This has to be intentional.

>Stereotypical Sherlock/Watson representation (same one as that Disney Rat Detective movie)
>A thin guy/fat guy villainous comedy duo (one of the oldest tropes around)
It ain't unlikely
What >>322605747 they are pretty comon representations.
Though, being a japanese game, a homenage to a old cartoon isn't out the question either

Also this OP
DGS is full of subtle references
>>322605747
Not once before in Ace Attorney have they used the "thin guy/fat guy villainous comedy duo", but now decided to add them in the same game that Sherlock Holmes has a main role.
And on top of that, they look almost the same: outfit, bowties, hats, moustaches. Heck, even the fat guy looks like a dog.

Isn't the dog Sherlock cartoon an old anime?
Takumi probably watched it as a kid and decided to reference it.
>>322606094
Italian-Japanese, which was pretty common back in the day

Well there you go then, Takumi watched it as a kid and since he really liked those two crooks he decided to put two characters inspired by them in his Sherlock game.

I prefer to wait for a rom translation and maybe playing it on a hacked 3DS, there has been a lot of work in this field lately.
