Utsumi, Toshio

内海俊夫

Toshio serves as the male protagonist of the series and is Hitomi's high school sweetheart. Even during his high school years, Toshio always dreamed of becoming a police detective. Upon graduating from the Academy, he was assigned to the Inunaki, or Crying Dog, District Police Station located in the heart of Tokyo. Although Toshio has wanted to marry Hitomi, he vowed not to do so until he captures Cat's Eye (though he has taken the first step by proposing to her).
While somewhat clumsy and not particularly skilled at finding clues, his dogged determination and unyielding persistence have impressed his supervisors. However, he is very stubborn and constantly gets into verbal fights with his Chief. Toshio does not carry a gun, preferring to use his wits and fists to contend with criminals. He has a weakness for beautiful women and constantly makes Hitomi jealous.
