Officer Futada was a police officer from Kurôzu-Cho in the movie. He does not appear in the manga at all.
Appearance[]
Futada was a tall middle-aged man with nearly shaven hair and some wrinkles from age. He had narrow brown eyes, and was usually shown making an angry or bored expression.
Personality[]
As Kurôzu-Cho was such a poor and uneventful town, Futada was often bored and thus forced to vigorously reinforce usually insignificant laws, such as certain bikes being meant only for one person and not two under any circumstances, to busy himself. He did so quite passionately, yelling at Shuichi and calling him an idiot for disobeying. This could also be because he simply didn't like Shuichi.
Plot[]
As a very minor character, Futada did not get much screen time. During this time, he was shown yelling and gesturing at Shuichi for riding his bike the wrong way. In one scene, he is shown gazing bewilderedly at a wanted poster of Junji Ito.
