History

The Silver Case

Michiru Kosaka first appears in case#3:parade, as a subordinate of Daikichi Sakaguchi during the investigation into the kidnapping of Chairman Yukimura. He arrived after the meeting to show a video that had been sent by the kidnappers. He stated that the video confirmed that Yukimura was alive, but that nothing was revealed about their motive. At Snow Tower, he introduced himself to Tetsugoro Kusabi, Sumio Kodai and Akira, and said there was no news. He pointed out the Yukimura Zaibatsu boardmembers nearby, and their growing resentment towards the Chairman. Kosaka later contacted Kusabi, begging him to assist in the investigation. Kosaka went on to provide support for Akira during the diamond exchange with the kidnappers. After the incident Kosaka met with Kusabi at Precinct 24, thanking him and giving Sakaguchi's regards. He said that he began to understand the Heinous Crimes Unit's methods of disposal as a method of solving crimes, and pledged himself to finishing the investigation.

Early in 2000, Kosaka and Sakura Natsume spoke to Kusabi at Lounge Tamura to tell him about the death of Uminosuke Hachisuka and the return of Kamui. They left to the scene shortly after.
