Uozumi Kyouzou

Occupation: Detective
Hobbies: Fishing

A detective with a towering frame. Adept at the physical aspects of the occupation, including footwork. Met Reiji when they were both students; they joined the force and worked under the same supervisor. Still relies on Reiji for help with some cases. Though they tend to joke around with each other, his brawny strength is a good compliment to Reiji's critical thinking skills.

"That's a hell of a way to greet your friend when he's going out of his way to get you what you requested."

Spoiler

A longtime friend of Reiji and Kyouko since their school days, Uozumi was unexpectedly promoted and transferred to a regional position following the case related to "The Girl in the Shell." This move led to an unwanted separation from Kyoko, whom he has feelings for. He was mainly concerned for Kyouko after she suffered severe injuries in the incident. This circumstance solidified Uozumi's determination to be the one to protect her.
