Tōko Mutō is a teaching hospital nurse that is always seen with Otome Itami, working as an assistant coroner since she's her granddaughter, first appearing in The Forgotten Turnabout.

Tsubasa Kagome's murder

 * Main article: The Forgotten Turnabout

Mutō took care of Kay Faraday after she tripped and fell from the Big Tower rooftop to the secret evidence room. She then brought her to Edgeworth's prosecutor office, since Faraday lost her memory and she had his business card.

Accomplice to the auction master
Like her grandmother before her, Mutō was forced by Bansai Ichiyanagi to be his accomplice. She did so because Ichiyanagi threatened to sue Itami for her involvement in IS-7. She was supposed to hide in the box in the evidence room on the opposite side of Lotta Hart, before the auction began. Since she had similar eyes, she took Kagome's clothes and put her in the chest. She then donned one of the voice-changing masks and pretended to be one of the 11 customers.

When the case was resolved and Faraday regained her memories, Mutō gave her back her original clothes, revealing that the abundant bandages were just a precaution and that her injuries weren't that bad.

Personality
Mutō is gloomy, insensitive, and depressing. She dislikes her family and she often disregards the safety of her patients. She likes to give injections to people who say they're ill. She speaks for Itami and occasionally slaps her on the bun when stressed, while Itami hits her with her cane. During her breakdown she slaps Itami's hair so much that they explode. She was also willing to do anything to keep her grandmother's involvement in IS-7 from becoming public, so when Ichiyanagi threatened her into being his murder accomplice, she had no choice but to comply.
