## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Detective_Saitoh&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Saitoh is a detective from the [Tokyo MPD](/wiki/Tokyo_Metropolitan_Police "Tokyo Metropolitan Police"), Division One Investigations, Section Three, cyber crimes unit.[](#cite_note-1) He loves [Sato](/wiki/Miwako_Sato "Miwako Sato") and is jealous of [Takagi](/wiki/Wataru_Takagi "Wataru Takagi"), often attempting to interrupt their dates along with several other officers. He has great respect for [Matsumoto](/wiki/Kiyonaga_Matsumoto "Kiyonaga Matsumoto") and [Kuroda](/wiki/Hyoue_Kuroda "Hyoue Kuroda"), and follows their orders conscientiously. He meets [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") in several cases and his great deduction impressed him only during Takagi's kidnapping, but Conan deflects suspicion off him by leaving all credit to [Shinichi](/wiki/Shinichi_Kudo "Shinichi Kudo") or [Agasa](/wiki/Hiroshi_Agasa "Hiroshi Agasa").[](#cite_note-2) Often times, when a huge case is closed, he likes to go drinking along with other officers that same night.[](#cite_note-3) He ate [Azusa](/wiki/Azusa_Enomoto "Azusa Enomoto")'s special pasta when came to Café Poirot on their stakeout, and said it was really delicious, so he's been coming here a lot recently.[](#cite_note-4)
