Hajime Kindaichi is the picture of a typical underperforming high-school student; an unmotivated, perverted slacker and troublemaker with poor grades in his classes, a terrible aptitude for sports, and has gained the reputation amongst his peers as something of a class clown. However, behind this exterior is a brilliant mind with an IQ of 180, further honed through the stories and teachings of his grandfather, to whom he also inherits his instinct as well as his inner sense of justice - the legendary GreatDetective, Kosuke Kindaichi.

** The Phantom of the Opera is not the only Gaston Leroux work to be homaged - the killer suddenly inexplicably vanishing as he is approached in multiple sides on a turn on a corridor is an impossibility taken directly from Leroux's ''The Mystery of the Yellow Room''.

Given the fact that the opera house is on an island surrounded by cliffs, even falling into water is not guaranteed to ensure survival. Kindaichi, however, deduces that the culprit merely tossed the costume out of the window in an attempt to pretend to be dead.

* RightBehindMe: PlayedForLaughs. Late in the case, Kindaichi gets Miyuki to help him test the effect of sound system communication access, with the curtain up or down on stage. The communication between them is completely fine with the curtain up, but the access actually gets blocked off with the curtain down, resulting in Miyuki returning to the sound room, where Kindaichi is. Since Kindaichi can't see or hear Miyuki because of the curtain, he assumes she's still on stage and starts teasing her, right up until Miyuki answers his question right behind him.
