It was written by Japanese playwright Kōki Mitani and is often referred to as the Japanese version of Columbo.

The program aired weekly and featured a guest villain each time, usually a famous talent in Japan. Pop-stars like SMAP, television hosts like Sanma Akashiya and even sports figures like Ichiro Suzuki have been featured on this program.
