{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸 蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called {{nihongo|'''Ano kata'''|あの方|lit. "That Person"}} by his subordinates, and the true overarching antagonist of the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.<br />
<br />
His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity. Before this important revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who the infamous boss was.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Ep942 Carasuma.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Karasuma's criminal organization.]]<br />
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in all of modern Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful, and political contacts in the world. He is richer than the [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] in Tokyo and [[Ooka family]] in Kyoto.<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018).</ref> He is said to have died over 100 years old sometime twenty years prior to the current timeline, under quite mysterious circumstances and with his legacy unknown. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. About sixty-seven years ago, at his birthday party, he met [[Amanda Hughes]], an American VIP.<br />
<br />
When his mother died, he inherited the [[Sunset Manor]], a huge western-style manor house, from her and over time filled his vacation home, that personified his nest, with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up [[crow]]. Forty years ago, he found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he hired people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the true cause behind the numerous old bloodstains found all over the house.<br />
<br />
He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Tokyo that pays well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about it. He is the man at the center of it all, directing illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance the interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls the "[[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, the big boss communicates with his ruthless subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children's song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deemed worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
He is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met Karasuma<ref name=black/> but hated him after learning that her father was killed, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel, and impatient man. He is materialistic as driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he doesn't value human life, as brutally killed numerous innocent people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster. He had become all-consuming for power and his ambition is dreadful.<br />
<br />
Wise and quiet, intelligent and manipulative, he is ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him for many years for a single mistake. [[Vermouth]] says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]] could become a [[silver bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
He is a crow-like man who has only appeared as an ominous shape. Looking like a Tengu who led the evil forces, he is bald on the top of his head with the rest of his hair extended to the neck, with a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held his left arm behind the back and a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest. He is right-handed.<br />
<br />
== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===<br />
The world's greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture.<ref>Anime original information. The place is on the [[:File:EP219-invitation.jpg|invitation]] and [[:File:EP219-junction.jpg|sign]], a rural area 2 kilometers from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]].</ref> [[Saguru Hakuba|Saguru]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were mostly lies about an out-of-control auction resulted in a massacre when two robbers infiltrated the mansion as wanderers one stormy night and dosed the people with marijuana. The host told them that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who died half-a-century ago, at the age of 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside.<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for the Black Organization.</ref> That name triggers the guests attention, since he had tremendous influence throughout Japan.<br />
<br />
Conan solved the riddle about the King, Queen, and Knight: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer peels off the entire outer walls of the black building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen. Sunset being when the sky shines gold as the sun goes down, it is literally a "Golden Manor".<br />
<br />
[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure disguised as [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], but it was too big for him to carry away and then flees from the area. Shukuzen Ogami, who was in serious trouble since he had put himself into massive debt to buy the house two years ago and wanted to kill all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found for him, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her, were possessed by Karasuma all along.<br />
<br />
=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===<br />
Conan visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with an evil aura to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.<br />
<br />
=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===<br />
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure behind Gin, Vodka, and a naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm, sure that he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.<br />
<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===<br />
[[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Subaru Okiya|Subaru]] have reached the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], Conan visualizes Karasuma as a shape before Gin, Vodka, a naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.<br />
<br />
=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: [[Makoto Kyogoku the Understudy|995]]) ===<br />
When [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] reminds the drug her parents were forced to create by the Black Organization, which shrunk Shinichi and Haibara's bodies, she visualizes Karasuma as a shape behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder, and that drug.<br />
<br />
=== Trapped at Hatoyama Farm (Manga: [[Volume 99#Trapped at Hatoyama Farm|1051]], Anime: [[The Spark That Fell on the Ranch|1053]]) ===<br />
When [[Rumi Wakasa|Wakasa]], talking with [[Sumiko Kobayashi|Kobayashi]] about someone named "Karasuda" (crow field) as a crow, imagines that person all black and sly, a conspirator who's hard to get close to, but someone with such a name might well be a bright and cheery person instead, Conan visualizes Karasuma as a shape and the pet crow on his left shoulder, suspecting that she is a candidate for being the organization's second-in-command, [[Rum]], and might personally know him.<br />
<br />
=== Yusaku Kudo's TV Show Case (Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Detective Show|1072]]) ===<br />
Conan, Yusaku, and Akai visualize Karasuma as a shape behind Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth, and the pet crow on his left shoulder.<br />
<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
When she reveals Conan the organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s drug to manipulate one's memories to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualizes the boss as a black figure clutching a globe.<br />
<br />
=== A criminal wasn't made in a day (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 4#File 020: A criminal (Hannin) wasn't made in a day|20]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Rum ====<br />
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that Karasuma must trust [[Kanenori Wakita]] the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. Rum has his support to do activities, such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world, in order to strengthen the organization. About forty-seven years ago, Rum appeared at the International Economic Forum's Annual General Meeting on behalf of him, who was absent due to poor health. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him the chief administrator in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. He needs Gin to do the more criminal works, as other men are prevented from acting to that extent. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison Shinichi with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason, the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.<br />
<br />
==== Vodka ====<br />
[[Vodka]] is the managerial secretary in the organization. He is scared of consequence to act without the boss' permission, for example by killing Vermouth during a spy mission, but of course Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]] is known as Karasuma's favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hate, mistrust, and wish to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship. However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Chris Vineyard to undermine the organization by protecting Conan, someone she thinks is especially dangerous. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan tried to force Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.<br />
<br />
==== Chianti ====<br />
[[Chianti]] is scared of him even more than she proves to be scared of Gin and must work with Vermouth due to direct orders from the boss. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her in the end. Furthermore, she proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their group four years ago, but she and Kir have a cordial relation.<br />
<br />
==== Kir ====<br />
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device corroborated her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savagery. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the organization. Hidemi Hondou had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to prove that the story was true. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Akai did not make a strong move. Gin thought that Akai is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Hearing about [[Andre Camel|Camel]] became a suspect in a coincidental murder case, the organization takes advantage of the FBI's distraction, so Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.<br />
<br />
==== Bourbon ====<br />
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. However, Tooru Amuro received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Akai's death by disguising himself as him and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency]], Rei Furuya has been persevering to turn in Akai to the organization to earn higher ranks to get closer to the boss. Moreover, Bourbon is one of the few people who know his secret relationship with Vermouth.<br />
<br />
==== Sherry ====<br />
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. However, before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape. Naturally, he ordered the organization to hunt the traitor down and murder her, and to get rid of anyone associated with her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to Pandora's Box for his safety. Of course she knows all this from the start, the email address and the unbelievable person behind it, but this important secret is extremely dangerous, so Haibara has been hiding his true identity because she fears Conan, who is clearly her love interest but not reciprocated and her only hope, will make a rash move and get himself killed. However, she isn't scared of her former boss more than Gin, Vermouth, or Rum. He had also separed her from Generic.<br />
<br />
==== Miyano family ====<br />
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, so he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]], but backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.<br />
<br />
==== Pisco ====<br />
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served under him for many years. He trusted Kenzo Masuyama enough to make him an executive agent of the organization. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. This conversation revealed his existence to Conan. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on a flash photo in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper about two celebrities' covert romance. He found that picture on the internet and, fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn his house to the ground, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry was.<br />
<br />
==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====<br />
For assurance, he sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered by Akai and killed himself.<br />
<br />
==== Irish ====<br />
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, which took without knowing it from a [[Masaaki Okakura|black agent]] murdered before them, before the police catch the serial killer and discover what the card holds. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed his mentor, Pisco. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.<br />
<br />
==== Generic ====<br />
He soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of the US think that he is one of the organization's members, in order to bring the whole world under his power. However, Generic also runs away from the organization.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====<br />
[[Shinichi Kudo]], the high school student and world's greatest detective, currently shrank into a little kid, [[Conan Edogawa]], due to Gin and is the arch-enemy of Karasuma's criminal organization. From the beginning, as responsible for shrinking his body with their pill, Conan must manage to reach their mastermind and catch the "Black Organization", as he calls them, in one fell swoop, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole current life-threatening situation, but he has no idea someone like Conan exists. An extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone else in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone, which no other man in black or minor criminal can do. In fact, despite the two never actually confronting each other in person, every time he sees someone on a cell phone or sing Nanatsu no Ko, Conan gets flashbacks to Vermouth, from whom he got a vital clue, the email address that could lead him to the name and whereabouts of the supreme commander who controls them, and suddenly he looks pale and frightened. From now on, until his mission comes to a close, anyone associated with Conan, his parents or friends, is in a do-or-die situation.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Capturing a high-ranking member of the organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent Dai Moroboshi the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered by Rum due to a mistake made by Camel. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to believe Akai could become the organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.<br />

{{cquote|It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth.|Karasuma's message to Vermouth, file 434, page 13}}<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
Like [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto, "Karasuma" literally means "crow circle", as the logo in his crest or a Tengu, who is also "Crow-billed Tengu".<ref name=m7>Movie 7: "Crossroad in the Ancient Capital".</ref> It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]] with a similar crest, or "Ugan", as the nomadic tribe Wuhuan is written in another notation.<br />
<br />
"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji for "lotus" and "father".<br />
<br />
== Character inspiration ==<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]] was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization's head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017).</ref> Just like the "Napoleon of Crime", he doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like Al Capone did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014.</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who controls underworld and doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, remaining anonymous to the public, and the shape similar to Professor Moriarty's in the novels.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The anime version's huge painting in his former manor's dining room is a replica of ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. Since sunset also indicates an idea of "glorious sun that goes out", he was just like the wisest but later corrupt King Solomon.<br />
* Due to his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with the [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the author's favorite US comics.<br />
* His central role as the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895.</ref>, the boss in ''The Great Adventures of Professor Agasa 2'' game<ref>Manga volume 24, file 7; anime episode 176. The boss' character was a bit lame though, but compared to the last one, it was better.</ref>, and [[Wikipedia: Minamoto no Yoritomo|Minamoto no Yoritomo]] in the book ''Yoshitsune Chronicles''.<ref name=m7/><br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}}, alias {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}}, is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. About sixty-seven years ago, he was only a child. He was involved in the United States' [[Case from 17 years ago|murder case]] of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
Currently disguised as Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also a rude and intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He is a cigar smoker and has always wanted to try show at least once.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical gauze dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man. <br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

[[File:EP782-6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum vs. Akai and Camel.]]<br />
Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />
<br />

Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />
<br />

Wakita joins Conan, Kogoro, and [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] to Nagano mountains after receiving a request about investigating a suicide case in an old church.

It is soon revealed that someone has assembled all of them together keeping their identity secret. Next they are trapped inside the church and two of the people were killed. They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up.

<br />
=== Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br />
Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After Wakita learns from Kogoro that Rumi is at a chess tournament in [[Haido]], Rum drives to the building without disguise. He parks his car on a street within sight of here. His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br />
<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Hints that Rum is Kanenori Wakita ==<br />
<spoiler><br />
* He may be able to fit all three descriptions of Rum, even though it was revealed that they are just a rumor planted by himself so better conceal his identity. He wears a patch over his left eye, which may conceal a prosthetic, and has still it despite saying that it will heal. Both of the other suspects, Kuroda and Wakasa, apparently have their right eye blind/prosthetic, which is why he stands out among them.<br />
* He has an interest in Sleeping Kogoro, just like Gin, while Wakasa and Kuroda personally have more interest in Conan. On top of that, since it was Sleeping Kogoro that solved the murder behind the occult detective who try to solve Kohji Haneda's murder case, it is only natural Rum's main focus and interest would be on Kogoro, because he wants to stop him from investigating the truth behind that murder at all cost. He took an interest in reports of Shinichi's return and even tried to visit his house.<br />
* Rum in text messages has twice used the English phrase "Time is money", which can be translated into Japanese as "時は金なり", whose Romanization "Toki wa kane nari" is an anagram of "Wakita Kanenori".<br />
* He can be deceptive. As of now, he has yet to meet Haibara and communicate with her directly in any cases, making him the primary suspect to have a different response compared to Kuroda and Wakasa when seeing her later. However, in file 1072, Haibara felt the aura of organization and, at that time, Wakita was riding a motorbike passed Teitan Elementary School.<br />
* Like Bourbon, whose workplace was just a floor under Mouri detective agency, his workplace is one of Kogoro's favourite hangout places, which is just next door to it. This in turn allows him to move around freely and observe Kogoro's or his associates' movement much closely, without the need of using complex disguise like Vermouth and raising any suspicions to almost anyone, since public would believe he is a normal sushi seller that goes around delivering it to customers when being compared to Wakasa and Kuroda. Even if there is no customers that ordered sushi for delivery, he can easily fake an order to his own shop, thus allowing him to leave it either way, just like when he can investigate Shinichi.<br />
* When Amuro, Conan, Kogoro, and Wakita were on the train to Nagano mountain, he said that he hated betrayal, which seemingly meant he sensed that Bourbon betrayed him by sending him fake information about Shinichi's death. He completely snapped when the suspects started badmouthing Kogoro's actions after checking the victim's condition, something that Bourbon hinted afterwards that Rum is an impatient person. What's more interesting, after the whole case had been solved, Morofushi came to them and pretended he didn't know Amuro by shaking hands with Kogoro, asking him who these two men were, although Taka'aki had met him before when [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] was still alive. Presumably, Kuroda ordered Taka'aki calling him to help Amuro by acting as a stranger in front of Wakita, so that his true identity as an undercover agent working for the NPA could be hidden. Before leaving, Taka'aki didn't forget to mention a saying which was similar to "Time is money".<br />
* In his debut, he even mentioned that he is a drifter, which may hint that he never stays in one place very long, so that he can go where ever the Black Organization or boss needs him to be to investigate an important matter, and if necessary to take care of the problem, and then disappear quickly. A customer asked what happened to the regular waiter, and he answered that he was in an accident, which was probably arranged, so that he can have this job to spy on the Mouri detective agency, and in particular Kogoro. One of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</spoiler><br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is his direct superior, meaning that Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. He has Karasuma's support to do activities, such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world, in order to strengthen the organization. About forty-seven years ago, he appeared at the International Economic Forum's Annual General Meeting on behalf of Karasuma, who was absent due to poor health. However, he is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, when he was only a child, [[Amanda Hughes]] met him at Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Instead of become part of their family, she sacrificed herself to save her adoptive daughter and swallowed his drug developed by the organization, which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, [[Kohji Haneda]] met him at his hotel room, while hiding Amanda's bodyguard. Kohji knew he was associated with Karasuma and, refusing to tell about Asaka's whereabouts, he was beaten by one of their men and drugged by Rum, which led to his death.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in the [[Countdown to Heaven|first movie]] about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}}, alias {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}}, is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. About sixty-seven years ago, he was only a child. He was involved in the United States' [[Case from 17 years ago|murder case]] of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
Currently disguised as Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also a rude and intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He is a cigar smoker and has always wanted to try show at least once.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical gauze dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man. <br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

[[File:EP782-6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum vs. Akai and Camel.]]<br />
Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br />
<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case|980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br />

<br />
=== Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===<br />

<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br />
Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />
<br />
=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===<br />
Wakita joins Conan, Kogoro, and [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] to Nagano mountains after receiving a request about investigating a suicide case in an old church. He mention that he hated betrayal, like trader selling some old fish in a high price while they were on the train. Upon reaching the church they are joined by some people. It is soon revealed that someone has assembled all of them together keeping their identity secret. Next they are trapped inside the church and two of the people were killed. They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up. After they are rescue from the church, he introduce himself as Kogoro's apprentice along with Amuro to Nagano prefecture police inspector, [[Taka'aki Morofushi|Morofushi]].<br />
<br />
=== Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br />
Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After Wakita learns from Kogoro that Rumi is at a chess tournament in [[Haido]], Rum drives to the building without disguise. He parks his car on a street within sight of here. His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br />
<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Hints that Rum is Kanenori Wakita ==<br />
<spoiler><br />
* He may be able to fit all three descriptions of Rum, even though it was revealed that they are just a rumor planted by himself so better conceal his identity. He wears a patch over his left eye, which may conceal a prosthetic, and has still it despite saying that it will heal. Both of the other suspects, Kuroda and Wakasa, apparently have their right eye blind/prosthetic, which is why he stands out among them.<br />
* He has an interest in Sleeping Kogoro, just like Gin, while Wakasa and Kuroda personally have more interest in Conan. On top of that, since it was Sleeping Kogoro that solved the murder behind the occult detective who try to solve Kohji Haneda's murder case, it is only natural Rum's main focus and interest would be on Kogoro, because he wants to stop him from investigating the truth behind that murder at all cost. He took an interest in reports of Shinichi's return and even tried to visit his house.<br />
* Rum in text messages has twice used the English phrase "Time is money", which can be translated into Japanese as "時は金なり", whose Romanization "Toki wa kane nari" is an anagram of "Wakita Kanenori".<br />
* He can be deceptive. As of now, he has yet to meet Haibara and communicate with her directly in any cases, making him the primary suspect to have a different response compared to Kuroda and Wakasa when seeing her later. However, in file 1072, Haibara felt the aura of organization and, at that time, Wakita was riding a motorbike passed Teitan Elementary School.<br />
* Like Bourbon, whose workplace was just a floor under Mouri detective agency, his workplace is one of Kogoro's favourite hangout places, which is just next door to it. This in turn allows him to move around freely and observe Kogoro's or his associates' movement much closely, without the need of using complex disguise like Vermouth and raising any suspicions to almost anyone, since public would believe he is a normal sushi seller that goes around delivering it to customers when being compared to Wakasa and Kuroda. Even if there is no customers that ordered sushi for delivery, he can easily fake an order to his own shop, thus allowing him to leave it either way, just like when he can investigate Shinichi.<br />
* When Amuro, Conan, Kogoro, and Wakita were on the train to Nagano mountain, he said that he hated betrayal, which seemingly meant he sensed that Bourbon betrayed him by sending him fake information about Shinichi's death. He completely snapped when the suspects started badmouthing Kogoro's actions after checking the victim's condition, something that Bourbon hinted afterwards that Rum is an impatient person. What's more interesting, after the whole case had been solved, Morofushi came to them and pretended he didn't know Amuro by shaking hands with Kogoro, asking him who these two men were, although Taka'aki had met him before when [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] was still alive. Presumably, Kuroda ordered Taka'aki calling him to help Amuro by acting as a stranger in front of Wakita, so that his true identity as an undercover agent working for the NPA could be hidden. Before leaving, Taka'aki didn't forget to mention a saying which was similar to "Time is money".<br />
* In his debut, he even mentioned that he is a drifter, which may hint that he never stays in one place very long, so that he can go where ever the Black Organization or boss needs him to be to investigate an important matter, and if necessary to take care of the problem, and then disappear quickly. A customer asked what happened to the regular waiter, and he answered that he was in an accident, which was probably arranged, so that he can have this job to spy on the Mouri detective agency, and in particular Kogoro. One of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</spoiler><br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is his direct superior, meaning that the boss must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. He has Karasuma's support to do activities, such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world, in order to strengthen the organization. About forty-seven years ago, he appeared at the International Economic Forum's Annual General Meeting on behalf of chairman, who was absent due to poor health. However, he is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, when he was only a child, [[Amanda Hughes]] met him at Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Instead of become part of their family, she sacrificed herself to save her adoptive daughter and swallowed his drug developed by the organization, which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, [[Kohji Haneda]] met him at his hotel room, while hiding Amanda's bodyguard. Kohji knew he was associated with Karasuma and, refusing to tell about Asaka's whereabouts, he was beaten by one of their men and drugged by Rum, which led to his death.<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in the [[Countdown to Heaven|first movie]] about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}}, alias {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}}, is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. About sixty-seven years ago, he was only a child. He was involved in the United States' [[Case from 17 years ago|murder case]] of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
Currently disguised as Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also a rude and intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He is a cigar smoker and has always wanted to try show at least once.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical gauze dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man. <br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />

Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Hints that Rum is Kanenori Wakita ==<br />
<spoiler><br />
* He may be able to fit all three descriptions of Rum, even though it was revealed that they are just a rumor planted by himself so better conceal his identity. He wears a patch over his left eye, which may conceal a prosthetic, and has still it despite saying that it will heal. Both of the other suspects, Kuroda and Wakasa, apparently have their right eye blind/prosthetic, which is why he stands out among them.<br />
* He has an interest in Sleeping Kogoro, just like Gin, while Wakasa and Kuroda personally have more interest in Conan. On top of that, since it was Sleeping Kogoro that solved the murder behind the occult detective who try to solve Kohji Haneda's murder case, it is only natural Rum's main focus and interest would be on Kogoro, because he wants to stop him from investigating the truth behind that murder at all cost. He took an interest in reports of Shinichi's return and even tried to visit his house.<br />
* Rum in text messages has twice used the English phrase "Time is money", which can be translated into Japanese as "時は金なり", whose Romanization "Toki wa kane nari" is an anagram of "Wakita Kanenori".<br />
* He can be deceptive. As of now, he has yet to meet Haibara and communicate with her directly in any cases, making him the primary suspect to have a different response compared to Kuroda and Wakasa when seeing her later. However, in file 1072, Haibara felt the aura of organization and, at that time, Wakita was riding a motorbike passed Teitan Elementary School.<br />
* Like Bourbon, whose workplace was just a floor under Mouri detective agency, his workplace is one of Kogoro's favourite hangout places, which is just next door to it. This in turn allows him to move around freely and observe Kogoro's or his associates' movement much closely, without the need of using complex disguise like Vermouth and raising any suspicions to almost anyone, since public would believe he is a normal sushi seller that goes around delivering it to customers when being compared to Wakasa and Kuroda. Even if there is no customers that ordered sushi for delivery, he can easily fake an order to his own shop, thus allowing him to leave it either way, just like when he can investigate Shinichi.<br />
* When Amuro, Conan, Kogoro, and Wakita were on the train to Nagano mountain, he said that he hated betrayal, which seemingly meant he sensed that Bourbon betrayed him by sending him fake information about Shinichi's death. He completely snapped when the suspects started badmouthing Kogoro's actions after checking the victim's condition, something that Bourbon hinted afterwards that Rum is an impatient person. What's more interesting, after the whole case had been solved, Morofushi came to them and pretended he didn't know Amuro by shaking hands with Kogoro, asking him who these two men were, although Taka'aki had met him before when [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] was still alive. Presumably, Kuroda ordered Taka'aki calling him to help Amuro by acting as a stranger in front of Wakita, so that his true identity as an undercover agent working for the NPA could be hidden. Before leaving, Taka'aki didn't forget to mention a saying which was similar to "Time is money".<br />
* In his debut, he even mentioned that he is a drifter, which may hint that he never stays in one place very long, so that he can go where ever the Black Organization or boss needs him to be to investigate an important matter, and if necessary to take care of the problem, and then disappear quickly. A customer asked what happened to the regular waiter, and he answered that he was in an accident, which was probably arranged, so that he can have this job to spy on the Mouri detective agency, and in particular Kogoro. One of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</spoiler><br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is his direct superior, meaning that the boss must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. He has Karasuma's support to do activities, such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world, in order to strengthen the organization. About forty-seven years ago, he appeared at the International Economic Forum's Annual General Meeting on behalf of chairman, who was absent due to poor health. However, he is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, when he was only a child, [[Amanda Hughes]] met him at Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Instead of become part of their family, she sacrificed herself to save her adoptive daughter and swallowed his drug developed by the organization, which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, [[Kohji Haneda]] met him at his hotel room, while hiding Amanda's bodyguard. Kohji knew he was associated with Karasuma and, refusing to tell about Asaka's whereabouts, he was beaten by one of their men and drugged by Rum, which led to his death.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in the [[Countdown to Heaven|first movie]] about the Black Organization.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a '''timeline''' of all the events that occurred during the series as well as events prior to Shinichi's reversion into Conan. The years are listed in reference to the current storyline time in Detective Conan. <br />
<br />
According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Detective Conan operates on a [[floating timeline]], which means there is a severe but unavoidable contradiction between the amount of time characters claim has passed and how much time has apparently passed according to the reader. These contradictions make it impossible to realistically determine when certain events in the current timeline happened exactly, since 20+ years of cases, seasons, and holidays are being crammed into "less than one year". Suwa considers that approximately 250 days have passed [This was stated when the anime was at episode 880]<ref>[https://manga.tokyo/interview/interview-with-detective-conan-producer-michihiko-suwa-part-1 Interview]</ref> since Shinichi became Conan.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. Rum is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical gauze dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man. <br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been.

He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Hints that Rum disguises as Kanenori Wakita ==<br />
* He may be able to fit all three descriptions of Rum, even though it was revealed that they are just a rumor planted by himself so better conceal his identity. He wears a patch over his left eye, which may conceal a prosthetic, and has still it despite saying that it will heal. Both of the other suspects, Kuroda and Wakasa, apparently have their right eye blind/prosthetic, which is why he stands out among them.<br />
* He has an interest in Sleeping Kogoro, just like Gin, while Wakasa and Kuroda personally have more interest in Conan. On top of that, since it was Sleeping Kogoro that solved the murder behind the occult detective who try to solve Kohji Haneda's [[Case from 17 years ago|murder case]], it is only natural Rum's main focus and interest would be on Kogoro, because he wants to stop him from investigating the truth behind that murder at all cost. He took an interest in reports of Shinichi's return and even tried to visit his house.<br />
* Rum in text messages has twice used the English phrase "Time is money", which can be translated into Japanese as "時は金なり", whose Romanization "Toki wa kane nari" is an anagram of "Wakita Kanenori".<br />
* He can be deceptive. As of now, he has yet to meet Haibara and communicate with her directly in any cases, making him the primary suspect to have a different response compared to Kuroda and Wakasa when seeing her later. However, in file 1072, Haibara felt the aura of organization and, at that time, Wakita was riding a motorbike passed [[Teitan Elementary School]].<br />
* Like Bourbon, whose workplace was just a floor under Mouri detective agency, his workplace is one of Kogoro's favourite hangout places, which is just next door to it. This in turn allows him to move around freely and observe Kogoro's or his associates' movement much closely, without the need of using complex disguise like Vermouth and raising any suspicions to almost anyone, since public would believe he is a normal sushi seller that goes around delivering it to customers when being compared to Wakasa and Kuroda. Even if there is no customers that ordered sushi for delivery, he can easily fake an order to his own shop, thus allowing him to leave it either way, just like when he can investigate Shinichi.<br />
* When Amuro, Conan, Kogoro, and Wakita were on the train to Nagano mountain, he said that he hated betrayal, which seemingly meant he sensed that Bourbon betrayed him by sending him fake information about Shinichi's death. He completely snapped when the suspects started badmouthing Kogoro's actions after checking the victim's condition, something that Bourbon hinted afterwards that Rum is an impatient person. What's more interesting, after the whole case had been solved, Morofushi came to them and pretended he didn't know Amuro by shaking hands with Kogoro, asking him who these two men were, although Taka'aki had met him before when [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] was still alive. Presumably, Kuroda ordered Taka'aki calling him to help Amuro by acting as a stranger in front of Wakita, so that his true identity as an undercover agent working for the NPA could be hidden. Before leaving, Taka'aki didn't forget to mention a saying which was similar to "Time is money".<br />
* In his debut, he even mentioned that he is a drifter, which may hint that he never stays in one place very long, so that he can go where ever the Black Organization or boss needs him to be to investigate an important matter, and if necessary to take care of the problem, and then disappear quickly. A customer asked what happened to the regular waiter, and he answered that he was in an accident, which was probably arranged, so that he can have this job to spy on the Mouri detective agency, and in particular Kogoro. One of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''[[Kamen Yaiba]]'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is Rum's direct superior, meaning that Renya Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. Rum has Karasuma's support to do activities such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world in order to strengthen the organization.<br />
<br />
However, Rum is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
According to Kohji Haneda, Rum attended the Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma fourty-seven years ago. This implies that Rum may be a member of the [[Karasuma Group]] headed by Renya Karasuma.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, she met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This indicates that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, [[Amanda Hughes]] met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel Asaka was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met [[Kohji Haneda]] at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

[[Image:Detective Conan Characters.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Main characters of the series]]<br />
The series was created and is drawn by [[Gosho Aoyama]]. The protagonists from his earlier series [[Magic Kaito]] look very similar: [[Kaitou Kid]] has made many appearances as himself in the anime and manga of the series. The main protagonist of the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' series, [[Shinichi Kudo]], and the protagonist of the ''Magic Kaito'' series, [[Kaito Kuroba]], are also similar. Hundreds of minor characters have been created and are always given backgrounds, motives, and personalities that put them under suspicion during the investigation.<br />
<br />
The English adaption dubbed by [[Funimation]], called ''Case Closed'', has different names than the one in the manga published by [[Viz Media]].<br />
<br />
== Protagonists ==<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. Rum is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse.

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />
<br />

=== Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===<br />

<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br />
Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />
<br />

It is soon revealed that someone has assembled all of them together keeping their identity secret. Next they are trapped inside the church and two of the people were killed. They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up.

<br />
=== Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br />
Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />

* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />

<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is Rum's direct superior, meaning that Renya Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. Rum has Karasuma's support to do activities such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world in order to strengthen the organization.<br />
<br />
However, Rum is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
According to Kohji Haneda, Rum attended the Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma fourty-seven years ago. This implies that Rum may be a member of the [[Karasuma Group]] headed by Renya Karasuma.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, she met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This indicates that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, [[Amanda Hughes]] met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel Asaka was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met [[Kohji Haneda]] at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />

* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895.

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />

They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case.

Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />

Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is Rum's direct superior, meaning that Renya Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. Rum has Karasuma's support to do activities such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world in order to strengthen the organization.<br />
<br />
However, Rum is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
According to Kohji Haneda, Rum attended the Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma fourty-seven years ago. This implies that Rum may be a member of the [[Karasuma Group]] headed by Renya Karasuma.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, she met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This indicates that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, [[Amanda Hughes]] met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel Asaka was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met [[Kohji Haneda]] at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />

* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895.

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />

They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up.

<br />
=== Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br />
Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is Rum's direct superior, meaning that Renya Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. Rum has Karasuma's support to do activities such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world in order to strengthen the organization.<br />
<br />
However, Rum is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
According to Kohji Haneda, Rum attended the Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma fourty-seven years ago. This implies that Rum may be a member of the [[Karasuma Group]] headed by Renya Karasuma.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, she met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This indicates that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, [[Amanda Hughes]] met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel Asaka was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met [[Kohji Haneda]] at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />

After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />

He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />

=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is Rum's direct superior, meaning that Renya Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. Rum has Karasuma's support to do activities such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world in order to strengthen the organization.<br />
<br />
However, Rum is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
According to Kohji Haneda, Rum attended the Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma fourty-seven years ago. This implies that Rum may be a member of the [[Karasuma Group]] headed by Renya Karasuma.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, she met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This indicates that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, [[Amanda Hughes]] met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel Asaka was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met [[Kohji Haneda]] at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Renya Karasuma for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />
<br />

They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up.

<br />
=== Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br />
Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />

His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br />
<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is Rum's direct superior, meaning that Renya Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. Rum has Karasuma's support to do activities such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world in order to strengthen the organization.<br />
<br />
However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
According to Kohji Haneda, Rum attended the Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma fourty-seven years ago. This implies that Rum may be a member of the [[Karasuma Group]] headed by Renya Karasuma.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, she met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This indicates that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, [[Amanda Hughes]] met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel Asaka was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met [[Kohji Haneda]] at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been.

He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Renya Karasuma ====<br />
[[Renya Karasuma]] is Rum's direct superior, meaning that Renya Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
According to Kohji Haneda, Rum attended the Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma fourty-seven years ago. This implies that Rum may be part of the [[Karasuma Group]] headed by Renya Karasuma.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, she met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This indicates that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, [[Amanda Hughes]] met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel Asaka was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met [[Kohji Haneda]] at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

<div>This is a '''timeline''' of all the events that occurred during the series as well as events prior to Shinichi's reversion into Conan. The years are listed in reference to the current storyline time in Detective Conan. <br />
<br />
According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Detective Conan operates on a [[floating timeline]], which means there is a severe but unavoidable contradiction between the amount of time characters claim has passed and how much time has apparently passed according to the reader. These contradictions make it impossible to realistically determine when certain events in the current timeline happened exactly, since 20+ years of cases, seasons, and holidays are being crammed into "less than one year". Suwa considers that approximately 250 days have passed [This was stated when the anime was at episode 880]<ref>[https://manga.tokyo/interview/interview-with-detective-conan-producer-michihiko-suwa-part-1 Interview]</ref> since Shinichi became Conan.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

<br />
=== Interchanged Betting Ticket Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Interchanged Betting Ticket Case|975-977]], Anime: [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|894-895]]) ===<br />
Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br />
Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi.

<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />

He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />

<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, she met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This may indicate that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, [[Amanda Hughes]] met Rum at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met Kohji Haneda at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an Annual General Meeting of the International Economic Forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

<hr />
<div>This is a '''timeline''' of all the events that occurred during the series as well as events prior to Shinichi's reversion into Conan. The years are listed in reference to the current storyline time in Detective Conan. <br />
<br />
According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Detective Conan operates on a [[floating timeline]], which means there is a severe but unavoidable contradiction between the amount of time characters claim has passed and how much time has apparently passed according to the reader. These contradictions make it impossible to realistically determine when certain events in the current timeline happened exactly, since 20+ years of cases, seasons, and holidays are being crammed into "less than one year". Suwa considers that approximately 250 days have passed [This was stated when the anime was at episode 880]<ref>[https://manga.tokyo/interview/interview-with-detective-conan-producer-michihiko-suwa-part-1 Interview]</ref> since Shinichi became Conan.<br />

<div>This is a '''timeline''' of all the events that occurred during the series as well as events prior to Shinichi's reversion into Conan. The years are listed in reference to the current storyline time in Detective Conan. <br />
<br />
According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Detective Conan operates on a [[floating timeline]], which means there is a severe but unavoidable contradiction between the amount of time characters claim has passed and how much time has apparently passed according to the reader. These contradictions make it impossible to realistically determine when certain events in the current timeline happened exactly, since 20+ years of cases, seasons, and holidays are being crammed into "less than one year". Suwa considers that approximately 250 days have passed [This was stated when the anime was at episode 880]<ref>[https://manga.tokyo/interview/interview-with-detective-conan-producer-michihiko-suwa-part-1 Interview]</ref> since Shinichi became Conan.<br />

The {{nihongo|'''Black Organization'''|黒の組織|Kuro no Soshiki}} serves as the main antagonist in the series. It is a secret criminal syndicate with a hidden objective. To achieve that goal, they commit various crimes to maintain its secrecy, remove obstacles, and gather funding and resources for its mysterious research projects. The members of the organization are given code names based on alcoholic beverages. The head is [[Renya Karasuma]] and the first members to appear were [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]], who were responsible for transforming [[Shinichi Kudo]] into a child with the enigmatic drug [[APTX 4869]]. They are the arch-enemy of [[Conan Edogawa]].<br />
<br />
== Members ==<br />
=== Current ===<br />
==== Executive members ====<br />
* '''[[Renya Karasuma]]''': The true central antagonist of the series. Thought to be dead, but is still alive at an age of over 140-year-old. Head of the Black Organization, he is the man at the center of it all, respectfully referred to as "that person" ("ano kata") by lower ranked members of the Black Organization.<br />
* '''[[Rum]]''': Second in charge of the Black Organization, he has the left eye artificial. He is actually disguised as [[Kanenori Wakita]].<br />
* '''[[Gin]]''': The chief administrator who is specialized in coordinating deals and assassinations. He is one of the most frequently recurring Black Organization characters. He is shown to be highly intelligent, lethal, and very acute. His long silver hair and sweeping trench coat give him a distinctive appearance. He forced the drug [[APTX 4869]] on Shinichi.<br />
* '''[[Vermouth]]''' (Sharon Vineyard/Chris Vineyard): A mysterious actress from America with exceptional disguise and voice changing abilities that allow her to pose as anyone. Like Gin, she is a Black Organization executive member.<ref>Conan Drill</ref> She is hated by a number of the members of the Black Organization, but due to the fact that she is their boss' favorite, she is untouchable and they are unable to do anything to her. It is unknown where her loyalty lies, as she often protects [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], whom she knows to be Shinichi, and calls him a "[[Silver Bullet]]", implying that she believes him to be capable of bringing down the Black Organization. She also does not seem to age.<br />
<br />
==== Other members ====<br />
* '''[[Vodka]]''': Managerial secretary of the Black Organization<ref name=CD237>Conan Drill page 237. Vodka's position is 全体監視役秘書係 which roughly translates to General Oversight division secretary.</ref> as Gin's partner, he is another frequently recurring Black Organization character. He wears a hat and sunglasses at all times. He is less intelligent compared to his boss Gin whom he often is seen working with.<br />
* '''[[Chianti]]''': A professional sniper who has been seen to take orders from Gin. She has a fiery and impatient personality. She loathes Vermouth.<br />
* '''[[Korn]]''': A professional sniper who is Chianti's partner and who has been seen to take orders from Gin. His speech is characterized by short phrases with many pauses.<br />
<br />
=== Spies for other organizations ===<br />
* '''[[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]]''': Operates under alias of Rena Mizunashi, a TV reporter. Her true name is Hidemi Hondou. Like her deceased father, she is actually a member of the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] who infiltrated the Black Organization. Her brother, [[Eisuke Hondou]], was not aware of this since Hidemi pretended not to know him after she went undercover.<br />
* '''[[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]''': An operative specializing in deduction and intelligence gathering skills. His true name is Rei Furuya, but he goes by Tooru Amuro in public. He was initially dispatched to look for Sherry, but spent more of that time investigating Shuichi Akai whom he hates for killing his partner Scotch. He works for the Japanese Secret Police.<br />
<br />
=== Deceased ===<br />
* '''[[Tequila]]''': An agent with the same rank as Vodka who seemed to primarily deal with programmers. He was a giant man who spoke with an Osakan accent. He was unintentionally killed in explosion.<br />

* '''[[Calvados]]''': A sniper infatuated with Vermouth who shot himself after being crippled by Shuichi Akai. <br />
* '''[[Akemi Miyano]]''': Shiho Miyano's older sister and Shuichi Akai's girlfriend. She was a low ranking member of the organization and completed a billion yen robbery as part of an agreement to release herself and her sister from the organization. The organization reneged on the deal and she was killed by Gin.<br />
* '''[[Atsushi Miyano]]''': Haibara's father and Elena's husband. He headed the APTX 4869 project before Shiho Miyano took over. Both he and Elena died for some reason which Pisco called an accident while Shiho was young. <br />
* '''[[Elena Miyano]]''': Haibara's mother and Atsushi's wife. She was of British origin and was known within the organization as "Hell's Angel". She worked the APTX 4869 project before Shiho Miyano took over. Both she and Atsushi died for some reason which Pisco called an accident while Shiho was young. She left some mysterious tapes for Shiho.<br />
* '''[[Rikumichi Kusuda]]''': An agent sent to infiltrate Haido Central Hospital to discover the whereabouts of Kir. He killed himself when Akai was hot on his trail.<br />
* '''[[Ethan Hondou]]''': A CIA agent who infiltrated the Black Organization. He committed suicide to protect his daughter Hidemi Hondou from being uncovered as a CIA agent.<br />
* '''[[Scotch]]''': An undercover operative who committed suicide before the Black Organization manages to reveal his true identity.<br />
<br />
=== Former ===<br />
* '''[[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]]''' ([[Ai Haibara]]/Shiho Miyano): A high ranking biochemist who worked on APTX 4869. She was scheduled to be executed when she boycotted her work because her sister Akemi was murdered. Shiho took an APTX 4869 pill she had smuggled in with her, with an intention to commit suicide, but instead shrunk to her 6-7 year old body. She then escaped. She has been living with Professor Agasa and working on an antidote to the APTX 4869, in order to restore Conan to his actual "Shinichi body".<br />
* '''[[Shuichi Akai|Rye]]''': The codename of Shuichi Akai, he was an undercover FBI agent who infiltrated the Black Organization. His allegiance was discovered and he was rejected by the organization. His prowess led the organization to view him as the FBI's trump card.<br />
* '''[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]]''': A serial killer whom was slated to be the original test subject for the APTX drug before he escaped. He is currently in custody for murders he has committed, mostly in fear of the Black Organization sending agents after him. In the end, the court sentences him to death.<br />

== Organization structure and divisions ==<br />
There are many divisions in the Black Organization which are roughly grouped into three categories: {{nihongo|Internal Division|内部活動部隊|Naibu Katsudō-butai}}, {{nihongo|External Division|外部活動部隊|Gaibu Katsudō-butai}}, and {{nihongo|General Oversight|全体監視役|Zentai Kanshi-yaku}}. The external division is composed of agents who primarily deal with people outside the organization. The known internal division agents are focused on in-house research and development. General oversight takes a managerial and coordinating role. The divisions are unrelated to relative ranking among members.<ref>Conan Drill page 237</ref> (e.g Vermouth is higher ranking than Vodka.)<br />

<br />
== Rank ==<br />
Agents who excel at their work and make their way up the ranks are given alcohol codenames by the boss. Even within codenamed agents there are further rank divisions.<ref>Official material accompanying the manga has given contrary information about the existence of ranks within the codenamed members. Some guidebooks (Conan Drill, Chapter 500 special) describe clear rank divisions. Yet, in the 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet, on pg9 under Korn, Gosho was listed as saying, "Fundamentally all members of the organization with code names are supposed to be at the same level, so Korn's supposed to be at the same rank as Gin. It just happened this time that when they chanced to form a team Gin came out as the most leader-like of all them." Evidence from the manga itself suggests that certain members have privileges and freedom that others are not allowed to have.</ref> One advantage that comes with being higher ranked is access to more informational files; lower rank agents have to request to see certain materials from higher ranking agents.<ref name=824p16>Manga Volume 78, File 7 (824), Page 16: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> Agents from outside manga canon are italicized.<br />
<br />
=== Executive agents ===<br />
The "Executive"<ref>Manga Volume 58, File 2 (599), pg 9: "Akai's past". "Executive" is a term used by the FBI to describe the agents who are high ranking like Gin and is not necessarily the term the Organization itself uses to refer to that top level.</ref> agents are the highest ranked codenamed agents within the Black Organization under the boss. They can command many other codenamed agents and have access to more information than lower ranked agents. Even among them, killing another executive agent without express orders from the boss would result in a loss of standing.<ref>As Pisco explains to Gin in Volume 24, file 11, page 14</ref><br />
* [[Rum]]: Second-in-command<ref>File 906 pg 3</ref><br />
* [[Gin]]<br />
* [[Vermouth]]: The boss' favorite<br />
* [[Pisco]]<ref>[[:File:ConanDrill239.jpg|Conan Drill page 239]]</ref><br />
<br />
=== Codenamed agents ===<br />
Agents who have excelled beyond the rank and file member enough earn recognition and an alcohol codename.<br />

== Modus operandi ==<br />
The Black Organization commits crimes such as illegal deals<ref>Manga Volume 4, Files 4-6: Shinkansen Bomb Case</ref>, blackmail<ref>Manga Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"</ref>, robberies<ref>Manga Volume 2, Files 4-7: "Masami Hirota Case"</ref>, and contract assassinations<ref>Manga Volume 37, File 5</ref> to raise money for research.<ref>The Miyano parents went to work for the Black Organization because they received funding after being unable to find a sponsor that would pay for them to research their theories. Tequila bribed Hideaki Nakajima with a large amount of money for the world's best programmers. [[Suguru Itakura]] was offered a large sum of money to complete his program</ref> The organization operates like a hybrid of a business and a mafia group. The Black Organization recruits outside talent and cultivates clients and sponsors by sending high ranking members like Gin to business meetings, but they also use mafia-like tactics to intimidate desirable civilians into making deals with them.<ref>e.g. Suguru Itakura</ref> Besides their financially motivated crimes, the organization engages in other stereotypical criminal activities like bribery, spying, and eliminating threats or former partners who are deemed useless or a risk.<br />
<br />
=== Customs ===<br />
[[Image:Generic BOs.png|thumb|right|200px|Agents dress in black.]]<br />
The organization is highly secretive, and tries to eliminate anyone who has knowledge of their existence and threatens to expose their inner workings, including members who have become a liability, such as Akemi Miyano. They will dispose of even senior members like Pisco without hesitation to protect their secrets. Remaining unknown seems to be a higher priority than even research as Ai Haibara thought Conan would be killed before he could be “studied”.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, pg 7: "The girl made of lies" - "If I reported your condition to the organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." Haibara, explaining that Kudo would have been killed by the Black Organization anyway even though he was an "interesting specimen."</ref> The organization often destroys evidence via fire or explosion<ref>List of examples: the shinkansen bomb case, destruction of the Daiko Building's cocktail bar where meetings took place, destruction of the pharmaceutical company building Shiho worked at, Vermouth's assassination of Jodie's father and subsequent burning down of the house</ref> and Haibara warns that they will not hesitate to kill family and friends of a target to protect the secret of their existence.<br />
<br />
The organization has several practices that resemble those of stereotypical secret societies.<ref>Conan Drill, Black Organization Section, pgs 250-252. Among the sources of inspiration for the Black Org, the [[Wikipedia: Freemasons|Freemasons]] (フリーメイソン), the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], and others that were not translated are mentioned for their secret-society-like aspects. The host dummy in the Sunset Manor case wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the KKK.</ref> The Black Organization members all tend to wear black outfits, which Akemi says is intentional and supposed to resemble [[Crow|crows]]. For an as of yet unrevealed reason, nearly all the Black Organization's members (with the exception of the boss) use code names based on alcoholic drinks: hard liquors for men and wine or wine-based cocktails for women. Also it would appear the organization is also fond using detective fiction and classic literature in their project names and passwords. Examples include the APTX 4869 pun on Sherlock Holmes, the computer password Shelling Ford - a prototype name for [[Sherlock Holmes]], a computer virus called [[Night Baron]] named after a character from mystery writer [[Yusaku Kudo]]'s novels, and mission codenames relating to the novel ''[[Wikipedia: Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Criminal techniques ===<br />
The Black Organization conducts its crimes in ways that are difficult to trace back to them. Handguns and sniping<ref>Akemi Miyano, Suguru Itakura, Yasuteru Domon, Kogoro Mouri, Scar Akai</ref>, fire and bombs<ref>Unnamed woman from the Shinkansen Bomb Case, the Bell Tree Express, Kir in Hyde Central Hospital</ref>, and poisons<ref>Shinichi Kudo, the giant of the Akemi's gang, various APTX 4869 victims, Shigehiko Nomiguchi, maybe the Jazz club man.</ref> seem to be their preferred techniques. Sometimes the organization attempts to disguise their murders as accidents or suicides.<ref>Shigehiko Nomiguchi</ref> To this end, APTX 4869 was deployed as a poison because it is forensically difficult to detect.<ref>Manga Volume 1, File 1 (001), "The Heisei Holmes"</ref> If they are unable to disguise a murder as something else, they will usually attempt to destroy any evidence using fire or explosives to make it difficult to investigate.<ref>Starling family murders, Shuichi Akai's "murder"</ref> Sometimes they will time their crimes so the blame will fall on another party instead, confusing the investigation.<ref>Yasuteru Domon</ref> If a meeting place or asset of theirs is compromised, the Black Organization typically thoroughly destroys it before it can be investigated properly.<ref>Daiko Building ("Cocktail" Bar), Shiho's Pharmaceutical Company</ref><br />
<br />
Their supplies of explosives and firearms are very extensive.<br />
<br />
=== Locations and hideouts ===<br />
The Black Organization seems to have hideouts,<ref name=383p11>Manga Volume 38, File 1 (383), pg 11: "The New Weapon!"</ref> but none of them have been revealed so far. In line with their secretive existence, the Black Organization prefers to meet in places that are isolated or where they can slip away easily. Several operatives occupy public positions like famous actress (Vermouth), television announcer (Kir), or company chairman (Pisco) which gives the Black Organization connections to circles of the rich and famous and access to otherwise unavailable locations. So far, the Black Organization have met clients at a dim restaurant, a Shinkansen's dining car, a crowded wake, a train station under construction, and in an isolated area of an amusement park. The Black Organization often conducts business and meetings at the shipping yard.<ref>Akemi's murder, Showdown with Vermouth, planning for the Domon assassination?, Kir's call to Akai.</ref> Not very many member's abodes have been shown, but they range in extravagance from Kir's relatively plain apartment to Vermouth's lavish penthouse in a tall building.<br />
<br />
=== Personnel ===<br />
The Organization is large enough to quickly dispatch field investigative teams of at least a dozen members<ref>Episode 129, where the Kudo house is investigated, Vodka surrounding Itakura's meeting point, the team watching Gin and Kir's meetup location is FBI vs Org.</ref>. The members of the Organization are also demographically varied, including foreigners and natives, men and women, teenagers<ref>Sherry</ref> and elderly.<ref>Pisco at 71, old man from episode 502</ref><br />
<br />
Individually, the organization's higher ranking members are typically intelligent and often multitalented. So far, at least all senior members are shown to carry guns and wear body armor under their clothing when out. Many agents, even those outside the assassination divisions, are skilled at using firearms. Disguise is a particularly common skill. Both Gin and Vermouth were shown to be resistant to Conan's tranquilizer needle<ref>Manga Chapter 242: The White World</ref> and knockout gas<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple</ref>and subsequently both readily shot themselves in order to continue to stay awake. This may show that they have trained themselves to resist knockout effects to prevent capture and cope with pain.<br />
<br />
=== Investigative ability ===<br />
The Black Organization has a remarkable amount of resources for a criminal group, more than any other opponent of Conan's shown so far. Their financial resources, technology, and manpower seems to be on par with or even superior to the that of the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] investigation team sent to Japan to investigate them, but less than the Japanese police. The Black Organization has enough manpower at their disposal to thoroughly monitor and investigate even minor threats or to observe all the avenues of entry to a crowded meeting place in the middle of a city. However, the organization is nowhere close to omniscient; Shinichi, who is supposed to be dead, was able to participate in several public cases that were successfully hushed up by the police, and leave the country with his passport without detection.<br />
<br />
=== Gadgets ===<br />
:''[[Minor gadgets#Black Organization|Main article: Black Organization's Gadgets]]''<br />
The Black Organization is technologically sophisticated and their equipment rivals even that of the infiltrating FBI. In the manga they have access to a wide variety of firearms and ammunition, [[vehicles]], theatrical supplies, and large amounts of various explosives. Bourbon and Vermouth even planned to use a helicopter as part of one of their plans. The Black Organization's arsenal also includes various specialized gadgets.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
{{main|Black Organization timeline}}<br />
The Black Organization’s main research project, of which APTX 4869 is a part, has been around for at least half a century.<ref>Haibara thinks thinking to herself… "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century." (file 189, but see the ep 130/131 for a better translation) APTX 4869 is the only known connection between the org and Shinichi so Haibara must be referring to the APTX project.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 19, File 9</ref> The Black Organization has historical ties to America before the current storyline. Evidence for this is the involvement of the FBI and CIA in counter operations. Also, Jodie mentions that her father in the FBI was investigating Vermouth as Sharon Vineyard twenty years ago.<ref>Chapter 433</ref><br />
<br />
== Goal and research ==<br />
As of now, the Black Organization's main purpose and goal still remain unknown. What is known is that they are recruiting talent in biochemistry and computer science and funding research using the proceeds from their crime. Currently, the only sources of information Conan can rely on to learn the true intentions behind the Black Organization are former agent Sherry, the CIA's undercover member Kir, and Black Organization related cases.<br />
<br />
=== APTX 4869 and biochemistry ===<br />
:''See also: [[APTX 4869]]''<br />
The Black Organization has a long history of biochemistry research. Thirty years before Conan was shrunk, they recruited Atsushi Miyano and Elena Miyano to work on research for them. Eventually, the two scientists developed a project they called Silver Bullet. Not long after the two died in what some members of the Organization called an accident and their daughter, Shiho Miyano, took over research on the APTX 4869 project. Although APTX 4869 was being developed for another, still secret, purpose, the Organization is using the incomplete prototype as an untraceable, lethal poison.<br />
<br />
The Organization's project data for APTX 4869 contains important secrets. One disk Haibara and Conan tried to retrieve had real names, addresses, and codenames of agents, and the name of the person/people who invested money for the research.<ref>Manga Volume 19, File 1, pg 16: "Why..."</ref> Haibara made a copy of some of the APTX 4869 data when she was locked in a room with Pisco's computer, but then lied to Conan about losing it.<ref>In episode 188 (file 251), Haibara has the bloody disk of copied APTX 4869 data from episode 178. She had lied to Conan about losing it.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Computer research and viruses ===<br />
Another part of the Organization's research requires the skills of world class programmers. It is known the Black Organization has involvement with computer viruses (Night Baron); however, the main purpose of their computer science research may be something other than virii and related to their biochemistry research. Hideaki Nakajima made an exchange with Tequila in episode 54, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. Vermouth and Tequila also blackmailed a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer named Suguru Itakura to complete a particular “system software” Itakura had stopped developing because of bad eyesight. Whatever it is, it prompted the coerced programmer Suguru Itakura to say that he didn’t want to complete his program “for the sake of humanity”.<ref>Manga chapter 380, pg 12</ref><br />

<br />
=== Speculation about the Black Organization's goal ===<br />
==== Immortality/Anti-Aging ====<br />
[[File:EP223-guestbook.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shiho Miyano's name is in a guestbook logging past contestants for the immortality arrows.]]<br />
One possibility is that the Black Organization's research, especially APTX 4869 development, is trying to create a therapy which will cause immortality, stall or reverse the effects of aging, or extend a human's lifespan. Gosho has said that immortality is not the ultimate goal of the Black Organization<ref name="April2014Interview">Leaked interview notes from the May issue of the magazine 「ダ・ヴィンチ」 (da Vinci) with the fans/reporters/whatever, leaked April 15, 2014<br><br />
Source: http://ddnavi.com/news/191132/<br><br />
黒ずくめの組織の目的とはナニ？ APTX4869の作用から考えると、不老不死が怪しいのでは……。<br><br />
Please! Please, let me ask 2 more questions! What is the BO’s goal? Going by the APTX4869, I would think immortality…<br><br />
【青山】「違います。確かにそう思っちゃうよね。今ね、組織の中では大変なことが起こっていますよ」<br><br />
That’s wrong. It’s true that you’d think that, isn’t it? You see, right now, something really big is happening within the organization.</ref>; however, achieving immortality or anti-aging might be an important step to reach the true end.<br />
<br />
Shiho Miyano said that, in developing APTX 4869, she didn't intend to create a poison,<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, page 9</ref> which suggests that APTX 4869 was originally developed with a different goal in mind. It probably was just a useful side effect that the current prototype kills while leaving no trace in the victim’s body, and was thus employed as a poison - a usage which Haibara detests.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, pg 9</ref> Additionally, APTX 4869 is nicknamed the "''incomplete'' detective" by the Black Organization, which means its true purpose has not yet been achieved.<br />
<br />
The de-aging effect that occurred when Shinichi and Haibara took APTX 4869 probably indicates the main intent of the drug's development. After Pisco saw Haibara shrink back to her child form, he commented that he was impressed she had developed the drug to that point, implying that de-aging is in the right direction.<ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11, pg 9</ref> Supporting this is Haibara’s line, "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century."<ref>Manga Volume 19, File 9 (189), Page 6: The Endangered Ball; Episodes 130-131: The Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case</ref> APTX 4869 is the only known intersection between Shinichi and the Black Organization; meaning that Shinichi's de-aging made him relevant to the Black Organization's project.<br />
<br />
According to Haibara’s description about APTX 4869<ref>Manga Volume 24, File 10</ref>, the drug activates [[Wikipedia: telomerase|telomerase]], an enzyme which can increase the number of times a cell can divide, and therefore affect a cell's lifespan and “reproductive potential”. The goal of this might be to revert all non-neural cells to a "youthful", high reproductive potential state.<br />
<br />
Besides APTX 4869, Vermouth's unnatural youth is another indicator that the Black Organization may be involved in research towards extending lifespan, halting aging, or rejuvenating the body. In addition, Shiho Miyano’s name was on the raffle list for the immortality arrows in the mermaid case in Fukui.<ref>Chapters 279-283</ref><br />
<br />
==== Raising the dead ====<br />
There is a possibility that the Black Organization may be trying to develop a method to revive the dead. Suguru Itakura's diary contained a quote by one of the Black Organization's agents, most likely Vermouth: "We can be both God and Devil since we are trying to raise the dead against the stream of time."<ref name=380p13/> The original purpose of APTX 4869 might be to raise the dead. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and Conan later wondered if the line meant that the Black Organization was trying to create zombies.<ref name=380p16>Manga Volume 37, File 8, pg 16: "White Snow, Black Shadow"</ref> Once when Conan asked Haibara directly what APTX 4869 was meant to do she replied, "It's a nostrum to raise the dead. I wonder if that answer is satisfactory?."<ref name=384p8>Manga Volume 32, File 8, page 8: "The Old Picture"</ref> It may be her comment was a bluff intended to provoke Conan into revealing what he had been up to rather than a serious statement of the purpose of the drug.<br />
<!--<br />
==== "Something really big going on" ====<br />
In a April 2014 interview just before manga file 894 was released,<ref name="April2014Interview"/> [[Gosho Aoyama]] said that "You see, right now, something really big is happening within the organization." The nature of this major event is completely unknown, but the timing and context of this information reveal suggests that perhaps Rum or the true goal has some connection.<br />
--><br />
== Known Black Organization targets and contacts ==<br />
{{main|List of Black Organization related characters}}<br />
The Black Organization has involved many non-members in its plots, as collaborators or as targets. Additionally, many characters are friends or acquaintances with members of the Black Organization, often without realizing it.<br />
<br />
== Plot timeline ==<br />
{{main|Black Organization timeline}}<br />
<br />
== Manga to anime differences ==<br />
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br />
The first season of Detective Conan rarely featured the Black Organization because the anime writers wanted to downplay their presence.<ref>[http://www.tv.com/case-closed/mystery-mastermind/episode/336019/trivia.html#notes Episode trivia on TV.com]</ref> Two of the episodes at least, were altered heavily in light of this:<br />
<br />
* '''[[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Episode 5]]''': The episode replaces the two men who shrunk Conan with lookalikes Ueda and Shimoda, unrelated to the Black Organization. In the manga version of this case, Conan runs into the real pair and learns their code names (Gin/Vodka in the Japanese Version, Melkior and Kaspar in the English Version). Their replacement creates a continuity error in [[Game Company Murder Case|episode 54]]. Conan recognizes their code names when Tequila speaks to them, yet Conan never learned their code names in the anime version of events.<br />
<br />
* '''[[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Episode 13]]''': At the end of the episode, Masami Hirota meets with the criminal in charge the recent murders. She survives a gunshot wound thanks to Conan. In the manga version, which is in volume 2, the masterminds are Gin and Vodka. Masami is actually Akemi Miyano, and stole the money to buy her sister out of the organization. Upon refusal to give the money's location to Gin, he shoots her. Conan arrives shortly after, and tries to help Akemi. He gives her his real name, and before dying she tells Conan the location of the money and that the organization who killed her wears black like crows. The anime had to do a similar story in [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]], in order to repair the storyline because Akemi's death is what prompted Shiho Miyano to defect from the Organization.<br />
<br />
== Relation to the organization from Magic Kaito ==<br />
:''See also: [[Magic Kaito Organization]]''<br />
It is questionable if the Detective Conan's Black Organization and [[Magic Kaito]]'s [[Magic Kaito Organization|unnamed organization]] are the same organization. The member of the magic Kaito organization that claimed responsibility for killing [[Toichi Kuroba]] eight years ago is referred to as [[Snake]]<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Blue Birthday|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=140}}</ref>, a nickname that doesn't fit in with the codenames of the Black Organization, suggesting they are two separate groups. This though may not be the case if Snake refers to [[Wikipedia: Snake wine|Snake wine]], but because [[Kaitou Kid]]'s origins have yet to be reexplained within the Detective Conan story, this is only speculation.<br />
<br />
Additionally the members of the Magic Kaito Organization are looking for a magical gem called [[Pandora]]. The magical nature of Magic Kaito and its organization's search does not mesh with the non-magical setting of Detective Conan.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
[[File:Demon.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan against the demon.]]<br />
* This crime organization enshrouded in mystery, and even other unrelated case, is sometimes introduced with crows, the creepy bird which is also depicted on their head's crest. The Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.<br />
* The cars and motorcycles of all Black Organization's members in the anime version have Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate, then their founding location is somewhere in Tokyo.<br />
* Their central role as the hero's archnemesis is just like the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 23, file 10; anime episode 156.</ref> and [[Wikipedia: Minamoto no Yoritomo|Yoritomo]]'s pursuing party in the book ''Yoshitsune Chronicles''.<ref>Movie 7: "Crossroad in the Ancient Capital".</ref><br />
* As a their traitor who could died, Haibara compares herself to [[Wikipedia: Marie Antoinette|Marie Antoinette]], the beautiful French princess who met her end at the guillotine, so they are like the French revolutionars.<ref>Manga Volume 29, File 6 (290), Anime Episode 233</ref><br />
* While chasing down leads on their organization, Conan is constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction of [[The Last Wizard of the Century|movie 3]], on a Greek palace ruins at night, he is suddenly attacked by a big red demon with evil aura from many yellow stratus, of course the Black Organization behind all minor criminals.<br />

The {{nihongo|'''Black Organization'''|黒の組織|Kuro no Soshiki}} serves as the main antagonist in the series. It is a secret criminal syndicate with a hidden objective. To achieve that goal, they commit various crimes to maintain its secrecy, remove obstacles, and gather funding and resources for its mysterious research projects. The members of the organization are given code names based on alcoholic beverages. The head is [[Renya Karasuma]] and the first members to appear were [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]], who were responsible for transforming [[Shinichi Kudo]] into a child with the enigmatic drug [[APTX 4869]]. They are the arch-enemy of [[Conan Edogawa]].<br />
<br />
== Members ==<br />
=== Current ===<br />

Like Gin, she is a Black Organization executive member.<ref>Conan Drill</ref> She is hated by a number of the members of the Black Organization, but due to the fact that she is their boss' favorite, she is untouchable and they are unable to do anything to her. It is unknown where her loyalty lies, as she often protects [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], whom she knows to be Shinichi, and calls him a "[[Silver Bullet]]", implying that she believes him to be capable of bringing down the Black Organization. She also does not seem to age.<br />
<br />
==== Other members ====<br />
* '''[[Vodka]]''': Managerial secretary of the Black Organization<ref name=CD237>Conan Drill page 237. Vodka's position is 全体監視役秘書係 which roughly translates to General Oversight division secretary.</ref> as Gin's partner, he is another frequently recurring Black Organization character.

She worked the APTX 4869 project before Shiho Miyano took over. Both she and Atsushi died for some reason which Pisco called an accident while Shiho was young. She left some mysterious tapes for Shiho.<br />
* '''[[Rikumichi Kusuda]]''': An agent sent to infiltrate Haido Central Hospital to discover the whereabouts of Kir. He killed himself when Akai was hot on his trail.<br />

== Organization structure and divisions ==<br />
There are many divisions in the Black Organization which are roughly grouped into three categories: {{nihongo|Internal Division|内部活動部隊|Naibu Katsudō-butai}}, {{nihongo|External Division|外部活動部隊|Gaibu Katsudō-butai}}, and {{nihongo|General Oversight|全体監視役|Zentai Kanshi-yaku}}. The external division is composed of agents who primarily deal with people outside the organization. The known internal division agents are focused on in-house research and development. General oversight takes a managerial and coordinating role. The divisions are unrelated to relative ranking among members.<ref>Conan Drill page 237</ref> (e.g Vermouth is higher ranking than Vodka.)<br />

<br />
== Rank ==<br />
Agents who excel at their work and make their way up the ranks are given alcohol codenames by the boss. Even within codenamed agents there are further rank divisions.<ref>Official material accompanying the manga has given contrary information about the existence of ranks within the codenamed members. Some guidebooks (Conan Drill, Chapter 500 special) describe clear rank divisions. Yet, in the 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet, on pg9 under Korn, Gosho was listed as saying, "Fundamentally all members of the organization with code names are supposed to be at the same level, so Korn's supposed to be at the same rank as Gin. It just happened this time that when they chanced to form a team Gin came out as the most leader-like of all them." Evidence from the manga itself suggests that certain members have privileges and freedom that others are not allowed to have.</ref> One advantage that comes with being higher ranked is access to more informational files; lower rank agents have to request to see certain materials from higher ranking agents.<ref name=824p16>Manga Volume 78, File 7 (824), Page 16: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> Agents from outside manga canon are italicized.<br />
<br />
=== Executive agents ===<br />
The "Executive"<ref>Manga Volume 58, File 2 (599), pg 9: "Akai's past". "Executive" is a term used by the FBI to describe the agents who are high ranking like Gin and is not necessarily the term the Organization itself uses to refer to that top level.</ref> agents are the highest ranked codenamed agents within the Black Organization under the boss. They can command many other codenamed agents and have access to more information than lower ranked agents. Even among them, killing another executive agent without express orders from the boss would result in a loss of standing.<ref>As Pisco explains to Gin in Volume 24, file 11, page 14</ref><br />

== Modus operandi ==<br />
The Black Organization commits crimes such as illegal deals<ref>Manga Volume 4, Files 4-6: Shinkansen Bomb Case</ref>, blackmail<ref>Manga Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"</ref>, robberies<ref>Manga Volume 2, Files 4-7: "Masami Hirota Case"</ref>, and contract assassinations<ref>Manga Volume 37, File 5</ref> to raise money for research.<ref>The Miyano parents went to work for the Black Organization because they received funding after being unable to find a sponsor that would pay for them to research their theories. Tequila bribed Hideaki Nakajima with a large amount of money for the world's best programmers. [[Suguru Itakura]] was offered a large sum of money to complete his program</ref> The organization operates like a hybrid of a business and a mafia group. The Black Organization recruits outside talent and cultivates clients and sponsors by sending high ranking members like Gin to business meetings, but they also use mafia-like tactics to intimidate desirable civilians into making deals with them.<ref>e.g. Suguru Itakura</ref> Besides their financially motivated crimes, the organization engages in other stereotypical criminal activities like bribery, spying, and eliminating threats or former partners who are deemed useless or a risk.<br />
<br />
=== Customs ===<br />
[[Image:Generic BOs.png|thumb|right|200px|Agents dress in black.]]<br />
The organization is highly secretive, and tries to eliminate anyone who has knowledge of their existence and threatens to expose their inner workings, including members who have become a liability, such as Akemi Miyano. They will dispose of even senior members like Pisco without hesitation to protect their secrets. Remaining unknown seems to be a higher priority than even research as Ai Haibara thought Conan would be killed before he could be “studied”.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, pg 7: "The girl made of lies" - "If I reported your condition to the organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." Haibara, explaining that Kudo would have been killed by the Black Organization anyway even though he was an "interesting specimen."</ref> The organization often destroys evidence via fire or explosion<ref>List of examples: the shinkansen bomb case, destruction of the Daiko Building's cocktail bar where meetings took place, destruction of the pharmaceutical company building Shiho worked at, Vermouth's assassination of Jodie's father and subsequent burning down of the house</ref> and Haibara warns that they will not hesitate to kill family and friends of a target to protect the secret of their existence.<br />
<br />
The organization has several practices that resemble those of stereotypical secret societies.<ref>Conan Drill, Black Organization Section, pgs 250-252. Among the sources of inspiration for the Black Org, the [[Wikipedia: Freemasons|Freemasons]] (フリーメイソン), the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], and others that were not translated are mentioned for their secret-society-like aspects. The host dummy in the Sunset Manor case wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the KKK.</ref> The Black Organization members all tend to wear black outfits, which Akemi says is intentional and supposed to resemble [[Crow|crows]]. For an as of yet unrevealed reason, nearly all the Black Organization's members (with the exception of the boss) use code names based on alcoholic drinks: hard liquors for men and wine or wine-based cocktails for women. Also it would appear the organization is also fond using detective fiction and classic literature in their project names and passwords. Examples include the APTX 4869 pun on Sherlock Holmes, the computer password Shelling Ford - a prototype name for [[Sherlock Holmes]], a computer virus called [[Night Baron]] named after a character from mystery writer [[Yusaku Kudo]]'s novels, and mission codenames relating to the novel ''[[Wikipedia: Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Criminal techniques ===<br />
The Black Organization conducts its crimes in ways that are difficult to trace back to them. Handguns and sniping<ref>Akemi Miyano, Suguru Itakura, Yasuteru Domon, Kogoro Mouri, Scar Akai</ref>, fire and bombs<ref>Unnamed woman from the Shinkansen Bomb Case, the Bell Tree Express, Kir in Hyde Central Hospital</ref>, and poisons<ref>Shinichi Kudo, the giant of the Akemi's gang, various APTX 4869 victims, Shigehiko Nomiguchi, maybe the Jazz club man.</ref> seem to be their preferred techniques. Sometimes the organization attempts to disguise their murders as accidents or suicides.<ref>Shigehiko Nomiguchi</ref> To this end, APTX 4869 was deployed as a poison because it is forensically difficult to detect.<ref>Manga Volume 1, File 1 (001), "The Heisei Holmes"</ref> If they are unable to disguise a murder as something else, they will usually attempt to destroy any evidence using fire or explosives to make it difficult to investigate.<ref>Starling family murders, Shuichi Akai's "murder"</ref> Sometimes they will time their crimes so the blame will fall on another party instead, confusing the investigation.<ref>Yasuteru Domon</ref> If a meeting place or asset of theirs is compromised, the Black Organization typically thoroughly destroys it before it can be investigated properly.<ref>Daiko Building ("Cocktail" Bar), Shiho's Pharmaceutical Company</ref><br />
<br />
Their supplies of explosives and firearms are very extensive.<br />
<br />
=== Locations and hideouts ===<br />
The Black Organization seems to have hideouts,<ref name=383p11>Manga Volume 38, File 1 (383), pg 11: "The New Weapon!"</ref> but none of them have been revealed so far. In line with their secretive existence, the Black Organization prefers to meet in places that are isolated or where they can slip away easily. Several operatives occupy public positions like famous actress (Vermouth), television announcer (Kir), or company chairman (Pisco) which gives the Black Organization connections to circles of the rich and famous and access to otherwise unavailable locations. So far, the Black Organization have met clients at a dim restaurant, a Shinkansen's dining car, a crowded wake, a train station under construction, and in an isolated area of an amusement park. The Black Organization often conducts business and meetings at the shipping yard.<ref>Akemi's murder, Showdown with Vermouth, planning for the Domon assassination?, Kir's call to Akai.</ref> Not very many member's abodes have been shown, but they range in extravagance from Kir's relatively plain apartment to Vermouth's lavish penthouse in a tall building.<br />
<br />
=== Personnel ===<br />
The Organization is large enough to quickly dispatch field investigative teams of at least a dozen members<ref>Episode 129, where the Kudo house is investigated, Vodka surrounding Itakura's meeting point, the team watching Gin and Kir's meetup location is FBI vs Org.</ref>. The members of the Organization are also demographically varied, including foreigners and natives, men and women, teenagers<ref>Sherry</ref> and elderly.<ref>Pisco at 71, old man from episode 502</ref><br />
<br />
Individually, the organization's higher ranking members are typically intelligent and often multitalented. So far, at least all senior members are shown to carry guns and wear body armor under their clothing when out. Many agents, even those outside the assassination divisions, are skilled at using firearms. Disguise is a particularly common skill. Both Gin and Vermouth were shown to be resistant to Conan's tranquilizer needle<ref>Manga Chapter 242: The White World</ref> and knockout gas<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple</ref>and subsequently both readily shot themselves in order to continue to stay awake. This may show that they have trained themselves to resist knockout effects to prevent capture and cope with pain.<br />
<br />
=== Investigative ability ===<br />
The Black Organization has a remarkable amount of resources for a criminal group, more than any other opponent of Conan's shown so far. Their financial resources, technology, and manpower seems to be on par with or even superior to the that of the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] investigation team sent to Japan to investigate them, but less than the Japanese police. The Black Organization has enough manpower at their disposal to thoroughly monitor and investigate even minor threats or to observe all the avenues of entry to a crowded meeting place in the middle of a city. However, the organization is nowhere close to omniscient; Shinichi, who is supposed to be dead, was able to participate in several public cases that were successfully hushed up by the police, and leave the country with his passport without detection.<br />
<br />
=== Gadgets ===<br />
:''[[Minor gadgets#Black Organization|Main article: Black Organization's Gadgets]]''<br />
The Black Organization is technologically sophisticated and their equipment rivals even that of the infiltrating FBI. In the manga they have access to a wide variety of firearms and ammunition, [[vehicles]], theatrical supplies, and large amounts of various explosives. Bourbon and Vermouth even planned to use a helicopter as part of one of their plans. The Black Organization's arsenal also includes various specialized gadgets.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
{{main|Black Organization timeline}}<br />
The Black Organization’s main research project, of which APTX 4869 is a part, has been around for at least half a century.<ref>Haibara thinks thinking to herself… "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century." (file 189, but see the ep 130/131 for a better translation) APTX 4869 is the only known connection between the org and Shinichi so Haibara must be referring to the APTX project.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 19, File 9</ref> The Black Organization has historical ties to America before the current storyline. Evidence for this is the involvement of the FBI and CIA in counter operations. Also, Jodie mentions that her father in the FBI was investigating Vermouth as Sharon Vineyard twenty years ago.<ref>Chapter 433</ref><br />
<br />
== Goal and research ==<br />
As of now, the Black Organization's main purpose and goal still remain unknown. What is known is that they are recruiting talent in biochemistry and computer science and funding research using the proceeds from their crime. Currently, the only sources of information Conan can rely on to learn the true intentions behind the Black Organization are former agent Sherry, the CIA's undercover member Kir, and Black Organization related cases.<br />
<br />
=== APTX 4869 and biochemistry ===<br />
:''See also: [[APTX 4869]]''<br />
The Black Organization has a long history of biochemistry research. Thirty years before Conan was shrunk, they recruited Atsushi Miyano and Elena Miyano to work on research for them. Eventually, the two scientists developed a project they called Silver Bullet. Not long after the two died in what some members of the Organization called an accident and their daughter, Shiho Miyano, took over research on the APTX 4869 project. Although APTX 4869 was being developed for another, still secret, purpose, the Organization is using the incomplete prototype as an untraceable, lethal poison.<br />
<br />
The Organization's project data for APTX 4869 contains important secrets. One disk Haibara and Conan tried to retrieve had real names, addresses, and codenames of agents, and the name of the person/people who invested money for the research.<ref>Manga Volume 19, File 1, pg 16: "Why..."</ref> Haibara made a copy of some of the APTX 4869 data when she was locked in a room with Pisco's computer, but then lied to Conan about losing it.<ref>In episode 188 (file 251), Haibara has the bloody disk of copied APTX 4869 data from episode 178. She had lied to Conan about losing it.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Computer research and viruses ===<br />
Another part of the Organization's research requires the skills of world class programmers. It is known the Black Organization has involvement with computer viruses (Night Baron); however, the main purpose of their computer science research may be something other than virii and related to their biochemistry research. Hideaki Nakajima made an exchange with Tequila in episode 54, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. Vermouth and Tequila also blackmailed a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer named Suguru Itakura to complete a particular “system software” Itakura had stopped developing because of bad eyesight. Whatever it is, it prompted the coerced programmer Suguru Itakura to say that he didn’t want to complete his program “for the sake of humanity”.<ref>Manga chapter 380, pg 12</ref><br />

=== Speculation about the Black Organization's goal ===<br />
==== Immortality/Anti-Aging ====<br />
[[File:EP223-guestbook.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shiho Miyano's name is in a guestbook logging past contestants for the immortality arrows.]]<br />
One possibility is that the Black Organization's research, especially APTX 4869 development, is trying to create a therapy which will cause immortality, stall or reverse the effects of aging, or extend a human's lifespan. Gosho has said that immortality is not the ultimate goal of the Black Organization<ref name="April2014Interview">Leaked interview notes from the May issue of the magazine 「ダ・ヴィンチ」 (da Vinci) with the fans/reporters/whatever, leaked April 15, 2014<br><br />
Source: http://ddnavi.com/news/191132/<br><br />
黒ずくめの組織の目的とはナニ？ APTX4869の作用から考えると、不老不死が怪しいのでは……。<br><br />
Please! Please, let me ask 2 more questions! What is the BO’s goal? Going by the APTX4869, I would think immortality…<br><br />
【青山】「違います。確かにそう思っちゃうよね。今ね、組織の中では大変なことが起こっていますよ」<br><br />
That’s wrong. It’s true that you’d think that, isn’t it? You see, right now, something really big is happening within the organization.</ref>; however, achieving immortality or anti-aging might be an important step to reach the true end.<br />
<br />
Shiho Miyano said that, in developing APTX 4869, she didn't intend to create a poison,<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, page 9</ref> which suggests that APTX 4869 was originally developed with a different goal in mind. It probably was just a useful side effect that the current prototype kills while leaving no trace in the victim’s body, and was thus employed as a poison - a usage which Haibara detests.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, pg 9</ref> Additionally, APTX 4869 is nicknamed the "''incomplete'' detective" by the Black Organization, which means its true purpose has not yet been achieved.<br />
<br />
The de-aging effect that occurred when Shinichi and Haibara took APTX 4869 probably indicates the main intent of the drug's development. After Pisco saw Haibara shrink back to her child form, he commented that he was impressed she had developed the drug to that point, implying that de-aging is in the right direction.<ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11, pg 9</ref> Supporting this is Haibara’s line, "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century."<ref>Manga Volume 19, File 9 (189), Page 6: The Endangered Ball; Episodes 130-131: The Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case</ref> APTX 4869 is the only known intersection between Shinichi and the Black Organization; meaning that Shinichi's de-aging made him relevant to the Black Organization's project.<br />
<br />
According to Haibara’s description about APTX 4869<ref>Manga Volume 24, File 10</ref>, the drug activates [[Wikipedia: telomerase|telomerase]], an enzyme which can increase the number of times a cell can divide, and therefore affect a cell's lifespan and “reproductive potential”. The goal of this might be to revert all non-neural cells to a "youthful", high reproductive potential state.<br />
<br />
Besides APTX 4869, Vermouth's unnatural youth is another indicator that the Black Organization may be involved in research towards extending lifespan, halting aging, or rejuvenating the body. In addition, Shiho Miyano’s name was on the raffle list for the immortality arrows in the mermaid case in Fukui.<ref>Chapters 279-283</ref><br />
<br />
==== Raising the dead ====<br />
There is a possibility that the Black Organization may be trying to develop a method to revive the dead. Suguru Itakura's diary contained a quote by one of the Black Organization's agents, most likely Vermouth: "We can be both God and Devil since we are trying to raise the dead against the stream of time."<ref name=380p13/> The original purpose of APTX 4869 might be to raise the dead. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and Conan later wondered if the line meant that the Black Organization was trying to create zombies.<ref name=380p16>Manga Volume 37, File 8, pg 16: "White Snow, Black Shadow"</ref> Once when Conan asked Haibara directly what APTX 4869 was meant to do she replied, "It's a nostrum to raise the dead. I wonder if that answer is satisfactory?."<ref name=384p8>Manga Volume 32, File 8, page 8: "The Old Picture"</ref> It may be her comment was a bluff intended to provoke Conan into revealing what he had been up to rather than a serious statement of the purpose of the drug.<br />
<!--<br />
==== "Something really big going on" ====<br />
In a April 2014 interview just before manga file 894 was released,<ref name="April2014Interview"/> [[Gosho Aoyama]] said that "You see, right now, something really big is happening within the organization." The nature of this major event is completely unknown, but the timing and context of this information reveal suggests that perhaps Rum or the true goal has some connection.<br />

== Known Black Organization targets and contacts ==<br />
{{main|List of Black Organization related characters}}<br />
The Black Organization has involved many non-members in its plots, as collaborators or as targets. Additionally, many characters are friends or acquaintances with members of the Black Organization, often without realizing it.<br />

== Manga to anime differences ==<br />
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br />
The first season of Detective Conan rarely featured the Black Organization because the anime writers wanted to downplay their presence.<ref>[http://www.tv.com/case-closed/mystery-mastermind/episode/336019/trivia.html#notes Episode trivia on TV.com]</ref> Two of the episodes at least, were altered heavily in light of this:<br />
<br />
* '''[[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Episode 5]]''': The episode replaces the two men who shrunk Conan with lookalikes Ueda and Shimoda, unrelated to the Black Organization. In the manga version of this case, Conan runs into the real pair and learns their code names (Gin/Vodka in the Japanese Version, Melkior and Kaspar in the English Version). Their replacement creates a continuity error in [[Game Company Murder Case|episode 54]]. Conan recognizes their code names when Tequila speaks to them, yet Conan never learned their code names in the anime version of events.<br />
<br />
* '''[[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Episode 13]]''': At the end of the episode, Masami Hirota meets with the criminal in charge the recent murders. She survives a gunshot wound thanks to Conan. In the manga version, which is in volume 2, the masterminds are Gin and Vodka. Masami is actually Akemi Miyano, and stole the money to buy her sister out of the organization. Upon refusal to give the money's location to Gin, he shoots her. Conan arrives shortly after, and tries to help Akemi. He gives her his real name, and before dying she tells Conan the location of the money and that the organization who killed her wears black like crows. The anime had to do a similar story in [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]], in order to repair the storyline because Akemi's death is what prompted Shiho Miyano to defect from the Organization.<br />
<br />
== Relation to the organization from Magic Kaito ==<br />
:''See also: [[Magic Kaito Organization]]''<br />
It is questionable if the Detective Conan's Black Organization and [[Magic Kaito]]'s [[Magic Kaito Organization|unnamed organization]] are the same organization. The member of the magic Kaito organization that claimed responsibility for killing [[Toichi Kuroba]] eight years ago is referred to as [[Snake]]<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Blue Birthday|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=140}}</ref>, a nickname that doesn't fit in with the codenames of the Black Organization, suggesting they are two separate groups. This though may not be the case if Snake refers to [[Wikipedia: Snake wine|Snake wine]], but because [[Kaitou Kid]]'s origins have yet to be reexplained within the Detective Conan story, this is only speculation.<br />
<br />
Additionally the members of the Magic Kaito Organization are looking for a magical gem called [[Pandora]]. The magical nature of Magic Kaito and its organization's search does not mesh with the non-magical setting of Detective Conan.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
[[File:Demon.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan against the demon.]]<br />
* This crime organization enshrouded in mystery, and even other unrelated case, is sometimes introduced with crows, the creepy bird which is also depicted on their head's crest. The Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.<br />
* The cars and motorcycles of all Black Organization's members in the anime version have Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate, then their founding location is somewhere in Tokyo.<br />
* Their central role as the hero's archnemesis is just like the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 23, file 10; anime episode 156.</ref> and [[Wikipedia: Minamoto no Yoritomo|Yoritomo]]'s pursuing party in the book ''Yoshitsune Chronicles''.<ref>Movie 7: "Crossroad in the Ancient Capital".</ref><br />
* As a their traitor who could died, Haibara compares herself to [[Wikipedia: Marie Antoinette|Marie Antoinette]], the beautiful French princess who met her end at the guillotine, so they are like the French revolutionars.<ref>Manga Volume 29, File 6 (290), Anime Episode 233</ref><br />
* While chasing down leads on their organization, Conan is constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction of [[The Last Wizard of the Century|movie 3]], on a Greek palace ruins at night, he is suddenly attacked by a big red demon with evil aura from many yellow stratus, of course the Black Organization behind all minor criminals.<br />

The {{nihongo|'''Black Organization'''|黒の組織|Kuro no Soshiki}} serves as the main antagonist in the series. It is a secret criminal syndicate with a hidden objective. To achieve that goal, they commit various crimes to maintain its secrecy, remove obstacles, and gather funding and resources for its mysterious research projects. The members of the organization are given code names based on alcoholic beverages. The head is [[Renya Karasuma]] and the first members to appear were [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]], who were responsible for transforming [[Shinichi Kudo]] into a child with the enigmatic drug [[APTX 4869]]. They are the arch-enemy of [[Conan Edogawa]].<br />
<br />
== Members ==<br />
=== Current ===<br />
==== Executive members ====<br />
* '''[[Renya Karasuma]]''': The true central antagonist of the series. Thought to be dead, but is still alive at an age of over 140-year-old. Head of the Black Organization, he is the man at the center of it all, respectfully referred to as "that person" ("ano kata") by lower ranked members of the Black Organization.<br />
* '''[[Rum]]''': Second in charge of the Black Organization, he has the left eye artificial. He is actually disguised as [[Kanenori Wakita]].<br />
* '''[[Gin]]''': The chief administrator who is specialized in coordinating deals and assassinations. He is one of the most frequently recurring Black Organization characters. He is shown to be highly intelligent, lethal, and very acute. His long silver hair and sweeping trench coat give him a distinctive appearance. He forced the drug [[APTX 4869]] on Shinichi.<br />
* '''[[Vermouth]]''' (Sharon Vineyard/Chris Vineyard): A mysterious actress from America with exceptional disguise and voice changing abilities that allow her to pose as anyone. Like Gin, she is a Black Organization executive member.<ref>Conan Drill</ref> She is hated by a number of the members of the Black Organization, but due to the fact that she is their boss' favorite, she is untouchable and they are unable to do anything to her. It is unknown where her loyalty lies, as she often protects [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], whom she knows to be Shinichi, and calls him a "[[Silver Bullet]]", implying that she believes him to be capable of bringing down the Black Organization. She also does not seem to age.<br />
<br />
==== Other members ====<br />
* '''[[Vodka]]''': Managerial secretary of the Black Organization<ref name=CD237>Conan Drill page 237. Vodka's position is 全体監視役秘書係 which roughly translates to General Oversight division secretary.</ref> as Gin's partner, he is another frequently recurring Black Organization character. He wears a hat and sunglasses at all times. He is less intelligent compared to his boss Gin whom he often is seen working with.<br />
* '''[[Chianti]]''': A professional sniper who has been seen to take orders from Gin. She has a fiery and impatient personality. She loathes Vermouth.<br />

<br />
=== Spies for other organizations ===<br />
* '''[[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]]''': Operates under alias of Rena Mizunashi, a TV reporter. Her true name is Hidemi Hondou. Like her deceased father, she is actually a member of the [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] who infiltrated the Black Organization. Her brother, [[Eisuke Hondou]], was not aware of this since Hidemi pretended not to know him after she went undercover.<br />
* '''[[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]''': An operative specializing in deduction and intelligence gathering skills. His true name is Rei Furuya, but he goes by Tooru Amuro in public. He was initially dispatched to look for Sherry, but spent more of that time investigating Shuichi Akai whom he hates for killing his partner Scotch. He works for the Japanese Secret Police.<br />
<br />
=== Deceased ===<br />
* '''[[Tequila]]''': An agent with the same rank as Vodka who seemed to primarily deal with programmers. He was a giant man who spoke with an Osakan accent. He was unintentionally killed in explosion.<br />
* '''[[Pisco]]''': An elderly executive agent who was also the chairman of a car company. He was killed by Gin after being caught on camera performing an assassination. He discovered Haibara was Sherry, but was unable to inform anyone before he was killed by Gin.<br />
* '''[[Calvados]]''': A sniper infatuated with Vermouth who shot himself after being crippled by Shuichi Akai. <br />
* '''[[Akemi Miyano]]''': Shiho Miyano's older sister and Shuichi Akai's girlfriend. She was a low ranking member of the organization and completed a billion yen robbery as part of an agreement to release herself and her sister from the organization. The organization reneged on the deal and she was killed by Gin.<br />
* '''[[Atsushi Miyano]]''': Haibara's father and Elena's husband. He headed the APTX 4869 project before Shiho Miyano took over. Both he and Elena died for some reason which Pisco called an accident while Shiho was young. <br />
* '''[[Elena Miyano]]''': Haibara's mother and Atsushi's wife. She was of British origin and was known within the organization as "Hell's Angel". She worked the APTX 4869 project before Shiho Miyano took over. Both she and Atsushi died for some reason which Pisco called an accident while Shiho was young. She left some mysterious tapes for Shiho.<br />
* '''[[Rikumichi Kusuda]]''': An agent sent to infiltrate Haido Central Hospital to discover the whereabouts of Kir. He killed himself when Akai was hot on his trail.<br />
* '''[[Ethan Hondou]]''': A CIA agent who infiltrated the Black Organization. He committed suicide to protect his daughter Hidemi Hondou from being uncovered as a CIA agent.<br />
* '''[[Scotch]]''': An undercover operative who committed suicide before the Black Organization manages to reveal his true identity.<br />
<br />
=== Former ===<br />
* '''[[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]]''' ([[Ai Haibara]]/Shiho Miyano): A high ranking biochemist who worked on APTX 4869. She was scheduled to be executed when she boycotted her work because her sister Akemi was murdered. Shiho took an APTX 4869 pill she had smuggled in with her, with an intention to commit suicide, but instead shrunk to her 6-7 year old body. She then escaped. She has been living with Professor Agasa and working on an antidote to the APTX 4869, in order to restore Conan to his actual "Shinichi body".<br />
* '''[[Shuichi Akai|Rye]]''': The codename of Shuichi Akai, he was an undercover FBI agent who infiltrated the Black Organization. His allegiance was discovered and he was rejected by the organization. His prowess led the organization to view him as the FBI's trump card.<br />
* '''[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]]''': A serial killer whom was slated to be the original test subject for the APTX drug before he escaped. He is currently in custody for murders he has committed, mostly in fear of the Black Organization sending agents after him. In the end, the court sentences him to death.<br />

== Organization structure and divisions ==<br />
There are many divisions in the Black Organization which are roughly grouped into three categories: {{nihongo|Internal Division|内部活動部隊|Naibu Katsudō-butai}}, {{nihongo|External Division|外部活動部隊|Gaibu Katsudō-butai}}, and {{nihongo|General Oversight|全体監視役|Zentai Kanshi-yaku}}. The external division is composed of agents who primarily deal with people outside the organization. The known internal division agents are focused on in-house research and development. General oversight takes a managerial and coordinating role. The divisions are unrelated to relative ranking among members.<ref>Conan Drill page 237</ref> (e.g Vermouth is higher ranking than Vodka.)<br />

<br />
== Rank ==<br />
Agents who excel at their work and make their way up the ranks are given alcohol codenames by the boss. Even within codenamed agents there are further rank divisions.<ref>Official material accompanying the manga has given contrary information about the existence of ranks within the codenamed members. Some guidebooks (Conan Drill, Chapter 500 special) describe clear rank divisions. Yet, in the 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet, on pg9 under Korn, Gosho was listed as saying, "Fundamentally all members of the organization with code names are supposed to be at the same level, so Korn's supposed to be at the same rank as Gin. It just happened this time that when they chanced to form a team Gin came out as the most leader-like of all them." Evidence from the manga itself suggests that certain members have privileges and freedom that others are not allowed to have.</ref> One advantage that comes with being higher ranked is access to more informational files; lower rank agents have to request to see certain materials from higher ranking agents.<ref name=824p16>Manga Volume 78, File 7 (824), Page 16: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> Agents from outside manga canon are italicized.<br />
<br />
=== Executive agents ===<br />
The "Executive"<ref>Manga Volume 58, File 2 (599), pg 9: "Akai's past". "Executive" is a term used by the FBI to describe the agents who are high ranking like Gin and is not necessarily the term the Organization itself uses to refer to that top level.</ref> agents are the highest ranked codenamed agents within the Black Organization under the boss. They can command many other codenamed agents and have access to more information than lower ranked agents. Even among them, killing another executive agent without express orders from the boss would result in a loss of standing.<ref>As Pisco explains to Gin in Volume 24, file 11, page 14</ref><br />

== Modus operandi ==<br />
The Black Organization commits crimes such as illegal deals<ref>Manga Volume 4, Files 4-6: Shinkansen Bomb Case</ref>, blackmail<ref>Manga Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"</ref>, robberies<ref>Manga Volume 2, Files 4-7: "Masami Hirota Case"</ref>, and contract assassinations<ref>Manga Volume 37, File 5</ref> to raise money for research.<ref>The Miyano parents went to work for the Black Organization because they received funding after being unable to find a sponsor that would pay for them to research their theories. Tequila bribed Hideaki Nakajima with a large amount of money for the world's best programmers. [[Suguru Itakura]] was offered a large sum of money to complete his program</ref> The organization operates like a hybrid of a business and a mafia group. The Black Organization recruits outside talent and cultivates clients and sponsors by sending high ranking members like Gin to business meetings, but they also use mafia-like tactics to intimidate desirable civilians into making deals with them.<ref>e.g. Suguru Itakura</ref> Besides their financially motivated crimes, the organization engages in other stereotypical criminal activities like bribery, spying, and eliminating threats or former partners who are deemed useless or a risk.<br />
<br />
=== Customs ===<br />
[[Image:Generic BOs.png|thumb|right|200px|Agents dress in black.]]<br />
The organization is highly secretive, and tries to eliminate anyone who has knowledge of their existence and threatens to expose their inner workings, including members who have become a liability, such as Akemi Miyano. They will dispose of even senior members like Pisco without hesitation to protect their secrets. Remaining unknown seems to be a higher priority than even research as Ai Haibara thought Conan would be killed before he could be “studied”.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, pg 7: "The girl made of lies" - "If I reported your condition to the organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." Haibara, explaining that Kudo would have been killed by the Black Organization anyway even though he was an "interesting specimen."</ref> The organization often destroys evidence via fire or explosion<ref>List of examples: the shinkansen bomb case, destruction of the Daiko Building's cocktail bar where meetings took place, destruction of the pharmaceutical company building Shiho worked at, Vermouth's assassination of Jodie's father and subsequent burning down of the house</ref> and Haibara warns that they will not hesitate to kill family and friends of a target to protect the secret of their existence.<br />
<br />
The organization has several practices that resemble those of stereotypical secret societies.<ref>Conan Drill, Black Organization Section, pgs 250-252. Among the sources of inspiration for the Black Org, the [[Wikipedia: Freemasons|Freemasons]] (フリーメイソン), the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], and others that were not translated are mentioned for their secret-society-like aspects. The host dummy in the Sunset Manor case wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the KKK.</ref> The Black Organization members all tend to wear black outfits, which Akemi says is intentional and supposed to resemble [[Crow|crows]]. For an as of yet unrevealed reason, nearly all the Black Organization's members (with the exception of the boss) use code names based on alcoholic drinks: hard liquors for men and wine or wine-based cocktails for women. Also it would appear the organization is also fond using detective fiction and classic literature in their project names and passwords. Examples include the APTX 4869 pun on Sherlock Holmes, the computer password Shelling Ford - a prototype name for [[Sherlock Holmes]], a computer virus called [[Night Baron]] named after a character from mystery writer [[Yusaku Kudo]]'s novels, and mission codenames relating to the novel ''[[Wikipedia: Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde|Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde]]''.<br />
<br />
=== Criminal techniques ===<br />
The Black Organization conducts its crimes in ways that are difficult to trace back to them. Handguns and sniping<ref>Akemi Miyano, Suguru Itakura, Yasuteru Domon, Kogoro Mouri, Scar Akai</ref>, fire and bombs<ref>Unnamed woman from the Shinkansen Bomb Case, the Bell Tree Express, Kir in Hyde Central Hospital</ref>, and poisons<ref>Shinichi Kudo, the giant of the Akemi's gang, various APTX 4869 victims, Shigehiko Nomiguchi, maybe the Jazz club man.</ref> seem to be their preferred techniques. Sometimes the organization attempts to disguise their murders as accidents or suicides.<ref>Shigehiko Nomiguchi</ref> To this end, APTX 4869 was deployed as a poison because it is forensically difficult to detect.<ref>Manga Volume 1, File 1 (001), "The Heisei Holmes"</ref> If they are unable to disguise a murder as something else, they will usually attempt to destroy any evidence using fire or explosives to make it difficult to investigate.<ref>Starling family murders, Shuichi Akai's "murder"</ref> Sometimes they will time their crimes so the blame will fall on another party instead, confusing the investigation.<ref>Yasuteru Domon</ref> If a meeting place or asset of theirs is compromised, the Black Organization typically thoroughly destroys it before it can be investigated properly.<ref>Daiko Building ("Cocktail" Bar), Shiho's Pharmaceutical Company</ref><br />
<br />
Their supplies of explosives and firearms are very extensive.<br />
<br />
=== Locations and hideouts ===<br />
The Black Organization seems to have hideouts,<ref name=383p11>Manga Volume 38, File 1 (383), pg 11: "The New Weapon!"</ref> but none of them have been revealed so far. In line with their secretive existence, the Black Organization prefers to meet in places that are isolated or where they can slip away easily. Several operatives occupy public positions like famous actress (Vermouth), television announcer (Kir), or company chairman (Pisco) which gives the Black Organization connections to circles of the rich and famous and access to otherwise unavailable locations. So far, the Black Organization have met clients at a dim restaurant, a Shinkansen's dining car, a crowded wake, a train station under construction, and in an isolated area of an amusement park. The Black Organization often conducts business and meetings at the shipping yard.<ref>Akemi's murder, Showdown with Vermouth, planning for the Domon assassination?, Kir's call to Akai.</ref> Not very many member's abodes have been shown, but they range in extravagance from Kir's relatively plain apartment to Vermouth's lavish penthouse in a tall building.<br />
<br />
=== Personnel ===<br />
The Organization is large enough to quickly dispatch field investigative teams of at least a dozen members<ref>Episode 129, where the Kudo house is investigated, Vodka surrounding Itakura's meeting point, the team watching Gin and Kir's meetup location is FBI vs Org.</ref>. The members of the Organization are also demographically varied, including foreigners and natives, men and women, teenagers<ref>Sherry</ref> and elderly.<ref>Pisco at 71, old man from episode 502</ref><br />
<br />
Individually, the organization's higher ranking members are typically intelligent and often multitalented. So far, at least all senior members are shown to carry guns and wear body armor under their clothing when out. Many agents, even those outside the assassination divisions, are skilled at using firearms. Disguise is a particularly common skill. Both Gin and Vermouth were shown to be resistant to Conan's tranquilizer needle<ref>Manga Chapter 242: The White World</ref> and knockout gas<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple</ref>and subsequently both readily shot themselves in order to continue to stay awake. This may show that they have trained themselves to resist knockout effects to prevent capture and cope with pain.<br />
<br />
=== Investigative ability ===<br />
The Black Organization has a remarkable amount of resources for a criminal group, more than any other opponent of Conan's shown so far. Their financial resources, technology, and manpower seems to be on par with or even superior to the that of the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] investigation team sent to Japan to investigate them, but less than the Japanese police. The Black Organization has enough manpower at their disposal to thoroughly monitor and investigate even minor threats or to observe all the avenues of entry to a crowded meeting place in the middle of a city. However, the organization is nowhere close to omniscient; Shinichi, who is supposed to be dead, was able to participate in several public cases that were successfully hushed up by the police, and leave the country with his passport without detection.<br />
<br />
=== Gadgets ===<br />
:''[[Minor gadgets#Black Organization|Main article: Black Organization's Gadgets]]''<br />
The Black Organization is technologically sophisticated and their equipment rivals even that of the infiltrating FBI. In the manga they have access to a wide variety of firearms and ammunition, [[vehicles]], theatrical supplies, and large amounts of various explosives. Bourbon and Vermouth even planned to use a helicopter as part of one of their plans. The Black Organization's arsenal also includes various specialized gadgets.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
{{main|Black Organization timeline}}<br />
The Black Organization’s main research project, of which APTX 4869 is a part, has been around for at least half a century.<ref>Haibara thinks thinking to herself… "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century." (file 189, but see the ep 130/131 for a better translation) APTX 4869 is the only known connection between the org and Shinichi so Haibara must be referring to the APTX project.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 19, File 9</ref> The Black Organization has historical ties to America before the current storyline. Evidence for this is the involvement of the FBI and CIA in counter operations. Also, Jodie mentions that her father in the FBI was investigating Vermouth as Sharon Vineyard twenty years ago.<ref>Chapter 433</ref><br />
<br />
== Goal and research ==<br />
As of now, the Black Organization's main purpose and goal still remain unknown. What is known is that they are recruiting talent in biochemistry and computer science and funding research using the proceeds from their crime. Currently, the only sources of information Conan can rely on to learn the true intentions behind the Black Organization are former agent Sherry, the CIA's undercover member Kir, and Black Organization related cases.<br />
<br />
=== APTX 4869 and biochemistry ===<br />
:''See also: [[APTX 4869]]''<br />
The Black Organization has a long history of biochemistry research. Thirty years before Conan was shrunk, they recruited Atsushi Miyano and Elena Miyano to work on research for them. Eventually, the two scientists developed a project they called Silver Bullet. Not long after the two died in what some members of the Organization called an accident and their daughter, Shiho Miyano, took over research on the APTX 4869 project. Although APTX 4869 was being developed for another, still secret, purpose, the Organization is using the incomplete prototype as an untraceable, lethal poison.<br />
<br />
The Organization's project data for APTX 4869 contains important secrets. One disk Haibara and Conan tried to retrieve had real names, addresses, and codenames of agents, and the name of the person/people who invested money for the research.<ref>Manga Volume 19, File 1, pg 16: "Why..."</ref> Haibara made a copy of some of the APTX 4869 data when she was locked in a room with Pisco's computer, but then lied to Conan about losing it.<ref>In episode 188 (file 251), Haibara has the bloody disk of copied APTX 4869 data from episode 178. She had lied to Conan about losing it.</ref><br />
<br />
=== Computer research and viruses ===<br />
Another part of the Organization's research requires the skills of world class programmers. It is known the Black Organization has involvement with computer viruses (Night Baron); however, the main purpose of their computer science research may be something other than virii and related to their biochemistry research. Hideaki Nakajima made an exchange with Tequila in episode 54, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. Vermouth and Tequila also blackmailed a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer named Suguru Itakura to complete a particular “system software” Itakura had stopped developing because of bad eyesight. Whatever it is, it prompted the coerced programmer Suguru Itakura to say that he didn’t want to complete his program “for the sake of humanity”.<ref>Manga chapter 380, pg 12</ref><br />

<br />
=== Speculation about the Black Organization's goal ===<br />
==== Immortality/Anti-Aging ====<br />
[[File:EP223-guestbook.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shiho Miyano's name is in a guestbook logging past contestants for the immortality arrows.]]<br />
One possibility is that the Black Organization's research, especially APTX 4869 development, is trying to create a therapy which will cause immortality, stall or reverse the effects of aging, or extend a human's lifespan. Gosho has said that immortality is not the ultimate goal of the Black Organization<ref name="April2014Interview">Leaked interview notes from the May issue of the magazine 「ダ・ヴィンチ」 (da Vinci) with the fans/reporters/whatever, leaked April 15, 2014<br><br />
Source: http://ddnavi.com/news/191132/<br><br />
黒ずくめの組織の目的とはナニ？ APTX4869の作用から考えると、不老不死が怪しいのでは……。<br><br />
Please! Please, let me ask 2 more questions! What is the BO’s goal? Going by the APTX4869, I would think immortality…<br><br />
【青山】「違います。確かにそう思っちゃうよね。今ね、組織の中では大変なことが起こっていますよ」<br><br />
That’s wrong. It’s true that you’d think that, isn’t it? You see, right now, something really big is happening within the organization.</ref>; however, achieving immortality or anti-aging might be an important step to reach the true end.<br />
<br />
Shiho Miyano said that, in developing APTX 4869, she didn't intend to create a poison,<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, page 9</ref> which suggests that APTX 4869 was originally developed with a different goal in mind. It probably was just a useful side effect that the current prototype kills while leaving no trace in the victim’s body, and was thus employed as a poison - a usage which Haibara detests.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, pg 9</ref> Additionally, APTX 4869 is nicknamed the "''incomplete'' detective" by the Black Organization, which means its true purpose has not yet been achieved.<br />
<br />
The de-aging effect that occurred when Shinichi and Haibara took APTX 4869 probably indicates the main intent of the drug's development. After Pisco saw Haibara shrink back to her child form, he commented that he was impressed she had developed the drug to that point, implying that de-aging is in the right direction.<ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11, pg 9</ref> Supporting this is Haibara’s line, "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century."<ref>Manga Volume 19, File 9 (189), Page 6: The Endangered Ball; Episodes 130-131: The Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case</ref> APTX 4869 is the only known intersection between Shinichi and the Black Organization; meaning that Shinichi's de-aging made him relevant to the Black Organization's project.<br />
<br />
According to Haibara’s description about APTX 4869<ref>Manga Volume 24, File 10</ref>, the drug activates [[Wikipedia: telomerase|telomerase]], an enzyme which can increase the number of times a cell can divide, and therefore affect a cell's lifespan and “reproductive potential”. The goal of this might be to revert all non-neural cells to a "youthful", high reproductive potential state.<br />
<br />
Besides APTX 4869, Vermouth's unnatural youth is another indicator that the Black Organization may be involved in research towards extending lifespan, halting aging, or rejuvenating the body. In addition, Shiho Miyano’s name was on the raffle list for the immortality arrows in the mermaid case in Fukui.<ref>Chapters 279-283</ref><br />
<br />
==== Raising the dead ====<br />
There is a possibility that the Black Organization may be trying to develop a method to revive the dead. Suguru Itakura's diary contained a quote by one of the Black Organization's agents, most likely Vermouth: "We can be both God and Devil since we are trying to raise the dead against the stream of time."<ref name=380p13/> The original purpose of APTX 4869 might be to raise the dead. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and Conan later wondered if the line meant that the Black Organization was trying to create zombies.<ref name=380p16>Manga Volume 37, File 8, pg 16: "White Snow, Black Shadow"</ref> Once when Conan asked Haibara directly what APTX 4869 was meant to do she replied, "It's a nostrum to raise the dead. I wonder if that answer is satisfactory?."<ref name=384p8>Manga Volume 32, File 8, page 8: "The Old Picture"</ref> It may be her comment was a bluff intended to provoke Conan into revealing what he had been up to rather than a serious statement of the purpose of the drug.<br />
<!--<br />
==== "Something really big going on" ====<br />
In a April 2014 interview just before manga file 894 was released,<ref name="April2014Interview"/> [[Gosho Aoyama]] said that "You see, right now, something really big is happening within the organization." The nature of this major event is completely unknown, but the timing and context of this information reveal suggests that perhaps Rum or the true goal has some connection.<br />
--><br />
== Known Black Organization targets and contacts ==<br />
{{main|List of Black Organization related characters}}<br />
The Black Organization has involved many non-members in its plots, as collaborators or as targets. Additionally, many characters are friends or acquaintances with members of the Black Organization, often without realizing it.<br />
<br />
== Plot timeline ==<br />
{{main|Black Organization timeline}}<br />
<br />
== Manga to anime differences ==<br />
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br />
The first season of Detective Conan rarely featured the Black Organization because the anime writers wanted to downplay their presence.<ref>[http://www.tv.com/case-closed/mystery-mastermind/episode/336019/trivia.html#notes Episode trivia on TV.com]</ref> Two of the episodes at least, were altered heavily in light of this:<br />
<br />
* '''[[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Episode 5]]''': The episode replaces the two men who shrunk Conan with lookalikes Ueda and Shimoda, unrelated to the Black Organization. In the manga version of this case, Conan runs into the real pair and learns their code names (Gin/Vodka in the Japanese Version, Melkior and Kaspar in the English Version). Their replacement creates a continuity error in [[Game Company Murder Case|episode 54]]. Conan recognizes their code names when Tequila speaks to them, yet Conan never learned their code names in the anime version of events.<br />
<br />
* '''[[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Episode 13]]''': At the end of the episode, Masami Hirota meets with the criminal in charge the recent murders. She survives a gunshot wound thanks to Conan. In the manga version, which is in volume 2, the masterminds are Gin and Vodka. Masami is actually Akemi Miyano, and stole the money to buy her sister out of the organization. Upon refusal to give the money's location to Gin, he shoots her. Conan arrives shortly after, and tries to help Akemi. He gives her his real name, and before dying she tells Conan the location of the money and that the organization who killed her wears black like crows. The anime had to do a similar story in [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]], in order to repair the storyline because Akemi's death is what prompted Shiho Miyano to defect from the Organization.<br />
<br />
== Relation to the organization from Magic Kaito ==<br />
:''See also: [[Magic Kaito Organization]]''<br />
It is questionable if the Detective Conan's Black Organization and [[Magic Kaito]]'s [[Magic Kaito Organization|unnamed organization]] are the same organization. The member of the magic Kaito organization that claimed responsibility for killing [[Toichi Kuroba]] eight years ago is referred to as [[Snake]]<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Blue Birthday|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=140}}</ref>, a nickname that doesn't fit in with the codenames of the Black Organization, suggesting they are two separate groups. This though may not be the case if Snake refers to [[Wikipedia: Snake wine|Snake wine]], but because [[Kaitou Kid]]'s origins have yet to be reexplained within the Detective Conan story, this is only speculation.<br />
<br />
Additionally the members of the Magic Kaito Organization are looking for a magical gem called [[Pandora]]. The magical nature of Magic Kaito and its organization's search does not mesh with the non-magical setting of Detective Conan.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
[[File:Demon.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan against the demon.]]<br />
* This crime organization enshrouded in mystery, and even other unrelated case, is sometimes introduced with crows, the creepy bird which is also depicted on their head's crest. The Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.<br />
* The cars and motorcycles of all Black Organization's members in the anime version have Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate, then their founding location is somewhere in Tokyo.<br />
* Their central role as the hero's archnemesis is just like the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 23, file 10; anime episode 156.</ref> and [[Wikipedia: Minamoto no Yoritomo|Yoritomo]]'s pursuing party in the book ''Yoshitsune Chronicles''.<ref>Movie 7: "Crossroad in the Ancient Capital".</ref><br />
* As a their traitor who could died, Haibara compares herself to [[Wikipedia: Marie Antoinette|Marie Antoinette]], the beautiful French princess who met her end at the guillotine, so they are like the French revolutionars.<ref>Manga Volume 29, File 6 (290), Anime Episode 233</ref><br />
* While chasing down leads on their organization, Conan is constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction of [[The Last Wizard of the Century|movie 3]], on a Greek palace ruins at night, he is suddenly attacked by a big red demon with evil aura from many yellow stratus, of course the Black Organization behind all minor criminals.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

[[File:EP782-6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum vs. Akai and Camel.]]<br />
Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br />
<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case|980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br />

<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br />
Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />
<br />
=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===<br />
Wakita joins Conan, Kogoro, and [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] to Nagano mountains after receiving a request about investigating a suicide case in an old church.

They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up.

<br />
=== Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br />
Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After Wakita learns from Kogoro that Rumi is at a chess tournament in [[Haido]], Rum drives to the building without disguise. He parks his car on a street within sight of here. His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br />
<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This may indicate that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met Kohji Haneda at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an annual general meeting of the international economic forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Rum 17 years ago.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum 17 years ago.]]<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi.

Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />

=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This may indicate that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met Kohji Haneda at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an annual general meeting of the international economic forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi.

<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />

He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This may indicate that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met Kohji Haneda at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an annual general meeting of the international economic forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action.

=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />

He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />
=== Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />
=== Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This may indicate that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met Kohji Haneda at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an annual general meeting of the international economic forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse.

Camel is reminded of the old man.<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi.

<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Family ===<br />
==== Rum's father ====<br />
According to Amanda, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party about sixty-seven years ago. Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. Rum told Amanda Hughes that the name "Rum" is not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
<br />
This may indicate that Rum's father was also a member of the [[Black Organization]] with the codename “Rum” and the organization has been in existence for more than sixty-seven years.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met Kohji Haneda at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an annual general meeting of the international economic forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action.

Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />

=== Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After Wakita learns from Kogoro that Rumi is at a chess tournament in [[Haido]], Rum drives to the building without disguise. He parks his car on a street within sight of here. His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br />
<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About sixty-seven years ago, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at Renya Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Amanda was later drugged by Rum with the drug developed by the organization which led to her death.<br />
<br />
==== Rachel Asaka ====<br />
Rachel was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum knew that Rachel was raised by Amanda after Rachel’s father died while protecting Amanda. However, Rum failed to kill Rachel.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was one of Amanda Hughes' bodyguards. Seventeen years ago, Rum instructed his agents to kill Hyoue but Hyoue managed to defeat them. Hyoue was supposed to receive a call from Amanda to meet her but it did not happen. Hyoue then went to Amanda’s hotel room but found her dead. Hyoue noticed Amanda left a dying message which was a kiss mark on her wristwatch’s dial and a lipstick smeared on a knight piece’s eye.<br />
<br />
There is a possibility that Rum was the one behind Hyoue’s accident that put Hyoue in a 10-year long coma.<br />
<br />
==== Kohji Haneda ==== <br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum met Kohji Haneda at his hotel room to ask him about the whereabouts of Rachel Asaka, Amanda Hughes’ bodyguard. Kohji lied to Rum telling him that Rachel was not in his room but Rum knew that Kohji was lying. When Rum entered Kohji’s room and searched for Rachel, Kohji revealed to Rum that he knew Rum was associated with Renya Karasuma and Rum attended an annual general meeting of the international economic forum on behalf of Karasuma about thirty years prior to their meeting. When Kohji refused to tell Rum about Rachel’s whereabouts, he was beaten and drugged by Rum which led to his death.<br />

[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi.

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

[[File:EP782-6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum vs. Akai and Camel.]]<br />
Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br />
<br />
=== Scarlet Showdown (Manga: [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|896]], Anime: [[The Scarlet Return|782]]) ===<br />
Camel is reminded of the old man.<br />

Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />

They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case.

<br />
=== Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br />
Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />
<br />
=== Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />
<br />

The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service.

<br />
==== Gin ====<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />

Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />

==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}} is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] in the United States seventeen years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served [[Renya Karasuma]] for many years. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br />
<br />
As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information.<br />
<br />
He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />
<br />
His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br />

He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused.

After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been.

He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />

<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />

[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}}, is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of Amanda Hughes and Kohji Haneda in the United States 17 years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on Kogoro Mouri.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates. As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. <br />
<br />
Rum, as Kanenori Wakita, becomes Kogoro Mouri's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />

<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />

He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the highest ranking executive agent. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About 67 years ago, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at [[Renya Karasuma]]'s birthday party. According to Amanda, Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. 50 years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Rum instructed his agents to kill all Amanda's bodyguards (but failed to kill Rachel Asaka and Hyoue Kuroda) and they went to see Amanda in her room. During Rum and Amanda's conversation in the room, Rum told Amanda that his left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory that allows him to remember people’s gestures and habits to which Amanda replied that he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger and he has Renya Karasuma’s support to do so. Rum added that he has had such eyes since he was young.<br />
<br />
Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Rum also managed to find Amanda’s weakness which was Rachel Asaka, one of Amanda’s bodyguards and the daughter of Amanda’s bodyguard who died while protecting Amanda. Since Rachel’s father’s death, Amanda has been raising Rachel as her own daughter and Rachel has considered Amanda as her own mother. Rum was planning to lure Rachel by drugging Amanda with the drug developed by the organization. When Amanda was drugged, Rum instructed his agents to search Rachel as he worried that Amanda might have told Rachel the information about the organization. As Amanda was on the verge of her death, Rum told her that the name “Rum” was not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />

[[File:MyLum gag strip.gif|thumb|right|x200px|Lum Invader]]<br />
Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br />
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.</ref> and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.<ref>Movie 6: "The Phantom of Baker Street".</ref><br />
* Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br />
* "Kanenori Wakita" is also an anagram of "Kanenari Tokiwa", the Tokiwa Group's late founder in [[Countdown to Heaven]], the first movie about the Black Organization.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}}, is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He was involved in the murder of Amanda Hughes and Kohji Haneda in the United States 17 years ago. Currently, he disguises as {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}} and works at Beika Iroha Sushi as a sushi chef to spy on Kogoro Mouri.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]]. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates. As Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. <br />
<br />
Rum, as Kanenori Wakita, becomes Kogoro Mouri's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract more information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />

He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action.

[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About 67 years ago, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at [[Renya Karasuma]]'s birthday party. According to Amanda, Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. 50 years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Rum instructed his agents to kill all Amanda's bodyguards (but failed to kill Rachel Asaka and Hyoue Kuroda) and they went to see Amanda in her room. During Rum and Amanda's conversation in the room, Rum told Amanda that his left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory that allows him to remember people’s gestures and habits to which Amanda replied that he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger and he has Renya Karasuma’s support to do so. Rum added that he has had such eyes since he was young.<br />
<br />
Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Rum also managed to find Amanda’s weakness which was Rachel Asaka, one of Amanda’s bodyguards and the daughter of Amanda’s bodyguard who died while protecting Amanda. Since Rachel’s father’s death, Amanda has been raising Rachel as her own daughter and Rachel has considered Amanda as her own mother. Rum was planning to lure Rachel by drugging Amanda with the drug developed by the organization. When Amanda was drugged, Rum instructed his agents to search Rachel as he worried that Amanda might have told Rachel the information about the organization. As Amanda was on the verge of her death, Rum told her that the name “Rum” was not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />

Just like "Katsuki Doitou" used by [[Kaitou Kid]]<ref>Manga volume 100, file 11.</ref>, "Kanenori Wakita" is a silly name and an anagram of "Toki wa kane nari", the Romanization into Japanese of his English catch phrase "Time is money" (時は金なり).<br />
<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]], as a crossover joke, has introduced [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]], the female protagonist from the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', as the Black Organization member Rum. He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to "Rum" because "R" and "L" sound the same in Japanese.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}}, who is also known by his codename {{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}}, is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]]. He is actually disguised as a sushi chef and his real name is still unknown.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Kanenori Wakita is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. As Rum, he is the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]] of the [[Black Organization]], then he is their second-in-command, and changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates. He was involved with the death of [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago.<br />
<br />
Actually Sleeping Kogoro's second apprentice to to get closer to him and extract more information, he is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and charges [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about the high school detective. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and orders [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo"), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also an intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal. He is a cigar smoker.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br />
As Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br />
<br />
Without the disguise of the buckteeth, wig and medical gauze, Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in cats.<br />
<br />
Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English.<br />

Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br />

After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".<br />

He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br />
<br />
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />
After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br />

He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br />
Rum doesn't appear directly:<br />
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br />
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br />
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br />
* Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br />

<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The [[boss]] is his direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the highest ranking executive agent. However, Rum is scolded by the boss when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
[[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br />
<br />
==== Curaçao ====<br />
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br />
<br />
==== Pinga ====<br />
[[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Enemies ===<br />
==== Amanda Hughes ====<br />
About 67 years ago, Rum met [[Amanda Hughes]] at [[Renya Karasuma]]'s birthday party. According to Amanda, Rum was a child at the time and he was called "Rum" which she thought was a funny nickname. 50 years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Rum instructed his agents to kill all Amanda's bodyguards (but failed to kill Rachel Asaka and Hyoue Kuroda) and they went to see Amanda in her room. During Rum and Amanda's conversation in the room, Rum told Amanda that his left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory that allows him to remember people’s gestures and habits to which Amanda replied that he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger and he has Renya Karasuma’s support to do so. Rum added that he has had such eyes since he was young.<br />
<br />
Amanda was planning to have Rum arrested by the Japanese police and the Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team of the FBI but Rum managed to thwart her plan with the help of [[Vermouth]] who called the FBI using her voice to cancel her request for the SWAT team. Rum also managed to find Amanda’s weakness which was Rachel Asaka, one of Amanda’s bodyguards and the daughter of Amanda’s bodyguard who died while protecting Amanda by using himself as a human shield to take a bullet. Since Rachel’s father’s death, Amanda has been raising Rachel as her own daughter and Rachel has considered Amanda as her own mother. Rum was planning to lure Rachel by drugging Amanda with the drug developed by the organization. When Amanda was drugged, Rum instructed his agents to search Rachel as he worried that Amanda might have told Rachel the information about the organization. As Amanda was on the verge of her death, Rum told her that the name “Rum” was not a nickname but a codename he inherited from his father who had served Renya Karasuma for many years.<br />
