Fuuto PI (Japanese: 風都探偵, Hepburn: Fūto Tantei) is a Japanese manga series written by Riku Sanjo and illustrated by Masaki Sato. It is a manga sequel of the Kamen Rider W television series. It has been serialized in Shogakukan's Big Comic Spirits since August 2017, with its chapters collected in ten tankōbon volumes as of March 2021. An anime television series adaptation by Studio Kai is scheduled to premiere in July 2022.
Taking place after Kamen Rider W Returns: Kamen Rider Accel, Fuuto PI revolves around Shotaro Hidari, a private detective who works at Narumi Detective Agency, and his partner Raito "Phillip" Sonozaki, the sole survivor of the Sonozaki family who can access the Gaia Library. Together they transform into Kamen Rider W, who protects the city of Fuuto from Dopants, monsters created by Gaia Memories. They solve cases alongside their boss Akiko Terui, who often joins their investigations with her husband Ryu (a member of the police force who is also Kamen Rider Accel).
One day, Shotaro encounters a amnesiac pink-haired girl named Tokime, who is being targeted by Dopants. After saving her, they decided to hire her at Narumi Detective Agency as their assistant. As Shotaro and Raito solve more cases, they gradually uncover Tokime's connection towards the mysterious Dopant Aurora.
