TELL ME ABOUT COOL FICTIONAL DETECTIVES AND THIEVES FROM ANY MEDIA!!!!

i have such a massive hyperfixation on fictional detectives and
thieves rn and i cannot for the LIFE of me find more detectives that are
cool in the funky fictional way and probably a bit insane and not just serious police detectives from
random live action shows... or yk... sherlock holmes (WHO I THINK IS
GREAT HES A FUNKY FELLOW BUT I KNOW HIM ALREADY) or thieves who are
FLASHY and COOL and wear a TOPHAT PROBABLY OR MAYBE NOT

can be from literally any media imaginable (except i probably wont watch anything live action.. not my thing atm but MAYBE IN THE FUTURE! or if its filmed in an interesting way.. or like old but fun) including shows, anime, manga, books, movies, games, and literally whatever else

the ones ive collected so far are

detectives:

- shuichi saihara - drv3
-
sherlock holmes - most of his versions are silly, whether its the
original stories (which i havent read yet) or the old tv shows, or the
sherlock series (i actually liked it when i watched it ages ago) or the
moriarty the patriot version (HES SO STUPID)
- goro akechi - persona 5 (royal specifically cuz im playing that vers)
- the entire armed detective agency. i love them all - bungou stray dogs
- my oc isaac who im making a comic for... coughh... not relevant ik
- ganimard (rip he was only in like 3 stories to my knowledge.. keep fishing, my man) - arsène lupin
- porfiry petrovich - crime and punishment (MY FAVOURITE BOOK)

phantom thieves or similar criminals:
(the flair is whats important)

- joker - persona 5 (seperate just bc i love him soo much)
- the phantom thieves - persona 5
- phantom thief au kokichi ouma - drv3
- arsène lupin - arsène lupin (who coulda guessed)
- william james moriarty - moriarty the patriot (idfk about the other versions soo)
- nikolai gogol - bungou stray dogs (on this list purely because he looks funky and therefore has flair. literally no other reason)
- my oc aurelius who is also in my comic... cough.... not relevant at all

please please comment or message if you have more or have suggestions for stuff i could watch/read/play - only rule is they must all have a level of sillyness about them

im also putting this topic as a blog post on my profile to see which format gets more response for future reference

zach jordon and kylie macdonald from nypd red are the first that come to mind. 

i think theyre cool, at least in the first book. unfortunately the sequels make them so one dimensional and they just become so insecure, and then too much emphasis is but on zach's surface level relationship problems and not the actual story and crime.
