There’s an interesting thread over at Court Records that I was mulling over myself.

Is Phoenix Wright right or left-handed? In his sprites, he mostly seems left-handed. However, this could be because if he gestured or held things with his right hand, it would be in the way of the “camera”. Furthermore, Edgey’s gestures involve his right hand, even though he is canonically left-handed.

In the manga, he uses both hands, although he tends more towards his right-hand. I suppose this could mean he’s ambidextrous, but somehow that doesn’t seem to fit his character to me.

Why do I care? It might come up in my fanfiction and these things bother me. Personally, I think being left-handed is pretty cool for him, but there’s no reason why he would NEED to be left or right handed. But it could make a fun clue, like in Edgeworth’s murder case.
