Takanori Sewa (瀬羽 尊徳 Sewa Takanori?) is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan. Although he is only called the landlord in the anime and manga (家主 Yanushi) and in the Funimation Dub, the sixth special gives him his current name.

Background

Takanori Sewa is one of the richest men in Beika before he was arrested. He possessed a large mansion which could easily house his family: his wife, Mrs. Sewa, his son, and many other employees including maids and house-workers. He was the CEO of the Sewa Financial Group but his son inherited of the company after his arrest. His mansion is big enough to hold parties, receptions and has a large parking. It also has a meeting room where Takanori met Sonoko and Ran. He likes to buy extravagant furniture and clothes.

Appearance

Being in the 60s, Sewa is practically bald except for a crown of long grey hair around his head. He isn't really tall and is pretty large. He also has an extremely large mustache which color corresponds to his hair's color. He always wear suits accompanied with a bowtie. He has a pretty athletic body since he was able to stop his wheelchair from going backwards and climb high structures like the balcony of Yamazaki's room. He pretended he was handicapped by a broken leg but it was revealed to be fake.

Personality

Takanori is pretty rich and really likes living his extravagant life and earn money. His motive for murder was probably because of financial problems with Yamazaki. He isn't subtle in disguising his stuff since he freaked out when Sonoko told him Shinichi was a detective. He remains serious and has a fake familiar looking style. He is wise enough to fabricate alibis and a murder trick although it was obvious. In the special, he seems to be more pleasant and nice towards people but it might be just tricks to make people believe he is good.

Sewa jr.

He and his son are also in good terms and Sewa grants him much liberty. He will inherit the company when his father will be convicted.

Maid

Tetsu Yamazaki

Tetsu Yamazaki, age 38, is another CEO of a company and is not as rich as Sewa. They weren't in good terms and he was invited to the party in purpose to be killed, in the manga and in the special. He was killed because he had financial problems towards Sewa.
