Greetings, inquisitive visitors! As you well may know, I am Saguru Hakuba. I’m seventeen, my birthday is the 29th of August, my blood type is A. Height: 180cm, weight: 65kg. My hair is blonde, just like my mother’s, but my eyes are brown like my father’s. I’m at the top of my class in school and am fluent in English, Japanese, and French.
Oh, and I’m a detective. With over 500 cases solved in Japan alone, and 300 internship hours under my belt, it’s no wonder that I’ve been called the Sherlock Holmes of a new century.
Several months ago, I came across some information about a jewel thief in Japan that was getting a large amount of publicity all across the world. Normally, my field focus is on cold case homicide, but with the nature of this thief’s heists and the particular interest he was getting… I decided to take a closer look.
Since my father is the highest ranking officer in Japan – indeed, the Superintendent General, it was an easy transfer from London, and put me in a prime position to investigate. Through my father’s connections and my own network and observation, I was able to determine Kaitou KID’s true identity.
Why isn’t he in jail, you might ask? The answer is simple… I’m not through with him yet. KID’s made some terrible enemies, some of whom I have been tracking for quite some time. Besides, there’s no telling what will happen to him when he’s finally caught, and I think it’d be rather unsporting for anyone to try to take revenge while he’s locked in a steel cage. Better to let the fox have run of the hen house – at least for the time being.
Because Kaitou KID is typically non-violent and returns what he steals, he’s not exactly within my jurisdiction. And, honestly, it’s much more fun to watch little Edogawa-kun try his luck. He’s a promising little detective, that Conan-kun. I think I should like to make him my apprentice some day, when he’s old enough.
Will I give up Kaitou KID’s identity? Perhaps, in time. Certainly not to you, dear readers, but you have my apologies. It just wouldn’t be fair. But then, not everyone has full access to a private crime lab, unrestricted access to far too many files, and a personal database with case files built up over the past several years on every person I’ve had a meaningful interaction with…
Ahem.
Even without the nonsense of Kaitou KID, there are plenty of things to keep me busy. Case upon case from my clients, assisting officers in my father’s department, school, dating… Oh, and the charity events. The problem with being a member of the high society crowd are all of the benefits and auctions and ridiculous, high-brow parties that you’re required to attend.
Though, that’s all par for the course, I’m afraid. I wonder if my colleagues have to deal with similar time-wasting rubbish. Truthfully, the only teen detectives that I keep track of these days are Kudo Shinichi and Hattori Heiji… the former having been ‘missing’ for over a year now (it is one of my most frustrating ongoing cases), and the latter being one of the most difficult people to work with in my entire career.
Such a shame, as we have so much in common…
Ah well. Do you have any further questions about myself or anything else? Please feel free to ask and I will do my utmost to reply. Please keep in mind that certain things may have already been covered (but could be elaborated upon) in the headcanon notes.
