## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Officer_Tome&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Tome and the Tokyo police.
Tome is a senior member of the [Tokyo Metropolitan Police](/wiki/Tokyo_Metropolitan_Police "Tokyo Metropolitan Police") CSI. He is often seen investigating alongside a young [female assistant](/wiki/Female_forensics_member "Female forensics member") and other forensics officers at the crime scene during cases where [Megure](/wiki/Juzo_Megure "Juzo Megure") is the chief inspector, who has close trust in them. He is a senior crime scene investigator, which is the highest achievable rank in forensic police. He is notorious for his always precise details and will be asked more questions than other forensics officers by the police. He is one of the few veterans of the forensics police and knows a lot of old tricks to take clues, like one that he taught to [Takagi](/wiki/Wataru_Takagi "Wataru Takagi").[](#cite_note-4)
## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Officer_Tome&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Personality")]
Very serious and passionate with his work, he is nonetheless a kind and friendly person. Like many other policemen, he listens to what [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") has to say, although the boy sometimes says something like: "[Mouri](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri") wants you to check up on this", or "Mouri asks if this was found". This is to ask him about forensic evidence he has collected, and Tome is often happy to answer. A good investigator appreciated by all, he can do his job well, so much to boast with Conan to not omit anything. His favorite is [Edogawa Rampo](/wiki/Edogawa_Rampo "Edogawa Rampo")'s *The Boys Detective Club* series.[](#cite_note-Ep187-5) He likes Double Soda and Milk Bar.[](#cite_note-6)
## Appearance[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Officer_Tome&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Appearance")]
He is a seemingly older man, wears glasses and has black eyes and dark hair that are always covered by a blue cap. He usually wears a blue forensic uniform in his work and always wears essential gloves for his investigations.
## Plot overview[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Officer_Tome&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Plot overview")]
He appears multiple times in both the TV series and the movies. He is used as the main forensics officer in many cases and gives clues to the main characters and the other law enforcers. However, he stopped appearing after his main voice actor underwent surgery and later died.
