=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
The wife, Sumika, tried to scare the husband to cure his hiccups. It was at a bad time since the couple had been arguing: The husband, '''Takushi Konno''', was angry at his wife's over the top excentric behavior and the wife believed he was cheating on her. The husband planned to kill her by faking hiccups, her using a knife to scare him, and him using the knife to kill her in "self-defense"; however, after doing it and her surviving, he becomes regretful and tries to commit suicide.

Conan explains that her recent behavior is because she is pregnant. Conan lets it slide for the child's sake of having both parents. The police attribute the case to an unfortunate accident while trying to cure the hiccups and the Konnos make amends. Afterwards, Haibara expresses her anger over the husband not thinking about how his wife could be pregnant and for Conan not turning him in.

'''{{nihongo|Ai Haibara|灰原哀|Haibara Ai}}''', real name '''{{nihongo|[[Shiho Miyano]]|宮野志保|Miyano Shiho}}''', is the inventor of the [[APTX 4869]] poison that shrunk [[Shinichi Kudo]] into [[Conan Edogawa]], and a victim of the poison herself. Formerly '''{{nihongo|Sherry|シェリー}}''' of the [[Black Organization]], she is on the run from them and lives with [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. She is also one of the few [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|characters who know that Shinichi is Conan]].

== Background ==
=== Shiho Miyano ===
{{main|Shiho Miyano}}
[[Image:Investigation_Kudo's_house.jpg‎|thumb|right|170px|Shiho and other Organization members inspect the Kudo mansion.]] Shiho Miyano and her older sister, [[Akemi Miyano]], were born into the secret crime syndicate "The [[Black Organization]]". Her English mother, [[Elena Miyano]], and her Japanese father, [[Atsushi Miyano]], were both scientists working for the Black Organization on an important secret project. While Haibara was young, both her parents died in what was claimed to be an accident. While Akemi lived a normal life, the highly intelligent Haibara was groomed to take over her parents' research. A child prodigy, she was sent to the United States for education at a very young age, and then later came back to Japan to finish her parents' secret project, "Silver Bullet".<ref>Manga [[Volume 38]], Files 2-4 (384-386)</ref>. By the age of thirteen she was working as a scientist for the Black Organization.<ref>Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization five years ago. He did so by becoming Akemi’s girlfriend in order to get close to Shiho and use her influence to get in. (Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past") According to the FBI’s description, Shiho was “a scientist for them” at the time. Furthermore this took place in Japan since everyone was speaking Japanese, Akemi lived in Japan, and the FBI bust two years prior to the current timeline was in Japan (607 pg 8). If Shiho is 18 now, she would be 13 at the time Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization and she was already a scientist for them at this point and high ranked.</ref> She was given the codename "Sherry", after the alcoholic drink.

Shiho was about 18 years old when she developed the experimental test compound [[APTX 4869]]. She discovered that it could be used as a poison to kill without leaving any traces of itself in a body. While researching its effects, Shiho noticed that one of her lab mice had become younger after being given the drug instead of dying, though she did not report that effect. Meanwhile, the Black Organization started human trials, using APTX 4869 to commit untraceable murders. Unaware of the drug's rare side effect when they used it on [[Shinichi Kudo]], the Black Organization ordered a search for him because his body had not been found to confirm his death. Shiho and her team searched Shinichi's house twice after he had been shrunk to confirm his death for the Black Organization. She began to suspect Shinichi's transformation after the second search, when she found that his clothes from primary school had gone missing. Shiho then confirmed him as deceased so the organization would not look into the matter further and kill him after all.

[[Image:Shiho_taking_APTX4869.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Shiho swallows [[APTX 4869]].]]
Shiho was unhappy that the Black Organization's was using the incomplete APTX 4869 for murder, as that was not the drug's intended purpose. When Shiho received word that her sister Akemi had been killed, but was given no explanation why, she decided to boycott her research until the Black Organization gave her an adequate explanation. Instead, the Organization confined her in a small room to await her execution. With no other way out, she took a pill of APTX 4869 to commit suicide, but instead shrank into a six or seven year old girl. In her new, smaller body, she escaped from the Black Organization and attempted to reach Shinichi's house, hoping he might be able to help her. Exhausted, she collapsed in front of Shinichi's house, where she was found by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], who eventually adopted her.<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> In fact, as it turned out later, Agasa was acquaintances with her parents—especially her father—even though he didn't know at that time that they had children or were part of the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Chapter 398: The Torn Friendship, Part 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 423: A Mystery Left by a Visitor</ref>
{{clear}}

=== Ai Haibara ===
[[Image:Haibara_founded_infront_of_Kudo's_house.JPG|thumb|right|245px|Haibara collapsed in front of Kudo's house.]]
To prevent the knowledge of her transfiguration from being discovered, Shiho and Professor Agasa create her alias ''Ai Haibara'' (known as Anita Hailey—recently Vi Graythorn—in the English dub). As Ai Haibara, she attends [[Teitan Elementary School]] with [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s shrunken form, [[Conan Edogawa]]. Following her first adventure with the [[Detective Boys]] in which they investigate the disappearance of a schoolmate's brother, she reveals her true identity to Conan and the fact that she had developed the [[APTX 4869]].<ref>Manga Chapter 178: Code Name Sherry</ref> At first stunned, then outraged, Conan protests her presence,<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> but as time passes, he accepts Haibara as a friend and fellow victim, though her cynicism and secretive air still rail him at times. Haibara also joins the ranks of the [[Detective Boys]], and although she does not think too highly of her teammates' immature antics, she has come to value them all as close friends.

Haibara has begun working on [[Prototype Antidote|an antidote]] for the APTX 4869, but since most of the important data had been stored on computer files, which are now mostly destroyed, the work progresses slowly. Conan also eventually succeeds in persuading [[Vermouth]], who was attempting to track down Shiho and had found out about her new identity, to leave Haibara in peace, easing the air of menace which had loomed over Haibara until that time.<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple</ref>

Vermouth breaks her promise when the Black Organization member [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]], who had been assigned to look for Sherry, discovers a video of Shiho taken while Haibara was using a [[temporary antidote]] to rescue the detective boys. When the Black Organization attempts to kill or capture her aboard a train, a counterplan devised by Conan, [[Subaru Okiya]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], and [[Kaitou Kid]] results in an explosion that preserves Shiho's secret identity and makes all the Black Organization members besides Vermouth believe she is dead.

== Personality ==
[[File:Ai - Sai Brand's Wallet.jpg|thumb|Haibara asking for a ''Sai Brand'''s wallet for her cooperation]]

Haibara has a calm and cool personality, sarcastic wit, and high intelligence. When freshly escaped from the Black Organization, she was cynical and pushed others away. Haibara has since defrosted by embracing her new child life and has established strong relationships with Conan, the Detective Boys, Agasa, and Ran.

As Ai Haibara, she speaks and acts older than she is supposed to be, which results in the Detective Boys referring to her as "cool" or "mature". This is emphasized by her impressing general knowledge, even in areas without relation with sciences (such as theology or history<ref>[[Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys|Episode 212: Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys]] where she explains the religious myth of the Fall</ref><ref>[[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear|Episode 232: The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]] where she explains the death of Marie-Antoinette</ref>). Despite her jaded demeanor, she can be kind and caring, though usually more to animals than people. Haibara tends to be quiet, though this may be due to her caution to keep herself hidden from the Black Organization. She considers Conan and the Detective Boys the first real friends she has ever had, and is even willing to sacrifice herself just to ensure their safety.<ref>Manga Chapters 289: Bus Hijacking Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 434: Rotten Apple Case</ref>. Indeed, she considers herself as a threat for them, since the Black Organization will most likely eliminate all of them once she is found. That is why she describes herself as "dangerous and not like the others"<ref>[[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear|Episode 233: The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]]</ref>

[[File:Episode213.JPG|thumb|left|Mitsuhiko assisting Haibara after bandaging her sprained foot.]]

Haibara is generally a loner and misses her older sister, Akemi, greatly (in the film ''[[Countdown to Heaven]]'', she would call her sister's old apartment just to hear her voice on the voicemail). Her greatest fear is being caught by the [[Black Organization]], and she is especially terrified of [[Gin]] and [[Vermouth]]. She tries to keep Conan from doing reckless things that may give away their identity, though often she is surprised by his actions which usually result in gaining the information he needs while also keeping their identities secret. However, whenever Conan is reckless in regards to keeping his identity from Ran, Haibara is the one who plans ahead in order to keep him from being revealed.

While she generally accompanies her fellow Detective Boys to soccer matches played by the Tokyo Spirits, Haibara herself is a fan of [[Culture#Soccer|Big Osaka]] in general and of the player [[List of minor recurring manga characters#Celebrities|Ryusuke Higo]] in particular, especially since the latter has likewise abandoned a "black organization" (Noir Tokyo) after the team had betrayed him and had remained an outcast in public opinion for a time.<ref>Manga Chapters 344-346: Soccer Supporter Case</ref> Because she occasionally works overnight on the antidote for the APTX 4869, she tends to be tired quite frequently, causing Conan to call her an "evil-eyed yawny girl" on one occasion.<ref>Manga Chapter 680: A Dangerous Couple</ref>

In the OVA ''[[A Secret Order From London]]'', Haibara reveals to [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] that she likes sandwiches with a mixture of peanut butter and blueberry jam, from her schooldays in America. However, since [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] caught her eating one of these sandwiches—especially since Haibara was on her part constantly pestering him into eating low-calorie foods only—she had to abandon that habit for a while.<ref>OVA 11: ''A Secret Order From London''</ref>

=== Taste for fashion ===
[[File:Haibara and fashion.png|thumb|Haibara reading fashion magazine 'Com Com']]

Haibara seems to have some interest in fashion, as she has made repeated requests for a certain type of purse when asked to do something. For instance, when [[Miwako Sato]] declares she would do anything for the one who will solve her father's mystery, she asks for Prada's newest handbag model<ref>[[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3|Episode 205: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3]]</ref>. What's more, in one of the cases, in order to expose the identity of the person who hid the phone cables to cut off communications with the outside world, she was asked by Conan to fake an unbearable appendix pain, which she agreed to after jokingly requesting for a Fusae Brand's wallet for her cooperation. She then started rolling on the floor and screaming for help. The culprit felt like he had no choice but to reveal the cable from his pockets and reconnect the phone to ask for an ambulance. <ref>[[A Code of Stars and Tobacco|Episode 374-375: A Code of Stars and Tobacco]]</ref> She is also seen with a Prada cell phone case in the Mystery Train case. Haibara reads 'ComCom' magazine (a name similar to Japan's 'CanCam' fashion magazine) during a soccer game in the Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case. <ref>[[The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case|Episode 130: The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case]]</ref> In OVA 11, the Detective Boys wrongly began to suspect Haibara was a child model from America, due to her looks and knowledge of fashion and makeup.

===Ryusuke Higo fan===
[[File:766-1.png|thumb|left|Haibara's listening to "Dandy Lion"]]

Haibara becomes a big fan of [[List of minor recurring manga characters#Celebrities|Ryusuke Higo]] after knowing Higo was originally a member of the Noir Tokyo team with his half-brother Rikuo Endo, he transferred once it was revealed that Noir had just exploited him. For this reason, he has become an empathic role model for Ai Haibara, as seen in [[Hooligan's Labyrinth]] case. Haibara also like to hear [[Yoko]]'s songs due to the fact that Higo also like the songs.<ref>[[Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case|Episode 765-766: Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case]]</ref>

== Appellations ==
Although most people will call Haibara by her name suffixed with ''-san'' (due to her personality), and some with ''-chan'' (due to her agreement), a lot of the characters have different ways of calling her due to their different relationships. The following is a list of the different appellations for Haibara (and the ones Haibara gives in return) encountered in the series.

== Plot overview ==
=== [[Episode 129|Introduction of Ai Haibara]] ===
[[File:129-1.png|thumb|left|First Haibara's "evil" appearance]]

Conan's class receives a new student named Ai Haibara. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and Genta notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them where she lives but Conan fails to realize it's at Agasa's home (Tokyo blocks are not numbered in sequential order and Conan has never had reason to learn Agasa's mailing address due to their being neighbors).

After school, a boy named Toshiya asks the Detective Boys to find his missing brother. The Detective Boys along with Haibara investigate Toshiya's house and finds a painting of [[Wikipedia:Natsume Sōseki|Natsume Sōseki]]. Toshiya reveals that before his brother disappeared, a woman, who had an interest in that portrait, approached Toshiya's brother. The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother. Conan notices that a man was using a counterfeit ¥1000 and realizes Toshiya's brother was actually kidnapped and forced to help create counterfeit bills. After following the man along with the clues Toshiya's brother left behind, they are able to apprehend the organized crime group and save Toshiya's brother.

[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|Haibara cries on Conan after asking him why hadn't he helped her sister.]]
On the way home, Haibara reveals to Conan that she is a former member of the Black Organization, with the code name "Sherry". She actually betrayed the group and escaped with the use of the APTX 4869, which caused her to become a child. She reveals that she once accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister, and the disc is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara there to retrieve the disk, only to discover that Hirota has been murdered. The suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day. Conan reveals the culprit to be a man named Akira Shirakura; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death and tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made, subsequently dragging the key into the room. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape. After seeing Conan's amazing display of logic after she had given up on the case herself, Haibara breaks down and asks Conan why he could not save her sister, Akemi, from the Black Organization. Conan finally makes the connection that the "Masami Hirota" who Gin killed was actually Shiho's sister, and sympathy for Haibara's attitude stirs in him. The disc is taken into police custody, but once it is released to them Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk—only to have [[Night Baron|a virus]] delete all the data.

=== [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] ===
[[image:Sherry-getting-shot.png|thumb|left|150px|Shiho shot by Gin.]]
In Episode 176-178, Conan encounters Gin and Vodka again. Haibara is kidnapped and confined to a wine cellar by the Black Organization member [[Pisco]], but she escapes before Gin and Vodka arrive by drinking [[baijiu]] to turn back into an adult. Gin anticipates her actions and intercepts her on the roof. Gin shoots her repeatedly, hoping he can force her to explain how she escaped from the Organization. Conan prevents Gin from killing her by shooting the man with his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer wristwatch]]. Conan tells Haibara to jump into the chimmey, and Vodka shoots at him, but Conan gets away. Gin purposely shoots himself in the arm to stay awake. Inside, Pisco almost kills Haibara, but Conan rescues her after tricking Pisco into accidentally causing a fire. Gin kills Pisco for failure before Pisco's able to tell him the truth that Shiho Miyano has deaged into a young girl. Worried that the Organization is after her, Haibara decides to leave the city. Conan anticipates that Gin will predict her next move as leaving Tokyo, so it will be better if she does the unexpected and remains in Beika. Unknown to Conan or Haibara, [[Vermouth]] saw Haibara at the party and uses her expert disguise skills to get closer to Haibara and Conan in order to confirm Haibara's identity as Sherry and then kill her.

=== [[The Desperate Revival]] ===
[[File:Flower gun.png|thumb|Haibara's about to shoot Conan.]]

Conan finds out that Ran suspects him of being Shinichi, because Ran said she knew Conan's blood type for a blood transfusion. While Conan is in the hospital contemplating admitting his identity to her, Haibara enters and points a gun at his head, saying that the Black Organization has found out about her due to an unknown agent being present at the Pisco incident. Because of this, Professor Agasa is held hostage and, in exchange for his life and a chance to return to the Black Organization, Haibara is required to terminate all the links she had in her child identity. However, when she pulls the trigger a bunch of flowers come out, showing that the story was just an act. Still, she uses this story as her point: both Haibara and Conan cannot reveal their identities no matter the situation, in order to prevent such a tragedy from occurring.

During that night, Haibara explains her plan to disassociate Conan from Shinichi in Ran's eyes. She has Conan take a [[prototype antidote]] for APTX 4869 and then disguises herself as Conan. For the rest of the arc, Conan returns as Shinichi while Haibara is present as Conan, thus creating the illusion of Shinichi and Conan existing at the same time, disproving that the two are the same person.

At the end of the Desperate Revival arc, the antidote begins to run out and Shinichi runs into the bathroom, where Haibara is still disguised as Conan already waiting for him. She predicted that Shinichi would run into the men´s bathroom after the symptoms of the back transformation would start to appear. She then switches Shinichi into Conan's clothes after the antidote runs out.

===[[The Mysterious Passenger]]===
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|left|Haibara in pinch]]

Vermouth, disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], boards a bus that Haibara, Agasa, and the Detective Boys are riding to a ski resort. Whatever plan Vermouth might have had is completely interrupted by the bus being hijacked by random criminals and the presence of two FBI agents that have been tracking her: [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Shuichi Akai]]. Haibara detects Vermouth's presence on the bus. She becomes so afraid that the Detective Boys, Conan, and Agasa will be killed because of her that she decides to commit suicide, staying deliberately in the bus whose explosion was imminent. Only Conan's quick thinking saves her, and he asks her to not run away from life. However, those events make her remain anxious for several days.

Due to almost similar appearance between Jodie and Vermouth in this case, most viewers tend to make conclusion that Jodie and Vermouth are the same person. This is because when Vermouth dialog is played, it shows Jodie after that.

{{clear}}
=== [[Episode 345|Showdown with Vermouth]] ===
[[File:345-1.png|thumb|right|Ran covering Haibara from getting shot]]

Vermouth finally launches her plan to kill Shiho. She prepares a distraction to lure Conan away so that Haibara is alone at Agasa's. Taking advantage of the fact that Haibara has practically become ill from fear, she calls as Dr. Araide to tell Haibara she is taking her to the hospital because she has been unwell for so long. The eavesdropping FBI agent [[Jodie Starling]] arrives first to protect Haibara and starts driving her towards the shipping yard where the FBI have laid a trap for Vermouth.

In a complicated turn of events, Vermouth reveals she already thwarted Jodie's trap, and then shoots her. Haibara then reveals herself to be Conan; Yukiko had helped with his disguise while Conan sent [[Heiji Hattori]] to participate in Vermouth's distraction. The real Haibara then shows up which distracts Conan long enough for Vermouth to dart him with his own stun-gun watch. Just as Haibara is about to be killed, Ran, who had suspected Jodie of being untrustworthy and decided to spy on her, jumps from Jodie's car trunk and protects Haibara. Vermouth is unwilling to kill either Conan or Ran because they had saved her life in the past. Part of the reason why she originally did not tell the rest of the Black Organization about Haibara's true identity is likely because they would find out about Conan too and then silence him and everyone around him as well.

Before Vermouth can come up with another plan, the other FBI agent, [[Shuichi Akai]] arrives and forces Vermouth to flee with Conan as a hostage. Vermouth dials [[anokata|the boss]] of the Black Organization to lie to him about why she was injured. Conan overhears the number and threatens to give it to the police for analysis unless Vermouth promises that she will give up on trying to kill Haibara. Vermouth consents and escapes.

=== [[Episode 394|Pandora's box]] ===
In Episode 394, Conan figures out the boss's full number, but Haibara warns him not to call it because it is "[[Wikipedia:Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]". Conan then thinks he can get Detective Takagi to figure out who the number belongs to, but then Haibara warns that if he does, Detective Takagi will be killed. This scene is the first time Haibara openly reveals to Conan that she has been hiding important secrets about the Black Organization from him; earlier she [[Black_Organization#APTX_4869_and_Biochemistry|had lied to him]]. The exchange suggests that Haibara is withholding information because she fears Conan will make a rash move.

===[[Episode 509|Subaru Okiya]]===
[[File:Haibara doesn't like Okiya.PNG|thumb|left|Haibara does not like Subaru]]

Not long after Akai's death, Conan hears fresh intel from the [[FBI]] that a new [[Black Organization]] agent called [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] is looking for Shiho, which Conan keeps secret from Haibara. As Conan and Haibara investigate a normal case, Haibara feels that an organization member is around. The organization member which she felt is implied to be one of the innocent suspects, [[Subaru Okiya]]. Conan invites Okiya to live in Kudo's house since Okiya's apartment was burnt to the ground. Okiya appears in other cases later on, including at the Haido mall where the rest of the Black Organization gathered to chase a rumored sighting of a [[Scar Akai|scarred Shuichi Akai]]. Although Okiya is trusted by Conan and Agasa and kind to Haibara, she remains frightened of him. Later, some of his actions lead her to believe he might be someone she knows and she comes to trust him more, even attempting to uncover his identity when she thought he was asleep.

===[[Episode 699|Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret]]===
[[File:Shiho_700.png|thumb|Haibara turns into Shiho via the [[Prototype antidote|prototype antidote]] for the first time]]

Later, when Haibara is forced to revert to Shiho using a [[temporary antidote]], a video of her as an adult is sent to the Mouri Detective Agency by Mitsuhiko which Sera, Okiya, and Amuro find out about. Because of this, Haibara is later targeted by a plot concocted by Vermouth and Bourbon aboard the Bell Tree Express Train. Bourbon is revealed to be Amuro and Haibara learns that he knew her parents. Bourbon was hoping to capture Shiho alive, but Vermouth's modifications to his plan which were designed to kill her led to Shiho supposedly being blown up on the train. The Shiho Vermouth and Bourbon thought was killed was really [[Kaitou Kid]] in disguise, Conan having forced him into the plan. Because of this, all of the Black Organization besides Vermouth think Shiho is now dead, and Vermouth is unable to reveal the truth to the rest of them without also compromising Conan, Haibara and their deaged condition against her wishes.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
====Conan Edogawa====
[[File:Shiranpuri derp.png|thumb|left|Haibara's reaction after hearing Conan's ''[[Clash_of_Red_and_Black#Ready_to_Die_.28Manga:_605-608.2C_Anime:_503.29|Shiranpuri]]'' plan]]
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}

Both are de-aged by APTX and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes Haibara and [[Conan]] close confidants and more sympathetic to one other than most other characters. Conan is one of the few people in front of whom she has shown any signs of weakness, such as breaking down over her sister's death. Ai Haibara has romantic feelings for [[Conan]]/[[Shinichi]], although she never truly admits to it (due to her assumption of Conan loving Ran). Haibara expresses a lot of interest in Conan's personality, intelligence, and sense of justice. If Conan is in danger she is willing to throw away her life to save him, overriding fears and concerns for her own safety that would ordinarily paralyze her. Similarly, Conan has saved Haibara's life more than once when she would have sacrificed herself for his and the [[Detective Boys]]' safety. Haibara also often enjoys teasing Conan which Conan takes in good stride. Conan is oblivious of Haibara's feelings and sometimes finds it difficult to deal with her sarcasm and impudent, cold nature. Although close on many matters, they still don't fully trust one another with information about the Black Organization out of concern for the safety and feelings of the other.

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[File:772-1.png|thumb|Haibara is typing a mail to Professor Agasa angrily for cheating his diet]]
{{main|Agasa family}}

The relationship between Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] is rather unusual, if not humorous. Despite their actual ages, Haibara often acts more like a mother to the professor, constantly reminding him to watch what he eats. On several occassions, she has removed fattening foods from his reach<ref name=Depths>[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref>, and is attempting to help get him into better shape. There have also been instances where she'll automatically step in front of Agasa in cases of danger.<ref name=Eyes>[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref> Out of all the people she's met, Haibara seems most comfortable about acting herself with Professor Agasa; which might be attributed to the fact that he was the one who found her after she escaped the Black Organization, and took her in.
{{clear}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:247-1.png|thumb|left|Haibara's first greeting with Ran]]

There are instances where Haibara will caution Conan from actions that involve [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. Early on, she is cold and distant towards Ran, even more so than she is to most other people. Ran believes that it is because Haibara hated her,<ref name=Net>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref> though in truth it is because Ran reminds Haibara strongly of her dead sister.

After Ran notices Haibara is not feeling well and carries her to safety during a case, Haibara finally properly introduces herself to Ran, and they slowly became friends. Because Haibara finds that Ran resembles her older sister, Akemi Miyano, she takes special interest in protecting her. These feelings increase after Ran jumps through a slew of bullets from [[Calvados|a Black Organization sniper]] to save Haibara.<ref name=Vermouth>[[Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon|Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon]]</ref> Haibara immediately thinks of her own sister, and begins acting to try to protect Ran from the organization, such as when Haibara begs for Ran to stay at Agasa's house when she knows that [[Korn]], [[Chianti]], and the rest of the Black Organization are lurking about, immediately thinking of her own sister's death, and wanting to keep Ran safe.<ref name=KornChianti>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!]]</ref>

Assuming that Conan has romantic feelings for Ran, Haibara feels jealous of her and suffer from considering herself as less attractive than Ran. She even implies that Ran would be similar to a dolphin, when she would only be a shark coming from the cold depths of the sea, indicating that she cannot compete against her<ref>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref>.

====Subaru Okiya====
[[File:685-2.png|thumb|Haibara uncovering Subaru's scrarf]]

The first time [[Subaru]] appears, Haibara felt a strange feeling toward him and thought he is a member of the Black Organization. However, the feeling kept coming and going. In later episodes, Haibara doesn't seem to hate him so much anymore. She even tries to uncover Subaru's scarf to check something behind his neck, probably noticing some small machines made by Professor Agasa.

====Dai Moroboshi====
[[File:701_8.png|thumb|left|Dai Moroboshi in Haibara's thought]]

Haibara knows [[Dai Moroboshi]] as her sister's boyfriend. She deduces that Dai approaches her sister just to collect information about the Black Organization. Later on, she meets a [[Scar Akai|guy]] similar to him in [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] and wonders how he got the scar on his face.
{{clear}}

=== Detective Boys ===
Haibara has tried to keep an emotional distance away from the rest of the Detective Boys at the beginning. However, over time, she can't resist their friendliness anymore and gradually warms up to them.

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
[[File:330-1.png|thumb|left|Ayumi is happy for being allowed to call Haibara by her name (Ai)]]
{{Main|Ayumi Yoshida}}

Out of the Detective Boys, Haibara is the closest with [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. At one time, Ayumi noticed that she called everyone by their first names except for Haibara and decided to try and call her "Ai-chan", but without success. At the end of a case which involved a shattered friendship, Haibara told Ayumi that it was okay for her to call her "Ai-chan". When Mitsuhiko and Genta tried to call her that, however, she told them that only Ayumi was allowed to call her by her first name.<ref name=Ai-chan>[[A Friendship That Can't Be Bought|Episode 329-330: A Friendship That Can't Be Bought]]</ref> On the whole, Haibara seems to see Ayumi as a little sister, even going so far as to physically shield her from danger.<ref name=starsandtobacco>[[A Code of Stars and Tobacco|Episode 375: A Code of Stars and Tobacco (Part 2)]]</ref> Besides, Ayumi is one of the people who teach her that she cannot win by always running away, and that she has to face her enemies<ref>[[Episode 347|Episode 347: Find the Buttock's Mark]]</ref>.
However, Haibara and Ayumi may almost be love rivals, since both seem to develop romantic feelings for Conan: Ayumi even asks her if she is in love with him, and is really frightened when she is answered positively (she eventually cheers up when Haibara says she is not).<ref>[[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case|Episode 205: The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case]]</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya ====
[[Image:279haibaramitsuhiko.png|thumb|right|220|Haibara listening in on Mitsuhiko's radio.]]
{{main|Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
Haibara's classmate and fellow detective [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] develops romantic feelings for her, and Haibara is fully aware of this. Haibara uses Mitsuhiko's feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also does admire his intelligence and courage during missions the Detective Boys must perform and respects his feelings. In some episodes she even shows more confidence in Mitsuhiko than in Ayumi or Genta when the going gets tough.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Sherry}}
[[Gin]] has an abnormal attachment for Shiho and seems to enjoy hunting her, while she hates and fears him. They had some sort of relationship in the past,<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__st__60__p__287218#entry287218 青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013]</ref> possibly romantic.<ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref>

==== Vodka ====
Shiho and [[Vodka]] have met and are acquaintances.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] and Shiho have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Shiho fears Vermouth more than other Black Organization members except perhaps Gin: in the first times, the feeling of her presence can even entirely paralyse her<ref>[[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 231: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref>. Shiho was initially Vermouth's target, but Vermouth promised to give up on her after Conan's intervention.<ref name=CD239/> She broke this promise later when Bourbon discovered a video of Sherry, still clinging to her personal conviction that Shiho is the one person who can't be allowed to exist in the world.<ref>Manga File 818</ref>

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]] knew Haibara's parents and sister, but they didn't know each other.

== People who know Haibara's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Ai Haibara's identity}}
These people know Haibara's true identity: Professor Agasa, Conan, Vermouth, Pisco, Heiji Hattori, Yukiko Kudo, Yusaku Kudo, and Shuichi Akai. It is also possible that James Black and Jodie Starling of the FBI know Haibara's true identity since they call Haibara by her codename "Sherry", although they may not know yet her true name.

== Character popularity ==
*eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Haibara placed 4th in the poll with 686 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

*In honor of the release of the 15th movie, ''[[Quarter of Silence]]'', the official Conan movie website held a popularity poll for the top 10 Detective Conan characters.

*In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Haibara placed 3rd overall with 1,592 votes.

== Name origin ==
According to Agasa, Ai Haibara's name comes from [[wikipedia:Cordelia Gray|Cordelia '''Gray''']] (the character 灰 in her name means "ash") and [[wikipedia:V.I. Warshawski|V.'''I'''. Warshawski]] ("Ai" comes from the letter "I"). Although Agasa suggested she use the kanji 愛 (love) for "Ai", she preferred to use the kanji 哀 (sorrow).<ref>[[Volume 18#File 179 - The Girl Made of Lies|Volume 18, File 179: "The Girl Made of Lies"]]</ref> Her US FUNimation name, "Vi Graythorn", has similar roots. However, Gosho Aoyama in an interview posted in the May 2014 issue of Da Vinci magazine stated that the "Ai" in Ai Haibara comes from '''I'''rene Adler, a character from the Sherlock Holmes story "A Scandal in Bohemia".<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Da Vinci|month=May|year=2014|publisher=Kadokawa Shoten}}</ref>

Her US Viz name, Anita Hailey, comes from:
* Anita: Anne Katherine Green (the first American Mystery Writer)
* Hailey: Hero (though Anita didn't care much for the choice)<ref>Case Closed Volume 18: File 179 - The False Girl</ref>

Her codename '''Sherry''' is Detective Shunsaku Kudo's (from [[wikipedia:ja:探偵物語|Tantei Monogatari (Detective Tales)]]) favorite liquor.

== Trivia ==
*Sherry is a fortified wine from white grapes that are grown near the town of Jerez, Spain. Most sherries are initially dry, with sweetness added later. This could be a play on her personality that the Black Organization recognized. To further confirm the pun, in the Spanish dub of the anime, her codename in the organization is "Jerez" rather than "Sherry" (in Spanish language, both the town and the wine share the name), although she was renamed later to "Sherry" again.
* Haibara is an animal lover.
* Haibara strongly dislikes getting shocked by static electricity. She used to have some accessories to dissipate the charge, but she seems to have given up on them after Conan taught her a good strategy to avoid being shocked.<ref>Manga [[Volume 61]], Files 5-7 (635-637), Anime [[Episode 525]]</ref>
* Haibara reveals to [[Fujiko Mine]] that she used to ride a Harley before she shrank.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref>
* The first appearance of Haibara has her hair colored as brown but later on changed to reddish brown. However, it's changed to brown again.

'''{{nihongo|Ai Haibara|灰原哀|Haibara Ai}}''', real name '''{{nihongo|[[Shiho Miyano]]|宮野志保|Miyano Shiho}}''', is the inventor of the [[APTX 4869]] poison that shrunk [[Shinichi Kudo]] into [[Conan Edogawa]], and a victim of the poison herself. Formerly '''{{nihongo|Sherry|シェリー}}''' of the [[Black Organization]], she is on the run from them and lives with [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. She is also one of few [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|characters who knows that Shinichi is Conan]].

== Background ==
=== Shiho Miyano ===
{{main|Shiho Miyano}}
[[Image:Investigation_Kudo's_house.jpg‎|thumb|right|170px|Shiho and other Organization members inspect the Kudo mansion.]] Shiho Miyano and her older sister, [[Akemi Miyano]], were born into the secret crime syndicate "The [[Black Organization]]". Her English mother, [[Elena Miyano]], and her Japanese father, [[Atsushi Miyano]], were both scientists working for the Black Organization on an important secret project. While Haibara was young, both her parents died in what was claimed to be an accident. While Akemi lived a normal life, the highly intelligent Haibara was groomed to take over her parents' research. A child prodigy, she was sent to the United States for education at a very young age, and then later came back to Japan to finish her parents' secret project, "Silver Bullet".<ref>Manga [[Volume 38]], Files 2-4 (384-386)</ref>. By the age of thirteen she was working as a scientist for the Black Organization.<ref>Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization five years ago. He did so by becoming Akemi’s girlfriend in order to get close to Shiho and use her influence to get in. (Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past") According to the FBI’s description, Shiho was “a scientist for them” at the time. Furthermore this took place in Japan since everyone was speaking Japanese, Akemi lived in Japan, and the FBI bust two years prior to the current timeline was in Japan (607 pg 8). If Shiho is 18 now, she would be 13 at the time Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization and she was already a scientist for them at this point and high ranked.</ref> She was given the codename "Sherry", after the alcoholic drink.

Shiho was about 18 years old when she developed the experimental test compound [[APTX 4869]]. She discovered that it could be used as a poison to kill without leaving any traces of itself in a body. While researching its effects, Shiho noticed that one of her lab mice had become younger after being given the drug instead of dying, though she did not report that effect. Meanwhile, the Black Organization started human trials, using APTX 4869 to commit untraceable murders. Unaware of the drug's rare side effect when they used it on [[Shinichi Kudo]], the Black Organization ordered a search for him because his body had not been found to confirm his death. Shiho and her team searched Shinichi's house twice after he had been shrunk to confirm his death for the Black Organization. She began to suspect Shinichi's transformation after the second search, when she found that his clothes from primary school had gone missing. Shiho then confirmed him as deceased so the organization would not look into the matter further and kill him after all.

[[Image:Shiho_taking_APTX4869.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Shiho swallows [[APTX 4869]].]]
Shiho was unhappy that the Black Organization's was using the incomplete APTX 4869 for murder, as that was not the drug's intended purpose. When Shiho received word that her sister Akemi had been killed, but was given no explanation why, she decided to boycott her research until the Black Organization gave her an adequate explanation. Instead, the Organization confined her in a small room to await her execution. With no other way out, she took a pill of APTX 4869 to commit suicide, but instead shrank into a six or seven year old girl. In her new, smaller body, she escaped from the Black Organization and attempted to reach Shinichi's house, hoping he might be able to help her. Exhausted, she collapsed in front of Shinichi's house, where she was found by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], who eventually adopted her.<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> In fact, as it turned out later, Agasa was acquaintances with her parents—especially her father—even though he didn't know at that time that they had children or were part of the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Chapter 398: The Torn Friendship, Part 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 423: A Mystery Left by a Visitor</ref>
{{clear}}

=== Ai Haibara ===
[[Image:Haibara_founded_infront_of_Kudo's_house.JPG|thumb|right|245px|Haibara collapsed in front of Kudo's house.]]
To prevent the knowledge of her transfiguration from being discovered, Shiho and Professor Agasa create her alias ''Ai Haibara'' (known as Anita Hailey—recently Vi Graythorn—in the English dub). As Ai Haibara, she attends [[Teitan Elementary School]] with [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s shrunken form, [[Conan Edogawa]]. Following her first adventure with the [[Detective Boys]] in which they investigate the disappearance of a schoolmate's brother, she reveals her true identity to Conan and the fact that she had developed the [[APTX 4869]].<ref>Manga Chapter 178: Code Name Sherry</ref> At first stunned, then outraged, Conan protests her presence,<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> but as time passes, he accepts Haibara as a friend and fellow victim, though her cynicism and secretive air still rail him at times. Haibara also joins the ranks of the [[Detective Boys]], and although she does not think too highly of her teammates' immature antics, she has come to value them all as close friends.

Haibara has begun working on [[Prototype Antidote|an antidote]] for the APTX 4869, but since most of the important data had been stored on computer files, which are now mostly destroyed, the work progresses slowly. Conan also eventually succeeds in persuading [[Vermouth]], who was attempting to track down Shiho and had found out about her new identity, to leave Haibara in peace, easing the air of menace which had loomed over Haibara until that time.<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple</ref>

Vermouth breaks her promise when the Black Organization member [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]], who had been assigned to look for Sherry, discovers a video of Shiho taken while Haibara was using a [[temporary antidote]] to rescue the detective boys. When the Black Organization attempts to kill or capture her aboard a train, a counterplan devised by Conan, [[Subaru Okiya]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], and [[Kaitou Kid]] results in an explosion that preserves Shiho's secret identity and makes all the Black Organization members besides Vermouth believe she is dead.

== Personality ==
[[File:Ai - Sai Brand's Wallet.jpg|thumb|Haibara asking for a ''Sai Brand'''s wallet for her cooperation]]

Haibara has a calm and cool personality, sarcastic wit, and high intelligence. When freshly escaped from the Black Organization, she was cynical and pushed others away. Haibara has since defrosted by embracing her new child life and has established strong relationships with Conan, the Detective Boys, Agasa, and Ran.

As Ai Haibara, she speaks and acts older than she is supposed to be, which results in the Detective Boys referring to her as "cool" or "mature". This is emphasized by her impressing general knowledge, even in areas without relation with sciences (such as theology or history<ref>[[Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys|Episode 212: Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys]] where she explains the religious myth of the Fall</ref><ref>[[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear|Episode 232: The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]] where she explains the death of Marie-Antoinette</ref>). Despite her jaded demeanor, she can be kind and caring, though usually more to animals than people. Haibara tends to be quiet, though this may be due to her caution to keep herself hidden from the Black Organization. She considers Conan and the Detective Boys the first real friends she has ever had, and is even willing to sacrifice herself just to ensure their safety.<ref>Manga Chapters 289: Bus Hijacking Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 434: Rotten Apple Case</ref>. Indeed, she considers herself as a threat for them, since the Black Organization will most likely eliminate all of them once she is found. That is why she describes herself as "dangerous and not like the others"<ref>[[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear|Episode 233: The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]]</ref>

[[File:Episode213.JPG|thumb|left|Mitsuhiko assisting Haibara after bandaging her sprained foot.]]

Haibara is generally a loner and misses her older sister, Akemi, greatly (in the film ''[[Countdown to Heaven]]'', she would call her sister's old apartment just to hear her voice on the voicemail). Her greatest fear is being caught by the [[Black Organization]], and she is especially terrified of [[Gin]] and [[Vermouth]]. She tries to keep Conan from doing reckless things that may give away their identity, though often she is surprised by his actions which usually result in gaining the information he needs while also keeping their identities secret. However, whenever Conan is reckless in regards to keeping his identity from Ran, Haibara is the one who plans ahead in order to keep him from being revealed.

While she generally accompanies her fellow Detective Boys to soccer matches played by the Tokyo Spirits, Haibara herself is a fan of [[Culture#Soccer|Big Osaka]] in general and of the player [[List of minor recurring manga characters#Celebrities|Ryusuke Higo]] in particular, especially since the latter has likewise abandoned a "black organization" (Noir Tokyo) after the team had betrayed him and had remained an outcast in public opinion for a time.<ref>Manga Chapters 344-346: Soccer Supporter Case</ref> Because she occasionally works overnight on the antidote for the APTX 4869, she tends to be tired quite frequently, causing Conan to call her an "evil-eyed yawny girl" on one occasion.<ref>Manga Chapter 680: A Dangerous Couple</ref>

In the OVA ''[[A Secret Order From London]]'', Haibara reveals to [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] that she likes sandwiches with a mixture of peanut butter and blueberry jam, from her schooldays in America. However, since [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] caught her eating one of these sandwiches—especially since Haibara was on her part constantly pestering him into eating low-calorie foods only—she had to abandon that habit for a while.<ref>OVA 11: ''A Secret Order From London''</ref>

=== Taste for fashion ===
[[File:Haibara and fashion.png|thumb|Haibara reading fashion magazine 'Com Com']]

Haibara seems to have some interest in fashion, as she has made repeated requests for a certain type of purse when asked to do something. For instance, when [[Miwako Sato]] declares she would do anything for the one who will solve her father's mystery, she asks for Prada's newest handbag model<ref>[[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3|Episode 205: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 3]]</ref>. What's more, in one of the cases, in order to expose the identity of the person who hid the phone cables to cut off communications with the outside world, she was asked by Conan to fake an unbearable appendix pain, which she agreed to after jokingly requesting for a Fusae Brand's wallet for her cooperation. She then started rolling on the floor and screaming for help. The culprit felt like he had no choice but to reveal the cable from his pockets and reconnect the phone to ask for an ambulance. <ref>[[A Code of Stars and Tobacco|Episode 374-375: A Code of Stars and Tobacco]]</ref> She is also seen with a Prada cell phone case in the Mystery Train case. Haibara reads 'ComCom' magazine (a name similar to Japan's 'CanCam' fashion magazine) during a soccer game in the Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case. <ref>[[The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case|Episode 130: The Indiscriminate Stadium Threatening Case]]</ref> In OVA 11, the Detective Boys wrongly began to suspect Haibara was a child model from America, due to her looks and knowledge of fashion and makeup.

===Ryusuke Higo fan===
[[File:766-1.png|thumb|left|Haibara's listening to "Dandy Lion"]]

Haibara becomes a big fan of [[List of minor recurring manga characters#Celebrities|Ryusuke Higo]] after knowing Higo was originally a member of the Noir Tokyo team with his half-brother Rikuo Endo, he transferred once it was revealed that Noir had just exploited him. For this reason, he has become an empathic role model for Ai Haibara, as seen in [[Hooligan's Labyrinth]] case. Haibara also like to hear [[Yoko]]'s songs due to the fact that Higo also like the songs.<ref>[[Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case|Episode 765-766: Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case]]</ref>

== Appellations ==
Although most people will call Haibara by her name suffixed with ''-san'' (due to her personality), and some with ''-chan'' (due to her agreement), a lot of the characters have different ways of calling her due to their different relationships. The following is a list of the different appellations for Haibara (and the ones Haibara gives in return) encountered in the series.

== Plot overview ==
=== [[Episode 129|Introduction of Ai Haibara]] ===
[[File:129-1.png|thumb|left|First Haibara's "evil" appearance]]

Conan's class receives a new student named Ai Haibara. She acts rather cold and reserved when the Detective Boys try to befriend her, and Genta notices she's looking at Conan suspiciously. She tells them where she lives but Conan fails to realize it's at Agasa's home (Tokyo blocks are not numbered in sequential order and Conan has never had reason to learn Agasa's mailing address due to their being neighbors).

After school, a boy named Toshiya asks the Detective Boys to find his missing brother. The Detective Boys along with Haibara investigate Toshiya's house and finds a painting of [[Wikipedia:Natsume Sōseki|Natsume Sōseki]]. Toshiya reveals that before his brother disappeared, a woman, who had an interest in that portrait, approached Toshiya's brother. The Detective Boys search around town to ask whether anyone has seen the woman or Toshiya's brother. Conan notices that a man was using a counterfeit ¥1000 and realizes Toshiya's brother was actually kidnapped and forced to help create counterfeit bills. After following the man along with the clues Toshiya's brother left behind, they are able to apprehend the organized crime group and save Toshiya's brother.

[[image:Ai cries.png|thumb|Haibara cries on Conan after asking him why hadn't he helped her sister.]]
On the way home, Haibara reveals to Conan that she is a former member of the Black Organization, with the code name "Sherry". She actually betrayed the group and escaped with the use of the APTX 4869, which caused her to become a child. She reveals that she once accidentally sent a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization to her older sister, and the disc is now in the possession of her sister's professor, Masami Hirota.

Agasa takes Conan and Haibara there to retrieve the disk, only to discover that Hirota has been murdered. The suspects are Hirota's three students who visited that day. Conan reveals the culprit to be a man named Akira Shirakura; Shirakura after bludgeoning Hirota to death and tied the answering machine cassette tape around the key to the room which rewound when a call was made, subsequently dragging the key into the room. As evidence, Conan reveals that Shirakura's fingerprints should be found on the tape. After seeing Conan's amazing display of logic after she had given up on the case herself, Haibara breaks down and asks Conan why he could not save her sister, Akemi, from the Black Organization. Conan finally makes the connection that the "Masami Hirota" who Gin killed was actually Shiho's sister, and sympathy for Haibara's attitude stirs in him. The disc is taken into police custody, but once it is released to them Haibara attempts to read the files off the disk—only to have [[Night Baron|a virus]] delete all the data.

=== [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] ===
[[image:Sherry-getting-shot.png|thumb|left|150px|Shiho shot by Gin.]]
In Episode 176-178, Conan encounters Gin and Vodka again. Haibara is kidnapped and confined to a wine cellar by the Black Organization member [[Pisco]], but she escapes before Gin and Vodka arrive by drinking [[baijiu]] to turn back into an adult. Gin anticipates her actions and intercepts her on the roof. Gin shoots her repeatedly, hoping he can force her to explain how she escaped from the Organization. Conan prevents Gin from killing her by shooting the man with his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer wristwatch]]. Conan tells Haibara to jump into the chimmey, and Vodka shoots at him, but Conan gets away. Gin purposely shoots himself in the arm to stay awake. Inside, Pisco almost kills Haibara, but Conan rescues her after tricking Pisco into accidentally causing a fire. Gin kills Pisco for failure before Pisco's able to tell him the truth that Shiho Miyano has deaged into a young girl. Worried that the Organization is after her, Haibara decides to leave the city. Conan anticipates that Gin will predict her next move as leaving Tokyo, so it will be better if she does the unexpected and remains in Beika. Unknown to Conan or Haibara, [[Vermouth]] saw Haibara at the party and uses her expert disguise skills to get closer to Haibara and Conan in order to confirm Haibara's identity as Sherry and then kill her.

=== [[The Desperate Revival]] ===
[[File:Flower gun.png|thumb|Haibara's about to shoot Conan.]]

Conan finds out that Ran suspects him of being Shinichi, because Ran said she knew Conan's blood type for a blood transfusion. While Conan is in the hospital contemplating admitting his identity to her, Haibara enters and points a gun at his head, saying that the Black Organization has found out about her due to an unknown agent being present at the Pisco incident. Because of this, Professor Agasa is held hostage and, in exchange for his life and a chance to return to the Black Organization, Haibara is required to terminate all the links she had in her child identity. However, when she pulls the trigger a bunch of flowers come out, showing that the story was just an act. Still, she uses this story as her point: both Haibara and Conan cannot reveal their identities no matter the situation, in order to prevent such a tragedy from occurring.

During that night, Haibara explains her plan to disassociate Conan from Shinichi in Ran's eyes. She has Conan take a [[prototype antidote]] for APTX 4869 and then disguises herself as Conan. For the rest of the arc, Conan returns as Shinichi while Haibara is present as Conan, thus creating the illusion of Shinichi and Conan existing at the same time, disproving that the two are the same person.

At the end of the Desperate Revival arc, the antidote begins to run out and Shinichi runs into the bathroom, where Haibara is still disguised as Conan already waiting for him. She predicted that Shinichi would run into the men´s bathroom after the symptoms of the back transformation would start to appear. She then switches Shinichi into Conan's clothes after the antidote runs out.

===[[The Mysterious Passenger]]===
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|left|Haibara in pinch]]

Vermouth, disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], boards a bus that Haibara, Agasa, and the Detective Boys are riding to a ski resort. Whatever plan Vermouth might have had is completely interrupted by the bus being hijacked by random criminals and the presence of two FBI agents that have been tracking her: [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Shuichi Akai]]. Haibara detects Vermouth's presence on the bus. She becomes so afraid that the Detective Boys, Conan, and Agasa will be killed because of her that she decides to commit suicide, staying deliberately in the bus whose explosion was imminent. Only Conan's quick thinking saves her, and he asks her to not run away from life. However, those events make her remain anxious for several days.

Due to almost similar appearance between Jodie and Vermouth in this case, most viewers tend to make conclusion that Jodie and Vermouth are the same person. This is because when Vermouth dialog is played, it shows Jodie after that.

{{clear}}
=== [[Episode 345|Showdown with Vermouth]] ===
[[File:345-1.png|thumb|right|Ran covering Haibara from getting shot]]

Vermouth finally launches her plan to kill Shiho. She prepares a distraction to lure Conan away so that Haibara is alone at Agasa's. Taking advantage of the fact that Haibara has practically become ill from fear, she calls as Dr. Araide to tell Haibara she is taking her to the hospital because she has been unwell for so long. The eavesdropping FBI agent [[Jodie Starling]] arrives first to protect Haibara and starts driving her towards the shipping yard where the FBI have laid a trap for Vermouth.

In a complicated turn of events, Vermouth reveals she already thwarted Jodie's trap, and then shoots her. Haibara then reveals herself to be Conan; Yukiko had helped with his disguise while Conan sent [[Heiji Hattori]] to participate in Vermouth's distraction. The real Haibara then shows up which distracts Conan long enough for Vermouth to dart him with his own stun-gun watch. Just as Haibara is about to be killed, Ran, who had suspected Jodie of being untrustworthy and decided to spy on her, jumps from Jodie's car trunk and protects Haibara. Vermouth is unwilling to kill either Conan or Ran because they had saved her life in the past. Part of the reason why she originally did not tell the rest of the Black Organization about Haibara's true identity is likely because they would find out about Conan too and then silence him and everyone around him as well.

Before Vermouth can come up with another plan, the other FBI agent, [[Shuichi Akai]] arrives and forces Vermouth to flee with Conan as a hostage. Vermouth dials [[anokata|the boss]] of the Black Organization to lie to him about why she was injured. Conan overhears the number and threatens to give it to the police for analysis unless Vermouth promises that she will give up on trying to kill Haibara. Vermouth consents and escapes.

=== [[Episode 394|Pandora's box]] ===
In Episode 394, Conan figures out the boss's full number, but Haibara warns him not to call it because it is "[[Wikipedia:Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]". Conan then thinks he can get Detective Takagi to figure out who the number belongs to, but then Haibara warns that if he does, Detective Takagi will be killed. This scene is the first time Haibara openly reveals to Conan that she has been hiding important secrets about the Black Organization from him; earlier she [[Black_Organization#APTX_4869_and_Biochemistry|had lied to him]]. The exchange suggests that Haibara is withholding information because she fears Conan will make a rash move.

===[[Episode 509|Subaru Okiya]]===
[[File:Haibara doesn't like Okiya.PNG|thumb|left|Haibara does not like Subaru]]

Not long after Akai's death, Conan hears fresh intel from the [[FBI]] that a new [[Black Organization]] agent called [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] is looking for Shiho, which Conan keeps secret from Haibara. As Conan and Haibara investigate a normal case, Haibara feels that an organization member is around. The organization member which she felt is implied to be one of the innocent suspects, [[Subaru Okiya]]. Conan invites Okiya to live in Kudo's house since Okiya's apartment was burnt to the ground. Okiya appears in other cases later on, including at the Haido mall where the rest of the Black Organization gathered to chase a rumored sighting of a [[Scar Akai|scarred Shuichi Akai]]. Although Okiya is trusted by Conan and Agasa and kind to Haibara, she remains frightened of him. Later, some of his actions lead her to believe he might be someone she knows and she comes to trust him more, even attempting to uncover his identity when she thought he was asleep.

{{clear}}
===[[Episode 699|Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret]]===
[[File:Shiho_700.png|thumb|Haibara turns into Shiho via the [[Prototype antidote|prototype antidote]] for the first time]]

Later, when Haibara is forced to revert to Shiho using a [[temporary antidote]], a video of her as an adult is sent to the Mouri Detective Agency by Mitsuhiko which Sera, Okiya, and Amuro find out about. Because of this, Haibara is later targeted by a plot concocted by Vermouth and Bourbon aboard the Bell Tree Express Train. Bourbon is revealed to be Amuro and Haibara learns that he knew her parents. Bourbon was hoping to capture Shiho alive, but Vermouth's modifications to his plan which were designed to kill her led to Shiho supposedly being blown up on the train. The Shiho Vermouth and Bourbon thought was killed was really [[Kaitou Kid]] in disguise, Conan having forced him into the plan. Because of this, all of the Black Organization besides Vermouth think Shiho is now dead, and Vermouth is unable to reveal the truth to the rest of them without also compromising Conan, Haibara and their deaged condition against her wishes.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
====Conan Edogawa====
[[File:Shiranpuri derp.png|thumb|left|Haibara's reaction after hearing Conan's ''[[Clash_of_Red_and_Black#Ready_to_Die_.28Manga:_605-608.2C_Anime:_503.29|Shiranpuri]]'' plan]]
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}

Both are de-aged by APTX and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes Haibara and [[Conan]] close confidants and more sympathetic to one other than most other characters. Conan is one of the few people in front of whom she has shown any signs of weakness, such as breaking down over her sister's death. Ai Haibara has romantic feelings for [[Conan]]/[[Shinichi]], although she never truly admits to it (due to her assumption of Conan loving Ran). Haibara expresses a lot of interest in Conan's personality, intelligence, and sense of justice. If Conan is in danger she is willing to throw away her life to save him, overriding fears and concerns for her own safety that would ordinarily paralyze her. Similarly, Conan has saved Haibara's life more than once when she would have sacrificed herself for his and the [[Detective Boys]]' safety. Haibara also often enjoys teasing Conan which Conan takes in good stride. Conan is oblivious of Haibara's feelings and sometimes finds it difficult to deal with her sarcasm and impudent, cold nature. Although close on many matters, they still don't fully trust one another with information about the Black Organization out of concern for the safety and feelings of the other.

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[File:772-1.png|thumb|Haibara is typing a mail to Professor Agasa angrily for cheating his diet]]
{{main|Agasa family}}

The relationship between Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] is rather unusual, if not humorous. Despite their actual ages, Haibara often acts more like a mother to the professor, constantly reminding him to watch what he eats. On several occassions, she has removed fattening foods from his reach<ref name=Depths>[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref>, and is attempting to help get him into better shape. There have also been instances where she'll automatically step in front of Agasa in cases of danger.<ref name=Eyes>[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref> Out of all the people she's met, Haibara seems most comfortable about acting herself with Professor Agasa; which might be attributed to the fact that he was the one who found her after she escaped the Black Organization, and took her in.
{{clear}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:247-1.png|thumb|left|Haibara's first greeting with Ran]]

There are instances where Haibara will caution Conan from actions that involve [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. Early on, she is cold and distant towards Ran, even more so than she is to most other people. Ran believes that it is because Haibara hated her,<ref name=Net>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref> though in truth it is because Ran reminds Haibara strongly of her dead sister.

After Ran notices Haibara is not feeling well and carries her to safety during a case, Haibara finally properly introduces herself to Ran, and they slowly became friends. Because Haibara finds that Ran resembles her older sister, Akemi Miyano, she takes special interest in protecting her. These feelings increase after Ran jumps through a slew of bullets from [[Calvados|a Black Organization sniper]] to save Haibara.<ref name=Vermouth>[[Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon|Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match With the Black Organization; Two Mysteries of the Night of the Full Moon]]</ref> Haibara immediately thinks of her own sister, and begins acting to try to protect Ran from the organization, such as when Haibara begs for Ran to stay at Agasa's house when she knows that [[Korn]], [[Chianti]], and the rest of the Black Organization are lurking about, immediately thinking of her own sister's death, and wanting to keep Ran safe.<ref name=KornChianti>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!]]</ref>

Assuming that Conan has romantic feelings for Ran, Haibara feels jealous of her and suffer from considering herself as less attractive than Ran. She even implies that Ran would be similar to a dolphin, when she would only be a shark coming from the cold depths of the sea, indicating that she cannot compete against her<ref>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref>.

====Subaru Okiya====
[[File:685-2.png|thumb|Haibara uncovering Subaru's scrarf]]

The first time [[Subaru]] appears, Haibara felt a strange feeling toward him and thought he is a member of the Black Organization. However, the feeling kept coming and going. In later episodes, Haibara doesn't seem to hate him so much anymore. She even tries to uncover Subaru's scarf to check something behind his neck, probably noticing some small machines made by Professor Agasa.

====Dai Moroboshi====
[[File:701_8.png|thumb|left|Dai Moroboshi in Haibara's thought]]

Haibara knows [[Dai Moroboshi]] as her sister's boyfriend. She deduces that Dai approaches her sister just to collect information about the Black Organization. Later on, she meets a [[Scar Akai|guy]] similar to him in [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] and wonders how he got the scar on his face.
{{clear}}

=== Detective Boys ===
Haibara has tried to keep an emotional distance away from the rest of the Detective Boys at the beginning. However, over time, she can't resist their friendliness anymore and gradually warms up to them.

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
[[File:330-1.png|thumb|left|Ayumi is happy for being allowed to call Haibara by her name (Ai)]]
{{Main|Ayumi Yoshida}}

Out of the Detective Boys, Haibara is the closest with [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. At one time, Ayumi noticed that she called everyone by their first names except for Haibara and decided to try and call her "Ai-chan", but without success. At the end of a case which involved a shattered friendship, Haibara told Ayumi that it was okay for her to call her "Ai-chan". When Mitsuhiko and Genta tried to call her that, however, she told them that only Ayumi was allowed to call her by her first name.<ref name=Ai-chan>[[A Friendship That Can't Be Bought|Episode 329-330: A Friendship That Can't Be Bought]]</ref> On the whole, Haibara seems to see Ayumi as a little sister, even going so far as to physically shield her from danger.<ref name=starsandtobacco>[[A Code of Stars and Tobacco|Episode 375: A Code of Stars and Tobacco (Part 2)]]</ref> Besides, Ayumi is one of the people who teach her that she cannot win by always running away, and that she has to face her enemies<ref>[[Episode 347|Episode 347: Find the Buttock's Mark]]</ref>.
However, Haibara and Ayumi may almost be love rivals, since both seem to develop romantic feelings for Conan: Ayumi even asks her if she is in love with him, and is really frightened when she is answered positively (she eventually cheers up when Haibara says she is not).<ref>[[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case|Episode 205: The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case]]</ref>
{{clear}}

==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya ====
[[Image:279haibaramitsuhiko.png|thumb|right|220|Haibara listening in on Mitsuhiko's radio.]]
{{main|Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
Haibara's classmate and fellow detective [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] develops romantic feelings for her, and Haibara is fully aware of this. Haibara uses Mitsuhiko's feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also does admire his intelligence and courage during missions the Detective Boys must perform and respects his feelings. In some episodes she even shows more confidence in Mitsuhiko than in Ayumi or Genta when the going gets tough.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Sherry}}
[[Gin]] has an abnormal attachment for Shiho and seems to enjoy hunting her, while she hates and fears him. They had some sort of relationship in the past,<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__st__60__p__287218#entry287218 青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013]</ref> possibly romantic.<ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref>

==== Vodka ====
Shiho and [[Vodka]] have met and are acquaintances.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] and Shiho have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Shiho fears Vermouth more than other Black Organization members except perhaps Gin: in the first times, the feeling of her presence can even entirely paralyse her<ref>[[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 231: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref>. Shiho was initially Vermouth's target, but Vermouth promised to give up on her after Conan's intervention.<ref name=CD239/> She broke this promise later when Bourbon discovered a video of Sherry, still clinging to her personal conviction that Shiho is the one person who can't be allowed to exist in the world.<ref>Manga File 818</ref>

==== Tooru Amuro ====
[[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]] knew Haibara's parents and sister, but they didn't know each other.

== People who know Haibara's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Ai Haibara's identity}}
These people know Haibara's true identity: Professor Agasa, Conan, Vermouth, Pisco, Heiji Hattori, Yukiko Kudo, Yusaku Kudo, and Shuichi Akai. It is also possible that James Black and Jodie Starling of the FBI know Haibara's true identity since they call Haibara by her codename "Sherry", although they may not know yet her true name.

== Character popularity ==
*eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Haibara placed 4th in the poll with 686 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

*In honor of the release of the 15th movie, ''[[Quarter of Silence]]'', the official Conan movie website held a popularity poll for the top 10 Detective Conan characters.

*In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Haibara placed 3rd overall with 1,592 votes. (First place of all female characters)<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
According to Agasa, Ai Haibara's name comes from [[wikipedia:Cordelia Gray|Cordelia '''Gray''']] (the character 灰 in her name means "ash") and [[wikipedia:V.I. Warshawski|V.'''I'''. Warshawski]] ("Ai" comes from the letter "I"). Although Agasa suggested she use the kanji 愛 (love) for "Ai", she preferred to use the kanji 哀 (sorrow).<ref>[[Volume 18#File 179 - The Girl Made of Lies|Volume 18, File 179: "The Girl Made of Lies"]]</ref> Her US FUNimation name, "Vi Graythorn", has similar roots. However, Gosho Aoyama in an interview posted in the May 2014 issue of Da Vinci magazine stated that the "Ai" in Ai Haibara comes from '''I'''rene Adler, a character from the Sherlock Holmes story "A Scandal in Bohemia".<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Da Vinci|month=May|year=2014|publisher=Kadokawa Shoten}}</ref>

Her US Viz name, Anita Hailey, comes from:
* Anita: Anne Katherine Green (the first American Mystery Writer)
* Hailey: Hero (though Anita didn't care much for the choice)<ref>Case Closed Volume 18: File 179 - The False Girl</ref>

Her codename '''Sherry''' is Detective Shunsaku Kudo's (from [[wikipedia:ja:探偵物語|Tantei Monogatari (Detective Tales)]]) favorite liquor.

== Trivia ==
*Sherry is a fortified wine from white grapes that are grown near the town of Jerez, Spain. Most sherries are initially dry, with sweetness added later. This could be a play on her personality that the Black Organization recognized. To further confirm the pun, in the Spanish dub of the anime, her codename in the organization is "Jerez" rather than "Sherry" (in Spanish language, both the town and the wine share the name), although she was renamed later to "Sherry" again.
* Haibara is an animal lover.
* Haibara strongly dislikes getting shocked by static electricity. She used to have some accessories to dissipate the charge, but she seems to have given up on them after Conan taught her a good strategy to avoid being shocked.<ref>Manga [[Volume 61]], Files 5-7 (635-637), Anime [[Episode 525]]</ref>
* Haibara reveals to [[Fujiko Mine]] that she used to ride a Harley before she shrank.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref>
* The first appearance of Haibara has her hair colored as brown but later on changed to reddish brown. However, it's changed to brown again.

'''{{nihongo|Eisuke Hondou|本堂瑛祐|Hondō Eisuke}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Eisuke Hondou first appeared soon after one of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s confrontations with the [[Black Organization]], in which it was revealed that popular newscaster [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]] was one of their members. He enlisted into Teitan High School and quickly made friends with [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Sonoko Suzuki]], who noticed the striking similarity to Mizunashi.

Some time later, Eisuke visited [[Kogoro Mouri|Ran's father]] in his office, where he also ran into Conan. After expressing a vivid interest in Mouri's work, he was invited by Ran to come by anytime, much to the displeasure of Conan, who had become suspicious of Eisuke. This suspicion was confirmed by the fact that in subsequent cases Eisuke made several blunders which would 'incidentally' contribute to the solution of the relevant case.

[[Image:Eisuke hondou eating with his father.jpg|200px|thumb|Eisuke eating okonomiyaki with his father when he was a kid.]]
In time, Conan found out that Eisuke was indeed related to Rena Mizunashi. He had come to Tokyo looking for clues of his sister's whereabouts, sparked by him seeing her working as a newscaster by happenstance. He learned the truth from Conan, Hidemi and [[Shuichi Akai]] - that his sister, as well as [[Ethan Hondou|his late father]], were working for the CIA against the Black Organization. Following this revelation, he was offered a place in the Witness Protection Program, which he refused, though he decided to follow in his family's footsteps by joining the CIA one day. Alone with Conan, he also confessed that he had fallen in love with Ran and wished to take her with him to America. When Conan protested, Eisuke laughed out loud, stating that Conan's reaction was the final confirmation he had needed: that Conan was really [[Shinichi Kudo]], and that in fact he was responsible for the "Sleeping Kogoro's success." With this revelation, he asked Conan/Shinichi to take good care of Ran in his stead, thus promising to keep his secret.
{{clear}}

== Personality ==
Eisuke is a person with extremely bad luck. He's constantly bumping into or falling over something. However, his clumsiness belies a sharp intellect and keen talent for observation: With only few clues to work with, he was able to track down his vanished sister to the Haido Central Hospital, where the FBI was keeping her under guard, and even penetrate the facility to confront Rena Mizunashi - who really was his sister [[Hidemi Hondou|Hidemi]] - before he was discovered by Conan. He figured out that Shinichi and Conan were the same person before even meeting Conan and managed to force to the truth out of him later.

As a person, Eisuke is usually quite jovial and friendly, though very emotional at times; in stressful situations he often lets his feelings get the better of him.

===Secret Path to School (Manga: [[Volume_49#Missing_Classmate_Case|507]], Anime: [[Super_Secret_of_the_Road_to_School|427-428]])===
Ran mentions they have a new transfer student in their school who looks like Rena Mizunashi, that student is Eisuke Hondou. With that description, Kogoro expects that Eisuke is a girl before actually meeting him.<ref>[[Super Secret of the Road to School|Episode 427-428: Super Secret of the Road to School]]</ref>

===The Two Who Cannot Return (Manga: [[Volume_49#Locked_Car_Murder_Case|508-510]], Anime: [[Two People Who Can't Return|429-430]])===
Ran's new classmate, Eisuke Hondou wants to meet Kogoro Mouri so he visits his office. He says he wants to meet Kogoro to borrow some of his luck, and considers Kogoro's way of solving cases while sleeping as when God comes to him. Eisuke accompanies Kogoro and they discover a body. He starts observing Kogoro and even questions why Conan is beside Kogoro while solving the case. Conan begins to suspect Eisuke, but drop it when he hits his head on the car's headliner.<ref>[[Two People Who Can't Return|Episode 429-430: Two People Who Can't Return]]</ref>

===Sealed Western Window (Manga: [[Volume_51#Sealed_Window_Case|530-532]], Anime: [[The_Sealed_Western-Style_Window|446-447]])===
Eisuke and Conan are beginning to grow suspicious of each other. It is shown that Eisuke may be easily scared in his reactions to the tales of the demon. He is also able to make some impressive deductions in relation to the murder case, but eventually, his solution is incorrect.

=== Shadows of the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume_53#Giant_Hammer_Case|550]]-[[Volume_54#Mysterious_Job_Case|555]], Anime: [[The_Shadow_of_the_Black_Organization|462-465]])===
Conan starts getting more suspicious of Eisuke. He suspects that Eisuke is related to Rena Mizunashi as well as the Black Organization. He realizes that Eisuke keeps on trying to put the subject on Rena Mizunashi by telling them hints about a missing TV personality lately, bringing them to the place wherein she got into an accident and taken custody by the FBI and other Rena-related things. He also notices that they have the same technique to find out if someone lied where Rena tested it on Conan before.<ref>[[The Shadow of the Black Organization|Episode 462-465: The Shadow of the Black Organization]]</ref>

=== Nail and Snake (Manga: [[Volume_53#Giant_Hammer_Case|551]], Anime: [[The_Shadow_of_the_Black_Organization|462-463]])===

=== The Mysterious Job (Manga: [[Volume_54#Mysterious_Job_Case|554-555]], Anime: [[The_Shadow_of_the_Black_Organization|464-465]])===

=== The Unsmashable Snowman (Manga: [[Volume 54|556-558]], Anime: [[The Unsmashable Snowman|466-467]]) ===
Conan mentioned Eisuke to Ai. Conan felt that he's not a bad person but Ai cautioned Conan that he was just acting to let his guard down but Conan responded that he saw him crying and thought that he was unable to solve some problem or there was something else but Conan decided to let it go for now.

===Three Days with Heiji Hattori (Manga: [[Volume 54|559]]-[[Volume 55|566]], Anime: [[Three Days with Heiji Hattori|479]]) ===
Conan mentioned Eisuke to Heiji and asked Heiji to Check on something. Heiji asked why he had to do it and if Eisuke had something do with Osaka. Conan responded that he wanted him to check on the person who had the same eyes as Eisuke, Rena Mizunashi, and told Heiji that she was a Black Organization member. Heiji was shocked then Conan told him about the her accident and Conan told him to look up on Eisuke background while looking over on her background.

===Billing Fraud Case (Manga: [[Volume 56|585-586]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|491]]) ===
When Ran, Sonoko, and Conan visit a friend from Middle School in a hospital, they coincidentally meet Eisuke who is looking for his sister, who left 10 years ago. His sister looks exactly like Rena Mizunashi but Eisuke insists that they are different people. To determine whether they are the same or not, they decide to visit a big fan of hers to confirm it. Koushi Anno, a big fan of Rena, tells them that he thinks they're the same person and show them a video wherein Rena has the same hairstyle as in the picture. But Eisuke insists that they are different since the video proves that Rena's blood type is AB, which can't be possible because when he was a kid, he remembered receiving a blood transfusion from her sister and his blood type had been O.

===Deceased Mother's Memento (Manga: [[Volume 57|587-590]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|492-494]])===
[[File:Eisuke and Ran Bathe.jpg|200px|thumb|Conan Imagines Eisuke and Ran bathing together.]]

Ran tells Sonoko that she knew where Rena Mizunashi was addressed. Sonoko asks why she did not tell Eisuke. Ran replies saying that she thought that Eisuke would be disappointed that Rena was not his sister. Conan assured that the Black Organization would take an interest in Eisuke because he shared resemblances to Rena. When Sonoko asked about his blood type, Eisuke fell down and said his blood type is O. Then he accompanied Kogoro to a client who was close to his mother who work as a housekeeper. There, Eisuke found his birth certificate showing that his blood type is O, leaving his sister's blood type unsolved. When Eiko Okudaira assumes that Ran was Eisuke's girlfriend, Ran says to her that it's nothing like that, while Eisuke says that she was not his girlfriend. Conan explains that they were here to find out what Eisuke's blood type was, and asked if he was right while looking at Eisuke with a jealous face. While solving a case, the butler tells Conan that Ran and Eisuke were in the bathroom. Conan thought that they were bathing but discovers that Ran was helping him change his clothes. Ran told Conan that she was a bit surprised when he took off his shirt in front of her so suddenly. Conan notices a scar on Eisuke's chest and wonders about what it could be.

===Clash of Red and Black (Manga: [[Volume_57#Fake_Patient_Case|595]]-[[Volume_59#Foreign_Suspect_Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-504]])===

After winter break, Conan learns that Ran has lost contact with Eisuke. The last time that Eisuke talked to her was when he told her that he found a clue on his father's company in Haido Central Hospital, the same hospital wherein Rena was secretly confined. Conan decide to inform Jodie about his suspicions on Eisuke. Jodie tells him that Eisuke's father was CIA spy and was killed by Rena four years ago. He later realizes that Eisuke found a Black Organization member and is currently in the hospital. The FBI decide to search for the undercover Black Organization member. While searching in the hospital for clue on Eisuke and the Black Organization, a nurse informs Conan that she remembers that Eisuke had a surgery in Tokyo due to his leukemia.

The night before they decide to move Rena, Eisuke visits Rena's room and attempts to force her to wake up. When he tries to stab her with scissors, Rena stops him and calls him Ei-chan. She tells Eisuke that it is reason enough to get out of this without asking her anything else, but Eisuke refuses to believe it, saying that her blood type is AB while his is O. Conan appears and says that his blood type is now AB and that Rena, who is actually his sister, is member of a certain organization. Hidemi and Eisuke now have the same blood type, AB, after he received a bone marrow transplant from her when he had leukemia. Eisuke is shocked at this revelation. Conan explains that he heard his from a nurse who also explained that the scar in the middle of his chest was due to multiple insertion of a needle to test a tumor that was circulating in the marrow. Eisuke asks why did she not tell him about it and why she changed her name and became an announcer. Conan says that she is a CIA agent, as well as his father, Ethan Hondou. Rena becoming an announcer was part of the plan, and she was going to pretend to be a different person if he came after her. Conan respond to Hidemi that the plan backfired since Eisuke come see her in this condition. Eisuke becomes confused and asks about the organization. Akai then appears and says that this is all the information he is permitted to know. Camel forces Eisuke to leave.<ref>[[Clash of Red and Black|Episode 491-504: Clash of Red and Black]]</ref>

===Karaoke Box Case (Manga: [[Volume_59|619]]-[[Volume_60|621]], Anime: [[The Blind Spot in the Karaoke Box|507-508]]) ===
Conan and Haibara meet Ran, Sonoko and Eisuke in a book store Conan ask Eisuke that he heard that he was not is school for awhile Ran respond that Eisuke reinstated today and Ran Mention that she heard that Eisuke was absent due to a illness and was recuperated from illness while Sonoko Tease Him that it was Love Sickness and Eisuke respond it just only a regular illness. Eisuke remarks that "he probably won't need" a study book the girls are buying, and that he "hates to be restricted by anything; even time." Eisuke visits a karaoke box along with Ran, Sonoko, and Conan. Conan and Haibara notice that a man is trailing the group, and Conan suggests that the man is likely an FBI agent keeping tabs on Eisuke, since he refused access to the Witness Protection Program.

In the karaoke box, Eisuke leaves to visit the bathroom. He takes a very long time to return, and does so with a terrified expression. The body of the man trailing the group is discovered in another room. Conan suspects Eisuke, since he is under the impression that the deceased was tracking him. However, it is soon revealed that the man was in fact a stalker with a fixation on Sonoko. (What had frightened Eisuke was when he mistakenly opened another customer's room, he saw what he mistook as two men kissing.) Ran is very glad that Eisuke is innocent, to the point where her eyes become tearful.

At the ending of the case, Eisuke walks home alone with Conan. He asks Conan to speak with Shinichi about his intentions to marry Ran and live with her in America. Conan angrily tells him that he can't, and reveals his identity as Shinichi Kudo to Eisuke. Eisuke laughs, and informs Conan that he had guessed it all along- showing all his deductions to Conan. He then tells Conan that he will move to America and join the CIA, following in his father and sister's footsteps.

==Plot exposition==
===Hints that Eisuke was the biological younger brother of Rena Mizunashi===
[[Image:Hondou Eyes.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Rena and Eisuke's eyes match.]]
* They look alike. Both have unique matching eye designs.
* Rena Mizunashi mentioned having a little brother just after the Ding-Dong Dash case.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 9, pg 16: "Ding-Dong Dash"</ref> After hearing that the child's mother died, which mirrors her own family situation<ref>Deceased Mother's Memento</ref>, she became emotional to the point of crying. Conan noted a similar reaction of Eisuke's later<ref>Nail Snake and Hammer case</ref> likely meant he wasn't acting.
* Eisuke has a mark on his chest where a needle was inserted to monitor his leukemia.<ref>Deceased Mother's Memento</ref> A nurse later revealed that he has leukemia and was given a bone marrow transplant from his sister. Bone marrow transplants change the blood type of the receiver to that of the marrow donor, so Eisuke's blood type changed from type O to type AB. Later his sister was able to donate AB blood to him because of this.
* Hidemi and Eisuke both use the same classical lie detection technique - feeling for the pulse while watching the pupils - which is taught by some American law enforcement agencies.

===Hints that Eisuke was not a member of the Black Organization===

* He uses a classical lie detection technique - feeling for the pulse while watching the pupils - which is taught by American agencies. He learned it from his father who was a CIA agent.
* Conan discovered that Ethan Hondou, Eisuke Hondou's father, was a member of "The Company" - a nickname for the CIA. The Black Organization knew Ethan Hondou's real name and that he was a spy. Thus it would be unlikely for them to take Eisuke in because of his family history.
* Eisuke had strong suspicions that Conan was Shinichi evidenced in several questions he asks Kogoro about Conan's activities at crime scenes. Despite this, the Black Organization did not take action against Conan which implies Eisuke and the Organization are not in contact.

== Relationships analysis ==
===Family & Friends===
====Hidemi Hondou====
[[File:Hidemi and Eisuke.jpg|200px|thumb|Hidemi Carrying Eisuke when he was a Child.]]
His sister had always and taken care of him. Eisuke mentioned that when he was a child, he got injured getting hit by a car, and she saved his life by donating her blood to him. Eisuke said that she was the reason why he's alive today and try to find her. While infiltrating the Black Organization, Hidemi had to cut off all contact with her family including Eisuke. Eisuke never gave up on finding his older sister even though she left when Eisuke was only about seven. Hidemi seemed to care a lot about Eisuke despite being separated; she burst into tears after meeting a young child who had been stalking her because she looked like his dead mother. When she discovered Eisuke was getting close to her trying to uncover her identity, she risked a meeting with Kogoro Mouri, hoping to convince him to take Eisuke away from her to keep him safe, and promised to tell information to the FBI if they put Eisuke in the witness protection program.

====Ran Mouri====
In [[The Blind Spot in the Karaoke Box]], Eisuke has some interest in [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. He admits to Conan that he loves Ran and claims that he would take Ran to America and live happily ever after there, and wonders if he should ask for Shinichi's permission. Conan, without hesitating, refuses, revealing his identity.

====Conan Edogawa====
Eisuke shows interest in Conan. Eisuke often asks why Conan was around when Kogoro solved cases. Later, Conan reveals himself as Shinichi to Eisuke, and Eisuke reveals that he had suspected Conan's identity for a while. They share a neutral farewell when he goes to America to to join the CIA in his father and sister's footsteps.

====Ethan Hondou====
Ethan Hondou was Eisuke's father. They used to eat okonomiyaki together at a restaurant when Eisuke was a child. Ethan later committed suicide in order to cover Hidemi's identity as a CIA operative.

====Kogoro Mouri====

====Sonoko Suzuki====

== Name origin ==
Eisuke's name comes from '''Bondo''' (ボンド), the Japanese pronounciation of (James) '''Bond''', and mystery writer '''{{nihongo|[[wikipedia:ja:海渡英祐|Eisuke Kaito]]|海渡英祐|Kaito Eisuke}}'''. The pronounciation of “本堂瑛祐” becomes of “Hondou Eiyuu” by on reading which means "real hero" in Japanese.

=== Situation ===
After participating in the opening ceremony, [[Conan]], [[Agasa]], [[Ran]], and the [[Detective Boys]] are enjoying the view from the observation deck of the 635-metre tall Bell Tree Tower. Suddenly, a bullet breaks through a window and strikes a man's chest, causing everyone to panic. Conan stays calm and uses [[Telescopic Lenses|the zoom]] function on his [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracking glasses]] to follow the path of the bullet to its source. At the other end, Conan spies a black shadow. "But sniping from so far away is impossible, it can't be--!" Conan and [[Masumi Sera]] pursue the fleeing sniper on [[Vehicles_in_Detective_Conan#Sera.27s_Yamaha_Artesia_XT400|Masumi's motorcycle]], but the chase takes a violent turn when the suspect attempts to blow up [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|police]] patrol cars. Even the [[FBI]] get involved in the chase, but the culprit and the mysteries of the sniping end up vanishing into the ocean.

The investigation turns up a connection to the special United States Navy squadron, the [[Wikipedia:Navy SEALS|Navy SEALS]] and other former US military officers working in Japan. However, the first sniping was just the beginning; as more people are shot, the citizens of Tokyo panic! What is the meaning of the rifle case and dice left behind? As his investigation progresses, Conan soon finds himself in the sniper's crosshairs, only to be saved by Masumi who intervenes and takes the bullet in his stead. And, in the background, [[Subaru Okiya]] begins to make his move...

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The sniper/culprit is '''Kevin Yoshino''', while the entire murder plan was created by '''Timothy Hunter'''. Kevin became Hunter's student and helped him carry out the plan because he wanted to repay Hunter for saving his life during their war operations in the Middle East.

The reason for the serial killings was that Waltz was jealous of Hunter's achievements, which belittled his own actions. Waltz set Hunter up so he wouldn't get the Silver Star. He even ordered Murphy to assassinate Hunter, but the bullet failed to kill him, although a fragment of it remained in Hunter's skull and damaged his optical nerves, severely impairing him. Yoshino eventually discovered the deception, but Waltz destroyed the evidence before it could be used in court, driving Hunter into conceiving his revenge plan.

Kevin attempted to kill Waltz, but Conan saved the latter by kicking a ball at him to knock him out of the bullet's way.

Ran, unaware of Conan's plan of saving Ayumi decided to went after Kevin herself but was tripped over and ended up being Kevin's target, but was saved thanks to a combined effort from Conan and Subaru, and she managed to took him down after that.

Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara

2014-11-30T16:53:34Z

Catstorm: grammar

{{Cleanup|date=September 2013|reason=Content needs to by copywritten. There are some grammatical errors, and more appropriate word choice is needed.}}

[[Conan]] and [[Haibara]] have an interesting relationship. Initially, Conan was suspicious of Haibara for being part of the Black Organization and the inventor of [[APTX 4869]], but he has since warmed up to her as a valuable teammate and someone to confide his thoughts with when they conflict with his child cover. On her part, Haibara expresses interest in Conan's personality, intelligence, and sense of justice. This has led to the theory that Haibara is in love with Conan.

In Episode 223, it is revealed that Conan knows Haibara's true name, [[Shiho Miyano]], but he never calls her that despite her calling him "Kudo-kun".

== Relationship analysis ==
[[Image:Conan_saves_Haibara.JPG‎|thumb|right|220|Conan rescues Haibara from the explosion.]]
It has been shown in various manga chapters and anime episodes that Haibara is hinted at having a crush on Conan. Whenever asked about it, however, she claims to be joking. Some fans think that she is trying to hide her pain on the fact that Conan loves [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. Conan always watches out for Haibara's safety and tries to protect and save Haibara on multiple occasions. He also worries about her mental condition whenever the Black Organization is involved. Both [[Yukiko Kudo]] and [[Jodie Starling]] have sensed and even hinted that Haibara might have romantic feelings for Conan, which Conan dismisses whenever it is brought to his attention. When Haibara is around, she is usually the first to notice Conan's actions and knows what he is up to. Haibara is also the first to remind Conan to act more like a child in order to protect his identity.

== Moments ==

=== (Episode 129) [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case]] - [[Volume 18]] File 6 ~ [[Volume 19]] File 1 ===
* Upon Haibara's arrival at Teitan Elementary School, Genta eagerly offers the seat next to him for her to sit in. But as Haibara walks towards the desks, she brushes right past Genta and takes the empty seat next to Conan, and in a monotone voice says to him, "Nice to meet you." Surprised, Conan responds with, "Yeah..."

* After class is over, the Detective Boys try to catch up with Haibara in the hallway wanting to ask her to walk home with them. Haibara ignores all of Ayumi's attempts to talk to her until she inquires about her address, to which she replies, "22 Beika Block, Second Street." Conan regards the address as familiar and remarks to himself that her house can't be too far away from where his is. Haibara then looks over her shoulder and smirks at him, surprising Conan and causing him to blush. Genta notices and asks him if he "likes that stuck-up woman", which Conan is quick to deny.

* When Ayumi and Mitsuhiko are telling Haibara about the Detective Boys, she asks, "Edogawa-kun is in it too?". Shortly after, the Detective Boys come across a case, where a fellow classmate's older brother has been missing and wants to find him.
[[File:FirstTrueFace.png|thumb|left|240|That...was probably the first true face she ever showed me]]
* After solving said case, Ai fires a gun through a window, causing her to get a scolding from Inspector Megure. Haibara starts fake-crying (impressively well) to get out of it. Conan walks Haibara back home to her house, while she is still crying. When Conan drops her off nearby her home, Haibara immediately stops crying and then starts talking about a drug called "APTX 4869". Conan is confused, as Haibara continues to ramble about the drug and how he took it. It becomes apparent that Haibara isn't a normal little girl. It is not until Haibara tells Conan that she's occupied Professor Agasa's house and that he's "not in this world any more" that Conan begins to freak out. He tries to call Professor Agasa but doesn't get an answer while Haibara smirks evilly in the background. Conan then leaves Haibara behind and sprints to Professor Agasa's house, hoping to find him safe. After finding the Professor is safe, Agasa allows Haibara to explain herself to an angry Conan. She explains about her "role" in the organization and how she betrayed the organization and how she took the drug to escape from her prison.

* After exchanging information, Conan, Haibara, and Agasa plan to visit a university professor who could have accidentally been given a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization from Haibara's older sister. They visit his house only to find him dead in a locked room. After Conan solves the case, Agasa and Conan decide to head back home. When Conan gestures for Haibara to come along, a tear rolls down her face as she asks why he didn't help her sister. To answer a confused Conan's face, Haibara explains, still in tears, that Hirota Masami was a fake name that her sister took from the now-deceased university professor, and Conan realizes that Haibara's sister is the same girl who died during the One-Billion-Yen Robbery Case. Haibara continues to shout at a stunned Conan that, with all his deduction skills, he should have been able to see right through her sister's case. Haibara breaks down and falls on her knees in front of Conan and clutches his shirt and continues to cry into it. But Conan silently thinks to himself: "This is probably the first true face she's ever showed me."[[File:JustPerfect.png|thumb|right|240|I'm actually only 18 years old, just perfect for you.]]

=== (Episode 130-131) [[The Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case]] - [[Volume 19]] File 9 ~ [[Volume 20]] File 1 ===

Near the end of the second part of this case, Haibara stares off into the distance after Conan makes a joke about her being 84 years old. She tells him, "Ara, I'm actually only 18 years old, just perfect for you," before staring off into the distance again. Conan seems really surprised, even after Haibara adds that she was just kidding.

=== (Episode 136-137) [[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case]] - [[Volume 20]] File 10 ~ [[Volume 21]] File 3 ===
[[File:2Close.png|thumb|left|240|Ayumi: "What are you two doing!?"]]

While trying to figure out a chess code at a castle where the Detective Boys are staying, Haibara walks up to Conan, looks down at his paper, and asks if he is happy because that is his favorite thing. Conan blushes slightly when she looks up at his face and answers "I guess so..." Immediately after, they were interrupted by Ayumi yelling, "Hey! What are you two doing!?" which was really directed at Genta and Mitsuhiko.
[[File:Is it because_you like Conan-Kun.png|thumb|right|240|Is it because...you like Conan-kun?]]
Conan Edogawa later gets lost and when every one tries to look for him it starts raining. Haibara tells Ayumi to stop crying and that, "Edogawa-kun isn't the type to make you worry. He'll come back himself." She then comments on Ayumi's bag and about not letting her tears enter it. Ayumi replies, "Hey, how do you know Conan-kun so well..."
Haibara replies, "Come on. Why do you ask?"
"Is it because you like him, right?"
Haibara, surprised, recovers by asking, "What if I do?"
Ayumi replies, "Then...I'm in trouble," implying that there will be a love triangle if she does. Haibara sees Ayumi is worried and does not want to trouble her anymore, so Haibara plainly states she does not have those kinds of feelings for Conan.

=== (Episode 138-139) [[The Final Screening Murder Case]] - [[Volume 23]] File 1 ~ File 3 ===

At the start of the second Gomera movie, Ayumi falls asleep and puts her head on Conan's shoulder. When Conan turns to Haibara, saying he needs to use the restroom and asks her if she would switch seats, she has also put her head on Conan's shoulder, having fallen asleep as well.

=== (Episode 156) [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] - [[Volume 23]] File 10 ~ [[Volume 24]] File 2 ===
* The episode opens with Haibara and Conan in what looks to be an abandoned and empty room. Haibara tells him that she (possibly referring to Ran) has found out about his identity. When he asks her why she's telling him all this, she tells him that he can see into the hearts of the wicked, but he couldn't understand a woman's heart, then tells him that she's been in love with him since she met him. We see Conan's face, but it doesn't appear to be at all surprised, and Haibara continues with: "I guess you didn't even notice... Kamen Yaiba-san." After Mitsuhiko yells out "CUT!", it is revealed that both Conan and Haibara were merely acting, and practicing lines for Teitan Elementary School's play, with Mitsuhiko as the director.

=== (Episode 176-178) [[ Reunion with the Black Organization ]] - [[Volume 24]] File 7 ~ File 11 ===
[[Image: Haibara_Conan_episode_176.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan puts his glasses on Haibara.]]
* Conan and Haibara went to the Haido City Hotel to stop Pisco, a Black Organization member, before he kills someone as ordered by Gin, and also to possibly obtain a sample of APTX 4869 in order to develop an antidote. During the entire case, Haibara is seriously frightened of Gin because the night before she dreamed that he discovered her true identity and killed everyone she had contact with. She also confided to Conan that she dreamed that he was shot first, which may symbolize a great fear over any harm done to him.

* While they are in Professor Agasa's car following Gin and Vodka to the Haido City Hotel, Haibara seems to be pleased by Conan's decision to stop Pisco from murdering someone rather than just concentrating on Gin, Vodka, and the drug, and says, "Oh, what a strong sense of justice you have," with a proud smile. Because of his decision to do the right thing, she follows him into harm's way, knowing that she could be murdered immediately, and enters Haido City Hotel against her better judgement.

* After Haibara says, "Maybe if I had been killed by the organization back then, there would be less hassle for everyone," Conan cuts her off by giving up his glasses, the only thing preventing people from recognizing him, and putting them on her to make her feel safer. After they have an encouraging conversation about how this action bears similarity to Superman/Clark Kent's disguise, Haibara turns away bashfully and thanks him. He looks at her and says somewhat sarcastically, "You really aren't too adorable."<ref>Episode 176 (Kaze no ko)</ref>

* After Haibara shrinks back to child size, Conan puts his jacket on her naked body and carries her from the fire before Pisco and Gin can discover them.

=== (Episode 190) [[The Desperate Revival#The Third Choice|The Desperate Revival ~The Third Choice~]] - [[Volume 26]] File 2 ===
While Conan is lying in a hospital bed after a blood transfusion, Haibara sneaks into his room and held a gun at him. She tells him that the Black Organization would spare Agasa's life if she killed Conan and everyone else related to him. She then pulls the trigger, but it turns out that it was a fake gun that shot red roses from the barrel. Symbolically, red roses represent love or passion, suggesting that Haibara might have romantic feelings towards Conan.

=== (Episode 192) [[The Desperate Revival#Shinichi's Return and the Promised Place|The Desperate Revival ~Shinichi's Return and the Promised Place~]] - [[Volume 26]] File 7 ===
When asked by Conan (who has reverted back to Shinichi thanks to a prototype antidote) why she would go so far to help him, Haibara suddenly shows a surprised expression. Haibara replies by explaining that if something happened to him, then she would be in trouble as well.

=== (Episode 230-231) [[The Mysterious Passenger]] - [[Volume 29]] File 3 ~ File 5 ===
[[File:Whyareyoudoingthis.png|thumb|left|240|Hey Haibara, why are you going this far for me?]]
On a bus, Haibara becomes petrified because she feels the familiar and scary presence of a member of the [[Black Organization]]. Haibara mistakes the aura as coming from Jodie when it is really from Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide, who is sitting next to Jodie. When Jodie asks Conan for her name, she grabs onto his hand desperately and, understanding her fear, Conan says that she is a random girl that he happened to sit next to.

When the bus is evacuated and the bomb is about to go off, Haibara chooses to stay inside as a suicide attempt so that she wouldn't have to worry about her future, and so that she would no longer be a threat to all the people she was close to. Conan rushes back onto the bus, risking his life to save her. They jump out of the bus, but Conan gets injured in the process. He rubs some of his blood onto Haibara to give the police a reason to send her to the hospital, possibly as a way to keep an eye on her. As Haibara gets in the police car, he tells her not to run away from her destiny.

=== (Episode 233-234) [[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]] - [[Volume 29]] File 6 ~ File 8 ===

[[File:Icantseehowyourea90yearoldlady.png|thumb|right|240| Haibara blushes when Conan tells her to keep smiling]]
The hijacked bus incident in ''The Mysterious Passenger Case'' led Haibara to be especially worried about her situation. Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko attempt to cheer her up and, with the help of Arthur the dog, manage to make her smile. Conan comments that she should keep that expression, since it makes her look like a child, causing Haibara to blush. Conan then sneakily adds that with her face like that, he wouldn't think she's a 90-year old lady, to which Haibara counters, saying," How rude, I'm only 84 years old (referring to Conan's initial estimate in ''The Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case'')".

=== (Episode 246-247) [[The Mystery in the Net]] - [[Volume 31]] File 5 ~ File 7 ===

While she is at the beach with the Detective Boys and Ran, Haibara is saddened to realize that Conan is interested in Ran. She remains in the water until Ran notices she got a sunstroke. Conan wonders why she did not stay with Professor Agasa, and she answers that she did not want to run away from the dolphins; she adds that, being the stars of the sea, they are totally different from the malicious sharks fleeing from the cold and dark bottom of the ocean, who cannot compete with them. However, Conan fails to understand this metaphor, which draws a parallel between Ran and Haibara.

=== (Episode 269-270) [[The Forgotten Memento from the Crime]] - [[Volume 33]] File 7 ~ File 9 ===
Haibara appears to pity herself for not being able to confess her love to Conan.

=== (Episode 279-280) [[Hooligan's Labyrinth]] - [[Volume 34]] File 5 ~ File 7 ===
[[File:You'llprotectmeright.gif|thumb|right|200|"You're going to protect me, right?"]]
The events of the case made Haibara feel bad about her betrayal. Conan fears that she might take a train to flee and start a new life. He rushes and yells her name in order to hold her back, before realizing she is actually behind him. Haibara asks why he shouted, declares he told her not to run away from fate, and adds "You're going to protect me, right?", before stating sarcastically that she is not as weak as he thinks she is.

=== (Episode 294-295) [[The Smash of Determination and Love]] ===

At the beginning of the episode, Conan notices that Haibara, who usually does not participate in their trips, is acting a bit odd by deciding to come along. Conan comments, "I wonder what could have provoked you to come this time". Haibara says that she's not really interested in the trip itself, but just wants a place to focus on her reading while adding, "Besides, you can't protect me if I'm not with you, right?".
During the case, Conan and Haibara are sitting in a cafe trying to find clues from Ran. Haibara discreetly smiles at Conan as he is reading through a phone book.
After the case, Conan and Haibara have to run laps for missing the semi-finals. When Conan has three laps to go, Haibara catches up to him and says, "I'll run with you." However, right after that, Ayumi and the rest catch up with them and run the laps together.

=== (Episodes 335-336) [[Secret of the Tohto Film Development Studio]] - [[Volume 41]] File 4 ~ File 6 ===

[[Image:Haibara_Conan_episode_335.JPG|thumb|right|240|Conan and Haibara are sleeping side-by-side.]][[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] tells Conan that he seems to be popular with girls, since Haibara has been looking at him several times that day: "There's only two reasons for a girl to look at a boy like that: he has something on his face or she likes him." Not really convinced, he answers that Haibara must be checking the development of her test subject for APTX 4869. Before leaving, Yukiko encourages Conan to take care of the other kids, and Conan agrees, looking particularly at Haibara.

Later that night, Conan and Haibara happen to lie awake next to each other in a bed shared with the rest of the Detective Boys. Still curious about his mother's earlier comment, Conan tells Haibara, who has her back turned towards him, that he wants to ask her something. But when Conan eventually simply asks if he has something on his face, the same confused look appears on both of their faces.

=== (Episodes 346-347) [[Find the Buttock's Mark]] File 435 ~ File 437 ===

Jodie asks Haibara to join the [[Witness Protection Program]] for her own safety. Haibara turns down the offer because she wants to continue to stay with Conan, Agasa, and the detective boys rather than always running away.

=== (Episode 414) [[The Detective Boys' Bluebird Chase]] - [[Volume 49]] TV Original ===
After visiting a schoolmate's house, Conan tells the rest of the Detective Boys to head straight home. Genta replies, "It's you two (Conan and Haibara) that we're worried about staying out late". Haibara smiles and says," Well, that's a good idea," causing Conan to blush.

=== (Episode 425) [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]] - [[Volume 49]] File 1 ~ File 4 ===

Haibara showed concern over the possibility that Conan's transmitter (accidentally stuck on Black Organization member [[Rena Mizunashi]]'s shoes) might be discovered by the Organization. She supported Conan during the chase and Jodie felt that Haibara might be in love with him.

=== (Episode 427) [[Super Secret of the Road to School]] - [[Volume 49]] File 5 ~ File 7 ===

[[File:Conan_Cap_Haibara.png|thumb|right|240|Conan lends his cap to Haibara]]
After another Black Organization incident, Conan notices that Haibara is still on edge. He offers her his cap to ease her mind during a case.

=== (Episode 435-436) [[Information Gathered About the Detective Boys]] - [[Volume 50]] File 515 ~ File 517 ===
During a case, Haibara tells Conan to act childishly, playfully imitating his trademark "ah-le-le" and "okashi zo" phrases.

=== (Episode 507) [[The Blind Spot in the Karaoke Box]] - [[Volume 59]] File 11 ~ [[Volume 60]] File 2 ===

[[Image:Haibara cupped 2.jpg|thumb|right|240|Haibara cupped his cheek.]]Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are shopping for books in a bookstore. Conan walking while turning around and then suddenly Haibara finger-cupped his cheek and turned him. "They're on those shelves. You're looking for mysteries, right?" Haibara said. "Thanks," Conan replied.

=== (Episode 509) [[Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys]] - [[Volume 60]] File 3 ~ File 5 ===

In a scene, Haibara wants to know who Conan was talking to on his phone (she thinks it was the FBI). Conan says back, "It's not like a case (jiken) happened or something..." Just then, Mitsuhiko notices that behind them, a case is about to come up, prompting Ayumi to cry out, "An affair (jiken) between Conan-kun and Ai-chan!?" upon seeing the two together. As a common reaction, Conan and Ai stare at Ayumi with bewildered and surprised faces.
Later in the episode, when Ai senses the presence of a Black Organization member, she hides behind Conan, tightly holding onto his shoulder.

=== (Episode 568) [[Inspector Shiratori, Memories of the Cherry Blossom]] - [[Volume 66]] File 2 ~ File 4 ===
Haibara holds onto Conan's arm during a Gomera movie.

=== (Episode 585-587) [[The Kirin's Horn That Vanished into the Dark]] - [[Volume 68]] File 5 ~ File 8 ===
Haibara crouches in front of a seemingly unconscious Conan, only to be surprised to hear him say, "shiro (white)." After explaining why he feigned being knocked out, Conan complains, "This posture is really starting to hurt," to which Haibara replies, "That's right... and you can see things you shouldn't." "Ah, no...that was an accident," Conan tries to reason but Haibara wouldn't accept it, calling him a pervert instead. Conan says that he would have kept quiet if he were truly a pervert.

=== (Episode 597-598) [[The Scenario of the Steaming Locked Room]] - [[Volume 69]] File 4 ~ File 6 ===
[[File:HaibaraAyumi_Blushing.png|thumb|right|240|Haibara and Ayumi blushing and angry that Conan might have peeked at them.]]
Having burst into the women's onsen after hearing Ayumi and Haibara's screams, Conan discovers a dead body. Genta and Mitsuhiko proceed to interrogate Conan, resulting in the following comical misunderstanding:
Mitsuhiko (apprehensive): "By the way Conan-kun... how was it?"
Genta (apprehensive): "You saw that, right?"
Conan: "Saw what?"
Mitsuhiko: "You know, "that"."
Genta: "Ayumi screamed really loud, right?"
Conan: "Yeah, I saw..."
Mitsuhiko (surprised): "So you really..." (at this point, both Ayumi and Haibara are red with embarrassment)
Genta (surprised): "did see that?!"
Conan: "Yeah, sure did. it's quite natural when going to the bath to be totally naked and exposed."
Haibara (angry and embarassed): "You little - !"
Conan (clueless): "But you saw that too... the old man's corpse."

At a later scene, when Conan uses his voice-changing bowtie to imitate Professor Agasa's voice, Haibara saves Conan from having to explain his actions to the rest of the Detective Boys. Haibara (still irritated) says, "Don't sweat it. I won't let them ''peek'' at things they shouldn't, unlike you". Conan assures her, "If it's about that, don't worry. I didn't see anything besides your butt", causing Haibara to blush. Conan's later comments prove to be the last straw for Haibara and she gets her revenge at the end of the episode.

=== (Episode 705-706) [[Conan in a Locked Room]] - [[Volume 78]] File 8 ~ File 10 ===
[[File:What's dere about her.png|thumb|right|240|What's "dere" about her?]]
After the Bell-Tree Express incident, a visibly angry Haibara demands for the reason why she was kept out of the loop with regards to Conan's plans. Despite hearing Conan and Professor Agasa's explanations, Haibara continues to be annoyed, saying, "Anyway, if you do something like that behind my back again, I won't forgive you! I don't like feeling like I'm being played with.", to which Conan replies with a teasing smirk, "Ah, is that your way of saying 'Thank you'?". Haibara blushes, saying, "Are you stupid?" and walks off. Professor Agasa comments that Haibara is a ''tsundere'', prompting Conan to ask what's "''dere''" about her.

=== (Movie 4) [[Captured in Her Eyes]] ===

Haibara admits that she wants to forget about everything and always be with Conan "forever, just like this," which shocks him. However, she immediately says that she was just joking to make Conan feel better.

=== (Movie 5) [[Countdown to Heaven]] ===

When Sonoko shows up with her hair done to look like Haibara's, Conan fantasizes about Haibara in her adult form. In the climax of the movie, when the Detective Boys fly through the air to the next building in the car and Haibara is holding on to Mitsuhiko's hand to avoid falling to her death, Conan realizes she will get killed by the glass roof, so he kicks a biker helmet to break it in order to save her.

=== (Movie 6) [[The Phantom of Baker Street]] ===

Haibara saves Conan by pushing him away from a falling statue, sacrificing herself so that he can win the game that they are trapped in. Before she disappears, she encourages him: "Don't give up. Even without the helping characters, you are Holmes to us. There is that much ability within you. You're going to have to be our Holmes. There are no cases that Holmes can't solve, right?"

=== (Movie 11) [[Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure]] ===

During the case, Haibara finds a footprint around the back of the shop. Conan then asks her to take a picture of it for him. She replies "Since when did I become your assistant?" he then said "Not assistant, partner." Haibara then comments about Conan being a smooth talker.

=== (Movie 12) [[Full Score of Fear]] ===

After Haibara explains how Conan deduced the message that Haibara was relaying him to Professor Agasa, she quietly thinks to herself, "Moreover, I also believe in him as my partner," referencing the previous movie.

=== (Movie 15) [[Quarter of Silence]] ===

[[File:Alittletooforwardforakid.png|thumb|left|240|Aren't you being a little too forward for a kid?]]
As Conan holds Haibara tightly while riding his Turbo Engine Snowboard to rescue the Detective Boys, Haibara tells him, "Aren't you being a little too forward for a kid?" To which Conan hastily replies, "Yeah, yeah."

[[File:Sunaojanaina.png|thumb|right|240|You're not being honest]]

=== (Movie 16) [[The Eleventh Striker]] ===

In a football game between Big Osaka and Tokyo Spirits, Conan gets reprimanded by Genta, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi for cheering for the wrong team, encouraging him to act like a real Tokyoite instead. Haibara gives her Tokyo Spirits cap to Conan, reversing their usual roles. An initially puzzled Conan smiles in amusement as Haibara takes out and wears a Big Osaka cap instead. He comments that Haibara isn't being honest, to which Haibara gives him a pensive sideways glance.

=== (OVA 12) [[The Miracle of Excalibur]] ===

[[File:HaibarateasesConan.png|thumb|left|240|Haibara teases Conan]]
Haibara remarks that people in love often disguise it by being mean to the object of their affections. She then proceeds to emotionally torture Conan throughout the episode. She is also quick to notice a love triangle which Conan is oblivious of. Conan saved Haibara from a baseball that was going to hit her. Haibara was silent after Conan said "Why are you daydreaming? Jeez, it's because you're acting differently..."

The movie opens with a murder at Kurokawa Household.

{{InfoBox Crime

| suspects = Mina Kurokawa, Daisuke Kurokawa, and Manami Nagasawa
| description =
}}

[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] deduced from the victim's dying message, JUN, that it points to Mina Kurokawa. This is because June is also the dry month (Minazuki) and she was born in June, which earns a scold from Mina herself. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] then puts Kogoro to sleep and begins his own deduction.

<spoiler>
[[File:Movie1a Gallery.png|thumb|]]
[[File:Movie1b Gallery.png|thumb|Daizo Kurokawa is making the message "Ma-Na-Mi".]]
The culprit is '''Manami Nagasawa'''. The message isn't JUN, because the computer's keyboard was set to romanji mode instead of hiragana when Daizo typed out the message. The message in hiragana spells out "Ma-Na-Mi", which points to Manami herself. Further evidence indicates that the strangely wiped blood on the floor matches the stain on her sock. Manami confesses that Daizo was responsible for the failure of her husband's surgery and his subsequent death because Daizo was drunk before performing the surgery. She couldn't find any witnesses because everyone was scared of Daizo. Thus Manami came to work at Daizo's house as a housekeeper to eventually murder him on the day of her husband's death anniversary.
</spoiler>

[[File:Movie1c Gallery.png|thumb|left|Conan finds a strange letter (an invitation to a tea party) which is addressed to [[Shinichi Kudo]].]]
While sorting mail at [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s house, Conan finds a strange letter (an invitation to a tea party) which is addressed to [[Shinichi Kudo]]. The letter was sent from a man named Teiji Moriya who is a famous architect. Conan calls [[Ran Mouri]] using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changing Bowtie]] to mimic Shinichi's voice and tells her that he can't go to the tea party and asks if she would go in his place. He tells her to bring her dad, Kogoro Mouri, and "that kid" (referring to Conan).

Ran says she will do it but only if he goes to a movie with her on Saturday. Conan tries to make her change the date, but she is determined that it has to be on May 3rd. She then asks him what his favorite color is: red or blue. He says that it's red. Conan leaves the pay phone and, while walking home, tries to figure out why Ran wants the date to be on May 3rd. While on the way home he meets [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] who introduces him to [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].

While eating dinner with Ran and Kogoro, Ran tells Conan that she's taking Shinichi to the movies on May 3rd and when it hits midnight she will give her gift to him (which is a red polo shirt). Conan then realizes that May 4th is his birthday.

[[File:Movie1d Gallery.png|thumb|Kogoro is pondering Moriya's quiz.]]
Conan tricks Kogoro into going to the tea party as Kogoro doesn't want to go in the first place. They meet Teiji Moriya and tell him that Shinichi couldn't make it but that Kogoro is another famous detective. Moriya gives everyone a quiz and asks them to solve it. Conan is the first to solve it, so he gets to go to see Moriya's gallery with Ran. While observing the pictures, Ran tells Moriya that she is going to the movies with Shinichi and is going to be watching it in one of the buildings he designed.

The next day, Ran goes out to get some food while Conan goes to Agasa's house, trying to think of what to do for his movie "date" with Ran. A news station on T.V. reports that someone stole a large quantity of octogen, which is the main component for plastic explosives. Right after the report, Professor Agasa receives a phone call asking for Shinichi. The caller, who is using a voice changing device, tells Shinichi that he is the one who stole the octogen and tells him to give him his mobile phone number. Conan tells him his number and the man instructs him to go to Greenbelt Park or else the kids will die.

Conan uses his skateboard and rushes to Greenbelt Park where he finds [[Genta Kojima]], [[Ayumi Yoshida]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya]] playing with a remote controlled plane. Mitsuhiko tells Conan that a man with a mustache and a beard gave it to them. Conan notices that there is a bomb on the plane, so he takes the controller away from Mitsuhiko but he refuses to give it to Conan since it's Genta's turn. Conan tells them that there is a bomb on it and they drop it and the antenna breaks. The plane begins flying uncontrollably, so Conan uses his [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes]] and kicks the controller into the plane, blowing it up. Conan then realizes that this isn't a prank because those were plastic explosives. He then gets another call telling him about another bomb.

When Conan searches for the second bomb, he only manages to bring it to a deserted place before it blows up, which sends Conan flying into a tree. He wakes up in the hospital. They get another notice that there are more bombs planted on a train track. They also found out that one case related to Shinichi might connect to this mass-bombing event.

Shinichi is called to explain this accident by Megure.

The evidence does not indicate that Kohei was the driver of the car. It points to '''Mayor Okamoto''' as the actual driver.

Conan is able to figure out that the bombs use sunlight to reset the time and has the police navigate the trains out of the suspected area. All the bombs are then safely recovered. Later that day, Conan, Megure, Shiratori, and Kogoro go to Moriya's house.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan figures out that the famous architect '''Teiji Moriya''' has been the bomber all along. He was driven to this due to his obsession with symmetry. His plan was to blow up his older, less symmetrical buildings and replace them with symmetrical structures (all of the bomb targets were either at or near buildings he designed). His hatred for Shinichi is due to the fact that because of him, Mayor Okamoto(who supported his "Perfect Nishita Town") failed to become Nishita Town's governor, and his building plan was stopped. With his crimes exposed, Moriya attempts to detonate the bombs inside his house, but is stopped when Conan reveals that he removed the batteries earlier when he planted some fake evidence (Moriya's disguise outfits) to lure him into spilling the beans. However, Moriya taunts the group that he has '''one more''' place that he wants to destroy.

[[File:Movie1g Gallery.png|thumb|Conan contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the bomb.]]
Several bombs are revealed to be in the mall where Ran is. They explode and many civilians get trapped in the building. Conan (who enters the building after the first explosion) contacts Ran (using his tie to mimic his Shinichi voice) and tells her that she must find and disarm the last and largest bomb. Ran finds the box with the bomb. Conan, who is now separated from Ran by a damaged door, guides her through cutting various wires using plans left by Moriya. Ran is down to 2 wires, a red one and a blue one. The plans do not include any instructions regarding these two wires. If the wrong one is cut, it would result in the bomb detonating.

Conan loses hope, since this means that there's almost no way to keep the bomb from exploding, and tells Ran to do as she likes, since they are going to die together at this rate. Conan is then found by rescue workers and taken out of the building while realizing then the red wire is booby-trapped. However, Ran can no longer hear Conan's instructions, so he believes her to be in trouble. To his surprise, Ran cuts the blue wire and saves everyone. Conan asks Ran why she didn't cut the red wire (her lucky color). She replies that she didn't cut because she didn't want to sever the red string of fate between her and Shinichi.

The movie ends with Conan remarking that there is no "red string", and mentions that it's because "it's no use... as long as I'm Conan".

{{nihongo|'''Shiho Miyano'''|宮野志保|Miyano Shiho}} is a former [[Black Organization]] researcher, codenamed '''"Sherry"''', who was working on [[APTX 4869]]. After the Black Organization killed her [[Akemi Miyano|sister]], she took APTX 4869 to commit suicide but shrank instead. She fled the Black Organization and now currently goes under the alias of '''[[Ai Haibara]]'''.

==Background==
[[Image:Shiho_Miyano_computer_picture.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Shiho as she appears on Pisco's computer in the manga version]] Shiho Miyano and her older sister, Akemi Miyano, were born into the secret crime syndicate known unofficially as the [[Black Organization]]. Shiho's English mother, [[Elena Miyano]], and Japanese father, [[Atsushi Miyano]], were both important researchers for the Black Organization. They both died in what other members of the Black Organization described as an accident while Shiho was very young.

While Akemi lived a normal life, Shiho was sent to America as a small child to go to school and was groomed to finish her parents' research on [[APTX 4869]].<ref> File 384-386 Volume 38 File 2-4</ref> Most of her time in America was lonely; she ate lunch alone, and was otherwise isolated from her peers for being different. Despite the difficult social situation, Shiho was an academic prodigy, and by the age of thirteen she was working as a highly ranked scientist for the Black Organization.<ref>Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization five years ago. He did so by becoming Akemi’s girlfriend in order to get close to Shiho and use her influence to get in. (Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past") According to the FBI’s description, Shiho was “a scientist for them” at the time. Furthermore, this took place in Japan since everyone was speaking Japanese, Akemi lived in Japan, and the FBI bust two years prior to the current timeline was in Japan (607 pg 8). If Shiho is 18 in the present, then she would have been 13 at the time that Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization, and she was already a scientist for them at this point and high ranked.</ref> Her codename in the Black Organization is "Sherry", after the alcoholic drink.

Shiho was about 18 years old when she developed the most current incarnation of the experimental test compound [[APTX 4869]]. Although it was not her intended purpose<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, page 9</ref>, she discovered that it could be used as a poison to kill without leaving any traces of itself in a body. While researching its effects, Shiho noticed that one of her lab mice had become younger after being given the drug instead of dying. Meanwhile, the Black Organization started using APTX 4869 to commit untraceable murders.

After the death of her sister at the hands of [[Gin]], she later escaped the Black Organization after she took APTX 4869 to commit suicide but shrank instead to elementary school child age. Having had suspicions about the potential survival of [[Shinichi Kudo]], the only unconfirmed death of the human trial subjects, when she tried to run she eventually collapsed in the rain outside the house of Shinichi's neighbor, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. Agasa found and adopted her, and she now lives with him under the alias [[Ai Haibara]].
{{clearleft}}

==Personality==
Initially, Shiho was very cynical, which was reflected in her valuing her own security above idealistic principles of justice. She also did not wish to become close to others. While attending school in America, she ate lunch alone<ref>[[Volume 30|Volume 30, File 303: "Genta's Misfortune"]]</ref>. It was only by repeatedly approaching her that the [[Detective Boys]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] finally became her friends. Shiho was also untrusting of others in general, and preferred to put on an expressionless, cold mask while bottling up her pain and sadness. Shiho's views about death have been complex and at times contradictory. She was prepared to likely kill [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] with APTX 4869 as part of her tests, but on the other hand, she detested the Black Organization's use of APTX as a killing tool and Conan labeling her as a murderer.

Shiho speaks very formally.

===Changes as Ai Haibara===
Her time as [[Ai Haibara]] has softened her personality, making her more optimistic and open to Conan's idealistic pursuit of justice.

== Appearance ==
Shiho is a thin woman of average height with naturally wavy auburn hair at mid neck length. Although she is multiracial, she is Japanese looking.

== Abilities and skills ==
===Biochemistry===
Shiho is a biochemical genius, taking up her parents' research work on [[APTX 4869]] for the Black Organization by the age of thirteen after going to school in America.

===Medical knowledge===
Shiho has demonstrated knowledge of medicine, recognizing the symptoms of Shiratori's [[Wikipedia:Subdural hematoma|subdural hematoma]].<ref>Tokyo hostage/Matsuda case</ref> Using knowledge of osteology, she also is able to deduce a long decayed woman's ambulatory condition.<ref>Castle treasure case</ref>

==="Black Organization sense"===
[[Image:Ai's BO radar.png|thumb|right|Shiho as Haibara senses a Black Organization member is nearby.]]
Shiho has the ability to sense when Black Organization members are around, which she characterizes as their unique "smell" or "pressure". So far, her sense only detects Black Organization members and not people with malevolent intent generally,<ref>She has only claimed the sense for Black Organization members, and she does not seem to have the same magnitude reaction around people who aren't, such as case culprits, although she may be generally suspicious of them;</ref> however, it doesn't always trigger when Black Organization members are present.<ref>This is the case especially when the Black Organization members aren't focusing or in an aggressive mood. Numabuchi is an example of this.</ref> nor does it reveal their numbers.<ref>The case with Vermouth and Akai on the bus, and when she was unsure if Pisco had an accomplice (Vermouth) at the party.</ref> Sometimes the sense is fleeting ([[Subaru Okiya|Okiya]], or [[Akai]] passing by pursuing [[James Black]]), or context sensitive (when Akemi was planning the bank robbery).

===Pain tolerance===
[[Gin|Like]] [[Vermouth|other]] Black Organization members, Shiho has also demonstrated a strong tolerance for pain. During the initial apoptoxin transformation, Shiho does not scream despite the sensation of 'bones melting', as doing so would likely have ended in being caught and killed when someone came to check on her. It is unclear if she even passes out at all, and regardless she manages to recover quickly enough to escape through a chute/ventilation shaft before her captors know anything happened.

Additionally, she climbs barefoot up a chimney while extremely sick from the effects of a cold combined with [[Baijiu]]-induced regrowth. She then crawls back to the chimney after she is shot multiple times by Gin on the frigid, snowy roof. She still maintains consciousness after falling down the chimney over a story in height and experiencing the agony of reverting back to Ai Haibara. Nowhere during this ordeal or her rescue afterwards did she cry from the pain. Shiho also handled the painful side affects of being reverting back to an adult with a [[prototype antidote]] better than Shinichi.

===Shooting===
Shiho is familiar with firearms. As Haibara, she was confident enough to intentionally miss a shot with a handgun.

==Plot overview==
===Prior to Escape===
After being orphaned by the death of [[Atsushi Miyano|her]] [[Elena Miyano|parents]] at a young age, Shiho was groomed to take over their [[APTX 4869]] research project. She was educated overseas in America before returning to Japan at or before she was 13. She became a high ranking member, codenamed Sherry, in the Black Organization's internal drug development division.<ref>Conan Drill page 237</ref> When she was about 13,<ref>Five years before present timeline</ref> undercover [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] began dating Shiho's sister [[Akemi Miyano]] in order to use Shiho's rank to his advantage while infiltrating the Black Organization.

During the 5+ years Shiho worked in the Black Organization lab, Akemi was Shiho's lifeline to normalcy and her primary emotional support within the darkness of the Black Organization. Akemi would arrange meetings with Shiho in restaurants and such to chat about current happenings, and Shiho would sometimes tell Akemi about her Black Organization activities, although it appears she did not go into much detail.<ref name="Akemi Meeting">Volume 18, File 10, Page 15</ref> Akemi would also send Shiho floppies of pictures of her travels and friends which Shiho would quickly look at. During this time, Shiho accidentally mixed up the disks and mailed a disk of extremely sensitive information back to Akemi by mistake. The disk eventually would up in the hands of Akemi's professor friend, Masami Hirota.

[[Image:Investigation_Kudo's_house.jpg‎|thumb|left|170px|Search team were sent to Kudo's house to investigate.]]Closer to the beginning of the current timeline, Shiho Miyano was ordered to test the most recent, yet still incomplete, version of APTX 4869 on [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]], a failed assassin. Shiho received the data about him, but he managed to escape the Black Organization before she could test it on him. Shiho fled the Black Organization herself soon after, so her superiors never found a substitute test subject. [[Shinichi Kudo]] wound up being the first "guinea pig" of APTX 4869 according to [[Gin]], who decided to use the newly approved poison to kill him after Shinichi witnessed a Black Organization transaction.

Unaware of the APTX 4869's rare deaging side effect when they used it on Shinichi Kudo, the Black Organization ordered a search for him because his body had not been found. As the creator of the drug, Shiho was part of the team who searched Shinichi's house twice to confirm his death. She began to suspect Shinichi's transformation when she noticed his clothes from primary school had disappeared between the first and second searches. Sometime earlier, one mouse dosed with APTX 4869 had become younger, so she suspected something similar had happened to Shinichi. Shiho did not want the Black Organization to kill such an interesting "test subject" before she could examine him, so Shiho confirmed Shinichi as deceased so the organization would not look into the matter further. Shiho later met with Akemi and told her that she went to Kudo's house in Beika city to "look after something".<ref name="Akemi Meeting"/>

==== Akemi's robbery plan and death ====
[[Image:Conan newspaper.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's picture in the newspaper article about Akemi Miyano's death. Shiho remembered Conan from this picture.]]
Meanwhile, Akemi Miyano wished that she and Shiho could leave the Black Organization. The Black Organization itself was in an awkward position as Akemi had been in love with the FBI spy, Shuichi Akai, whose true allegiance had since been uncovered when Shiho was about 16.<ref>Two years before present timeline</ref> The Black Organization could not simply kill Akemi because that would jeopardize the loyalty of Shiho, who was valuable to the Black Organization's research efforts. Exasperated, the Black Organization came up with a trap for Akemi; they told her that she could leave the Black Organization with Shiho if she would rob 10 billion yen from a bank for them. The Black Organization expected Akemi to fail, which would give them the excuse to eliminate her while keeping Shiho loyal; however Akemi, with a team of robbers, succeeded in obtaining the money.

In the event of her success, the Black Organization had designed the second part of the robbery plan so that Akemi's assistants would kill each other or be unintentionally killed by the unwitting Akemi. However one accomplice had fled, forcing Akemi to use detective [[Kogoro Mouri]] to find him. After her first meeting with Kogoro, Akemi met with Shiho again.<ref name="Akemi Meeting"/> Akemi had not told Shiho about the robbery plan, but it seems that Shiho's detection of the Black Organization aura from Akemi<ref>Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest case (some translations do not have this line correct)</ref> and gossip had made Shiho aware that Akemi had done something dangerous. Without telling Shiho about the robbery, Akemi redirected the conversation to [[Conan Edogawa]], whom Akemi said was brilliant and had the composure of an adult. This conversation likely helped Shiho deduce Conan's identity as the missing Shinichi.

Later, after all the accomplices were killed, Akemi planned to hand access to the money over to Gin and Vodka at the shipyard.<ref>This is based on the manga version of this case. The anime alters this scene</ref> Instead, Gin murdered Akemi. A newspaper took a photo of the crime scene that included Conan looking downcast. Shiho later identified Conan using it.

Shiho already resented the Black Organization for using the incomplete APTX 4869 for killing purposes, but the news of Akemi's death was the final straw that induced Shiho to boycott her research until she received an official explanation for why her sister was killed. The Black Organization refused, and faced with the possibility that Shiho could defect or do something else drastic in revenge, decided to cut their loses by executing Shiho.

[[Image:Shiho_taking_APTX4869.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Shiho swallows the [[APTX 4869]]]]
===Escape from the Black Organization===
Awaiting her execution, Shiho was handcuffed to a wall in a sealed room that also featured a garbage chute too small for an adult to fit in. With no other way out, she took a pill of APTX 4869 she had pocketed to commit suicide before she could be killed, but instead she shrank into a six- or seven-year-old girl. In her new, smaller body, she slipped her hand free of the cuff and used the garbage chute to escape the sealed room. She then attempted to reach Shinichi Kudo's house, hoping he might be able to help her. Exhausted, she collapsed in front of Kudo's house, where she was found by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], who eventually adopted her.<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> After this, Shiho Miyano took up the role of Ai Haibara. It turned out later that Agasa was a professional acquaintance of her parents and had spoken some with her father, [[Atsushi Miyano]], even though Agasa didn't know at that time the Miyanos had children.<ref>Manga Chapter 398: The Torn Friendship, Part 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 423: A Mystery Left by a Visitor</ref>

{{Main|Ai Haibara#Plot overview}}
===Reunion with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume 24|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]])===
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]], Conan and Haibara find Gin's [[Cars#Porsche_356A|Porsche]] by chance. Conan plants a tracker and transmitter in the parked car and eavesdrops on Gin and Vodka when they return. Gin calls an agent named [[Pisco]] and discusses part of a plan to kill someone at a mourning party that will take place at the [[Haido City Hotel]]. Gin tells Pisco he can use the [[APTX 4869|"experimental detective"]] if needed. Gin then finds the tracker and destroys it, believing Sherry placed it there because he also found a single red hair that Haibara inadvertently lost while Conan was planting the bugs. Gin then warns Pisco about Sherry. Although initially reluctant, after hearing Pisco has APTX, Haibara decides to go to the party to try to obtain a sample. Pisco, who knew Shiho as a child, recognizes her as Haibara, kidnaps her using chloroform, and confines her in a wine storage room in another part of the hotel. He doesn't get the opportunity to tell anyone about his discovery because the police are rounding up suspects for the mourning party murder and he is one of them.

After Haibara wakes up, Conan tells Haibara to drink some [[baijiu]] in order to escape. While waiting for the change to occur, she copies some APTX data from a computer Pisco left behind onto a floppy disk. Haibara turns back into Shiho and changes into some leftover janitor clothes that Pisco left behind in the room as part of his disguise. Gin and Vodka break into the storage room looking for Pisco, but Shiho manages to hide herself just before they arrive by bracing her body in the chimney. Unfortunately, Gin hears her breathing and finds another one of her hairs. Instead of simply shooting her in the chimney, however, he goes to the roof to wait for her to finish climbing.

[[image:Sherry-getting-shot.png|thumb|left|175px|Shiho shot by Gin.]] After she climbs out of the chimney, Shiho is confronted by Gin, who shoots her from behind. After exchanging some banter, Gin demands to know how Shiho escaped from the locked chamber room. Shiho remains silent, so Gin shoots her several more times non-fatally, hoping she will crack. Eventually, Gin and Vodka realize she won't talk, so Gin prepares to kill her. Conan meanwhile has arrived and darts Gin in the back with his tranquilizer watch. Using the voice changer to disguise his voice, Conan orders her to get back to the chimney. Vodka shoots Shiho just as she reaches the chimney, so Shiho falls down awkwardly.

In the fireplace, Shiho reverts back into Ai Haibara while Pisco watches. He congratulates her for having made so much progress on the APTX, whose effects he has just witnessed. He tells Shiho he was a close friend of the Miyanos while they were still alive, and they told him much about the drug they were developing. He knew her from when she was a baby, even though Shiho does not remember him. Pisco prepares to shoot her, but Conan stops him by distracting him at the last minute. Conan manages to trick Pisco into setting himself and the room on fire, and carries Haibara out of the room on his back before Pisco can find them again. Gin comes down the chimney and confronts Pisco. Before Pisco is able to tell Gin the truth about Shiho and APTX 4869, Gin kills Pisco for accidentally getting his picture taken in the act of murder during the mourning party.

Conan sneaks Haibara to Agasa's beetle and gives her his jacket. Haibara then lies to Conan about losing the disk of APTX data she copied.<ref>The bloody disk is on the bottom of the stack shown in Volume 25 File 9 (Chapter 251), Page 8 and Episode 188.</ref> Worried that the organization knows that she has shrunk, Haibara tells Conan she must leave the city. Agasa tells Haibara that her identity is safe because he eavesdropped on the conversation when Gin killed Pisco by using the tracking glasses Shiho dropped when she fell down the chimney.

[[File:Shiho video.jpg|thumb|220px|left|The video of Shiho saving the [[Detective Boys]] (filmed by [[Mitsuhiko]]) that [[Amuro]] found on [[Kogoro]]'s computer]]

=== Temporary antidote in Gunma (Manga: [[Volume 77|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]])===
On a camping trip in Gunma, the Detective Boys run across a murderer burying a body and are chased to a cabin in the woods where the killer and the victim had been staying. The murderer bars the door and sets the cabin alight with the children inside. The strength of the children is not enough to open the door and Ayumi passes out from the smoke. With Conan nowhere nearby, Haibara takes a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]], borrows the victim's clothing, and uses the murder weapon - an axe - to break down the door. Mitsuhiko, not realizing who she is, films her carrying Ayumi from the burning cabin and mails the video to Kogoro hoping he would find their savior. Bourbon logs into Kogoro's computer and sees the video, precipitating the events on the Bell Tree Express.

=== Impersonation by Kaitou Kid and faked death (Manga: [[Volume 78|818-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|701-704]])===
[[File:Kaito_Shiho_824.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Kaitou Kid flies away in the Shiho disguise]]
To counter [[Tooru Amuro|Bourbon]] and [[Vermouth]]'s plan to capture or kill Shiho aboard the Bell Tree Express, Conan, with [[Subaru Okiya]] and [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s help, devised a plan to keep Haibara hidden and force the ignorant [[Kaitou Kid]], only present to scout ahead for a future heist, to disguise as Shiho and confront Bourbon. Bourbon wound up confronting "Shiho" and fell for the thief's disguise because Haibara told Kaitou Kid what to say. In the confusion that followed, Subaru Okiya separated the rearmost carriage from the train, which then blew up because Vermouth had planted explosives there intending to kill Shiho to prevent Bourbon from capturing her alive. Kaitou Kid escaped in the nick of time, but the rest of the Black Organization, sans Vermouth, now believe Shiho Miyano is dead.

==Relationships analysis==
===Family & Friends===
====Akemi Miyano====
After the death of Shiho's parents, Akemi became Shiho's only true ally within the darkness of the Black Organization. Through direct conversation and mail, Akemi showed Shiho the normal side of life that Shiho was unable to experience. Akemi would often admonish Shiho gently to do things normal for her age, such as encouraging her to get a boyfriend. Akemi's death had enough emotional impact to convince Shiho to betray the Black Organization by boycotting her research, even though she knew the act of defiance would likely result in her own death. Shiho greatly misses Akemi. In the non-canon [[Movie 5]], Shiho's desire to hear Akemi's voice again, even if only a message on a phone answering machine, was used by Gin and Vodka to nearly pinpoint Shiho's location.

====Elena Miyano====
Elena died when Shiho was young, so Shiho doesn't remember much of her. Elena left tapes for Shiho for each of her birthdays. Some of the messages are serious and mysterious, but others are more lighthearted and reveal things about Elena's past. It is clear from the tapes Elena loved Shiho very much, and Shiho misses her mother in turn and takes comfort in hearing her voice.

===The Black Organization===
==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Sherry}}
[[Gin]] has an abnormal attachment for Shiho Miyano<ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref> and seems to enjoy hunting for her, while she seems to fear and hate him. They appear to know each other well despite being in different parts of the Organization. Gin can identify Shiho from a single auburn hair. [[Episode 129|When Shiho escaped from the Black Organization]], Gin began searching for her, ordering Vodka to bring her back dead or alive. Gin and Shiho had [[Reunion with the Black Organization|a direct confrontation]] later in the [[Setting#Haido City Hotel|Haido City Hotel]]. Since then, Shiho has managed to avoid any more direct contact with Gin.

The theory that the two may have had a romantic relationship in the past has been mentioned in at least one official guidebook for the manga<ref name=CD239/> and has some traction in the fandom. [[Gosho Aoyama]] has deferred questions related to the issue in past interviews, asking for fans to be patient.<ref>青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013 [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/?p=287218]

Q: A girl asked about the "Sherry naked" thing, that why does Gin always think about her without clothes, what exactly is their relationship?

A: Gosho answered that they indeed had a relationship, but it wouldn't be interesting if (he) revealed it there, so please wait for it. The poster also mentioned that Gosho had a trolling (or something like that) laugh/smile at the time.
</ref>

==== Vodka ====
Shiho and [[Vodka]] have met and are acquaintances.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] and Shiho have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Shiho fears Vermouth more than other Black Organization members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Vermouth resents the Miyanos in general, but it is unclear if she hates Shiho specifically. That said, Vermouth considers Shiho to be someone who absolutely must die. If Shiho was in a romantic relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a sexual relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref>

====Shuichi Akai====
[[Shuichi Akai]] and Shiho are likely to have known each other via Akemi Miyano, whom Akai was dating. Shiho knew Akai under his alias "Dai Moroboshi", and she likely knows he was a spy and an FBI agent. In chapter 824, Bourbon mentions that Dai Moroboshi worked for the FBI in front of Kaitou Kid, disguised as Sherry, who was listening through a microphone <ref>Manga Chapter 824 ([http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b40277b84692b54c491654534be7ccf/tumblr_mpc528w9hS1qfn9zio1_r1_500.png])</ref>. Nonetheless, as Haibara, she is still afraid of and senses the "Black Organization aura" from Akai. Akai recognizes Haibara as Shiho, saying he is not willing to face her yet, likely over guilt related to the incidents culminating in Akemi's death.

==Name origin==
"Shiho" (志保) means "will and sail", her surname is "Miyano" (宮野). Sherry is Detective Shunsaku Kudo's (from [[wikipedia:ja:探偵物語|Tantei Monogatari (Detective Tales)]]) favorite liquor.

== Plot ==
=== Story ===
Fourteen-year-old Shinichi Kudo practices soccer in Beika Park, being admired by several children who compare him to [[Hideo Akagi]]. A man, Koichi Akimoto, interrupts to ask if Shinichi had seen Koichi in the park at 10:00 AM the previous Thursday. Shinichi did not, but he loiters in the park to watch as the man tries to find other witnesses. Koichi is shocked that Shinichi did wait and asks why; Shinichi answers that he is a detective, and notes that two other men in the park are actually two undercover cops watching Koichi. From that display of skill, Koichi asks Shinichi to help clear him of the charge of murdering his grandmother. Shinichi realizes that Koichi is trying to establish witnesses for his alibi, which was that he was drunk and sleeping on a secluded patch of grass in the park, having cancelled a trip to visit his grandmother. With some prodding of his memory, Koichi recalls that when he was in the park before he heard a bark and saw a woman walking by on the other side of a short retaining wall with something black, which he believes was a black dog. Shinichi concludes that if a woman walked a dog that day, she will likely be in the park at the same time on other days. He promises to meet Koichi at Beika Park the next morning to investigate, even though that means skipping class to do so.

Walking to school the next day, Shinichi discusses the case with Ran. Ran mentions she knows a woman who walks her dog every day in the park, but Shinichi is disappointed to learn that her walking route is not visible from where Koichi had been. Ran suggests that Koichi might be clairvoyant to have seen them anyway, but Shinichi strongly protests that such abilities don't exist, otherwise there would be no need for detectives or police to solve mysteries. Ran insists that there are some mysteries that no one can solve, even though Shinichi says he can, and they stop talking to each other without resolving the argument. Later that morning, Shinichi finds the woman and dog that Ran mentioned. However, to Shinichi's disappointment, the woman is positive she did not walk past Koichi's position while he was there. Shinichi heads straight home, pondering what Koichi saw and how to confirm the alibi.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Shinichi returns to the park the next morning and meets Genta, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko on a routine walk with their preschool teachers and classmates. The teacher did not see Koichi, but the three kids say that they did see him while chasing a butterfly. Koichi is delighted, but the police refuse to accept witness testimony solely from a trio of three-year-olds. Back at home once again, Shinichi ponders over the mystery of the dog; [[Yusaku Kudo]] offers to help but Shinichi insists on solving the case by himself. Yusaku offers Shinichi's violin to him to "help him think", but Shinichi returns it to its case because he says [[Sherlock Holmes]] only used his violin to pass the time, not to contemplate cases. As Shinichi does, he realizes that the top half of the case looks very similar to the general outline of a dog—certainly an easy mistake for a hungover, sleepy businessman.

The next day, Shinichi once more meets Koichi and the other two policemen at the park. Shinichi asks Koichi and the taller policeman to lie down on the grass and close their eyes. When he tells them to open their eyes, both men think they see a dog on the other side of the short wall; instead of a dog, however, it turns out to be a woman carrying a guitar case. Shinichi explains that because Koichi heard a dog bark elsewhere, he mistook the case for a dog. The woman with the guitar case tells the two policemen that she did walk through the park and saw Koichi on that Thursday at 10:00 AM. Koichi is delighted that his name is cleared. Not long after, the policemen receives news about the true killer and they rush off. Koichi gratefully tells Shinichi that Shinichi will become a great detective.
</spoiler>

This leads into [[Full Score of Fear|a case 3 years later]] involving Akiba Reiko.

'''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a high school detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the younger sister of [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].

== Background ==
Masumi Sera is a Japanese-American high school detective and the younger sister of [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]]. Although she grew up in Japan during her elementary school years, she moved to America three years ago with her mother, presumably due to Akai infiltrating the [[Black Organization]]. She has recently returned to Japan for some unknown reason. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting#Teitan High School (帝丹高校)|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight in the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She seems to know that Conan is Shinichi and implies that she met Ran and Shinichi sometime in their past.

==Personality==
[[File:691-15.png|thumb|Sera beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]

Sera has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality<ref>Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, "Let's hear your brilliant deduction!"</ref> and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Sera fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is "[her] type".<ref name=pronouns>The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.</ref> Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Sera, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.

Sera is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Sera seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Sera is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.

Although she has crime scene experience<ref name=769p3>Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: "A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy"</ref>, Sera seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Sera purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.

Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is "case closed".

==Appearance==
[[Image:Sera_transfers.png‎|thumb|Sera transfers to Teitan High School]]

At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her bosoms are rather small. Sera also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.

Masumi and her brother Shuuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.

==Plot overview==
===Sera's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 73#Jeet Kune Do|768 - 770]], Anime: [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel|646 - 647)]]===
[[File:Sera_Kick.png|thumb|right|Sera defends herself from Ran.]]
Sera first met [[Sonoko]], [[Ran]], and [[Conan]] on a bus after she was mistaken for a [[Wikipedia:Chikan|groper]]. After Sonoko declared Sera was the groper, Sera and Ran got into a fight, with Sera's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Sera cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Sera for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Sera declaring that Ran was "his type".<ref name=pronouns/> Sera and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.

Sera finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Sera told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well.

[[Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Sera and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Sera announces that she has solved the case.

However, Sera's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Sera stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.

The following day, Sera transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.

===Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648 - 650]])===

====Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771)====
According to Sonoko, Sera has become very popular at Teitan high for being "cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!"<ref>Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, "Let's hear your brilliant deduction!"</ref> One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Sera tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but "rebelled" because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Sera is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind "Sleeping Kogoro".

[[File:Sera_slide_kick.png|thumb|left|Sera sweeps out the Hostage Taker's legs]]
Just as Sera is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Sera sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Sera leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.

Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Sera. Conan's response is that Sera is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.

The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Sera snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Sera is with Ran). Sera then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.

====Nickname Rules (772)====
Sera asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Sera steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Sera is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Sera meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.

====Possible Sniping (773)====
[[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|Sera surprised by Ran's attitude.]]
Sera explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Sera is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.

Sera launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Sera's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that "Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!"<ref>Volume 73, File 11, page 13, "Possible Sniping." Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Sera wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.</ref>

====The book with unturned pages (774)====
Sera and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Sera yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Sera realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Sera, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that "due to what just happened, she really gets it", that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran "is tougher than Sera thought". Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.

===Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]])===
[[File:Ai image.png|thumb|Sera deletes Haibara's image]]

Sera stops [[Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Sera mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Sera asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Sera cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, "And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing..." while looking up at where Subaru Okiya is hiding.

At the end of the case, Sera is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.
"Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...", were her words while she was doing it.

The case opens with Ran talking to Sera about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Sera is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Sera, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Sera proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Sera becomes curious about the foreigner, [[Andre Camel]] who secured the area. The police and Conan reveal Camel is an [[FBI]] agent and Sera takes interest. Meanwhile, Camel finds that Sera looks familiar, but can't quite place why. He takes a picture of her and mails it to [[Jodie]] and [[James Black]] who are waiting outside. Jodie and James Black think Sera resembles someone too, but only James Black correctly identified Sera as female.

Meanwhile Sera is busy helping with the case, asking questions and making comments about various deductions. Heiji nearly slips up with Conan's identity in front of her earning a pointed question from Sera, but Heiji rescues himself by saying he thinks of Conan as Kudo when Conan gets smug have hearing Shinichi's deductions over the phone. Sera doesn't seemed to be fooled though, her thoughts show that she seems to know Conan, not Shinichi, is the one solving the case while watching Conan come to his final conclusion.

During a murder case at Mouri Detective Agency, after meeting Kogoro's new apprentice [[Tooru Amuro]], [[Megure]] comments that the number of detectives around Kogoro has increased again, referring to Sera. Amuro takes interest in Sera. Later, Kogoro and friends go over to a suspect's apartment. Sera calls Ran after hearing about the murder on the news because she is worried about her and Conan. The call has an usual amount of static which alerts Amuro that there are listening devices present. Amuro abruptly hangs up Ran's phone on Sera. Meanwhile, Conan intentionally gets himself kidnapped by the primary suspect. After Ran enables calling again, Sera calls back immediately and is very upset because she was worried something had happened to Ran. Ran tells her that Conan has been kidnapped, and details to Sera the murder at Kogoro's agency. In order to figure out where the kidnapper is headed, Kogoro and Amuro search the apartment and decide to go to the address of one of the other suspects.

Sera arrives at suspect's home on [[Cars|her motorcycle]], but just misses Kogoro and the gang leaving. She hears the elevator descending and rushes back downstairs in time to follow Amuro's [[Cars|car]]. Meanwhile, the culprit has been driving around with Conan while Haibara has been directing Okiya's car towards them using the criminal tracking glasses. Okiya catches up to the kidnapper and relays what the car looks like to Kogoro. Amuro sees the suspect's car heading in the opposite direction so he quickly wheels around after it. Sera, who has been following Amuro's car this whole time, u-turns after Amuro and continues chasing. Amuro gets in front of the suspect's car and stops it. The suspect gets out of the car holding Conan at gunpoint, but Sera drives up onto the roof of the car.

Sera is walking with Sonoko and Ran, and Ran is talking by phone with Conan. Sera hears Haibara's voice in the background and becomes curious. She asks the two others what Haibara is like, and Sonoko says Haibara is like a woman in a child's body.

When Ran hangs up her cellphone, the topic switches over to Amuro. Sera says to Ran she wants to meet Amuro because she never got a really good look at him from the last case, but Sonoko thinks she wants to meet Conan. instead. Ran says Shinichi and Conan are big fans of Sherlock Holmes. Sera thinks about that she has known that for a long time.

Suddenly, Sera sees [[Scar Akai]] in the crowd ahead. She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Sera was chasing, but Sera replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.

Sera accompanies Conan, Ran, and Sonoko to the location of Kaitou Kid's next heist: a museum where the Blush Mermaid, a gem adhered to the shell of a turtle as a last ditch effort by a an Italian actress in an accident at sea to save her turtle by encouraging someone to rescue it. Before checking out the museum, Sera asks Ran if she saw a [[Scar Akai|strange man in black]] when she found the hat on the Belltree Express. After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, Inspector Nakamori pulls Sera's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Sera knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Sera then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Sera is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Sera quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Sera is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Sera was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Sera bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Sera escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Sera by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Sera is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.

I'd like an explanation!", Sera takes a picture with her smartphone. However, the recipient's answer, "If it's him, there's no problem." reveals that he is familiar with Conan.

=== Shogi Tournament ([[Volume 85|899]]) ===

== Plot Exposition ==
=== Hints that Sera was Shuichi Akai's sister ===
Sera was revealed to be Shuichi Akai's sister on the Bell Tree Express after a confrontation with [[Scar Akai]]<ref name=821p16>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 4 (821), pg 16: "Mystery Train (Junction)"</ref> and while sleeptalking.<ref name=823p4>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 6 (823), pg 4: "Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke)"</ref>
[[Image:Sera_and_Shuuichi.png|thumb|right|300px|Sera and [[Shuichi Akai]].]]
* Sera has bags under her eyes identical to Shuichi Akai's.
* Masumi Sera's name is also incredibly similar to Mobile Suit Gundam character [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Sayla_Mass Sayla Mass] (セイラ・マス, ''Seira Masu''). [[Shuichi Akai#Name origin|Akai's name is derived]] from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Aznable.
* Conan said he has a feeling he had met her before. "''Somehow I feel like we've met somewhere before, it might be that person resembles someone I know, that's why the feeling that we've met before is on my mind...''"<ref>Manga Chapter 771: Let's Hear Your Brilliant Deduction! p.11</ref>
* [[Andre Camel]] and most likely [[James Black]] seem to recognize her from somewhere. On another interesting note, James Black was the first to recognize that Sera was a girl. Everyone else thought that she was a guy when they first saw her. Since James was Akai's boss, he would most likely know that Akai has a younger sister and what she would look like.
* Sera lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Akai was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Akai's mission.
* In Chapter 801, Sera chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen "someone she knew".
* In Chapter 859, Sera, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: "But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?" This leads to Sera remarking "Yeah... That's what I heard." also further supporting the theory that Sera is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.

=== Hints that Sera was not Bourbon ===
* In Chapter 801, Sera chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen "someone she knew". She then thinks there is "no way it was possible" regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Akai was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Akai, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Akai again in the street.

==Relationships analysis==

===Friends & Family ===

==== Shuichi Akai ====
[[Shuichi Akai]] is Sera's older brother. Sera refers to Akai as "Shuu-nii", implying that they were close. Sera seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Sera is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same "feel" as Akai's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-kun-do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.<ref name="876p2">Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: "The romance novelist"</ref> She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.<ref name="859p6-7">Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: "Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate"</ref>

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP671-674_25.png|thumb|right|Sera hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]
Sera is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at one point questions her if they've met before, but she denies this and secretly thinks, "Now's not the time".

On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Volume 76#Online Client|Online Client Case]], Sera has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere "big sister" relationship. As to how Sera actually feels about Conan is yet to be revealed.<ref>Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - "When Objects Collide"; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - "Bourbon"</ref>

==== Ai Haibara ====
Sera has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] for yet unrevealed reasons and has been secretly gathering information on her. She also seemed to recognize [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels uneasy around Sera, especially in close contact situations though arguably it could also be due to Scar Akai's presence near Sera.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Sera hurried away]]
Since enrolling at Teitan High, Sera and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Ran seems to recall having met Sera before in the past, hearing the sound of "rippling waves" when the she sees the latter leaving, "as if some sort of magic were at work". Sera has also declared Ran as "her type" when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Sera for a boy.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
Since enrolling at Teitan High, Sera and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Sera as a popular girl who is "cheery, sociable, boyish and cute" and on top of that, a "Jeet Kune Do using detective", though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing "against Sera" is her flat chest.

==== Second-older brother ====
Sera appears to have a good relationship with her older brother and often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Akai as "strong" in contrast to her second older-brother.

=== Black Organization ===

==== Tooru Amuro ====
Amuro and Sera haven't formally met yet.

==Speculation==
[[Image:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|170px|Sera mentioning Conan's name.]]
=== Sera met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi===
Sera knew Conan and [[Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. Although she claimed to know Ran from Karate tournaments, she recognized Conan as a detective and anticipated his skill. Sera admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until "the time" comes.<ref name=846p16>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: "The Magic Lock"</ref> Since Conan didn't exist until Shinichi shrunk, Sera must have met Shinichi some time in the past, and she recognizes him as Conan. The meeting was probably a significant time ago because Sera, while blushing, asks Conan if he once met a girl "a long time ago and could never forget [her]"<ref name=876p11>Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: "The Romance Novelist"</ref> and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that. Conan realizes he met Sera before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,<ref name=845p16>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: "Our Territory"</ref> but she refuses to tell him where they met prior.<ref name=846p16/> Ran appears to have met Sera as well because Sera's figure as she runs away reminds her of "sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work."<ref name=846p4>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: "The Magic Lock"</ref>

In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him "Professor what's his name".

=== Identity of Sera's middle brother ===
{{main|Akai family's middle brother}}

=== The Wizard ===
In a PS, [[Akai family's middle brother|Masumi's middle brother]] asks if she "has already met the Wizard?"<ref name=861p15-16>Manga Volume 81, File 11 (861), pg 15-16: "Just like Magic"</ref> Masumi's thought reply is "You could say so..." Later, Masumi "thinks aloud" that her reason for returning to Japan is to meet the Wizard once more.<ref name=874p8>Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 8: "The red past"</ref> The identity of the Wizard is still unclear.
==== Kaitou Kid ====
Masumi met Kaito Kid briefly at the [[Volume 78|Blush Mermaid Heist]]. It wasn't a normal meeting since Kid knocked her out and Masumi later attacked him, perhaps prompting the response "You could say so..."

==== Shinichi Kudo ====
Tellingly, Masumi turns towards Conan when thinking of the answer "You could say so". [[Masumi_Sera#Sera_met_Shinichi_and_Ran_when_she_was_younger_and_knows_Conan_is_Shinichi|At this point Sera seems to know Conan is Shinichi.]] If Shinichi was nicknamed "The Wizard" by Masumi and/or her brother because of [[Masumi_Sera#Sera_met_Shinichi_and_Ran_when_she_was_younger_and_knows_Conan_is_Shinichi|what happened when he and Masumi met in the past]], then the response is appropriate since she could only sort of meet with Shinichi, because Shinichi shrunk into Conan. It's possible that the event where Shinichi earned the nickname "The Wizard" was Shinichi and Ran's meeting with Sera in the past. When trying to remember Masumi, Ran specifically mentions "sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work."<ref name=846p4>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: "The Magic Lock"</ref> A "magical" incident, if it was Shinichi's doing, might have earned him the nickname.

==== Someone else ====

[[File:Akai's picture 338.PNG|thumb|right|The picture of the Detective Boys the mystery assistants captured]]

===Sera learned about Haibara from Akai's picture===
Sera initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Sera doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Sera may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Akai took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Akai mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Akai's things to his family. If Sera was interested in finding out how and why Akai died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.

'''{{nihongo|Korn|コルン|Korun}}''' is a [[Black Organization]] sniper in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Korn is [[Chianti]]'s partner, and also a skilled assassin. He wears thick glasses and a hat.

== Personality ==
Even if he is less impatient than Chianti, Korn enjoys killing, and is disappointed when he does not get the opportunity to.<ref>[[Movie 13|Movie 13: The Raven Chaser]], where he regrets that he had not been the one firing at [[Irish]]</ref> Like most members of the organization, he has a cold personality. However, unlike the other members, he appears to be asocial, rarely interacting with other members unless spoken to. He is always seen frowning, and has no sense of humor. His speech is short and full of pauses, leading some fans to speculate that he may have some sort of speech impediment or is a foreigner with weak Japanese.

== Plot overview ==
===''Anime/Manga''===
==== [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]] ====
Korn appears for the first time at a shooting stand belonging to the Black Organization, training for the planned murder of Yasutero Domon. Later, he is present when Gin discusses the time and place of this murder with Kir. Even if he is supposed to participate in the two attempted assassinations (against Yasutero Domon and [[Kogoro Mouri]]), and is, each time, seen waiting for Gin's order to shoot, he never gets the opportunity to fire.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] is Korn's partner. They seem to get along well enough; Chianti confides to Korn that she would like to kill Vermouth because she led Calvados to his death.

Detective Conan in France

}}
The Detective Conan manga is published in France by Kana and the anime was first dubbed in 2004. It has been broadcasted on both [[Wikipedia:Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_3 France 3].

In the French version of Detective Conan, almost all of the characters have the same name. A notable exception would be [[Juzo Megure|Megure]], who is referred to as Maigret in the manga. Currently, the manga has reached [[Volume 65]] and the anime is licensed up to [[The Mysterious Retro Room Case|Episode 214]], but only 172 episodes have been broadcast.

==Anime==
Detective Conan made its French anime debut on Cartoon Network on January 4, 2004, where only the first season was dubbed. On January 3, 2005, the show stated to air to the general public on France 3's afternoon show, [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/France_Truc France Truc]. The show quickly became a hit among young people as well as teenagers, scoring over 40% of the audience. Following the positive critical acclaim from the public, AB Studio went on to dub three more seasons to add variety to the original 30 episodes. The success of the series, however, was short lived, as concerned parents complained of the show's frequently depicted violence and gore. The show was pulled out of France 3 the following year.

Following the fans' demand to see Detective Conan back on TV, Cartoon Network announced that it would bring back the show in August 2006, along with at least fifty new episodes where Ai Haibara would finally be introduced in the French anime.

Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara

2014-08-23T23:03:43Z

Catstorm:

{{Cleanup|date=September 2013|reason=Content needs to by copywritten. There are some grammatical errors, and more appropriate word choice is needed.}}

[[Conan]] and [[Haibara]] have an interesting relationship. Initially, Conan was suspicious of Haibara for being part of the Black Organization and the inventor of [[APTX 4869]], but he has since warmed up to her as a valuable teammate and someone to confide his thoughts with when they conflict with his child cover. On her part, Haibara expresses interest in Conan's personality, intelligence, and sense of justice. This has led to the theory that Haibara is in love with Conan.

In Episode 223, it is revealed that Conan knows Haibara's true name, [[Shiho Miyano]], but he never calls her that despite her calling him "Kudo-kun".

== Relationship analysis ==
[[Image:Conan_saves_Haibara.JPG‎|thumb|right|220|Conan rescues Haibara from the explosion.]]
It has been shown in various manga chapters and anime episodes that Haibara is hinted at having a crush on Conan. Whenever asked about it, however, she claims to be joking. Some fans think that she is trying to hide her pain on the fact that Conan loves [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. Conan always watches out for Haibara's safety and tries to protect and save Haibara on multiple occasions. He also worries about her mental condition whenever the Black Organization is involved. Both [[Yukiko Kudo]] and [[Jodie Starling]] have sensed that Haibara might have romantic feelings for Conan, which Conan dismisses whenever it is brought to his attention. When Haibara is around, she is usually the first to notice Conan's actions and knows what he is up to. Haibara is also the first to remind Conan to act more like a child in order to protect his identity.

== Moments ==

=== (Episode 129) [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case]] - [[Volume 18]] File 6 ~ [[Volume 19]] File 1 ===
* Upon Haibara's arrival at Teitan Elementary School, Genta eagerly offers the seat next to him for her to sit in. But as Haibara walks towards the desks, she brushes right past Genta and takes the empty seat next to Conan, and in a monotone voice says to him, "Nice to meet you." Surprised, Conan responds with, "Yeah..."

* After class is over, the Detective Boys try to catch up with Haibara in the hallway wanting to ask her to walk home with them. Haibara ignores all of Ayumi's attempts to talk to her until she inquires about her address, to which she replies, "22 Beika Block, Second Street." Conan regards the address as familiar and remarks to himself that her house can't be too far away from where his is. Haibara then looks over her shoulder and smirks at him, surprising Conan and causing a small blush to appear right above his nose. Genta notices and asks him if he "likes that stuck-up woman", which Conan is quick to deny.

* When Ayumi and Mitsuhiko are telling Haibara about the Detective Boys, she asks, "Edogawa-kun is in it too?". Shortly after, the Detective Boys come across a case, where a fellow classmate's older brother has been missing and wants to find him.
[[File:FirstTrueFace.png|thumb|left|240|That...was probably the first true face she ever showed me]]
* After solving said case, Ai fires a gun through a window, causing her to get a scolding from Inspector Megure. Haibara starts fake-crying (impressively well) to get out of it. Conan walks Haibara back home to her house, while she is still crying. When Conan drops her off nearby her home, Haibara immediately stops crying and then starts talking about a drug called "APTX 4869". Conan is confused, as Haibara continues to ramble about the drug and how he took it. It becomes apparent that Haibara isn't a normal little girl. It is not until Haibara tells Conan that she's occupied Professor Agasa's house and that he's "not in this world any more" that Conan begins to freak out. He tries to call Professor Agasa but doesn't get an answer while Haibara smirks evilly in the background. Conan then leaves Haibara behind and sprints to Professor Agasa's house, hoping to find him safe. After finding the Professor is safe, Agasa allows Haibara to explain herself to an angry Conan. She explains about her "role" in the organization and how she betrayed the organization and how she took the drug to escape from her prison.

* After exchanging information, Conan, Haibara, and Agasa plan to visit a university professor who could have accidentally been given a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization from Haibara's older sister. They visit his house only to find him dead in a locked room. After Conan solves the case, Agasa and Conan decide to head back home. When Conan gestures for Haibara to come along, a tear rolls down her face as she asks why he didn't help her sister. To answer a confused Conan's face, Haibara explains, still in tears, that Hirota Masami was a fake name that her sister took from the now-deceased university professor, and Conan realizes that Haibara's sister is the same girl who died during the One-Billion-Yen Robbery Case. Haibara continues to shout at a stunned Conan that, with all his deduction skills, he should have been able to see right through her sister's case. Haibara breaks down and falls on her knees in front of Conan and clutches his shirt and continues to cry into it. But Conan silently thinks to himself: "This is probably the first true face she's ever showed me."[[File:JustPerfect.png|thumb|right|240|I'm actually only 18 years old, just perfect for you.]]

=== (Episode 130-131) [[The Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case]] - [[Volume 19]] File 9 ~ [[Volume 20]] File 1 ===

Near the end of the second part of this case, Haibara stares off into the distance after Conan makes a joke about her being 84 years old. She tells him, "Ara, I'm actually only 18 years old, just perfect for you," before staring off into the distance again. Conan seems really surprised, even after Haibara adds that she was just kidding.

=== (Episode 136-137) [[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case]] - [[Volume 20]] File 10 ~ [[Volume 21]] File 3 ===
[[File:2Close.png|thumb|left|240|Ayumi: "What are you two doing!?"]]

While trying to figure out a chess code at a castle where the Detective Boys are staying, Haibara walks up to Conan, looks down at his paper, and asks if he is happy because that is his favorite thing. Conan blushes slightly when she looks up at his face and answers "I guess so..." Immediately after, they were interrupted by Ayumi yelling, "Hey! What are you two doing!?" which was really directed at Genta and Mitsuhiko.
[[File:Is it because_you like Conan-Kun.png|thumb|right|240|Is it because...you like Conan-kun?]]
Conan Edogawa later gets lost and when every one tries to look for him it starts raining. Haibara tells Ayumi to stop crying and that, "Edogawa-kun isn't the type to make you worry. He'll come back himself." She then comments on Ayumi's bag and about not letting her tears enter it. Ayumi replies, "Hey, how do you know Conan-kun so well..."
Haibara replies, "Come on. Why do you ask?"
"Is it because you like him, right?"
Haibara, surprised, recovers by asking, "What if I do?"
Ayumi replies, "Then...I'm in trouble," implying that there will be a love triangle if she does. Haibara sees Ayumi is worried and does not want to trouble her anymore, so Haibara plainly states she does not have those kinds of feelings for Conan.

=== (Episode 138-139) [[The Final Screening Murder Case]] - [[Volume 23]] File 1 ~ File 3 ===

At the start of the second Gomera movie, Ayumi falls asleep and puts her head on Conan's shoulder. When Conan turns to Haibara, saying he needs to use the restroom and asks her if she would switch seats, she has also put her head on Conan's shoulder, having fallen asleep as well.

=== (Episode 156) [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] - [[Volume 23]] File 10 ~ [[Volume 24]] File 2 ===
* The episode opens with Haibara and Conan in what looks to be an abandoned and empty room. Haibara tells him that she (possibly referring to Ran) has found out about his identity. When he asks her why she's telling him all this, she tells him that he can see into the hearts of the wicked, but he couldn't understand a woman's heart, then tells him that she's been in love with him since she met him. We see Conan's face, but it doesn't appear to be at all surprised, and Haibara continues with: "I guess you didn't even notice... Kamen Yaiba-san." After Mitsuhiko yells out "CUT!", it is revealed that both Conan and Haibara were merely acting, and practicing lines for Teitan Elementary School's play, with Mitsuhiko as the director.

=== (Episode 176-178) [[ Reunion with the Black Organization ]] - [[Volume 24]] File 7 ~ File 11 ===
[[Image: Haibara_Conan_episode_176.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan puts his glasses on Haibara.]]
* Conan and Haibara went to the Haido City Hotel to stop Pisco, a Black Organization member, before he kills someone as ordered by Gin, and also to possibly obtain a sample of APTX 4869 in order to develop an antidote. During the entire case, Haibara is seriously frightened of Gin because the night before she dreamed that he discovered her true identity and killed everyone she had contact with. She also confided to Conan that she dreamed that he was shot first, which may symbolize a great fear over any harm done to him.

* While they are in Professor Agasa's car following Gin and Vodka to the Haido City Hotel, Haibara seems to be pleased by Conan's decision to stop Pisco from murdering someone rather than just concentrating on Gin, Vodka, and the drug, and says, "Oh, what a strong sense of justice you have," with a proud smile. Because of his decision to do the right thing, she follows him into harm's way, knowing that she could be murdered immediately, and enters Haido City Hotel against her better judgement.

* After Haibara says, "Maybe if I had been killed by the organization back then, there would be less hassle for everyone," Conan cuts her off by giving up his glasses, the only thing preventing people from recognizing him, and putting them on her to make her feel safer. After they have an encouraging conversation about how this action bears similarity to Superman/Clark Kent's disguise, Haibara turns away bashfully and thanks him. He looks at her and says somewhat sarcastically, "You really aren't too adorable."<ref>Episode 176 (Kaze no ko)</ref>

* After Haibara shrinks back to child size, Conan puts his jacket on her naked body and carries her from the fire before Pisco and Gin can discover them.
[[File:GunsnRoses.gif|thumb|right|200px|Haibara fires a gun of roses at Conan to encourage him to avoid telling Ran his secret identity.]]

=== (Episode 190) [[The Desperate Revival#The Third Choice|The Desperate Revival ~The Third Choice~]] - [[Volume 26]] File 2 ===
While Conan is lying in a hospital bed after a blood transfusion, Haibara sneaks into his room and held a gun at him. She tells him that the Black Organization would spare Agasa's life if she killed Conan and everyone else related to him. She then pulls the trigger, but it turns out that it was a fake gun that shot red roses from the barrel. Symbolically, red roses represent love or passion, suggesting that Haibara might have romantic feelings towards Conan.

=== (Episode 192) [[The Desperate Revival#Shinichi's Return and the Promised Place|The Desperate Revival ~Shinichi's Return and the Promised Place~]] - [[Volume 26]] File 7 ===
When asked by Conan (who has reverted back to Shinichi thanks to a prototype antidote) why she would go so far to help him, Haibara suddenly shows a surprised expression. Haibara replies by explaining that if something happened to him, then she would be in trouble as well.

=== (Episode 230-231) [[The Mysterious Passenger]] - [[Volume 29]] File 3 ~ File 5 ===
[[File:Whyareyoudoingthis.png|thumb|left|240|Hey Haibara, why are you going this far for me?]]
On a bus, Haibara becomes petrified because she feels the familiar and scary presence of a member of the [[Black Organization]]. Haibara mistakes the aura as coming from Jodie when it is really from Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide, who is sitting next to Jodie. When Jodie asks Conan for her name, she grabs onto his hand desperately and, understanding her fear, Conan says that she is a random girl he happened to sit next to.

When the bus is evacuated and the bomb is about to go off, Haibara chooses to stay inside as a suicide attempt so that she wouldn't have to worry about her future, and so that she would no longer be a threat to all the people she was close to. Conan rushes back onto the bus, risking his life to save her. They jump out of the bus, but Conan gets injured in the process. He rubs some of his blood onto Haibara to give the police a reason to send her to the hospital, possibly as a way to keep an eye on her. As Haibara gets in the police car, he tells her not to run away from her destiny.

=== (Episode 233-234) [[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]] - [[Volume 29]] File 6 ~ File 8 ===

[[File:Icantseehowyourea90yearoldlady.png|thumb|right|240| Haibara blushes when Conan tells her to keep smiling]]
The hijacked bus incident in ''The Mysterious Passenger Case'' led Haibara to be especially worried about her situation. Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko attempt to cheer her up and, with the help of Arthur the dog, manage to make her smile. Conan comments that she should keep that expression, since it makes her look like a child, causing Haibara to blush. Conan then sneakily adds that with her face like that, he wouldn't think she's a 90-year old lady, to which Haibara counters, saying," How rude, I'm only 84 years old (referring Conan's initial estimate in ''The Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case'')".

While she is at the beach with the Detective Boys and Ran, Haibara is saddened to realize that Conan is interested in Ran. She remains in the water until Ran notices she got a sunstroke. Conan wonders why she did not stay with Professor Agasa, and she answers that she did not want to run away from the dolphins; she adds that, being the stars of the sea, they are totally different from the malicious sharks fleeing from the cold and dark bottom of the ocean, who cannot compete with them. However, Conan fails to understand this metaphor, which draws a parallel between Ran and Haibara.

The events of the case made Haibara feel bad about her betrayal. Conan fears that she might take a train to flee and start a new life. He rushes and yells her name in order to hold her back, before realizing she is actually behind him. Haibara asks why he shouted, declares he told her not to run away from fate, and adds "You're going to protect me, right?", before stating sarcastically that she is not as weak as he thinks she is.

=== (Episode 294-295) [[The Smash of Determination and Love]] ===

At the beginning of the episode, Conan notices that Haibara, who usually does not participate in their trips, is acting a bit odd by deciding to come along. Conan comments, "I wonder what could have provoked you to come this time". Haibara says that she's not really interested in the trip itself, but just wants a place to focus on her reading while adding, "Besides, you can't protect me if I'm not with you, right?".
After the case, Conan and Haibara have to run laps for missing the semi-finals. When Conan has three laps to go, Haibara catches up to him and says, "I'll run with you." However, right after that, Ayumi and the rest catch up with them and run the laps together.

Not really convinced, he answers that Haibara must be checking the development of her test subject for APTX 4869. Before leaving, Yukiko encourages Conan to take care of the other kids, and Conan agrees, looking particularly at Haibara.

Later that night, Conan and Haibara happen to lie awake next to each other in a bed shared with the rest of the Detective Boys. Still curious about his mother's earlier comment, Conan tells Haibara, who has her back turned towards him, that he wants to ask her something, leading her to turn her head with a visage filled with emotion. But when Conan eventually simply asks if he has something on his face, the same confused look appear on both their faces.

"Thanks," Conan replied.

=== (Episode 509) [[Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys]] - [[Volume 60]] File 3 ~ File 5 ===

Just then, Mitsuhiko notices that behind them, a case is about to come up, prompting Ayumi to cry out, "An affair (jiken) between Conan-kun and Ai-chan!?" upon seeing the two together. As a common reaction, Conan and Ai stare at Ayumi with bewildered and surprised faces.

"Ah, no...that was an accident," Conan tries to reason but Haibara wouldn't accept it, calling him a pervert instead. Conan says that he would have kept quiet if he were truly a pervert.

Mitsuhiko (apprehensive): "By the way Conan-kun... how was it?"
Genta (apprehensive): "You saw that, right?"
Conan: "Saw what?"
Mitsuhiko: "You know, "that"."
Genta: "Ayumi screamed really loud, right?"
Conan: "Yeah, I saw..."
Mitsuhiko (surprised): "So you really..." (at this point, both Ayumi and Haibara are red with embarrassment)
Genta (surprised): "did see that?!"
Conan: "Yeah, sure did. it's quite natural when going to the bath to be totally naked and exposed."
Haibara (angry and embarassed): "You little - !"
Conan (clueless): "But you saw that too... the old man's corpse."

At a later scene, when Conan uses his voice-changing bowtie to imitate Professor Agasa's voice, Haibara saves Conan from having to explain his actions to the rest of the Detective Boys. Haibara (still irritated) says, "Don't sweat it. I won't let them ''peek'' at things they shouldn't, unlike you". Conan assures her, "If it's about that, don't worry. I didn't see anything besides your butt", causing Haibara to blush. Conan's later comments prove to be the last straw for Haibara and she gets her revenge at the end of the episode

After the Bell-Tree Express incident, a visibly angry Haibara demands for the reason why she was kept out of the loop with regards to Conan's plans. Despite hearing Conan and Professor Agasa's explanations, Haibara continues to be annoyed, saying, "Anyway, if you do something like that behind my back again, I won't forgive you! I don't like feeling like I'm being played with.", to which Conan replies with a teasing smirk, "Ah, is that your way of saying 'Thank you'?". Haibara blushes, saying, "Are you stupid?" and walks off. Professor Agasa comments that Haibara is a ''tsundere'', prompting Conan to ask what's "''dere''" about her.

=== (Movie 6) [[The Phantom of Baker Street]] ===

Haibara saves Conan by pushing him away from a falling statue, sacrificing herself so that he can win the game that they are trapped in. Before she disappears, she encourages him: "Don't give up.

Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara

2014-08-23T23:01:26Z

Catstorm:

{{Cleanup|date=September 2013|reason=Content needs to by copywritten. There are some grammatical errors, and more appropriate word choice is needed.}}

[[Conan]] and [[Haibara]] have an interesting relationship. Initially, Conan was suspicious of Haibara for being part of the Black Organization and the inventor of [[APTX 4869]], but he has since warmed up to her as a valuable teammate and someone to confide his thoughts with when they conflict with his child cover. On her part, Haibara expresses interest in Conan's personality, intelligence, and sense of justice. This has led to the theory that Haibara is in love with Conan.

In Episode 223, it is revealed that Conan knows Haibara's true name, [[Shiho Miyano]], but he never calls her that despite her calling him "Kudo-kun".

== Relationship analysis ==
[[Image:Conan_saves_Haibara.JPG‎|thumb|right|220|Conan rescues Haibara from the explosion.]]
It has been shown in various manga chapters and anime episodes that Haibara is hinted at having a crush on Conan. Whenever asked about it, however, she claims to be joking. Some fans think that she is trying to hide her pain on the fact that Conan loves [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. Conan always watches out for Haibara's safety and tries to protect and save Haibara on multiple occasions. He also worries about her mental condition whenever the Black Organization is involved. Both [[Yukiko Kudo]] and [[Jodie Starling]] have sensed that Haibara might have romantic feelings for Conan, which Conan dismisses whenever it is brought to his attention. When Haibara is around, she is usually the first to notice Conan's actions and knows what he is up to. Haibara is also the first to remind Conan to act more like a child in order to protect his identity.

== Moments ==

=== (Episode 129) [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case]] - [[Volume 18]] File 6 ~ [[Volume 19]] File 1 ===
* Upon Haibara's arrival at Teitan Elementary School, Genta eagerly offers the seat next to him for her to sit in. But as Haibara walks towards the desks, she brushes right past Genta and takes the empty seat next to Conan, and in a monotone voice says to him, "Nice to meet you." Surprised, Conan responds with, "Yeah..."

* After class is over, the Detective Boys try to catch up with Haibara in the hallway wanting to ask her to walk home with them. Haibara ignores all of Ayumi's attempts to talk to her until she inquires about her address, to which she replies, "22 Beika Block, Second Street." Conan regards the address as familiar and remarks to himself that her house can't be too far away from where his is. Haibara then looks over her shoulder and smirks at him, surprising Conan and causing a small blush to appear right above his nose. Genta notices and asks him if he "likes that stuck-up woman", which Conan is quick to deny.

* When Ayumi and Mitsuhiko are telling Haibara about the Detective Boys, she asks, "Edogawa-kun is in it too?". Shortly after, the Detective Boys come across a case, where a fellow classmate's older brother has been missing and wants to find him.
[[File:FirstTrueFace.png|thumb|left|240|That...was probably the first true face she ever showed me]]
* After solving said case, Ai fires a gun through a window, causing her to get a scolding from Inspector Megure. Haibara starts fake-crying (impressively well) to get out of it. Conan walks Haibara back home to her house, while she is still crying. When Conan drops her off nearby her home, Haibara immediately stops crying and then starts talking about a drug called "APTX 4869". Conan is confused, as Haibara continues to ramble about the drug and how he took it. It becomes apparent that Haibara isn't a normal little girl. It is not until Haibara tells Conan that she's occupied Professor Agasa's house and that he's "not in this world any more" that Conan begins to freak out. He tries to call Professor Agasa but doesn't get an answer while Haibara smirks evilly in the background. Conan then leaves Haibara behind and sprints to Professor Agasa's house, hoping to find him safe. After finding the Professor is safe, Agasa allows Haibara to explain herself to an angry Conan. She explains about her "role" in the organization and how she betrayed the organization and how she took the drug to escape from her prison.

* After exchanging information, Conan, Haibara, and Agasa plan to visit a university professor who could have accidentally been given a floppy disk containing data on the Black Organization from Haibara's older sister. They visit his house only to find him dead in a locked room. After Conan solves the case, Agasa and Conan decide to head back home. When Conan gestures for Haibara to come along, a tear rolls down her face as she asks why he didn't help her sister. To answer a confused Conan's face, Haibara explains, still in tears, that Hirota Masami was a fake name that her sister took from the now-deceased university professor, and Conan realizes that the same girl who died during the One-Billion-Yen Robbery Case. Haibara continues to shout at a stunned Conan that, with all his deducing skills, he should have been able to see right through her sister's case. Haibara breaks down and falls on her knees in front of Conan and clutches his shirt and continues to cry into it. But Conan silently thinks to himself: "This is probably the first true face she's ever showed me."[[File:JustPerfect.png|thumb|right|240|I'm actually only 18 years old, just perfect for you.]]

=== (Episode 130-131) [[The Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case]] - [[Volume 19]] File 9 ~ [[Volume 20]] File 1 ===

Near the end of the second part of this case, Haibara stares off into the distance after Conan makes a joke about her being 84 years old. She tells him, "Ara, I'm actually only 18 years old, just perfect for you," before staring off into the distance again. Conan seems really surprised, even after Haibara adds that she was just kidding.

=== (Episode 136-137) [[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case]] - [[Volume 20]] File 10 ~ [[Volume 21]] File 3 ===
[[File:2Close.png|thumb|left|240|Ayumi: "What are you two doing!?"]]

While trying to figure out a chess code at a castle where the Detective Boys are staying, Haibara walks up to Conan, looks down at his paper, and asks if he is happy because that is his favorite thing. Conan blushes slightly when she looks up at his face and answers "I guess so..." Immediately after, they were interrupted by Ayumi yelling, "Hey! What are you two doing!?" which was really directed at Genta and Mitsuhiko.
[[File:Is it because_you like Conan-Kun.png|thumb|right|240|Is it because...you like Conan-kun?]]
Conan Edogawa later gets lost and when every one tries to look for him it starts raining. Haibara tells Ayumi to stop crying and that, "Edogawa-kun isn't the type to make you worry. He'll come back himself." She then comments on Ayumi's bag and about not letting her tears enter it. Ayumi replies, "Hey, how do you know Conan-kun so well..."
Haibara replies, "Come on. Why do you ask?"
"Is it because you like him, right?"
Haibara, surprised, recovers by asking, "What if I do?"
Ayumi replies, "Then...I'm in trouble," implying that there will be a love triangle if she does. Haibara sees Ayumi is worried and does not want to trouble her anymore, so Haibara plainly states she does not have those kinds of feelings for Conan.

=== (Episode 138-139) [[The Final Screening Murder Case]] - [[Volume 23]] File 1 ~ File 3 ===

At the start of the second Gomera movie, Ayumi falls asleep and puts her head on Conan's shoulder. When Conan turns to Haibara, saying he needs to use the restroom and asks her if she would switch seats, she has also put her head on Conan's shoulder, having fallen asleep as well.

=== (Episode 156) [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] - [[Volume 23]] File 10 ~ [[Volume 24]] File 2 ===
* The episode opens with Haibara and Conan in what looks to be an abandoned and empty room. Haibara tells him that she (possibly referring to Ran) has found out about his identity. When he asks her why she's telling him all this, she tells him that he can see into the hearts of the wicked, but he couldn't understand a woman's heart, then tells him that she's been in love with him since she met him. We see Conan's face, but it doesn't appear to be at all surprised, and Haibara continues with: "I guess you didn't even notice... Kamen Yaiba-san." After Mitsuhiko yells out "CUT!", it is revealed that both Conan and Haibara were merely acting, and practicing lines for Teitan Elementary School's play, with Mitsuhiko as the director.

=== (Episode 176-178) [[ Reunion with the Black Organization ]] - [[Volume 24]] File 7 ~ File 11 ===
[[Image: Haibara_Conan_episode_176.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Conan puts his glasses on Haibara.]]
* Conan and Haibara went to the Haido City Hotel to stop Pisco, a Black Organization member, before he kills someone as ordered by Gin, and also to possibly obtain a sample of APTX 4869 in order to develop an antidote. During the entire case, Haibara is seriously frightened of Gin because the night before she dreamed that he discovered her true identity and killed everyone she had contact with. She also confided to Conan that she dreamed that he was shot first, which may symbolize a great fear over any harm done to him.

* While they are in Professor Agasa's car following Gin and Vodka to the Haido City Hotel, Haibara seems to be pleased by Conan's decision to stop Pisco from murdering someone rather than just concentrating on Gin, Vodka, and the drug, and says, "Oh, what a strong sense of justice you have," with a proud smile. Because of his decision to do the right thing, she follows him into harm's way, knowing that she could be murdered immediately, and enters Haido City Hotel against her better judgement.

* After Haibara says, "Maybe if I had been killed by the organization back then, there would be less hassle for everyone," Conan cuts her off by giving up his glasses, the only thing preventing people from recognizing him, and putting them on her to make her feel safer. After they have an encouraging conversation about how this action bears similarity to Superman/Clark Kent's disguise, Haibara turns away bashfully and thanks him. He looks at her and says somewhat sarcastically, "You really aren't too adorable."<ref>Episode 176 (Kaze no ko)</ref>

* After Haibara shrinks back to child size, Conan puts his jacket on her naked body and carries her from the fire before Pisco and Gin can discover them.
[[File:GunsnRoses.gif|thumb|right|200px|Haibara fires a gun of roses at Conan to encourage him to avoid telling Ran his secret identity.]]

While Conan is lying in a hospital bed after a blood transfusion, Haibara sneaks into his room and held a gun at him. She tells him that the Black Organization would spare Agasa's life if she killed Conan and everyone else related to him. She then pulls the trigger, but it turns out that it was a fake gun that shot red roses from the barrel. Symbolically, red roses represent love or passion, suggesting that Haibara might have romantic feelings towards Conan.

=== (Episode 192) [[The Desperate Revival#Shinichi's Return and the Promised Place|The Desperate Revival ~Shinichi's Return and the Promised Place~]] - [[Volume 26]] File 7 ===
When asked by Conan (who has reverted back to Shinichi thanks to a prototype antidote) why she would go so far to help him, Haibara suddenly shows a surprised expression. Haibara replies by explaining that if something happened to him, then she would be in trouble as well.

=== (Episode 230-231) [[The Mysterious Passenger]] - [[Volume 29]] File 3 ~ File 5 ===
[[File:Whyareyoudoingthis.png|thumb|left|240|Hey Haibara, why are you going this far for me?]]
On a bus, Haibara becomes petrified because she feels the familiar and scary presence of a member of the [[Black Organization]]. Haibara mistakes the aura as coming from Jodie when it is really from Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide, who is sitting next to Jodie. When Jodie asks Conan for her name, she grabs onto his hand desperately and, understanding her fear, Conan says that she is a random girl he happened to sit next to.

When the bus is evacuated and the bomb is about to go off, Haibara chooses to stay inside as a suicide attempt so that she wouldn't have to worry about her future, and so that she would no longer be a threat to all the people she was close to. Conan rushes back onto the bus, risking his life to save her. They jump out of the bus, but Conan gets injured in the process. He rubs some of his blood onto Haibara to give the police a reason to send her to the hospital, possibly as a way to keep an eye on her. As Haibara gets in the police car, he tells her not to run away from her destiny.

=== (Episode 233-234) [[The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]] - [[Volume 29]] File 6 ~ File 8 ===

[[File:Icantseehowyourea90yearoldlady.png|thumb|right|240| Haibara blushes when Conan tells her to keep smiling]]
The hijacked bus incident in ''The Mysterious Passenger Case'' led Haibara to be especially worried about her situation. Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko attempt to cheer her up and, with the help of Arthur the dog, manage to make her smile. Conan comments that she should keep that expression, since it makes her look like a child, causing Haibara to blush. Conan then sneakily adds that with her face like that, he wouldn't think she's a 90-year old lady, to which Haibara counters, saying," How rude, I'm only 84 years old (referring Conan's initial estimate in ''The Stadium Indiscriminate Threatening Case'')".

=== (Episode 246-247) [[The Mystery in the Net]] - [[Volume 31]] File 5 ~ File 7 ===

While she is at the beach with the Detective Boys and Ran, Haibara is saddened to realize that Conan is interested in Ran. She remains in the water until Ran notices she got a sunstroke. Conan wonders why she did not stay with Professor Agasa, and she answers that she did not want to run away from the dolphins; she adds that, being the stars of the sea, they are totally different from the malicious sharks fleeing from the cold and dark bottom of the ocean, who cannot compete with them. However, Conan fails to understand this metaphor, which draws a parallel between Ran and Haibara.

The events of the case made Haibara feel bad about her betrayal. Conan fears that she might take a train to flee and start a new life. He rushes and yells her name in order to hold her back, before realizing she is actually behind him. Haibara asks why he shouted, declares he told her not to run away from fate, and adds "You're going to protect me, right?", before stating sarcastically that she is not as weak as he thinks she is.

=== (Episode 294-295) [[The Smash of Determination and Love]] ===

At the beginning of the episode, Conan notices that Haibara, who usually does not participate in their trips, is acting a bit odd by deciding to come along. Conan comments, "I wonder what could have provoked you to come this time". Haibara says that she's not really interested in the trip itself, but just wants a place to focus on her reading while adding, "Besides, you can't protect me if I'm not with you, right?".
After the case, Conan and Haibara have to run laps for missing the semi-finals. When Conan has three laps to go, Haibara catches up to him and says, "I'll run with you." However, right after that, Ayumi and the rest catch up with them and run the laps together.

"Thanks," Conan replied.

Having burst into the women's onsen after hearing Ayumi and Haibara's screams, Conan discovers a dead body. Genta and Mitsuhiko proceed to interrogate Conan, resulting in the following comical misunderstanding:
Mitsuhiko (apprehensive): "By the way Conan-kun... how was it?"
Genta (apprehensive): "You saw that, right?"
Conan: "Saw what?"
Mitsuhiko: "You know, "that"."
Genta: "Ayumi screamed really loud, right?"
Conan: "Yeah, I saw..."
Mitsuhiko (surprised): "So you really..." (at this point, both Ayumi and Haibara are red with embarrassment)
Genta (surprised): "did see that?!"
Conan: "Yeah, sure did. it's quite natural when going to the bath to be totally naked and exposed."
Haibara (angry and embarassed): "You little - !"
Conan (clueless): "But you saw that too... the old man's corpse."

At a later scene, when Conan uses his voice-changing bowtie to imitate Professor Agasa's voice, Haibara saves Conan from having to explain his actions to the rest of the Detective Boys. Haibara (still irritated) says, "Don't sweat it. I won't let them ''peek'' at things they shouldn't, unlike you". Conan assures her, "If it's about that, don't worry. I didn't see anything besides your butt", causing Haibara to blush. Conan's later comments prove to be the last straw for Haibara and she gets her revenge at the end of the episode

After the Bell-Tree Express incident, a visibly angry Haibara demands for the reason why she was kept out of the loop with regards to Conan's plans. Despite hearing Conan and Professor Agasa's explanations, Haibara continues to be annoyed, saying, "Anyway, if you do something like that behind my back again, I won't forgive you! I don't like feeling like I'm being played with.", to which Conan replies with a teasing smirk, "Ah, is that your way of saying 'Thank you'?". Haibara blushes, saying, "Are you stupid?" and walks off. Professor Agasa comments that Haibara is a ''tsundere'', prompting Conan to ask what's "''dere''" about her.

In the climax of the movie, when the Detective Boys fly through the air to the next building in the car and Haibara is holding on to Mitsuhiko's hand to avoid falling to her death, Conan realizes she will get killed by the glass roof, so he kicks a biker helmet to break it in order to save her.

=== (Movie 6) [[The Phantom of Baker Street]] ===

Haibara saves Conan by pushing him away from a falling statue, sacrificing herself so that he can win the game that they are trapped in. Before she disappears, she encourages him: "Don't give up. Even without the helping characters, you are Holmes to us. There is that much ability within you. You're going to have to be our Holmes. There are no cases that Holmes can't solve, right?"

=== (Movie 11) [[Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure]] ===

During the case, Haibara finds a footprint around the back of the shop. Conan then asks her to take a picture of it for him. She replies "Since when did I become your assistant?" he then said "Not assistant, partner." Haibara then comments about Conan being a smooth talker.

=== (Movie 12) [[Full Score of Fear]] ===

He comments that Haibara isn't being honest, to which Haibara gives him a pensive sideways glance.

=== (OVA 12) [[The Miracle of Excalibur]] ===

[[File:HaibarateasesConan.png|thumb|left|240|Haibara teases Conan]]
Haibara remarks that people in love often disguise it by being mean to the object of their affections. She then proceeds to emotionally torture Conan throughout the episode. She is also quick to notice a love triangle which Conan is oblivious of. Conan saved Haibara from a baseball that was going to hit her. Haibara was silent after Conan said "Why are you daydreaming? Jeez, it's because you're acting differently..."

=== Situation ===

The teacher of the Detective Boys decides to give the class a mental test. Conan is called by the teacher so the class must solve it without him. They solve it with the help of two silent out-casted students. It turns out it was a plan to include the new students so they feel more involved.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Numbers were assigned to members of the class: Mitsuhiko got the 1, Ayumi the 2, Conan the 3, Maria Higashio the 4, Genta the 5, Takuma Sakamoto the 6. Genta's number was the only one to be red. The students then found a paper with dice numbers, in the order 3-1-6-2-4-5, the 1 being the only red. Actually, the students' names were supposed to be aligned as in a shiritori game (where the last syllable of a word is the syllable that starts the following word). Genta's number was red; as a result, he was the first in the game. The game led the names to be aligned in this order: Genta (1) - Takuma (2) - Maria (3) - Ayumi (4) - Mitsuhiko (5) - Conan (6). Those last numbers order were assosciated with the dice numbers and the assigned numbers.
* 3 - Maria - 4
* '''1''' - Genta - '''5'''
* 6 - Conan - 3
* 2 - Takuma - 6
* 4 - Ayumi - 2
* 5 - Mitsuhiko - 1
The students then counted the syllables in their names, and picked the one corresponding to the assigned numbers, before aligning them in the previous order. The solution of the code was "Ongakushitsu" (music room).
* Higashio Maria - 4 - O
* Kojima Genta - '''5''' - N
* Edogawa Conan - 3 - Ga
* Sakamoto Takuma - Ku
* Yoshida Ayumi - Shi
* Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko - Tsu
</spoiler>

===Trivia===
* Conan gets wrong about stroke order of the kanji for "woman".
* In this episode, Conan doesn't explain the code resolution, but only the "culprit"'s motive.

The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]]</ref> Her partner is [[Korn]], and the two are often seen together on missions, just as [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] are usually seen together. It is implied that she had some sort of relationship with the deceased member, [[Calvados]], whose death she blames [[Vermouth]] for.

Even if she is supposed to participate in the two attempted murders of the mission (against Yasutero Domon, then against [[Kogoro Mouri]]), and is, each time, seen waiting for Gin's order to shoot, she never gets the opportunity to fire until [[Shuichi Akai]] appears, which leads her to complain about having to move for nothing.

'''{{nihongo|Misao Yamamura|山村ミサオ|Yamamura Misao}}''', also known as '''Detective Magnum''' in the English dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Misao is a detective and police officer from the Gunma district who covers multiple divisions, including robbery cases, escorting criminals, traffic observation, and homicide cases. Later on in the series, Yamamura is finally promoted to an Inspector role, much to the chagrin of Conan and especially Kogoro.

== Background ==
Yamaura was born and grew up in the Gunma Prefecture. He became a police detective because he was a fan of [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s television show in which she played a police woman, ''Dangerous Policewoman Story''.<ref name=Misao>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> Yamamura, before being promoted to Inspector, was considered a rookie detective. <ref name=Misao>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref> In his first case, he mentioned that the only reason why he was put on the case was because everyone else in his precinct had a cold.<ref name=Misao /> His reputation grows after Conan knocks him out to solve a case, which gives him more assignments. Yamamura has a grandmother, named [[Misae Yamamura]],<ref name=Tobacco /> who sometimes gets indirectly involved in Yamamura's cases.<ref name=Witch />

[[Image:Inspector Yamamura's Badge.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Inspector Yamamura shows off his badge to Kogoro, Conan, and Ran.]]
The reaction of most characters when they see Yamamura is complete bewilderment; Kogoro even notes that he cannot believe that this is the only detective from the Gunma prefecture that can help him out during a murder case.<ref name=Curry /> Misao also does other work in the department, including robbery cases, as well as covering traffic observations.<ref name=Contact>[[Contact with the Black Organization|Episode 309-311: Contact with the Black Organization]]</ref> He also has escorted criminals to different places.<ref name=Mitsuhiko>[[Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision|Episode 289-290: Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision]]</ref>

In time, Yamamura was finally named [[Police Organization|an inspector]], which he proudly showed off to Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. However, this annoyed Kogoro, who still called Yamamura "Yamamura-kei'''ji'''" (''Officer'' Yamamura) instead of "Yamamura-"kei'''bu'''" (''Inspector'' Yamamura); Conan expressed worry about the future of Gunma police with Yamamura in charge of other detectives, while Ran appeared to be the only one in support of Yamamura's new promotion.<ref name=Witch>[[A Witch Yelling in the Fog|Episode 545-546: A Witch Yelling in the Fog]]</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[Image:Misao_scared.jpg|thumb|right|225px|Misao is terrified.]]For being a detective, Yamamura makes many unnecessary mistakes, including not noticing completely obvious clues, and even feels fear at the sight of blood or a dead body. He is also incredibly naive and superstitious, fully believing that a "curse" was left by ghosts in a case, to the point of being scared.<ref name=Window /> He even messes up in trying to escort a criminal to a forest, deserting his own post because he wanted to buy himself some lunch.<ref name=Mitsuhiko /> He also does not act in good conduct, publicly fawning over Yukiko Kudo when he found out who she was.<ref name=Misao /> Misao also once got heavily distracted by a portable television that he brought during a case because he had wanted to watch a romantic drama that was airing at the time of an investigation.<ref name=Sonoko>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 466-467: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> And when it comes to Gunma, Misao doesn't even fully know the whole area, and has to be corrected by locals on certain things.<ref name=Snowman>[[Snowman That Cannot Be Smashed|Episode 457-458: Snowman That Cannot Be Smashed]]</ref>

However, even though he is a little clueless, Yamamura still knows the basics of his work and what to do in a crisis. For instance, he often writes in his notebook every piece of information he has been given about the case - even if that does not prevent him from forgetting what he has written,<ref>[[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|Episode 481-482: Mountain Witch's Cutlery]] where he forgets a name before realizing he had noted it in his notebook.</ref>. He is also very supportive, and always wants to lend a helping hand in solving a case. He is not completely lost during murder cases, figuring it out when Conan has to resort to giving out hand signs to him due to losing his voice from a cold.<ref name=Curry>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref> Also, Misao is very handy in helping catch a criminal, having been used by Conan to help confront a criminal that was trying to proclaim their innocence.<ref name=Suspect /> He also helped catch another criminal, mostly through instructions Conan, pretending to be Kogoro, left for him on his cell phone as a text message.<ref name=Window>[[The Sealed Western-Style Window|Episode 446-447: The Sealed Western-Style Window]]</ref> He even tried giving Kogoro credit for the case, showing that unlike Kogoro, he can be modest.<ref name=Window /> However, Conan indicated in the text message that "Kogoro" wanted Misao to take all of the credit.<ref name=Window />

[[Image:Misao and Conan.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Conan whispers to Misao an observation at a murder case.]]

[[Image:Misao's Cell.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Yamamura's cell phone.]]
Whenever Yamamura is involved in catching a criminal, he tends to become very excited. He noted that it felt like a "movie" when he had to shoot one of the runaway robbers in a bank robbery case.<ref name=Contact /> He is extremely excited to be involved in helping [[Eri Kisaki]] and Conan catch the real killer in another case to the point of acting like a little kid after the killer was arrested, talking about how he acted and looked when confronting the killer.<ref name=Suspect /> His child-like reactions also manifest on the opposite end of the spectrum. One time when Yamamura decides that he is a bad police officer after making two big blunders during one case, it became up to Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys do their best to cheer him up so that he could feel better and lend them a hand in finding [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]].<ref name=Mitsuhiko /> Still, he is quite conscious of the importance of his role in society and his profession, making him in morale - if not in skill - a true police officer.<ref name=Mitsuhiko />

In front of the events of the case, Misao first declares that the culprit is a member of the house - a correct conclusion - and wishes to proceed to a thorough investigation; however, realizing that none of the suspects could have committed the crime, he later concludes that the culprit is an outsider having used a trick. Misao is also surprised to encounter Agasa so frequently at crime scenes, and advices Conan to be exorcised of his habit of attracting crimes.

=== Movies ===

==== [[Movie 13|Movie 13: The Raven Chaser]] ====
One of the murders of the case having happened on the Gunma border, Misao is called onto the investigation. He behaves as he always does, is immediately despised by [[Kansuke Yamato]], and is even disrespectful towards [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]]. Misao is one of the few inspectors (with Sango) to follow Kogoro's whimsical theory about the murder, and he is eventually the only one to come with him when he leaves the headquarters on his own, saying he is going to catch the culprit. He still plays a role in the movie, by hearing Vermouth dialing her Boss' phone number; the tune unconsciously makes him whistle the Nanatsu No Ko song, leading Conan to suspect that a member of the Organization infiltrated the meeting.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
====Kogoro Mouri====
Misao met [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] from the [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|case]]. He is a very big fan of him, to the point of fawning over him, acting as if he was Mouri's biggest fan, and often being the only one to approve and follow his more bizarre deductions. He considers that they are partners and that, when on a case together, they have a 100% chance to catch the criminal; however, Kogoro does not approve of the "partner" appellation.<ref name=Eisuke1st /> Misao is very disappointed when he cannot film Kogoro during his "sleeping" form, musing that he wanted to show the other detectives at the Gunma Police Department.<ref name=Imposter>[[Kogoro Mouri's Imposter|Episode 243-244: Kogoro Mouri's Imposter]]</ref> However, when he finally does get to film Kogoro's sleeping deduction, he leaves the camera on pause during the whole deduction, showing off his carelessness.<ref name=Eisuke1st>[[The Two Who Can't Return Anymore|Episode 429-430: The Two Who Can't Return Anymore]]</ref> He even cries heavily when he thinks that Kogoro has killed himself, not knowing that it was merely an imposter that looked like him.<ref name=Imposter /> However, this does not mean that Kogoro doesn't fall victim to Misao's bad deductions; the first time that Misao meets him, he announces that Kogoro is the killer without barely any evidence at all.<ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> Although Kogoro does not like his detective skills, he considers Yamamura a friend on a purely personal level, especially when both detectives drink together.<ref name=Imposter />

====Misae Yamamura====
[[File:Misao_and_Misae_Yamamura.png|thumb|right|Misao and his grandmother]]

[[Misae Yamamura]] is Misao Yamamura's grandmother. She lives in the Tottori prefecture, and he often talks about calling or visiting her. They seem to have the same interests: she recommended a romantic drama to Misao which later captivated him.<ref>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 466-467: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief</ref>

====Goro Otaki====

'''{{nihongo|Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|円谷光彦|''Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko''}}''', also known as '''Mitch Tennison''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Mitsuhiko Clear Background.jpg|thumb|left|125px|Mitsuhiko]]

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya is a student in [[Teitan Elementary]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins his class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Shortly afterwards, his classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] have the idea of investigating an apparently haunted mansion, and they persuade Conan to come along. When Mitsuhiko expresses his skepticism about supernatural hauntings, Genta forcefully 'persuades' him to tag along as well. As it turns out, the ghost story is a cover-up for an old homicide case.

Soon after, the accidental acquisition of a treasure map leads Ayumi, Genta, Mistuhiko and Conan on a hunt for a cache of stolen Italian gold coins, during which Conan saves them from getting killed by the mafia members who are also after the gold. After the case is resolved, Mitsuhiko joins Genta and Ayumi in forming the nucleus of an amateur detective group, the [[Detective Boys]].<ref>Manga Chapter 39: Code Sheet Case: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref>

Mitsuhiko's parents are both teachers, and he has an older sister, {{nihongo|[[Asami Tsuburaya]]|円谷朝美|Tsuburaya Asami}}, about ten years his senior.<ref>[[Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision|Episode 289: Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision]]</ref>
{{clearleft}}

==Personality==
[[File:Mitsuhiko - Impressed Ayumi.jpg|thumb|left|140px|Mitsuhiko happy to have impressed Ayumi]]
Mitsuhiko enjoys reading science books and takes a scientific approach to problem-solving. He is a smart and well-read first-grader who believes that technology can solve most problems. Due to his strict and formal upbringing by his parents, he tends to be very formal towards his elders, addressing them (in Japanese) with the formal suffix "-san" without regard to the intimacy of their relationship.<ref name=358p8>Volume 35, File 8, pg 8: "Mitsuhiko's Disappearance 1"</ref>

It has been shown at numerous times that Mitsuhiko really likes to be prepared for any occasion. He enjoys studying scientific, historic and general subjects for his own interest and fun. This eventually allows him to provide useful insights whenever necessary. He's been (or felt) rewarded a few times for his knowledge. In one instance, Ayumi said [[File:Mitsuhiko_daydreams_about_Haibara_Ai.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Mitsuhiko daydreams about marrying Ai]]how impressed she was after Mitsuhiko provided some precise historical facts behind the Ohashi House in Kurashiki, and he thought to himself with a big happy smile on his face: "I'm so glad I studied!".<ref name="ep377">[[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|Episode 377-378: Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]]</ref>

[[File:Mitsuhiko explains a riddle.png|thumb|left|150px|Mitsuhiko explaining a riddle.]]
One of his other qualities is that he tends to be proactive in many situations and thinks ahead to possible outcomes. For example, while the [[Detective Boys]] were trying to solve riddles they found in a Momotaro container in a small river in Kurashiki, a murder occurred which eventually led to the different codes to get burned. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], knowing that resolving those codes would lead to concrete proof as to who the murderer might be, was quite pleased when Mitsuhiko proudly announced that he took notes in his Detective Boys notebook "thinking that something like that could happen".<ref name="ep377" /> He has often been shown as shrewder and more quick-witted than Genta and Ayumi, sometimes leading the investigation when Conan and Haibara aren't present. With time and experience, he will probably become about as intelligent as [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Heiji Hattori]].

Despite the preciousness of his intelligence, Mitsuhiko remains an elementary school child, and enjoys activities of his age, such as making a snowman or treasure hunting. As a consequence, he is best friends with Genta and Ayumi.

Mitsuhiko has a dislike for carrots, and will always eat them last (if ever) if he can help it.

==Plot overview==
===[[The Desperate Revival|Episode 188-189: The Great Revival]]===
After the Detective Boys have been trapped in a cavern, and after Conan has fainted, Mitsuhiko, hinted by Conan's last words and Ayumi's opinion, is the one to find the solution of the riddle leading to the exit of the cavern.

===[[Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys|Episode 212-213: Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys]]===
* Searching for Genta, Mitsuhiko and Haibara find the body of a dead hunter, and start being tracked by his murderer, who fears they might have seen him. When Haibara sprains her ankle, he makes her a bandage, using a method that Conan had taught him; he then carries her to a safer place. With Haibara's help, he leaves a code to signal his position to the other Detective Boys.
* This is the case where Mitsuhiko develops romantic feelings for Haibara.

===[[Class 1-B's Great Operation!|Episode 460: Class 1-B's Great Operation]]===

===[[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|Episode 289-290: Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]===
The Detective Boys realize that Mitsuhiko has been missing from his home for specific periods of time, and follow his trail to a forest in Gunma. Mitsuhiko, having heard Haibara and Ayumi expressing their admiration for the beauty of fireflies, wanted to please them by bringing them some. However, having caught a firefly, he realizes that he can't answer Conan's call on his badge without releasing it. He is eventually caught by the escaped serial killer [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] who was also hiding in the forest. Since Numabuchi loves fireflies too, he does not hurt Mitsuhiko, and even carries him back to his friends. This case is a good example of Mitsuhiko's dedication for Ayumi and Haibara.

===[[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|Episode 481-482: The Mountain Witch's Cutlery]]===
During the night, Mitsuhiko catches sight of the owner of the house sharpening a cleaver with a fiendish face; a vision which leaves him terrified. It later becomes an essential element of incrimination against the owner during the police investigation.

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Detective Boys ===

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
As the cheerful and innocent girl she is, [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] has attracted the romantic interests of her teammates Mitsuhiko and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], but she is blissfully unaware of that. Her crush on Conan and tendency to innocently flirt with him leads to feelings of annoyance or disappointment on Mitsuhiko's part. According to [[Movie 5]], Mitsuhiko seems to have liked Ayumi since kindergarten, and according to [[Magic File 2: Shinichi Kudo, The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab|Magic File 2]], they have been friends since at least preschool.

[[Image:279haibaramitsuhiko.png|thumb|right|220|Haibara listening in on Mitsuhiko's radio.]]
==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
After [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] joins the Detective Boys, Mitsuhiko develops a crush on her due to her intelligence and competence. To date, Ai hasn't shown any romantic feelings for him and uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also admires his intelligence and courage during missions. In some episodes, she even shows more confidence in Mitsuhiko than in Ayumi or Genta when the going gets tough.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
Mitsuhiko's relationship with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is a bit of a two-faced matter. While he generally admires Conan for his intelligence, courage and expertise, he tends to become very jealous of him whenever Ayumi has set her romantic intentions on Conan. He also suffers from being less shrewd and dexterous than him in front of Haibara.<ref>[[Volume 28|Manga Volume 28, Case 274: The Shrunken Target]], page 11</ref>

==== Genta Kojima ====
Mitsuhiko and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] are generally on very good terms with each other, and are mutually jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi decides to give him romantic attention. However, the two do not feel rivalry with each other, likely because Ayumi sees them both as friends.<ref>Anime episode 418: ''[[Home of Beika's Grenier]]''</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Jugo Yokomizo|横溝重悟|Yokomizo Juugo}}''', often referred to as the same name as his twin brother, '''Inspector Yokomizo''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Jugo is the younger brother of [[Sango Yokomizo]], who is also an inspector from Kanagawa police district. Both started their police career in Saitama, but some time later, Sango transferred to the Shizuoka district. However, they do stay in touch and have even assisted each other in various (and even locally unrelated) cases.

As children, Sango and Jugo would often play with other kids near the beach. Both brothers were actually afraid of swimming in the ocean, but while Jugo would go near the water, Sango was so scared that he would never even leave the boat.<ref name=Ikkaku>[[Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish|Episode 542: Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish, Part 1]]</ref> Thus, Sango, even as an adult, does not know how to swim.<ref name=Net>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref>

== Personality ==
Unlike his brother Sango, Jugo is serious, stern, less easygoing, and more impatient. Jugo is considered an adept inspector, but because of his habitual sinister stare, he appears even more intimidating than his brother. As a result, he is not very popular with any people outside the force, especially if they are able to compare him with his brother.

In addition, Jugo is, unlike his brother, very critical of [[Kogoro Mouri]], whom he nicknames {{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|''Kemuri no Kogorou''}} because of his heavy smoking habits, instead by his more common nickname {{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|''Nemuri no Kogorou''}}. He is also not a big fan of [[Conan Edogawa]] and the [[Detective Boys]], often yelling at them and telling them to stay away from an investigation; as a result, they believe that Sango is the nicer of the two brothers and the only one able to smile, and Haibara declares that even if they have a similar appearance, their ways of speaking and personalities are totally different<ref>[[Clam Digging With a Sigh|Episode 443: Clam Digging With a Sigh]]</ref>. However, when they do get through to him, Jugo always readily listens and considers their opinions. He is also quite capable in his own right, skeptical about suspects' alibis, and quick to spot obvious discrepancies in a case; he has shown to be able to resolve intricate cases while only relying on a few hints from Conan.<ref name=Ikkaku/>

He is also a competent officer in the heat of action, ready to threaten his own life without hesitation to protect the safety of a civilian<ref>[[Movie 10|Movie 10: Requiem of the Detectives]]</ref>.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Sango Yokomizo ====
[[Sango Yokomizo|Sango]] and Jugo are twin brothers. They seem to be in good relations, but Jugo disapproves of the way that Sango tends to admire every of Kogoro's theories. He sometimes prevents him from going to ridiculous lengths of following him<ref>[[Movie 13|Movie 13: The Raven Chaser]]</ref>.

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
Unlike his twin brother, Jugo is not fond of Kogoro Mouri. He nicknames the detective "Smoking Kogoro" due to his heavy smoking habit.

== Name origin ==
Jugo's name comes from TV Drama [[wikipedia:ja:はぐれ刑事純情派|Stray Detective Pure-Hearted Group]] character {{nihongo|Shigetada Yokomizo|横溝重忠|''Yokomizo Shigetada''}}. His twin Sango's given name combines with his to make a numerical pun: {{nihongo|three|三|san}} times {{nihongo|five|五|go}} makes {{nihongo|fifteen|十五|juugo}}.

'''{{nihongo|Irish|アイリッシュ|Airisshu}}''' is a [[Black Organization]] member who appears as the main antagonist in [[The Raven Chaser|Movie 13]]. He is killed by [[Chianti]] under [[Gin]]'s orders.

== Background ==
Not much is known about Irish, except that he had a lot of respect for [[Pisco]]. It is unknown whether he ever killed anyone, but it is assumed that as a member of the Organization, he has in the past.

== Personality and Skills==

Irish seems quite smart, and endowed with deduction skills; he manages to find out that Conan is actually Shinichi relatively quickly when he has only met him once; and he becomes suspicious about Conan only by hearing a few comments from other officers. However, he is far from being as shrewd as Conan in case solving; during the police investigation, he is limited to record the facts without suggesting any useful ideas.

He has been shown to be skilled in disguising himself, although his large stature constrains him to play only characters of that body shape; he is also not as skilled as Vermouth in this practice. Despite these setbacks, he manages to remain undiscovered until the end of the movie.

[[File:Irish & Ran - 1.png|thumb|right|250px|Irish fighting against Ran]]
Irish is a capable martial arts fighter whose strong body can count on well-mastered battle techniques. He single-handedly knocks out six police officers and a security employee, although it is very likely he hit them from behind. In addition, he is able to stand up to Ran in a hand-to-hand fight; he defeats her after a balanced confrontation, but his winning strike may have relied on the element of surprise. This does not mean that Irish always benefits from advantages during his fights; it has been shown that he could defeat a criminal armed with a stun gun, unarmed, with a single punch. He is just as precise when he uses guns as when he fights with his fists; for instance, he disables all of Conan's gadgets by firing at them without hurting him in any way.

Irish shows no hesitation at using lethal and ruthless force. He seems to enjoy challenges and appreciates Ran's karate skills. Confrontations appear to be enjoyable for him, almost a game, which is shown when he beats Conan, and then hunts him afterwards.

As other Organization members, he has a high pain tolerance, staying conscious after a very bad fall down metal stairs and after having been shot with a sniper.

His rank in the Organization has not been revealed, but the way that the other members act with him would imply that he does not benefit from a high position. Gin scolds him like a subordinate and does not hesitate in giving the order to kill him. He appears to take this decision without deliberating, without fearing any consequences and, above all, without an order from the Boss of the Organization - whereas he needed a direct order to eliminate the executive agent [[Pisco]]. Nevertheless, Irish declares to Conan that he is going to bring him to his boss, which could suggest that his rank is high enough to directly contact him.

== Plot overview ==
Irish disguised as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]] to infiltrate the Tokyo Metropolitan police and retrieve a missing data card with information on the Organization's Non Official Covers. This data card is possessed by the culprit of a large-scale serial murder case. While following the investigation, Irish becomes curious about Conan, researches him, and eventually discovers that he is actually Shinichi.

The evolution of the investigation leads all the police inspectors to the [[Wikipedia:Tokyo Tower|Tokyo Tower]]. Knowing that he is going to catch the culprit there, Irish knocks the other detectives out, helps Conan to defeat the criminal, and recovers the data card. But he then has to fight against Conan himself, and against Ran, who was looking for him and finally found him in the tower. After getting rid of her, he chases Conan until the roof of the tower. At the very moment that Irish gains a decisive advantage over him, he is found by the Organization's helicopter. Gin, recording that he has the data card in his possession, and that his cover has been undisclosed - as Vermouth had signaled to him that the real superintendent had been found - orders his death. He is shot by Chianti, but is not fatally wounded. Conan then tries to carry him to a safe place, but Gin, noticing this attempt, asks Chianti to fire again.

Irish protects Conan from the sniper's bullet with his own body, a movement that causes his death. His last words are "Shinichi Kudo...keep coming...after us."

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===

==== [[Pisco]] ====
Irish admires Pisco and considers him to be like a father. He is therefore devastated when Pisco is cold-heartedly executed by Gin.

==== [[Gin]] ====
Irish holds a deep grudge against Gin for having killed Pisco, and having left his body to turn into ashes. He sees him as a cold-hearted bastard and searches for a way to take him down in the Organization. To do so, he desires to show his Boss the mistake Gin made when he did not kill Shinichi - to provoke his disgrace. This even leads him to act against the Organization's projects since he does not reveal Shinichi's true identity for this reason.
Besides, Irish's enmity is mutual. Gin talks coldly to him, scolds him, and exhorts him to do the job he has been assigned correctly. This job is the only reason Gin even speaks to him; after the task is completed, he immediately orders his death.

==== [[Vermouth]] ====
Even though their relationship is unknown, and that they probably don't really know each other, Vermouth is the only member to show some sympathy or respect to Irish; at least, it is implied when she reveals his codename to Conan when adding that Irish whiskey is nicely distilled, with a mild taste. Furthermore, and the end of the movie, Irish refers to Vermouth's opinion about Conan; this detail may indicate that they have already talked together.

==== [[Chianti]] ====
Chianti does not hesitate a single second to execute Irish, whereas he is, like her, a member of the Organization. She even displays a sadistic smile after having shot him down.

==== [[Korn]] ====
Korn is usually silent, but when Chianti fires at Irish, he declares that he would have liked to shoot. This suggests he does not really care about this member's life.

==== [[Vodka]] ====
After Gin has given the order to kill Irish, Vodka is the only one to protest against it, but it is probably because he fears consequences from the Organization's headquarters, since he keeps quiet afterwards.

==== [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] ====
Irish and Conan are opponents, and he even displays some cruelty while beating and hunting him. However, he ends up using his own body to protect him from Chianti's line of fire. His last words, telling Conan to keep chasing the Organization, suggest that he eventually gained confidence in Conan. Beside Vermouth, he is the only non-undercover member of the Organization to have shown respect for him.
As for Conan, he tries to carry Irish's body out of Chianti's range, and tells him that he is going to give him medical treatment. This is probably because he wants Irish to supply information about his Boss' location; and also because Conan always does his best to save lives.

'''{{nihongo|Irish|アイリッシュ|Airisshu}}''' is a [[Black Organization]] member who appears as the main antagonist in [[The Raven Chaser|Movie 13]]. He is killed by [[Chianti]] under [[Gin]]'s orders.

== Background ==
Not much is known about Irish, except that he had a lot of respect for [[Pisco]]. It is unknown whether he ever killed anyone, but it is assumed that as a member of the Organization, he has in the past.

== Personality and Skills==

Irish seems quite smart, and endowed with deduction skills; he manages to find out that Conan is actually Shinichi relatively quickly when he has only met him once; and he becomes suspicious about Conan only by hearing a few comments from other officers. However, he is far from being as shrewd as Conan in case solving; during the police investigation, he is limited to record the facts without suggesting any useful ideas.

He has been shown to be skilled in disguising himself, although his large stature constrains him to play only characters of that body shape; he is also not as skilled as Vermouth in this practice. Despite these setbacks, he manages to remain undiscovered until the end of the movie.

[[File:Irish & Ran - 1.png|thumb|right|250px|Irish fighting against Ran]]
Irish is a capable martial arts fighter whose strong body can count on well-mastered battle techniques. He single-handedly knocks out six police officers and a security employee, although it is very likely he hit them from behind. In addition, he is able to stand up to Ran in a hand-to-hand fight; he defeats her after a balanced confrontation, but his winning strike may have relied on the element of surprise. This does not mean that Irish always benefits from advantages during his fights; it has been shown that he could defeat a criminal armed with a stun gun, unarmed, with a single punch. He is just as precise when he uses guns as when he fights with his fists; for instance, he disables all of Conan's gadgets by firing at them without hurting him in any way.

Irish shows no hesitation at using lethal and ruthless force. He seems to enjoy challenges and appreciates Ran's karate skills. Confrontations appear to be enjoyable for him, almost a game, which is shown when he beats Conan, and then hunts him afterwards.

As other Organization members, he has a high pain tolerance, staying conscious after a very bad fall down metal stairs and after having been shot with a sniper.

His rank in the Organization has not been revealed, but the way that the other members act with him would imply that he does not benefit from a high position. Gin scolds him like a subordinate and does not hesitate in giving the order to kill him. He appears to take this decision without deliberating, without fearing any consequences and, above all, without an order from the Boss of the Organization - whereas he needed a direct order to eliminate the executive agent [[Pisco]]. Nevertheless, Irish declares to Conan that he is going to bring him to his boss, which could suggest that his rank is high enough to directly contact him.

Akai also tells him that he is sorry for the death of a man connected to Furuya in the past. Amuro apologizes for intruding upon Subaru, who turned out after Amuro leaves to be Yusaku Kudo in disguise to allow Akai to come to Jodie and Camel's rescue.

Okiya and Conan figure out the trick, but Okiya wants to see if the FBI can figure it out. While the kids solve the trick in another room, Akai/Subaru talks with Jodie and Camel of a text he received from KIR of a new player from the syndicate: RUM. Akai says that RUM is so major a player that he outranks GIN, due to his closeness to the Boss. Conan listens in on their talk on RUM. Meanwhile, Bourbon tells Vermouth that Akai is 'dead' and that if she keeps helping him, he won't release her secret to the members of the Organization that hate her.

'''The Roller Coaster Murder Case''' is the pilot episode of the series, and aired on January 8, 1996 in Japan. It begins in the middle of a case where a murder was committed during a party at a private mansion. This opening scene introduces both [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]] for the very first time, as well as showcasing Shinichi's impressive deduction and soccer skills when he reveals the killer.

== Characters introduced ==

Most of the main characters are introduced throughout the episode. It is interesting to note the presence of [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], as their first manga appearance was not until [[Volume_2#Scary_Building_Case|Volume 2]].

== Case 1: Crime at the Private Mansion ==
=== Situation ===
The episode starts in a mansion where a party has been interrupted by a murder: one of the guests, President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank, was found dead with a bullet in his heart. The police, led by [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], have been investigating the crime scene, but have no conclusive evidence as to who the killer is. However, [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] makes his grand entrance and claims that he has figured out the case.
{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Murder
| image = EP1 Case 1.jpg
| location = Private Mansion
| victim = Yamazaki
| cause-death = Gunshot wound
| suspects = Owner/Host, and guests
| description = President Yamazaki of Yatsubishi Bank is found dead in a locked room with a bullet through his chest.
}}

=== People ===
{{BeginBox}}
{{People|Mansion owner|EP1 Mansion Owner.jpg|
* Owner of the mansion
* In a wheelchair due to injured leg}}
{{People|Yamazaki|Yamazaki.jpg|
* Victim (gunshot)
* President of Yatsubishi Bank}}
{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
====Evidence====
*Shinichi states that the room Yamazaki was killed in was locked from the inside. The only possible entrance into the room was the window.
*The mansion owner claims that there is at least a 10 meter gap between the two windows that Shinichi states the killer used. Shinichi points out, however, that if the killer used the roof to get closer to the other window, this gap is shortened to a mere 2 meters. Therefore, it could easily be jumped across.
*Shinichi notes that there is an indentation on the balcony where the killer attached a rope with a piece of wood at the end, allowing the killer a way to get back across to the 3rd floor window, as it is impossible for the killer to have successfully landed on the 10 centimeter roof ledge coming back. By using a piece of wood rather than simply tying the rope to the balcony, the killer was able to remove evidence of his method of escape while on the other side of the building.
*The lack of footprints below the window implies that it was an inside job.
*Shinichi claims to have spoken with the killer's doctor.

====Conclusion====

Shinichi concludes that the murderer could only have been someone who knew the mansion very well and eventually points his finger at the '''owner'''. The latter, being in a wheelchair, then starts to laugh, claiming that he's in no position to be able to commit such a crime. Shinichi then grabs a globe and throws it towards the owner who immediately jumps out of his chair to avoid it. The maid and guests are all in shock. Shinichi then says that he's been healed for a while now as reported by his doctor, which Megure confirms.

====Motive====

Although the episode does not clearly state the mansion owner's motive, it likely had something to do with the "under-the-table" financial dealings that the owner had with Yamazaki.
</spoiler>

== Case 2: Roller Coaster Murder Case ==
=== Situation ===
[[Ran Mouri]] meets up with her friend Shinichi Kudo on their way to [[Setting#Teitan_High_School_.28.E5.B8.9D.E4.B8.B9.E9.AB.98.E6.A0.A1.29|Teitan High School]]. After Shinichi explains to Ran why he quit the soccer team and tells her that he wants to become a detective like the fictional Sherlock Holmes, Ran reminds Shinichi of a promise he made with her: if Ran won the regional karate championship, Shinichi would go with her to the amusement park, [[Setting#Tropical_Land_.28.E3.83.88.E3.83.AD.E3.83.94.E3.82.AB.E3.83.AB.E3.83.A9.E3.83.B3.E3.83.89.29|Tropical Land]]. After school, they go to Tropical Land and get in line for the Mystery Coaster. Shinichi demonstrates his deductive reasoning to Ran when he correctly deduces that a girl standing in line in front of them is a gymnast. Shinichi and Ran's date is cut short when a murder occurs while they're riding the roller coaster. Who is responsible for killing Kishida, and how did they do it?

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
====Evidence====
*Shinichi examines the tunnel area of the Mystery Coaster and finds a wire with some pearls still strung onto it and a hook at the end of the wire.
*The killer left a false piece of evidence, a bloodied knife, inside Aiko's purse with the intention of framing her. Shinichi explains that this is a fake piece of evidence, because it is impossible for a woman to have enough leverage and force to behead someone while on the ride.

====Conclusion====
Shinichi states the killer used an object like a purse or a backpack to escape the ride restraints and wrap a wire around the victim's head while in the darkness of the Mystery Coaster's tunnel. After tying the wire around the victim's head the killer tossed a hook attached to the other end onto the roller coaster's track, beheading the victim using the coaster's speed and movement. Shinichi concludes the murderer is '''Hitomi''', as her expertise as a gymnast makes this feat possible. He proves her guilt through two crucial pieces of evidence:
# Hitomi's necklace (the murder weapon) is missing after the end of the ride
# Hitomi has a tear-trail on her face that runs horizontally which is impossible unless she was crying during the course of the ride.

====Motive====
Hitomi's motive for murdering Kishida is because she used to go out with him long before she met Aiko and Reiko in college, until he dumped her. Hitomi planned to murder Kishida at the place they had their first date (Tropical Land) using the very necklace he had bought for her. Had Shinichi not proven the truth behind the murder, Hitomi was planning to commit suicide via drugs after the visit to Tropical Land.
</spoiler>

== Episode Resolution: Chasing the Men in Black ==
<spoiler>
Shinichi, suspicious of the two men dressed in all black that rode the coaster, decides to follow them on their way to the outskirts of Tropical Land. He tells Ran to head home without him, and when she tries to follow her shoelace breaks, leaving her to watch him go with the strange feeling she'll never see him again. Shinichi gets caught up watching [[Vodka|one of the men]] conduct a blackmail transaction with a company executive and doesn't notice the [[Gin|other man dressed in black]] sneaking up from behind until the man knocks Shinichi out with pipe. To avoid the attention of the police, they give Shinichi an [[APTX 4869|un-tested poison]] in order to kill him without a trace, and leave him to die. However, rather than killing Shinichi, the poison shrinks him down to the size of a [[Conan Edogawa|six year old]].

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}

* The first episode of the anime includes the Detective Boys who don't appear until many chapters later in the manga.
* Hiroshi Agasa and Kogoro Mouri also appear in this episode, whereas in the manga they make their debut in the [[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].
* The mansion owner kills his wife in the manga. In the anime the owner kills his friend and business partner, Yamazaki.
* In the manga, Shinichi is asked for the football by a group of small children. In the anime, the ball is from his school's soccer team; Shinichi also scores a goal with the ball, instead of merely kicking it back.
* In the manga, when Ran is trying to kick Shinichi, he leaps out of the way rather than his face ending up under her skirt.
* In the manga, Reiko points out that Gin and Vodka could have committed the murder as they were behind the victim. Shinichi acknowledges that they look suspicious, but if they pulled off the murder, they would have anticipated the arrival of the police (which they don't, as they are in a hurry to pull off their transaction).
* In the manga, Shinichi uses a camera when spying on Vodka. In the anime, he simply eavesdrops on the deal going on.

==Dub changes==
*The names of the characters in the [[Funimation]] Dub are:
:* Hitomi - Haley
:* Aiko - Ashley
:* Kishida - Kenneth
:* Reiko - Rikki
*In the English Dub, Agasa reactivates his rocket pack on purpose, whereas in the Japanese Version he does so unknowingly.
*In the English Dub, Kogoro takes offense to Ran's compliment of Shinichi, whereas the Japanese Version has him stating that he needs to make a living.
*In the English Dub, Ran sarcastically states that Shinichi looked at Hitomi's legs for the purpose of making a deduction, whereas in the Japanese Version she critiques him for knowing that Hitomi is a gymnast before shaking her hand.
*In the English Dub, Gin's reason for using the [[APTX 4869]] was fear of leaving a bullet trail behind, whereas in the Japanese Version it was due to the cops still being around after the murder on the roller coaster.

== Remastered version ==
On April 4, 2009, a remastered version of the case was aired. A few modifications were made in this new version: the victim's head doesn't land next to the Detective Boys and the scene where the viewer could see blood on the roller-coaster was cut.

==== Part 1 ====

Takagi and Sato are on a date at Tropical Land. Meanwhile, Shiratori, along with several other officers, are at the park in a surveillance van investigating a rumored drug deal involving a dealer in hiding named Asakichi Yakura. Shiratori also plans to intentionally interfere with Takagi's date. Shiratori has one of the officers bring the Detective Boys to the park and put them in Takagi and Sato's care. Takagi plans to present Sato with a ring inside his green backpack and discovers a bag of heroin inside. He realizes that he picked up the wrong backpack during the roller coaster ride. They return to the ride and learn from the attendant that no one returned asking for the backpack. Conan discerns the bag's owner was delivering the drugs without knowing what was inside, causing Sato to suspect Yakura's involvement. The backpack's strap reveals that the owner wore it on his left shoulder, suggesting he is left handed. They proceed to a photo-booth to examine the passengers who were with them on the roller coaster. Meanwhile, the officers misunderstand Sato's conversation, believing Kekkon (血痕?, lit. Bloodstain) to mean Kekkon (結婚?, lit. Marriage) and Heroin to mean Hirōen (披露宴?, lit. Reception) which causes them to believe that Takagi proposed. This allures them to seek out Takagi's backpack with the ring. At the photo booth, the four suspects are a golfer, a baseball player, soccer player, and swimmer. The golfer's writing reveals him to be left handed due to the ink smearing to the right.

==== Part 2 ====

They confront the golfer and discover he is not the owner of the backpack.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan investigates the backpack's contents and upon sniffing oil from a rag, reveals the owner to be the '''baseball player'''. Conan explains that out of the other three athletes, the baseball player uses the oil for his baseball glove. They then search for the baseball player and upon finding him, follow him to the aquatic show. When Sato discovers the baseball player is meeting with Yakura, she attempts to apprehend him. Yakura manages to escape Sato's grip and flees towards the ferris wheel. The fireworks and ferris wheel cause Sato to remember a traumatic moment, halting her to a standstill. Conan manages to knock Yakura into the ocean. Takagi's backpack falls in as well, meaning that it and the ring are lost forever. The police apprehend Yakura and, satisfied with Takagi's loss, leave. Takagi comforts Sato and promises her that he will not leave her.

=== Situation ===

==== Part 1 ====

Takagi and Sato are on a date at Tropical Land. Meanwhile, Shiratori, along with several other officers, are at the park in a surveillance van investigating a rumored drug deal involving a dealer in hiding named Asakichi Yakura. Shiratori also plans to intentionally interfere with Takagi's date. Shiratori has one of the officers bring the Detective Boys to the park and put them in Takagi and Sato's care. Takagi plans to present Sato with a ring inside his green backpack and discovers a bag of heroin inside. He realizes that he picked up the wrong backpack during the roller coaster ride. They return to the ride and learn from the attendant that no one returned asking for the backpack. Conan discerns the bag's owner was delivering the drugs without knowing what was inside, causing Sato to suspect Yakura's involvement. The backpack's strap reveals that the owner wore it on his left shoulder, suggesting he is left handed. They proceed to a photo-booth to examine the passengers who were with them on the roller coaster. Meanwhile, the officers misunderstand Sato's conversation, believing Kekkon (血痕?, lit. Bloodstain) to mean Kekkon (結婚?, lit. Marriage) and Heroin to mean Hirōen (披露宴?, lit. Reception) which causes them to believe that Takagi proposed. This allures them to seek out Takagi's backpack with the ring. At the photo booth, the four suspects are a golfer, a baseball player, soccer player, and swimmer. The golfer's writing reveals him to be left handed due to the ink smearing to the right.

==== Part 2 ====

They confront the golfer and discover he is not the owner of the backpack.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan investigates the backpack's contents and upon sniffing oil from a rag, reveals the owner to the '''baseball player'''. Conan explains that out of the other three athletes, the baseball player uses the oil for his baseball glove. They then search for the baseball player and upon finding him, follow him to the aquatic show. When Sato discovers the baseball player is meeting with Yakura, she attempts to apprehend him. Yakura manages to escape Sato's grip and flees towards the ferris wheel. The fireworks and ferris wheel cause Sato to remember a traumatic moment, halting her to a standstill. Conan manages to knock Yakura into the ocean. Takagi's backpack falls in as well, meaning that it and the ring are lost forever. The police apprehend Yakura and, satisfied with Takagi's loss, leave. Takagi comforts Sato and promises her that he will not leave her.

=== Situation ===

==== Part 1 ====
When a fan of Kogoro's who works as a famous potter invites the Mouri family out to his place for the weekend, Kogoro wins an valuable cup of pottery. After a long night of drinking, the group awakes and finds that a suicide has taken place. Megure thinks it may be more than a coincidence, but what is the real truth behind this mystery?

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
The killer is '''Ryuichi Seto'''. He had discovered that Masuko was falsifying several of Kikuemon's prized pottery pieces and selling them for huge prizes, making them pass as the real deal. He attempted to dissuade Masuko, but she harshly rebuffed him; Ryuichi was enraged both due to this and to his own pride, and decided to kill her.

When Masuko got drunk, Ryuichi took the sleeping woman to the storage room, placing her inside a drawer and putting a hanging loose rope around her neck. After this he put Masuko's cellphone next to her, since she used it as an alarm clock; when the still drunk Masuko woke up with the cellphone alarm and tried to get out of bed, she ended up hanging herself instead. The blood came from a wound caused by a metal nail sticking out of the drawer.

Akai family

2014-08-15T22:11:56Z

Catstorm:

The Akai family has three known members so far: [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Masumi Sera]], and [[Akai family's middle brother|an unknown middle brother]]. Masumi has also alluded to a well endowed mother and a deceased father. According to Masumi, her surname Sera comes from her mother's side, and her second brother had also been sharing this surname until he graduated from high school. There is an additional [[unknown child]] of middle school age who may be part of the Akai family.

== Members ==

{{familytree/start|summary=Shuichi Akai, an unknown middle brother, Masumi Sera are siblings. Information about their parents is mostly unknown, although Masumi has mentioned her mother.}}

===Mr. Akai (The Father)===
There is currently no information about him, other than the fact that he is deceased and passed his looks down to his middle son.

===Mrs. Akai (The Mother)===
*Mrs. Akai is bosomy.
*Mrs. Akai presumably passed her looks onto Akai and Sera.
*Mrs. Akai is living in America.<ref>Chapter 786</ref>

===Shuichi Akai (1st son)===
{{main|Shuichi Akai}}
Shuichi Akai is the 1st son in Akai family. He is an [[FBI]] agent and a major figure in the battle against the [[Black Organization]]. He once assumed the identity of Dai Moroboshi and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename Rye. During this time he made enemies with [[Gin]] and [[Bourbon]] and became romantically involved with [[Akemi Miyano]].

===Unknown (2nd son)===
{{main|Akai family's middle brother}}
Assuming the middle brother is between 16 (assumed lower range for Masumi's real age) and 35 (assumed upper range for Akai's age based on his appearance and reasonable full-blooding sibling age separation), multiple characters could qualify for his identity. It's possible that the middle brother is a minor character who was a suspect or witness in a case, but did not distinguish himself or demonstrate his intelligence. It's also possible for the middle brother to be a character who has not been introduced yet, but will be later in a flashback. Some fans think the mysterious [[Unknown child]] who looks like a member of the Akai family might be the brother after being shrunken by APTX 4869.

===Masumi Sera (3rd daughter)===
{{main|Masumi Sera}}
Masumi Sera is the 3rd daughter in Akai family. She is a high school detective. She is the younger sister of FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]]. Although she grew up in Japan during her elementary school years, she moved to America three years ago with her mother, presumably due to Akai infiltrating the [[Black Organization]]. She has recently returned to Japan for some unknown reason.

==Timeline==

* Mr. Akai and Mrs. Sera are born and married. Mrs. Sera takes her husband's surname Akai.
*?? years ago: [[Shuichi Akai]] is born.
* 28-29 years ago: the [[Akai family's middle brother|middle brother]] is born with the surname Akai. (His approximate age is based on the age of his classmates.)
* 16-17 years ago: [[Masumi Sera|Masumi Akai]] is born in Japan. At this time, the middle brother is approximately 12-13 and in junior high.
* Sometime after Masumi is conceived, the father dies. The time of the father's death is uncertain, but Masumi implies it affected the family names.
* >14-15 years ago: Masumi and the middle brother start using the family name Sera instead of Akai
* 14-15 years ago: the middle brother enters high school with the family name Sera. Masumi is ~2.
* 11-12 years ago: the middle brother graduates high school and changes his family name from Sera to something else. Masumi is 4-5. (Masumi says all three siblings have different family names. Masumi has "Sera", Shuuichi has "Akai", and the middle brother has something else.)
* 5-10 years ago: Shuuichi sends Masumi Jeet Kune Do videos. (Masumi is 6-11 and in elementary school)
* 5 years ago: Shuuichi starts infiltrating the [[Black Organization]] and dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. The middle brother is 23-24 and Masumi is 11.
* 3 years ago: Mrs. Akai and Masumi move to America, Masumi goes to middle school in America.
* 2 years ago: Shuuichi is uncovered as an FBI agent and is ejected from the Black Organization.
* Current: Masumi comes back at the age of 16-17 to Japan. The middle brother has been living in Japan.

==Speculation==
[[File:Unknown_child_Profile.jpg|thumb|right|The unknown child.]]
===Unknown child===
{{main|Unknown child}}

Masumi Sera has been shown interacting with a child who may be related to the Akai family. The child appears to be a middle-school aged girl, has the characteristic Akai family eyes, and asks Masumi to tell Conan she is her little sister from outside the territory.

As Masumi didn't mention having a younger sister, this had led to fan speculation that the child could be one of the other family members shrunken by APTX 4869.

* 5-10 years ago: Shuuichi sends Masumi Jeet Kune Do videos. (Masumi is 6-11 and in elementary school)
* 5 years ago: Shuuichi starts infiltrating the [[Black Organization]] and dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. The middle brother is 23-24 and Masumi is 11.
* 3 years ago: Mrs. Akai and Masumi move to America, Masumi goes to middle school in America.
* 2 years ago: Shuuichi is uncovered as an FBI agent and is ejected from the Black Organization.
* Current: Masumi comes back at the age of 16-17 to Japan. The middle brother has been living in Japan.

===Unknown child===
{{main|Unknown child}}

Masumi Sera has been shown interacting with a child who may be related to the Akai family. The child appears to be a middle-school aged girl, has the characteristic Akai family eyes, and asks Masumi to tell Conan she is her little sister from outside the territory.

As Masumi didn't mention having a younger sister, this had led to fan speculation that the child could be one of the other family members shrunken by APTX 4869.

=== Situation ===

==== Part 1 ====
A man seeks out Kogoro Mouri to help find his passed wife's wind-up watch in his apartment. Thinking it's a ridiculous request, Kogoro refuses, and instead Professor Agasa and the Detective Boys offer help. When everyone arrives in his house, a woman knocks and asks for the money the man loaned. He returns part of it and lets her borrow a film she has been looking for. As she was eager for seeing it, she begins to watch it right there in the video room. Conan finds the watch, which is still working even though it's supposed to be stopped. The woman is found dead and the tape in the VCR rewound.

}}

==== Part 2 ====
As an aside, Detective Takagi tells Conan that someone stole all of Kogoro Mouri's case files relating to [[The Mysterious Passenger|the busjacking]] case from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Despite what the circumstances look like, Conan does not think that Idetsuki was attacked by a burglar. When he notices the scent of burnt flowers, he finds the hidden truth of the crime scene.

{{EndBox}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
With the help of the Detective Boys, Conan delays Morita from being at the scene while setting up the trick. By getting Megure, Takagi and Agasa to demonstrate the method behind the murder, Conan made '''Hideo Morita''' confess that he killed Idetsuki for persuading his late wife to play the stock market and become buried in debt. She told him the truth the day before her death and took off the watch because she didn't want it to be destroyed. Morita was then taken into custody.

After solving the case, Conan rushes home to Ran, fearing that members of the [[Black Organization]] were the ones who stole the material on Kogoro's investigations and that Kogoro is being constantly monitored. Upon arrival, Conan discovers that his suspicions were unfounded and that Ran is fine, but Conan does not recognize that someone is really watching the agency: Shuichi Akai.
</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
The movie Eiko Idetsuki was watching starred the main character of one of Gosho's short stories "[[Play It Again]]", but used a different voice actor.

{{nihongo|'''Kogoro Mouri'''|毛利小五郎|''Mōri Kogorō''}} is one of the main characters of the [[manga]] and [[anime]]. He is a private detective and the father of [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Young Kogoro in school]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]], [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and the actress Ruri Ujo.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the Judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

Some time after graduating, Kogoro became a police officer. He worked in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Division One with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], but while an excellent marksman he was not a particularly good investigator. He also worked for some time under [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division as well. While Movie 2 strongly suggests that Kogoro left the police force because of the incident where he gave his wife, [[Eri Kisaki]], a bullet graze on the leg to save her from a hostage situation, his reasons for leaving the force have not been confirmed in the manga. <ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> Around the time Kogoro left the police force, Eri also moved out, though they have never officially divorced despite ten years having passed.<ref name="m2" /> Their daughter, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], keeps trying to get them back together, but she has yet to succeed. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still has feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet,<ref>[[Volume 17]]</ref> though she still has feelings for him as well. These are expressed mainly through jealousy when Kogoro's attention is caught by other attractive women in the vicinity, which occurs on a regular basis.

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi to move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume_4#File_032_-_The_Pen_That_Cannot_Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouth-piece by drawing Kogoro's attentions to important clues he has uncovered.

In the Japanese version, due to his name Kogoro Mouri he is often mistaken for the famous astronaut [[wikipedia:Mamoru Mohri|Mamoru Mohri]] when he introduces himself, because they both are in the news frequently, of Japanese decent, and have the same last name. In the English version, when Kogoro introduces himself he is often mistaken for a famous astronaut as well, possibly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Moore Patrick Moore].

In the US version, Kogoro Mouri says that he is forty-three, as opposed to being thirty-eight in the Japanese version. It is unknown if Eri's age remains the same, since they attended school together. If not, if it will affect the ''Princess Pageant'' storyline that occurred twenty years ago, making her in her twenties when she participated instead of a teenager.
{{clearleft}}

==Personality==
[[File:Kogoro's personality.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Kogoro in the morning.]]
[[Image:Kogoro and Yoko Okino.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kogoro showboating in front of [[Yoko Okino]].]]
[[File:701_5.png|thumb|250px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]

Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his own importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his own clients. On cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor changes and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

Kogoro easily becomes infatuated with beautiful women. His favorite celebrity is pop idol [[Yoko Okino]], and he never misses (or tries not to miss) her television shows.<ref>[[Volume 3#File 025 - The Dream That Will Not Come True|Volume 3, File 25: "The Dream That Will Not Come True"]]</ref><ref>Such behaviors can be seen consistently from [[Volume 1#File 006 - From Third-Rate to Great Detective|Volume 1, File 6: From Third-Rate to Great Detective]] to [[Volume 52#File 541 - Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Volume 52, File 541: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]].</ref> He also keeps a large collection of Yoko related goods and his office and bedroom have Yoko posters. Because of his flirtatious behavior around attractive women, he often embarrasses Ran, and while it is not stated as the reason why Eri left him, it is one of the primary reasons why she hasn't come back.

While never outright called an alcoholic, Kogoro has a tendency to get intoxicated and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi/Conan]] often makes sarcastic remarks about him spending money on alcohol. In the anime, particularly in early episodes, his office is littered with empty beer cans,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> and he keeps a well-stocked liquor shelf. Kogoro is also a heavy smoker, and is usually seen with a cigarette in his mouth. Other hobbies include watching his favorite idol star, [[Yoko Okino]], betting on horse races, playing mahjong (which he tends to lose) and playing or watching baseball (he even plays in his neighborhood's team).

Kogoro suffers from a mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is.
{{clear}}

== Appearance ==
Kogoro is a fairly tall and fit man (especially for the amount of beer he drinks). He has high cheekbones, a short mustache, and short black hair. His hair is constantly slicked back with two loose locks hanging across his forehead. Ten years ago, when Kogoro was still on the police force, he was clean shaven.<ref>Manga Volume 55, File 7, page 6: "Dawn"</ref> While on cases Kogoro usually wears a muted blue or grey suit and necktie, and just a collared shirt when being more casual. If he has been drinking heavily, he often ties his necktie around his forehead like a bandana. He seems to be reasonably fit, as he is capable of doing an [[#Judo|Ippon seoi-nage]]. Kogoro is right handed.<ref>Manga Volume 51, File 8, page 3: "Goroo is Goro?!" Kogoro writing with his right hand</ref> Kogoro also smokes, although over the course of Detective Conan's run he has gradually been depicted smoking less often.

== Abilities ==
=== Detective skills ===
:''See also: [[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]'' 
Throughout most of the series, Kogoro is depicted as a fairly incompetent (or just plain lazy) detective, often missing clues and jumping to the wrong conclusions, though several of these conclusions are shared by other people on the scene. However, Kogoro does follow the proper police procedures, asks questions, and (with a little help from Conan) follows leads quite well. Despite his ineptness, he had been a police officer under [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and in also the arson department ten years prior to the start of the series<ref name="m2" /> He is shown to have left the police force after events addressed in the second movie, ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]''.<ref name="m2" />[[File:Kogoro is stunned.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Kogoro's characteristic strange expression when Conan uses the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]]]]

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume_4#File_032_-_The_Pen_That_Cannot_Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquillizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorou}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

In several stories, Kogoro demonstrates the ability to solve crimes without (or with little) help from Conan, especially when people he knows or cares about are involved; it appears that, while he can connect the dots just fine, he can't actually find them as quickly as Conan does. The first of these events takes place during a trip to a hot spring, where one of his old college friends is murdered. Kogoro is actually so disturbed and determined to find the killer on his own that Conan cannot bring himself to drug him, limiting himself to surreptitiously drawing attention to the necessary clues.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 084 - Kogoro's Class Reunion|Volume 9, Files 84-86: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> Despite his frequent moronic analyses, Kogoro is actually pretty smart when he applies himself. He is even able to completely solve a crime on his own in the ninth movie, ''[[Strategy Above the Depths]]'', due to the fact that the culprit Minako resembles Eri, and Conan applauds him mentally for his success. (For a more detailed list of the cases he has—more or less—solved on his own, see '''''[[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]''''').

=== Judo ===
Kogoro is an expert in Judo. He was on the Judo team while he was at Beika University. Although he was the strongest on the team and can and still does toss large men with ease, he lost all the time at tournaments because he got excited and his strength was used against him. His trademark maneuver is the [http://www.judoinfo.com/images/animations/blue/ipponseoi.htm Ippon seoi-nage] (one-arm shoulder throw), which he often uses to incapacitate escaping suspects. He appears to also be a capable teacher in the art, having taught both Eri and Ran.

=== Shooting ===
In the non-[[canon]] [[Movie 2]], Kogoro was an excellent shot with a handgun, being able to hit targets at great distance with an impressive level of accuracy.
{{clearleft}}

== Appellations ==
Kogoro earned the nickname {{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}} because of his trademark technique of solving cases while looking like he is asleep. Many characters unfamiliar with him call him by this nickname when they realize who he is.

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|File 2-5]]; Anime: [[Episode 2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|220px|thumb|right|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so however, as they are on a highway.

When the three arrive at the Tani household, Kogoro questions some of the household members about the details of the kidnapping. However, Conan’s continuous interference gets on his nerves, even to the point that he wants to “kill” the boy after solving the case.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 3, Page 10]]. However, it was most likely just an exaggerated type of expression rather than his true desire of killing Conan.</ref> Later, with help from Conan’s hints, Kogoro is able to come to the conclusion that the house butler is behind the kidnapping. However, Akiko Tani has already been abducted in truth by someone else. After the case is over, it is revealed that the first kidnapping was just a set-up by the girl with the help from the butler, while the second one was by mere chance. Kogoro then laughs in satisfaction and takes all the credits for himself while Conan is actually the one to release the dog and locate Akiko. At the end, Kogoro finally accepts Conan and adopts him, feeling that with the boy around, “he will solve the cases smoothly as silk”.<ref>[[Volume 1| Volume 1, File 5, Page 16]]</ref> With this statement, Kogoro is, ironically, correct.

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|File 6-9]]; Anime: [[Episode 3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, in order to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

Busying enjoying one of [[Yoko Okino]]’s shows, Kogoro tells a new client to come back the next day. However, after discovering that his client is none other than Yoko herself, he rushes to his room and cleans up into an impeccable suit. Yoko explains she is being stalked, and agreed to investigate her apartment secretly (after asking for her personal information and an autograph). However, to everyone's shock, when they arrive at the apartment there is a dead body inside. Kogoro orders them to call the Police and is furious when Yoko’s manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, tries to dissuade him in order to protect Yoko from the media. When Inspector [[Megure]] arrives, he gets depressed about his old subordinate’s appearance, thinking of him as the one who always makes situation turns into a “nightmare”.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 7, Page 5]]</ref>

Conan's investigations once again annoy Kogoro while Kogoro tries to defend Yoko despite the apparent evidence that she committed the murder. He repeatedly accuses Eiichi of being the murderer, as he has a copied key, though there's no proof of either person's guilt or innocence. He switches suspicions to fellow idol Yuko Ikezawa after Yuko's earring is discovered in the apartment. When Yuko is trapped into admitting she was the the "stalker" but still denies being the murderer, he switches back to accusing Eiichi. Realizing Kogoro’s mistake, Conan kicks an ash-tray at his head, knocking him unconscious. He uses the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] that [[Agasa]] has given to him earlier to imitate Kogoro’s voice, and points out that the case is in fact a suicide. Kogoro wakes up after the case is solved when the cigarette in his hand starts to burn his fingers. From then on, Conan has used Kogoro as a puppet mouthpiece for solving cases, with the secondary purpose of turning the man into a famous detective.

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|File 10-12]]; Anime: [[Episode 38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|220px|right|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way in order to make people clearly see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the previous cases. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

=== Masami Hirota Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|File 13-16]]; Anime: [[Episode 128]])===
This is Kogoro's first direct encounter with a member from the [[Black Organization]], though he is unaware of it at the time.

=== Museum Owner Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 4|File 30-32]]; Anime: [[Episode 8]]) ===
This case marks Kogoro Mouri's first fame as a private detective.

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|220px|thumb|left|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit, because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

With this piece of evidence and some further discoveries, Kogoro and the police accuse Kubota of being the culprit. However, Conan is suspicious of the simplicity and of Manaka's behavior on the video while writing the note. Conan realizes that Kubota was framed by someone with a great love of art who could order Kubota into doing a job alone: the museum curator, Ochiai. Ochiai prepared the note beforehand and gave Manaka a pen without ink. Conan tricks Ochiai into revealing that he switched the pen found with Manaka with the one in his pocket, and Ochiai confesses to the crime. At the end of the case, Kogoro is shown reading a newspaper article that features him. He is proud of himself for "solving" the murder case, and is happy that he has become an "instant celebrity".

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|File 84-86]]; Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|Episode 27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|220px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|220px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role in investigating her death before the polive arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago, when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn mark around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then comes to the conclusion that his friend was actually murdered.

Suspecting that Jun Omura is hiding something, Kogoro interrogates him and learns that he saw Yumi after 5 PM, when she was supposed to have died. Even though on the outside, Kogoro keeps saying that the killer was some intruder, deep inside he knows for sure that the culprit must have been among his best friends, since outsiders wouldn't bother faking the crime scene. When being questioned by Conan, Kogoro angrily punches at a house-stake, yelling that he will not forgive the culprit, and determines to "expose them with no question, no matter what".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 85]]. In the anime version, he punched the wall.</ref>

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|220px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time, and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's helps, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was actually killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who the real demon is. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is actually the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

The case ends with Kogoro staring sadly out of the window because of his friends' story, but his "spirit" immediately revives after seeing a girl's pink underwear.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 18]]</ref>


=== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11|File 102-104]]; Anime: [[Episode 31]]) ===
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]] for the second time in this case.

Kogoro is invited to attend a live television show as a guest star. However, a murder occurs at the studio. After finding out all the evidence, Conan lures Kogoro to a separate room with the lie that [[Yoko Okino]] is in there. Just as usual, he decides to tranquilize Kogoro and use the man to solve the case. When Kogoro wakes up, he begins to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He is also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tries to pull him outside, he always falls asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabs the boy's suit jacket and wants to "clear things up". Luckily for Conan, Yoko Okino appears for real and Kogoro completely loses his suspicions.

=== Game Convention Case (Manga: [[Volume 12|File 114-116]]; Anime: [[Episode 54]])===
Kogoro's fame has reached the point that a video game was developed with him as the main character. Though Conan encounters someone from the [[Black Organization]], Kogoro is only involved with investigating the man's death.



=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|File 163-165]]; Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was actually set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped to flirt with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro actually went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|220px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still hasn’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring in order to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

=== Murderer Kogoro Mouri Case (Manga: [[Volume 27|File 264-266]]; Anime: [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro at the bar.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Kogoro is drunken at the bar.]]
Kogoro encounters his wife Eri once again at a vacation spot, where he eventually becomes the prime suspect in the murder of her colleague and rival, Ritsuko Usui.

The events take place when Kogoro, along with Ran and Conan, unexpectedly finds Eri shopping with a fellow lawyer, Norifumi Saku. He suspects that his wife is going out with Saku, not knowing that she's actually trying to pick a present for himself as the next day will be their wedding anniversary. They agree to have a drink together with Eri's other acquainted lawyers, but the detective's old bad habits while drunk once again enrages her.

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|220px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

Much to everyone's surprise, Eri refuses to defend her husband in court, while openly declaring her accusation of Kogoro. However, her real intention is to remain at the crime scene in order to find a way to prove his innocence, but Kogoro misunderstands this and angrily walks away after replying with some sarcastic comments.

Eri, with Conan's help, eventually manages to unmask the true murderer and clear Kogoro's name. The next day morning, after learning of his wife's deeds, Kogoro walks to where Eri is sitting and apologizes to her. He also sincerely asks her to come back with him, only to find out that she's just listening to Ran's MD without actually hearing anything that he said. Kogoro gets angry at Eri again as she leaves, not knowing that she has recorded all of his nice words into the disk.

Later on, Ran manages to win them a family trip to Shizuoka with Kogoro's lottery ticket and invites Eri to a birthday dinner with Kogoro, Ran and Conan.

The dinner doesn't go as well as planned. Kogoro behaves in his usual casual manner, acting indifferent to Eri's presence and seemingly having no intention of giving Eri the necklace. Later that night, a murder occurs in Eri's hotel room. Kogoro immediately devotes himself to solving the case and after receiving hints from Conan, and with both Conan and Eri's help with his deduction, uncovers the murderer's identity.

After the case is closed, Kogoro steps up to give Eri the present. It turns out that Kogoro had remembered Eri's birthday as Sports Day (taiiku no hi) and the recent date change of Sports Day had made his birthday present one day late. While he was flustered and frustrated by his mistake, Eri decides that she still wants it because she could tell that Kogoro deeply cares for her. However, she opens the package and finds out that Kogoro had, due to his carelessness, given her a Buddhist rosary (nenju) that he had bought for the owner of Poirot, while Eri's birthday present was lying in his desk drawer all along.

[[Tooru Amuro]] becomes Kogoro's apprentice.

== Relationships analysis ==
===Family & Friends===
====Eri Kisaki====
Eri Kisaki is Kogoro's wife, who has been living separately from him for the last ten years. A primary reason that they have not yet gotten back together is because of Mouri's constant flirting with other women. It is shown that Eri still cares for him, even naming her cat 'Goro', which is taken from Kogoro. She is also annoyed by his frequent alcoholic indulgences. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still appears to have feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet, though she still has feelings for him as well.

====Ran Mouri====
Kogoro has raised his daughter Ran ever since he and Eri separated. She often has to look after her father because of his drinking and gambling habits. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually end in failure. Kogoro is very protective of Ran. There are many times when Kogoro shows concern for his daughter's safety, often getting serious when Ran is in trouble. He is concerned about Ran's relationship with Shinichi, as well.

====Conan Edogawa====
Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times, but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan.

====Yoko Okino====
Yoko is Kogoro's idol. He always watches her television appearances and admires her. Yoko sometimes invites Kogoro to host a show or appear on commercials, which helps to spread his fame as a detective.

====Shinichi Kudo====
They are both detectives, but due to Shinichi being the better detective, Mouri is constantly complaining about how he never gets any work because of the 'detective brat' taking all of the cases. He is also against his daughter being with Shinichi so much, likely due to his own rocky marriage with his childhood friend.

====Tooru Amuro====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|Amuro wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]][[Tooru Amuro]] became Kogoro's apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case in exchange for a large fee every time Kogoro brought him on a case. Amuro tends to act ingratiating whenever Kogoro Mouri is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Amuro's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Amuro flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the Black Organization, Amuro doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Amuro is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Amuro is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

===Law Enforcement===

====Juzo Megure====
Kogoro used to work with [[Juzo Megure]] when he was still part of the police force. Megure thought that Kogoro was incompetent as a police detective. Their relationship has dramatically improved since Conan began using Kogoro as a mouthpiece for his deductions. Juzo hates that the police have to rely on an outside detective to solve cases, yet he is also very grateful that Kogoro wraps up difficult cases that the police could have mishandled.

Kogoro is familiar with but usually respectful of Megure at all times. Megure, who has a bit of a love hate relationship with Mouri, tends to be exasperated around Kogoro, especially when Kogoro appears in middle of a case or while Kogoro is awake and making his usual bad deductions. Megure likes the "Sleeping Kogoro" persona much more. Megure has noted that Kogoro shows up unnaturally frequently at the scenes of murders, leading to him jokingly calling Kogoro a harbinger of bad luck or a "death god".

==== Inspector Yuminaga ====
Kogoro Mouri briefly was the subordinate of [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division. Kogoro's nickname for Yuminaga was "fiery old fossil". Yuminaga noted that Kogoro would always jump to the conclusion that every fire was an arson.

== Name origin ==
The name "Kogoro Mouri" came from two mystery-related sources. "Kogoro" came from "[[Kogoro Akechi]]", the detective created by [[Edogawa Rampo]], while Mouri came from [[Maurice Leblanc|'''Mauri'''ce Leblanc]]. Coincidentally, his drama actor, [[Takanori Jinnai]], has played Kogoro Akechi in many TV movies. The kanji for "Mouri" (毛利) comes from daimyo [[wikipedia:Mōri Motonari|Mouri Motonari]]. Coincidentally, Mouri is also a conjugation of 'mourir', the French word for 'to die'.

{{nihongo|'''Kogoro Mouri'''|毛利小五郎|''Mōri Kogorō''}} is one of the main characters of the [[manga]] and [[anime]]. He is a private detective and the father of [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Young Kogoro in school]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]], [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and the actress Ruri Ujo.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the Judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

Some time after graduating, Kogoro became a police officer. He worked in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Division One with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], but while an excellent marksman he was not a particularly good investigator. He also worked for some time under [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division as well. While Movie 2 strongly suggests that Kogoro left the police force because of the incident where he gave his wife, [[Eri Kisaki]], a bullet graze on the leg to save her from a hostage situation, his reasons for leaving the force have not been confirmed in the manga. <ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> Around the time Kogoro left the police force, Eri also moved out, though they have never officially divorced despite ten years having passed.<ref name="m2" /> Their daughter, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], keeps trying to get them back together, but she has yet to succeed. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still has feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet,<ref>[[Volume 17]]</ref> though she still has feelings for him as well. These are expressed mainly through jealousy when Kogoro's attention is caught by other attractive women in the vicinity, which occurs on a regular basis.

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi to move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume_4#File_032_-_The_Pen_That_Cannot_Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouth-piece by drawing Kogoro's attentions to important clues he has uncovered.

In the Japanese version, due to his name Kogoro Mouri he is often mistaken for the famous astronaut [[wikipedia:Mamoru Mohri|Mamoru Mohri]] when he introduces himself, because they both are in the news frequently, of Japanese decent, and have the same last name. In the English version, when Kogoro introduces himself he is often mistaken for a famous astronaut as well, possibly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Moore Patrick Moore].

In the US version, Kogoro Mouri says that he is forty-three, as opposed to being thirty-eight in the Japanese version. It is unknown if Eri's age remains the same, since they attended school together. If not, if it will affect the ''Princess Pageant'' storyline that occurred twenty years ago, making her in her twenties when she participated instead of a teenager.

==Personality==
[[File:Kogoro's personality.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Kogoro in the morning.]]
[[Image:Kogoro and Yoko Okino.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kogoro showboating in front of [[Yoko Okino]].]]
[[File:701_5.png|thumb|250px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]

Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his own importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his own clients. On cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor changes and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

Kogoro easily becomes infatuated with beautiful women. His favorite celebrity is pop idol [[Yoko Okino]], and he never misses (or tries not to miss) her television shows.<ref>[[Volume 3#File 025 - The Dream That Will Not Come True|Volume 3, File 25: "The Dream That Will Not Come True"]]</ref><ref>Such behaviors can be seen consistently from [[Volume 1#File 006 - From Third-Rate to Great Detective|Volume 1, File 6: From Third-Rate to Great Detective]] to [[Volume 52#File 541 - Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Volume 52, File 541: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]].</ref> He also keeps a large collection of Yoko related goods and his office and bedroom have Yoko posters. Because of his flirtatious behavior around attractive women, he often embarrasses Ran, and while it is not stated as the reason why Eri left him, it is one of the primary reasons why she hasn't come back.

While never outright called an alcoholic, Kogoro has a tendency to get intoxicated and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi/Conan]] often makes sarcastic remarks about him spending money on alcohol. In the anime, particularly in early episodes, his office is littered with empty beer cans,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> and he keeps a well-stocked liquor shelf. Kogoro is also a heavy smoker, and is usually seen with a cigarette in his mouth. Other hobbies include watching his favorite idol star, [[Yoko Okino]], betting on horse races, playing mahjong (which he tends to lose) and playing or watching baseball (he even plays in his neighborhood's team).

Kogoro suffers from a mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is.
{{clear}}

== Appearance ==
Kogoro is a fairly tall and fit man (especially for the amount of beer he drinks). He has high cheekbones, a short mustache, and short black hair. His hair is constantly slicked back with two loose locks hanging across his forehead. Ten years ago, when Kogoro was still on the police force, he was clean shaven.<ref>Manga Volume 55, File 7, page 6: "Dawn"</ref> While on cases Kogoro usually wears a muted blue or grey suit and necktie, and just a collared shirt when being more casual. If he has been drinking heavily, he often ties his necktie around his forehead like a bandana. He seems to be reasonably fit, as he is capable of doing an [[#Judo|Ippon seoi-nage]]. Kogoro is right handed.<ref>Manga Volume 51, File 8, page 3: "Goroo is Goro?!" Kogoro writing with his right hand</ref> Kogoro also smokes, although over the course of Detective Conan's run he has gradually been depicted smoking less often.

== Abilities ==
=== Detective skills ===
:''See also: [[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]'' 
Throughout most of the series, Kogoro is depicted as a fairly incompetent (or just plain lazy) detective, often missing clues and jumping to the wrong conclusions, though several of these conclusions are shared by other people on the scene. However, Kogoro does follow the proper police procedures, asks questions, and (with a little help from Conan) follows leads quite well. Despite his ineptness, he had been a police officer under [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and in also the arson department ten years prior to the start of the series<ref name="m2" /> He is shown to have left the police force after events addressed in the second movie, ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]''.<ref name="m2" />[[File:Kogoro is stunned.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Kogoro's characteristic strange expression when Conan uses the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]]]]

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume_4#File_032_-_The_Pen_That_Cannot_Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquillizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorou}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

In several stories, Kogoro demonstrates the ability to solve crimes without (or with little) help from Conan, especially when people he knows or cares about are involved; it appears that, while he can connect the dots just fine, he can't actually find them as quickly as Conan does. The first of these events takes place during a trip to a hot spring, where one of his old college friends is murdered. Kogoro is actually so disturbed and determined to find the killer on his own that Conan cannot bring himself to drug him, limiting himself to surreptitiously drawing attention to the necessary clues.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 084 - Kogoro's Class Reunion|Volume 9, Files 84-86: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> Despite his frequent moronic analyses, Kogoro is actually pretty smart when he applies himself. He is even able to completely solve a crime on his own in the ninth movie, ''[[Strategy Above the Depths]]'', due to the fact that the culprit Minako resembles Eri, and Conan applauds him mentally for his success. (For a more detailed list of the cases he has—more or less—solved on his own, see '''''[[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]''''').

=== Judo ===
Kogoro is an expert in Judo. He was on the Judo team while he was at Beika University. Although he was the strongest on the team and can and still does toss large men with ease, he lost all the time at tournaments because he got excited and his strength was used against him. His trademark maneuver is the [http://www.judoinfo.com/images/animations/blue/ipponseoi.htm Ippon seoi-nage] (one-arm shoulder throw), which he often uses to incapacitate escaping suspects. He appears to also be a capable teacher in the art, having taught both Eri and Ran.

=== Shooting ===
In the non-[[canon]] [[Movie 2]], Kogoro was an excellent shot with a handgun, being able to hit targets at great distance with an impressive level of accuracy.
{{clearleft}}

== Appellations ==
Kogoro earned the nickname {{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}} because of his trademark technique of solving cases while looking like he is asleep. Many characters unfamiliar with him call him by this nickname when they realize who he is.

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|File 2-5]]; Anime: [[Episode 2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|220px|thumb|right|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so however, as they are on a highway.

When the three arrive at the Tani household, Kogoro questions some of the household members about the details of the kidnapping. However, Conan’s continuous interference gets on his nerves, even to the point that he wants to “kill” the boy after solving the case.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 3, Page 10]]. However, it was most likely just an exaggerated type of expression rather than his true desire of killing Conan.</ref> Later, with help from Conan’s hints, Kogoro is able to come to the conclusion that the house butler is behind the kidnapping. However, Akiko Tani has already been abducted in truth by someone else. After the case is over, it is revealed that the first kidnapping was just a set-up by the girl with the help from the butler, while the second one was by mere chance. Kogoro then laughs in satisfaction and takes all the credits for himself while Conan is actually the one to release the dog and locate Akiko. At the end, Kogoro finally accepts Conan and adopts him, feeling that with the boy around, “he will solve the cases smoothly as silk”.<ref>[[Volume 1| Volume 1, File 5, Page 16]]</ref> With this statement, Kogoro is, ironically, correct.

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|File 6-9]]; Anime: [[Episode 3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, in order to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

Busying enjoying one of [[Yoko Okino]]’s shows, Kogoro tells a new client to come back the next day. However, after discovering that his client is none other than Yoko herself, he rushes to his room and cleans up into an impeccable suit. Yoko explains she is being stalked, and agreed to investigate her apartment secretly (after asking for her personal information and an autograph). However, to everyone's shock, when they arrive at the apartment there is a dead body inside. Kogoro orders them to call the Police and is furious when Yoko’s manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, tries to dissuade him in order to protect Yoko from the media. When Inspector [[Megure]] arrives, he gets depressed about his old subordinate’s appearance, thinking of him as the one who always makes situation turns into a “nightmare”.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 7, Page 5]]</ref>

Conan's investigations once again annoy Kogoro while Kogoro tries to defend Yoko despite the apparent evidence that she committed the murder. He repeatedly accuses Eiichi of being the murderer, as he has a copied key, though there's no proof of either person's guilt or innocence. He switches suspicions to fellow idol Yuko Ikezawa after Yuko's earring is discovered in the apartment. When Yuko is trapped into admitting she was the the "stalker" but still denies being the murderer, he switches back to accusing Eiichi. Realizing Kogoro’s mistake, Conan kicks an ash-tray at his head, knocking him unconscious. He uses the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] that [[Agasa]] has given to him earlier to imitate Kogoro’s voice, and points out that the case is in fact a suicide. Kogoro wakes up after the case is solved when the cigarette in his hand starts to burn his fingers. From then on, Conan has used Kogoro as a puppet mouthpiece for solving cases, with the secondary purpose of turning the man into a famous detective.

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|File 10-12]]; Anime: [[Episode 38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|220px|right|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way in order to make people clearly see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the previous cases. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

=== Masami Hirota Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|File 13-16]]; Anime: [[Episode 128]])===
This is Kogoro's first direct encounter with a member from the [[Black Organization]], though he is unaware of it at the time.

=== Museum Owner Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 4|File 30-32]]; Anime: [[Episode 8]]) ===
This case marks Kogoro Mouri's first fame as a private detective.

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|220px|thumb|left|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit, because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

With this piece of evidence and some further discoveries, Kogoro and the police accuse Kubota of being the culprit. However, Conan is suspicious of the simplicity and of Manaka's behavior on the video while writing the note. Conan realizes that Kubota was framed by someone with a great love of art who could order Kubota into doing a job alone: the museum curator, Ochiai. Ochiai prepared the note beforehand and gave Manaka a pen without ink. Conan tricks Ochiai into revealing that he switched the pen found with Manaka with the one in his pocket, and Ochiai confesses to the crime. At the end of the case, Kogoro is shown reading a newspaper article that features him. He is proud of himself for "solving" the murder case, and is happy that he has become an "instant celebrity".

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|File 84-86]]; Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|Episode 27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|220px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|220px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role in investigating her death before the polive arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago, when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn mark around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then comes to the conclusion that his friend was actually murdered.

Suspecting that Jun Omura is hiding something, Kogoro interrogates him and learns that he saw Yumi after 5 PM, when she was supposed to have died. Even though on the outside, Kogoro keeps saying that the killer was some intruder, deep inside he knows for sure that the culprit must have been among his best friends, since outsiders wouldn't bother faking the crime scene. When being questioned by Conan, Kogoro angrily punches at a house-stake, yelling that he will not forgive the culprit, and determines to "expose them with no question, no matter what".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 85]]. In the anime version, he punched the wall.</ref>

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|220px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time, and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's helps, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was actually killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who the real demon is. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is actually the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

The case ends with Kogoro staring sadly out of the window because of his friends' story, but his "spirit" immediately revives after seeing a girl's pink underwear.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 18]]</ref>


=== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11|File 102-104]]; Anime: [[Episode 31]]) ===
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]] for the second time in this case.

Kogoro is invited to attend a live television show as a guest star. However, a murder occurs at the studio. After finding out all the evidence, Conan lures Kogoro to a separate room with the lie that [[Yoko Okino]] is in there. Just as usual, he decides to tranquilize Kogoro and use the man to solve the case. When Kogoro wakes up, he begins to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He is also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tries to pull him outside, he always falls asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabs the boy's suit jacket and wants to "clear things up". Luckily for Conan, Yoko Okino appears for real and Kogoro completely loses his suspicions.

=== Game Convention Case (Manga: [[Volume 12|File 114-116]]; Anime: [[Episode 54]])===
Kogoro's fame has reached the point that a video game was developed with him as the main character. Though Conan encounters someone from the [[Black Organization]], Kogoro is only involved with investigating the man's death.



=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|File 163-165]]; Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was actually set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped to flirt with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro actually went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|220px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still hasn’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring in order to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

=== Murderer Kogoro Mouri Case (Manga: [[Volume 27|File 264-266]]; Anime: [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro at the bar.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Kogoro is drunken at the bar.]]
Kogoro encounters his wife Eri once again at a vacation spot, where he eventually becomes the prime suspect in the murder of her colleague and rival, Ritsuko Usui.

The events take place when Kogoro, along with Ran and Conan, unexpectedly find Eri shopping with a fellow lawyer, Norifumi Saku. He suspects that his wife is going out with Saku, not knowing that she's actually trying to pick a present for himself as the next day will be their wedding anniversary. They agree to have a drink together with Eri's other acquainted lawyers, but the detective's old bad habits while drunk once again enrages her.

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|220px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

Much to everyone's surprise, Eri refuses to defend her husband in court, while openly declaring her accusation of Kogoro. However, her real intention is to remain at the crime scene in order to find a way to prove his innocence, but Kogoro misunderstands this and angrily walks away after replying with some sarcastic comments.

Eri, with Conan's help, eventually manages to unmask the true murderer and clear Kogoro's name. The next day morning, after learning of his wife's deeds, Kogoro walks to where Eri is sitting and apologizes to her. He also sincerely asks her to come back with him, only to find out that she's just listening to Ran's MD without actually hearing anything that he said. Kogoro gets angry at Eri again as she leaves, not knowing that she has recorded all of his nice words into the disk.

Kogoro buys an expensive necklace as a birthday present to Eri Kisaki without telling Ran or Conan beforehand. Ran and Conan find out about this when they discover the receipt in Kogoro's wallet. Later on, Ran manages to win them a family trip to Shizuoka with Kogoro's lottery ticket and invites Eri to a birthday dinner with Kogoro, Ran and Conan.

The dinner doesn't go as well as planned. Kogoro behaves in his usual casual manner, acting indifferent to Eri's presence and seemingly having no intention of giving Eri the necklace. Later that night, a murder occurs in Eri's hotel room. Kogoro immediately devotes himself to solving the case and after receiving hints from Conan, and with both Conan and Eri's help with his deduction, uncovers the murderer's identity.

After the case is closed, Kogoro steps up to give Eri the present. It turns out that Kogoro had remembered Eri's birthday as Sports Day (taiiku no hi) and the recent date change of Sports Day had made his birthday present one day late. While he was flustered and frustrated by his mistake, Eri decides that she still wants it because she could tell that Kogoro deeply cares for her. However, she opens the package and finds out that Kogoro had, due to his carelessness, given her a Buddhist rosary (nenju) that he had bought for the owner of Poirot, while Eri's birthday present was lying in his desk drawer all along.

[[Tooru Amuro]] becomes Kogoro's apprentice.

== Relationships analysis ==
===Family & Friends===
====Eri Kisaki====
Eri Kisaki is Kogoro's wife, who has been living separately from him for the last ten years. A primary reason that they have not yet gotten back together is because of Mouri's constant flirting with other women. It is shown that Eri still cares for him, even naming her cat 'Goro', which is taken from Kogoro. She is also annoyed by his frequent alcoholic indulgences. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still appears to have feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet, though she still has feelings for him as well.

====Ran Mouri====
Kogoro has raised his daughter Ran ever since he and Eri separated. She often has to look after her father because of his drinking and gambling habits. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually end in failure. Kogoro is very protective of Ran. There are many times when Kogoro shows concern for his daughter's safety, often getting serious when Ran is in trouble. He is concerned about Ran's relationship with Shinichi, as well.

====Conan Edogawa====
Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times, but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan.

====Yoko Okino====
Yoko is Kogoro's idol. He always watches her television appearances and admires her. Yoko sometimes invites Kogoro to host a show or appear on commercials, which helps to spread his fame as a detective.

====Shinichi Kudo====
They are both detectives, but due to Shinichi being the better detective, Mouri is constantly complaining about how he never gets any work because of the 'detective brat' taking all of the cases. He is also against his daughter being with Shinichi so much, likely due to his own rocky marriage with his childhood friend.

====Tooru Amuro====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|Amuro wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]][[Tooru Amuro]] became Kogoro's apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case in exchange for a large fee every time Kogoro brought him on a case. Amuro tends to act ingratiating whenever Kogoro Mouri is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Amuro's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Amuro flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the Black Organization, Amuro doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Amuro is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Amuro is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

===Law Enforcement===

====Juzo Megure====
Kogoro used to work with [[Juzo Megure]] when he was still part of the police force. Megure thought that Kogoro was incompetent as a police detective. Their relationship has dramatically improved since Conan began using Kogoro as a mouthpiece for his deductions. Juzo hates that the police have to rely on an outside detective to solve cases, yet he is also very grateful that Kogoro wraps up difficult cases that the police could have mishandled.

Kogoro is familiar with but usually respectful of Megure at all times. Megure, who has a bit of a love hate relationship with Mouri, tends to be exasperated around Kogoro, especially when Kogoro appears in middle of a case or while Kogoro is awake and making his usual bad deductions. Megure likes the "Sleeping Kogoro" persona much more. Megure has noted that Kogoro shows up unnaturally frequently at the scenes of murders, leading to him jokingly calling Kogoro a harbinger of bad luck or a "death god".

==== Inspector Yuminaga ====
Kogoro Mouri briefly was the subordinate of [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division. Kogoro's nickname for Yuminaga was "fiery old fossil". Yuminaga noted that Kogoro would always jump to the conclusion that every fire was an arson.

== Name origin ==
The name "Kogoro Mouri" came from two mystery-related sources. "Kogoro" came from "[[Kogoro Akechi]]", the detective created by [[Edogawa Rampo]], while Mouri came from [[Maurice Leblanc|'''Mauri'''ce Leblanc]]. Coincidentally, his drama actor, [[Takanori Jinnai]], has played Kogoro Akechi in many TV movies. The kanji for "Mouri" (毛利) comes from daimyo [[wikipedia:Mōri Motonari|Mouri Motonari]]. Coincidentally, Mouri is also a conjugation of 'mourir', the French word for 'to die'.

Shuichi Akai timeline

2014-07-05T22:49:24Z

Catstorm: present tense ftw

'''{{nihongo|[[Shuichi Akai]]|赤井秀一|Akai Shūichi}}''' is an [[FBI]] agent and a major figure in the battle against the [[Black Organization]]. He once assumed the identity of '''{{nihongo|Dai Moroboshi|諸星大|Moroboshi Dai}}''' and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename '''{{nihongo|Rye|ライ}}'''. During this time he made enemies with [[Gin]] and [[Bourbon]] and became romantically involved with [[Akemi Miyano]]. Since his exit from the Black Organization, he has become one of their most feared enemies, and has been a key player in several FBI clashes with the Organization. More recently, he faked his own death in order to keep the CIA infiltrator [[Hidemi Hondou]] from being uncovered as a spy within the Organization. With [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s disguise help, he became '''[[Subaru Okiya]]''', a friendly engineering graduate student. As Subaru Okiya, he sought to protect [[Ai Haibara]] from the Black Organization and the new threat from Bourbon in accordance with the promise he made with Akemi. He also helped Conan with assorted cases, and kept an eye on his FBI comrades.

==History==
Five years prior to the current time-line, [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the [[Black Organization]] using the alias Dai Moroboshi as a mole and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, in order to meet [[Shiho Miyano]] and use her influence to get into the Black Organization.<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> Although at first he was simply using Akemi as a tool, they both fell in love with each other. Akai distinguished himself as an agent and two years prior to the current time-line received the codename Rye and was called to work under executive agent [[Gin]]. The FBI laid a trap hoping to capture Gin at a warehouse where the meeting was supposed to take place,<ref name=599p9/> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

After the recent death of his lover [[Akemi Miyano]], he cut his hair and returned to Japan to help with the FBI mission to capture [[Vermouth]] and settle his personal score with [[Gin]].

== Shuichi Akai ==
[[File:Shuichi Akai.jpg|left]]Shuichi Akai first appeared in conjunction with the [[FBI]]'s plan to capture Vermouth who had disguised as Teitan nurse [[Tomoaki Araide]]. {{clear}}

=== Bus Jack (Manga: [[Volume_29#Bus_Hijacking_Case|287-289]], Anime: [[The Mysterious Passenger|230-231]]) ===
[[File:Akai First Appearance.PNG|thumb|right|125px|Akai's first appearance on the bus]]
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], and the [[Detective Boys]] board a bus headed to a ski resort. Akai gets on the bus wearing a face mask in order to tail [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Vermouth]] who is disguised as Dr. [[Tomoaki Araide]]. The bus is hijacked by robbers demanding their boss be freed from prison and Conan discovers they must have an accomplice in the back row where Shuichi Akai is sitting. Akai becomes a suspect. After the boss is freed, the robbers call Akai and Araide up to the front to put on the hijackers' ski jackets. Conan ruins the hijackers' plans by directing the bus driver to slam on the brakes, sending the hijackers crashing to the floor. Akai keeps his footing and goes to attack one of the hijackers but is confused when the robber faceplants before he could strike: Conan's tranquilizer dart got him first. The police move in to apprehend the hijackers and Akai watches as Araide accosts Conan for wanting to leave before having the gash on his arm tended. Before moving out, Akai records a message saying he couldn't find Vermouth's target, [[Shiho Miyano]].<ref>It is clear Akai is looking for Shiho Miyano, Vermouth's target, because the FBI already know Araide is Vermouth at this point in time and don't need to look for her.</ref>

=== James Black Kidnapping (Manga: [[Volume_32#Kidnapped_Tourist_Case|325-327]], Anime: [[The Man from Chicago|258-259]]) ===
[[File:Akai's happy face.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Akai leers at the kidnappers.]]
[[James Black]] plans to meet with Akai in a stadium lobby after the Paul & Annie animal circus show. He was unable to meet with Akai at first because he was accosted by reporters thinking he was the show's wealthy sponsor and dragged away from them by the Detective Boys. Akai and James probably haven't met in a while because James doesn't know Akai cut his previously waist length hair. James is then mistakenly kidnapped by criminals who plan to ransom him. Akai, looking for James Black, drives past the Detective Boys. As a former member of the Black Organization, Akai's gaze triggers Haibara's senses, and she whips around asking if Conan saw who was driving the Chevrolet truck.

Somehow, Akai figures out where James is and catches up to the kidnappers' fake police car and begins following it. Akai quickly zooms ahead when Conan and the police arrange for an army of police cars to box in the kidnappers' car to force it to stop. Akai drives by Agasa's car and looks in, and Conan shields Haibara from his view. In the confusion of the aftermath, James leaves with Akai before he could be questioned by the police. James retells the events of the kidnapping and asks if Akai brought him to Japan to "make (Akai's) lover come back to (Akai)" Akai affirms this and says that he wants "his lover (koibito) to regret they ever left me with tears of blood."<ref name=327p18>Manga Volume 32, File 10, page 18: "A Stupid Plan"</ref>. Akai's "lover" is a reference to the ironic codename he gave Gin: "koibito" meaning lover. He later makes Gin cry the foretold tears of blood when Akai's bullet grazes Gin's cheek in the events of "Black Impact".

=== Conan's suspicion and Ran's memory ===
Conan suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the director's morning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. After the bus jack, [[Haibara]] tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is Shuichi Akai whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name=291p11>Manga Volume 29, File 7, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"</ref> Conan recognizes Akai in the James Black kidnapping case.<ref name=P&A>Manga Volume 32, File 9-11: "The Man from Chicago"</ref> Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of Akai investigating them when one of the suspects says he saw someone wearing a black beanie (really [[Makoto]]).<ref name=332p15>Manga Volume 33, File 4, Page 15: "The Bloody Valentine 2"</ref>

Ran notices Akai leave the restaurant where [[Miwako Sato]] was having her [[Wikipedia:Miai|miai]] with officer [[Shiratori]]. Akai had come to check on on Dr. Araide who is really Vermouth in disguise. Ran realizes she met him somewhere once before, but she cannot remember where.<ref name=329p14>Manga Volume 33, File 1, page 14: "Satou's Odds"</ref> Later, at a chocolate-making cottage, one of the suspects says he shot at a tall man wearing a black beanie thinking he was a bear.

==== The Life of a Flower (Manga: [[Volume_33#Missing_Watch_Case|335-337]], Anime: [[The Forgotten Memento from the Crime|269-270]]) ====
[[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name=336p9>Manga Volume 33, File 8, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"</ref> Conan begins to wonder who the target is and first suspects Akai may be behind the incident because of the timing. He wonders if Akai is a Black Organization member. He tries calling the Mouri Detective Agency, but nobody picks up. When Conan rushes back, he finds the items in the kitchen left unsupervised and the television on. Just when Conan begins to fear that Akai has taken care of Ran and Kogoro, he is relieved to find out that Ran had only gone out to buy meat. He again tries to ask Ran whether she she knows Akai, but changes his mind by shifting his sentence, thinking there is no way Ran would know a guy like Akai. Unknown to Conan, Akai is staking out the Mouri Detective Agency.<ref name=337p18>Manga Volume 33, File 9, Page 18: "Life of a Flower"</ref>

=== The Rotten Apple Case (Manga: [[Volume_34#Golden_Apple_Case|350]]-[[Volume_35#Golden_Apple_Case|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]]) ===
[[Image:Shuuichi_Akai_long_hair.jpg|thumb|right|210|Shuichi Akai in New York with his longer hair.]] One year prior to the current timeline, Shinichi, Ran, [[Yukiko]], Akai, and Vermouth are in America. After leaving Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran at the theater, Sharon Vineyard, aka, Vermouth, disguises as a silver haired serial killer to lure out Shuichi Akai and kill him. Vermouth underestimates Akai and he shoots her in the side. Vermouth escapes, but Akai continues to look for her. During the search, Akai encounters a crying Ran who is waiting in the rain by a taxi for Shinichi to return. The taxi driver and Ran both initially mistake Akai for the serial killer, and the taxi drives off leaving Ran behind. Akai asks Ran if she saw a man with long silver hair. One of Akai's colleagues comes up to ask Akai if he found the serial killer and Ran sees the FBI logo on his jacket. Akai grabs her elbow to take her from the area, but she resists because Shinichi is still around. Akai harshly orders Ran to leave the area as it is dangerous.<ref>Manga Chapter 354: Golden Apple 5</ref>

[[File:Ran_and_Akai_meet.jpg|thumb|right|Ran and Akai meet coincidentally in the street.]]Conan and Ran are walking home from the Itakura case. Ran talks to Conan about how it is hard waiting for Shinichi to return and begins to cry. They approach a phone booth and Akai steps out. Ran and Akai recognize one another.
{{Cquote|Akai: You are crying again... You are always crying. Ran: Is it wrong? Akai: No. ... I was just remembering. You remind me of a woman... One who was always crying in the dark trying to sound casual, a stupid woman.|The conversation between Akai and Ran at the phonebooth|Manga Chapter 380: "White Snow, Black Shadow"}}
Conan is surprised Ran and Akai seem to know each other and asks Ran who Akai is. Ran replies with the story of her meeting with Akai in New York. She mentions she saw him with a man with in an FBI jacket. Akai has walked away in the meanwhile and Conan loses sight of him. Conan is surprised at this new information and wonders what the FBI could be doing in Japan. He also considers the possibility that Shuichi Akai is a Black Organization spy in the FBI and killed the serial killer in New York and might be involved with Haibara's past.

=== Seeing Haibara and tailing the Detective Boys ===
==== Contact with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume_38#Footsteps_of_Darkness|383]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|311]]) ====
Haibara finds Conan passed out in a locker at Kenbashi Station. As they leave, Akai sees Haibara close up and immediately recognizes her. Akai's focus caused Haibara to sense his presence and she spins around in fear, but he has already retreated and she doesn't catch sight of him.

==== Following Yukiko (Manga: [[Volume_41#Dark_and_Cluttered_Room_Case|417-419]], Anime [[Secret of the Tohto Film Development Studio|335-336]]) ====
Shuichi Akai, suspicious that Haibara is Shiho, asks two subordinates to follow [[Yukiko]] who is driving the Detective Boys to a film studio to see a preview showing of [[Kamen Yaiba]]. The two people take several pictures, one of which Akai keeps in his truck after this. Conan and Yukiko notice the two are following. They continue to wait in the film developer's parking lot until Takagi asks them if they have been drinking at Conan's request. They report to Akai that they are unable to follow any more. Akai looks at the newly developed pictures they gave to him and he thinks Haibara's resemblance to Shiho Miyano is too similar to ignore.

==== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume_41#Four_Porsches_Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ====
While driving, Akai sees Conan on TV broadcast waiting in line to get porridge. He quickly heads towards the direction of the shopping center where Conan is. When he arrives, a murder had already been committed in the underground parking lot and the police have arrived. Agasa calls Araide to pick up Haibara, and Akai overhears the conversation through the bugs planted in Araide's office. He follows Jodie and Araide to Agasa's house and waits out front listening in to the bugs Jodie just planted at Agasa's.

=== Showdown with Vermouth (Manga: [[Volume_42#Halloween_Party_Case|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===
[[File:Akai with shotgun.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Akai shoots Vermouth to protect himself and Jodie]]
Conan and Jodie confront Vermouth and reveal her disguise. During the confrontation, Jodie is shot by [[Calvados]], a sniper who was hidden on some shipping crates. Calvados also attempts to shoot Ran who rushed to Haibara in order to shield her from the gunfire. Akai, unseen, sneaks from behind and disables Calvados, silently breaking both his legs and taking his rifle, shotgun, and three pistols. Akai walks around the shipping crates towards Jodie and Vermouth's location. Vermouth mistakes the incoming footsteps for Calvados and orders him to kill Jodie. Vermouth is shocked when it is Akai who walks into view. Akai then begins provoking Vermouth:
{{Cquote|Akai: Well, Calvados is a distilled liquor of apples... where he goes perfectly for the accomplice of the rotten apple. Vermouth: Rotten apple? Akai: That's our codename for you. The famous actress who bathed in the limelight was the golden apple of the stage. Your beauty is the same as before but... inside your heart has become a wilted rotten apple|Akai insulting Vermouth|Manga Volume 42, File 10 , pg 10}}

Provoked by his remark, Vermouth attempts to shoot him, but Akai fires the shotgun first into her flak jacket, breaking several of her ribs and tearing Vermouth's face slightly which proves that she isn't wearing a mask. To escape, Vermouth grabs the unconscious Conan as a hostage and roars away in Jodie's car. To prevent them from following, she aims with the side mirror and shoots Araide's car's gas tank, causing it to explode
{{Cquote|Akai: To shoot the gasoline tank using the mirror and with that body is... not bad. Jodie: What are you being impressed for!? She just got away with a hostage!|Jodie and Akai's conversation about Vermouth's getaway with [[Conan]] as a hostage|Manga Volume 42 , File 10 , pg 12}}
Akai comments that they at least have her accomplice Calvados, but at that moment, Calvados commits suicide with a pocket pistol that Akai overlooked. Akai hears the police sirens and tells Jodie to make up a story about randomly getting involved in a kidnapping case. Akai's parting words to Jodie are that he still isn't ready to face Haibara, likely referring to his use of Haibara's sister, [[Akemi Miyano]], to infiltrate the Black Organization which resulted in her being killed when they uncovered that he was a spy.

=== Black Impact (Manga: [[Volume_48#Black_Organization_vs._FBI|499]]-[[Volume_49#Black_Organization_vs_FBI|504]], Anime: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|425]]) ===
[[Image:Akai sniping.jpg|thumb|left|Akai with a sniper rifle aiming at the Black Organization 700 yards away.]]
Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan help newscaster [[Rena Mizunashi]] with a door bell prank case. In order to catch the prankster, Conan sticks a bug and microphone wrapped in gum outside the door. The case is solved, but Conan forgets the bug and it gets stuck on Rena's shoe. Unfortunately Conan discovers Rena is a member of the Black Organization, [[Kir]], and she is participating in an [[Black Organization#Domon Yasudera|assassination mission]]. Conan has to retrieve the tracker before the Black Organization notices and suspects that Kogoro planted it. Jodie Starling contacts Akai and tells him about the predicament, but doesn't say what he will do to help. James Black comments that Akai was always the reticent type, but has closed up even more since the death of his girlfriend (later revealed to be [[Akemi Miyano]]).

After hearing a lot of static on their radios, Gin looks for the cause of the interference and finds Conan's tracker on Kir's shoe which had been left in his car when she changed clothes. With the boss's approval, Gin abandons the original assassination plans and heads towards the Mouri Detective Agency to kill Kogoro. Conan stops Kogoro from being assassinated, but Gin still has Conan's tracker which has his fingerprints on it. As Gin holds it up for a closer look, it is shot out from between his fingers by Akai who had set up with a sniper rifle on a building 700 yards away.
[[Image:Gin sniped.jpg|thumb|right|Gin is shot by Akai.]]
Gin, perhaps anticipating who would be responsible, grabs Korn's rifle and uses it to locate Shuichi Akai. At this time, Akai fires a bullet that passes through Gin's scope and grazes his left cheek causing it to bleed. At this time Akai says "we finally meet, my lovely, lovely koibito-san".<ref name=504p14>Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 14: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref> Gosho Aoyama uses a Japanese literary device to give the word "koibito" a double meaning. Japanese in Detective Conan includes the pronunciation, called "[[wiki:furigana|furigana]]", in [[wiki:hiragana|hiragana]] next to the [[wiki:kanji|kanji]]. Normally the furigana matches the word in the kanji; however, Gosho Aoyama used the kanji for "old enemy" (宿敵), but the furigana for "koibito" (こいびと), giving Akai's word a double meaning. The true meaning of what Akai meant is "old enemy", but what he said out loud was the furigana "koibito". Akai had ironically nicknamed Gin "loved one" despite thinking of him as his arch enemy. By grazing Gin's cheek, Akai fulfilled his promise he made at the end of the James Black Kidnapping to make his "lover" bleed tears of blood.

Akai then fired twice into Gin's bullet proof vest to encourage him to leave quietly, purposefully avoiding killing Gin although he was capable of finishing him. Akai's stated reason for letting Gin and the rest of the Black Organization members go was to avoid having a gunfight erupt in the middle of Beika city where innocent people might be injured.<ref name=504p17>Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 17: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref> Despite Gin's reservations, Akai also successfully made the Black Organization think that the FBI was behind the tracker, and that Kogoro had been the bait to draw them into Akai's range.

=== Red vs. Black (Manga: [[Volume_57#Fake_Patient_Case|595]]-[[Volume_59#Foreign_Suspect_Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-504]]) ===
Eventually, following the capture of Organization member [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]], Akai was introduced to Conan, and the two worked on a plan to re-introduce Rena, who was in fact a CIA mole, back into the ranks of the Organization. One condition of her reintegration, however, was that she should personally kill Akai, who had been declared the Organization's most dangerous enemy. Mizunashi lured him to an isolated spot for a meeting and shot him at point-blank range before incinerating his truck with a bomb.

==== The Fake Patient (Manga: [[Volume_57#Fake_Patient_Case|595]]-[[Volume_58#Fake_Patient_Case|598]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-497]]) ====
After hearing that [[Eisuke]] has zeroed in on Haido Central Hospital after finding a clue, Conan and Jodie discuss [[Ethan Hondou]]. Jodie says Akai verified Ethan Hondou was a CIA agent. Conan asks Ran more about the clue Eisuke found and discovers that it was someone dialing the [[Anokata|Black Organization's boss's phone number]]. Jodie reports to Akai that a member of the Black Organization has infiltrated the hospital. Akai takes the news in stride and goes to Rena's room. He already suspects Rena is a member of the CIA as well, and wants to use her to gain more leverage against the Organization.

Conan asks one of the nurses about Eisuke and she tells Conan about a different patient, a member of the Black Organization, who had asked about Rena Mizunashi. Akai seems pleased to hear the news, and thinks it is a good opportunity to add a second lead. The FBI gets profiles of three patients most likely to be the Black Organization member and Conan films them. Akai and Conan both correctly deduce the member of the Black Organization hiding in the hospital is [[Kusuda Rikumichi]]. The FBI watch Kusuda, but get caught and he threatens to blow up a bomb. Kusuda escapes in a car with Akai and Conan in hot pursuit. After realizing it is Akai who is chasing him, Kusuda commits suicide. Akai knows that now Kusuda's reports have stopped, the Black Organization will know Rena is at the Haido Central Hospital and plan a counter-attack.

==== The Black Organization's counterattack (Manga: [[Volume_58#Kir_Transport_Case|599-605]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|498-503]]) ====
The FBI hold a meeting and decide that they have to move Kir now that the Black Organization knows she is at Haido Central Hospital. Akai proposes that the best idea is to set a trap for the Organization by allowing them to come after Kir and then ambushing them. Akai heads to the roof alone to think of a plan. Conan takes the opportunity to ask James Black about Akai's past. James reveals that Akai wants revenge for his girlfriend who was killed by the Organization. Akai had infiltrated the Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi by dating Miyano Akemi in order to get close to a [[Sherry|high ranking scientist]], feed information to the FBI, and hopefully learn the identity of [[anokata|the boss]].<ref>Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past</ref> Dai earned the codename "Rye" and was called to work for [[Gin]], but the FBI bungled the plan to capture Gin, so Akai was discovered and expelled from the Organization. James Black further explains that the Organization wanted to get rid of Akemi too, but couldn't because her sister was too valuable to them. The Organization came up with a plan to have Akemi perform [[Volume_2#File_013_-_The_Missing_Man|a billion yen bank heist]] as an excuse to kill her when she failed. Contrary to the Org's expectations, Akemi succeeded but was killed by Gin regardless. Akai has kept the last text message from Akemi asking if Akai will date her for real if she leaves the Organization. There is a further P.S. that has not been revealed.

Conan and Akai meet on the roof and exchange plans. Their first move is to get Kir's cooperation. Akai and Conan trick the FBI officers on guard to leave Kir's room which provides an opportunity for Eisuke to sneak in and "wake the sleeping princess". With Eisuke's provocation, Kir stops pretending that she is unconscious. Conan and Akai enter the room, and Akai escorts Eisuke out so that they can convince Kir to return to Organization. Akai and Conan answer Kir's questions about how they found out she was a CIA agent and she fills them in on her past. Kir agrees to their plan to trick the Organization and promises to funnel information back to the FBI as well. Akai calls [[Andre Camel]] to help with their secret plan which requires also fooling the FBI who don't yet know Kir is a CIA agent.

The FBI plans to put Rena in one of three vans and trick the Organization into chasing one of the decoys while the van with Kir in it is driven by Camel back to hospital. Meanwhile, the Organization launches their counterattack. They cause three separate accidents nearby to flood the hospital with people and then give them gifts with small bombs hidden inside. Akai suspects they may be trying to kill Kir by detonating the bombs and collapsing the hospital. Akai and the FBI collect the bombs from the innocent patients, but are startled when the TV starts airing an announcement from Mizunashi Rena in the hospital. Akai and Conan realize the bombs have tracking devices embedded in them, but they aren't fast enough to stop the rest of the FBI agents from going to Kir's room.

With the location of Kir's room exposed, the FBI launch the three van plan without delay. Akai in his Chevrolet follows one of the vans from a distance and he is eventually found by Vermouth who had been assigned by the boss to look for him. Gin correctly deduces which van Kir is in and recaptures her all according to Conan and Akai's plan. The FBI are at first very dismayed they failed, but then Akai explains the plan to them and that they were left out of the loop in order to make the Organization believe they were not set up. Gin, however, is suspicious that Akai didn't interfere more strongly when they recaptured Kir and that Akai may have something else up his sleeve.

==== Death at Raiha Pass (Manga: [[Volume_58#Foreign_Suspect_Case|605-609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|501-504]]) ====
Gin is suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Akai didn't make a strong move. Gin thinks Akai is still hiding something and that doubt is relayed to [[anokata|the boss]] who plans a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. Akai is somewhat amused at the predicament, and Jodie plans to go to Andre Camel and bail him out. As Jodie leaves, Akai calls out to her and says he has a bad feeling about today, and that she should be careful. Jodie notes it is Friday the thirteenth.

The Black Organization takes advantage of the distraction provided by Andre Camel's murder case, and Gin meets with Kir and conveys [[anokata|the boss's]] ultimatum: Kir must kill Akai in order to regain the Organization's trust. Gin explains that Kir will call out Akai with the excuse that she wants to flee the country because the Organization is pressuring her after she was caught by the FBI. Akai will take the bait if Kir says she will give him good information. When she meets with him alone, Kir will kill Akai while wearing a camera and bug. Gin will be watching out of range of Akai's acute sense for traps. With Gin's gun at her back, Kir calls Akai.

At the murder case, Jodie meets up with Camel and their discussion turns to Camel's mistake which caused Akai to be rejected from the Organization two years ago. Camel explains that Akai had just been promoted, and the FBI planned to capture Gin who was set to meet with Akai. The FBI hid in the warehouse waiting for Gin, but instead an old man walked in and sat down. Akai ignored the old man, but Camel came out from hiding and told the old man to leave. The old man turned out to be a member of the Organization, and Gin never showed. This lead to a chain of events leading to Akai's girlfriend [[Miyano Akemi]]'s death almost two years later. Camel, who felt most responsible, felt obligated to take the role of driver for the plan to return Kir.

Meanwhile Akai, sitting in his truck, remembers some of the last moments he had with Akemi. Akai revealed to her that he was an FBI agent. She seemed to already know, prompting Akai to desperately ask her why she didn't get away from him. Akemi's simple tearful reply was, "Can't you tell without asking?" Akai is brought back to present by [[James Black]] telling him that his phone is ringing. Kir is on the other end, and relays Gin's concocted story and asks to meet Akai alone. James's impression is that the meeting with Rena is likely a trap and that Akai shouldn't go. Akai confidently says that he is sure his sixth sense will work and that he will trust Rena to have some way out of the situation. James starts to call Jodie as support but, the confidently grinning Akai stops James from dialing and asks for his trust. The meeting location is set at 19:00 at the seventh left curve of Raiha falls and Akai heads out.

[[Image:Kir_kills_Akai.jpg|thumb|right|200|Kir kills the 'Silver-bullet'.]]
Akai arrives at the meeting place where Kir is waiting from the other side after scouting out ahead. Kir shoots Akai in the lung as Gin and Vodka watch from across the gorge via Kir's collar camera. Blood trickling from his mouth, Akai turns and sees their Porsche and smirks to himself. Kir tells Gin he will die soon from the lung shot, but Gin orders that Kir makes his death certain by shooting Akai in the head. As Kir walks up to him, Akai seems to accept his impending doom with great calm.<ref>Manga Chapters 605-608: Foreign Suspect Case</ref> He calmly remarks that he didn't think that she would go this far, to which she agrees. Kir shoots Akai in the forehead, with blood cascading from both sides of his head. Akai collapses in the front seat of his truck. At that moment the police on the way to an accident begin to approach and Gin orders Kir to place a bomb and blow Akai's truck up with the body. Kir plants the bomb and leaves. It detonates just as the police pass by. The ensuing explosion and fire destroys most of the body but the right hand fingerprints survive.

Jodie and Camel leave the murder case as the police finish wrapping it up return the the hospital where the FBI meet. James announces that Kir set up a meeting alone with Akai and the a news program begins reporting on a truck that exploded with a body inside whose right hand fingerprints remain intact. Jodie wonders if it is Akai, and takes Conan's phone which Akai had touched earlier with his right hand to the police. The fingerprint results are a match, Jodie reports the news to James and then breaks down crying. James remarks that they can't blame Rena Mizunashi for this as she had warned them. He sadly comments that with Akai, they managed to drive a wedge of steel in the Black Organization, but his death was a price far too big.

===== Faked Death =====
{{main|Akai faked his death theory}}
Akai faked his death with Conan and Mizunashi Rena's help. Inconsistent details like disappearing blood trails are evidence Akai's body was tampered with by someone other than Kir, and Conan's reaction to the news of Akai's death is suspiciously subdued. The theory is that Akai's death was faked by using blank cartridges and blood packets with small detonators to simulate gunshots. When Kir moves to the front of Akai's truck to prepare the bomb, it creates a gap of time where Gin and Vodka cannot see Akai's body with Kir's camera. At this time, Akai switches places with [[Rikumichi Kusuda]]'s body which had been dressed up beforehand to look like Akai. Akai escapes the truck before it explodes. Meanwhile Conan's will loan Jodie Starling one of his identical cellphones which has Rikumichi's fingerprints on it. She will think they are Akai's and when she goes to validate the identity of the body with the police, it will match Rikumichi's fingerprints and she will be fooled into thinking Akai died.

After Akai faked his death, he developed a disguised persona with [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s help. As '''[[Subaru Okiya]]''' he sought to protect Haibara from the Black Organization and the new threat from Bourbon in accordance with the promise he made with Akemi. He also helped Conan with assorted cases, and kept an eye on his FBI comrades. {{clear}}

[[Image:Okiya burnt apartment.jpg|thumb|right|Subaru Okiya standing in front of the remains of his burnt apartment talking with [[Inspector Yuminaga]].]]
After school, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] receives a phone call from [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] who tells him that the Black Organization has activated a new member codenamed [[Tooru Amuro|Bourbon]]. Meanwhile, the [[Detective Boys]] receive a request from their classmate, Kaito Suigiura, to investigate the actions of a strange man at his father's apartment building which is close to [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house.<ref>Based on the Japanese address system, the houses are very close. Okiya's previous apartment was at Beika city district 2 #23A. Agasa's address is Beika city district 2 #22. Shinichi's house address is Beika city district 2 21B. Basically, Okiya's apartment is going to be across in the adjacent block of houses across a little street. The Okiya's apt isn't marked on [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/images/8/8d/Conandrillmap.jpg the map of Beika city], but it should be on the same chunk of buildings that Shinichi's and Agasa's house are (i.e. not separated by a major road as that would change the city district number i.e Mouri agency is city district 5).</ref> The next day the Detective Boys find that the apartment has been burned down. Subaru Okiya first appeared as one of the suspects in this arson case. When [[Inspector Yuminaga]] introduces the detective boys to the suspects, Okiya gives [[Ai Haibara]] the chills which she only gets from those who have been in the Black Organization, although she isn't sure who is responsible at the time and the feeling of pressure unexpectedly disappears.

The revelation that Kaito Suigiura's diary describes a suspicious "yellow" tenant who had argued with the landlord the night the apartment was burnt down leads to the police to question the three suspects about their alibis at the time of the arson as well as their favorite color. Subaru Okiya's alibi was that he was driving alone that night long the verdant Teimuzu river to clear his head after submitting a paper to his professor. Although he likes the greenery of plants, Okiya declared that his favorite is black, "because it covers things inside me that I don't want known", although he hates the color for the same reason.

Conan and Subaru Okiya seem to hit it off when Okiya recognizes Conan quote a line from Sir AC Doyle's "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches". After Conan solves the case, Okiya asks to meet Professor Agasa. After introducing himself, Okiya asks Professor Agasa if he could stay for at his house until he finds another place to live, offering to help Agasa with his research in the spare time. Agasa consents, as long as Haibara also agrees, but Haibara strongly refuses. Conan chimes in offering Shinichi's house, saying that Shinichi has gone missing all of a sudden and Conan will tell Shinichi later that Okiya moved in. Conan overrules Haibara's concerns that the Org may find out through Okiya that Shinichi is still alive by simply saying, "A Holmes fan can't be a bad person!" Conan gives Okiya the key along with the request to take care of the place while he (Shinichi) is gone and Okiya agrees.

Okiya secretly watches Conan's plan to trick the culprit into confessing in action.

Ran and Sonoko visit Shinichi's house to clean up unaware that Okiya is living there, and they confront him thinking he is a thief. Okiya fails to explain fast enough and winds up on the receiving end of Ran's karate kick. Conan calls Ran to explain that Okiya has been living in the house after the fire and warns her not to talk about Shinichi in front of him. After the two girls apologize, Okiya correctly deduces they had been to "Welcome Burger" earlier. Okiya makes a strong impression on Sonoko, while Ran thinks "he looks like someone" and she had met him before.

[[Image:Paper airplane okiya.jpg‎|thumb|left|Subaru Okiya figuring out the paper airplane message.]]
Sonoko then concocts a deduction battle between Okiya and Shinichi to see who can solve the mystery of the paper airplane first. Shinichi and Subaru prove to be equally skilled although neither know they are competing against one another. During the detective showdown, Okiya overhears Sonoko talking about Shinichi's deductions and asks this Shinichi is also the landlord of the house. Ran, thinking of Conan's warning not to talk about Shinichi to Okiya, interrupts Sonoko to say they are consulting one "Kinichi" and that the landlord Shinichi has no special deduction ability. Okiya easily sees through the lie and reveals he had looked around the house but found no personally identifying items. Sonoko and Ran leave to find another paper airplane and Okiya is left to ponder over the landlord.

The deduction battle continues with Okiya and Conan matching each others' deductions perfectly. With the case solved, Okiya suggests that he will leave calling the police up to Ran and Sonoko because they have police acquaintances, revealing he knows something of the backgrounds of the girls and their connections. When the pair leaves, Okiya celebrates the successful resolution of the case with a Sherlock Holmes story and a glass of bourbon.

Okiya's next appearance occurs when he comes at the request of Professor Agasa to pick up the Detective Boys who had gone fishing. Haibara is again suspicious of him, but Conan brushes her feelings aside. Okiya stops Haibara from slipping and offers to cook the Detective Boys' fish. When the Detective Boys stop at an island called Ikkaku Rock, Okiya Subaru takes a group photo. The gang stumble into a dead woman who appeared to have gotten lost and died on accident, but Okiya and Conan quickly recognize that she was deliberately abandoned to die. When Inspector [[Jugo Yokomizo]] tried to prevent the Detective Boys from questioning the suspects, Okiya stepped in, pointing out that sometimes a child's perspective can be the hint that unlocks the truth and, "Weren't there a number of cases that were solved as a result of some hint from these children?" revealing he knows about the Detective Boys' many prior successes.<ref name=665p13>Manga Volume 64, File 2, pg 13: "Mackerel, Carp, Sea Bream, Flounder"</ref> Indeed, with such a hint from Mitsuhiko and Haibara, Conan and Okiya simultaneously realize who the culprit is. After they took turns explaining the case, the culprit pulled out a knife and grabbed [[Ayumi Yoshida]] as a hostage. Conan didn't have any gadgets to help him. At that moment, Haibara felt a menacing aura from Okiya, and he slowly approached the criminal, saying he couldn't escape and even if he did, could he bear the pressure and loneliness of hiding in fear of someone uncovering his identity? The provoked criminal removed the knife from Ayumi's neck and lunged at Okiya. In one effortless movement, Okiya knocked the criminal's knife away and took Ayumi from his grasp. Despite his rescue, the malicious pressure Okiya emitted and his words left a strong impression on Haibara who is certain he is one of the Black Organization members.
Note: In the anime version, an extra scene has been added, in which Okiya is seen reading books under the moonlight while drinking a glass of bourbon and smiling. The scene ends with Haibara watching the Kudo House from Agasa´s with a preoccupied expression.

===A Dangerous Couple (Manga: [[Volume 65#Dangerous Couple Case|680]], Anime: [[A Dangerous Party of Two|557]])===
Later, Haibara, who had gone with Professor Agasa on a trip because she did not want to be alone while Okiya was around, demanded that Conan find some excuse to kick Okiya out of Shinichi's house. She explained to Conan that she thinks Conan is keeping him around and using her as bait in order to spy on him. Conan replies that he thinks Okiya is a good man and as for using Haibara as bait, "I-Idiot, you think I would do that!?"<ref name=680p5>Manga Volume 65, File 6, pg 5: "A Dangerous Couple"</ref>

=== Haunted Warehouse (Manga: [[Volume_66#Haunted_Warehouse_Case|691]], Anime: [[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|572]])===
Conan calls Agasa and finds out he invited Subaru Okiya over to cook because Haibara was out. Agasa says Okiya is a pretty good cook.

===Thirteen Red Shirts Case (Manga: [[Volume 67#Department Store Bomber Case|700-704]], Anime: [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|578]]-[[The Red Shaking Target|581]])===
[[Image:Okiya Jodie.jpg|thumb|right|Subaru Okiya knocks [[Jodie Starling]] over to prevent her from catching up with [[Scar Akai]].]]
[[Jodie Starling]] visits the [[Setting#Beika Department Store|Beika Department Store]], the origin of [[Scar Akai]]'s cap, to look for clues about him. Okiya follows her there. Subaru Okiya, along with Scar Akai and Conan, is then trapped on one of the department store floors by a bomber demanding to find the sender of thirteen red shirts. Meanwhile the [[Black Organization]] has heard that someone who looks like Akai appeared at the department store. [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] park outside the department store with the snipers [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to wait for Scar Akai.

Back on the bombed floor, Subaru Okiya takes an interest in the red shirts case. He solves the flag semaphore message and deduces it has to do with an incident in the mountains. Okiya then sees Scar Akai in the crowd and ducks away before scar Akai could spot him, and smiles mysteriously. Okiya goes to the windows out front and spies [[Gin]]'s Porsche and [[Chianti]] who has set up in a hotel across the street.

Conan tranquilizes [[Kogoro Mouri]] to begin his deduction show just as Kogoro receives an anonymous text message containing a mostly complete solution to the case from Scar Akai. After the case is over, [[Andre Camel]] reveals to Jodie the Black Organization are waiting outside with a sniper. Jodie rushes after scar Akai to stop him from being killed, but is prevented from reaching him by Okiya who knocks her over.

To prevent Scar Akai from being shot, Conan stirs the crowd up by lying that the store is giving out 10,000 yen gift cards. Okiya confronts Conan, who is surprised to see him, and introduces himself to Kogoro Mouri. He reveals that he was trapped on the bombed floor and tells Conan he was in the area because he visited the [[Scar Akai#Teito Bank Heist|Teito bank]] and followed Conan when he saw Conan enter the Beika Dept store. He leaves Conan with the mysterious quote:

{{cquote|Remember how there was a robbery at that bank? There was someone I knew in the footage from that robbery, so I was trying to find out if they use that bank. If that person uses it, they must live nearby. I was hoping to run into them.... Well, coincidentally they were also on this floor, but it turned out to be a look-alike, so I didn't say anything. I know that person from a long time ago, so there is no way I would mistake them with a look-alike.|File 704 pg 16|Subaru Okiya}}

===Communications Code (Manga: [[Volume 72|755]], Anime: [[Emergency Situation 252|623]])===
[[Image:Glasses File755 014.jpg|thumb|right|Subaru Okiya with [[Conan]]'s [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracking glasses]].]]
Okiya comes to rescue Conan and the Detective Boys who had been trapped by kidnappers in a building. Okiya thought they had encountered trouble when he noticed that no lights came on at Agasa's house after dark, and when he went over to inspect, the front door was unlocked, nobody was there, and two suspicious phone calls arrived. Okiya uses a spare pair of Conan's tracking glasses in order to find the Detective Boys, proving he knows about the function of Conan's tracking glasses and that they lock onto the detective badges.<ref name=755p14>Chapter 755 page 14: Communications Code</ref> Conan has never used the tracking glasses in front of Okiya before. Okiya knocks out one of the kidnappers, but tells the Detective Boys that the robber fell down the stairs. When Haibara questions why he had been paying so much attention to Agasa's house, Okiya tells her he wanted to give them some extra curry he had made for lunch.

===Ayumi Kidnapping Case (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-776]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]])===
[[Masumi Sera]] stops [[Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko]] outside of Agasa's house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa's. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to the two detective boys about the [[Masumi_Sera#Kogoro_Detective_Agency_Hostage_Crisis_.28Manga_771-774.29|prior hostage case]]. Sera asks who is living in the Kudo house now because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The detective boys tell her that Subaru Okiya has been staying there since his apartment burnt down.
[[Image:Okiya776.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Subaru hearing Conan's conversation.]]
Sera cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, "And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing..." while looking up at where Okiya Subaru is hiding and secretly observing the conversation.

Later, after Genta ruins Agasa's curry, Okiya secretly follows the detective boys on an errand to buy new ingredients. He tails the detective boys rather closely; Haibara, who is wearing a hat, seems determined not to acknowledge his presence. He stops and looks over his shoulder to watch a car that parked on a side street. The car pulls out of sight and Okiya turns away and continues on, but soon enough car reverses back into its former position. Okiya is later seen in the grocery store, and he worriedly watches Conan and Haibara dash out of the grocery store after hearing that Sera saw Haibara's reflection in Agasa's glasses in an online video. Okiya follows the detective boys back and listens into Conan's conversation at Agasa's via an earpiece while watching on the professor's house from one of the Kudo household's upper story windows.

=== Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76|798-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]])===
[[Image:Okiya_frightens_Haibara.jpg‎‎|thumb|right|220px|Okiya frightens Haibara as he determines to stop the culprit.]]
Okiya appears at Haibara and Agasa's house and goes with them in [[Vehicles#Subaru 360|his car]] to save Conan who had been kidnapped. During the chase, Okiya uses the phrase "Don't make that kind of face", to reassure Haibara that he will definitely catch up to Conan. When he pulls up behind the suspect's car, he leans out the driver's side and puts his hand in his jacket, likely to pull out a handgun to shoot out the suspect's tires. Okiya aborts this plan when [[Tooru Amuro]] pulls up alongside him and they look at one another. Amuro and [[Sera]] successfully stop the kidnapper and Okiya drives away without lingering at the scene.

===Don't make that kind of face (Manga: [[Volume 76|802]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]])===
In chapter 802, Haibara hears the same "Don't make that kind of face" phrase from Conan, causing her to remember both the statement that Okiya made in chapter 800, and Akai making the same statement while under the Dai Moroboshi persona about protecting her sister. After this Haibara begins referring to Okiya using his given name "Subaru".

===Ski trip delay (Manga: [[Volume 77|809-811]], Anime: [[Froth, Steam, and Smoke|684-685]])===
[[File:685-2.png|thumb|Haibara uncovering Subaru's scarf]]

Haibara and Conan are late for a ski trip with professor Agasa and the detective boys because Haibara forgot something at Agasa's house. Unable to rouse the drunk sleeping Kogoro into getting a rental car, Haibara suggests calling Okiya for a ride. Conan is surprised at Haibara's change of heart regarding Okiya. On the way to the ski site, Okiya suggests he might join in because he feels he has been getting out of shape. Haibara directly questions Okiya about why he needs to stay in shape. Okiya comments, "Well, in a way... I ''do'' want to look good for the ladies." A murder case happens, interrupting the trip. After Conan runs off to question the suspects with Takagi, Subaru examines the body and gives his thoughts. Haibara suggests that he is rather knowledgeable about murders. Okiya gently corrects her, saying his interest is derived from his love of Holmes, and that he likes solving puzzles.

While the case suspects are being questioned by the Police, Haibara is waiting outside together with Okiya in front of the Police Headquarters. She mentions that this is "the first time" that she's alone with him. Okiya suggests that they should move to the parking lot and wait inside the car. However, Haibara doesn't seem to like the idea, and sarcastically answers that he can force her to come along with him if that's what he wants. Okiya doesn't do so, because of an unknown promise he made with ''"her"''.

The sky has turned dark. Okiya takes a nap inside his car. Haibara decides to take advantage of this moment and secretly tries to remove his scarf. However, Okiya has waken up and stops her from doing so. He explained: "Beyond here is my area... and not your space... Adults get cold... They're not outdoor creatures, after all..."

===Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|812-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case‎|690]]-[[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case‎|691]])===
[[File:691-9.png|thumb|Subaru finds out that Conan is Shinichi]]

Ran, Sonoko, and Sera go to Shinichi's house to find pictures of a ten year old crime scene similar to a case they just stumbled upon earlier. Sera enters the bathroom looking for Conan and encounters Subaru brushing his teeth with his neck uncovered. Sera becomes suspicious of him. She also wonders if he has invited a woman over when she finds a woman's hair tie. While the three girls are trying to solve the case, they decide to call Shinichi, and Conan is obligated to go to the bathroom and take the call. Subaru notices this and realizes he is going to play the Shinichi Kudo role. Rather than disturbing him, Subaru sends a message to Shinichi via Ran, telling him the name "Kumogakure Saizou", a clue to solve the case. After revealing the truth, Conan runs out from the bathroom, but he does not realize that Subaru had been watching him. Sera points out Conan left his bowtie on his cellphone. Then Subaru teases him by pretending to address Conan as Shinichi Kudo before suddenly switching topics.

===Cabin Trap (Manga: [[Volume 77|817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699]]-[[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|700]])===
[[File:Okiya hacking.jpg|thumb|left|Okiya hacks Mouri's computer]]
When Amuro sneaks into the Mouri Detective Agency to illicitly view the material Kogoro's clients have sent him, which includes a video of [[Shiho Miyano]] sent by [[Mitsuhiko]], Amuro notices someone hacking Kogoro's computer. After Amuro notices this, there is a cut to Shinichi Kudo's house showing Okiya sitting by three monitors with a glass of bourbon and an ashtray full of cigarettes.

===Bell Tree Express Mystery (Manga: [[Volume 78|820-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train |701-704]])===
[[File:akai-okiya.png|thumb|right|200px|Subaru Okiya's opened eyes are identical to Shuichi Akai's.]]
It is revealed that Vermouth and Bourbon are on the train, and that they have located Sherry and notified Gin and Vodka about this. Subaru is seen in a room with a woman who looks like Vermouth, but the top part of her face is hidden by her hat. Haibara receives a text message from Vermouth asking, "Are you ready?" Haibara locks herself in her bathroom and prepares to take the drug, presumably to turn herself into Sherry to protect her alternate identity. However, before she can consume the drug, Subaru enters, states "Just as expected of sisters, I can read all your moves." He is holding up a cell phone as he speaks, "Now, can I have you step this way...into our area?" However Haibara quickly runs past him, trying to escape. Later, Subaru is shown setting an unconscious Sera on the sofa of the train, smiling as she unconsciously mutters the words "Shuu-nii". At the end of chapter 824, Subaru is seen putting on his glasses while observing Vermouth and Bourbon. His eyes are open and his eyes are identical to Shuichi Akai's.

===Delivery Service (Manga: [[Volume 80|843]], Anime: [[Sweet and Cold Delivery Service|722-723]])===
[[File:Okiya Watching.jpg|thumb|left|Okiya watches from the window]]
The Detective Boys become trapped in a refrigerated delivery truck with a cat, a dead body, and two murderous workers. Unable to call for help and out of other options, Conan decides to try to get a message to Amuro using the cat and a doctored receipt. The receipt blew away before he could see the message, delaying Amuro who had to search for it. A while later when it appears like the Black Organization agent won't be coming to rescue them, Conan checks the packages for electronics they could try to use and unexpectedly finds a cake intended for Professor Agasa. He changes the address to direct the parcel to Kudo's house knowing that Okiya will deduce the situation and provide help. Okiya then gives the unwitting murderers a package containing a phone to deliver. Amuro finally locates the truck and comes to the rescue, so Okiya's phone is only used to call the police. Okiya watches the rescue unfold from the Kudo house window.

[[File:AmurOkiya.PNG|200px|thumb|left|Amuro confronts Okiya]]
[[File:akaicomesout.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Akai comes out from hiding in the backseat]]

Bourbon, claimed to having deduced [[Akai faked his death theory|the trick]] that Shuichi Akai used to fake his death. Subaru is at the Kudo house while watching the Academy Awards wearing a face mask when he got a delivery service. The delivery man turns out to be Bourbon, who introduces himself and asserts that it's not the first time he meets Subaru.
Amuro informs Subaru that the lives of his friends [Jodie and Camel] are on the line and that he has to be sincere to save them, he asks him to remove the mask and tell the truth and calls hims "the FBI agent, Shuichi Akai ." Okiya removes his mask, but it is normal looking. However, Amuro says that wasn't what he meant, and demands that Okiya remove his disguise to show his real identity as Akai. He searches Okiya's neck for a voice changer but finds none. Okiya states he has no idea about the Akai person that Amuro is talking about.

While Bourbon confronts Subaru Okiya in Shinichi's house, Akai comes out from hiding in the backseat of Jodie and Camel's car and proceeds to foil Bourbon's colleagues' attempt to capture them by shooting out their tires. Amuro then gets a call from his allies at Raiha pass that Shuichi Akai was spotted in the backseat of the FBI's car. Akai then gives the gun he was using, which is the Glock 17 pistol that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] used to commit suicide, to Bourbon's colleagues in exchange for him to talk with Bourbon on the phone. Akai reveals Bourbon's real name to be Rei Furuya, and deduces that he had been planning to use Akai's capture to get a higher position in the Organization. Because of this, Akai warns him not to lose sight of their real prey and that he didn't want to have Bourbon as his enemy. Akai then expresses his regret to Bourbon about an incident involving a specific person. After finding out that Akai is alive and clearly not Okiya, Amuro apologizes and leaves.
[[File:okiyaisakai.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Okiya is confirmed to be Akai in disguise]]

It was revealed that it was Yusaku who was disguising as Okiya, but the real Okiya was actually Akai in disguise all this time. Conan says at the end of the case that Akai will come back as he needs to protect someone.

Akai then invites Jodie and Camel to the Kudo house for further explanation about his faked death and informs them about [[Rum]], another member of the Black Organization who seems to be very close to the Boss.

'''{{nihongo|Jodie Starling|ジョディ・スターリング|Jodi Sutaaringu}}''', referred to in earlier episodes as '''{{nihongo|Jodie Saintemillion|ジョディ・サンテミリオン|Jodi Santemirion}}''', is an [[FBI]] agent in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Jodie as a child.png|thumb|150px|left|Jodie as a child]]
Some twenty years ago, when Jodie was still just a little girl, [[Vermouth]] killed her parents, who had been working on the [[Black Organization]] for the FBI. Vermouth was surprised to find her in her house, and after Jodie had asked what was going on, Vermouth told her to wait by her father until he woke up, and that "a secret makes a woman woman". She then set the house ablaze, thus destroying any evidence that she had been there, along with the corpses of Jodie's parents and any records about the Black Organization.

Fortunately, Jodie had decided to run down the street to the store to buy her father some orange juice, and had thus survived. She was put under protection by the FBI, although she declined the Witness Protection Program, and eventually became an FBI agent herself under the tutelage and patronage of [[James Black]]. The only remaining memento from her past is the set of glasses she wears, which had originally belonged to her father.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Jodie usually is a very serious person, but also has demonstrated a very playful and carefree side (as it is seen when she is Ran's English teacher). She seems to like movies (especially mystery and action-oriented films), and enjoys action video games.

== Plot overview ==
===Plot timeline===
Jodie appears around the same time as Vermouth as Ran's new English teacher at Teitan High under the name of "Jodie Saintemillion". She comes off as somewhat strange, and refers to Conan as "Cool Guy", which caused fans to believe that she knew his secret. (In fact, she now knows he's an incredible detective, but it is unclear if she knows his true identity). She is noted for often using the phrase of her enemy, Vermouth ('A secret makes a woman woman'). In Episode 226-227, Jodie, after watching Conan suspiciously, informs someone over the phone that she has found their target, whom she refers to as "Rotten Apple".

First indications of Jodie's FBI training are shown during the confrontation with the bus hijackers. She stealthily turns on the safety to one of the hijacker's guns, while knocking him down thus he cannot shoot it when he attempts to fire at her. She appears later in Episodes 271-272 and gives Conan information that allows him to solve the case. In Episodes 277-278, she is investigated by Conan and Heiji, both believing her to be Vermouth in disguise, as she pretends to not know japanese despite being perfectly fluent, and even helps them solve a case in the same episode.

It is not until her personal confrontation with Vermouth that Jodie's past and true identity as an FBI agent is revealed, as well as the real reason she's in Japan and the person she's looking for. She is tracking down Vermouth, and after a brief confrontation with her, Jodie is rescued by Conan and her colleague [[Shuichi Akai]]. Following this, she offers Ai a place in the Witness Protection Program, but Haibara declines. She does not appear again until when she helps Conan prevent an assassination plot of a politician orchestrated by the Black Organization and the subsequent capture and hospitalization of the Black Organization member, Kir.

Jodie has been heavily involved in the Black Organization arc in Episodes 492-504, which has involved the Black Organization and the FBI. The death of her partner, Akai, takes a very emotional toll on her. As it later turns out, they used to be lovers before Akai infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]], with whom he eventually became more intensely involved. Still, despite their breakup Jodie does maintain strong feelings for him.<ref name=Akai>Manga Chapter 677: The Fated Individual</ref>. When a man who looks like Shuichi Akai appears, Jodie is convinced that the stranger is her partner who has lost his memory, but he is gone before she can affirm her suspicion.



===Hints that Jodie was not Vermouth, but an FBI agent===
[[File:Jodie mirror pictures.PNG|thumb|right|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images.]]
* The records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases that [[Vermouth]] stole did not contain any cases involving Jodie Saintemillion, but did contain the murder case [[Tomoaki Araide]] was involved in. This was the clue that allowed [[Conan|Conan Edogawa]] to deduce Araide was Vermouth and not Jodie.
* Jodie's copies of [[Media:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard]] have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures.<ref name="f343p18">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 18: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> This detail was overlooked in the anime. Also Jodie has a picture of Dr. Araide.
* Jodie calls Conan "cool guy" after the first time they meet in reference to the caption on Vermouth's photo of Conan, but she switches to "cool kid" after that. This showed that Jodie did not know Conan was Shinichi, unlike Vermouth who was grateful to Conan (and thus trying not to target him) after Shinichi saved her in the New York case.
* Jodie mentions the nickname for the FBI is "The Bureau".<ref name=339p13-14>Manga [[Volume 33]], File 11 (339), pgs 13-14: "OX△□!?"</ref>

== Relationships analysis ==
Due to her undercover status in Japan, Jodie’s personality and style of communication varies from person to person. Outside of a select few who know of her involvement with the FBI, Jodie maintains her cover at all times, first being a high school English teacher at Teitan High, and later an American tourist vacationing with her “boyfriend”.

===Colleagues===

====Shuichi Akai====
[[Shuichi Akai]] and Jodie are co-workers that came to Japan as part of an FBI unit led by James Black in pursuit of Vermouth and the Black Organization. While their relationship is mostly professional in the current-timeline, the two were romantically involved four to five years prior. When Akai was given the mission to earn the trust of and become a mole inside the Black Organization, he got close to Akemi Miyano for the purpose of using her inside connections. Despite his original intentions, however, Akai genuinely fell in love with Akemi, leading him to break up with a blindsided Jodie. Akai calmly explained his actions to her by saying, “To be able to love two women at the same time…it’s not that handy a personality.” While the two were no longer lovers, Jodie's feelings for Akai never swayed. Despite an end to their relationship, the two continued on as colleagues until the fateful day when Akai was killed. While his death was a tragic loss for all those in the FBI, Jodie took it especially hard. When first hearing the news, she was in complete denial that Akai could die. Despite her frantic attempts at proving Akai was alive, however, Jodie came to the cold hard truth on her own, bringing the agent to tears.

Since the incidents of Clash of Red and Black, Akai has become an understandably sore topic for Jodie. On one occasion when conversation about drinks led Camel to mention Akai's love for Bourbon alcohol and how his presence would have been helpful, Jodie furiously tells him that Shuichi Akai is dead and he should never mention him again. She storms away from her friends. In addition to an inability to cope with this loss, her thought process has become seemingly more aggressive and risky, something that was unheard of during her long, careful investigation of Vermouth. Jodie's mindset has been especially fixated since her encounter with [[Scar Akai]]. When Camel mentioned that the sudden reappearance of Akai could be a trap set up by the organization, Jodie refused to accept the possibility of such a scenario.

====James Black====
Although [[James Black]] is in charge of the FBI agents stationed in Japan, his relationship with Jodie couldn’t be further from the usual boss and subordinate stereotype. In fact, during several occasions, Jodie takes over the role of giving out orders while James serves as her chauffeur. <ref>[[Volume 49#File 502 - A New Objective|Volume 49, File 502: "A New Objective", Page 11]]</ref> While there are many possibilities to explain such an arrangement, such as her strong personality and supposedly bad driving skills, James does not seem to mind in the least. The two have been acquainted long before she joined the FBI, dating back at least twenty years before the series. Following the murder of Jodie’s father, also an FBI agent, James tried convincing the young girl to join the witness protection program. Both out of concern for her safety and respect for his deceased friend, James pushed the offer hard and often, but Jodie refused him time and time again until at some point when she made him a deal; she would join the program if, and only if, she was promised a position in the FBI when she was older. <ref>[[Volume 43#File 437 - Ai Haibara's Resolution|Volume 43, File 437: "Ai Haibara's Resolution ", Pages 15 - 18]]</ref> Whether or not he accepted the deal, Jodie’s current employment with the FBI seems to speak for itself. Despite this unusual working relationship, Jodie is a loyal and hard-working agent that wholeheartedly respects the man whom she has come to see as a sort of father figure. Work aside, the two have been shown to spend time together as friends, often along with Camel.

====Andre Camel====
She first meets [[Andre Camel]] while protecting [[Kir]], and his lies make her suspicious. Later he is forced to knock her out to carry out Conan and Akai's plan to bring Kir back to the Black Organization. Jodie has twice needed to pretend Camel is her lover in order to escape probing questions. The first time was to trick the police when Camel was a prime suspect in a [[Clash of Red and Black#Friday the Thirteenth .28Manga: 605-609.2C_Anime: 501-504.29|murder case]], and later to dodge awkward questions from Ran about why Jodie was still in Japan. Camel plays along awkwardly.

===Black Organization===

====Vermouth====
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|175 px|right|Jodie (Age 7) encounters Vermouth twenty years prior to the series.]]
Bitter hatred for [[Vermouth]] is putting Jodie's feelings very lightly. The animosity she holds for the American actress stems back twenty years, during Jodie’s early childhood, when her father was murdered in cold blood and home burned to a crisp by none other than Vermouth. Jodie’s father was an FBI agent working in secret on files pertaining to Vermouth. Thinking that Jodie would die along with her mother and the files when the fire was set ablaze, Vermouth allowed the young girl to wait with her daddy for the bedtime story he promised her before dying. Things did not work out as planned, however, when Jodie left to buy orange juice at the grocery store as the fire began, later returning to find her house in shambles. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for the escapee, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues.

While Vermouth had since moved on from that incident, Jodie’s whole life was shaped during that fateful night. Albeit hesitant at first to join the program, Jodie made a deal with the persistent FBI agent, James Black: if promised a place in the FBI, she would take up his offer and go into the witness protection program. Ever since then, the burning desire to avenge her father, mother, and lost childhood drove Jodie to seek out the murderess. Vowing to always remember what took place, Jodie even took up the infamous motto that Vermouth spoke on the night of their encounter: “A secret makes a woman, woman.” When, years later, the FBI found a new lead on Vermouth, Jodie was given the opportunity to finally bring the high ranking organization member to justice.

Compared to the girl she made an orphan, Vermouth’s strong dislike for Jodie pales in comparison but exists nonetheless. When the two were finally reunited after a long period of time where both posed as school teachers, Vermouth was just as determined to finish what she started twenty years ago as Jodie was to bringing her nemesis into FBI custody. Although intervention from both sides led to a stalemate during their encounter, their fierce rivalry lives on, each with renewed efforts to put an end to the other.

====Kir====

===Other===

==== Conan Edogawa ====

Impressed by his intelligence, deductionary abilities and knowledge, Jodie considers [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] her "favorite detective". She always takes him seriously, and lets him help her in figuring out plans. Also, it is shown that Jodie has placed great trust on the boy detective. It is because when Conan asks a favor, or is asked by him to do a certain action, even though it doesn't make much sense, Jodie complies without question.

====Ran Mouri====
Although the two first met off screen when Jodie began teaching at Teitan High, Jodie’s stern personality and tough teaching style left a bad, perhaps more uncertain, impression on Ran. After coincidentally running into Jodie after school one day at an arcade, an entirely new impression was left on [[Ran|Ran Mouri]]. The high school girl began to admire and enjoy Jodie’s fun, friendly side. On more than one occasion, Ran even went to Jodie for advice. Unbeknownst to Ran, however, Jodie was putting on a front, at times even using the girl as a means to see Conan in action. As an FBI agent, Jodie closely monitored Ran and Conan after discovering a dartboard with their pictures during her investigation of Vermouth. As a school teacher, Jodie easily managed to keep close tabs on the girl labeled “Angel”.

When Jodie left her teaching position, the class was deeply saddened. Despite Jodie’s protests, Ran and Sonoko attempted to throw their favorite teacher a farewell party, which later turned into a case. To prove a friend’s innocence, Ran attempted to call Shinichi to solve the case for her. Jodie, however, took the phone away, claiming that Ran needed to learn how to become independent. This gesture helps encourage Ran to try and solve the case on her own, further strengthening Ran’s admiration for Jodie. When the time came to say good-bye, however, Ran went to use Jodie’s bathroom only to find photos of her friends and her hidden behind the sink mirror. Concerned by the discovery, Ran couldn’t decide what to make of the photos. When she finally found the courage to bring the topic up to Jodie during the latter’s hospitalization, the quick thinking FBI agent explained that displaying photos of friends was an American tradition. Relieved to hear her teacher's reasoning, Ran's admiration and respect for Jodie quickly returned.

====Ai Haibara====
Jodie takes great interest in [[Haibara|Ai Haibara]] originally due to her investigation of Vermouth; although the reasons at first where unknown to her, Jodie suspected that there was a connection between the woman who Vermouth called “Sherry” and the young girl by the name of Ai Haibara. <ref>[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask ", Pages 5 - 6]]</ref> Following the [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|showdown with Vermouth]], Jodie encourages Haibara to take part in the witness protection program, an offer that she declines after much consideration. As an FBI agent, she had hoped that Haibara would accept the offer, but because of their similar backgrounds, Jodie’s feelings were far closer to acceptance and admiration than they were disappointment. While the two have yet to completely realize just how similar their pasts are, Jodie has admitted to seeing a little bit of herself in the young girl, even going as far as to comment on how Haibara had something that she lacked at that age; [[Detective Boys|friends]] who she can depend on. <ref>[[Volume 43#File 437 - Ai Haibara's Resolution|Volume 43, File 437: "Ai Haibara's Resolution ", Pages 15 - 18]]</ref> Although the relationship was mostly one-sided in the beginning, Haibara has started to see Jodie as a trustworthy figure of whom she can put her faith in, particularly after the many situations where FBI involvement has saved the day.

====Tomoaki Araide====
When Conan and Jodie succeeded in unmasking Vermouth and subsequently foiling her plans, the Araide family returned home to Japan, much to the dismay of the FBI agents who had gone to such lengths to protect them. It was encouraged that they take part in the [[Wikipedia:Witness protection|Witness Protection Program]], but [[Tomoaki Araide]] declined on behalf of the family. In order to make the transition back to daily life as smooth as possible, Jodie filled Tomoaki in on what he had missed, omitting certain details while making other things up to protect intelligence, allowing the doctor to return to his regular life again. During their final phone call, Jodie tells him that they will not speak again. Tomoaki uses this final opportunity to ask if Vermouth was really a bad person, infuriating Jodie who asked how a good person could kill while wearing a smile. <ref>[[Volume 45#File 459 - Truth Behind the Remaining Desk|Volume 45, File 459: "Truth Behind the Remaining Desk", Pages 16 - 18]]</ref>

==== Heiji Hattori ====
Jodie has some interest in [[Hattori Heiji|Heiji]]. In the [[English Teacher vs. Great Western Detective]] case, both Heiji and Jodie learn a lot about each other and their secrets. She correctly deduces that Heiji is very proficient in English, and in turn, Heiji deduces that she is also very good in Japanese. She relates [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] with Heiji; the two share a lot in common, which she found very interesting. Though Conan is her favorite detective, she respects Heiji's capabilities and helps Heiji and Conan whenever circumstances bring them together on a case.

== Character popularity ==

'''{{nihongo|Andre Camel|アンドレ・キャメル|Andore Kyameru}}''' is a character from the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is an FBI agent.

== Background ==
Andre Camel is a member of the FBI who feels a debt to [[Shuichi Akai]] for ruining his infiltration of the Black Organization and the FBI's chances to capture [[Gin]] two years ago. Andre Camel is well built and has an ugly mug; Jodie calls him a gorilla at one point. He is an expert technical driver. He isn't married and doesn't have a family.

== Personality ==
Despite his rather hulking appearance, Camel is a nice guy who cares about the feelings of his fellow FBI agents. He can react quickly, as shown by his driving skills and his role in the return Kir plan, but doesn't always make the best choices, evidenced when his concern for an old man wound up ruining Shuichi Akai's cover in the Black Organization. He is also awkward, mostly failing to play the role of Jodie's lover in order to fool the police, and bringing up Akai in front of the still mourning Jodie.

Camel likes working out whenever he gets the chance; Akai calls him a "muscle-training maniac" because of that habit. He also likes to regularly frequent eating establishments where the food and/or drinks have met his approval, and he has developed a strong liking for the Japanese cuisine. As a foreigner with learning only in the standard Japanese language, Camel is unfamiliar with local dialects and idioms common in everyday language.

== Plot overview ==
=== Organization's Counterattack (Manga: [[Volume_58#Kir_Transport_Case|599-601]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|498-499]])===
Andre Camel initially appears to be suspicious FBI agent, possibly a [[Black Organization]] infiltrator. [[Jodie]] calles out to him right before the strategy meeting, and after showing her his badge, he tells her to hold on while he finishes his call to his wife. In reality, he most likely was contacting [[Shuichi Akai]] about details for the upcoming plan to return [[CIA]] agent [[Rena Mizunashi]] to the Black Organization that involves tricking the rest of the FBI as well.

During the strategy meeting, Camel encourages the FBI to consider a plan to move Kir quickly and points out he is an excellent technical driver and would be up for the mission. After the meeting adjourned, Jodie, who felt a bad vibe from Camel, asks Akai if he has seen Camel before. Akai lies, saying he hasn't, but tries to reassure Jodie by saying he would never forget an enemy face.

The following morning, the Black Organization launches their counterattack on the FBI in the hospital. They create several nearby accidents to cause a large rush of people into the hospital and then begin sending patients small bombs hidden inside gifts. Jodie is tasked with getting rid of the bomb that the Black Organization had mailed [[James Black]] in a pot of flowers. Camel, who had deserted his nearby post to inform Jodie of the incoming panicked crowd, volunteers to help dispose of the bomb, pointing out all the major roads were clogged with traffic because of the incidents the Black Organization created. Jodie is reluctant, but agrees when Camel claims to have extensive knowledge of the area.

Jodie takes the wheel at first, but Camel steals her driving spot after he tricks Jodie into looking for the source of a non-existent ticking sound in the trunk. Camel then remarks that he will drive off without her because he wants to take a shortcut that only a skilled driver like him could manage in the time before the bomb detonates. To Jodie's dismay, Camel's shortcut turns out to be sidewalks and the wrong the side of the road. He manages to make it to a bridge in time, and telling Jodie to grab the wheel, heaves the bomb into a river where it explodes harmlessly. Jodie calls James to report the success, and Camel smiles at Jodie's praise of his skill.

Camel returns with Jodie to the hospital and they and the rest of the FBI continue collecting bombs that the Black Organization had "gifted" to patients. The Black Organization, in order to lure the FBI agents busy collecting bombs to Rena Mizunashi's room, hack the TV signals in the hospital and broadcast an edited clip of Rena Mizunashi in a hospital gown saying she has recovered from her illness. Jodie rushes towards Mizunashi's room, and on the way sees Camel. Camel says that newcomers aren't told where Mizunashi's room is, and he asks if he should come along. Jodie tells him to keep collecting bombs.

=== Moving Rena ([[Volume_58#Kir_Transport_Case|602-603]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|499-500]])===
Now that the FBI think the Black Organization has discovered the location of Rena Mizunashi, they hold an emergency meeting to decide on the logistics of fooling the Black Organization with three identical vans. Camel volunteers to drive the van with Rena Mizunashi and Jodie agrees because of his driving skill while disposing of the bomb earlier. Akai warns him not to be scared, "The fear of death is worst than death itself." Camel comments that he has no family to mourn if should he fail, which immediately raises Jodie's suspicions as Camel earlier told her he was calling his wife. As Camel prepares to climb into the van, Jodie confronts him and asks him to give up his driving responsibility to her. Jodie snatches the keys from him, but he knocks her out with a fist to the gut and leaves her propped up against the back of a car. Just before they roll out, James asks Camel if he has seen Jodie, but Camel denies seeing her.

The Black Organization tails the three vans with motorcycles and images the inside of the vans thermally. Camel continues steadily on a course looping back towards the hospital despite Vodka following him. Gin correctly guesses Rena Mizunashi is in the van Vodka is following and soon the three motorcycles and Gin's porsche converge on Camel's van. Camel reports this to James and tells him he will shake them off. At that movement, Kir hits Camel with a bomb she had been holding and the van spins out and skids against a railing to a halt. After Kir bails out, Gin orders Chianti to kill the seemingly unconscious Camel. Before she can do so, there is an explosion in the van. Camel quickly slips out of van on the far side at the same time as the explosion which gives the Black Organization the impression he was killed by it. The singed Camel contacts Akai to tell him the plan was a success, revealing that all his suspicious behavior so far was part of Akai's strategy.

==== Explaining the plan to the FBI ([[Volume_58#Kir_Transport_Case|604-605]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|500]])====
With Kir safely replanted in the Organization, Akai explains Camel's involvement to the rest of the FBI. Akai had contacted Camel secretly, needing someone to volunteer to drive Kir in one of the three vans, pretend to crash, and then escape the detonating van to trick the Black Organization and the FBI into thinking Kir had been successfully recaptured. Out of the FBI, only Camel was skilled enough as a driver to crash a van precisely and escape an explosion. The original plan was for Camel to ride alone with Kir when the FBI moved her and explain that he wanted her to rejoin the Organization. That wound up being unnecessary because Eisuke had forced Kir to reveal she was awake. While Camel forcibly removed Eisuke from the room, Akai and Conan discussed a new plan with Kir. Camel was told to take out anyone interfering with him being the driver for Rena's van, which is why he knocked out Jodie.

=== Shiranpuri Case (Manga: [[Volume_58#Foreign_Suspect_Case|605-609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|501-504]])===
A talent agency director was murdered at the New Beika Hotel and the police combed the building looking for foreigners who could speak Japanese. Camel was apprehended while he was jogging down the stairs as an exercise routine. Camel was hoping to hide the fact he was an FBI agent from the police, but when he mentions that he needs to stay fit for work, the Detective Boys and police became curious about his profession. Conan had to call Jodie to come and bail Camel out after the Detective Boys accused him of being a professional killer. Jodie added onto an earlier tale she told the police; she came to Japan after bungling at work and Camel had become worried and followed her to Japan...because he was her lover! Camel was caught off-guard by Jodie's story completely and his lack of believable acting made [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]] sense something was awkward.

The police ask the suspects to move to a different room while they investigate the crime scene. While they are walking, Jodie asks Camel what he had been doing in Japan two years ago. Camel reveals that two years ago, when Akai was still undercover as member of the Black Organization, he was the FBI agent that caused the mission to capture an executive member of the Black Organization to fail. When Akai had received his codename, he was to meet his new boss, [[Gin]], in a warehouse. The FBI planned a trap to capture Gin and staked out the warehouse. Instead of Gin arriving, a old man came in and sat down. Without thinking, Camel came out of hiding and shooed the old man away, telling him it was dangerous here. Gin never showed up and the Black Organization found out Akai was a spy. Because of that, eventually [[Akemi Miyano]], Akai's girlfriend, was murdered by the Black Organization. Camel felt he had a debt to repay to Akai, so when Akai asked if anyone was up for the plan to help return Rena Mizunashi to the Black Organization, Camel volunteered himself even though he was warned that it could cost his life.

=== Teito Bank (Manga: [[Volume_65#Bank_Heist_Case|677-679]], Anime: [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|563-564]])===
Jodie, James, and Camel are out shopping for a bottle of alcohol for James' birthday<ref>[[Volume 65|Volume 65, File 677, Page 2]]</ref>. Camel brings up Akai liked Bourbon whiskey and that if Akai were still around the FBI wouldn't have to worry about the Black Organization operative Bourbon. Jodie snaps at Camel for bringing up Akai and storms out, and James Black chides Camel for forgetting Jodie had feelings for Akai so she is still sensitive about his death.

=== Scar Akai at the Beika Department Store (Manga: [[Volume 67#Department Store Bomber Case|700-704]], Anime: [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|578]]-[[The Red Shaking Target|581]])===
[[Image:Camel Scar Akai Encounter.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Andre Camel sees Scar Akai.]]
While Andre Camel is in the bathroom, he sees [[Scar Akai]] pass behind him. Camel rushes from the bathroom, but scar Akai is nowhere to be seen. Camel wonders who it was he saw, but unlike Jodie wonders if he might be a trap from the Black Organization. Later he spots Chianti and Gin's Porsche outside the department store, alerting the Jodie and Conan to the sniping plan.

=== East vs. West rematch (Manga: [[Volume_74#East_vs._West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan_vs._Heiji,_Deduction_Battle_Between_the_Detectives_of_the_East_and_West|651]])===
Andre Camel goes to a Danny's restaurant to have some of their special curry. While in the restaurant bathroom, Andre overhears a man's phone conversation, which is seemingly about how he regrets killing someone. After leaving his stall, Camel finds the speaker dead from apparent suicide via a poisoned candy. During this case, Camel meets [[Heiji]] and [[Kazuha]]. Andre is unfamiliar with the Kansai dialect which caused him to misinterpret several things about the dead man's phone conversation. Andre also meets [[Masumi Sera]], who strongly reminds Camel of someone. This feeling prompts him to send her picture to Jodie and James Black to see if they recognize her.

=== Teacher Assault Case (Manga: [[Volume 84|891-893]])===

Near the end of the case, [[Bourbon]] walks up to Camel and asks him about [[Rikumichi Kusuda]], the undercover Black Organization member who killed himself while being chased by [[Shuichi Akai]] during the Black Organization and the FBI's standoff in [[Clash of Red and Black]]. Camel refuses to disclose any information as it's strictly confidential. [[Vermouth]], disguised as Jodie, then talks to Camel about Rikumichi, and Camel willingly opens up about it. After getting the information that they wanted, Bourbon and Vermouth leave. As the real Jodie approaches him, Camel is horrified to learn that he had made another grave error.

=== Scarlet Showdown (Manga:[[Volume 85|894-???]])===

Jodie starts to piece together the information she has gathered and comes to the conclusion that Shuichi Akai is indeed alive. To confirm her speculation, she and Camel visit Raiha Pass, the site of Akai's apparent death. On their way to the pass, several cars, presumably from the Black Organization, corner Jodie and Camel. Camel surmises that since the Organization has also found out that Akai's alive, they're planning to attack. Camel begins to feel guilty again, due to his mistake probably costing Akai everything he's been planning.

Camel drives towards a rock tactically to jump past the Black Organization cars. After landing, he notices that the steering wheel is starting to rotate to the right and figures that the wheel must have been damaged by the jump stunt. As they're losing their edge in the chase, a voice from the back seat orders Camel to open the roof of the car. To his and Jodie's surprise, it is Shuichi Akai. Akai reveals to the two of them that everything that's been going on is part of Conan's plan.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Colleagues ===

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Camel feels a debt to [[Shuichi Akai]] because his mistake started a chain reaction of events which began with Akai's expulsion from the Black Organization as a spy and ended with Akemi's death. Camel volunteered himself for a life threatening mission to atone for his guilt.

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling]] has a tendency to put Camel in sudden awkward situations, most notably by claiming to be his girlfriend in order to explain his and Jodie's continued presence in Japan. Camel doesn't react well, but tries to play along as best he can.

====James Black====
James Black is Andre's boss.

== Name origin ==
Andre Camel's name comes from [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Dren Lieutenant Dren], a character from [[Wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]].<ref>(Text from front cover of Japanese [[Volume 58]]) "どーも青山です。　今回初登場するFBIの捜査官アンドレ・キャメル！　彼の名前のモデルは、機動戦士ガンダムで”赤い彗星”シャア・アズナブルの副官であり、キャメル艦隊を指揮していた'''ドレン大尉'''。　え？　なんでそうしたかって？　それは読んでのお楽しみ…（笑）"</ref> {{nihongo|Lieutenant Dren|ドレン|Doren}} is [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Char_Aznable Char Aznable's] second in command for part of the series and led the Camel squadron. This matches the pattern for protagonist characters related to [[Shuichi_Akai#Name_origin| Akai Shuuichi]] to have names derived from antagonists in Mobile Suit Gundam.<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__view__findpost__p__235287 Gosho's interview]: 青山「コナンの味方であるキャラクターの最高ランクにあたるのが赤井でしたから、黒ずくめの組織側にもガンダム系の名前のキャラが出せたら面白いですよね。例えば『安室徹』とか(笑)ガンダムと敵味方が逆なのがいい。」 
Aoyama: If Conan's ally's highest ranking member is Akai, then it would be interesting if there were characters with Gundam-based names in the Black Organization as well. Like "Amuro Tooru" (laughs)
For Gundam, the good guys and bad guys should be reversed.</ref> "'''Andre'''" comes from moving the n (ン) in front of the "dore" (ドレ) and adding an 'a'. '''Camel''' comes from the same named squadron Dren was in charge of.

== Quotes ==

== Trivia ==
*Camel likes fruit juice drinks, especially the one they serve at the restaurant on the top of the New Beika Hotel. He also likes the special curry they serve at Danny's. Both of his food likes have accidentally got him involved in murder cases, first as the primary suspect, then as primary witness.

'''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a high school detective in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the younger sister of [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] and a practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]].

== Background ==
Masumi Sera is a Japanese-American high school detective and the younger sister of [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]]. Although she grew up in Japan during her elementary school years, she moved to America three years ago with her mother, presumably due to Akai infiltrating the [[Black Organization]]. She has recently returned to Japan for some unknown reason. After meeting Conan, Ran, and Sonoko during a case, she transfers to [[Setting#Teitan High School (帝丹高校)|Ran's high school class]]. Masumi is skilled at [[Wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]], a hobby encouraged by her brother Shuichi who mailed her instruction videos while in elementary school. She can fight in the same level as [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She seems to know that Conan is Shinichi and implies that she met Ran and Shinichi sometime in their past.

==Personality==
[[File:691-15.png|thumb|Sera beats a gangster in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]]]]

Sera has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality<ref>Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, "Let's hear your brilliant deduction!"</ref> and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High. On their first meeting, Sera fails to correct Sonoko's mistaken impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is "[her] type".<ref name=pronouns>The Japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.</ref> Her rather boyish appearance - especially in relation with her flat chest - is a bit of a touchy subject to Sera, who claims that her mother's bust size is rather well developed and keeps expressing her hope that someday her own chest size will similarly change for her.

Sera is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly. Sera seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Heiji]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. On the other hand, Sera is tough to the point that she is willing to risk all to achieve a successful conclusion of a case. In one instance, she purposefully lured a hostage-taker into a sniper's sight with a smile, hoping he would be shot without showing any apprehension about his possible demise.

Although she has crime scene experience<ref name=769p3>Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: "A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy"</ref>, Sera seems to be less skilled as a detective than Shinichi or Heiji, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked, although Conan opines that Sera purposely made an error in order to test him. In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.

Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is "case closed".

==Appearance==
[[Image:Sera_transfers.png‎|thumb|Sera transfers to Teitan High School]]

At first, she wears a grey fedora that used to belong to Shuichi Akai and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders. Even then, she is rather tomboyish; Genta mistakes her for a man, and Sonoko comments she has a petite figure. Later, Genta, Mitsuhiko and Hattori comment that her bosoms are rather small. Sera also has an uneven tooth that shows when she smiles.

Masumi and her brother Shuuichi presumably more closely resemble their mother than their father.

==Plot overview==
===Sera's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 73#Jeet Kune Do|768 - 770]], Anime: [[Deduction Showdown at the Haunted Hotel|646 - 647)]]===
[[File:Sera_Kick.png|thumb|right|Sera defends herself from Ran.]]
Sera first met [[Sonoko]], [[Ran]], and [[Conan]] on a bus after she was mistaken for a [[Wikipedia:Chikan|groper]]. After Sonoko declared Sera was the groper, Sera and Ran got into a fight, with Sera's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Sera cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Sera for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Sera declaring that Ran was "his type".<ref name=pronouns/> Sera and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.

Sera finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Sera told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well.

[[Inspector Megure]] is not pleased to have another high school detective underfoot but lets Sera and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Sera announces that she has solved the case.

However, Sera's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Sera stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.

The following day, Sera transfers to Teitan High School, surprising both Ran and Sonoko. She was rather popular at school surrounded by students asking her questions about herself.

===Kogoro Detective Agency Hostage Crisis (Manga: [[Volume 73#Bomber's Request|771]]-[[Volume 74#Bomber's Request|774]], Anime: [[Hostage Situation at the Mouri Detective Agency|648 - 650]])===

====Let's hear your brilliant deduction! (771)====
According to Sonoko, Sera has become very popular at Teitan high for being "cheery, sociable, boyish, and cute...and on top of that, she is a jeet kun do-using female detective!"<ref>Manga Volume 73, File 9, Page 3, "Let's hear your brilliant deduction!"</ref> One classmate compares her to [[Shinichi Kudo]] who has been taking a break from school. Sera tells inquiring classmates that she has been staying in America with her parents since three years ago, but "rebelled" because she would rather live in her Japan where she was born and raised. She sneaks up behind Sonoko and Ran after school because she wanted to speak to Conan at the Mouri Detective Agency. At the agency, Sera is unhappy to hear that Conan and the rest of Detective Boys are staying at Agasa's house and will be camping the following day. She settles for asking Kogoro if Conan is always at his side when he solves cases, hinting that she suspects Conan is the real brains behind "Sleeping Kogoro".

[[File:Sera_slide_kick.png|thumb|left|Sera sweeps out the Hostage Taker's legs]]
Just as Sera is about to walk out the door, three female mystery writers and a man enter the agency. After a moment of confusion, the man suddenly fires a gun into the roof and takes the detective agency hostage. His demands are that Kogoro figure out which of the three writers killed his sister at a ryokan one month ago. The quick thinking Sera sidles up to Ran and tells her to go for the man's gun after she takes his legs out. Sera's leg sweep sends the man to the floor, and Ran removes the gun from the man's hand with a kick; however, Sera leaps back when the man reveals he has bombs strapped around his chest and will detonate them if they try to stop him.

Meanwhile at Agasa's, Haibara is angry that Conan used Shinichi's voice to solve a case around the suspicious Sera. Conan's response is that Sera is familiar somehow, like they have met before or she looks like someone, and Conan feels she isn't an enemy. Genta and Mitsuhiko told Conan they saw a high school student walking home with Ran, so the jealous Conan calls Ran's cellphone to hear about it from her.

The hostage taker man orders Ran to answer her phone, but Sera snatches the phone away and says hello to Conan (who is shocked that Sera is with Ran). Sera then tricks the hostage taker and keeps the line connected so Conan can listen in by closing Ran's [[Yaiba#Characters|Sea Cucumber Man]] cellphone strap in between the screen and keypad of the the flip phone.

====Nickname Rules (772)====
Sera asks a few insightful questions about the case; however the hostage taker man discovers Ran's phone is still connected. Under gunpoint, Sera steps in front of Ran and takes the blame, but Conan, using Shinichi's voice, says he ordered Ran to do it. Sera is mystified by why Shinichi is now on Conan's phone. Sera meanwhile spots a glint of light across from the detective agency and declares that the case will come to an end without Shinichi's help.

====Possible Sniping (773)====
[[File:Sera773.png|thumb|right|Sera surprised by Ran's attitude.]]
Sera explains to Ran that she secretly kept the call to Conan connected so he could call the police and research into the case. While Sera is still surprised that Shinichi was on the other end of the line instead of Conan, she had initially hoped that Shinichi would somehow be able to talk down the would-be-murderer. She suspects that Shinichi has already figured which one of the suspects is the murderer in the ryokan case, but Shinichi is unable to reveal the truth because the hostage taker would then kill the named culprit and then himself. Sera's plan changed when she noticed the lights from the police snipers on the building across from Mouri Detective Agency. She explains to Ran in detail the names and functions of the various police divisions responsible for hostage situations, and tells Ran in a roundabout fashion that this situation will end with the hostage taker being killed by the police.

Sera launches a plan to bring the hostage taker into the snipers' range by telling him he should charge Ran's phone battery. Ran foils Sera's intentions by shutting the curtains, blocking the snipers' shot. To Sera's utter astonishment, Ran tells her that she doesn't want to see anyone die in front of her and declares that "Shinichi won't allow anyone to die. He absolutely wouldn't!"<ref>Volume 73, File 11, page 13, "Possible Sniping." Shinichi then begins to present his deductions over the phone and Sera wonders how he will manage to resolve this situation without bloodshed.</ref>

====The book with unturned pages (774)====
Sera and Ran take the opportunity to disable the hostage taker when he loses his composure and grip on the detonator after Shinichi tricks him into believing his sister committed suicide. Sera yells for the waiting bomb squad to secure the area. With the hostage taker arrested, Shinichi then reveals the true culprit. Sera realizes the mistake in her deduction and explains the correct timeline of events before the murder. Sometime soon after the conclusion of the case, Sera, walking with Ran and Sonoko speculates aloud that there must be some reason Shinichi left Agasa's before Ran could meet him there. She then exclaims that "due to what just happened, she really gets it", that Conan and Shinichi are on very good terms with one another, and that Ran "is tougher than Sera thought". Conan isn't sure what to make of these last comments.

===Video Site (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-777]], Anime: [[The Professor's Video Site|656-657]])===
[[File:Ai image.png|thumb|Sera deletes Haibara's image]]

Sera stops [[Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko]] outside of [[Agasa]]'s house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to Mitsuhiko and Genta about the prior hostage case. Mitsuhiko mentions that [[Haibara]] told them to keep Shinichi's involvement secret. After asking about Haibara, Sera mentions that she saw Haibara in one of the professor's online videos. Next, Sera asks who is currently living in the Kudo house because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The Detective Boys tell her that [[Subaru Okiya]] has been staying there since his apartment burnt down. Sera cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, "And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing..." while looking up at where Subaru Okiya is hiding.

At the end of the case, Sera is in her hotel room deleting various files. One of her deleted files was a still image from Agasa's video blown up to show Haibara reflected in Agasa's glasses. This indicates that she is not only keeping an eye on Conan but also on Haibara.
"Delete... Delete... For data, at least is an easy task to accomplish...", were her words while she was doing it.

===East vs. West Rematch (Manga: [[Volume_74#East_vs._West|778-780]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Heiji, Deduction Battle Between the Detectives of the East and West|651]])===
[[File:Sera FBI.png|thumb|left|Sera thinks about FBI]]
The case opens with Ran talking to Sera about [[Heiji Hattori]] who is stopping by for a visit. Sera is curious whether Heiji or Shinichi is the better detective. After Heiji is introduced to Sera, Kazuha then calls Heiji and tells him that she is stuck at a restaurant because someone died and a foreigner [[Andre Camel]] is keeping everyone from leaving. Sera proposes Heiji and Shinichi (via Conan's cellphone) have a deduction match. At the crime scene, Sera becomes curious about the foreigner, [[Andre Camel]] who secured the area. The police and Conan reveal Camel is an [[FBI]] agent and Sera takes interest. Meanwhile, Camel finds that Sera looks familiar, but can't quite place why. He takes a picture of her and mails it to [[Jodie]] and [[James Black]] who are waiting outside. Jodie and James Black think Sera resembles someone too, but only James Black correctly identified Sera as female.

Meanwhile Sera is busy helping with the case, asking questions and making comments about various deductions. Heiji nearly slips up with Conan's identity in front of her earning a pointed question from Sera, but Heiji rescues himself by saying he thinks of Conan as Kudo when Conan gets smug have hearing Shinichi's deductions over the phone. Sera doesn't seemed to be fooled though, her thoughts show that she seems to know Conan, not Shinichi, is the one solving the case while watching Conan come to his final conclusion.

===EYE (Manga: [[Volume_74#Eye_for_an_Eye|781]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|652]])===
Conan, Heiji, Sera, and the rest of the group return to the Mouri Detective Agency after the poisoning case at Danny's restaurant. Heiji reveals the case that brought him to Tokyo; he received a mysterious letter signed in the name of a person who was murdered in Karuizawa requesting an investigation. Sera takes an immediate interest in the case and wants to tag along, but Heiji refuses saying that the people he is visiting are only expected five people. Sera is peeved at being left behind.

===Kogoro-san is a Good Man (Manga: [[Volume 75|787]], Anime: [[Kogoro-san is a Good Man|661]])===
Sera is walking with Conan, Ran and Sonoko. While they wonder why Kogoro has been coming home late, Sonoko thinks he's found himself a mistress. Sera thinks that he is just investigating a case. When an old lady named Takae Kiritani comes, she claims that Kogoro has been helping her. Sera asks what he does for her to which she replies that its small things like helping around the house. Sera isn't seen again for the rest of the case.

===Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: [[Volume 76|797-800]], Anime: [[Detectives' Nocturne|672-674]])===
[[File:Sera's motorcycle.jpg|thumb|right|Sera in her motorcycle.]]
During a murder case at Mouri Detective Agency, after meeting Kogoro's new apprentice [[Tooru Amuro]], [[Megure]] comments that the number of detectives around Kogoro has increased again, referring to Sera. Amuro takes interest in Sera. Later, Kogoro and friends go over to a suspect's apartment. Sera calls Ran after hearing about the murder on the news because she is worried about her and Conan. The call has an usual amount of static which alerts Amuro that there are listening devices present. Amuro abruptly hangs up Ran's phone on Sera. Meanwhile, Conan intentionally gets himself kidnapped by the primary suspect. After Ran enables calling again, Sera calls back immediately and is very upset because she was worried something had happened to Ran. Ran tells her that Conan has been kidnapped, and details to Sera the murder at Kogoro's agency. In order to figure out where the kidnapper is headed, Kogoro and Amuro search the apartment and decide to go to the address of one of the other suspects.

Sera arrives at suspect's home on [[Cars|her motorcycle]], but just misses Kogoro and the gang leaving. She hears the elevator descending and rushes back downstairs in time to follow Amuro's [[Cars|car]]. Meanwhile, the culprit has been driving around with Conan while Haibara has been directing Okiya's car towards them using the criminal tracking glasses. Okiya catches up to the kidnapper and relays what the car looks like to Kogoro. Amuro sees the suspect's car heading in the opposite direction so he quickly wheels around after it. Sera, who has been following Amuro's car this whole time, u-turns after Amuro and continues chasing. Amuro gets in front of the suspect's car and stops it. The suspect gets out of the car holding Conan at gunpoint, but Sera drives up onto the roof of the car. She swings her motorcycle around so that the rear wheel slams into the woman's face knocking her unconscious. With tears of relief, Sera hugs Conan, happy he is safe. Amuro, Okiya, and [[Vermouth]] look on.

===Meeting with Scar Akai (Manga: [[Volume 76|801]], Anime: [[Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter|675]])===
[[File:Sera_675.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Sera looking for Scar Akai.]]
Sera is walking with Sonoko and Ran, and Ran is talking by phone with Conan. Sera hears Haibara's voice in the background and becomes curious. She asks the two others what Haibara is like, and Sonoko says Haibara is like a woman in a child's body.

When Ran hangs up her cellphone, the topic switches over to Amuro. Sera says to Ran she wants to meet Amuro because she never got a really good look at him from the last case, but Sonoko thinks she wants to meet Conan. instead. Ran says Shinichi and Conan are big fans of Sherlock Holmes. Sera thinks about that she has known that for a long time.

Suddenly, Sera sees [[Scar Akai]] in the crowd ahead. She runs after him, but she can't catch him. Ran wonders who Sera was chasing, but Sera replies she thought it was someone she knew, and silently appends in her mind that it would be impossible for the man she was chasing to be the person she thinks it was.

===Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|812-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|690-691]])===
[[File:690-3.png|thumb|Sera is shocked to see Subaru]]

Sera meets [[Subaru Okiya]] at Shinichi's house and she finds him suspicious. She began to think there is a woman at Kudo's house because there are a hair elastic, lipstick in a glass and a long hair in the sink trap. After that, all of them solved a case together that is similar to a case that Shinichi Kudo's father dropped out 10 years ago. It was revealed to be a theft case. Both Subaru and Sera had got more suspicious of Conan and the identity of Shinichi Kudo. At the end, when the criminals were knocked, she saw Ran and Conan and she thought she was a 'bad kid', after all.

===Gunma Campground's Cabin Trap (Manga: [[Volume 77|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]])===

After she and Conan solved the case, she and Conan rushed towards the burning cabin. Conan and the Detective Boys were talking about how they got safe.

[[File:new-sera.png|thumb|left|Sera leans in to get a good look at Haibara]]
[[File:Sera is akai sister.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sera is revealed to be Akai's sister.]]
Sera finally meets Haibara, and Haibara has a bad feeling about her (although it could have been due to Scar Akai spying on them from behind the door just then). Later when a murder occurs on the Bell Tree Express, she and Conan investigate. Sera takes a video recording of the suspects running so she can show it to the detective boys in order to ask them which one had the closest gait to the masked suspect from earlier, but she is intercepted first by Scar Akai in the hallway. She stops and angrily asks him who he is. Scar Akai simply replies that she hasn't changed, reveals his face to her, and refers to her by her first name, "Masumi". In her shock Sera calls him "Shuu-nii", signifying that Akai is Sera's older brother. She questions Scar Akai about what happened, saying that she heard he had died. Scar Akai then tasers her unconscious, stating that he was hoping for that response. Scar Akai later is revealed to be Vermouth in disguise, explaining why he attacked Sera.

===The Blush Mermaid Heist (Manga: [[Volume 78|828]]-[[Volume 79|830]], Anime: [[Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid|724-725]])===
[[File:SeraHat.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Sera is relieved that she has got her hat back.]]
Sera accompanies Conan, Ran, and Sonoko to the location of Kaitou Kid's next heist: a museum where the Blush Mermaid, a gem adhered to the shell of a turtle as a last ditch effort by a an Italian actress in an accident at sea to save her turtle by encouraging someone to rescue it. Before checking out the museum, Sera asks Ran if she saw a [[Scar Akai|strange man in black]] when she found the hat on the Belltree Express. After the group arrives at the room where the turtle is being held in a large aquarium, Inspector Nakamori pulls Sera's face to see if it is a mask worn by Kid. Annoyed by Nakamori's mistaken gender assumption and having her face pinched, Sera knees him in the privates ostensibly to prove he isn't Kid. Sera then runs off to the bathroom. Later, when Kid makes his move, Sera is one of many caught in his trap: the rug on the floor is pulled up by strings so that it pins everyone standing on it to the front of aquarium. As soon as the rug drops, everyone sees the tank is empty except for a card left by Kid. This leaves Conan and Sera quite dumbfounded as to how Kaitou Kid could have removed the turtle. Later, Conan reveals that Sera is really Kaitou Kid, and he had made a critical error in his acting by assuming Sera was a male. Kaitou Kid had locked the real Sera bound and gagged in the men's bathroom after knocking her out with a stun gun. Upon gaining consciousness, Sera escapes her bonds, rushes out of the bathroom, and gives a still disguised Kid a fierce kick to the face. After Kid escapes (due to Ran distracting Sera by pointing out that everyone can see her underwear), Sera is relieved that she at least managed to recover her hat, which she thinks is special because it somehow has the same feel as her brother Shuichi Akai's hat.

=== Cooking Show Murder (Manga: [[Volume 80|844-846]], Anime: [[The Treasure Chest Filled With Fruits|727-728]])===
[[File:SeraSmile.jpg|right|thumb|150px|Sera is smiling and blushing when Conan asks her if they had met each other before.]]

Furthermore Sera explains to Conan that her brother also advises her on cases by phone. After successfully investigating the crime scene with Conan, Sera steps aside with her smartphone and types in the message "It seems like he's also arrived at the truth... But whether or not our deductions are the same - lately I've been losing confidence in that regard...". When the recipient writes back "Who is he? I'd like an explanation!", Sera takes a picture with her smartphone. However, the recipient's answer "If it's him, there's no problem." reveals that he is familiar with Conan. It is heavily implied that it is the same person Conan saw Sera making a call with in File 857.

== Plot Exposition ==
=== Hints that Sera was Shuichi Akai's sister ===
Sera was revealed to be Shuichi Akai's sister on the Bell Tree Express after a confrontation with [[Scar Akai]]<ref name=821p16>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 4 (821), pg 16: "Mystery Train (Junction)"</ref> and while sleeptalking.<ref name=823p4>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 6 (823), pg 4: "Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke)"</ref>
[[Image:Sera_and_Shuuichi.png|thumb|right|300px|Sera and [[Shuichi Akai]].]]
* Sera has bags under her eyes identical to Shuichi Akai's.
* Masumi Sera's name is also incredibly similar to Mobile Suit Gundam character [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Sayla_Mass Sayla Mass] (セイラ・マス, ''Seira Masu''). [[Shuichi Akai#Name origin|Akai's name is derived]] from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Aznable.
* Conan said he has a feeling he had met her before. "''Somehow I feel like we've met somewhere before, it might be that person resembles someone I know, that's why the feeling that we've met before is on my mind...''"<ref>Manga Chapter 771: Let's Hear Your Brilliant Deduction! p.11</ref>
* [[Andre Camel]] and most likely [[James Black]] seem to recognize her from somewhere. On another interesting note, James Black was the first to recognize that Sera was a girl. Everyone else thought that she was a guy when they first saw her. Since James was Akai's boss, he would most likely know that Akai has a younger sister and what she would look like.
* Sera lived in Japan until three years ago when her family moved to America. This matches with the time when Akai was infiltrating the Black Organization. The family's move to America could be the FBI's attempt to protect them should something go wrong with Akai's mission.
* In Chapter 801, Sera chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen "someone she knew".
* In Chapter 859, Sera, when being asked who taught her Jeet Kune Do, answers that her older brother did. Consequently, Conan asks Sera: "But, didn't you say your older brother was dead?" This leads to Sera remarking "Yeah... That's what I heard." also further supporting the theory that Sera is in Japan to investigate her brother's death.

=== Hints that Sera was not Bourbon ===
* In Chapter 801, Sera chased after [[Scar Akai]] who appeared while she was walking with Ran in front of the Mouri Detective Agency. Although, Scar Akai hid before she could find him, she told Ran that she had just seen "someone she knew". She then thinks there is "no way it was possible" regarding the man she saw, which would make sense if she thought Akai was dead. This implied she wasn't Bourbon, since Bourbon believes he is the only one who can kill Akai, implying that Gin might have failed to do so. Hence Bourbon wouldn't think that it was impossible to meet Akai again in the street.

==Relationships analysis==

===Friends & Family ===

==== Shuichi Akai ====
[[Shuichi Akai]] is Sera's older brother. Sera refers to Akai as "Shuu-nii", implying that they were close. Sera seems to miss him after his supposed death. In the Blush Mermaid Heist, Sera is shown to be fond of her fedora as she believes it has the same "feel" as Akai's old hats. Shuichi sent Masumi Jeet-kun-do training tapes while she was in elementary school. She watched these so many times while practicing that she wore them out.<ref name="876p2">Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 2: "The romance novelist"</ref> She describes her eldest brother as ''strong'' in contrast to her second - oldest brother.<ref name="859p6-7">Manga [[Volume 81]], File 9 (859): pgs 6-7: "Jeet Kune Do vs. Karate"</ref>

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP671-674_25.png|thumb|right|Sera hugs Conan after rescuing him in [[Detectives' Nocturne]].]]
Sera is interested in [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s abilities as a detective and has been gathering information on him and his friends. She appears to be certain that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. Despite her initial suspicious presentation, Conan felt like she wasn't a bad person and so didn't mistrust her. Conan at one point questions her if they've met before, but she denies this and secretly thinks, "Now's not the time".

On several occasions, such as the dramatic conclusion of the [[Volume 76#Online Client|Online Client Case]], Sera has displayed an intensely affectionate air towards Conan which somewhat transcends a mere "big sister" relationship. As to how Sera actually feels about Conan is yet to be revealed.<ref>Manga Chapter 800: ''Online Client Case'' - "When Objects Collide"; Anime Episode 674: ''[[Detectives' Nocturne]]'' - "Bourbon"</ref>

==== Ai Haibara ====
Sera has been interested in meeting [[Ai Haibara]] for yet unrevealed reasons and has been secretly gathering information on her. She also seemed to recognize [[Shiho Miyano]] in the video of her rescuing the [[Detective Boys]]. Haibara in turn feels uneasy around Sera, especially in close contact situations though arguably it could also be due to Scar Akai's presence near Sera.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Sera and Wave.jpg|thumb|left|180px|Ran hears sounds of rippling waves when she sees Sera hurried away]]
Since enrolling at Teitan High, Sera and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have become friends and often walk home from school together. Ran seems to recall having met Sera before in the past, hearing the sound of "rippling waves" when the she sees the latter leaving, "as if some sort of magic were at work". Sera has also declared Ran as "her type" when they first met as a sign of liking, though this ultimately led Sonoko, Conan and Ran herself to mistake Sera for a boy.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
Since enrolling at Teitan High, Sera and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have become friends and often walk home from school together, with Sonoko describing Sera as a popular girl who is "cheery, sociable, boyish and cute" and on top of that, a "Jeet Kune Do using detective", though she also teasingly remarks that the only thing "against Sera" is her flat chest.

==== Second-older brother ====
Sera appears to have a good relationship with her older brother and often consults him regarding information or deductions about the cases she faced, and also has a high regard of her brother's intellect, even considering the already sharp Akai as "strong" in contrast to her second older-brother.

=== Black Organization ===

==== Tooru Amuro ====

==Speculation==
[[Image:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|170px|Sera mentioning Conan's name.]]
=== Sera met Shinichi and Ran when she was younger and knows Conan is Shinichi===
Sera knew Conan and [[Ran]]'s identities before they introduced themselves. Although she claimed to know Ran from Karate tournaments, she recognized Conan as a detective and anticipated his skill. Sera admits that she has met Conan before, but she can´t tell him until "the time" comes.<ref name=846p16>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 16: "The Magic Lock"</ref> Since Conan didn't exist until Shinichi shrunk, Sera must have met Shinichi some time in the past, and she recognizes him as Conan. The meeting was probably a significant time ago because Sera, while blushing, asks Conan if he once met a girl "a long time ago and could never forget [her]"<ref name=876p11>Manga [[Volume 83]], File 4 (876), pg 11: "The Romance Novelist"</ref> and gets annoyed when he says he can't recall someone like that. Conan realizes he met Sera before because he finds her snaggletoothed smile familiar,<ref name=845p16>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 6 (845), pg 16: "Our Territory"</ref> but she refuses to tell him where they met prior.<ref name=846p16/> Ran appears to have met Sera as well because Sera's figure as she runs away reminds her of "sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work."<ref name=846p4>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: "The Magic Lock"</ref>

In Chapter 771, it is revealed that she also knows Professor Agasa, although she calls him "Professor what's his name".

=== Identity of Sera's middle brother ===
{{main|Akai family's middle brother}}

=== The Wizard ===
In a PS, [[Akai family's middle brother|Masumi's middle brother]] asks if she "has already met the Wizard?"<ref name=861p15-16>Manga Volume 81, File 11 (861), pg 15-16: "Just like Magic"</ref> Masumi's thought reply is "You could say so..." Later, Masumi "thinks aloud" that her reason for returning to Japan is to meet the Wizard once more.<ref name=874p8>Manga [[Volume 83]], File 2 (874), pg 8: "The red past"</ref> The identity of the Wizard is still unclear.
==== Kaitou Kid ====
Masumi met Kaito Kid briefly at the [[Volume 78|Blush Mermaid Heist]]. It wasn't a normal meeting since Kid knocked her out and Masumi later attacked him, perhaps prompting the response "You could say so..."

==== Shinichi Kudo ====
Tellingly, Masumi turns towards Conan when thinking of the answer "You could say so". [[Masumi_Sera#Sera_met_Shinichi_and_Ran_when_she_was_younger_and_knows_Conan_is_Shinichi|At this point Sera seems to know Conan is Shinichi.]] If Shinichi was nicknamed "The Wizard" by Masumi and/or her brother because of [[Masumi_Sera#Sera_met_Shinichi_and_Ran_when_she_was_younger_and_knows_Conan_is_Shinichi|what happened when he and Masumi met in the past]], then the response is appropriate since she could only sort of meet with Shinichi, because Shinichi shrunk into Conan. It's possible that the event where Shinichi earned the nickname "The Wizard" was Shinichi and Ran's meeting with Sera in the past. When trying to remember Masumi, Ran specifically mentions "sounds of rippling waves, as if some sort of magic were at work."<ref name=846p4>Manga [[Volume 80]], File 7 (846), pg 4: "The Magic Lock"</ref> A "magical" incident, if it was Shinichi's doing, might have earned him the nickname.

==== Someone else ====

[[File:Akai's picture 338.PNG|thumb|right|The picture of the Detective Boys the mystery assistants captured]]

===Sera learned about Haibara from Akai's picture===
Sera initially had an interest in Haibara. This is strange because Haibara didn't exist prior to Shiho shrinking. The knowledge of Shiho should have been secret to her as well, because Shuichi Akai's infiltration of the Black Organization was a secret. If Sera doesn't even know the details of her brother's death, why should she know about Shiho? Sera may recognize Haibara from pictures of Conan and Haibara that Akai took back during the Vermouth arc. It is standard procedure in the US to send the personal belongings of the dead back to their families. If Akai mixed these pictures in with his own things when he took them out of his truck before meeting with Kir, it's possible they were overlooked when the FBI sent Akai's things to his family. If Sera was interested in finding out how and why Akai died, she would begin by researching the people in those pictures and those connected with them in hopes of finding clues.

==Character popularity==
*In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Sera placed 9th overall with 292 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8024|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

==Name origin==
{{Nihongo|Masumi Sera's|世良・真純|Sera Masumi}} name comes from the [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] character {{Nihongo|[[wikipedia:Sayla Mass|Sayla Mass]]|セイラ・マス|Seira Masu}}.<ref>[[Sherry's soliloquy|Sherry's soliloquy (2012-06-17)]], Gosho was referring to the revelation that Sera is Akai's sister (Manga File 821): やっぱりアルテイシアだったのね・・・ (So it was '''Artesia'''…). Note that "Artesia" is another name of '''Sayla Mass'''.</ref> The kanji for Sera's last name mean 'good world'. The kanji for her first name, Masumi, mean 'true' and either 'pure' or 'net.'

==Quotes==

==Trivia==
*When she was young she liked to read the "[[Night Baron]]" series, so she is fan of [[Yusaku Kudo]].
*Her catchphrase, "Case Closed" (said in English), is likely a reference to the English-language name of Detective Conan.
*Masumi Sera owns an [[Vehicles_in_Detective_Conan#Yamaha_Artesia_XT400|Artesia XT400]].
*In File 859, Sera reveals that she has a second-older brother and that her oldest brother taught her Jeet-Kune-Do.

'''{{nihongo|Shuichi Akai|赤井秀一|Akai Shūichi}}''' is an [[FBI]] agent and a major figure in the battle against the [[Black Organization]]. He once assumed the identity of '''{{nihongo|Dai Moroboshi|諸星大|Moroboshi Dai}}''' and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename '''{{nihongo|Rye|ライ}}'''. During this time he made enemies with [[Gin]] and [[Bourbon]] and became romantically involved with [[Akemi Miyano]].

== Background ==
[[File:Long haired Akai.PNG|thumb|160px|right|Akai as "Dai Moroboshi" during his infiltration of the Black Organization.]]
Shuichi Akai is an American of Japanese descent and member of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, on special assignment in Japan to capture [[Vermouth]]. His superior is [[James Black]] and his partner is [[Jodie Starling]].<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple 5</ref> He had infiltrated the Black Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi - and the codename "Rye" - as a mole<ref>Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past</ref> and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, to feed information to the FBI. In order to facilitate the latter, and later because he had genuinely developed feelings for Akemi, Akai saw himself forced to break up his then on-going relationship with Jodie.<ref>Manga Chapter 677: The Fated Individual</ref> Later on, his cover in the Black Organization was accidentally blown by his colleague [[Andre Camel]], and when Akemi was killed, he declared her murderer, [[Gin]] (with whom he seems to have had some tensions even before his exposure), his personal enemy.<ref>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

=== Infiltration of the Black Organization ===
Five years prior to the current time-line, [[FBI]] agent Shuichi Akai infiltrated the [[Black Organization]] using the alias Dai Moroboshi as a mole and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, in order to meet [[Shiho Miyano]] and use her influence to get into the Black Organization.<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> Although at first he was simply using Akemi as a tool, they both fell in love with each other. Akai distinguished himself as an agent and two years prior to the current time-line received the codename Rye and was called to work under executive agent [[Gin]]. The FBI laid a trap hoping to capture Gin at a warehouse where the meeting was supposed to take place,<ref name=599p9/> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

== Personality ==
Akai is a tenacious but stoic agent. Even in personal matters, he remains cool, even detached, from anyone, but his redeeming value is a great sense of loyalty to anyone he knows. He is a skilled and relentless pursuer and detective, qualities which have labeled him the number one enemy of the [[Black Organization]] and earned him the nickname "[[Silver Bullet]]". He looks forward to opportunities to hunt the Black Organization down and get revenge for [[Akemi]]. While usually professional, he often acts independently of the FBI, and even his boss [[James Black]] has trouble getting ahold of him. Shuichi gets along well with Conan, who share many personality traits.

James Black says Akai is an introverted person who doesn't easily get close to people and he has become even more closed off since Akemi's death.<ref name=502p13>Manga Volume 49, File 2, page 13: "New Order"</ref> He doesn't often say what he is thinking. Shuichi has an unhealthy tendency to prioritize his missions above the emotional wellbeing of his friends, coworkers, family, and love interests.<ref>Shuichi's fake death, while preserving Kir and allowing her to pass info to the FBI, has caused significant dysfunction within the FBI who believe him to be truly dead. While Shuichi has been technically fulfilling the promise he made to look after Haibara's welfare as Okiya, he has executed it in such a way that Haibara was terrified of his presence and refused to be alone at the Agasa house when he was around.</ref> Conflict between his missions and the interests of those he cares about has lead to significant sorrow for him<ref>Shuichi didn't inform Akemi he was an FBI agent despite being in love because it might jeopardize his mission (and his relationship). Even though Akemi figured out Shuichi was an FBI agent and wished to leave the Organization and date him seriously, she kept it secret from him either because she was not sure how he would react, or because she thought it could cause him harm. Thus, the infiltration mission was the root cause of their secretkeeping which prevented them from coming up with an exit strategy for Akemi in case the mission failed. The following chain of events led to Akemi's death.</ref> and others.<ref>Shuichi's faked death to save Kir's mission and get her to pass information to the FBI as well demoralized the FBI, especially Jodie. Shuichi's infiltration mission required that he seduce Akemi even though he was dating Jodie at the time. When he fell in love with Akemi for real, Shuichi decided to break it off with Jodie. When justifying his decision to Jodie, he mentioned that he didn't want the onus of loving two women at once, but he also mentioned he thought the "sacrifice" was important to his mission to destroy the Black Organization. This implies that love was not the only factor in Shuichi's decision, he thought choosing Akemi over Jodie would help his mission -- perhaps because he was afraid he would be caught as a spy if anyone discovered his relationship with Akemi was fake. [http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=980&p=16431#p16431]</ref>

Shuichi prefers to plan secretly, and will readily trick his friends and coworkers, even injuring them, if helps the success of his missions.<ref>FBI vs Org, Shuichi didn't tell the rest of the FBI he would cover Kogoro's agency. In Red vs Black, the return Kir plan and the fake death plan were both kept secret from the FBI. He ordered Camel to remove by force if necessary anyone who interfered which resulted in Jodie being knocked out. He later told Kir to hit Camel for real to make her escape look authentic.</ref> Shuichi is often forgiven for these transgressions because his judgment is usually sound and his plans work out well.<ref>In FBI vs Org, Shuichi was forgiven for covering Kogoro without telling his boss and for making the decision on his own to let the Black Organization leave without much resistance because he thought it might lead to a dangerous firefight downtown. In Red vs Black, Shuichi was forgiven after being told off for hiding his secret plan to return Rena to the Org.</ref> Shuichi's secret plans, while strategically robust in the short term, often cause emotional problems for others that he does not fully appreciate.<ref>In particular, his faked death had a major impact on the FBI and [[Jodie Starling]]. [[Bourbon]] was able to take advantage of the emotional confusion surrounding his death to approach the FBI for his own ends. Jodie's sorrow has reduced her effectiveness and led her to blunder into dangerous situations.</ref>

Even though he means well, Shuichi is notably clumsy at trying to comfort and connect with others. As [[Okiya]], his technique to approach [[Haibara]] leaves her terrified of him, and repeated contact only intensifies her loathing. Despite his social awkwardness, Shuichi is not unempathetic; he gives Jodie some hope by leaving her a message in his own handwriting, and leaves her a very roundabout hint about his identity after knocking her down even though he cannot reveal the truth to her yet.

== Appearance ==
Akai is a tall man of Japanese descent with short wavy hair. His trademark features, by which people close to him have identified him are his eyes which have permanent bags underneath them that make him appear sleep deprived. Other characters often describe him as evil eyed or having a sharp gaze. His eyes are blue in the manga (like every other character) and green in the anime. He and [[Masumi Sera]] presumably more closely resemble their mother then their father.
The second trademark feature is his knit cap, which he is always shown wearing. When he was younger he had a grey fedora which Masumi now wears herself. Up to one year ago, he had very long waist length hair, which he cut after the death of Akemi Miyano "to freshen up." Akai is left-handed. He is a heavy smoker and his favorite drink is bourbon.

His outfit is a grey jacket on top of a collared black shirt, black pants, shoes, and his trademark black knit cap.

== Abilities ==
=== Intelligence ===

Akai is capable of thinking on par with Conan. He once set up a sniper ambush at a nearby building, knowing that the Black Organization will come and try to kill Kogoro. He also mentioned that he knew that "making them think the FBI set up the transmitter was the priority." <ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref>

=== Firearms and Sniping ===
Akai, is the most capable sniper shown so far, to the point of shooting a small piece of gum out of Gin's hand from about 700 yards away, which is a lot more than the range of Black Organization's professional snipers [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]. He also managed to get a shot on Gin from the same distance. <ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref>
Akai is good at handling shotguns as well; he accurately shot Vermouth from the hip faster than she could aim at him with her pistol.

=== Driving ===
Akai is a skilled driver. He can overtake many cars quickly in heavy traffic conditions and drift around a u-turn.<ref name=420p14>Manga Volume 41, File 7, page 14: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net" </ref> He drives a [[Cars|Chevrolet C1500.]]

== Plot overview ==
=== Bus Jack (Manga: [[Volume_29#Bus_Hijacking_Case|287-289]], Anime: [[The Mysterious Passenger|230-231]]) ===
[[File:Akai First Appearance.PNG|thumb|right|125px|Akai's first appearance on the bus]]
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], and the [[Detective Boys]] board a bus headed to a ski resort. Akai gets on the bus wearing a face mask in order to tail [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Vermouth]] who is disguised as Dr. [[Tomoaki Araide]]. The bus is hijacked by robbers demanding their boss be freed from prison and Conan discovers they must have an accomplice in the back row where Shuichi Akai is sitting. Akai becomes a suspect. After the boss is freed, the robbers call Akai and Araide up to the front to put on the hijackers' ski jackets. Conan ruins the hijackers' plans by directing the bus driver to slam on the brakes, sending the hijackers crashing to the floor. Akai keeps his footing and goes to attack one of the hijackers but is confused when the robber faceplants before he could strike: Conan's tranquilizer dart got him first. The police move in to apprehend the hijackers and Akai watches as Araide accosts Conan for wanting to leave before having the gash on his arm tended. Before moving out, Akai records a message saying he couldn't find Vermouth's target, [[Shiho Miyano]].<ref>It is clear Akai is looking for Shiho Miyano, Vermouth's target, because the FBI already know Araide is Vermouth at this point in time and don't need to look for her.</ref>

=== James Black Kidnapping (Manga: [[Volume_32#Kidnapped_Tourist_Case|325-327]], Anime: [[The Man from Chicago|258-259]]) ===
[[File:Akai's happy face.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Akai leers at the kidnappers.]]
[[James Black]] plans to meet with Akai in a stadium lobby after the Paul & Annie animal circus show. He was unable to meet with Akai at first because he was accosted by reporters thinking he was the show's wealthy sponsor and dragged away from them by the Detective Boys. Akai and James probably haven't met in a while because James doesn't know Akai cut his previously waist length hair. James is then mistakenly kidnapped by criminals who plan to ransom him. Akai, looking for James Black, drives past the Detective Boys. A prior member of the Black Organization, Akai's gaze triggers Haibara's senses, and she whips around asking if Conan saw who was driving the Chevrolet truck.

Somehow, Akai figures out where James is and catches up to the kidnappers' fake police car and begins following it. Akai quickly zooms ahead when Conan and the police arrange for an army of police cars to box in the kidnappers' car to force it to stop. Akai drives by Agasa's car and looks in, and Conan shields Haibara from his view. In the confusion of the aftermath, James leaves with Akai before he could be questioned by police. James retells the events of the kidnapping and asks if Akai brought him to Japan to "make (Akai's) lover come back to (Akai)" Akai affirms this and says that he wants "his lover (koibito) to regret they ever left me with tears of blood."<ref name=327p18>Manga Volume 32, File 10, page 18: "A Stupid Plan"</ref>. Akai's "lover" is a reference to the ironic codename he gave Gin: "koibito" meaning lover. He later makes Gin cry the foretold tears of blood when Akai's bullet grazes Gin's cheek in the events of "Black Impact".

=== Conan's suspicion and Ran's memory ===
Conan suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the director's morning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. After the bus jack, [[Haibara]] tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is Shuichi Akai whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name=291p11>Manga Volume 29, File 7, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"</ref> Conan recognizes Akai in the James Black kidnapping case.<ref name=P&A>Manga Volume 32, File 9-11: "The Man from Chicago"</ref> Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of Akai investigating them when one of the suspects says he saw someone wearing a black beanie (really [[Makoto]]).<ref name=332p15>Manga Volume 33, File 4, Page 15: "The Bloody Valentine 2"</ref>

==== Sato's Matchup (Manga: [[Volume_32#Sato.27s_Omiai_Case|328]]-[[Volume_33#Sato.27s_Omiai_Case|330]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4|253-254]]) and Bloody Valentine (Manga: [[Volume_33#Valentine_Chocolate_Case|331-334]], Anime: [[The Truth Behind Valentine's|266-268]]) ====
Ran notices Akai leave the restaurant where [[Miwako Sato]] was having her [[Wikipedia:Miai|miai]] with officer [[Shiratori]]. Akai had come to check on on Dr. Araide who is really Vermouth in disguise. Ran realizes she met him somewhere once before, but she cannot remember where.<ref name=329p14>Manga Volume 33, File 1, page 14: "Satou's Odds"</ref> Later, at a chocolate-making cottage, one of the suspects says he shot at a tall man wearing a black beanie thinking he was a bear. Ran says she might know the person in the black knitted hat and Conan wonders if she means Akai.<ref name=333p2>Manga Volume 33, File 5, Page 2: "The Bloody Valentine 3"</ref> He later starts to ask her about it, but changes his mind mid-sentence.<ref name=337p17>Manga Volume 33, File 9, Page 17: "Life of a Flower"</ref>

==== The Life of a Flower (Manga: [[Volume_33#Missing_Watch_Case|335-337]], Anime: [[The Forgotten Memento from the Crime|269-270]]) ====
[[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name=336p9>Manga Volume 33, File 8, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"</ref> Conan begins to wonder who the target is and first suspects Akai may be behind the incident because of the timing. He wonders if Akai is a Black Organization member. He tries calling the Mouri Detective Agency, but nobody picks up. When Conan rushes back, he finds the items in the kitchen left unsupervised and the television on. Just when Conan begins to fear that Akai has taken care of Ran and Kogoro, he is relieved to find out that Ran had only gone out to buy meat. He again tries to ask Ran whether she she knows Akai, but changes his mind by shifting his sentence, thinking there is no way Ran would know a guy like Akai. Unknown to Conan, Akai is staking out the Mouri Detective Agency.<ref name=337p18>Manga Volume 33, File 9, Page 18: "Life of a Flower"</ref>

=== The Rotten Apple Case (Manga: [[Volume_34#Golden_Apple_Case|350]]-[[Volume_35#Golden_Apple_Case|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]]) ===
[[Image:Shuuichi_Akai_long_hair.jpg|thumb|right|210|Shuichi Akai in New York with his longer hair.]] One year prior to the current timeline, Shinichi, Ran, [[Yukiko]], Akai, and Vermouth are in America. After leaving Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran at the theater, Sharon Vineyard, aka, Vermouth, disguises as a silver haired serial killer to lure out Shuichi Akai and kill him. Vermouth underestimates Akai and he shoots her in the side. Vermouth escapes, but Akai continues to look for her. During the search, Akai encounters a crying Ran who is waiting in the rain by a taxi for Shinichi to return. The taxi driver and Ran both initially mistake Akai for the serial killer, and the taxi drives off leaving Ran behind. Akai asks Ran if she saw a man with long silver hair. One of Akai's colleagues comes up to ask Akai if he found the serial killer and Ran sees the FBI logo on his jacket. Akai grabs her elbow to take her from the area, but she resists because Shinichi is still around. Akai harshly orders Ran to leave the area as it is dangerous.<ref>Manga Chapter 354: Golden Apple 5</ref>

=== Meeting with Ran (Manga: [[Volume_37#Footsteps_of_Darkness|379-380]], Anime: [[The Dark Footprint|308]]-[[Contact with the Black Organization|309]]) ===
[[File:Ran_and_Akai_meet.jpg|thumb|right|Ran and Akai meet coincidentally in the street.]]Conan and Ran are walking home from the Itakura case. Ran talks to Conan about how it is hard waiting for Shinichi to return and begins to cry. They approach a phone booth and Akai steps out. Ran and Akai recognize one another.
{{Cquote|Akai: You are crying again... You are always crying. Ran: Is it wrong? Akai: No. ... I was just remembering. You remind me of a woman... One who was always crying in the dark trying to sound casual, a stupid woman.|The conversation between Akai and Ran at the phonebooth|Manga Chapter 380: "White Snow, Black Shadow"}}
Conan is surprised Ran and Akai seem to know each other and asks Ran who Akai is. Ran replies with the story of her meeting with Akai in New York. She mentions she saw him with a man with in an FBI jacket. Akai has walked away in the meanwhile and Conan loses sight of him. Conan is surprised at this new information and wonders what the FBI could be doing in Japan. He also considers the possibility that Shuichi Akai is a Black Organization spy in the FBI and killed the serial killer in New York and might be involved with Haibara's past.

=== Seeing Haibara and tailing the Detective Boys ===
==== Contact with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume_38#Footsteps_of_Darkness|383]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|311]]) ====
Haibara finds Conan passed out in a locker at Kenbashi Station. As they leave, Akai sees Haibara close up and immediately recognizes her. Akai's focus caused Haibara to sense his presence and she spins around in fear, but he has already retreated and she doesn't catch sight of him.

==== Following Yukiko (Manga: [[Volume_41#Dark_and_Cluttered_Room_Case|417-419]], Anime [[Secret of the Tohto Film Development Studio|335-336]]) ====
Shuichi Akai, suspicious that Haibara is Shiho, asks two subordinates to follow [[Yukiko]] who is driving the Detective Boys to a film studio to see a preview showing of [[Kamen Yaiba]]. The two people take several pictures, one of which Akai keeps in his truck after this. Conan and Yukiko notice the two are following. They continue to wait in the film developer's parking lot until Takagi asks them if they have been drinking at Conan's request. They report to Akai that they are unable to follow any more. Akai looks at the newly developed pictures they gave to him and he thinks Haibara's resemblance to Shiho Miyano is too similar to ignore.

==== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume_41#Four_Porsches_Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ====
While driving, Akai sees Conan on TV broadcast waiting in line to get porridge. He quickly heads towards the direction of the shopping center where Conan is. When he arrives, a murder had already been committed in the underground parking lot and the police have arrived. Agasa calls Araide to pick up Haibara, and Akai overhears the conversation through the bugs planted in Araide's office. He follows Jodie and Araide to Agasa's house and waits out front listening in to the bugs Jodie just planted at Agasa's.

=== Showdown with Vermouth (Manga: [[Volume_42#Halloween_Party_Case|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===
[[File:Akai with shotgun.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Akai shoots Vermouth to protect himself and Jodie]]
Conan and Jodie confront Vermouth and reveal her disguise. During the confrontation, Jodie is shot by [[Calvados]], a sniper who was hidden on some shipping crates. Calvados also attempts to shoot Ran who rushed to Haibara in order to shield her from the gunfire. Akai, unseen, sneaks from behind and disables Calvados, silently breaking both his legs and taking his rifle, shotgun, and three pistols. Akai walks around the shipping crates towards Jodie and Vermouth's location. Vermouth mistakes the incoming footsteps for Calvados and orders him to kill Jodie. Vermouth is shocked when it is Akai who walks into view. Akai then begins provoking Vermouth:
{{Cquote|Akai: Well, Calvados is a distilled liquor of apples... where he goes perfectly for the accomplice of the rotten apple. Vermouth: Rotten apple? Akai: That's our codename for you. The famous actress who bathed in the limelight was the golden apple of the stage. Your beauty is the same as before but... inside your heart has become a wilted rotten apple|Akai insulting Vermouth|Manga Volume 42, File 10 , pg 10}}

Provoked by his remark, Vermouth attempts to shoot him, but Akai fires the shotgun first into her flak jacket, breaking several of her ribs and tearing Vermouth's face slightly which proves that she isn't wearing a mask. To escape, Vermouth grabs the unconscious Conan as a hostage and roars away in Jodie's car. To prevent them from following, she aims with the side mirror and shoots Araide's car's gas tank, causing it to explode
{{Cquote|Akai: To shoot the gasoline tank using the mirror and with that body is... not bad. Jodie: What are you being impressed for!? She just got away with a hostage!|Jodie and Akai's conversation about Vermouth's getaway with [[Conan]] as a hostage|Manga Volume 42 , File 10 , pg 12}}
Akai comments that they at least have her accomplice Calvados, but at that moment, Calvados commits suicide with a pocket pistol that Akai overlooked. Akai hears the police sirens and tells Jodie to make up a story about randomly getting involved in a kidnapping case. Akai's parting words to Jodie are that he still isn't ready to face Haibara, likely referring to his use of Haibara's sister, [[Akemi Miyano]], to infiltrate the Black Organization which resulted in her being killed when they uncovered that he was a spy.

=== Black Impact (Manga: [[Volume_48#Black_Organization_vs._FBI|499]]-[[Volume_49#Black_Organization_vs_FBI|504]], Anime: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|425]]) ===
[[Image:Akai sniping.jpg|thumb|left|Akai with a sniper rifle aiming at the Black Organization 700 yards away.]]
Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan help newscaster [[Rena Mizunashi]] with a door bell prank case. In order to catch the prankster, Conan sticks a bug and microphone wrapped in gum outside the door. The case is solved, but Conan forgets the bug and it gets stuck on Rena's shoe. Unfortunately Conan discovers Rena is a member of the Black Organization, [[Kir]], and she is participating in an [[Black Organization#Domon Yasudera|assassination mission]]. Conan has to retrieve the tracker before the Black Organization notices and suspects that Kogoro planted it. Jodie Starling contacts Akai and tells him about the predicament, but doesn't say what he will do to help. James Black comments that Akai was always the reticent type, but has closed up even more since the death of his girlfriend (later revealed to be [[Akemi Miyano]]).

After hearing a lot of static on their radios, Gin looks for the cause of the interference and finds Conan's tracker on Kir's shoe which had been left in his car when she changed clothes. With the boss's approval, Gin abandons the original assassination plans and heads towards the Mouri Detective Agency to kill Kogoro. Conan stops Kogoro from being assassinated, but Gin still has Conan's tracker which has his fingerprints on it. As Gin holds it up for a closer look, it is shot out from between his fingers by Akai who had set up with a sniper rifle on a building 700 yards away.
[[Image:Gin sniped.jpg|thumb|right|Gin is shot by Akai.]]
Gin, perhaps anticipating who would be responsible, grabs Korn's rifle and uses it to locate Shuichi Akai. At this time, Akai fires a bullet that passes through Gin's scope and grazes his left cheek causing it to bleed. At this time Akai says "we finally meet, my lovely, lovely koibito-san".<ref name=504p14>Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 14: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref> Gosho Aoyama uses a Japanese literary device to give the word "koibito" a double meaning. Japanese in Detective Conan includes the pronunciation, called "[[wiki:furigana|furigana]]", in [[wiki:hiragana|hiragana]] next to the [[wiki:kanji|kanji]]. Normally the furigana matches the word in the kanji; however, Gosho Aoyama used the kanji for "old enemy" (宿敵), but the furigana for "koibito" (こいびと), giving Akai's word a double meaning. The true meaning of what Akai meant is "old enemy", but what he said out loud was the furigana "koibito". Akai had ironically nicknamed Gin "loved one" despite thinking of him as his arch enemy. By grazing Gin's cheek, Akai fulfilled his promise he made at the end of the James Black Kidnapping to make his "lover" bleed tears of blood.

Akai then fired twice into Gin's bullet proof vest to encourage him to leave quietly, purposefully avoiding killing Gin although he was capable of finishing him. Akai's stated reason for letting Gin and the rest of the Black Organization members go was to avoid having a gunfight erupt in the middle of Beika city where innocent people might be injured.<ref name=504p17>Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 17: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref> Despite Gin's reservations, Akai also successfully made the Black Organization think that the FBI was behind the tracker, and that Kogoro had been the bait to draw them into Akai's range.

=== Red vs. Black (Manga: [[Volume_57#Fake_Patient_Case|595]]-[[Volume_59#Foreign_Suspect_Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-504]]) ===
Eventually, following the capture of Organization member [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]], Akai was introduced to Conan, and the two worked on a plan to re-introduce Rena, who was in fact a CIA mole, back into the ranks of the Organization. One condition of her reintegration, however, was that she should personally kill Akai, who had been declared the Organization's most dangerous enemy. Mizunashi lured him to an isolated spot for a meeting and shot him at point-blank range before incinerating his truck with a bomb.

==== The Fake Patient (Manga: [[Volume_57#Fake_Patient_Case|595]]-[[Volume_58#Fake_Patient_Case|598]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-497]]) ====
After hearing that [[Eisuke]] has zeroed in on Haido Central Hospital after finding a clue, Conan and Jodie discuss [[Ethan Hondou]]. Jodie says Akai verified Ethan Hondou was a CIA agent. Conan asks Ran more about the clue Eisuke found and discovers that it was someone dialing the [[Anokata|Black Organization's boss's phone number]]. Jodie reports to Akai that a member of the Black Organization has infiltrated the hospital. Akai takes the news in stride and goes to Rena's room. He already suspects Rena is a member of the CIA as well, and wants to use her to gain more leverage against the Organization.

Conan asks one of the nurses about Eisuke and she tells Conan about a different patient, a member of the Black Organization, who had asked about Rena Mizunashi. Akai seems pleased to hear the news, and thinks it is a good opportunity to add a second lead. The FBI gets profiles of three patients most likely to be the Black Organization member and Conan films them. Akai and Conan both correctly deduce the member of the Black Organization hiding in the hospital is [[Kusuda Rikumichi]]. The FBI watch Kusuda, but get caught and he threatens to blow up a bomb. Kusuda escapes in a car with Akai and Conan in hot pursuit. After realizing it is Akai who is chasing him, Kusuda commits suicide. Akai knows that now Kusuda's reports have stopped, the Black Organization will know Rena is at the Haido Central Hospital and plan a counter-attack.

==== The Black Organization's counterattack (Manga: [[Volume_58#Kir_Transport_Case|599-605]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|498-503]]) ====
The FBI hold a meeting and decide that they have to move Kir now that the Black Organization knows she is at Haido Central Hospital. Akai proposes that the best idea is to set a trap for the Organization by allowing them to come after Kir and then ambushing them. Akai heads to the roof alone to think of a plan. Conan takes the opportunity to ask James Black about Akai's past. James reveals that Akai wants revenge for his girlfriend who was killed by the Organization. Akai had infiltrated the Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi by dating Miyano Akemi in order to get close to a [[Sherry|high ranking scientist]], feed information to the FBI, and hopefully learn the identity of [[anokata|the boss]].<ref>Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past</ref> Dai earned the codename "Rye" and was called to work for [[Gin]], but the FBI bungled the plan to capture Gin, so Akai was discovered and expelled from the Organization. James Black further explains that the Organization wanted to get rid of Akemi too, but couldn't because her sister was too valuable to them. The Organization came up with a plan to have Akemi perform [[Volume_2#File_013_-_The_Missing_Man|a billion yen bank heist]] as an excuse to kill her when she failed. Contrary to the Org's expectations, Akemi succeeded but was killed by Gin regardless. Akai has kept the last text message from Akemi asking if Akai will date her for real if she leaves the Organization. There is a further P.S. that has not been revealed.

Conan and Akai meet on the roof and exchange plans. Their first move is to get Kir's cooperation. Akai and Conan trick the FBI officers on guard to leave Kir's room which provides an opportunity for Eisuke to sneak in and "wake the sleeping princess". With Eisuke's provocation, Kir stops pretending that she is unconscious. Conan and Akai enter the room, and Akai escorts Eisuke out so that they can convince Kir to return to Organization. Akai and Conan answer Kir's questions about how they found out she was a CIA agent and she fills them in on her past. Kir agrees to their plan to trick the Organization and promises to funnel information back to the FBI as well. Akai calls [[Andre Camel]] to help with their secret plan which requires also fooling the FBI who don't yet know Kir is a CIA agent.

The FBI plans to put Rena in one of three vans and trick the Organization into chasing one of the decoys while the van with Kir in it is driven by Camel back to hospital. Meanwhile, the Organization launches their counterattack. They cause three separate accidents nearby to flood the hospital with people and then give them gifts with small bombs hidden inside. Akai suspects they may be trying to kill Kir by detonating the bombs and collapsing the hospital. Akai and the FBI collect the bombs from the innocent patients, but are startled when the TV starts airing an announcement from Mizunashi Rena in the hospital. Akai and Conan realize the bombs have tracking devices embedded in them, but they aren't fast enough to stop the rest of the FBI agents from going to Kir's room.

With the location of Kir's room exposed, the FBI launch the three van plan without delay. Akai in his Chevrolet follows one of the vans from a distance and he is eventually found by Vermouth who had been assigned by the boss to look for him. Gin correctly deduces which van Kir is in and recaptures her all according to Conan and Akai's plan. The FBI are at first very dismayed they failed, but then Akai explains the plan to them and that they were left out of the loop in order to make the Organization believe they were not set up. Gin, however, is suspicious that Akai didn't interfere more strongly when they recaptured Kir and that Akai may have something else up his sleeve.

==== Death at Raiha Pass (Manga: [[Volume_58#Foreign_Suspect_Case|605-609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|501-504]]) ====
Gin is suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Akai didn't make a strong move. Gin thinks Akai is still hiding something and that doubt is relayed to [[anokata|the boss]] who plans a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. Akai is somewhat amused at the predicament, and Jodie plans to go to Andre Camel and bail him out. As Jodie leaves, Akai calls out to her and says he has a bad feeling about today, and that she should be careful. Jodie notes it is Friday the thirteenth.

The Black Organization takes advantage of the distraction provided by Andre Camel's murder case, and Gin meets with Kir and conveys [[anokata|the boss's]] ultimatum: Kir must kill Akai in order to regain the Organization's trust. Gin explains that Kir will call out Akai with the excuse that she wants to flee the country because the Organization is pressuring her after she was caught by the FBI. Akai will take the bait if Kir says she will give him good information. When she meets with him alone, Kir will kill Akai while wearing a camera and bug. Gin will be watching out of range of Akai's acute sense for traps. With Gin's gun at her back, Kir calls Akai.

At the murder case, Jodie meets up with Camel and their discussion turns to Camel's mistake which caused Akai to be rejected from the Organization two years ago. Camel explains that Akai had just been promoted, and the FBI planned to capture Gin who was set to meet with Akai. The FBI hid in the warehouse waiting for Gin, but instead an old man walked in and sat down. Akai ignored the old man, but Camel came out from hiding and told the old man to leave. The old man turned out to be a member of the Organization, and Gin never showed. This lead to a chain of events leading to Akai's girlfriend [[Miyano Akemi]]'s death almost two years later. Camel, who felt most responsible, felt obligated to take the role of driver for the plan to return Kir.

Meanwhile Akai, sitting in his truck, remembers some of the last moments he had with Akemi. Akai revealed to her that he was an FBI agent. She seemed to already know, prompting Akai to desperately ask her why she didn't get away from him. Akemi's simple tearful reply was, "Can't you tell without asking?" Akai is brought back to present by [[James Black]] telling him that his phone is ringing. Kir is on the other end, and relays Gin's concocted story and asks to meet Akai alone. James's impression is that the meeting with Rena is likely a trap and that Akai shouldn't go. Akai confidently says that he is sure his sixth sense will work and that he will trust Rena to have some way out of the situation. James starts to call Jodie as support but, the confidently grinning Akai stops James from dialing and asks for his trust. The meeting location is set at 19:00 at the seventh left curve of Raiha falls and Akai heads out.

[[Image:Kir_kills_Akai.jpg|thumb|right|200|Kir kills the 'Silver-bullet'.]]
Akai arrives at the meeting place where Kir is waiting from the other side after scouting out ahead. Kir shoots Akai in the lung as Gin and Vodka watch from across the gorge via Kir's collar camera. Blood trickling from his mouth, Akai turns and sees their Porsche and smirks to himself. Kir tells Gin he will die soon from the lung shot, but Gin orders that Kir makes his death certain by shooting Akai in the head. As Kir walks up to him, Akai seems to accept his impending doom with great calm.<ref>Manga Chapters 605-608: Foreign Suspect Case</ref> He calmly remarks that he didn't think that she would go this far, to which she agrees. Kir shoots Akai in the forehead, with blood cascading from both sides of his head. Akai collapses in the front seat of his truck. At that moment the police on the way to an accident begin to approach and Gin orders Kir to place a bomb and blow Akai's truck up with the body. Kir plants the bomb and leaves. It detonates just as the police pass by. The ensuing explosion and fire destroys most of the body but the right hand fingerprints survive.

Jodie and Camel leave the murder case as the police finish wrapping it up return the the hospital where the FBI meet. James announces that Kir set up a meeting alone with Akai and the a news program begins reporting on a truck that exploded with a body inside whose right hand fingerprints remain intact. Jodie wonders if it is Akai, and takes Conan's phone which Akai had touched earlier with his right hand to the police. The fingerprint results are a match, Jodie reports the news to James and then breaks down crying. James remarks that they can't blame Rena Mizunashi for this as she had warned them. He sadly comments that with Akai, they managed to drive a wedge of steel in the Black Organization, but his death was a price far too big.

===== Faked Death? =====
{{main|Akai faked his death theory}}
Several abnormalities surrounding Akai's death invite the possibility that Akai faked his death with Conan and Mizunashi Rena's help. Inconsistent details like disappearing blood trails are evidence Akai's body was tampered with by someone other than Kir, and Conan's reaction to the news of Akai's death is suspiciously subdued. The theory is that Akai's death was faked by using blank cartridges and blood packets with small detonators to simulate gunshots. When Kir moves to the front of Akai's truck to prepare the bomb, it creates a gap of time where Gin and Vodka cannot see Akai's body with Kir's camera. At this time, Akai switches places with [[Rikumichi Kusuda]]'s body which had been dressed up beforehand to look like Akai. Akai escapes the truck before it explodes. Meanwhile Conan's will loan Jodie Starling one of his identical cellphones which has Rikumichi's fingerprints on it. She will think they are Akai's and when she goes to validate the identity of the body with the police, it will match Rikumichi's fingerprints and she will be fooled into thinking Akai died. Incidentally, "Reiha Pass" also sounds a lot like "Raihenbahha" which is the Japanese pronunciation of "Reichenbach", the fall where Holmes fell off together with Moriarty but survived.

Akai reveals Bourbon's real name to be Rei Furuya, and deduces that he had been planning to use Akai's capture to get a higher position in the Organization. Because of this, Akai warns him not to lose sight of their real prey and that he didn't want to have Bourbon as his enemy. Akai then expresses his regret to Bourbon about an incident involving a specific person. Akai plans to return to his Okiya Subaru persona in order to continue to protect Haibara.

==== Akemi Miyano ====
Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano were lovers while he was infiltrating the [[Black Organization]]. Akai's original mission was to date Akemi Miyano in order to meet Shiho Miyano. Akai used Shiho's influence to gain rank in the Organization, intending to become trusted enough to meet with high level agents so the FBI could capture one for questioning. As [[James Black]] later recalls, although Akai's relationship with Akemi was merely a stepping stone, Akai actually fell in love with Akemi, and considered her his real girlfriend. Because of this he broke up with [[Jodie Starling]].

[[Image:Akemi's Text Message.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The last text message Akemi had sent Shuichi, before her death.]]
Sometime later, Akemi develops the suspicion that Akai really wasn't who he claimed to be. After Akai's expulsion, he confirms that he is an FBI agent to her. To Akai's surprise, Akemi doesn't seemed surprised by this, so Akai asks her why she never said anything about her suspicions that she was being used by him before, and Akemi hints it is because she loves him. Initially, the Organization couldn't do anything about Akemi because they needed the loyalty of her sister, but two years later they decided that the risk of her contact with Akai was too much. They decided to create a situation where they could eliminate her by having her do a bank heist she was supposed to fail. Sometime near the day of the heist, Akemi sent Akai a long text message, asking him if he wants to be her real boyfriend when she is finally free from the Organization. After the heist, Akemi is killed by [[Gin]], and it is unknown how Akai responded if at all. Akai treasures her final text message, and keeps it in his phone many months after Akemi's death. The message also contains a P.S. which has not been revealed yet.

How Akemi and Akai met in the manga is unknown, but in the anime, Shuichi Akai originally met Akemi by an intentional accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he deliberately walked into the street in front of her in order to be hit by her.<ref>Episode 497</ref> Akemi was concerned, and helped take him to the hospital, watching over him until he was better. When he woke up, he felt no anger over what she did, and even asked for her name, to which a very flustered Akemi replied, while he told her his fake name: Dai Moroboshi. After this they began dating.

==== Jodie Starling ====
While Jodie and Akai's relationship had been viewed as mere colleagues, it is revealed later on in the series that Jodie and Akai had dated before about 5 years prior. However, after Akai infiltrated the Black Organization under the alias of Dai Moroboshi, he started dating Akemi Miyano in hopes of using her to attain information about the Black Organization. Despite this, Akai ended up falling in love with Akemi, leading him to break up with Jodie, stating that, "To be able to love two women at the same time…it’s not that handy a personality."<ref name="677p5">Manga [[Volume 65]], File 3 (677), pg 5: "The fated individual"</ref> In spite of the break-up, Jodie still held strong feelings for Akai which never wavered as time passed and took his apparent death at Kir's hands especially hard, to the point of being reduced to tears.

====James Black====
[[James Black]] is the boss of [[FBI]] agents and [[Akai]] too.

====Andre Camel====
[[Andre Camel]] worked with [[Shuichi Akai]] before when he was an agent in the [[Black Organization]] and they meet together again in [[Clash of Red and Black]].

==== Ai Haibara ====
When Haibara first met Akai, she thought he was a member of the Black Organization. Akai seems to know of Haibara's identity. Haibara knows him as Dai Moroboshi, her sister's boyfriend who betrayed the Organization.<ref>Manga Chapter 802</ref> Haibara should know Dai was a spy and FBI agent, after hearing an exchange between Bourbon and Kaitou Kid through a microphone<ref>Manga Chapter 824,[http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b40277b84692b54c491654534be7ccf/tumblr_mpc528w9hS1qfn9zio1_r1_500.png]</ref>, but she does not know him by the name Shuichi Akai. He made a promise with a certain woman to look after Haibara's welfare.<ref>Manga [[Volume 77]], Files 3-5 (809-811)</ref>

==== Conan Edogawa ====
Akai and Conan are capable of thinking on par with one another. In the short time they have worked together, Akai has come to respect Conan's intellect and deductive skills. He is also aware that [[Conan]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]] are really one and the same person <ref>Manga [[Volume 77]], File 813 p.16 and File 814 p.3 </ref>. There is further speculation amongst fans that Akai has figured out that Ai was formerly Sherry and (more than likely) learned about her research for the Black Organization and the two possible effects of [[APTX 4869]].

==== Masumi Sera ====
[[Masumi Sera]] is [[Akai]]'s younger sister.

==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}
Shuichi Akai and Gin are rivals and hate one another. It is implied that they didn't get along even before Akai was exposed as an undercover FBI agent. Akai refers to Gin as "Koibito", which ironically means 'lover.' Gin killed Akai's love Akemi, so Akai thinks of Gin as his archenemy.

Shuichi Akai and [[Tooru Amuro|Bourbon]] are stated to be enemies. It's been stated that Bourbon hated Akai more than Gin did. Bourbon believed himself to be the only one capable of killing Akai, and refused to believe that Akai was dead. It is unknown how Akai feels about him, but the feeling is likely mutual, though not as extreme on Akai's side.

*In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Akai placed 7th overall with 415 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Akai.gif|image|right|thumb|Gosho Aoyama draws Akai as half of Char on his website]]
Akai's name comes from the [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] character [[wikipedia:Char Aznable|Char Aznable]], whose nickname was the "'''Red (Akai)''' Comet", and Char's voice actor [[Shuichi Ikeda|'''Shuichi''' Ikeda]] (who is also Akai's voice actor). Additionally, his alias, Dai Moroboshi, comes from Char's real name, Casval Rem '''Deikun''' (sounds like '''Dai-kun''' in Japanese). '''Moroboshi''' can also mean ''falling star'', another possible allusion to ''Red Comet''.<ref>In Moroboshi (諸星), the first kanji can be broken up into 言者 which when pronounced as げんしゃ (gensha) sounds very similar to the word for "phenomenon" (genshou). The second character (星) means "star". Moroboshi, read as "Star phenomenon" references falling stars or maybe comets. </ref>

Takefumi Kooriyama's death was an '''accident'''. The death characters were coincidental flukes made by candies and a thumb edge in Kooriyama's case, and coins, the edge of a wallet, and a cigarette in Isao's case. Megure correctly ruled '''Isao's case''' to be a '''theft''' as some thieves stole Isao's wallet post-mortem. The thieves returned to the crime scene and attacked Sera, Ran, Sonoko, and Conan to cover their involvement in the theft. A little Jeet Kun Do, karate, and a well placed soccer ball dispatched the thieves easily. Sera's thoughts at the end of the episode seem to indicate she knows something about Shinichi's past.

Akai's fake death technique

2014-05-14T18:48:16Z

Catstorm:

At the end of [[Clash of Red and Black]], [[Shuichi Akai]] appears to have been killed by [[Rena Mizunashi]]. One of the most popular fan theories is that Akai faked his death with Rena Mizunashi's and [[Conan]]'s help. This theory article compiles clues and logical arguments that some fans believe show how Akai could have plausibly faked his death.

The basic summary of the plan to fake Shuichi Akai's death is that Rena Mizunashi will meet Akai and will pretend to shoot him. To make it look realistic, [[wiki:Blank (cartridge)|blank cartridges]] and blood packets with [[wiki:Squib_(explosive)|small detonators]] will be used. Akai will pretend to die and fall down in the truck. When Rena is fiddling with the small bomb, Akai places [[Rikumichi Kusuda]]'s body in his place. He exits the truck when Kir leaves. Meanwhile [[Jodie Starling]] will have the one of Conan's two cellphones that has Rikumichi's fingerprints on it. She will think they are Akai's and when she goes to validate the identity of the body with the police, it will match Rikumichi's fingerprints and she will be fooled into thinking Akai died.

==Background==
After the events of [[Clash of Red and Black]], [[Gin]] is suspicious of how easy it was to recover [[Rena Mizunashi]] from the FBI and that [[Shuichi Akai]] didn't make a strong move. Gin thinks Akai is still hiding something and that doubt is relayed to the boss who plans a test of Kir's loyalty. Gin meets with Kir and conveys [[anokata|the boss's]] ultimatum: Kir must kill Akai in order to regain the Black Organization's trust. Akai and Kir meet at Raiha pass where Rena shoots Akai twice and blows up the truck with his body inside; however several abnormalities surrounding the circumstances of Akai's death invite the possibility that Akai faked his death with [[Conan]] and Mizunashi Rena's help.

==Initial Planning==
[[Image:Conan 2 phones smaller 425.jpg‎|thumb|left|100px|Conan's two identical cell phones which will be used to trick Jodie.]]
[[Image:Rikumichi Kusuda 2.jpg‎|thumb|right|150px|Rikumichi Kusuda whose cadaver will be Akai's body double.]]
After the death of Black Organization agent [[Rikumichi Kusuda]], [[Shuichi Akai]] and [[Conan]] went to talk to [[Rena Mizunashi]] after getting [[Eisuke Hondou]] to "wake her up". They speak with her about sneaking her back into the [[Black Organization]], received her promise to cooperate, and they began to formulate a plan on how to reimplant Rena without the Black Organization rejecting her. At that point, Akai figured that the return Rena plan would make the Black Organization's recovery of Rena seem suspiciously easy, so the Black Organization wouldn't trust Rena and would require her to do some task to regain the boss's trust. Akai, who has experience in the Black Organization and knows how they think<ref name=600p7>Manga File 600 pg 7, All or nothing...</ref>, guessed the requested test of loyalty might be to kill him, so he decided to prepare appropriately to be safe. This would be the time frame when the plan to fake Akai's death was formulated.

At their disposal were three important articles: One is Rikumichi's body which will be used as Akai's body double. Presumably the [[FBI]] kept the body and the car for investigation because [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], [[Wataru Takagi|Detective Takagi]], and the news say nothing about a body matching Rikumichi's description during the Shiranpuri case later.<ref>Volume 58</ref> Both officers are in the homicide division, and they would probably be called to investigate any case involving a gunshot to the head, even if looked like a suicide. Akai or one of the following FBI agents either transferred the body to their vehicle or drove Rikumichi's car with the body in it to somewhere less conspicuous. 
Items two and three are Conan's two identical phones, one with Rikumichi's fingerprints on it from when Conan got him to pick it up back when he was trying to determine which of three patients was the Black Organization operative.<ref name=597p14>Manga Volume 51 File 11 page 14, The Fake Patient</ref> The phones will be used to trick the FBI later into thinking Rikumichi's fingerprints are Akai's.
{{clearleft}}

==Conan and Akai's preparations: Setting up the phone trick and Akai's body double==
[[Image:Akai with Conan's cell.jpg‎|thumb|right|150px|Akai takes one of Conan's cellphones with his right hand during an FBI strategy meeting where Jodie was present.]]
In the hospital during the FBI planning meeting, Akai makes a show of taking Conan's phone (not the one with Rikumichi's fingerprints) with his RIGHT hand.<ref name=602p10>Manga Volume 58 File 5 pg 10-11, Last Resort</ref> It has to be his right hand because that's the one Rikumichi used to handle the phone,<ref name=597p14/> Akai would normally handle the phone with the other hand because he is left handed. Jodie has this scene imprinted in her head. Meanwhile, either Conan or Akai steals Jodie's phone and causes it to malfunction,<ref name=607p15>Manga Volume 58 file 10 pg 14, Camel's Past</ref> perhaps by dropping it in water like Conan did to Rikumichi's,<ref name=598p14>Manga Volume 58 File 1 pg 14, Pursuit and...</ref> so Conan has the opportunity to loan Jodie the one with Rikumichi's fingerprints on it.<ref name=607p15/> Jodie will assume it was the one Akai handled and be fooled because Conan's phones are identical.<ref name=609pg10>Manga Volume 59 File 1 page 10, Wedge of Steel</ref> 
Sometime before Akai and Rena's meeting, Akai and Conan will abscond with and prepare Rikumichi's body to look somewhat like Akai. The time frame for this could be the night before the strategy meeting after the fake death plan was devised or after Rena was returned to the Black Organization but before she called to meet with Akai.

==Rena and Akai's preparations: Faking the gunshots for the camera==
Before Rena is returned to the Black Organization, she and Akai discuss the timing and the location of the fake gunshots. They decide on the lung and forehead for reasons [[#Rena uses psychological traps to trick Gin|explained later]]. Akai prepares fake blood packets, [[wiki:Squib_(explosive)|small detonators]] for those blood packets, a small remote to detonate them with, and protectors that go between the skin and the detonators. Rena takes [[wiki:Blank (cartridge)|blank cartridges]], likely from the FBI or Yukiko, and hides them on her person since she will be under watch and may be searched by the Black Organization. She might carry a few different calibers for different models of handguns.

A setup like this already happened before in the Kaito Kid and Black Pearl case with [[Sonoko Suzuki]]'s mother and the magician [[List of minor recurring manga characters#Kazumi Sanada|Kazumi Sanada]]<ref name=16f8>Manga Volume 16 file 8</ref>, so it isn’t unprecedented.

Similarly, on the Bell Tree Express, Yukiko brought a special vest for faking Shiho's death.<ref name="823p11">Manga [[Volume 78]], File 6 (823), pg 11: "Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke)"</ref> The vest had several of the components that might have been necessary for faking Akai's death: a bullet-proof vest with a fake blood releasing contraption to make realistic looking gunshots. Yukiko may have been able to supply similar theatrical components to Akai and Kir before she was returned to the Organization the following day.

==Akai and Rena's meeting==
With Akai, Kir, and Conan's prep work done, the FBI plan to return Rena with the vans takes place and Rena successfully returns to the Black Organization, and as predicted is tasked with killing Akai right away.<ref name=606p15>Manga Volume 58, File 9, pg 15: "Friday the 13th"</ref> Akai gets the expected call from Rena. He stops James Black from calling Jodie to prevent the other FBI from interfering with the plan.<ref name=607p12>Manga Volume 58, File 10, pg 12: "Camel's Past"</ref> Akai heads out after loading Rikumichi's body in the backseat of his truck. His model truck probably has a backseat/extended cab because it has rear side windows. He could have also loaded Rikumichi's body in the bed of his truck which was covered<ref name=608p11/> and moved the body to the backseat when he reached Raiha pass before meeting Kir. Meanwhile, Conan passes the phone with Rikumichi's fingerprints off to Jodie.<ref name=607p15/> 
At Raiha Pass, Akai scouts out ahead and drives in from the other side so the car is on the side of the guard rail that has the drop.<ref name=608p11>Manga Volume 58, File 11, pg 11: "Spell of Magic"</ref> Basically, he plans on scrambling out of the detonating truck just like Camel did earlier when returning Rena to the Black Organization.<ref name=604p3>Manga Volume 58, File 7, pg 3: "Older Sister and Younger Brother"</ref> He needs to be on the side with guard rail and the drop for it to work. {{clearleft}}[[Image:Episode 504 German.jpg‎|thumb|left|150px|Akai keeps his right hand hidden in his pocket while Kir shoots him.]]

===Blood packet placement and Akai's strange behavior while getting shot===
When Rena goes to shoot Akai, Akai keeps his right hand in his pocket during the whole ordeal.<ref name=609p2-4>Manga Volume 59, File 1, pgs 2-4: "Wedge of Steel"</ref> That is unnatural, especially after having been shot once; it is more natural to have one hand cover the wound while putting the other in front to protect himself. Akai couldn't do that however, because he had to push the detonator for the blood packets. The shot to the head was above Akai's hat line which makes it possible for a fake blood packet to fit under there.<ref name=609p4>Manga Volume 59, File 1, pg 4: "Wedge of Steel"</ref> As for the bleeding from the mouth, Akai could have bit open a small packet he was carrying inside his mouth or bit his tongue.<ref name=609p4/>

===Disappearing blood trails indicate Akai's body was switched out===
[[Image:Akai bloodtrail before after.jpg|thumb|right|400px|The blood trails on Akai's face disappear and the position of Akai's head changes after Kir prepares the bomb. This indicates Akai's body was switched.]]
After Rena shoots Akai and he falls down in the seat, Akai's face has a blood trail running down it;<ref name=609p4/> later after Rena planted the bomb, the lower half of Akai's face and his body is visible, yet the blood trail is gone. Akai's head is also positioned differently.<ref name=609p5>Manga Volume 59, File 1, pg 5: "Wedge of Steel"</ref> There is no reason for Rena to wipe the blood off Akai's face, nor is she shown doing so. This is direct proof the body was somehow tampered with or switched by someone other than Kir. Furthermore, the body without the blood trail from the mouth has dimples at the corners of the mouth, something that Rikumichi has but Akai does not.

===Rena uses psychological traps to trick Gin===
Rena used psychological traps to trick [[Gin]] into overlooking that she and Akai could have predicted enough details of the assassination plan to concoct a trick. Rena manipulates her conversations with Gin by suggesting possible courses of action and making requests which she already knows will definitely be rejected by him. These rejected requests subconsciously manipulate Gin into falsely assuming that Rena had wanted or planned on having things as she requested and had not anticipated his demands. The result is that Gin fallaciously believes that he was in control and Rena could not have plotted anything in advance. 
The psychological trap was used when Gin told Rena how she was going to kill Akai<ref name=607p3>Manga Volume 58, File 10, pg 3: "Camel's Past"</ref>. Rena suggested alternate options like Gin and company would surround Akai to shoot him, and that she would like some extra time to prepare - both requests Gin denied.<ref name=607p3/> 

Additionally, Rena and Akai planned another psychological trap for Gin with the placement of the gunshots. Rena and Akai decided to pick a fatal- but not quickly so- lung shot for the site of the first “shot”. Rena will then say “that’s good enough, he will die quickly anyway”, but Gin will be sure to object and order her to finish him in the head where it’s certain.<ref name=609p2>Manga Volume 59, File 1, pg 2: "Wedge of Steel"</ref> Rena will then deliver the coup de grâce that Gin ordered. Of course, Rena and Akai knew in advance Gin would ask for a headshot in these circumstances because Gin would not want to leave anything up to chance. The trap is forcing Gin to ask for the shot specifically by himself because it is hard to escape from the fallacious thought that "this couldn’t be planned in advance because I alone specifically asked Kir to shoot Akai in the head with no forewarning."<ref name=702p2-3>Manga Volume 67, File 6, pgs 2-3: "The Bomber's Aim"</ref>

===Conveniently timed police arrive which allows Akai and Kir to avoid additional scrutiny===
[[Image:Kir by hood.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Kir moves to the front of Akai's truck to prepare the bomb, creating a gap of time where [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] cannot see Akai's body with Kir's camera.]]
After Rena delivers the shots, she is interrupted by police heading her way.<ref name=609p5/> They were probably called on purpose to force Gin to order Kir to leave and not examine things more closely. Kir walks over to the hood of Akai's truck to prepare the bomb which means the inside of the truck is not visible.<ref name=609p5/> Akai switches places with Rikumichi's body at this time. Kir places the bomb by the already switched body and leaves, which gives Akai more time to maneuver without the camera watching him. He left his phone in Rikumichi's pocket, and he also put the right hand of the body in the pocket as well to make sure Rikumichi’s right-hand fingerprints survive and can be tested later against Conan’s phone for a match to complete the trick.<ref name=609p6>Manga Volume 59, File 1, pg 6: "Wedge of Steel"</ref> The bomb has the additional effect of destroying Rikumichi’s face and obscuring the powder burn from the self inflicted gunshot wound.

The identity of the accomplices who would have timed the accident is unclear at this point. Agasa and Conan were tied up with the [[Clash of Red and Black|Shiranpuri case]] at the time, so someone else must have been involved. The FBI we have met so far don't seem to know Akai faked his death, so it would have to be someone else whom Akai trusts. Yukiko, who was shown to be working with Akai later, is one possibility. It is also possible the assistants are the two subordinates whom Akai asked to follow Yukiko and the Detective Boys in the [[Secret of the Tohto Film Development Studio|movie pre-screening murder case]].

==Conan checks his phone to see if the plan worked==
After Jodie goes to the police to verify the fingerprints on the phone she borrowed from Conan match the body's prints, she returns his phone and Conan checks it right away. Conan notes the serial number is different which means that the police kept the original phone as evidence, and thus the plan was a success.<ref name=609p15>Manga Volume 59, File 1, pg 15: Wedge of Steel</ref> The reason for Conan's inspection could be that should something not work out properly, the plan would change so that Rena really would kill Akai. If Akai really died, Rikumichi's fingerprints on the phone would not match the dead Akai's and the police would return Conan's original phone. Conan is relieved to see the police kept his phone as evidence and gave him a new phone meaning everything did go according to plan. Later when [[Eisuke Hondou|Eisuke]] tells Conan "it sounds like there is a heavy atmosphere over the FBI, like someone died," Conan smiles to himself and thinks "that is OK" because Conan knows the fake death plan succeeded.<ref name=621p16>Manga Volume 60, File 2, pg 16: Eisuke's Confession</ref>

==Akai keeps the plan secret from his FBI comrades to fool the Black Organization==
The reason the other FBI, including Jodie, were left out of the fake death plan is the same reason why the FBI were also left out of the plan to return Rena with the three vans.<ref name=605p4>Manga Volume 58, File 8, pg 4: Wedge of Steel</ref> Conan, Akai, and Rena needed everyone to react realistically to Akai's death. This wound up being a good idea because Vermouth checked out Jodie and James Black.<ref name=609p14>Manga Volume 59, File 1, pg 14: Wedge of Steel</ref>

==Authorial device inspired arguments==
Although not strictly "in-universe" evidence, inductive arguments can be made in light of Aoyama Gosho's recurring literary devices and authorial tendencies.

===No multi-case character has ever died in Detective Conan===
Excluding than Akai's apparent death, [[Gosho Aoyama]] has never killed off any character who has been in more than one case, much less a protagonist. The closest situation was the flashback to the death of [[Jinpei Matsuda]] in "The Trembling Police Headquarters" arc,<ref name=Matsuda>Manga Volume 36 Files 5-11, Volume 37 File 1: Trembling Police Headquarters</ref> but it was stated he died at the outset. Gosho Aoyama has had 650 chapters to set a precedent.

===Raiha Pass is a reference to Reichenbach Falls===
The place name '''Raiha Pass''', the location where Akai supposedly died, is derived from '''Reichenbach Falls''', the location where Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty apparently fell to their deaths at the end of ''The Final Problem''. It is later revealed that Sherlock survived the fall, but decided to fake his own death and go into hiding in order to protect himself from Moriarty's henchmen.

==Bourbon also believes that Akai is still alive==
===File: 894 - Scarlet Suspicion===
It is revealed that the murder in this case was intended to be staged by Bourbon and Vermouth to gather information from the FBI. Vermouth, disguised as Jodie, receives information from Agent Camel that Rikumichi Kusuda committed suicide. Bourbon finds this information interesting...

===Bourbon's Theory===
If Rikumichi Kusuda committed suicide, he would shoot himself in the head. Even if his body was to be burnt, the evidence would remain.
Around the time they stopped receiving intel from Kusuda, another person was shot in the head and then burnt. They were able to identify the body as the fingerprints matched those found on Conan's phone. Why were they able to get fingerprints from a burnt corpse? Vermouth claims that "he's that kind of guy," meaning that he would shoot a shotgun with one hand while the other is in his fireproof trouser pocket. Bourbon believes that Shuichi Akai intended the hand to be found so that the fingerprints could be compared and his death could be confirmed. Vermouth claims that the video that was secretly recorded from Kir's hidden camera shows that this wasn't staged; she believes that those lines that were spoken by Akai cannot be scripted. Though Bourbon's full reasoning has yet to be revealed, Bourbon is very aware that Conan plays a big role in this façade.

===File: 895 - Scarlet Interrogation ===
Bourbon deduces that the trick to Akai's death was a simple body switch. The fingerprints on Conan's phone were indeed Rikumichi's and the reason why Akai's fingerprints didn't show up on the phone was because he laced his fingertips with glue. This is also the reason why his hand slipped while holding his coffee. Bourbon also deduces that Kir was working with Akai to fake his death. Bourbon hypothesizes that Akai was given a device by Professor Agasa that squirts fake blood when a blank is fired, hence the blood on his head. They also anticipated that Gin would want a headshot as the coup de grace, which would be why they prepared the device beforehand. Bourbon also deduces that Conan was behind this whole plan from Akai's presumed last words. "Who would have thought that it would come to this" was really "who ''besides him'' would have thought it would come to this," with "him" being Conan.


==Problems with this theory==
The gunshot in Rikumichi’s body is through his temple,<ref name=598p16>Manga Volume 58 File 1 pg 16, Pursuit and...</ref> but when Akai “died”, he received a gunshot directly to his forehead from the center. Also Rikumichi didn’t have a lung shot. The second shot could be added later post mortem, but the coroner might be able to tell even with the burning. Only Rena and the Black Organization know that Akai was shot from the front. Only the FBI, Conan, and possibly Rena if told later know that Rikumichi shot himself through the temple. If the Black Organization looked into the police report they might discover the discrepancy, but it is unlikely they would endanger their secrecy sniffing about a police investigation when they saw Akai killed in front of them. Note that the police never mentioned any specifics about the body; they just said there were a many mysteries about it.<ref name=609p12>Manga Volume 59, File 1, pg 12: Wedge of Steel</ref>

The second and perhaps more serious problem is using blanks at a close range. Although blanks lack the bullet part, the weapon will still discharge a cloud of hot gas called [[wiki:muzzle blast|muzzle blast]] that will burn at close range. Also, if the blank has a wad of paper or the like replacing the bullet or if there is shrapnel in the gun, it can be propelled out at high speed and be lethally driven into the body at close ranges. “Crimped blanks” exist which lack a potentially lethal wad, but that would not prevent the muzzle blast. It’s possible that Gosho Aoyama has ignored the actual dangers of blanks for dramatic license; however, the presence of a burn scar on [[Scar Akai]]'s right side of the face could suggest muzzle blasts were actually considered (and if the theory about Scar Akai being another person in disguise is considered, it could also suggest the one preparing the disguise thinks Akai was shot with blanks, therefore having muzzle blast burns in the places where he was shot.)

When Sonoko gets all hyperexcited at Kaito Kid's next notice, Makoto goes to her uncle Jirokichi to safeguard the gem Kid is after to prove his worth to Sonoko. When Jirokichi hears Makoto has '''NEVER''' lost a fight, he uses him to guard the Green Emperor gem. Kid accepts the challenge, and gets close to the gem by posing as Sonoko. Makoto immediately realizes Sonoko is really Kid who tries to escape, but Makoto follows undeterred and Kid admits defeat. Makoto reveals he knew Kid was in disguise because of the finger length difference from the real Sonoko.

When Azusa tries to find the owner of the boy Calico cat Taii, three people claim ownership: an elderly woman, a freeter, and a company president. The woman learns her cat is a girl from Conan; the freeter is a con-man because a calico male is a 1/1000 find valued between 1 and 20 million Yen; the company president, Teishi Masuko, is the real owner as the cat remembered him as he used the moving service from the refrigerated truck where the kids first found Taii. When the kids go visit Mr. Masuko, he had received a head injury from an assault. Takagi and Sato investigate, and Takagi let slip the two slept together.

The Detective boy later meet Makabe, a boy with a new game they all like, so he invites them over. Conan finds a dead man next door to Makabe, and Takagi and Sato are called in. Sato tells Takagi that she lost something because of him, and he says he will take responsibility (him believing it is because they slept together she is pregnant). Meanwhile, Yumi and Naeko eavesdrop on the conversation between the two, both believing Miwako to be having Takagi's child- which Yumi spreads over HQ infuriating all the men. It turns out Sato lost a pin she normally wears when she and Takagi were after a suspect, only to find it in his pants pocket- meaning she isn't pregnant.}}

|summary=Conan, Ran, and Sonoko head to a cabin in the woods with Sera to meet some of her brother's old friends to solve a mystery. Along the way, they saw a woman dressed in all red hiding but vanished when seen. When they arrive they meet Tamami Minegishi, Sumika Kawana, Masaie Hakuya, and Jinsuke Ninda. Ran mentions the woman in all red from earlier, and everyone panics believing her the killer, the Red Woman- from her blood soaked coat- who killed their friend Satoko in the nearby bog 15 years earlier; since then, strange things have happened at the villa, so Sera was asked by her brother to investigate. Masaie is later found murdered in the bath tub, and Yui Uehara responds to the scene and concludes Masaie was bludgeoned and drowned. Everyone says it was the Red Woman, but Uehara assures them it can't be since her death was confirmed 15 years ago along with Satoko's in the bog, her name was Komayo Takeno. The murder weapon is a dumbbell, and Sera noticed salt in the tub, so Conan and Sera confirm their deductions when a blackout occurs and Sumika is attacked by the 'Red Woman', leaving both detectives confused. Uehara learns Sera spent 3 years in the US; she returned to Japan and in her head says "to meet the wizard once more" while looking at Conan. Inspectors Kansuke Yamato and Taka'aki Morofushi (Komei) look into the original Red Woman case by talking to the original officer on the case.

Reviewing both Satoko's and the Red Woman's deaths, Satoko was found with a red coat of the 'Red Woman', while she wore beige earlier that day. Yamato calls to warn Uehara of a danger in the woods, but the call dies from a storm. Conan and Sera deductions prove Sumika was the one who killed Masaie and hid him in the tub. By using a bat and a fan to create the sounds of a vacuum to sound like Masaie was upstairs, he was already dead. Conan also shows that tomatoes don't float unless salt is mixed with the water, so she salted the water to create an alibi. Sera also points out that she was the woman in red they saw on the way to the cabin as she handed Sera the photos from earlier to investigate, without hesitation while the others thought she was a boy at first. She killed Masaie as he had Satoko play the Red Woman for a prank, and she fell into the bog and died. The woman who attacked Sumika appears(Shinobu Kagawa, the mistress of the man killed by the Red Woman, attacked Sumika dressed as the Red Woman), but Yamato and Morofushi arrive and take her away. Conan later finds Sera's phone and a young girl with Akai eyes is with her in the shot.

Following their return to Beika, Sera explains to Ran and Sonoko that a good friend of her dad's is paying for her stay at her hotel. Conan silently questions the photo of the little girl with Sera since she said her only other siblings are her deceased and second brothers. They visit her hotel and run into a romance novelist, Hiura, writing his latest book, and his assistant, Chiaki Minazuki, is murdered. Immediately, Conan and Sera see its the novelist and prove he used his suitcase to stuff her in after strangling her. He killed her because he thought she was trying to extort money and fame from him. She was the real original author when she was much younger and sent a coded message in the title to tell him that she loved him with a play on words with the book title. After Hiura is arrested, Conan's bug on Sera is destroyed and the little girl from Sera's photo comments on Conan still having a long way before earning her trust. Sera is then told to say, should she be asked, that the little girl is her little sister from "outside the domain".

'''{{nihongo|Heiji Hattori|服部平次|Hattori Heiji}}''', also known as '''Harley Hartwell''' in the Funimation dub, is an Osakan high school detective in the manga and anime series ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Kazuha Toyama]]. Originally a rival to [[Shinichi Kudo]], Heiji has since [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|found out]] [[Conan]]'s true identity and the two often team up to work on cases. He was the first person to find out Conan's true identity himself.

== Background ==
[[File:Cuffed.png|thumb|left|Heiji and Kazuha cuffed together as children]]
Heiji is a high school detective, and the son of [[Heizo Hattori]], chief of the Osaka Police Department, and his wife [[Shizuka Hattori]]. Heiji wants to be a detective like his father, and he is also very skilled in kendo and has become a favored tournament contender for his school.

At one time during their childhood, Heiji had had the unfortunate idea of locking himself and his friend [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] together with a set of old handcuffs which had no key to unlock it; as a result they involuntarily had to spend time together even on some rather intimate occasions (i.e., bathroom visits) before the cuffs could be removed. As a reminder of this 'closeness' and for good luck, Kazuha fashioned two identical lucky charms, each incorporating a chain link from the cuffs, which she and Heiji have been wearing ever since.<ref name=StabbetWallet>Manga Volume 19: Files 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref>

In the news, Heiji has been publicly declared the "Great Detective of the West", while [[Shinichi Kudo]] is the "Great Detective of the East". As a result, Heiji showed up unannounced at the Mouri Detective Agency looking for Kudo, seeking to challenge his rival to a showdown of wits. (In fact, they had such a contest before, three years previously, during a skiing trip in the Yamagata prefecture, although they never learned about each other's identities at that time.<ref>Manga Chapters 518-522: Yuki-Onna Murder Case</ref>) Heiji was soundly defeated in the following case after [[Conan Edogawa]] temporarily turned back into Shinichi, but he gained a lot of respect for Shinichi in the process.<ref>Manga Chapters 092-096: The Great Detective Of The West</ref>.

During their second encounter, Conan knocked Heiji out to solve the on-going case, but during his final presentation of the facts, Heiji awoke prematurely and discovered Conan's secret, and in the end managed to blackmail Conan into revealing all. <ref>Manga Chapters 121: The Holmes Freak Case: The Revelation</ref> Ever since that revelation, Heiji has been helping Conan in hiding his secret identity, though he constantly slips up by calling him "Kudo" in front of [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Kazuha.

Heiji and Conan most often congenially team up to solve assorted cases. Heiji has also helped Conan investigate the [[Black Organization]] on several occasions, such as when the two investigated [[Jodie Starling]] <ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Case Closed |volume=34 |publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 2-7 |language=English }}</ref>, or when Heiji investigated [[Eisuke Hondou]] on his own and then told Conan his findings<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Meitantei Conan |volume=56 | chapter=Files 7 |language=Japanese}}</ref>. He's also helped cover for Conan during several of the brief instances where Conan regained his true adolescent age, and has even disguised himself as Shinichi on several occasions in order to protect his identity, even though he is not very good at it (mostly owing to his distinctive Kansai dialect). When not working on a case, he regularly attempts to invite Conan to take in the sights and culinary delights of Osaka, which he considers more wholesome than Tokyo's.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Even while solving a case, Heiji tends to be lighthearted and good-humored, preferring to work through it with a grin on his face. He is a big fan of baseball, and is most of the time shown wearing an Osaka cap, to support the local Osaka baseball team. He usually wears his cap with its visor pointed backward, but if he feels challenged, he turns the visor forward.

Heiji is known for his pride as an Osaka citizen and for his thick Osakan accent, which has been pointed out and sometimes made fun numerous times. However, Heiji holds his head high and is always one to brag about the greatness of Osaka, especially when Conan comes to visit.

Despite him knowing the value and necessity of remaining calm in the face of a crime, Heiji tends to be impulsive at times, which tends to cloud his judgment a little. This was discussed directly in the "Detective Koushien" case, when [[Saguru Hakuba]] accused Heiji of being a poor detective for disrupting a crime scene in his rush to see if the victim could still be saved. Heiji, however, solved the case in the end, and reminded Saguru that the detective's first job is to prevent death if he can. Heiji is also known to be extremely protective of those he values as close friends, and tries hard to keep them out of harm. There are several instances where Hattori tells Kazuha to wait for him or leaves her behind in order to keep her from being involved in cases, simply because he's afraid of her getting hurt.<ref>Manga Volume 59, File 6, pg 6: Armored Warrior</ref><ref>Manga Volume 59, File 7, pg 11: Art of War</ref><ref name=653p3>Manga Volume 63, File 1, page 3: My Deduction</ref>

Furthermore, he's pretty much always watching Shinichi's back, and does whatever he can to not only keep Shinichi safe, but to keep his identity under cover. However, on one occasion Heiji advised Conan to tell the truth, when Ran had convinced herself that Conan was Shinichi and thus willingly gave him blood after being shot.

Although he is very competitive when it comes to detective cases, when a case gets hot, he and Shinichi work effectively together. During Shinichi's first return to his high school during the play performance, Heiji let him take the lead role in the investigations, saying it was because they were in Tokyo, Shinichi's turf.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Case Closed |volume=26 |publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 1-7 |language=English }}</ref>

Although he frequently mocks Kazuha for her superstitions and enthusiasm for good-luck charms, Heiji has several times revealed that he puts more trust in them than he would admit. He once dreamed of Shinichi being murdered, and out subsequently insisted that Conan wear his omamori, the good luck charm Kazuha gave him. The omamori ended up saving Shinichi's life by deflecting a knife blow, but Heiji, without his usual protection, was shot in the stomach.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Meitantei Conan |volume=19 | chapter=Files 5-8 |language=Japanese}}</ref> In another case, Ran hung a teruterubozu, a charm that's supposed to ensure good weather, in the window so that Conan would have good weather for his field trip the next day. Heiji, however, got up in the middle of the night to take down the teruterubozu so that Conan's field trip would be rained out and he could accompany Heiji on an investigation of the The Red Horse Among The Flames.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Meitantei Conan |volume=39 |language=Japanese}}</ref>

== Appearance ==
Heiji has dark brown, spiky hair and dark skin, and his eyes are normally dark green in the anime but are drawn as blue in the manga. He speaks with a strong Kansai Ben accent, which is typical of the Osaka region. Since Heiji is so strongly accustomed to this accent, his lingual habit can be a disadvantage at times, especially when he has to impersonate someone who uses standard Japanese.<ref>[[Volume 26# School Play Case|Manga Chapter 256: ''Concealed Truth'']]</ref><ref>OVA 06: ''[[Follow the Vanished Diamond! Conan & Heiji vs. Kid!]]''</ref>

== Skills ==

=== Detective skills ===
Heiji's detective skills are same as [[Shinichi]]'s. Because of his skills, Heiji has acquired his nick name "The Great Detective Of The West". Like Shinichi, He has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account and has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to recall every detail of an investigation, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Heiji's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony. However, unlike Shinichi, Heiji seem to be more competitive and hot-blooded while solving a case.

=== Eidetic memory ===
Like the other 'geniuses' of Detective Conan, Heiji has shown himself to have an eidetic memory, capable of remembering complex letter and number sequences at only a glance, such as when he was able to solve a code in his head during the "Heiji and Kazuha in Grave Danger" arc, and even reproduce another message using the same code to text to Conan.

=== Athletic Ability ===
As Shinichi is to soccer, so is Heiji to kendo. He's the fifth position, or taisho, and captain of his high school Kendo team. Heiji may disable criminals using an improvised bokken similar to how Shinichi uses his soccer skills.

Heiji is also very nimble. He can jump higher than a bookshelf, and balance perfectly on a katana. This is shown in episode 263 of the anime, when Kotegawa trys to kill him.

===Others===
Heiji is also a capable motorcycle driver. He also speaks fluent English.

[[image:190_heiji_as_shinichi.JPG|thumb|right|180px| Heiji attempting to disguise himself as Shinichi to alleviate Ran's suspicions.]]
===The Great Detective Of The West (Episodes 48-49)===
One day, Conan (using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changer Tie]] to imitate [[Shinichi Kudo|his old voice]]) calls [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to tell her once again that he is all right and that he is still stuck with the 'special case' when Ran hangs up on him as someone has just entered the detective agency. Coming home, Conan finds to his surprise that the 'customer' is a youth who keeps demanding to see Shinichi Kudo. When Ran mentions that Shinichi has just called, without asking about Ran's state, the youth deduces that Shinichi must actually be nearby, watching Ran from afar. He then introduces himself as high school detective Heiji Hattori and presents a gift, a bottle of [[baijiu]], of which he gives Conan a swig. Just then, Kimie Tusjimura, the wife of a known diplomat, enters [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s office to ask him to investigate the girlfriend of her son. In order to be inconspicuous, Kogoro takes Ran and Conan along, and Heiji, hoping to flush out Shinichi, tags along as well. What is originally meant to be a simple investigation job turns out to be a murder case, as they find Kimie's husband slain at his desk.<ref>Manga Chapters 092: </ref>

===Finding the One Truth===
After this first case, it only takes one more run-in with Conan to get Heiji thinking about the similarities between Conan and Shinichi. It is on the "[[Holmes Freak Murder Case]]" that Heiji, despite professing a preference for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellery_Queen Ellery Queen], exercises the Holmesian axiom: "When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." In addition, after Conan had [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|knocked him out]] to use him as his mouthpiece to present his evidence, Heiji receives a clout on the head from [[Kogoro Mouri]], which wakes him up again, and from the corner of his eye he spies Conan standing behind him and using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] to mimick his voice; he thus discovers Conan's secret, which forces Conan to explain his situation.

===Fast Friends===
On their third case together, Conan was initially irritated to see Heiji, but they quickly formed a strong team. Together they cornered the murderer and even took steps to preventing the suicide she had planned. When she realizes that she won't be able to kill herself she weeps piteously, causing Heiji to whisper to Conan, "perhaps we should have let her die." Conan replies that "a detective who corners a murderer with logic and then lets them commit suicide is no better than a murderer."

Although Heiji seemed to laugh this off at the time, soon after he invites Conan (and [[Kogoro Mouri]] and [[Ran Mouri]], because otherwise it'd look suspicious) to Osaka. It is revealed by [[Kazuha Toyama]] (in her first appearance) that Heiji has been talking about 'Kudo' so often that Kazuha thought 'Kudo' was his new Tokyo girlfriend. Heiji suggests that the reason he invited Conan to Osaka is because he has been worried about Conan's safety; he has had dreams of Conan being murdered. On a case together in Osaka, Heiji gives Conan his omamori, which ends up saving his life by deflecting a knife thrust. However, without it Heiji is injured while trying to prevent the murderer from committing suicide. In the ambulance, he reveals to Conan that he has taken to heart Conan's admonishment.

===A Friend in Need===
Since that time, Heiji has quickly grown to be one of the people that Conan/Shinichi trusts most. Heiji has helped Conan investigate the Black Organization, including [[Jodie Starling]], has disguised himself as Shinichi on multiple occasions to protect his identity, and has, perhaps most importantly, become Conan's closest friend and confidante.

===Invitation to Osaka===
Heiji invites Conan, Ran, and Kogoro on a sightseeing tour on Osaka. While there they meet Heiji's childhood friend, Kazuha Toyama, but new acquaintances are quickly forgotten when the team comes head-to-head with the third and fourth victims of a serial murderer. The Congressman is the main suspect, but can evidence be found showing his innocence or guilt? A careful study of the victims' driver records reveals they all attended the same driving school. Heiji is the first one to learn of this and decides to confront the Congressman about it. Meanwhile Conan rejoins Ran and Kogoro only to be swooped away to a hidden shack where a serial killer is believed to be, but with a photo of the driving record and the testimony of the serial killer it appears two mysteries are about to be solved.

===A visit to Tokyo===
Heiji and Kazuha visit Tokyo accompanied by Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. They run into Heiji's father's friend and are invited to their mansion. There a murder occurs and his father's friend is found dead in a locked room. It seems he was dragged to another room after being stabbed in the heart. Continuing the investigation, Heiji proclaims the butler was the murderer and he is taken away, screaming his innocence. Late that night, an unknown man takes the murder weapon and tries to place it in a bag, but is caught by Heiji and Conan who reveal that they placed the blame on the butler to lure out the true culprit. The culprit is revealed to be Kikuhito Morizono. He reveals that he murdered the man because he tried to cancel the wedding and take his love away from him.

===The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case===

===The Symphony Serial Murder Case===
In this episode, Heiji meets up once again with Conan and the gang on an overnight cruise in Tokyo. Unfortunately, instead of being able to spend a relaxing day on board, a serial murder case is created, leaving Heiji and Conan to work together to solve it. After they gather much of the evidence of the murder cases, Heiji and Conan share their deductions with each other only to find that, once again, their deductions are different. Heiji tries to beat Conan to the truth and goes off on his own to investigate. When he happens to come across the final piece of evidence that disproves both his and Conan's deductions, he is attacked and thrown overboard into the ocean. Later, Conan realizes that he's missing and is extremely concerned.

===Tottori Spider Mansion Demon===
Kogoro and Heiji are hired to solve a murder case in a mansion supposedly haunted by a spider demon. Heiji and Kazuha, on their way to the mansion, find one of the residents who is also lost: an American named Robert Taylor who is a photographer. The three are picked up by Kogoro and co. in a truck. Apparently, the spider god's victims are always found hanged. During their stay, they find a hanged man surrounded by web-like strings. The case continues, and Conan and Heiji investigate further in the case. Conan and Heiji cooperate to reveal the murderer's identity and his trick.

===The Third Choice===
Ran is cast in a school play. While discussing the play with her friends backstage, Conan shows up wearing a face mask due to a cold. During a romantic scene, a man in the audience falls dead, seemingly by potassium cyanide, as revealed by a young man in the audience who appears to be Shinichi Kudo. This is quickly debunked, as Kazuha recognizes Heiji in disguise, and the real Shinichi has shown up anyway. Heiji originally planned on disguising as Shinichi in order to clear Ran's suspicions that Conan and Shinichi were one and the same, and was unaware that Shinichi would take the antidote with Haibara present in disguise as Conan.

===The Client Full Of Lies===
A woman named Shizuka Ikenami asks Kogoro to help find a man named Shiro Shibata so she could retrieve an old photograph; Conan realizes that the Ikenami is lying to Kogoro when she introduces herself for unknown reasons. After Conan solved the case, Heiji and Kazuha arrive and reveal that Shizuka Ikenami is actually Heiji's mother. Shizuka confesses and tells Kogoro that she wanted to see what kind of person he was since Heiji was injured the last time he stayed over.

===And Then There Were No Mermaids===
Heiji along with Conan, Ran, and Kogoro visit the Isle of Mermaids looking for Saori, who had sent a letter to Heiji and Kogoro asking them to save her from being killed by a mermaid, but when they try to look for her she has been reported missing. Conan and Heiji investigate the area and history of Mermaids Grave, a forest on the island. They learn that an elder who is over 130 years old is a holder of the arrow and the head of the festival. While investigating, three murders occur. Conan reveals to Heiji he knows who the murderer is and to meet him later, but later he and Kazuha fall off a cliff. Kazuha attempts to save Heiji by stabbing him with an arrow so that he would let go of her and save himself, but Heiji persists and ends up saving both Kazuha and himself in the end.

===3 "K"s of Osaka===
At the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan is on the phone talking to Heiji about the restaurant's opening party. Heiji's parents got invited but they both got colds and were unable to attend. Heiji decides to invite Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to come to the party. Three famous athletes from America are going to be there also. Once Heiji told Conan who the three athletes are, Conan accepts the invitation. Suddenly, the news reporter named Ed McCay who was invited to the K3 Restaurant asks that isn't Japan the home of many scandals, and mentions that K stands for "kitanai" meaning filth. Heiji wonders who he is and Kogoro knows that Ed McCay's famous in America. He's a reporter that specializes in exposing famous athletes' scandals. He exposes the athletes taking illegal drugs, playing fixed games, and having affairs. Ed McCay later gets murdered, but Heiji and Conan solves the case.

===Heiji's jealousy===
Heiji invites Conan to his kendo tournament but a drunk man named Atsushi Tarumi is found dead in the storage room. Heiji comes to investigate only to find that the body had somehow been moved to the shower room without anyone noticing. While Heiji was investigating, Kazuha suddenly appears asking Heiji to come back and take part in tournament and told him that Shinichi (Actually Conan, with whom Heiji was talking using the name "Kudo") would solve this case before him, which made Heiji jealous and he told Kazuha to not to tell anything about this case to Kudo. After a thorough investigation, Heiji reveals the culprit before Shinichi. However, in the end Heiji's high school lost the tournament because of Heiji's absence, but he seemed to be happy because he won his duel against Kudo. After the culprit is arrested, Heiji and Conan explore the town.

===English Teacher vs. Great Western Detective===
While at Agasa's house, Conan recalls his last meeting with the Black Organization. Conan deduces that another Black Organization member must have been at the hotel party. This is when he finally singles out Chris Vineyard as his suspect. Heiji came to Tokyo to help Conan out with the case. Heiji suspects Jodie-sensei of being a possible Black Organization member, and although Conan seems reluctant to support this idea, they pay Jodie-sensei a visit at her apartment. They find out here that her full name is "Jodie Saintemillion". After Jodie agrees to go out for a while with Heiji and Conan, the man living next door to Jodie falls dead outside from over 30 stories coincidentally as the three step outside. After the police arrive, it seems likely that the man committed suicide. However, Conan and Heiji have their doubts. Heiji immediately destroys the theory of suicide by showing that the man who fell from his apartment attempted to grab onto a curtain to save his life. Conan and Heiji reveal the truth by showing how the room was switched around so that when the man was drunken he would expect to be stepping out onto the balcony, but instead would wind up falling. After they solve the case, Heiji asks Jodie who she is. In reply, Jodie asks Heiji the same question. When Conan and Heiji leave, they concur that Jodie is suspicious but innocuous. The ending scene shows that she's already on to them in that Jodie's already knows Heiji's name and has pictures of Kudo during the time he regressed back to his former self in the Desperate Revival arc.

===Visit to Solitary Island of the Princess===

===Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation===
Heiji, Kazuha and a man named Kasukawa are held hostage in an attic of someone's home. Meanwhile, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are tired of waiting for the two and begin searching for them based on clues from the last phone call. They investigate Detective Kasukawa's home and discover evidence that Heiji had been there. Conan finds a memo which discloses Kenbashi City, Ito Residence. They investigate those with the surname Ito but are unable to find information about Heiji. Meanwhile, it is revealed Heiji is held hostage by Misari Ito, an attorney who is the head of a tax evasion group. Ito demands Heiji to solve a code made by Kasukawa which contains a seven-digit-code to a safe box containing evidence of her scandal. While held at gunpoint, Heiji sends a modified version of the code to Kogoro and asks him to solve it. Conan manages to solve the code, realizing that K, Q, and J stand for King, Queen, and Jack and replaces them with numbers accordingly. When Heiji receives the code back from Kogoro, he tells Misari he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Conan realizes the last three digits are actually letters and realizes what Heiji is trying to tell him and replies a modified code. Heiji tells Misari Ito he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Heiji reveals that the numbers, if placed in a 3 by 3 diagram, will create a diagram of a dice with the 1's representing the dots on a dice. Heiji reveals that the code he sent Kogoro had the letters LIB meaning Libra which is referring to the scales Libra and the attorney badge Ito has; He explains that the code "Kogoro" replied with means to "Lure One of them Out". At Ito's home, Conan knocks out the two kidnappers and frees Kazuha. The police arrive later and apprehends the criminals.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Kazuha Toyama ====
{{main|Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama}}
Heiji's relationship with [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] is a very close one; they were childhood friends, and have stayed close through the years. Their relationship is identified as a romantic one by other characters and fans alike, even though they claim that they don't have that sort of relationship or feelings for each other. Heiji is clueless when it comes to love and has not yet realized he has actual feelings for Kazuha. However, it has been shown that he becomes visibly jealous when he sees Kazuha with other guys, becoming distracted throughout the whole case. At one point, after a certain case, while looking at Kazuha, his thoughts read: 'Fool. You're too naive. I promise you, as long as you're with me, I'll never let anyone hurt you.'. Kazuha knows she has feelings for Heiji, as she shows this by being protective and chasing off other women that might have a interest in him In on of the mangas Kazuha attempts to confess her feelings after finding out that Ran had done so with Shinichi, but is unlucky because by telling him, Heiji ran off to tease Shinichi for it. She one time even attempted to sacrifice herself to save Heiji during a case in which accidentally both fell off a cliff. When the branch that Heiji was holding and both of them were hanging on to was breaking, she stabbed his hand with an arrow of love to prevent him from falling and force him to let her fall; however, he still held on despite the wound. Also, they have a similar situation to Ran and Shinichi, being childhood friends that have romantic feelings for each other and have similar backgrounds. Heiji is a teenage detective and she is a police detective's daughter, like Ran is a detective's daughter and Shinichi is a teenage detective. They are even called the 'Ran and Shinichi of Osaka' by fans of the series, since they're so similar. Although they are constantly fighting, they both are very close friends. It is also shown in the seventh movie, ''[[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]'', that Kazuha is Heiji's first love, though he didn't know it was her at the time.

==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
Heiji acts rather brotherly towards [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], even going so far as to pretend to be him on various occasions so that no one figures out that Shinichi and Conan are the same person. Of course, this might also be to make up for all the times Heiji calls him Kudo, which has nearly given Shinichi away multiple times. Heiji is concerned for Shinichi when he gets into trouble and life-or-death situations. They are as close as real brothers, both being detectives who have feelings for their childhood friends. When they're caught solving a case together, it's not unusual for their minds to move in sync; because of this and several other factors, they maintain a sort of friendly rivalry with each other. However, they are both all business when a case gets serious. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend.
{{clear}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
Heiji and [[Ran]] are good friends, bonding after Heiji's many trips to Tokyo because he "misses Conan". Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side.

==== Heizo Hattori ====
Heiji wants to become a detective, and his [[Heizo Hattori|father]] is very supportive of this, helping him solve tough cases. However, his father prefers a "tough love" approach, though mostly for the sole purpose of using Heiji to lure out a suspect.

==== Shizuka Hattori ====
[[Shizuka Hattori|Shizuka]] is Heiji's mother and he sometimes calls her an "old lady".

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[Kogoro]] respects him a little as a detective, but due to Heiji being the better detective, he seem to get annoyed whenever Heiji is with him while solving cases.

==== Goro Otaki ====
[[Goro Otaki|Otaki]] and Heiji are very good friends.

==== Juzo Megure ====
Usually Megure gets a little annoyed whenever Heiji runs into a case he is handling. He often tells Kogoro to not to lose to an outsider like Heiji. Despite this, Megure respects Heiji as a very skilled detective, and he has even declared Heiji as a better detective than Shinichi.

== Injuries ==

'''{{nihongo|Heiji Hattori|服部平次|Hattori Heiji}}''', also known as '''Harley Hartwell''' in the Funimation dub, is an Osakan high school detective in the manga and anime series ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Kazuha Toyama]]. Originally a rival to [[Shinichi Kudo]], Heiji has since [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|found out]] [[Conan]]'s true identity and the two often team up to work on cases. He was the first person to find out Conan's true identity himself.

== Background ==
[[File:Cuffed.png|thumb|left|Heiji and Kazuha cuffed together as children]]
Heiji is a high school detective, and the son of [[Heizo Hattori]], chief of the Osaka Police Department, and his wife [[Shizuka Hattori]]. Heiji wants to be a detective like his father, and he is also very skilled in kendo and has become a favored tournament contender for his school.

At one time during their childhood, Heiji had had the unfortunate idea of locking himself and his friend [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] together with a set of old handcuffs which had no key to unlock it; as a result they involuntarily had to spend time together even on some rather intimate occasions (i.e., bathroom visits) before the cuffs could be removed. As a reminder of this 'closeness' and for good luck, Kazuha fashioned two identical lucky charms, each incorporating a chain link from the cuffs, which she and Heiji have been wearing ever since.<ref name=StabbetWallet>Manga Volume 19: Files 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref>

In the news, Heiji has been publicly declared the "Great Detective of the West", while [[Shinichi Kudo]] is the "Great Detective of the East". As a result, Heiji showed up unannounced at the Mouri Detective Agency looking for Kudo, seeking to challenge his rival to a showdown of wits. (In fact, they had such a contest before, three years previously, during a skiing trip in the Yamagata prefecture, although they never learned about each other's identities at that time.<ref>Manga Chapters 518-522: Yuki-Onna Murder Case</ref>) Heiji was soundly defeated in the following case after [[Conan Edogawa]] temporarily turned back into Shinichi, but he gained a lot of respect for Shinichi in the process.<ref>Manga Chapters 092-096: The Great Detective Of The West</ref>.

During their second encounter, Conan knocked Heiji out to solve the on-going case, but during his final presentation of the facts, Heiji awoke prematurely and discovered Conan's secret, and in the end managed to blackmail Conan into revealing all. <ref>Manga Chapters 121: The Holmes Freak Case: The Revelation</ref> Ever since that revelation, Heiji has been helping Conan in hiding his secret identity, though he constantly slips up by calling him "Kudo" in front of [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Kazuha.

Heiji and Conan most often congenially team up to solve assorted cases. Heiji has also helped Conan investigate the [[Black Organization]] on several occasions, such as when the two investigated [[Jodie Starling]] <ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Case Closed |volume=34 |publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 2-7 |language=English }}</ref>, or when Heiji investigated [[Eisuke Hondou]] on his own and then told Conan his findings<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Meitantei Conan |volume=56 | chapter=Files 7 |language=Japanese}}</ref>. He's also helped cover for Conan during several of the brief instances where Conan regained his true adolescent age, and has even disguised himself as Shinichi on several occasions in order to protect his identity, even though he is not very good at it (mostly owing to his distinctive Kansai dialect). When not working on a case, he regularly attempts to invite Conan to take in the sights and culinary delights of Osaka, which he considers more wholesome than Tokyo's.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Even while solving a case, Heiji tends to be lighthearted and good-humored, preferring to work through it with a grin on his face. He is a big fan of baseball, and is most of the time shown wearing an Osaka cap, to support the local Osaka baseball team. He usually wears his cap with its visor pointed backward, but if he feels challenged, he turns the visor forward.

Heiji is known for his pride as an Osaka citizen and for his thick Osakan accent, which has been pointed out and sometimes made fun numerous times. However, Heiji holds his head high and is always one to brag about the greatness of Osaka, especially when Conan comes to visit.

Despite him knowing the value and necessity of remaining calm in the face of a crime, Heiji tends to be impulsive at times, which tends to cloud his judgment a little. This was discussed directly in the "Detective Koushien" case, when [[Saguru Hakuba]] accused Heiji of being a poor detective for disrupting a crime scene in his rush to see if the victim could still be saved. Heiji, however, solved the case in the end, and reminded Saguru that the detective's first job is to prevent death if he can. Heiji is also known to be extremely protective of those he values as close friends, and tries hard to keep them out of harm. There are several instances where Hattori tells Kazuha to wait for him or leaves her behind in order to keep her from being involved in cases, simply because he's afraid of her getting hurt.<ref>Manga Volume 59, File 6, pg 6: Armored Warrior</ref><ref>Manga Volume 59, File 7, pg 11: Art of War</ref><ref name=653p3>Manga Volume 63, File 1, page 3: My Deduction</ref>

Furthermore, he's pretty much always watching Shinichi's back, and does whatever he can to not only keep Shinichi safe, but to keep his identity under cover. However, on one occasion Heiji advised Conan to tell the truth, when Ran had convinced herself that Conan was Shinichi and thus willingly gave him blood after being shot.

Although he is very competitive when it comes to detective cases, when a case gets hot, he and Shinichi work effectively together. During Shinichi's first return to his high school during the play performance, Heiji let him take the lead role in the investigations, saying it was because they were in Tokyo, Shinichi's turf.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Case Closed |volume=26 |publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 1-7 |language=English }}</ref>

Although he frequently mocks Kazuha for her superstitions and enthusiasm for good-luck charms, Heiji has several times revealed that he puts more trust in them than he would admit. He once dreamed of Shinichi being murdered, and out subsequently insisted that Conan wear his omamori, the good luck charm Kazuha gave him. The omamori ended up saving Shinichi's life by deflecting a knife blow, but Heiji, without his usual protection, was shot in the stomach.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Meitantei Conan |volume=19 | chapter=Files 5-8 |language=Japanese}}</ref> In another case, Ran hung a teruterubozu, a charm that's supposed to ensure good weather, in the window so that Conan would have good weather for his field trip the next day. Heiji, however, got up in the middle of the night to take down the teruterubozu so that Conan's field trip would be rained out and he could accompany Heiji on an investigation of the The Red Horse Among The Flames.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Meitantei Conan |volume=39 |language=Japanese}}</ref>

== Appearance ==
Heiji has dark brown, spiky hair and dark skin, and his eyes are normally dark green in the anime but are drawn as blue in the manga. He speaks with a strong Kansai Ben accent, which is typical of the Osaka region. Since Heiji is so strongly accustomed to this accent, his lingual habit can be a disadvantage at times, especially when he has to impersonate someone who uses standard Japanese.<ref>[[Volume 26# School Play Case|Manga Chapter 256: ''Concealed Truth'']]</ref><ref>OVA 06: ''[[Follow the Vanished Diamond! Conan & Heiji vs. Kid!]]''</ref>

== Skills ==

=== Detective skills ===
Heiji's detective skills are same as [[Shinichi]]'s. Because of his skills, Heiji has acquired his nick name "The Great Detective Of The West". Like Shinichi, He has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account and has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to recall every detail of an investigation, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Heiji's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony. However, unlike Shinichi, Heiji seem to be more competitive and hot-blooded while solving a case.

=== Eidetic memory ===
Like the other 'geniuses' of Detective Conan, Heiji has shown himself to have an eidetic memory, capable of remembering complex letter and number sequences at only a glance, such as when he was able to solve a code in his head during the "Heiji and Kazuha in Grave Danger" arc, and even reproduce another message using the same code to text to Conan.

=== Athletic Ability ===
As Shinichi is to soccer, so is Heiji to kendo. He's the fifth position, or taisho, and captain of his high school Kendo team. Heiji may disable criminals using an improvised bokken similar to how Shinichi uses his soccer skills.

Heiji is also very nimble. He can jump higher than a bookshelf, and balance perfectly on a katana. This is shown in episode 263 of the anime, when Kotegawa trys to kill him.

===Others===
Heiji is also a capable motorcycle driver. He also speaks fluent English.

''Main Article: [[Heiji Hattori Appearances]].''
[[image:190_heiji_as_shinichi.JPG|thumb|right|180px| Heiji attempting to disguise himself as Shinichi to alleviate Ran's suspicions.]]
===The Great Detective Of The West (Episodes 48-49)===
One day, Conan (using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changer Tie]] to imitate [[Shinichi Kudo|his old voice]]) calls [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to tell her once again that he is all right and that he is still stuck with the 'special case' when Ran hangs up on him as someone has just entered the detective agency. Coming home, Conan finds to his surprise that the 'customer' is a youth who keeps demanding to see Shinichi Kudo. When Ran mentions that Shinichi has just called, without asking about Ran's state, the youth deduces that Shinichi must actually be nearby, watching Ran from afar. He then introduces himself as high school detective Heiji Hattori and presents a gift, a bottle of [[baijiu]], of which he gives Conan a swig. Just then, Kimie Tusjimura, the wife of a known diplomat, enters [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s office to ask him to investigate the girlfriend of her son. In order to be inconspicuous, Kogoro takes Ran and Conan along, and Heiji, hoping to flush out Shinichi, tags along as well. What is originally meant to be a simple investigation job turns out to be a murder case, as they find Kimie's husband slain at his desk.<ref>Manga Chapters 092: </ref>

===Finding the One Truth===
After this first case, it only takes one more run-in with Conan to get Heiji thinking about the similarities between Conan and Shinichi. It is on the "[[Holmes Freak Murder Case]]" that Heiji, despite professing a preference for [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellery_Queen Ellery Queen], exercises the Holmesian axiom: "When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." In addition, after Conan had [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|knocked him out]] to use him as his mouthpiece to present his evidence, Heiji receives a clout on the head from [[Kogoro Mouri]], which wakes him up again, and from the corner of his eye he spies Conan standing behind him and using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] to mimick his voice; he thus discovers Conan's secret, which forces Conan to explain his situation.

===Fast Friends===
On their third case together, Conan was initially irritated to see Heiji, but they quickly formed a strong team. Together they cornered the murderer and even took steps to preventing the suicide she had planned. When she realizes that she won't be able to kill herself she weeps piteously, causing Heiji to whisper to Conan, "perhaps we should have let her die." Conan replies that "a detective who corners a murderer with logic and then lets them commit suicide is no better than a murderer."

Although Heiji seemed to laugh this off at the time, soon after he invites Conan (and [[Kogoro Mouri]] and [[Ran Mouri]], because otherwise it'd look suspicious) to Osaka. It is revealed by [[Kazuha Toyama]] (in her first appearance) that Heiji has been talking about 'Kudo' so often that Kazuha thought 'Kudo' was his new Tokyo girlfriend. Heiji suggests that the reason he invited Conan to Osaka is because he has been worried about Conan's safety; he has had dreams of Conan being murdered. On a case together in Osaka, Heiji gives Conan his omamori, which ends up saving his life by deflecting a knife thrust. However, without it Heiji is injured while trying to prevent the murderer from committing suicide. In the ambulance, he reveals to Conan that he has taken to heart Conan's admonishment.

===A Friend in Need===
Since that time, Heiji has quickly grown to be one of the people that Conan/Shinichi trusts most. Heiji has helped Conan investigate the Black Organization, including [[Jodie Starling]], has disguised himself as Shinichi on multiple occasions to protect his identity, and has, perhaps most importantly, become Conan's closest friend and confidante.

===Invitation to Osaka===
Heiji invites Conan, Ran, and Kogoro on a sightseeing tour on Osaka. While there they meet Heiji's childhood friend, Kazuha Toyama, but new acquaintances are quickly forgotten when the team comes head-to-head with the third and fourth victims of a serial murderer. The Congressman is the main suspect, but can evidence be found showing his innocence or guilt? A careful study of the victims' driver records reveals they all attended the same driving school. Heiji is the first one to learn of this and decides to confront the Congressman about it. Meanwhile Conan rejoins Ran and Kogoro only to be swooped away to a hidden shack where a serial killer is believed to be, but with a photo of the driving record and the testimony of the serial killer it appears two mysteries are about to be solved.

===A visit to Tokyo===
Heiji and Kazuha visit Tokyo accompanied by Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. They run into Heiji's father's friend and are invited to their mansion. There a murder occurs and his father's friend is found dead in a locked room. It seems he was dragged to another room after being stabbed in the heart. Continuing the investigation, Heiji proclaims the butler was the murderer and he is taken away, screaming his innocence. Late that night, an unknown man takes the murder weapon and tries to place it in a bag, but is caught by Heiji and Conan who reveal that they placed the blame on the butler to lure out the true culprit. The culprit is revealed to be Kikuhito Morizono. He reveals that he murdered the man because he tried to cancel the wedding and take his love away from him.

===The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case===

===The Symphony Serial Murder Case===
In this episode, Heiji meets up once again with Conan and the gang on an overnight cruise in Tokyo. Unfortunately, instead of being able to spend a relaxing day on board, a serial murder case is created, leaving Heiji and Conan to work together to solve it. After they gather much of the evidence of the murder cases, Heiji and Conan share their deductions with each other only to find that, once again, their deductions are different. Heiji tries to beat Conan to the truth and goes off on his own to investigate. When he happens to come across the final piece of evidence that disproves both his and Conan's deductions, he is attacked and thrown overboard into the ocean. Later, Conan realizes that he's missing and is extremely concerned.

===Tottori Spider Mansion Demon===
Kogoro and Heiji are hired to solve a murder case in a mansion supposedly haunted by a spider demon. Heiji and Kazuha, on their way to the mansion, find one of the residents who is also lost: an American named Robert Taylor who is a photographer. The three are picked up by Kogoro and co. in a truck. Apparently, the spider god's victims are always found hanged. During their stay, they find a hanged man surrounded by web-like strings. The case continues, and Conan and Heiji investigate further in the case. Conan and Heiji cooperate to reveal the murderer's identity and his trick.

===The Third Choice===
Ran is cast in a school play. While discussing the play with her friends backstage, Conan shows up wearing a face mask due to a cold. During a romantic scene, a man in the audience falls dead, seemingly by potassium cyanide, as revealed by a young man in the audience who appears to be Shinichi Kudo. This is quickly debunked, as Kazuha recognizes Heiji in disguise, and the real Shinichi has shown up anyway. Heiji originally planned on disguising as Shinichi in order to clear Ran's suspicions that Conan and Shinichi were one and the same, and was unaware that Shinichi would take the antidote with Haibara present in disguise as Conan.

===The Client Full Of Lies===
A woman named Shizuka Ikenami asks Kogoro to help find a man named Shiro Shibata so she could retrieve an old photograph; Conan realizes that the Ikenami is lying to Kogoro when she introduces herself for unknown reasons. After Conan solved the case, Heiji and Kazuha arrive and reveal that Shizuka Ikenami is actually Heiji's mother. Shizuka confesses and tells Kogoro that she wanted to see what kind of person he was since Heiji was injured the last time he stayed over.

===Visit to mermaids===
Heiji along with Conan, Ran, and Kogoro visit the Isle of Mermaids looking for Saori, who had sent a letter to Heiji and Kogoro asking them to save her from being killed by a mermaid, but when they try to look for her she has been reported missing. Conan and Heiji investigate the area and history of Mermaids Grave, a forest on mermaid island. They learn that an elder who is over 130 years old is a holder of the arrow and the head of the festival. While investigating three murders occur. Conan reveals to Heiji he knows who the murderer is and to meet him later, but later he and Kazuha fall off a cliff but later it seem that Heiji had saved both him and Kazuha.

===3 "K"s of Osaka===
At the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan is on the phone talking to Heiji about the restaurant's opening party. Heiji's parents got invited but they both got colds and can't go. Heiji decides to invite Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to come to the party. Three famous athletes from America are going to be there also. Once Heiji told Conan who the three athletes are, Conan accepts the invitation. Suddenly, the news reporter named Ed McCay who was invited to the K3 Restaurant asks that isn't Japan the home of many scandals, and mentions that K stands for "kitanai" meaning filth. Heiji wonders who he is and Kogoro knows that Ed McCay's famous in America. He's a reporter that specializes in exposing famous athletes' scandals. He exposes the athletes taking illegal drugs, playing fixed games, and having affairs. Ed McCay later gets murdered, but Heiji and Conan solves the case.

===Heiji's jealousy===
Heiji invites Conan to his kendo tournament but a drunk man named Atsushi Tarumi is found dead in the storage room. Heiji comes to investigate only to find that the body had somehow been moved to the shower room without anyone noticing. While Heiji was investigating, Kazuha suddenly appears asking Heiji to come back and take part in tournament and told him that Shinichi (Actually Conan, with whom Heiji was talking using the name "Kudo") would solve this case before him, which made Heiji jealous and he told Kazuha to not to tell anything about this case to Kudo. After a thorough investigation, Heiji reveals the culprit before Shinichi. However, in the end Heiji's high school lost tournament because of absence of Heiji but he seem to be happy because he won his duel against Kudo. After culprit is arrested, Heiji and Conan explore the town.

===English Teacher vs Great Western Detective===
While at the Agasa's, Conan recalls his last meeting with the Black Organization. Conan deduces that another Black Organization member must have been at the hotel party. This is when he finally singles out Chris Vineyard as his suspect. Heiji came to Tokyo to help Conan out with the case. Heiji suspects Jodie-sensei of being a possible Black Organization member, and although Conan seems reluctant to this idea, they pay Jodie-sensei a visit at her apartment. They find out here that her full name is "Jodie Saintemillion". After Jodie agrees to go out for a while with Heiji and Conan, the man living next door to Jodie falls dead outside from over 30 stories, coincidentally as the three are outside. After the police arrive, it seems likely that the man committed suicide. However, Conan and Heiji have a different idea. Heiji immediately destroys the theory of suicide, by showing that the man who fell from his apartment attempted to grab onto the curtain to save his life. Conan and Heiji reveals the truth by showing how the room was switched around. After they solves the case, Heiji asks Jodie that who is she. In reply, Jodie asks the same question to Heiji. When Conan and Heiji leave, concur that Jodie is someone suspicious, but believe that she is innocuous. The ending scene shows that she's already on to them in that Jodie's already knows Heiji's name and has pictures of Kudo during the time he regressed back to his former self.

===Visit to Solitary Island of the Princess===

===Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation===
Heiji, Kazuha and a man named Kasukawa are held hostage in an attic of someone's home. Meanwhile, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are tired of waiting for the two and begin searching for them based on clues from the last phone call. They investigate Detective Kasukawa's home and discover evidence that Heiji had been there. Conan finds a memo which discloses Kenbashi City, Ito Residence. They investigate those with the surname Ito but are unable to find information about Heiji. Meanwhile, it is revealed Heiji is held hostage by Misari Ito, an attorney who is the head of a tax evasion group. Ito demands Heiji to solve a code made by Kasukawa which contains a seven-digit-code to a safe box containing evidence of her scandal. While held at gunpoint, Heiji sends a modified version of the code to Kogoro and asks him to solve it. Conan manages to solve the code, realizing that K, Q, and J stand for King, Queen, and Jack and replaces them with numbers accordingly. When Heiji receives the code back from Kogoro, he tells Misari he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Conan realizes the last three digits are actually letters and realizes what Heiji is trying to tell him and replies a modified code. Heiji tells Misari Ito he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Heiji reveals that the numbers, if placed in a 3 by 3 diagram, will create a diagram of a dice with the 1's representing the dots on a dice. Heiji reveals that the code he sent Kogoro had the letters LIB meaning Libra which is referring to the scales Libra and the attorney badge Ito has; He explains that the code "Kogoro" replied with means to "Lure One of them Out". At Ito's home, Conan knocks out the two kidnappers and frees Kazuha. The police arrive later and apprehends the criminals.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Kazuha Toyama ====
{{main|Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama}}
Heiji's relationship with [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] is a very close one; they were childhood friends, and have stayed close through the years. Their relationship is identified as a romantic one by other characters and fans alike, even though they claim that they don't have that sort of relationship or feelings for each other. Heiji is clueless when it comes to love and has not yet realized he has actual feelings for Kazuha. However, it has been shown that he becomes visibly jealous when he sees Kazuha with other guys, becoming distracted throughout the whole case. At one point, after a certain case, while looking at Kazuha, his thoughts read: 'Fool. You're too naive. I promise you, as long as you're with me, I'll never let anyone hurt you.'. Kazuha knows she has feelings for Heiji, as she shows this by being protective and chasing off other women that might have a interest in him In on of the mangas Kazuha attempts to confess her feelings after finding out that Ran had done so with Shinichi, but is unlucky because by telling him, Heiji ran off to tease Shinichi for it. She one time even attempted to sacrifice herself to save Heiji during a case that they accidently both fell off a cliff, and when the branch Heiji was holding and both of them were hanging on was breaking she stabbed him hand with an arrow of love to prevent him from falling and force him to let her fall, however he still held on despite a wounded and bloody hand. Also, they have the same situation as Ran and Shinichi, being childhood friends that have romantic feelings for each other and have the same background as them. Heiji is a teenage detective and she is a police detective's daughter, like Ran is a detective's daughter and Shinichi is a teenage detective. They are even called the 'Ran and Shinichi of Osaka' by fans of the series, since they're so similar. Although they are constantly fighting, they both are very close friends. It is also shown in the seventh movie, ''[[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]'', that Kazuha is Heiji's first love, though he didn't know it was her at the time.

==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
Heiji acts rather brotherly towards [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], even going so far as to pretend to be him on various occasions, so no one figures out that Shinichi and Conan are the same person. Of course, this might also be to make up for all the times Heiji calls him Kudo, which has nearly given Shinichi away multiple times. Heiji can be a little bit worried for Shinichi when he gets into trouble and in a life or death situation. They are as close as real brothers, both being detectives who have feelings for their childhood friends. When they're caught solving a case together, it's not unusual for their minds to move in sync; because of this and several other factors, they maintain a sort of friendly rivalry with each other. However, they are both all business when a case gets serious. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend.
{{clear}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
Heiji and [[Ran]] are good friends, bonding after Heiji's many trips to Tokyo because he "misses Conan". Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side.

==== Heizo Hattori ====
Heiji wants to become a detective, and his [[Heizo Hattori|father]] is very supportive of this, helping him solve tough cases. However, his father prefers a "tough love" approach, though mostly for the sole purpose of using Heiji to lure out a suspect.

====Shizuka Hattori====
[[Shizuka Hattori|Shizuka]] is Heiji's mother and he sometimes calls her an "old lady".

==== Kogoro mouri ====
[[Kogoro]] respects him a little as a detective, but due to Heiji being the better detective, he seem to get annoyed whenever Heiji is with him while solving cases.

====Goro Otaki====
[[Goro Otaki|Otaki]] and Heiji are very good friends.

====Juzo Megure====
Usually Megure gets a little annoyed whenever Heiji runs into a case he is handling. He often tells Kogoro to not to loose to a outsider like Heiji. Despite this, Megure respects Heiji as a very skilled detective, he even declared Heiji as a better Detective than Shinichi.

{{nihongo|'''Kogoro Mouri'''|毛利小五郎|''Mōri Kogorō''}} is one of the main characters of the [[manga]] and [[anime]]. He is a private detective and the father of [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Young Kogoro in school]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]], [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and the actress Ruri Ujo.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the Judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

Some time after graduating, Kogoro became a police officer. He worked in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Division One with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], but while an excellent marksman he was not a particularly good investigator. He also worked for some time under [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division as well. While Movie 2 strongly suggests that Kogoro left the police force because of the incident where he gave his wife, [[Eri Kisaki]], a bullet graze on the leg to save her from a hostage situation, his reasons for leaving the force have not been confirmed in the manga. <ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> Around the time Kogoro left the police force, Eri also moved out, though they have never officially divorced despite ten years having passed.<ref name="m2" /> Their daughter, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], keeps trying to get them back together, but she has yet to succeed. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still has feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet,<ref>[[Volume 17]]</ref> though she still has feelings for him as well. These are expressed mainly through jealousy when Kogoro's attention is caught by other attractive women in the vicinity, which occurs on a regular basis.

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi to move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume_4#File_032_-_The_Pen_That_Cannot_Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouth-piece by drawing Kogoro's attentions to important clues he has uncovered.

In the Japanese version, due to his name Kogoro Mouri he is often mistaken for the famous astronaut [[wikipedia:Mamoru Mohri|Mamoru Mohri]] when he introduces himself, because they both are in the news frequently, of Japanese decent, and have the same last name. In the English version, when Kogoro introduces himself he is often mistaken for a famous astronaut as well, possibly [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Moore Patrick Moore].

In the US version, Kogoro Mouri says that he is forty-three, as opposed to being thirty-eight in the Japanese version. It is unknown if Eri's age remains the same, since they attended school together. If not, if it will affect the ''Princess Pageant'' storyline that occurred twenty years ago, making her in her twenties when she participated instead of a teenager.

==Personality==
[[File:Kogoro's personality.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Kogoro in the morning.]]
[[Image:Kogoro and Yoko Okino.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kogoro showboating in front of [[Yoko Okino]].]]
[[File:701_5.png|thumb|250px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]

Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his own importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his own clients. On cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor changes and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

Kogoro easily becomes infatuated with beautiful women. His favorite celebrity is pop idol [[Yoko Okino]], and he never misses (or tries not to miss) her television shows.<ref>[[Volume 3#File 025 - The Dream That Will Not Come True|Volume 3, File 25: "The Dream That Will Not Come True"]]</ref><ref>Such behaviors can be seen consistently from [[Volume 1#File 006 - From Third-Rate to Great Detective|Volume 1, File 6: From Third-Rate to Great Detective]] to [[Volume 52#File 541 - Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Volume 52, File 541: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]].</ref> He also keeps a large collection of Yoko related goods and his office and bedroom have Yoko posters. Because of his flirtatious behavior around attractive women, he often embarrasses Ran, and while it is not stated as the reason why Eri left him, it is one of the primary reasons why she hasn't come back.

While never outright called an alcoholic, Kogoro has a tendency to get intoxicated and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi/Conan]] often makes sarcastic remarks about him spending money on alcohol. In the anime, particularly in early episodes, his office is littered with empty beer cans,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> and he keeps a well-stocked liquor shelf. Kogoro is also a heavy smoker, and is usually seen with a cigarette in his mouth. Other hobbies include watching his favorite idol star, [[Yoko Okino]], betting on horse races, playing mahjong (which he tends to lose) and playing or watching baseball (he even plays in his neighborhood's team).

Kogoro suffers from a mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is. Kogoro is also an expert with a handgun, being able to hit targets at great distance with an impressive level of accuracy. He is also known for his Judo throw, which he often uses to incapacitate escaping suspects and taught to Eri.
{{clear}}

== Appearance ==
Kogoro is an average sized man with excellent physique (especially for the amount of beer he drinks). He has slicked back, short black hair with two loose locks hanging across his forehead and a short mustache. Ten years ago, when Kogoro was still on the police force, he was clean shaven.<ref>Manga Volume 55, File 7, page 6: "Dawn"</ref> While on cases Kogoro usually wears a muted blue or grey suit and necktie, and just a collared shirt when being more casual. If he has been drinking heavily, he often ties his necktie around his forehead like a bandana. He seems to be reasonably fit, as he is capable of doing an [[#Judo|Ippon seoi-nage]]. Kogoro is right handed.<ref>Manga Volume 51, File 8, page 3: "Goroo is Goro?!" Kogoro writing with his right hand</ref> Kogoro also smokes, although over the course of Detective Conan's run he has gradually been depicted smoking less often.

== Abilities ==
=== Detective skills ===
:''See also: [[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]'' 
Throughout most of the series, Kogoro is depicted as a fairly incompetent (or just plain lazy) detective, often missing clues and jumping to the wrong conclusions, though several of these conclusions are shared by other people on the scene. However, Kogoro does follow the proper police procedures, asks questions, and (with a little help from Conan) follows leads quite well. Despite his ineptness, he had been a police officer under [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and in also the arson department ten years prior to the start of the series<ref name="m2" /> He is shown to have left the police force after events addressed in the second movie, ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]''.<ref name="m2" />[[File:Kogoro is stunned.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Kogoro's characteristic strange expression when Conan uses the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]]]]

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume_4#File_032_-_The_Pen_That_Cannot_Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquillizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorou}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

In several stories, Kogoro demonstrates the ability to solve crimes without (or with little) help from Conan, especially when people he knows or cares about are involved; it appears that, while he can connect the dots just fine, he can't actually find them as quickly as Conan does. The first of these events takes place during a trip to a hot spring, where one of his old college friends is murdered. Kogoro is actually so disturbed and determined to find the killer on his own that Conan cannot bring himself to drug him, limiting himself to surreptitiously drawing attention to the necessary clues.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 084 - Kogoro's Class Reunion|Volume 9, Files 84-86: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> Despite his frequent moronic analyses, Kogoro is actually pretty smart when he applies himself. He is even able to completely solve a crime on his own in the ninth movie, ''[[Strategy Above the Depths]]'', due to the fact that the culprit Minako resembles Eri, and Conan applauds him mentally for his success. (For a more detailed list of the cases he has—more or less—solved on his own, see '''''[[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]''''').

=== Judo ===
Kogoro was on the Judo team while he was at Beika University. Although he was the strongest on the team and can and still does toss large men with ease, he lost all the time at tournaments because he got excited and his strength was used against him. His trademark is the [http://www.judoinfo.com/images/animations/blue/ipponseoi.htm Ippon seoi-nage] (one arm shoulder throw). He appears to also be a capable teacher in the art, having taught both Eri and Ran.

=== Shooting ===
In the non-[[canon]] [[Movie 2]], Kogoro was an excellent shot with a handgun.
{{clearleft}}

== Appellations ==
Kogoro earned the news nickname {{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}} because of his trademark technique of solving cases while looking like he is asleep. Many characters unfamiliar with him call him by this nickname when they realize who he is.

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|File 2-5]]; Anime: [[Episode 2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|220px|thumb|right|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so however, as they are on a highway.

When the three arrive at the Tani household, Kogoro questions some of the household members about the details of the kidnapping. However, Conan’s continuous interference gets on his nerves, even to the point that he wants to “kill” the boy after solving the case.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 3, Page 10]]. However, it was most likely just an exaggerated type of expression rather than his true desire of killing Conan.</ref> Later, with help from Conan’s hints, Kogoro is able to come to the conclusion that the house butler is behind the kidnapping. However, Akiko Tani has already been abducted in truth by someone else. After the case is over, it is revealed that the first kidnapping was just a set-up by the girl with the help from the butler, while the second one was by mere chance. Kogoro then laughs in satisfaction and takes all the credits for himself while Conan is actually the one to release the dog and locate Akiko. At the end, Kogoro finally accepts Conan and adopts him, feeling that with the boy around, “he will solve the cases smoothly as silk”.<ref>[[Volume 1| Volume 1, File 5, Page 16]]</ref> With this statement, Kogoro is, ironically, correct.

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|File 6-9]]; Anime: [[Episode 3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, in order to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

Busying enjoying one of [[Yoko Okino]]’s shows, Kogoro tells a new client to come back the next day. However, after discovering that his client is none other than Yoko herself, he rushes to his room and cleans up into an impeccable suit. Yoko explains she is being stalked, and agreed to investigate her apartment secretly (after asking for her personal information and an autograph). However, to everyone's shock, when they arrive at the apartment there is a dead body inside. Kogoro orders them to call the Police and is furious when Yoko’s manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, tries to dissuade him in order to protect Yoko from the media. When Inspector [[Megure]] arrives, he gets depressed about his old subordinate’s appearance, thinking of him as the one who always makes situation turns into a “nightmare”.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 7, Page 5]]</ref>

Conan's investigations once again annoy Kogoro while Kogoro tries to defend Yoko despite the apparent evidence that she committed the murder. He repeatedly accuses Eiichi of being the murderer, as he has a copied key, though there's no proof of either person's guilt or innocence. He switches suspicions to fellow idol Yuko Ikezawa after Yuko's earring is discovered in the apartment. When Yuko is trapped into admitting she was the the "stalker" but still denies being the murderer, he switches back to accusing Eiichi. Realizing Kogoro’s mistake, Conan kicks an ash-tray at his head, knocking him unconscious. He uses the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] that [[Agasa]] has given to him earlier to imitate Kogoro’s voice, and points out that the case is in fact a suicide. Kogoro wakes up after the case is solved when the cigarette in his hand starts to burn his fingers. From then on, Conan has used Kogoro as a puppet mouthpiece for solving cases, with the secondary purpose of turning the man into a famous detective.

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|File 10-12]]; Anime: [[Episode 38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|220px|right|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way in order to make people clearly see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the cases before. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

=== Masami Hirota Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|File 13-16]]; Anime: [[Episode 128]])===
This is Kogoro's first direct encounter with a member from the [[Black Organization]], though he is unaware of it at the time.

=== Museum Owner Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 4|File 30-32]]; Anime: [[Episode 8]]) ===
This case marks Kogoro Mouri's first fame as a private detective.

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|220px|thumb|left|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit, because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

With this piece of evidence and some further discoveries, Kogoro and the police accuse Kubota of being the culprit. However, Conan is suspicious of the simplicity and of Manaka's behavior on the video while writing the note. Conan realizes that Kubota was framed by someone with a great love of art who could order Kubota into doing a job alone: the museum curator, Ochiai. Ochiai prepared the note beforehand and gave Manaka a pen without ink. Conan tricks Ochiai into revealing that he switched the pen found with Manaka with the one in his pocket, and Ochiai confesses to the crime. At the end of the case, Kogoro is shown reading a newspaper article that features him. He is proud of himself for "solving" the murder case, and is happy that he has become an "instant celebrity".

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|File 84-86]]; Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|Episode 27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|220px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|220px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role in investigating her death before the polive arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago, when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn mark around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then comes to the conclusion that his friend was actually murdered.

Suspecting that Jun Omura is hiding something, Kogoro interrogates him and learns that he saw Yumi after 5 PM, when she was supposed to have died. Even though on the outside, Kogoro keeps saying that the killer was some intruder, deep inside he knows for sure that the culprit must have been among his best friends, since outsiders wouldn't bother faking the crime scene. When being questioned by Conan, Kogoro angrily punches at a house-stake, yelling that he will not forgive the culprit, and determines to "expose them with no question, no matter what".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 85]]. In the anime version, he punched the wall.</ref>

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|220px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time, and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's helps, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was actually killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who is the real demon. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is actually the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

The case ends with Kogoro staring sadly out of the window because of his friends' story, but his "spirit" immediately revives after seeing a girl's pink underwear.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 18]]</ref>

Kogoro is invited to attend a television live show as a guest star. However, a murder occurs at the studio. After finding out all the evidences, Conan lures Kogoro to a separate room with the lie that [[Yoko Okino]] is in there. Just as usual, he decides to tranquilize Kogoro and uses the man to solve the case. Unfortunately, when Kogoro wakes up, he begins to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He is also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tries to pull him outside, he always falls asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabs the boy's suit jacket and wants to "clear things up". Luckily for Conan, Yoko Okino appears for real and Kogoro completely loses his suspicions.

=== Game Convention Case (Manga: [[Volume 12|File 114-116]]; Anime: [[Episode 54]])===

=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|File 163-165]]; Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was actually set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped to flirt with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro actually went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|220px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still haven’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring in order to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

=== Murderer Kogoro Mouri Case (Manga: [[Volume 27|File 264-266]]; Anime: [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro at the bar.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Kogoro is drunken at the bar.]]
Kogoro encounters his wife Eri once again at a vacation spot, where he eventually becomes the prime suspect in the murder of her colleague and rival, Ritsuko Usui.

The events take place when Kogoro, along with Ran and Conan, unexpectedly finds Eri shopping with a fellow lawyer, Norifumi Saku. He suspects that his wife is going out with Saku, not knowing that she's actually trying to pick a present for himself as the next day will be their wedding anniversary. They agree to have a drink together with Eri's other acquainted lawyers, but the detective's old bad habits while drunk once again enrages her.

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|220px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

Much to everyone's surprise, Eri refuses to defend her husband in court, while openly declaring her accusation of Kogoro. However, her real intention is to remain at the crime scene in order to find a way to prove his innocence, but the detective misunderstands this and angrily walks away after replying with some sarcastic comments.

Eri, with Conan's help, eventually manages to unmask the true murderer and clear Kogoro's name. The next day morning, after learning of his wife's deeds, Kogoro walks to where Eri is sitting and apologizes to her. He also sincerely asks her to come back with him, only to find out that she's just listening to Ran's MD without actually hearing anything that he said. Kogoro gets angry at Eri again as she leaves, not knowing that she has recorded all of his nice words into the disk.

== Relationships analysis ==
===Family & Friends===
====Eri Kisaki====
Eri Kisaki is Kogoro's wife, who has been living separately from him for the last ten years. A primary reason they have not yet gotten back together is because of Mouri's constant flirting with other women, though it is shown that she still cares for him, even naming her cat 'Goro', which is taken from Kogoro. She is also annoyed by his frequent indulgences into alcohol. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still has feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet, though she still has feelings for him as well.

====Ran Mouri====
She is Kogoro's 16-year old daughter. She often has to look after her irresponsible father because of his drinking. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually end in failure.

====Conan Edogawa====
Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times, but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan.

====Yoko Okino====
Yoko is Kogoro's idol. He always watches her television appearances and admires her. Yoko sometimes invites Kogoro to host a show or appear on commercials, which helps to spread his fame as a detective.

====Shinichi Kudo====
They are both detectives, but due to Shinichi being the better detective, Mouri is constantly complaining about how he never gets any work because of the 'detective brat'. He is also against his daughter being with Shinichi so much, likely due to his own rocky marriage to his childhood friend.

====Tooru Amuro====
[[Tooru Amuro]] became [[Kogoro]]'s apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case. The first case he solved with Kogoro is the [[Detectives' Nocturne]] case. Because of Tooru told Kogoro that he'll pay for the fees, Kogoro immediately accepted the offer.

===Law Enforcement===
====Juzo Megure====
Kogoro used to work with [[Megure]] when he was still part of the police force. But until now, They seems to be helping each other even after Kogoro left the police force.
