Heinz, Michael

ミケール・ハインツ

An artistic prodigy in 1930s Germany, Heinz was so gifted that by age 10 he began composing the beginnings of his impressive art collection. This collection contains not only elaborate paintings and lithographs but also one-of-a-kind jewelry, sculptures, and metal works. Heinz was even able to create exquisite musical instruments. As such, Heinz's works were highly sought after by art collectors and galleries, and many would pay exorbitant amounts to own one of his works.
When the Nazi party began taking over Germany, Heinz fled the country for fear of political/artistic suppression. Traveling around the world, he eventually settled down in Japan, where he met and married a young Japanese woman. After the birth of their third daughter, Heinz travelled to the U.S., where he disappeared under mysterious circumstances. His vast and priceless collection of art works was soon auctioned off and dispersed to art dealers around the world. Eventually, many pieces found their way to Japan in the hands of various private dealers (many with criminal ties). In subsequent years, the collection was stolen piece by piece, regardless of heavy security, by a trio of thieves calling themselves "Cat's Eye," who were actually Heinz's grown-up daughters seeking clues to his whereabouts and hoping to get his attention to get him out of hiding.
