Detective Chief Inspector James Japp (later Assistant Commissioner Japp) is a fictional character who appears in several of Agatha Christie's novels featuring Hercule Poirot. ==Japp in Christie's work== Japp's career in the Poirot novels extends into the 1930s but, like Hastings, he disappeared from Christie's writing thereafter. A police officer somewhat similar in character (Superintendent Spence) was introduced as a significant recurring character in the later Poirot novels. Japp appears in Christie's stage play ''Black Coffee'', written in 1929. He remarks to Poirot that it has been a "long time" since they last met, in connection with "that Welsh case", which is not otherwise identified. Inspector Japp is also briefly mentioned in the Tommy and Tuppence book ''The Secret Adversary''; his card is brought to Julius Hersheimmer at the end of chapter five. Like those of Miss Lemon and Arthur Hastings, the role of Inspector Japp in Poirot's career has been exaggerated by adaptations of Christie's original novels; specifically by the TV series ''Agatha Christie's Poirot'', where these characters are often introduced into stories that did not originally feature them. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Inspector Japp」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
