Aoyama once drew Yukawa Gaku himself and commented: "Scientific knowledge is indispensable in criminal investigation, and Yukawa Gaku in Detective Galileo is such a character!" He used his genius mind to solve these incredible mysteries one by one with theory, and he really deserved to be a man with the nickname of 'Galileo'. ”
