About Fuuto PI

Meet Fuuto PI (風都探偵), an action, drama and mystery anime by Studio KAI (2022). Here is the premise in a nutshell. What the story covers: In the ecologically-minded metropolis of Fuuto, unexplained devices resembling USB flash drives called Gaia Memories are used by criminals and other interested parties to become monsters called Dopants. To make matters worse, the Gaia Memories carry a risky toxin that cause their users to go insane to the point where they could die from the life-threatening devices.

Further in, after the death of his boss, the self-proclaimed hard-boiled detective Shoutaro Hidari works with the unexplained Philip to investigate crimes which involve Dopants. Using their own Gaia Memories, Shoutaro and Philip use the Double Driver belts to transform and combine into Kamen Rider Double to struggle the Dopant menace and keep Fuuto safe. Note: An anime project commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Kamen Rider's debut.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Narrator (Fumihiko Tachiki) and Shoutarou Hidari (Yoshimasa Hosoya) are two of the characters you will meet early. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
