Jirokichi Suzuki (鈴木 次郎吉 Suzuki Jirokichi) is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.
Background
Jirokichi Suzuki is Sonoko's uncle and a general advisor for her father's corporation, although he is semi-retired and nowadays executes this function mostly as a pastime. He also has accumulated considerable wealth in his lifetime.[1]
Jirokichi is both adventurous and glory-hounding. Even at his considerable age he has risen to a number of extreme challenges, earning himself recognition and a constant place on the front pages of Japanese newspapers. However, at one time a daring exploit by Kaito Kid had inadvertently stripped him of his 'rank', and as a result Jirokichi has declared a personal vendetta on Kid. Now he uses his considerable wealth to purchase rare and legendary gemstones and jewels for use as a bait for Kid, and to design ingenious traps to catch the master thief in the act.[1] However, as the unpredictable rascal Kid is, none of the traps are able to hold him, and so far only Conan has succeeded in preventing Kid from taking away the loot as well. Now that Conan has taken Jirokichi's place on the front pages as the 'kid Killer', Jirokichi feels jealous about him as well,[1] although he has also come to respect Conan's superior detective skills and intellect.[2]
Personality
Name Origin
Jirokichi's name comes from the historical thief Rat Boy Jirokichi (鼠小僧 次郎吉 Nezumi-Kozou Jirokichi).
