In 2007, Crane's photojournalist boyfriend [[Jack Cameron]] was investigating the illegal activities of Chief Prosecutor [[Blaise Debeste]]. On February 10, Cameron followed one of his leads and stumbled onto what appeared to be the [[SS-5 Incident|kidnapping]] of [[Di-Jun Huang]], the president of [[Zheng Fa]]. Cameron called Crane, but he couldn't reach her, so instead left her a voice mail. However, while recording his message, he was struck dead from behind. To get to the bottom of Cameron's murder, Crane took on the defense of [[Patricia Roland]], the only suspect, against Debeste, and Roland was acquitted. Although the murder case and kidnapping were left unsolved, Crane suspected Debeste's involvement, and wanted revenge.

When Debeste became the Chair of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee, Crane also became a member to get close to him and find a way to bring him down. Crane's friend, a judge named [[Justine Courtney]], also became a member to help Crane in her quest. In the meantime, Crane continued to take on clients as a defense attorney. She once again agreed to defend [[Patricia Roland]] in court after the latter was accused of [[The Imprisoned Turnabout|murder]] in 2019, but Crane would ultimately never live to see the trial. Courtney eventually became one of Debeste's most trusted people.
==Background==
 
In 2007, Kagome and her boyfriend, the photojournalist [[Ryūji Kamei]], were investigating the illegal activities of [[Bansai Ichiyanagi]], a corrupt prosecutor. On February 10, Kamei followed one of his leads and found out that Ichiyanagi was connected to the [[SS-5 Incident|kidnapping]] of [[Teikun Ō]], the president of [[Zheng Fa]]. Kamei called Kagome, but he couldn't reach her so he left behind voice mail. However, during the recording, he was killed from behind by Ichiyanagi. The murder case was left unsolved, Kagome suspected Ichiyanagi's involvement ever since then and she wanted revenge.

==Confrontation and death==
In 2019, she became a member of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee. She was also supposed to defend [[Marī Miwa]] in trial when she was accused of [[The Imprisoned Turnabout|murder]]. She was replaced by [[Tateyuki Shigaraki|Shigaraki]] since he was the only attorney able to take over on such a short notice.

Crane began receiving letters from a helpful [[Simon Keyes|stranger]] who fed Crane information on Debeste, and eventually Crane decided to act. She found out about Debeste's illegal auctioning of evidence from past cases, all of which was gathered in a hidden storage area above the Committee's meeting room. On April 4th, 2019, Crane entered the auction; all the participants wore masks equipped with voice-changers to hide their identities.

Crane won a bid for one of the items, and followed Debeste to the storage room to collect her winnings. With the two of them now alone, Crane confronted Debeste, telling him that she knew who he was from the burn mark on his face. However, unbeknownst to Crane, the stranger had informed Debeste of Crane's intent to kill him, allowing him to be ready for her. He struck her over the head with the auction gavel, mortally wounding her.
==Death==
 
After receiving letters from a helpful [[Sōta Sarushiro|stranger]], who told her that Ichiyanagi was the killer, Kagome decided to act on April 4th. She took part in Ichiyanagi's illegal action where he was selling evidence from past cases which were gathered in the hidden storage room above the Committe's deliberation room. She pretended to be one of the customers, wearing a voice-changing mask. She had hoped to kill him, to finally get her revenge. Around midnight, Kagome confronted Ichiyanagi in private, in the middle of the auction. However, she was unaware that the stranger notified Ichiyianagi too, so he was prepared for her. He tried to kill her straight away in the evidence storage area, hitting her over the head with the auction hammer. Ironically, she ended up just like her boyfriend, both dying from head injuries caused by a blunt object.
 
   
  +
In order to conceal his crime, Debeste gave Crane's clothing and mask to an accomplice, [[Karin Jenson]], to replace Crane at the auction so that no one would notice that one of the bidders was missing. Crane was hidden inside a costume trunk as Debeste continued the auction, and Jenson covered Crane with a red raincoat. However, after Debeste and Jenson returned to the auction, Crane managed to escape and climb the ladder to the top of the tower, but soon collapsed and died.
[[File:Kagomescorpse.png|thumb|left|Her dead body.]]
 
Ichiyanagi then had to get rid of her corpse. He forced [[Tōko Mutō]] to be his accomplice. He had Mutō hide herself in a trunk in the evidence storage area. Ichiyanagi brought Kagome's corpse there and stashed it in the trunk. Mutō took her clothes, the voice-changing mask and a wig to disguise herself as Kagome, so that no one would notice a customer was missing. Ichiyanagi then gave her his own clothes, a white jacket and a purple flower corsage, to implicate her as the auction master. He then stabbed her with a three-pronged candlestick that was among the evidence in the room and brought her body down the elevator to the deliberation room below. There, he made sure to take out the candelabra so that most of the blood loss would occur there to make it look like she died there. He left her body lying on the Committee desk and the candlestick nearby. Later, Mutō deliberately swapped the cause of death when her [[Otome Itami|grandmother]] was called to make an autopsy record and identify the victim.
 
   
  +
Meanwhile, Jenson won the costume trunk and she and Debeste returned to the storage room to discover the unconscious [[Kay Faraday]], who had fallen into the storage room in shock after discovering Crane's body. Seeing letters on Faraday and Crane addressed to each other, Debeste decided to pin the murder on Faraday to get rid of what he believed was a duo out to get him. He dressed Crane's body with his auctioneer's clothes, and then stabbed the corpse with a candelabra that was among the evidence in the room. Both Faraday and Crane were locked in the costume trunk until the auction was finished.
Unbeknownst to Ichiyanagi, the stranger from before put [[Kay Faraday]]'s promise notebook next to Kagome. He also left behind the letter, putting it in her left breast pocket. The letter was signed with Faraday's name. The mastermind did all this knowing that [[Miles Edgeworth]] would defend Faraday and reveal the true criminal in the process.
 
  +
  +
Debeste then brought the body down the elevator that connected the storage and meeting rooms. It was there that he removed the candelabra so that the resulting blood loss would make it appear as if she had died in that room. He then laid Crane's body on the Committee desk, and left the candelabra nearby. Jenson would later change the cause of death in [[Bonnie Young]]'s autopsy report.
  +
  +
Debeste left Faraday's promise notebook next to Crane and placed one of the letters in her left breast pocket, unaware that the latter was actually a forgery created by [[Simon Keyes|the man who had played both sides and left Faraday at the scene]]. The mastermind did all this knowing that [[Miles Edgeworth]] would defend Faraday and reveal the true criminal in the process. Crane's death left Patricia Roland's trial without a defense attorney, and so [[Raymond Shields]] took over her role as the only one able to do so at such short notice. Edgeworth went on to uncover Debeste's actions during the [[SS-5 Incident]], as well as the identity of the mastermind whose schemes had led to Crane's death.

Cameron's corpse.

In 2007, Crane's photojournalist boyfriend Jack Cameron was investigating the illegal activities of Chief Prosecutor Blaise Debeste. On February 10, Cameron followed one of his leads and stumbled onto what appeared to be the kidnapping of Di-Jun Huang, the president of Zheng Fa. Cameron called Crane, but he couldn't reach her, so instead left her a voice mail. However, while recording his message, he was struck dead from behind. To get to the bottom of Cameron's murder, Crane took on the defense of Patricia Roland, the only suspect, against Debeste, and Roland was acquitted. Although the murder case and kidnapping were left unsolved, Crane suspected Debeste's involvement, and wanted revenge.

When Debeste became the Chair of the Prosecutorial Investigation Committee, Crane also became a member to get close to him and find a way to bring him down. Crane's friend, a judge named Justine Courtney, also became a member to help Crane in her quest. In the meantime, Crane continued to take on clients as a defense attorney. She once again agreed to defend Patricia Roland in court after the latter was accused of murder in 2019, but Crane would ultimately never live to see the trial. Courtney eventually became one of Debeste's most trusted people.

  • Her given name in Japanese "Tsubasa" (つばさ) means "wings", while her full name could be a play on the Japanese phrase "kago no naka no tori" (籠の中の鳥), which means "a bird in a cage". Along with her surname "Kagome" (籠目), all of these are likely references to the traditional Japanese children's game Kagome Kagome, of which "a bird in a cage" is one of the lines. This is backed up by her boyfriend's surname "Kamei" (亀井) containing the kanji for turtle (亀), which is also mentioned in Kagome Kagome.
  • Her English name in the fan translation of Gyakuten Kenji 2 is "Jill Crane", which is likely meant to have a similar meaning to her Japanese given name. "Jill" may be intended to harken back to Kagome Kagome by referring to the nursery rhyme Jack and Jill (backed by Kamei's given name being changed to "Jack"). The surname "Crane" more directly links back to Kagome Kagome, where the crane is mentioned alongside the turtle.
