Plot Summary
Nakatomi Yataro is hired as a servant for the luxurious Belcourt Mansion, owned by the vastly rich Hikaru family. However, soon after he finds that the household have been terrorized by a mysterious figure known as the Eyeless Killer. It is revealed that the patriarch of the family, Umemoto had personally requested Nakatomi for his analytical abilities, but as the story unfolds, it becomes clear that the Eyeless Killer is something more than just a man.

Tsuda Hikaru - "T"
Tsuda is the elder of the Hikaru's two children, being seventeen years old. Seemingly a typical teenager, Tsuda spends most of his time in his room playing video games. However, when Tao is murdered by the Eyeless Killer, he takes on his "true" personality, that being of a vastly intelligent, manipulative tactician. A certified genius, Tsuda adores detective novels and has amassed a knowledge of crimes almost unparalleled. He takes it upon himself to discover the identity of the Eyeless Killer, adopting the pseudonym "T" as a nod to L from Death Note.

At first he seems to cower from danger, but he slowly grows more and more confident, eventually even directly confronting the Eyeless Killer and threatening to throw him from the window. However, even though he seems unstoppable, he still possesses child-like characteristics, such as a stubborn attitude, refusing to work with Nakatomi for a while, and a tendency to get distracted at times.

Tao Kura
A young girl that serves as Miyahara's main Laundry Maid, Tao has often been described as "a modern Helen of Troy" with long auburn hair and deep green eyes. The object of affection for Tsuda, Tao has been quoted as saying "we are kind of made for each other".
