Mr. Moto
Mr. Moto (sh. G. Moto) je izmišljeni lik japanskog detektiva koji se prvi put pojavio 1936. godine u romanima američkog pisca Johna P. Marquanda. Mr. Moto je u romanima opisan kao agent japanske carske vlade, obrazovan u SAD, a koji posjeduje znanje brojnih svjetskih jezika kao i detektivske vještine s kojima razotkriva kriminalističke slučajeve i špijunske zavjere širom svijeta. Godine 1937. je hollywoodski studio 20th Century Fox po njihovim motivima snimio seriju igranih filmova gdje je lik Mota tumačio Peter Lorre; u filmovima, za razliku od romana, Moto je privatni detektiv, odnosno agent Interpola. Godine 1965. je snimljen film The Return of Mr. Moto gdje je njegov lik tumačio Henry Silva.
