The novelist Nomura Kodo brought forth this detective who lives in a cheap tenement in Kandamyoujin-shita with his wife. He loves smoking, and playing shogi on the veranda in his free time. His special trick is "Coin Tossing", catching criminals by throwing coins!! When he spies a villain, the four-mon coins he throws always hit their target, without fail!
A friend of the people, he hates corruption and will not take any kind of bribe, which means he lives in total poverty and sometimes it takes two months just to come up with the rent.
The ones there to help Heiji are his old, but comical friend, Hachigoro and his beloved wife, O-Shizu. O-Shizu, who always sends Heiji off after a "kiribi" (good-luck purification), is the one supporting Heiji and his heart... It is for O-Shizu's sake that he's tried to hold back on his "coin tossing" and be thrifty.
If England had Sherlock Holmes. then Japan's answer is Zenigata Heiji.
