Description
Funetaro Momoki worked as a homicide detective in the 1st Investigative Division with Akihito Narihisago and Kokuryu Matsuoka, forming a particularly close bond with Narihisago and his family. After the serial killer "the Challenger" murdered Narihisago's daughter Muku on October 26, 2016, and Narihisago's wife Ayako committed suicide, Narihisago killed the Challenger, resulting in his imprisonment. Momoki continued his police duties during this period.
Roughly two years later, following the creation of the Mizuhanome System and the Kura organization, Momoki and Matsuoka joined the new entity. Momoki became Director of the Wellside team, managing Mizuhanome operations alongside team members Sarina Togo, Shirou Kokufu, Masamune Habutae, Sennosuke Shiratake, and Kazuo Wakashika. This role reunited him with the imprisoned Narihisago, who served as the Mizuhanome pilot Brilliant Detective Sakaido during id well investigations. Momoki maintained a friendly relationship with Narihisago, unlike Matsuoka who shunned him.
During the Challenger case, Momoki rescued Kiki Asukai, the killer's final intended victim. Asukai later vanished under mysterious circumstances, prompting Momoki to conduct a personal, years-long investigation into her disappearance. This reflected his deep sense of duty and belief that an officer must save lives, demonstrated by his refusal to let Asukai die by suicide and his promise that she would be saved. His personal investment extended to other cases tied to his principles, like the mystery of serial killer creator John Walker.
Momoki possessed a firm yet empathetic personality, balancing stern professionalism with underlying compassion. While effectively managing the Wellside team, he occasionally indulged his curiosity beyond operational needs, such as continuing to observe Nahoshi Inami's id well after case resolution to understand its emotional symbolism. This hyper-focus tendency intensified in personally significant cases. During his Kura tenure, Momoki and Sarina Togo entered into a relationship that was at least sexual.
His convictions faced testing during the confrontation with John Walker, who threw the Kura into chaos while escaping. Momoki faced false accusations of being John Walker himself, leading to his temporary arrest. During the crisis, he intervened directly, donning protective gear to contain Kiki Asukai, whose unstable psychic abilities threatened the organization. His commitment to preserving life guided his actions, reinforcing his earlier promise to Asukai.
Physically, Momoki was a tall man with gray eyes and short, dark blue hair featuring a prominent cowlick. He typically wore a black suit, gray waistcoat, off-purple shirt, and gray tie. Originally designated as Takuhiko Hayaseura's successor for Kura chief, Shirou Kokufu ultimately assumed that role, leaving Momoki to continue as Wellside Director.
