Daizo Shiba (芝 大造(しば だいぞう), Shiba Daizō), also known as Devil's Shiba (鬼の芝, Oni no Shiba), is a veteran detective with 25 years of criminal life who advances the investigation with intuition and feet[1]. He is dissatisfied with his appointment as the head of the Special Forensic Investigation Office, which focuses on forensic investigations that are out of touch with intuition[1].

Ever since he lost his wife in a traffic accident, he has come to dislike machines and has been harsh on K, calling him a "mechanical doll" (機械人形, kikai ningyō) and a "scrap metal bastard" (鉄屑野郎, tetsukuzu yarō). However, he was helped by K many times, and as he was touched by his kindness and sense of justice that surpassed those of humans, his hardened heart gradually melted, and after BAD was destroyed, he said to K, "Let's work together forever" (いつまでも一緒にやってくれ, Itsu made mo issho ni yatte kure). He has two daughters, Nami and Yumi.

Behind the Scenes[]

Portrayal[]

Daizo Shiba was portrayed by Kaku Takashina (高品 格, Takashina Kaku). Producer Toru Hirayama, who had become a fan of Takashina since The Shogun and the Fishmonger, was appointed because he wanted Takashina, who play villains, to play a different role[2].
