Ringo Skulkin was an "average Joe" living in London during Ryunosuke Naruhodo's time in the city.
Early Life[]

The brother witnesses[]
- Main article: The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story
Nash and Ringo Skulkin, criminal brothers who like pears and apples, respectively. The Skulkin Brothers testify that they snuck into the pawn shop intending to burglarize it. They then stumbled onto the murder and were arrested as suspects. According to them, something drove the brothers to enter the shop. They heard a gunshot behind the vault door that was locked from the inside. The Skulkin Brothers said when they snuck in the pawn shop Pop Windibank suddenly appeared. He then yelled and leaped at them. Ringo was thrown up against the counter as Windibank was stronger than he looked. According to them, they pointed the gun at him and he ran past the door. Thus, because Windibank was the one who locked the door from the back, the Skulkin Brothers could not have committed the crime as a result.
Name[]
- Japanese - Tarry Tinpillar (タリー・ティンピラー, Tarī Tinpirā):
- His Japanese name "Tarry" (タリー) comes from the Japanese word "Darui" (だるい), meaning "tiresome".
- His Japanese surname "Tinpiller" (ティンピラー) comes from the Japanese word "chinpira" (チンピラ), meaning "hoodlum".
- English - Ringo Skulkin:
- His English name "Ringo" is the Japanese word for apple, referencing his head shape, red clothes, and love of apples.
- His English surname "Skulkin" is a play on "skulking", and may reference his skull-shaped pin and the skull on the back of his jacket as well.
Development[]
The designs of Ringo and Nash are themed based on an apple and a pear. This may be a reference to a famous phrase of Cockney rhyming slang, a form of slang used by residents of the East End. "Apples and pears" means "stairs". The theming is even more obvious in early designs. The brothers are also frequently compared to Mario and Luigi due to various factors such as the similar colour schemes, and Ringo being the shorter and older of the two while having a more rounded, circular mustache.
