Detective Saburo Jinguji (探偵神宮寺三郎, Tantei Jingūji Saburō) is a series of adventure games originally developed by Data East. The series focuses on the titular detective, Saburo Jinguji, who works to solve various murders, with each game focusing on a singular case.
After Data East's bankruptcy the series was acquired by WorkJam and later Arc System Works, who continued to develop games for the series. Some of the WorkJam developed titles received official English localizations under the Jake Hunter title.
