Description
Oshiri Tantei is the central character of the film Eiga Oshiri Tantei: Sufūre-to no Himitsu, a detective whose face resembles a pair of buttocks and who carries himself with the manners of a refined gentleman. He operates a detective agency with his assistant Brown and is known for remaining calm and composed in every situation, for treating ladies with particular courtesy, and for enjoying warm drinks and sweet potato treats. His catchphrase, "Hmm, I smell something," signals the beginning of his investigations, and his habit of politely excusing himself before delivering his finishing move is one of his trademarks. He dislikes spicy food, which causes him to lose consciousness. He possesses an extremely high intellect and wears a checked beret that was handed down from his father.

In this film, his motivation is to protect the treasure of Sufūre Island, known as the Wind Signpost, after the phantom thief Kaito U sends a challenge notice announcing his intention to steal it. He travels to the island together with the WanKoro police and meets Ruru, a girl who rides the island's constant winds and flies freely through the sky, but who is bound by family tradition to guard the great lighthouse that the islanders depend on. His role in the story is both to anticipate Kaito U's scheme and to uncover the secret hidden on the island, as the treasure and the islanders' way of life are closely connected. On the night of the full moon named in the challenge, he works with his companions to keep the Wind Signpost out of the thief's hands.

His key relationships in the film include his loyal assistant Brown, who accompanies him and supports the investigation, Chief Maltese and the police officers who rely on his abilities, and Kaito U, his sophisticated rival who treats their encounters as a contest of wits. His meeting with Ruru adds a personal dimension to the case, since she longs to leave the island while feeling obligated to stay. Through the events of the film, he shows that his work is not only about stopping a thief; he also tries to understand the people involved and seeks a resolution that honors both the meaning of the treasure and Ruru's feelings. His development in the film is shown through his usual confidence in his reasoning being accompanied by a growing attentiveness to the hopes and struggles of others.

His notable abilities include sharp observation, precise deductive reasoning, and unshakeable composure even in dangerous moments. When he has cornered a culprit, he excuses himself and unleashes his signature special move, a powerful and unpleasant blast from his face that incapacitates the offender. During the film's investigation, he also presents riddles and puzzles that invite the audience to take part in solving the case. His defining qualities remain his politeness, his measured way of speaking, and his steady commitment to resolving each case with dignity.
