Chuuta Tsubosaki (坪崎 忠太, Tsubosaki Chūta) is a client of the Narumi Detective Office. He was also secretly the Toadstool Dopant (トードストール・ドーパント, Tōdosutōru Dōpanto) who had obtained his Memory two years prior.
History[]
Chuuta is the 32-year-old son of a poor farming family in Hokkaido. A week before the case events, he moved to Futo to get a job at a company office so he could send money to support his family. Upon getting some cash his family scraped together in a carrying bag to buy furniture for his recently rented apartment, he saw a young girl. The girl claimed to be "hungry," and Chuuta thought she was beautiful. Sympathetically, he offered her some of his money, and she stole his bag with all his money. She tells Chuuta not to chase her as she is a witch and will curse him if he does.
When he tried to chase after her, she vanished, and he somehow ended up on a street corner miles from where he originally was and got lost. What was even weirder was that he came out of a street with a wall and to a dead-end near an apartment complex. Not sure of what just happened and somewhat fascinated and smitten with the thief, Chuuta heard from someone at work that the Narumi Detective Office specialized in investigating crimes involving strange phenomena. He came to them in the hopes of not only retrieving his stolen money but meeting the "witch" girl again and trying to convince her to reform. As such, he refused to go to Futo PD as they would immediately try to arrest her. He told them to find the "witch," and the office began the investigation, promising not to inform the police until they found her and give her a chance to do the right thing. Later at the coffee shop of the Shiroganes, he is told by Shotaro Hidari that Futo PD has had reports of violent killings in the area where Tokime is, making her a potential murder suspect.
Despite the potential danger of Tokime being a murderer, Chuuta is head over heels in love with her and wants to give her a chance to reform. He insists that Shotaro do whatever he can to find her and will accompany Shotaro when he sees her, wishing to be notified when she is found.
After Shotaro deduces where Tokime is, Chuuta accompanies him the following day. After an awkward moment of seeing her bathe naked in the city park fountain, Chuuta tries to convince her to give back the bag and keep the money if she promises to stop mugging and thieving. She shows both Chuuta and Shotaro she has a Gaia Memory, and the two chase after her and end up in a weird dimension resembling Futo. Something attacks them, and Shotaro tries to keep him out of harm's way. Chuuta then hides behind a dumpster and witnesses Philip saving Shotaro from an energy attack.

Later it turns out that this is not the first time he has gone to Futo. It also reveals that he moved to Futo only because he wanted to buy the Gaia Memory he used two years ago. And the Gaia Memory is inside the stolen bag. That is the reason he hired Shotaro but did not call the police. After that, Shotaro tells him to give up using his Gaia Memory, but he refuses; Chuuta is later arrested by the police.
