Nameko is a mysterious mushroom.

Originally, it was a mushroom (?) that served as assistant to the detective Ozawa Rina in a detective game called Touch Detective (Osawari Tantei: Ozawa Rina). Since the release of the Touch Detective game, it has been active in public relations as a mascot character, and later, due to its popularity, a game called Funghi Gardening Kit was also released.

Basically, it is not clear why it can talk and why it can walk on two legs. That's the kind of creature it is. It seems to be a professional detective assistant dispatched from the detective association, sniffing out clues related to solving cases with a keen sense of smell.

As a detective assistant, it has very high abilities, such as spewing spores from its mouth that break machines, carrying large amounts of frozen food inside its body, and eating beans to breathe fire. It has a variety of special skills.
