ABOUT Anko Uguisu / 01—06

01First appearance and background

Anko’s early appearance is collected in manga volume 4, published in Japan in 2020; Kotoyama’s series began in 2019. Ko meets the self-described detective while finding customers for Nazuna’s sleep-companion business. She says she is looking for Akihito Akiyama. Her approach has a purpose, bringing investigation and uncertainty into the story’s contemporary Japanese nights.

02Personality and appeal

Her appeal lies partly in how hard she is to read during an ordinary conversation. The 2022 official introduction withholds her reason for approaching Ko. In the accompanying comment, Miyuki Sawashiro describes searching the script for where Anko’s genuine feelings lie. That is the performer’s perspective. Even when she joins a conversation, it is hard to tell how much she is willing to reveal.

03Story journey

[Spoilers: manga volumes 6 and 9; anime season 2] Anko’s pursuit and knowledge of weaknesses tied to vampires’ human lives send Nazuna’s circle searching through their pasts. On Halloween, investigation becomes open confrontation: she attacks Niko amid the crowd and targets other vampires. Her actions make it difficult for Ko to imagine transformation simply as an extension of carefree nights.

04Relationships

[Identity and backstory spoilers] Anko Uguisu is her detective alias; her real name is Kyoko Mejiro. Season 2 looks back ten years to her school-age friendship with Nazuna and their amateur investigation of her father’s suspected affair. Their present conflict therefore involves earlier trust. Ko is the person she approaches in the present, while Akihito is the subject of her initial search.

05Versions and visual identity

The manga was adapted by LIDENFILMS into TV seasons released in 2022 and 2025, with Miyuki Sawashiro voicing Anko. The adult detective design has brown hair tied low behind her head, loose face-framing strands, dark round glasses, a beige double-breasted trench coat, dark high-neck top and skirt, partially fingerless gloves and brown ankle boots. School-age flashbacks depict an earlier life stage and a separate wardrobe. Page illustrations are unofficial AI-generated fan art based on the anime design.

06Fan interpretations

Original fan reading for this entry: Anko reads the night as if it were a case. A street that offers Ko unfamiliar freedom can look to her like a set of clues demanding further questions. Glasses and a trench coat supply a recognizable detective silhouette, yet her judgments also invite scrutiny. This reading asks who gets to interpret the night; it does not treat her position as the story’s sole answer.
