Susato Mikotoba first appeared to [[Ryūnosuke Naruhodō]] with [[Yūjin Mikotoba|Yūjin]] when Naruhodō got arrested for the murder of [[John Watson]]. Yūjin told [[Kazuma Asōgi]] to go see the judge in his chambers, since Asōgi sent an application for a change of the defense attorney fairly recently, that it caused some disarray. Susato accompanied Asōgi to the Judge's chambers.

Before she could be thrown out of the courtroom, she gave Asōgi and Naruhodō the research notes of [[Jezail Brett]], an exchange student of Watson's who was also a witness. They requested to look at the notes after finding out that Brett was researching a poison called curare that [[Japan]] had no current methods to detect.

When Borschevic reasoned that the attorney was about to call the sailor and that she would have been exposed, Susato disagreed with her, believing that Asōgi was going to introduce her to Naruhodō as a fellow stowaway. After Borschevic was arrested, Susato and Naruhodō were informed by Hosonaga that they had to return to Japan as there was no longer an attorney to travel to London.

If it's legal knowledge you need, just leave it to me!
Tokyo Game Show 2014 trailer

Susato Mikotoba was a judicial assistant who lived in Japan during the Meiji period.[3] She has something of a sweet tooth and enjoys reading law books.

First encounters with Naruhodō

Main article: The Adventure of the Great Departure

Susato Mikotoba first appeared to Ryūnosuke Naruhodō with Yūjin when Naruhodō got arrested for the murder of John Watson. Yūjin told Kazuma Asōgi to go see the judge in his chambers, since Asōgi sent an application for a change of the defense attorney fairly recently, that it caused some disarray. Susato accompanied Asōgi to the Judge's chambers.

She later appeared when detective Satoru Hosonaga stated that no poison was found in the bottle of carbonated water Watson had. Before she could be thrown out of the courtroom, she gave Asōgi and Naruhodō the research notes of Jezail Brett, an exchange student of Watson's who was also a witness. They requested to look at the notes after finding out that Brett was researching a poison called curare that Japan had no current methods to detect. Eventually, Jezail Brett was revealed to be the true killer of John Watson.

Before getting ready to accompany Asōgi for his trip abroad in England, Susato cleaned out her father's office. She saw a box with that said "Hound of the Baskervilles" on it, but when her father arrived he told her never to tell anyone about what she saw.

Main article: The Adventure of the Unbreakable Speckled Band

Susato later accompanied Asōgi on the S.S. Alaclaire to London for his study abroad so she could practice being a judicial assistant. But half a month into their voyage, Asōgi was somehow killed. Susato was angry when Naruhodō was discovered inside Asōgi's closet and accused him for murdering his friend. When the stowaway begged to plead his case and prove his innocence, she agreed under the condition that she would keep a close eye on him.

Eventually, the two met Sherlock Holmes, whom Susato recognized as the star of the short stories in Great Britain's Strand magazine. She was very estatic to meet the Great Detective as she was an avid fan of the short stories. But when Holmes conducted his first deduction about Grimesby Roylott and was drastically off, Susato prompted Naruhodō to correct the detective's mistakes, which led to the revelation that Roylott was actually a runaway ballerina, Nikomina Borschevic. Later, after Holmes made another wrong deduction, this time on Borschevic's missing pet snake, Susato quickly pointed out the flaws, which led to her encouraging Naruhodō to help the detective again and found that Borschevic was missing her cat. In the end, it was discovered that the ballerina was Asōgi's true killer. When Borschevic reasoned that the attorney was about to call the sailor and that she would have been exposed, Susato disagreed with her, believing that Asōgi was going to introduce her to Naruhodō as a fellow stowaway. After Borschevic was arrested, Susato and Naruhodō were informed by Hosonaga that they had to return to Japan as there was no longer an attorney to travel to London. When Naruhodō volunteered to take Asōgi's place, Susato decided to help him study British law as much as he could before their arrival.

Unbeknownst to Susato and Naruhodō, Asōgi was still alive but had lost his memories, and Holmes had faked his death to send him back to Japan but to no avail.

Defending a fellow Japanese

Main article: The Adventure of the Clouded Kokoro and The Memoirs of the Clouded Kokoro

Return to Japan

Main article: The Adventure of the Unspeakable Story

Acting Defense Attorney

Main article: The Adventure of the Blossoming Attorney

When Susato returned to Japan, she found out that her dear friend Haori Murasame was accused of murdering Jezail Brett. Wanting to help her friend, Susato decided to pretend to be Ryūtarō Naruhodō, Ryūnosuke's cousin.

Return to England

Main article: The Return of the Great Departed Soul

Personality

On default circumstances, Susato would have the personality similar to a typical Yamato Nadeshiko. However, as Susato finds herself slowly growing closer to other people, she would begin to assume a much more cutesy and casual way of speaking, which includes her speaking in third person. She also has a fondness for reading and likes to learn, and is highly intelligent. However when she is suspicious, she does not let her personal feelings rule over her train of thought, hence still suspecting Naruhodo in The Adventure of the Unbreakable Speckled Band. Susato is also shown to be quite strong in a physical sense, having performed several "Susato Throw"s and "Susato Drop"s on Ryūnosuke Naruhodō.

Development

Susato Mikotoba is designed around the yamato nadeshiko archetype, with a somewhat believable, but ultimately impossible, hairstyle. Overall, her design is fairly subdued to contrast with Sherlock Holmes and Iris Watson.[4] It can also be noted that her outfit draws inspiration from the typical Meiji period jōgakusei image, which consisted of mainly a kimono, hakama, and boots.
