Sumio Kodai
Suda51 devised an official timeline for Sumio Mondo so
I guess that's some proof that each Sumio that you play as is the
same person in every game that he appears in. This is mainly a log of official
cases that the ward 24 detectives have previously worked on. Many of which have not occurred in game.

Quick facts: Sumio is a shelter child. Sumio Touba & Sumio Kodai are not the same person, or are they? Sumio is a womanizer. He is the leader of a terrorist trio known as the Mikumo boizu. They are the three wise monkeys. See no evil, Speak no evil, Hear no evil. Sumio is hear no evil. Sumio has split personalities.

Flower, Sun, and Rain (2001)
Silver Case 25 Ward (2005 - 2008)
Flower, Sun, and Rain Unending Paradise (2008)
Notable: It is believed in some circles that Garcian Smith is actually a stock body of Sumio Kodai. Garcian & Sumio are both orphaned by their respective governments.
This speculation stems from Ed Maclister's dialogue during his first cutscene in Killer 7
"Garcian: How do you know my name?
Ed Macalister: "I remember all the names of our guests. Including your bag sir."
When Ed say's "Including your bag sir." He was actually referencing Sumio Mondo's briefcase "KATHARINE"
Katharine also happens to be the name of Emir Parkreiner's alleged mother.
Which means that Ed either believes or senses that Garcian Smith is actually a stock body of Sumio Mondo
---------- Source: K7 2ch atwiki
I don't feel like looking for the actual quote, because I read it off of K7 2ch a long time ago. I feel that it's just a crack theory that's worthy of mention, because of how off the wall it sounds. The original theory posted at 2ch was based off of soul snatching from the Atlus game "Devil Summoner". This is the original DS game mind you, not the PS2 disaster known as Kuzunoha Raido.
What was remarkable about the connection is that both Garcian/Emir & Kyoji Kuzunoha even have a similar wardrobe.
Mr. Kuzunoha is a man who lost his body to a kid. (The main character of DS.)
Kuzunoha died protecting that kid, & the kid later died the same day.
It wasn't time for that kid to die yet, so Death (Grim Reaper) gave the kid Kuzunoha's body.
As a result during Devil Summoner 2 Soul Hackers Kuzunoha's conscious took control of some other occultist's body.
If you played Persona 2 Eternal Punishment, there was an elderly obese man named Thedoroki.
Maya Amano & crew were shocked to see how knowledgeable Theodoroki was about demons,& demon summoning considering that he doesn't look the type.
The reality was that Thedoroki's body was actually stolen by Kyouji Kuzunoha a professional Devil Summoner.
The point that I'm getting at is that some people in Japan think that Emir Parkreiner is Sumio & Sumio is now in the body of an African Indian man.
This stems from the Silver Eye, but I'll get into that at a later time.
Whether this is true or not is anybodies' guess, but I'm listing it as false for now. False, but it is interesting food for thought.
The main character, Sumio Mondo
is one of the few characters who reprise their role from the
"Silver Case"
Sumio was employed for the High Degree Murder 2nd Division, and was
most often paired up with Toriko Kusabi's father, Tetsuguro
Kusabi.
Due to an irresponsible act on Sumio's behalf, he was relieved of
his duty as a law enforcer for the Kyoka 24 ward.
Kill the past
*spoilers* Silver Case ~ background story from
CASE#3
PARADE
(Some links direct you to a .wmv file that
further illustrates Sumio's background.)
Sumio came from a town called Mikumomura.
Everybody from Mikumo mura were under the pay roll of the Iregyura
Yuki factory.
Waste water from the factory greatly attributed to the rise of
pollution within the area.
Adults of Mikmomura demonstrated protests against the factory every
week.
The protests gradually became cruel, and disorderly.
The chaotic nature of the protest's became to be known as the "Parade" referring to the congregation of protesting madmen.
The "parade" attacked the
manager of Mikumo 77.
The manager's family tried to flee, but they and the house they
resided in were nothing more than a husk of cast-off skin by the
end of the night.
The manager's daughter Ril, was the sole survivor of the
family.
Sumio grabbed Ril by the hand, and tried to slip out of the
city.
They were eventually caught by the "Parade".
The adults of the "Parade" antagonized Ril & labeled her a
witch.
Sumio & all of whom who tried to protect Ril were punished for
their transgressions.
(Hiseki & Fyuki
are Sumio's childhood friends. Ril the eldest of them all was a
girl that he yearned for.)
Hiseki's
punishment, so as not to see the witch, eyes are crushed.
Fyuki's punishment, so as not to call the witch, the mouth is
sewn.
So as not to hear the witch's voice, oil was poured into Sumio's
ears.
And, Ril is violated & raped to death by adults, she was only
eight years old. Sumio held a grudge against all Iregyura Yuki, especially
the ringleader and he had a grudge against the ominous Mikumo. 20 years later-
During a case that involved investigating Mikmomura. Sumio executed
the plan to manipulate the Iregyura Yuki to annihilate the city
from his child hood. One by one the members of the Iregyura Yuki
committed suicide by either blowing their selves apart with time
bombs or fell to their deaths. The chairman of the Iregyura Yuki self detonated the Snow
Tower which resulted in taking out the entire village of Mikmomura
along with it.
With the Yuki conglomerate eliminated & the city burnt to
ashes,
Sumio Killed the past *spoilers
end* .

inside a chimney & plunged to his death. His body was burnt
to a crisp. All that remained was a diamond. - Yukimura, Ril: The manager of Mikumo 77's daughter. She was assaulted
& lynched by the "Parade" and died in Mikumo mura ..20 years
ago...
- Kodai, Sumio: Direct perpetrator of the kidnapping of the Iregyura Snow
chairman. STATUS: Sumio was indirectly
responsible for the genocide of an entire city. He was arrested
after the destruction of Mikumo mura & was stripped of his duty
as a detective of the HMD. He tried to conceal the injury of his
ear, but was eventually caught & detained when his conversation
was leaked through lip reading.
--------------------
A couple yrs.
after the events of the Silver Case, Sumio resurfaces as a
"Searcher".
If there is request, as a matter of principle he will search for
the answer.
Sumio's partner in crime is a cryptographic decoder known as
“KATHARINE” a metal device concealed within his briefcase.
He dresses stylishly in a custom made suit & drives his beloved
Toyota Celica.
It's been said that Sumio is a rather nihilistic man , and some
what of a womanizer or playboy.
Although he is an adult, Sumio has a hard time recollecting his
past.
(Leaving one to wonder what has transpired since we last saw
Sumio.)
What was originally intended to be a relaxing time,
at the most reputable paradise in the world.
Quickly turned into a nightmare of confoundery &
contrivances.
He undertakes a job requested by Ed Macalister, the manager of
Hotel Flower, Sun, & Rain.
to defuse an airplane bomb at Lospass airport.
Upon arrival he constantly finds himself being bombarded by
Lospass tourists & or residents who need his help.
This usually leads to Sumio not getting to the airport in time.
However he seems to be caught in a limbo of time as every day he
spends in Lospass seems to have the same beginning & end.
(A phone call from Ed Macalister wakes him up every morning.
Telling him that his breakfast is ready. Although not once has
Sumio ever receive his breakfast.
His day ends with the airplane bomb exploding.) Every time Sumio
tries to complete the job that he was contracted to do he almost
always ends up having to deal with local dilemmas of Lospass
island.
It's as if somebody doesn't want him to reach the airport.
If that wasn't bad enough there's also a mysterious man with a
silver eye who claims to be familiar with Sumio's past.
By the way who is that strange girl who always appears in Sumio's
dreams. Why is she always accompanied with a pink alligator?
I can't believe they actually let her in the hotel.
