Romein LeTouse.

Three months before his death, LeTouse was investigating a case of Borginian cocoon smuggling, which lead him to Lamiroir. Suspecting that Lamiroir or her piano accompaniment, Machi Tobaye, was involved in the smuggling, he offered to become Lamiroir's manager. Later, they met Klavier Gavin, who was moved by Lamiroir's singing and asked her to come to America as a special feature of one of his concerts with his band, the Gavinners. The two composed a song together, and LeTouse came up with the name The Guitar's Serenade for the song.

During the concert, when Gavin and Lamiroir were singing their duet, LeTouse confronted the client who wanted the cocoon, the Gavinners' second guitarist Daryan Crescend, in Lamiroir's dressing room. Crescend managed to steal LeTouse's .45-caliber revolver and shoot LeTouse in the shoulder. He then left to perform in the concert and to set up his alibi. However, due to a magic trick being used during the duet, Lamiroir was in the air ducts near the room and had heard the killer's voice.

Defense attorney Apollo Justice and Detective Ema Skye later found LeTouse, who was now dying due to blood loss. LeTouse told him that the "siren", Lamiroir, was the key to solving the case before dying. Tobaye was accused of the murder, and Justice came to his defense. Indeed, Lamiroir recognized Crescend who, as a detective, had been assigned to the investigation of the death. Justice was able to prove that Lamiroir's testimony against Crescend was valid. He also convinced Tobaye to admit to his involvement in the smuggling, which would seal Crescend's fate; Tobaye would have been sentenced to death for his crime in Borginia while he could avoid such a punishment in America.

Name

LeTouse's mugshot.

• The Japanese name comes from "romaine Lettuce". Shu Takumi happened to see romaine lettuce listed in a recipe when coming up with the bodyguard's name.

• Other language versions use a corrupted spelling of romaine lettuce to form their names.

Development

• The circumstances behind LeTouse's death seem to be largely repeated later in the series with Akbey Hicks in Turnabout Airlines. Both are murdered Interpol agents whose identities as agents investigators didn't discover for a while after the discoveries of their bodies.
