At times, Japp cannily plays upon Poirot's ego in order to nudge the detective into taking up cases, but in such ways as Poirot does not seem to realize that Japp is manoeuvring him.
Japp and Hastings often commiserate on their confusion and inability to keep up with Poirot on cases. James Japp, while being a competent detective, is no match for Poirot he frequently finds himself a step behind the great detective but has developed a grudging respect for the man's abilities over their years together.
It is unknown what happened to him afterwards. Unlike Captain Arthur Hastings, who made his last apperance in Curtain, Japp never appeared in a later installment of the series post-1930s. However, in the original stories, Japp no longer made any appearance after 1940, as One, Two, Buckle My Shoe became his final appearance. Even so, comparing to his much later replacement, Superintendent Spence, Japp still shows shadows of stereotypical police character in a detective novel series. He most notably serves as the major protagonist in seven Poirot novels. He is partially inspired by Inspector Lestrade in Sherlock Holmes, but with much more involvement to the story. Inspector is the most recurring police character in the series and served as major protagonist, triangonist and sometimes even as deuteragonist in several stories.
