As Dodome reminded, today is the fifth anniversary of Hisashi Nozawa's apparent suicide.
Despite having no exposure to any of Nozawa's work besides The Phantom of Baker Street, the mere provision of a character that, after 6 years, 6 months and 20 days, is still exerting influence of my psyche-- not to say I hold the opinion that he was Nozawa's proxy in PoBS-- means I need to pay some tribute to him.
Note: I do not object Dodome and that reader's saying Hiroki is moe-- I still consider Hiroki Sawada as the only person in Detective Conan who can be referred as a shouta and/or a bishounen in the stricter definition of the word. However, these factors' relevance with my ongoing thing with him is minor--I won't say they have nothing to do with it, but the issue of identity is a much, much more determining factor. After all, bishies come and go.
