Susato Mikotoba, judicial assistant to the defense.
~ Susato in "The Adventure Of The Great Departure"
There'll be time to talk later, Mr. Naruhodo. For now... we must concentrate on the task at hand.
~ Susato, reminding Naruhodo that he has to prove Harebrayne's innocence no matter what.

Susato Mikotoba is the deuteragonist of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles. She assisted Ryunosuke Naruhodo with many of his cases during his time in London after Kazuma Asogi's "death". While they were in London the two met Herlock Sholmes and Iris Wilson who Susato got along with very well although Naruhodo and Herlock were never more then just partners. When her friend Rei Membami is accused of murder later in the year, Susato disguised herself as an attorney to help her friend before she returned to London to assist Naruhodo.

She was voiced by Kana Hanazawa in the Japanese version and Rina Takasaki in the English localisation.

What Makes Her Pure Good?[]

  • She decided to deliver the curare research book to Ryunosuke and Kazuma Asogi when they needed it, which was a very important piece of evidence they needed to prove that Jezaille Brett had poisoned the victim instead of killing him with a gun and she did this despite women not being allowed in Japanese courtrooms except for being witnesses.
  • After she and Ryunosuke both prove that Nikolina was the culprit behind Kazuma's accidental murder, despite Susato telling her that she would have to carry the guilt of his murder for the rest of her life, neither she or Naruhodo held a grudge against her and just accepted that it was an accident despite Kazuma being Susato's brother and Ryunosuke's best friend and they both wanted her to be released after it was proved Kazuma didn't die.
  • Despite the fact McGilded was guilty, she didn't know about it so she saved him from being declared guilty by telling everyone that the summation examination had not been used for over a century but it was never voided which allowed Naruhodo to get a second chance and prove McGilded's innocence despite the fact neither of them knew he was truly guilty.
  • Despite Soseki getting a lot of hatred for seemingly assaulting a woman named Olive Green and also got accused for being a Japanese man, Naruhodo and Susato were the only ones who believed in his innocence till the end and despite the fact he was accused of another crime, they both still defended him in that one too as they still believed he was innocent.
  • After noticing Gina was gone, they decided to look for her after they heard a gunshot at the pawnshop and after they arrived, one of the burglars shot Sholmes so Susato tended to him to make sure he was ok and Naruhodo chased after the burglars. While he was out, Susato made a hole in the backdoor so she could see if Gina was inside and she noticed that she was but went back to making Sholmes was ok straight after.
  • After breaking the law by tampering with the crime scene, Susato felt great guilt over this and decided to throw her book about English law into the ocean as she considered herself unfit to be a judicial assistant until Naruhodo stopped her and informed her that her tampering with the crime scene was what saved Gina's life and made it possible for him to get the real culprit which Susato thanked him for as he saved her from making the wrong decision.
  • When her friend Rei Membami was accused of murder, no one would take her case due to the identity of the victim so despite women not being allowed in the courtroom and having no experience with being a defense attorney, Susato disguised herself as Naruhodo's fake cousin and acted as a defense attorney for her best friend, getting her a 'Not Guilty' and found out valuable information such as Asogi most likely surviving his accidental death on the ship and the real name of Jezaille Brett being Asa Shinn which would be very important evidence later on for Ryunosuke and her.
  • When Naruhodo was conflicted about whether to choose his client's life or his client's wishes, Susato then jumped in and made Naruhodo realize what he is fighting for, convincing Naruhodo that he needed to save his client's life no matter what.
  • She exposes Enoch Drebber and Courtney Sithe in court for the murder of Odie Asman and clears Albert Harebrayne's name alongside Naruhodo.
  • She and Naruhodo both decide to defend Barok after he is accused of murder despite his extreme racism towards the both of them as they believe he is innocent.
  • After Iris stole the autopsy report that they needed dearly, she forgave Iris after finding out she did it because she wanted to find out the real identity of her father.
  • When Herlock makes fun of Naruhodo for getting knocked out by Toby the dog, Susato stands up for Naruhodo and reprimands Herlock for being inconsiderate of his feelings.
  • When judge Jigoku admitted to use the student exchange as a cover for the assassination exchange, she was disgusted.
  • She helps Naruhodo solve "The Professor Killings", which revealed that Klint Van Zieks was the real professor, ending London's racism towards the Japanese as the professor was deemed to be the deceased, Genshin Asogi, who was a Japanese transfer student who was framed by Stronghart.
  • She is the one who figures out that Klint Van Zieks' will was inside Kazuma's samurai sword, which was the piece of evidence that finally exposed Mael Stronghart for the blackmailer he was and allowed him to be legally arrested by Queen Victoria.
  • She and Naruhodo played large roles in taking down Stronghart's "Reaper of the Bailey" organization and fixed London's corrupt legal system by proving him guilty of being the leader of it and that he was responsible for murdering the 3rd and 4th Professor victims one of whom was the previous Lord Justice which Stronghart had killed so he could usurp his position.
  • After returning to Japan, she and Naruhodo start their own law firm in an attempt to help Japan's legal system improve.
  • While Susato can be violent at times, these moments are played for comedy and she apologises for these moments every time and even offers Naruhodo the chance to throw her five times so he can be compensated. Even if she threw him to impress Herlock, she subverts this when she feels great remorse when she hurts him later on and proves that she does care about Naruhodo considering she travelled all the way back to London just to see him again and to aid him with his cases.
