Goro Akechi is an 18 year old, charismatic high school detective admired as the “Detective Prince,” known for his intellect and charm. Behind his refined image, he hides deep resentment as the illegitimate son of politician Masayoshi Shido, who abandoned him and caused his mother’s death. Akechi is both ally and betrayer to the Phantom Thieves, torn between ambition, revenge, and loneliness. Skilled, cunning, and two-faced, he masks bitterness beneath his polished exterior.
