Nightwalker — The Midnight Detective (Japanese: ナイトウォーカー真夜中の探偵, Hepburn: Naitouōkā Mayonaka no Tantei) is a late night anime TV series created by Ayana Itsuki that is adapted from a PC-9801 game of the same name.
Nightwalker incorporates elements of the horror, detective story and vampire genres, and is critically noted as a vampire story "with a bit of a twist". The main character is Shido, a vampire who protects humans from other supernatural creatures. A private investigator by day and a demon hunter by night, Shido solves murder cases caused by monsters called Nightbreeds.
