Description
Koharu Hondomachi is a field analyst for the quasi-independent investigative unit Kura, recruited after graduating from police academy with high marks. She works under Kokuryu Matsuoka, tracking serial killers by detecting and analyzing "cognition particles" using the Wakumusubi device. Her relationship with her mother is distant, highlighted by her mother's absence during her hospitalization after a severe head injury.
Hondomachi exhibits high intelligence, sharp analytical skills, and intense curiosity, particularly focused on the Mizuhanome System and "id wells"—digital representations of a killer's subconscious. This curiosity sometimes borders on morbidity; she expresses interest in becoming a "brilliant detective" despite warnings and admits finding death intriguing. She is proactive and confident, frequently acting independently when she deems it necessary, such as investigating suspicious locations without authorization. However, her determination can manifest as recklessness, including near-suicidal actions during confrontations [citation:].
A pivotal moment occurs when the serial killer Tamotsu Fukuda (the "Perforator") kidnaps her. To aid her team, she intentionally triggers Fukuda's murder method—a drill to the head—generating an id well that leads to his capture. This results in a permanent hole in her skull, mirroring Fukuda's injury. The incident's impact on her psyche is ambiguous, but her behavior grows more unstable afterward.
Later, during the Gravedigger case, she kills serial killer Haruka Kazuta in self-defense. The act implies she derived pleasure from it, prompting Matsuoka to recommend her as a part-time Mizuhanome pilot. As a pilot, she assumes the identity of "Brilliant Detective Miyo Hijiriido" to enter id wells. She further demonstrates her investigative prowess by deducing the identity of the antagonist John Walker using incomplete notes and information from Fukuda, with whom she develops a relationship of mutual respect despite his attempt to kill her.
Hondomachi possesses a unique ability to mentally reconstruct incomplete images or scenes, such as deducing the perspective needed to replicate a tilted sign, aiding her field analysis and id well investigations.
