The fifth film in the series is set in Dicto, an investigative agency that pursues perpetrators of "information crimes" that abuse advanced information technology and threaten the lives and property of citizens, and takes on a variety of information crimes, including "special frauds" and "cyber terrorism," typified by anonymous, mobile crimes (commonly known as "tokuryu").
Shimizu is a former system engineer who joined the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department due to his knowledge and skills. He has worked as an expert in dealing with increasingly sophisticated and ingenious information crimes, particularly those committed on the Internet. He gets to the heart of the matter from cyberspace, and his data collection and analytical skills have been described as "genius." He is a laid-back character who likes to work alone and in silence.
As a series of robberies occur that exploit "information," an elderly woman named Sanada Fukiko (Umezawa Masayo) is attacked by a group of four men, punched in the face and breaking her leg.
Ninomiya Nami (played by Sawaguchi), who learned of the extent of Fukiko's damage, checked the security camera footage with Shimizu in order to catch the culprit. She gave detailed instructions such as "Shimi-chan, please do it again" and "Stop it. Put it back in one frame," and Shimizu followed her instructions with practiced hands.
Ninomiya asked Shimizu to zoom in on a person's feet, so he enlarged the image. However, the image was grainy. When Ninomiya asked Shimizu, "Can you figure out what kind of shoes these are?", Shimizu replied, "Please give me a little time," and continued working.
As a result of Shimizu's efforts, the type of shoes the man was wearing was identified. Ninomiya discovered that they were the same shoes worn by someone he had previously seen at the scene, and they began to move towards arresting the culprit.
On social media, there was a lot of buzz about her, with comments like "Kuroshima Yuina is perfect for the role," "I feel like this role is perfect for Kuroshima Yuina! She's not too feminine!" and "Kuroshima Yuina is really cute."
