Daikichi Furukawa

Daikichi Furukawa is a character from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Scales. A brilliant, but somewhat unmotivated military detective, his investigations into the attacks occurring in the skies of South-East Asia are a major focus in the first half of Part II.

Personality
More a thinker than a fighter, and preferring to live at a relaxed pace rather than being a go-getter, Daikichi has been described as a bore by his colleagues on more than one occasion. Somewhat anti-social, he constantly turns down offers by aforementioned colleagues to head into town for a fun night, claiming to want to sleep instead. Unfortunately, Daikichi is also a closet romanticist, and sometimes wonders when he'd find the perfect woman. He often voices these laments of his out loud, no matter who's in earshot. Unbeknown to him, this has actually earned him some attention from the ladies at work. Of course, it'd be some time before he actually notices this.

Loyal to those that have warranted his trust, his sluggish appearance belies a staggering amount of determination that only kicks in once a goal is placed firmly in sight. Most of the time, however, that goal only amounts to completing the work that's been given to him. In his own words, he may be "suffering from a lack of excitement" in his life. Despite this, Daikichi has been known to be turned off by wish-fulfilling fiction, preferring substance over enjoyment in any work instead. He is also possibly a pessimist, as is evident in his often tempting fate with a line or two.
