The storyline appears to parallel that of the original novel quite closely but the setting has been changed to Japan in the 1930s and the events have been adapted to suit the Japanese cultural context. In addition, non-canonical characters have been introduced. There is a Hercule Poirot parallel character named Eikuho Kamon, also a "famous detective" who makes use of "little grey cells" and formerly a policeman in Manchuria. He is assisted by Asakura Heisuke Hidekuho, a former naval officer and a parallel of Captain Hastings. There is also Inspector Hino, of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and a Chief Inspector Japp parallel.
