Susato Mikotoba was a judicial assistant who lived in Japan during the Meiji period[3]. Primarily, she assisted and traveled with the fledgling defense attorney Ryūnosuke Naruhodō. She was an especially bright young woman with an interest in law and literature.
First encounter with Naruhodō
- Main article: The Adventure of the Great Departure
Susato Mikotoba first appeared to Ryūnosuke Naruhodō alongside her father, Yūjin Mikotoba, when Naruhodō was arrested for the murder of John Watson. Yūjin had told Kazuma Asōgi, who was the attorney for the case at the time, to visit the Judge, as Asōgi's application for a change of defense attorney was relatively sudden and caused some disarray. Susato accompanied Asōgi to the Judge's chambers.
Susato later reappeared when detective Satoru Hosonaga stated that there was no poison found in the bottle of carbonated water Watson had drunk. She rushed into the courtroom, and before she could be thrown out, she gave Asōgi and Naruhodō the research notes of Jezail Brett, an exchange student of Watson's who was testifying as a witness. They requested to look at the notes after finding out that Brett was researching a poison called curare that Japan had not yet discovered. Due to this vital piece of evidence, 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 she was never to tell anyone about what she saw.
The S.S. Alaclaire
- 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 of 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.
Meeting Sherlock Holmes with Naruhodō.
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 ecstatic 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.

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 stood in court under the pseudonym, "Ryūtarō Naruhodō", to act as her defense attorney.
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.
- Susato is the third playable female (though posing as a man) attorney in the series, following Mia Fey and Athena Cykes.
