Anaido

**Brilliant Detective Anaido** is the persona adopted by Tamotsu Fukuda whenever he enters an id well and one of the protagonists of *ID:INVADED*. He is the second "brilliant detective", who was created as a possible substitute for Sakaido and Akihito Narihisago, and would go on to play a key role in the "John Walker" case.

After Fukuda is rendered comatose in **FILE: 12 Channeled**, Anaido ceased to be used on a regular basis.

## Appearance

Anaido appears as what is essentially a younger version of Fukuda, being a young man with long, spiked blue hair and chartreuse eyes, noticeably lacking Fukuda's scar and hole. He wears a blue trenchcoat with a red interior with the collar popped up, a white shirt with a chartreuse necktie, black trousers and red boots, as well as a pair of silver piercings on his left ear and three silver rings on each forefinger.

## Personality

Unlike the other brilliant detectives, Anaido is unique in that he retains all his memories as Fukuda, due to the latter's head injury affecting his brain patterns. Despite this, Anaido still displays a somewhat different personality, acting, as all brilliant detectives do, as a distillation of Fukuda himself.

Compared to Sakaido, Anaido is far less courteous about his work, preferring to just wander and figure things out as he does, disregarding concrete, fixed knowledge and analysis in favour of applying abstract symbolism and his own intuition, making his methods more inductive than deductive. While this theoretically means that Anaido could solve a case much faster than Sakaido or Miyo Hijiriido, his impatience and poor attention makes him far more likely to die, with Kura initially deeming him a failure.

In reality, though, Anaido's high mortality rate is actually due to his arithmomania, which flairs up as a result of his hole closing up. Because of this, combined with his natural intellect, he is compelled to count everything around him to torturous degrees, at one point counting grains of sand. This often results in him deliberately looking for ways to kill himself so he can return to his actual body.

Despite this, Anaido has still proven himself to be exceptionally talented and cunning, successfully hiding the fact that he could retain his memories from the Wellside. He was also able to solve Akihito Narihisago's id well before Sakaido and the Wellside and figured out the cause behind an id well's time dilation. Many of Fukuda's darker personality traits also carry over, morbidly suggesting that he and Sakaido cannibalise Kaeru's corpse to avoid dehydration, and revealing to Sakadio his identity as Narihisago without hesitation despite potentially dooming the both of them to wander his id well forever.

Interestingly, Anaido has shown a very quirky side, often using eccentric hand gestures and geeking over things like Sakaido's "coolness", generally coming across as more overtly friendly and approachable than Fukuda. However, certain habits still carry over, possibly due to the failed amnesia, such as his referring to Sakaido as "brother", mirroring Fukuda's habit with Narihisago, though Anaido does so more frequently.

## Trivia

* The surname **Anaido** means "hole, pit, mine, aperture, slit, cave, den" (穴) (**ana**), "well, mine shaft, pit" (井) (**i**) and "door" (戸) (**to**/**do**).
	+ Like the other brilliant detectives, Anaido's name is a reference to the id wells, containing both the kanji for "well" (井) and "id" when spelt in the Latin alphabet.
		- "Anaido" also contains "穴", the character for "hole", a reference to Tamotsu Fukuda's identity as the Perforator and his relation to holes.
* Anaido's design and habits appear to have been built around Fukuda's favorite number: "3" as he:
	+ Has three cuffs on his shirt and jacket sleeves.
	+ Has three lapels on his jacket front.
	+ Has three straps on his back.
	+ Has three rings on each of his forefingers.
	+ Performs many actions in sets of three, e.g pointing at people three times in succession, tapping his head three times, etcetera.
* At 190cm, Anaido and Fukuda are the tallest characters in the series.
