Description
Yō Hattori leads the First Investigation Division of the police force. He is 36 years old, stands 181 cm tall, and was born on November 23. Profiling is his special skill, while chronic punctuality issues, especially meeting on time, are his notable weakness.
Outwardly, Hattori presents as a loose and laid-back adult, often napping and expressing difficulty waking up. Yet during investigations, a cold and sharp demeanor emerges, fueling rumors labeling him an "S-person" (sadist) within the Metropolitan Police Department. He exhibits a rational, straightforward work approach, though he occasionally makes provocative statements, like suggesting restraints negate the need to distinguish "Queen type or Servant type" preferences. When asked about his relationship with Takaomi Hiyama, he responds vaguely, remarking, "Ah~that was a long time ago."
Hattori operates independently, frequently bypassing standard procedures. His background as an experienced federal agent leads him to prioritize gathering critical intelligence over strict protocol adherence. He leverages his position in the newly formed STAND unit to access confidential information, viewing such adaptability as essential for survival and achieving justice. Despite a seemingly detached attitude, he demonstrates concern for colleagues, advising members of the First Division to "live in moderation."
His backstory centers on his partnership with Ida Masayoshi, a fellow officer who despised drug cases. This history becomes pivotal to the series' conspiracy involving the experimental drug Square, developed by Hibiya Yuki of Omori Pharmaceuticals to combat addiction. After Yuki's death—caused by Ida—Hattori relentlessly pursues his former partner from the shadows to uncover the truth. His investigation reveals Yuki abandoned the project due to severe unintended consequences affecting individuals like Rei Izumi and Sara, leading to the drug's weaponization.
Hattori's role evolves from a figure shrouded in suspicion to a key ally in exposing high-level corruption. He initially appears antagonistic, threatening Rei Izumi to deter her from dangerous leads, ostensibly for her protection. Ultimately, his actions align with dismantling the conspiracy, closing in on Ida and exposing connections involving Makoto Tsuzuki. His involvement culminates in revealing how Square's well-intentioned development spiraled into a cover-up by police leadership and corporate entities.
Hattori operates as a "chameleon," navigating gray areas to achieve justice. He acknowledges his methods—withholding information or using intimidation—deviate from conventional morality but defends them as necessary. His arc underscores a commitment to uncovering truth, even at personal cost, maintained behind an outwardly indifferent façade.
