The world's greatest detective, and a key ally to Ryuunosuke throughout DGS.

Personality: Unlike many adaptations of Holmes, DGS' leans on the "eccentric" part of "eccentric genius"; he's dramatic, prone to jumping to conclusions, and seems to follow a logic unlike anyone else. But that doesn't change the fact he has legendarily sharp skills of observation and a strong intuition, as well as the confidence to do as he pleases in order to solve a case. And though he may seem insensitive or unable to read a situation from time to time, he also has a surprising depth of emotional knowledge and cares deeply for his friends.

Misc Facts: Holmes is of course an adaptation of Arthur Conan Doyle's famous detective, given an Ace Attorney twist.

Holmes and the idea of "joint reasoning" had been knocking around in Takumi's brain as far back as the original trilogy; as such, when the Capcom executives asked him to make a "new" AA game, he decided to pull Holmes out of mothballs and give it a shot. To his surprise, the game was accepted, and development began, with Holmes' dramatic movements and rapid-fire reasoning shaping the style of the game.

Friends and Family: Roommate, partner, and friend of Iris Watson.
