===History===
Kiku got to know Ron Kamonohashi because he attended the same school as his son.
Because Ron isolated himself in his apartment after the Bloody Field Trip Case, Kiku decided to look after him. Over the years, he sent many young officers, who hoped to become Ron's partner, to him, but Ron rejected them all. Kiku also gifted Ron a cat to keep him company.
===Metropolitan Serial Drownings Case===
When Totomaru Isshiki is told to go home while the rest of the Metropolitan Police's investigative team keeps working on the Metropolitan Serial Drownings Case, he goes to talk to Kiku instead. Kiku tells Totomaru that he needs to get results if he wants to stay in the investigative team. He reminds him of his past mishaps and adds that he is not suited for detective work.
Toto says that cannot stand not doing anything while there is a serial killer terrorizing the city. Kiku then refers him to a certain private detective who may be able to solve the case. However, Kiku emphasizes that this detective is not a "normal" detective and has a "crazy" personality before he gives Totomaru a photograph and sends him to the Maison du Kamonohashi.
Later, Kiku sees Toto and Ron catching the serial killer and smiles.
