Profile
Kazato, 36 years of age, is the private eye of the SCI, and was assigned to be one of the two partners in the player's Syleria murder investigations. He has brown hair and brown eyes. He sports a neat detective's clothes which consists of a teal coat with one breast pocket and dark blue tie and black office trousers.

Notable Events
In the introduction of the the first case of Syleria, Chief Yumi Torakawa welcomed the player to the Syleria Crime Investigation Force and introduced herself. She then notified the player that Kazato Chihara and Haruko Hanami were assigned to be the player's partners in the investigations, and continued that Haruko is still in private training, implying that Haruko is inexperienced. The Chief then called Kazato to greet with the player, only to start flirting with her. Because of this, the Chief introduces him instead and asked Kazato to take the player to go sightseeing. He departs with the player to Twilight Slopes as it is his favorite spot to go. Suddenly, they found a body near an isolated tree and begun their first murder investigation together.

Kazato, just like Haruko, can be chosen by the player in any crime scene when the player teams up with Kazato in any case of Syleria. He is available as a 1-hint level 10 partner when all of your teammates have been used up or when you just desire to choose him as your partner.
