Detective Conan

Towako Okano

岡野 十和子

Story Role

Towako enters the investigation after attacks corresponding to playing-card values lead Kogoro Mouri and the police to search for a possible "ten." Kogoro remembers that Towako's given name contains the relevant character and leads the investigators to Club Towako.

She is found unharmed, but the possibility that she could be the next target prompts the police to protect her. Her apparent place in the sequence initially strengthens the theory that someone is deliberately targeting Kogoro's acquaintances according to the numbers represented in their names.

Towako is ultimately not one of the intended victims. Hiroki Tsuji, whose surname contains the kanji for ten, is the actual ten in the constructed sequence, while the wider pattern is deliberately designed to misdirect investigators toward Jo Murakami.
