Prison School

Meiko is a tall, attractive, and robust young woman with gray hair that she wears in a bun with bangs swept to the right side while she has neck-length hair strands hanging on either side, brown eyes with oval-shaped spectacles, and she has an extremely fit and voluptuous body, notably her large breasts.
She is usually seen wearing the school uniform with knee-length boots, tights, a miniskirt with a purple thong underneath and is the only female staff member in dress code that has an open collar, showcasing her ample cleavage, she also brandishes a horse-whip for torture methods on the prisoners.
In middle school, she used to have medium-length straight hair with square bangs hanging over her forehead before a younger Mari Kurihara convinced her to tie her hair back. She is known to sweat quite profusely when facing fear of upsetting or disappointing Mari in any way.

Meiko is a highly confident girl who is commonly seen around campus in a scanty outfit and her reputation for being a sadist and a misandrist is well known, especially to the five boys whom she physically punishes during their detention. She is often seen with a horse whip that she uses for punishing detainees who disobey her and Takehito Morokuzu is regularly her victim. Meiko has immense physical strength and is a capable combatant, using her physical abilities to loyally aid her best friend and superior Mari Kurihara (the USC President) as a senior member of the Underground Student Council .
During her spare time, she completes a hundred or more squats and push ups and she is capable of many brutal feats of strength. Meiko diligently yet strictly fulfils her guard duty over the male prisoners. However, she can be sympathetic to the male prisoners; even fulfilling courtesies towards the boys by giving them prisoners' gifts each month, "deathwishes" before their expulsion & even gathering insects for Gakuto's last meal. Meiko used to be a shy and meek girl in middle school who was bullied by a younger Kate Takenomiya due to her large breast size. She befriended a younger Mari and she regains her confidence when Mari convinced Meiko to defend herself from the bullying. However, when she was led into believing that she burned a tree and killed Mari's crow hatchlings as a result, she loses confidence and reverts to her prior shyness.
Meiko is very devoted to Mari, almost to the point of obsession. She's also shown to have a weakness against men with chest hair as proven when Reiji Andou 's long nipple hair is exposed during their arm wrestling competition.
While she sweats profusely from rigorous workouts, it tends to be one of her greater quirks when she's in a state of fear. Aside from sweating a lot when she works out, Meiko breaks out in constant sweat attacks when she thinks things aren't coming along as they should be or when she's failed President Mari Kurihara .

Mitsuko is a beautiful, slim and short teenage girl with dark green hair that is tied in twin buns with bangs swept to the left side and emerald eyes.
She is seen wearing the standard school uniform, without a tie and sometimes dresses with an open collar and without the blazer when doing manual labor for the official Aboveground Student Council . She is often inadvertently seen with her skirt stuck inside her underwear.

Mitsuko is a extremely clumsy girl who befriends Gakuto due to their having embarrassing public situations in common. Like Gakuto, with her klutzy attempts at manual labor (and sometimes by sheer bad luck), she can start off huge chain-reaction accidents that usually result in minor injury for those involved.
Mitsuko displays a heavy interest in the histories of the Three Kingdoms, and displays 'otaku' behavior by staying in the library and collecting manga issues. Mitsuko has a shy and kind temperament, though she is confident enough to converse with Gakuto in the library when he attempts to avoid her. She has a crush on Gakuto, and begins to cry when she mistakes Jouji Nezu (Joe) and Gakuto as an 'item' and says she will cheer them on.
Notably, she is the only Student Council member to hold no grudge against the Underground Student Council . To Gakuto's shock, Mitsuko shows an interest in yaoi manga and becomes an novice manga-artist (or ' doujin sakka ') .

However, his subordinates fear the mysterious dark aura he exerts and his rare but black tempers. Mr. Important does show some naivety during the bear hunt, presuming that the Chairman and Honey fear the unholstered soldiers.

Andre is an obese tall young man, with black hair and pale skin. He has black hair and black eyes. Andre is heavily covered in mounds of fat and also is the tallest out of the boys, proving himself as the strongest of the five boys during his incarceration in the Prison Block of the school by arm wrestling with the Vice President for five minutes. Andre has the strangest facial features of any character in the series: his ear lobules reach all the way to the neck below his large head and even though his head is larger than a normal person's head, his face is proportionally smaller than the average teenage boy's face.

The gentle-mannered calm nature of Andre is shown in his deep care for his friends, often placing them ahead of himself in his relations with them. The care he shows to the other first year boys is especially apparent in his treatment of Jouji Nezu , who he values more than the other boys and shows more emotional concern about. The most lecherous member of the boys, Andre is also an extreme masochist which is used as a tool by the Underground Student Council to manipulate him later in the manga. This masochistic behaviour leads to a strong admiration for his main source of punishment and visual stimulation, the scantily dressed USC Vice-President Meiko Shiraki . However, he grows a fondness for Risa Bettou after she starts engaging his masochism as a dominatrix to the point of abandoning his friends to aid the Aboveground Student Council 's cavalry team in the All-Student-Council Cavalry Battle. The deviant behaviour he characterises throughout the series devolves into more sadistic behaviour towards Meiko later on which he refers to as "Andrenomics" or "investment-upon-return".


Prison School

Risa is a slim young woman of middling height, and also has blue eyes and hair in a boycut. She has shaved eyebrows, thin lips, and wears dark eyeliner that gives her a hawkish and tough appearance. Risa is usually seen wearing the standard female school uniform, and wears a embellished prison guard uniform while on guard duty. She is always seen wielding a shinai (a bamboo kendou-style sword), and can replace it with any long hard object from the environment if need be (such as a metal pipe).

Risa is a confident and kind character who is willing to diligently work to please Andre through his masochist tendencies, by becoming a dominatrix. She has a strong crush on Andre which develops throughout the series. A capable kendou practitioner, Risa is able to use her shinai with great proficiency. She is highly loyal to the Aboveground Student Council President Kate Takenomiya to the point of ruthlessness. Though she can be cold at heart when efficiency in completing orders is needed, Andre believes she is kind at heart inside her tough exterior, if a little too kind for her dominatrix efforts to be successful. Andre's admiration for the Vice-President's brutal punishment and figure is a cause of jealousy for her.


Prison School

Satou is a teenage girl with black hair tied in two pigtails, black eyes and an average height. She is commonly seen wearing the standard school uniform and glasses without a jacket.

The school cleaner is a bald heavyset adult with a short-length beard. He is always seen wearing an apron with either a collared shirt and trousers when cleaning or a white shirt and jeans when he is not working. Dark shadows obscure his eyeholes and pupils in all his appearances; as such, his eye color is unknown.

Shingo is a teenage boy of average height, with blonde hair and light skin. His gelled hair and open collar give him the appearance of a thug. Shingo has an average weight with the least muscle of the five boys. Only Jouji Nezu is shorter than him out of the five boys. He is commonly seen wearing the normal school uniform with an open collar and no tie.

Shingo is a moody and nonchalant individual who is often the source of the more pessimistic opinions shared by the boys. He often makes selfish decisions for self-promotion or personal benefit at the expense of the 'team', putting him at odds with the other boys. Shingo is one of the more lecherous people in the boys, eagerly plotting to peek at a female bathing area with the other boys. He can be excessively narcissistic at times, holding his physical appearance in high esteem and requesting a hair pomade as a prisoner gift. Though he is mostly loyal to the other boys, he sometimes acts with hypocrisy to betray them and then judge Kiyoshi Fujino badly for the same act. Shingo is prone to sulking and acting peevish when things are not going the way he likes, leaving his cell unkempt and constantly voicing his complaint when all their prison stays are extended. His crush for Anzu Yokoyama changes him for the better and gives him a more positive outlook on life.


Prison School

The Shopkeeper of Spanking is a voluptuous looking adult woman who wears black bondage gear and a black eyemask. She was seen smoking in one particular instance.

The Shopkeeper of Spanking had a hidden heart of gold underneath the dominatrix personality.

She doesn't like it when people call her "mom" or a "mother".


Prison School

Gakuto is tall and wiry (only shorter than Reiji Andou from the boys), with black hair and black eyes. Gakuto is the only boy in the group to wear glasses and sports long locks until Volume 8, when he offers to have Meiko Shiraki (the USC Vice-President) shave them off his head. Thus, he is now a skinhead after his incarceration in the Prison Block.
Noted to have been the leanest of the five, Gakuto gains muscle in the Prison Block from hard labor to become lean and tall with an average weight.

Gakuto is a calculating and intelligent person, though relatively lacking in his studies. He is thus the mastermind behind a lot of the organized breakouts in the prison along with Kiyoshi Fujino . Gakuto's plots also prevent the boys from being excluded several times. He is obsessed with the Three Kingdoms and is the smartest of the five.
However, in rare cases, if Takehito realizes that the plans he organized are failing and there is nothing he can do or think of, he would begin to get stress to the point of losing his own sanity out of frustration and gets driven into a state of crazed, ignorant and foolish actions; this was showcased two times in the manga. [1] [2] [3] .
He is still one of the most lecherous of the five and shows 'otaku' habits in his behavior, spending much time at the School Library when not imprisoned and going to great lengths inside it in order to get a collector figurine. Gakuto has an eclectic & archaic style of speech, punctuating his words with "indeed" ( ござる , gozaru ⃝ℹ ) .
He is a respectful person, referring to himself as "yours truly" ( 小生 , shōsei ⃝ℹ ) [4] and using the honorific "-dono" ( どの , "-dono" ⃝ℹ ) when referring to his friends. Gakuto is one of the most reliable characters in the series, sacrificing his long locks and dignity to prevent his friends from being harmed in any way.

In the manga, he was initially subtly shorter than Ream, however they became about the same height in the later chapters of the part 1 of the manga.
As the 1989 anime was co-produced along with Kiteretsu Encyclopedia by Gallop , this incarnation of Bon bears Kiteretsu Encyclopedia (and the 1979 anime of Doraemon ) - esque design in general. He wears a differently designed formal Time Patrol uniform, which was loosely based on that in the part 3 of the manga. Bon was also voiced by Yuji Mitsuya who also played Tongari from Kiteretsu Encyclopedia .
Bon in the 2016 Doraemon film wears a formal Time Patrol uniform of the Doraemon franchise.

In general, Bon Namihira is somewhat reminiscent of Nobita Nobi in Doraemon Long Stories although there are notable differences in characteristics between them.
As he acknowledges himself, along with what his name represents, Bon is generally "mediocre" in many ways. He is neither lonely nor sociable, but doesn't have any interests to devote. However, he can be rich in curiosity. [2]
He is also quite clumsy and loose and cocky at times even after becoming an official Time Patrol agent, resulting in rather pathetic mistakes and self-caused injuries, and made several Time Paradoxes . He is also somewhat lazy, however he is somewhat more diligent than Nobita Nobi and occasionally dedicates in decent efforts.
He is also depicted to be notably brave especially in emergencies since the beginning, the execution attempt of him by Time Patrol and the rescue of Ream from a Futabasaurus. He can also occasionally come up with important ideas to solve ongoing situations. However, this bravery may also result in reckless and careless actions, and he died at least twice for this; being killed by Minotaur and "artificially" died from a cardiac arrest to replace Philippides and became Eukles, the new sire of marathon.
Due to his morale and sense of justice, he repeatedly made mistakes to trigger changes in the history and had also suffered on multiple occasions due to the regulations of Time Patrol to not to freely interfere fates of people and animals.
In the 1989 anime, he was depicted to be more simple and straightforward, and more overreacting than in the manga and the 2024 anime.
In the 2024 anime, he doesn't participate in any school club while he in the manga belongs to a baseball team managed by Tetsuo Shiraishi . He is also unfazed by Yumiko's good looking unlike Tetsuo and Yanagisawa .
He dislikes injections. While the gadget to change body pigments to disguise was noted to be painless in the 1989 anime, it was depicted to be tingling in the 2024 anime.
Unlike Nobita Nobi who has been noted to be lewd at times especially towards Shizuka Minamoto , Bon in contrast has not showed such aspects.

He appears as a floating sentient blob of yellow color featured in the original manga series and the 2024 anime, while colored green in the 1989 film.
On the contrary to the manga and the 2024 anime, Buyoyon in the 1989 anime is depicted to be greenish in coloration.
Due to his appearance, Bon once called Buyoyon a "jellyfish monster/ghost/yokai" (クラゲおばけ Kurage Obake ). He was also once misidentified as a horse dung.

He is proud of himself as a supernatural being and often acts bossy.
Due to his history of positive and cooperative associations with various Time Patrol officers, Buyoyon in the 1989 anime is regarded as an unofficial member (supporter) of the organization, and the Time Patrol headquarter has exceptionally approved his accompaniment to agents on their missions.
He doesn't specifically favor animals in general because they are often startled by Buyoyon's appearance and presence, and may trouble him in the end. Additionally, he dislikes carnivorous creatures as they often try to prey on him.
In the 1989 anime, he has a habit of adding "dearu", meaning "be" and "is", at the end of words to put on airs.

Korosuke is a samurai robot. His head is made of rubber, and his body is a plastic bucket. His hands are two rubber balls; despite not being able to play rock-paper-scissors with them, some comic panels and animated scenes do depict him with mitten-like fingers. He is approximately 50 centimeters tall and 30 centimeters wide.
Korosuke’s body colors have changed significantly between the publication of the original manga and the release of the 1987 TV special. In earlier color comic media, his head was pink or orange, and his body was red or yellow.

From the anime series onward, his palette was changed yet again: his light yellow head color was kept, but his body is orange, his nose and two circles are now red, and his sword’s sheath is red.

Leviathan is an unusually large and powerful North Atlantic right whale with over 80 feet in body length where North Atlantic right whales of that time were usually around 45 feet long.
For the 1989 anime, she instead resembles a Bowhead whale , a close relative of Right whales. General shapes of rostrum and head, lacking callosities, and white coloration on the lower jaw are classic characteristics of Bowhead whales than Right whales. Her size also corresponds with unconfirmed, alleged largest records of Bowhead whales. Leviathan in the manga lacks neither callosities nor white coloration on the lower jaw.
On the other hand, she in the 2024 anime was depicted to be physically (almost) correct as a Right whale. However, the depiction of her to dive for over an hour and to have more than several calves together is biologically incorrect; Right whales are known for their slow reproductive rates to give births to only one calf every 3 to 5 years. Her baleen plates are also much shorter than actual Right Whales.

It also had menacingly glowing eyes and a pair of yak-like horns.

Ream is subtly taller than Bon, and she usually acts as a senior to him despite presumably being at the same age. Her taller stature than Bon was presumably because they were young teens. However, she and Bon became about the same height in the later chapters of the part 1 of the manga.
Ream in the 1989 anime usually wears a differently designed formal Time Patrol uniform instead of the uniform in the manga and the 2024 anime. As the 1989 anime was co-produced along with Kiteretsu Encyclopedia by Gallop , this incarnation of Ream bears Kiteretsu Encyclopedia (and the 1979 anime of Doraemon ) - esque design in general. The 1989 Ream is also somewhat shorter than in the manga and the 2024 anime.
Ream in the 2016 Doraemon film wears a formal Time Patrol uniform of the Doraemon franchise.
In the manga, Ream was initially taller than Bon. However, presumably as the time passes, their heights became about the same in the later episodes of the part 1. Height difference between Bon and Ream in the 1989 anime was much smaller than in the 2024 anime while Ream in the 2024 anime is 160cm tall, making her 10cm taller than Bon. [1] In the Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan 2016 , Bon and Ream are about the same in height. [1]

She in the manga and the 2024 anime, and Yumiko Yasukawa in the manga and the 1989 anime, are somewhat similar both in appearances and personalities where both of them are brave, wise, cheerful, friendly and compassionate, but somewhat firm and stubborn especially in the 2024 anime. On the other hand, Ream and Bon can be clumsy and loose even after becoming official Time Patrol agents, resulting in triggering additional risks.
Due to her morale and sense of justice, she had suffered on multiple occasions due to the regulations of Time Patrol to not to freely interfere fates of people and animals. Especially in the 2024 anime, her rigidity towards Bon and rather casual attitude regards "deaths", including the attempt to erase Bon and forcing him to suffer and die instead of Philippides , have presumably been due to her own sense of responsibility, [Notes 1] , suffering, [Notes 2] and the fact that she knew the outcomes. [Notes 3]
Notably, while expressing sympathy towards Bon, she did not hesitate to "erase" him in their first encounter, and she also forced Bon to complete a severe marathon and "die" to refill the time paradox caused by Bon. However, her firmness and stubbornness (especially in the 2024 anime) are because of her strong sense of responsibility.

His passion for the Djoser's pyramid resulted in later incidents including his son's death.
His passion was too strong that he rejected the advice from Hathor (Ream in disguise). Even though he wished his son's safety at his death, his son ironically followed the same way.

In all of the manga and anime adaptations, Yumiko was noted for her good-looking. Ironically, of all her anime appearances, aside from her Time Patrol uniform, her design in Doraemon: Nobita and the Birth of Japan 2016 is the most loyal to the manga. Her uniform in the manga differs from that of Ream Stream .
In the 1989 anime, Yumiko was generally designed after Yoko Shiraki , and was subtly taller than Bon despite her being either the same age or a junior to Bon. This is presumably because they were young teens although it is also possible that they are technically the same age but Yumiko didn't turn 14 years old at the time of events. She also wears a differently designed uniform from the manga. As the 1989 anime was co-produced along with Kiteretsu Encyclopedia by Gallop , this incarnation of Yumiko bears Kiteretsu Encyclopedia (and the 1979 anime of Doraemon ) - esque design in general. She also wears a differently designed Time Patrol uniform from the manga although it is based on the second and third parts of the manga.
In the 2024 anime, Yumiko has hair style and coloration that are rather intermediate between Yoko and Yumiko in the manga with some remembrances to her Yoko-based hair style in the 1989 anime. She has Amber eyes and Brown hair. Her hairstyle is quite different from manga version.
In the manga, she somewhat resembles Ream when she untangles her hair.

In the manga and the 2024 anime, she is a renowned and popular student for her appearance, excellences in academic and physical capabilities, and cheerfulness. These characteristics are in contrast to Bon in many ways.
Notably in the manga and the 1989 anime, Yumiko has been noted for her cleverness, strong-will, bravery, and stubbornness, and can be blunt and impudent on occasions to object against senior agents such as Bon and Gayler (especially Bon). Her attitude towards Bon in their first manga encounter was also because of her distrust of a stranger (Bon). Her contention without hesitation, even against senior agents, is also due to her sense of justice to speak up for what she believes correct, such as Louis Stream 's treatment. She is also clever, and used her cleverness to enroll to Time Patrol.
However, she also suffers the duty of Time Patrol agents akin to Ream and Bon that they are not allowed to freely interfere fates of individuals to save them from tragedies.
In the season 1 of the 2024 anime, she is depicted to be more modest and ladylike than her previous incarnations although she is also calm to be not scared by Yanagisawa 's horror story.

Anice from above Anice with the poisoned coffee

Brewer had worked at the radio station and became a big fan of Dread's show. Rumors about Dread and Brewer being a couple started to appear as Randal Mann the sound man appeared to have heard the rumors, despite not seeing them together once. Brewer was often known as the "tea lady" or "tea girl" by staff as she only worked at the station's cafeteria.
Mike de Bonair , the director of Dread's show, believed the rumors and as part of his plan to kill Dread over his splurging of his money, convinced Dread to pull off an elaborate prank of him dying during one of his shows and enlisted Brewer's help with the prank. Brewer's role was to hide in the storeroom once she served the drinks to everyone and send a fax request that sounded similar to a death threat.
On the day of the show, before Dread, Hollerday, and her manager Melody Smith arrived at the studio, Brewer served the drinks to de Bonair and Mann and subsequently left to the storeroom. As she listened to the show while eating some snacks she had brought, the prank went off perfectly, albeit with a few improvisations on Dread's part, and Mann quickly switched to an ad break after Dread collapsed. When Brewer heard the ad about a sale on Farrods, she wrote on her arm about the ad so she would go there later.
Unbeknownst to her, de Bonair soon killed Dread with a poisoned cup of tea and went to the storeroom to kill her. As de Bonair didn't know her name and profession, he gave her a poisoned cup of coffee and soon placed a perfume bottle containing the poison in her hand. After he left her to die, Brewer wanted people to know she didn't kill herself so she threw the bottle against the cabinets, making the bottle broken beyond recognition.
During the investigation of Dread's murder, Brewer was a suspect but was unidentified. When Inspector Alfendi Layton and Lucy Baker investigated the scene with Hollerday, Brewer's corpse was found in the storeroom and due to the written fax request and the broken bottle of poison found near her, she was assumed to be Dread's killer. However, the written ad on her hand suggested she did not commit suicide and was instead murdered. Given the suspects' statements of what they did after Dread supposedly died, de Bonair was the only one without an alibi and was the prime suspect.
When de Bonair was questioned, he argued that due to her being a die-hard fan of Dread and the fax request and broken perfume bottle found near Brewer's body, she must have been the culprit. Unfortunately for him, the police didn't even know the bottle was originally a perfume bottle so given that he knew what the bottle originally was, he must have been the killer. de Bonair soon admitted defeat and everything regarding the murders.

Bill is a stubborn, greedy, callous and overall unpleasant man. He ignores other people's opinions often, as he chose to follow through with the time machine experiment, dismissing Dimitri's observations, simply because he was offered a large sum of money to complete it.

He does, however, hesitate when asked to enter the time machine being presented during the event at the beginning of Unwound Future , showing that he at least remembers the events of the original experiment and has a bit of trauma from it.
Even after hearing the full story of Clive's evil and his personal role in it, he sticks to his belief that he is a victim instead of Clive. He also regrets none of what he did, even though he ruined the lives of countless others and betrayed his closest friend for mere material gain. He is also quite ruthless, as he used any means possible to cover up his mistakes, including death threats, breaking and entering, and even physical violence.

Bob is a young man who has dark blonde hair, a pink necktie, a white long-sleeved shirt under a brown jacket with matching pants. He has a very small face compared to his haircut and the rest of his head, and nothing much in the way of his facial features (spare his nose) are very defined.

Bob certainly stands out in the series as a more eccentric character than most, mainly down to the fact that he emphasises when he's parenthesising information.

As he's essentially the "Lestrade" to Layton's "Holmes", Chelmey enjoys "showing Layton up" despite Layton usually doing a better job of solving mysteries than him. Chelmey takes pride in his job and is quite dedicated to being an inspector. Though he has demonstrated great talent in analytical thinking, his habit of jumping to conclusions often leads to him being outdone by Layton. He also considers himself to be in a rivalry to Layton, despite said rivalry being one-sided due to Layton considering him more of a friend.

In her work uniform, she wore a short white labcoat-style jacket over a black shirt with a pink tie, with green leggings.

Claire was a strong-willed young woman. She cared a lot about those close to her, and was not above putting her own safety on the line to help others. She was interested in science, and was well versed in physics. She worked as a lab assistant, despite being a brilliant scientist on her own. She has a clear sense of humor, as she enjoyed teasing Hershel ten years ago. This continued in the game, where she jokes with both Hershel and Luke. She is implied to possibly have a fondness to puzzles, which she alludes to in Layton's initial flashback (happily quoting his often-used catchphrase of every puzzle having an answer).
Claire was immensely kind, loving and selfless as well as courageous, accepting her fate as a casualty of the malfunctioned time machine and showing no fear of her inevitable return to the moment of her death, merely a regretful sadness at the loss of her promising future with Hershel. She also did not shy away from taking responsibility for her involvement in the incident, as she worked on the time machine's development and was willing to act as its test subject, and willingly stood in the way of any attempts to try and prevent her death due to her concern for the damage this could cause to the flow of time.

He is cunning and resourceful. He is shown to be a person of vengeance, disguising his intentions under the name of "justice" which he prioritizes. After the immediate effects of his revenge subside, he tells the Professor that he felt unable to stop himself, hoping that the Professor might do that for him, like he did when he was young. He intends to atone fully for his crimes and accepts arrest willfully. He cares for his parents deeply and is said to be a good person inside.

It is implied that he has gone through much turmoil in the past because of Targent's actions. He also claims to have a "saint's patience", though it is probably more accurately labeled as "good at holding his anger in".


Professor Layton

Like her father, Diane had pale white skin and maroon eyes. While not disguised, she wore a very intricate dark purple-black frilly one piece dress, with matching arm covers, glovets and a black hair-piece that ran across the right side of her head, giving her a mysterious, alluring look. Her hair was a pale shade of blonde, which she kept tied up at the back in a ponytail while allowing it to grow out small bangs on both sides of her head by saying a spreading spell and shaking the ground with her in the mix.

Diane exhibited a devious, murderous streak much like her father . Her most frightening ability was perhaps her silver tongue, as she was capable to worm her way into people and bend them to her will in very short spans of time, such as when she was able to mastermind a murder in South America simply by charming and then manipulate a local young man into murdering an archaeologist , while passing herself off as a local by the name of Mariana Etista and despite knowing the guy only for a short while, or when she succeeding into seducing and manipulate Barbarossa Sassina , the seasoned and brutal right-hand man of a mafia family, into not only killing his associates but also his own boss, once again managing to do so quite rapidly, before betraying him without a second thought.
Additionally, she could be highly independent and was capable of murder solo. She also presented a somewhat morbid playfulness, going so far as to re-create one of her father's murders through arranging caricature crime scenes around a new victims of her own.
On the surface, however, Diane presented herself as amicable - at least, when around Lucy Baker . She had a calm demeanour that belied her quest for vengeance, seeking to end Alfendi Layton 's life whatever the cost in retribution for her father's killing. She was later proven to be conclusively mistaken in her assumption of Alfendi's guilt, though by then she was already deceased.
Diane possessed remarkable voice mimicry skills, being easily able to alter her voice to various tones, which greatly aided her in her schemes, such as when she tried to assume the identity of a demon, or when she copied the voice of Alfendi to lure Lucy into a trap.

As a result, he looks much older than he actually does despite the likes of Layton and Celeste being around his same age, yet look much younger than him.
When he was still a student, he wore a lab coat over a yellow shirt and gray tie, looked much more youthful in the face, his hair was shorter, and he had no goatee.
When masquerading as Alain Stahngun, he wears the same clothes, but with subtle differences: Both his hat and the rose on his lapel are gone, and he wears a red necktie and a fake grey mustache.
When masquerading as Future Layton, he wears his usual outfit, but again, with subtle differences: Over his regular outfit, he wears a longcoat similar to Layton's jacket. Like Layton's jacket, the collar is large and upturned, but the color of the jacket is grey instead of brown, and there's a white rose affixed to the left side of it, and it is closed instead of open. He also wears a red scarf and a hat similar to Layton's, but it's grey instead of brown, and its brim is white instead of red.


Professor Layton

Doland wears a brown suit jacket over a white shirt with a red bow-tie. He also wears glasses. He has a long nose and is partially bald.

Doland has a very kind and quiet way of living. His submissive nature can be easily exploited.


Professor Layton

Don Paolo is a fairly tall man with pale skin, a long nose, and black hair. His eyes are small with dark bags under them, and his eyelashes are long and jut out from the outer corners of his eyes. He's got both a mustache and a goatee. His most defining feature is the hair on his head; he's bald on top (and has been at least since his late 20s) but jutting out the sides is hair shaped like devil horns pointed upwards in the middle. He wears a purple coat with a red interior and the lapels upturned over a white dress shirt with a dark teal tie, orange pants, brown shoes, and black gloves.
His younger self wears a pink blazer over a blue sweater vest and a white dress shirt with brown buttons. His facial features were also much softer: His hair was down, he had no bags under his eyes, his eyebrows were thin and un-furrowed, his mustache drooped down at the ends, and his pupils were slightly elongated. The shock of witnessing Layton and Claire kiss, however, is what resulted in his facial features warping into how he currently looks.
In Layton Mystery Detective Agency: Kat's Mystery-Solving Files , his "horns" are shorter, his mustache no longer ends in points, and his goatee juts outward. He also wears a red trench coat with a teal inner lining and the lapels upturned, black gloves, black pants, and teal shoes.

Being the Moriarty to his Holmes, Don Paolo is the opposite of Layton in every way: While Layton is polite, composed, never raises his voice, and does his best to help others, Don Paolo is rude, easily agitated, overly loud when he speaks, and antagonizes everyone he meets. He causes chaos pretty much everywhere he goes, and unabashedly revels in it. Despite this, he's renowned as a scientist of the highest order by those who know of him.
He despises Layton and company with a passion and is always plotting against them, stopping at nothing to put an end to them. There are times, however, where he helps Layton, though he claims he only does it for Flora, likely to repent for the many things he's put her through. According to his in-game profiles, he enjoys playing and listening to music, and does so when he is not scheming.


Professor Layton

Professor Layton

Perfetti has very dark brown, mid shoulder length hair which appears to be somewhat frizzy.
She is always seen wearing circular glasses, a grey-blue skirt and blazer, orange ribbon and dark boots. Emiliana carries a thick, dark green book at all times, which she is seen to consult during the puzzle solving animation.

Since she is an adept criminal profiler (described by others as a "genius", as well as earning the "title" of "genius analyst"), Emiliana is very logical, only relying on cold hard facts. It is for this reason that she dislikes Kat's 'gut'-reliant methods.
Somewhat surprisingly, she is terrified of the supernatural.
She claims that she likes watching movies to unwind between her work, however this seems to be something of an understatement as she entered the competition to win tickets to "No Sub for Love" hundreds of times although she denied this. She is also hinted that she is a fan of romance (and the actor Leonardo DiCameo), which she also denied.
She is described by her co-workers as a "severe" person, and they are surprised when she shows her more considerate, soft side.
Mintan has a crush on her, but it seems Emiliana does not reciprocate these feelings.


Professor Layton

Emmy is tall and slim with light skin, wavy dark brown hair, and black oval eyes.
As a teenager, Emmy wears a long-sleeved, collared yellow blouse with black buttons and a dark green skirt ending just above the knee. She has knee-high black socks with a red stripe near the top, red flats, a red ponytail holder, and a small red purse slung on her shoulder.
As Layton's assistant, Emmy wears a collared white blouse under a yellow trenchcoat, a brown belt with a brown camera pouch on her back, a pink bowtie, white leggings, and dark green boots. In Last Specter and Eternal Diva , Emmy has one yellow strap with a buckle around each sleeve, while in the other two games she does not. Her hair is down past her shoulders and in the latter two games is noticeably not as thick.
When riding her scooter, Emmy wears a white helmet with a black strap and tinted, white-framed goggles.
When cooking in the end credits of Last Specter , Emmy wears a long-sleeved white collared shirt, a yellow apron, and a pale pink bandana holding back her hair.
In Luke's dream in Miracle Mask , Emmy wears a long-sleeved scoop-necked pink gown with a wide, darker pink ribbon tied around her waist and a white flower in her hair.
After getting a job at the World Times following the events of Azran Legacy , Emmy wears a loose-fitting white shirt with a collar and rolled sleeves tucked into dark gray shorts or pants, and a light yellow sweater tied around her shoulders. Her hair has been cut short.

Emmy Altava is a strong-willed young woman who loves taking pictures, and takes them whenever and wherever she can. She can be feisty, but is also kind, caring, and protective. She enjoys teasing Luke. She is also a very nimble and skilled hand-to-hand fighter, as seen in Last Specter and Eternal Diva .

Professor Layton

Finch wore a dark blue jacket over a red shirt with white pants and brown shoes. He also wore a blue hat with a yellow band.

Personality [ ]

Professor Layton

Flick is a short, young-looking man with ginger hair, round glasses with red frames that conceal his eyes, and large front teeth. He wears a light grey top with a dark green  sweater vest over it, dark red trousers, and brown shoes. In his hand, he holds a silver coin.

Flick is much older than he looks, often lingering in the restaurant and challenging Layton with difficult puzzles.


Professor Layton

As a child, Flora wore a plain white dress with a little red ribbon on it, and either white shoes, which also had red ribbons or plain red shoes.
In Curious Village , she wears a white dress with red trimming, white gloves, red tights and black mary jane shoes. After the first game, Flora wears a coral dress with a red sash and white sleeves and trimming that goes down to her knees. She also wears gray almost-knee-high boots. She has also worn disguises in Curious Village and Diabolical Box , which do not differ that much from her orthodox look. Her disguises usually consist of a simple headscarf and glasses of some sort, making it so that if you've ever met her before, you can easily tell it's her; Flora herself, however, thinks that her disguises are spot on.
She has big black eyes and bright rosy cheeks. Her hair is always tied back in a ponytail with a red ribbon, with her bangs hanging in front, in a single curl. One defining characteristic is that when she is happy, an apple-shaped birthmark appears on her neck.

Flora is a sweet, curious individual. Unfortunately, this sometimes leads her into trouble, such as her kidnappings by Don Paolo in Diabolical Box and Clive in Unwound Future . Because she spent so many years in a village populated entirely by robots, she has difficulty relating to new people, and will often either hide from them or overshare details (as shown in Unwound Future ).
Flora is devotedly fond of both Professor Layton and Luke and gets very upset when they go away on investigations without her. Her relationship with Luke is mostly good-natured; they have a great time together at the fair in Dropstone during Diabolical Box , and she is very angry on both occasions when she gets kidnapped. The scenes in which they rescue her in Unwound Future make it very clear that they love her as much as she loves them.
Flora continued to travel together with Layton and Luke. Her Unwound Future profile in Western localizations notes her as a "protégé and devoted follower" of Layton. However, in the original Japanese version she is noted as "self-proclaimed Layton's bride candidate". In either way, she is very close to him and is visibly upset at being left behind, to the point she tries to follow him even if the situation is dangerous.
Flora is very fond of the residents of St. Mystere and did not want them to deactivate, as they had been caring for her all her life. In turn, the residents are very fond of Flora and were saddened by her departure.


Professor Layton

Franco is a large built man with dark hair, a dark brown moustache, and a red cap that covers his eyes. He wears a white sleeveless vest, blue shorts, white socks, and black shoes.

Franco comes across as gruff and blunt, unwilling to even allow Layton and Luke to enter at first. He speaks in a snide manner but is ultimately helpful and dedicated enough to his job.


Professor Layton

He has fair skin, with blue hair and his eyes appear to be black. He wears a sleeveless maroon jacket with a white undershirt and blue tie, brown trousers with blue shoes.


Professor Layton

The future Luke has essentially a grown-up version of his old outfit. He wears a navy blue cap, and similar shoes with blue socks under them. He wears a blue blazer and a tie.

Future Luke is similar yet rather different from his past self. Like him, he is a kind man, preoccupied by the fate of innocent people. But as he matured, he appears to be way more confident, more skeptical of those around him from growing up in the future London , and a bit arrogant, occasionally arguing with his younger self. He retained his genuine love of puzzles, and his friendship with his old tutor Professor Layton , though not having seen him for nearly 10 years.


Professor Layton

Garfunkel is a tall, thin man with dark grey hair and blue eyes. He wears a similar suit to his brother but in blue and has a gold hawk-shaped pin on his sleeve. When in disguise he wore dark sunglasses.  As a child he had straight, red hair and wore purple clothes.

Personality [ ]

Garfunkel is shown to be a very kind individual. Despite having a strained relationship with his brother, he cares about him deeply and did his best to reconcile with him.


Professor Layton

Gerard is an old, balding man with dark brown hair and a moustache. He wears a white shirt with one brown button visible, a red v-neck jumper, white trousers, and dark brown shoes.

Due to his age, Gerard is often quite forgetful and finds himself relying on others to help him whenever he loses something, which is suggested to be a frequent occurrence.


Professor Layton

Ghent is a big but stout man with fair skin and no hair on his head. He's got small beady eyes, a big nose a tone darker than his skin, black lips, and a dull blonde mustache that gives him a passing resemblance to a bear. He wears a light blue shirt, a dull yellow jacket with no lapels, and black pants.


Professor Layton

Gilbert was quite stout. He had orange-brown hair curling behind his ears, and a beard of the same color. He wore glasses, a white shirt with a yellow tie and a green waistcoat, and plain pants with a belt.

Just like his son, Gilbert had an appetite that occasionally dominated his police work. He was well respected by most of his colleagues.


Professor Layton

Giuseppe is a large man with light brown hair, moustache so long that it covers his face, and eyebrows so large that they conceal his eyes. He wears an orange sweater with a white apron, khaki trousers, dark brown boots, and a flat blue cap.

Giuseppe is a butcher who seems to take pride in both his meats and his puns. He is possibly the only person who finds his jokes funny, which seems to bother him to some degree, as seen when Layton and Luke uncomfortably walked away while he used puns to try to sell them some sausages.


Professor Layton

Gonzales wears a blue bow-tie with his waiter-like attire. He wears green shoes. He is bald other than a slight brown mustache.


Professor Layton

Gordon is a very large man with dark brown hair and a moustache. He wears a white shirt with a purple bow tie, an orange waistcoat, a purple jacket, light green trousers held up with a green belt, and brown shoes. He's often seen sweating due to stress and dabbing at his face with a pink handkerchief. He also wears a green bowler hat with a green flower on his left lapel.

Gordon is a man who is virtually always in a state of stress or panic, often due to fear of being condemned to perpetual bachelorhood over matters as trivial as being able to solve puzzles. Despite this, he still seems to care deeply about his family, as seen through his concern for Simon's safety.


Professor Layton

Mr. Sloanes is a tall and large man with tan skin, pointy ears, black hair with greying temples, a pencil-thin moustache, and a beard. He wears a light blue suit over a white shirt and a green necktie, as well as black shoes.

Professor Layton

Sniffer is a man of a medium height, around as tall as Lucy Baker . He has ginger, puffy hair that contributes to adding his height. He wears a bandana to keep his hair off his sight. He wears glasses and carries a sling bang around with two bottles and a ruler exposed. In the promo art, he can be seen carrying a magnifier.
He wears a beige-colored coat (a design quite similar to Alfendi Layton's labcoat) with light pastel blue colored sleeves, along with a buttoned vest and white shirt tucked inside, and a butterfly bow on the collar. He wears turquoise-colored pants and a pair of orange and white shoes.

Sniffer is a very straightforward man, as he is quick to get to the point and wastes no time getting his message across. As said by Alfendi, he has a good sense of smell and sharp instincts- his assumptions are proven correct most of the time-- with him predicting Dwight Dread's death correctly as evidence. However, his flaw is that he tends to get ahead of himself and is quick to accuse, as he threatened Dolly Hollerday if she does not check in with the Mystery Room detectives, he'll do a bodily check on her. He even insisted via telephone to Lucy that Dolly is guilty and they should "squeeze the canary until it squeals", implying that they should interrogate her until she confesses.


Professor Layton

Hans, a short man with light skin and reddish-brown hair, is the identical twin of Aleks Lipski . He wears glasses as well as clothing appropriate for his work as a serviceman.

Hans shares a strong bond with his brother Aleks.

Professor Layton

Henry wears a navy-blue blazer over a white shirt with a red tie. He wears red and brown pinstriped pants, and black shoes. As a teen, he wore a green shirt with white pants, with red suspenders and brown shoes.

He can be very cautious and suspicious of people, especially Professor Hershel Layton . He is also very busy and an incredibly diligent worker. But though he appears bitter and cold to strangers, he is actually a very kind and loyal person who thinks of others before himself. Henry tends to make a lot of tea and is very appreciative, possibly due to his upbringing as a servant.


Professor Layton

Layton's primary appearance in the franchise is that of a tall, fair-skinned, brown-haired man. His face is very simplistic in design: his eyes are black dots, like those of his mother ; his ears are round with no visible anatomy; and his nose is a simple bump, with its bridge being a single line. His most defining feature is his top hat , which is tall and brown with a red lint, and covers his thin eyebrows. He wears a brown coat with its collar upturned over a dark orange shirt, brown pants, and a pair of dark green shoes with white soles. Underneath his top hat, he has a somewhat messy hairstyle.
As a young child in the Azran Legacy flashbacks, Layton wore no hat, a brown and orange coat, a white shirt, a green tie and brown pants. His shoes are unseen.
In the Miracle Mask flashbacks, when he was 17, Layton wore no hat, a red waistcoat with a white shirt, and a blue tie. He wore dark green pants with brown shoes. His hair was in an afro-like style.
When he was 27, during the Unwound Future flashbacks, Layton wore a red vest and cap with a white shirt. Occasionally, he also wore a black suit jacket. Claire gave him the top hat that he wears today.
In New World of Steam , his appearance for the most part is unchanged, save for a few minor alterations: His ears now have visible anatomy; his shirt has a visible opening and seven white buttons, with the first two unfastened; he has a black belt with a white buckle; and his shoes are now completely black with visible laces.

Layton is an English gentleman. He is incredibly brave, intelligent and athletic, as shown in all the games. He is always calm and is polite to everyone he meets. While he is friendly, he is on the quiet side and is usually reserved in his emotions. Harboring a great love for tea, and an even greater love for puzzles, he is the ideal gentleman. He has strong logical skills, which come into play on a regular basis. He is able to keep his calm, even in the worst situations (as seen in The Last Specter , when he encourages Luke to keep a clear mind after Arianna Barde gets arrested).
However so, he acts completely out of character in Cheerful Mystery . He seems to stay cool and calm, as of his usual nature, but sometimes, when talking to Luke (who is also out of character), he gets angry and fierce, to the other's disbelief.
As well as being brave and heroic, Layton also has a soft side. Most of his mysteries are based on him trying to help people. This is best seen at the end of Unwound Future.


Professor Layton

As shown by the ending credits, prior to the events of Mystery Room, Hilda wore a purple-colored set of (white) collared shirt, purple suit with longer sleeves than her current attire and matching skirt with white heels. She was shown to have already worn the pocket watch that she put around her waist in the events of Mystery Room.
For the events of Mystery Room, Hilda wore a vertically striped shirt that consisted of two colors, purple and white with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows. Her skirt is also of a matching style, still with the two color, but diagonal stripes. Hilda also wears a blue coat  draped on her shoulders, but is never shown with her arm actually inside the sleeves, and the same pocket watch still around her waist. Although during the end credits she was shown to wear a different outfit, just like Justin, Hilda has already worn this attire during the Forbodium confrontation as seen on flashback images when the player investigates case 009. This puts Alfendi as the only one to have changed his attire completely.
Her hairstyle, before and during the game remained consistent, still the same side-swept long, wavy blonde hair.

Hilda made her first appearance on case 007, when Lucy first overheard her conversation with Alfendi, asking him to go and investigate an abandoned house along with Lucy. Hilda was shown to dislike people who attempt to tap into conversations unwanted, as evidenced by how she reprimanded Lucy Baker for attempting to do so. She is a quite stubborn and persistent woman and stands for what she believes and relies heavily on logic and evidence, contrary to Lucy who often uses her instincts and gut feeling. However, during case 009, she was shown to not always rely on concrete evidence, shown by her assuming that Alfendi held Keelan on gunpoint solely based on Justin's yelling, and later turned this assumption into evidence despite not knowing the truth. This was later proven highly fatal and was one of the key points that helped to exonerate Alfendi.
Hilda often puts work above other things, with her not hesistating to arrest Alfendi on the suspicions of murder despite being friends with him, as evidence. In other words, she doesn't let personal affairs get in the way of her job. Hilda is also the type of "guilty-until-proven-innocent" type of person.
Superficially, as in the words of Alfendi, Hilda might be seen as opiniated, stubborn, and a bit bossy at first glance, but there's a softer side to her as well. When she revealed to Lucy the truth of Alfendi's personality disorder, she was shown to care for Alfendi as she told Lucy that she and Justin worked tirelessly to prove Alfendi's innocence, even though they failed to do so.

She's quite nice to Beluga , as he pays her and the cabaret in very good sums. Beluga has a soft spot for her and buys a multitude of gifts for her. But, unbeknownst to Beluga, she cares nothing for these gifts and makes money on the side by selling them to Dawson .


Professor Layton

Ingrid is a short old woman with white hair, a long nose, and blue-framed glasses. Her outfit comprises of an orange top with a brown coat, orange trousers, brown shoes, and an orange hat.

Ingrid is a very friendly, caring woman, but often forgetful when it comes to things like names. It takes her several attempts to correctly recall Layton's name, for instance.
