Junya Tokitsu (時津 潤哉 Tokitsu Junya?) is the High School Detective representing the North in the Detective Koushien that Conan Edogawa, Heiji Hattori, Saguru Hakuba and Natsuki Koshimizu attended.

Background

Though he was born in Tokyo, he grew up in Hokkaido. He had handled approximately 300 cases, where more than 250 people were arrested and prosecuted while got away and committed suicide.

Personality

Junya ha a great deal of pride as a detective. He demonstrates little empathy toward others, including the victims of cases.

Plot overview

Junya was invited to participate in the Detective Koshien by a fake Nichiuri director. He immediately sees through the trick to the Koshien's 'first round', a locked-room puzzle.

After excusing himself to prepare his deductions for the first round case, he is later found dead in his room in the same locked room situation. Conan deduces that Natsuki Koshimizu killed Junya and used the same locked room trick that was used in the Lavender Murder Case.

Junya was the detective involved during that case who unfortunately made incorrect deductions that it was a murder case even though it was actually a suicide. He realized later that his conclusion was wrong, or at least questionable, but didn't admit the possible error to the police. As a result, Natsuki's friend, the housemaid, was suspected as the culprit and committed suicide from the stress. When Natsuki confronted him on it, Junya showed little to no remorse, which sent her over the edge and caused her to beat him to death with a hammer.

Trivia

  • Tokitsu has rather odd speech patterns, referring to himself as shousei (小生). This is a rather archaic, self-deprecating form of "I" used by males with equals and subordinates; nowadays it's rare, but still used sometimes in letters and such. This is actually quite important to the plot, since Natsuki's friend noticed how unusual it was and told Natsuki that "a highschool detective with an odd accent" was the one who mistakenly got her accused for the Lavender Murder Case. Not knowing the name of said "high school detective", which wasn't released to the press due to being a minor, Natsuki gathered a group of sleuths fitting the description: Tokitsu, Hakuba (whose Japanese was odd-sounding due to living abroad), and Heiji (who has a strong Osaka accent).
