Description
Onigawara is a supporting character in the anime Steam Detectives. He works as a detective with the Steam City Police Department and is a capable member of the city's law enforcement. He serves as a field officer who regularly works alongside the young detective Narutaki, although not always willingly. He tends to resent Narutaki's involvement in police investigations, feeling that the young amateur detective intrudes on work that should belong to the police, but he nevertheless cooperates with him when circumstances require it.
In terms of personality, Onigawara is described as a good detective who can be a little over the top. He is hardworking and devoted to his duties, but his enthusiasm sometimes carries him away. He also has an open and unguarded romantic side, being very openly affectionate toward Ling Ling, Narutaki's assistant, even though his feelings are not returned. This one-sided affection is a recurring trait that adds a lighter dimension to his interactions with the main cast.
His role in the story is that of a supporting police detective who assists in various cases, providing institutional backing to Narutaki's freelance detective work. One episode centers on him directly, in which he is assigned to guard a valuable teddy bear set with black diamonds during its exhibition in Steam City. During this assignment, the criminal known as Crimson Scorpion attempts to seduce him in order to learn the code to the safe holding the treasure, and she becomes overly obsessed with him in the process. Onigawara withstands the attempt, the theft is foiled, and his professional reputation is preserved.
Onigawara's motivations stem from his sense of duty as a police detective. He is dedicated to upholding the law and protecting the citizens of Steam City. His resentment toward Narutaki reflects professional pride and a wish for the police to handle their own cases rather than any deep personal hostility. His relationship with Narutaki develops into an uneasy but functional working partnership, with Onigawara acting as the police presence in the field. His relationship with Ling Ling is defined by his open, unrequited crush on her. His development across the series is modest, as he remains a reliable and capable officer, and the episode focused on him demonstrates his integrity under pressure.
In terms of notable abilities, Onigawara is a skilled and experienced detective with solid investigative competence. He is trusted with high-value protective assignments and demonstrates the professionalism needed to resist deception and manipulation while in the line of duty.
