Mr. Moto
Gender: Male
He introduces himself as I.A. Moto, but that is certainly not his name: he is a secret agent of the Japanese emperor, and is called only Mr. Moto. He is a highly educated, aristocratic judo master, is small and with a "typically Japanese" appearance. He rarely investigates cases, but helps others (mainly Americans) solve them, according to American author John P. Marquand.
