A mixed-flow turbine wheel includes: a plurality of rotor blades disposed on a circumferential surface of the hub at intervals in a circumferential direction and configured such that each of the plurality of rotor blades has a leading edge which includes, in a meridional view, an oblique edge portion where a distance between the leading edge and an axis of the rotational shaft decreases from a tip side toward a hub side, and a sensor detection surface having a flat shape and being applied with a marking which is detectable by an optical sensor device. The sensor detection surface is formed on at least one of the circumferential surface of the hub or an edge portion of a reference rotor blade being one of the plurality of rotor blades, such that, in the meridional view, a trailing-edge side angle of two angles formed between the axis of the rotational shaft and a normal of the sensor detection surface is smaller than a trailing-edge side angle of two angles formed between the axis of the rotational shaft and a normal of the oblique edge portion.
