10 months later. A member of the staff of the research facilities of the Nobeyama National Observatory is attacked by someone.<br />

On the same day's night, a colleague of Kogorō from his MPD days, nicknamed as "Wani", calls him at his Detective Office.<br />
He was investigating the accident in which Yamato was involved, the avalanche, and says that Kogorō's name was in the report of that investigation.<br />
Kogorō agrees to meet him at a later date, and Conan follows him, but when they head to the meeting site, gunfire suddenly rings out...<br />

Takagi, Sato, and Kogoro decide to go to Nagano to investigate further the reason why the victim made an appointment with Kogoro after discovering information about the avalanche there that almost took Yamato Kansuke's life on his work computer. At the Nagano police station, a while after the three of them arrived and met Yamato and Yui at the station, a man named Eizo Funakubo still insists that Yamato find the criminal who had completed his sentence, Takashi Washizu, because he thinks his sentence was too light compared to accidentally causing the death of his daughter. <br />

She still feels guilty for Yoshiro's death to this day because he really loved her, but before she can ask what Yamato would do if she were the one who went missing, there is a stranger with murder intent on the two police, and even the witnesses who happen to be there after being alerted by the gunshot: Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ran.<br />

Afterwards, the investigation that Conan asked Kazami to do, although did not find a person named Takashi Washizu, did find a person who shared the same name. Afterwards, the boy calls Amuro to get some more information, then sends a message under the name of Shinichi Kudo to Kogoro and Ran regarding the truth of the matter…<br />

=== Resolution ===<br />
<spoiler>At dusk, Conan, Kogoro, Morofushi and Ran meet with Otomo and Funakubo. The former reveal that '''Takashi Otomo is Takashi Washizu''', as his name could not be found in police records, and the marks on his arm and armpit correspond to that of using a rifle. Otomo however is not the criminal they think he is anymore, as after his parole, he came back and opened a mountain hut to shelter people and frequently tends to Maki's grave. He also saved Yamato's life when he was involved in the avalanche 10 months ago. He brought him to a phone booth to be saved and secretly left to avoid being seen. Funakubo is shocked to learn this and says that he has always wanted to kill him, but instead embraces and tells him that even though his daughter is no longer there, that he forgives Otomo.<br />
<br />
Later, the policemen move into the Nobeyama observatory and confront the real culprit, '''Atsunobu Hayashi'''.<br />
<br />
Then, when he is about to escape, Inspector Yamato suddenly appears and reveals that the avalanche had helped him remember that the face he had seen 10 months ago was Hayashi's. What Hayashi has been doing all this time is to collect radio waves from Japan's information-gathering satellites and military satellites from the United States, a close ally, and use that information to threaten the Japanese government about considering the plea bargain law. The prosecutor Rikuo Hasebe is actually a specialist from the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center who had come to investigate the information about the data acquisition. In addition, according to the instructions of the national police, Sametani began investigating the aforementioned incident and knew the truth before Yamato did, this would prompt Hayashi to silence him forever. The reason Hayashi can’t accept the plea bargain law is because in his mind, the number of criminals who would do such things will increase while the number of victims who would suffer fate like Maki, his girlfriend, will increase as a consequence.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hayashi attempts to escape, but with the combined efforts of Conan, Kogoro, Haibara, and the police they proceed to capture him.<br />
<br />
==== Post-credit scene ====<br />
<br />
In the post-credit scene, Furuya appears before Hayashi and presents him with a plea bargain: his sentence could be reduced from the death penalty to life imprisonment, on the condition that he stays silent about the PSB’s involvement. Hayashi reacts with fury, but Furuya reminds him that exposing the PSB would also expose his relationship with Maki—something that would severely damage public perception of Maki.<br />
<br />
Back at the hospital, the Nagano Police gather to discuss the recent events. Yui mentions that Conan had already told her Kansuke was alive. Taka’aki comments that Conan was simply being considerate, wanting to spare her unnecessary heartbreak. Kansuke, however, teases Yui for overreacting to the “loss” of a colleague that nobody would react that way. Yui blushes and replies what if they weren’t just colleagues, leaving Kansuke confused.<br />

On the same day's night, a colleague of Kogorō from his MPD days, nicknamed as "Wani", calls him at his Detective Office.<br />
He was investigating the accident in which Yamato was involved, the avalanche, and says that Kogorō's name was in the report of that investigation.<br />
Kogorō agrees to meet him at a later date, and Conan follows him, but when they head to the meeting site, gunfire suddenly rings out...<br />

Takagi, Sato, and Kogoro decide to go to Nagano to investigate further the reason why the victim made an appointment with Kogoro after discovering information about the avalanche there that almost took Yamato Kansuke's life on his work computer. At the Nagano police station, a while after the three of them arrived and met Yamato and Yui at the station, a man named Eizo Funakubo still insists that Yamato find the criminal who had completed his sentence, Takashi Washizu, because he thinks his sentence was too light compared to accidentally causing the death of his daughter. <br />

She still feels guilty for Yoshiro's death to this day because he really loved her, but before she can ask what Yamato would do if she were the one who went missing, there is a stranger with murder intent on the two police, and even the witnesses who happen to be there after being alerted by the gunshot: Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ran.<br />

Afterwards, the investigation that Conan asked Kazami to do, although did not find a person named Takashi Washizu, did find a person who shared the same name. Afterwards, the boy calls Amuro to get some more information, then sends a message under the name of Shinichi Kudo to Kogoro and Ran regarding the truth of the matter…<br />

=== Resolution ===<br />
<spoiler>At dusk, Conan, Kogoro, Morofushi and Ran meet with Otomo and Funakubo. The former reveal that '''Takashi Otomo is Takashi Washizu''', as his name could not be found in police records, and the marks on his arm and armpit correspond to that of using a rifle. Otomo however is not the criminal they think he is anymore, as after his parole, he came back and opened a mountain hut to shelter people and frequently tends to Maki's grave. He also saved Yamato's life when he was involved in the avalanche 10 months ago. He brought him to a phone booth to be saved and secretly left to avoid being seen. Funakubo is shocked to learn this and says that he has always wanted to kill him, but instead embraces and tells him that even though his daughter is no longer there, that he forgives Otomo.<br />
<br />
Later, the policemen move into the Nobeyama observatory and confront the real culprit, '''Atsunobu Hayashi'''.<br />
<br />
Then, when he is about to escape, Inspector Yamato suddenly appears and reveals that the avalanche had helped him remember that the face he had seen 10 months ago was Hayashi's. What Hayashi has been doing all this time is to collect radio waves from Japan's information-gathering satellites and military satellites from the United States, a close ally, and use that information to threaten the Japanese government about considering the plea bargain law. The prosecutor Rikuo Hasebe is actually a specialist from the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center who had come to investigate the information about the data acquisition. In addition, according to the instructions of the national police, Sametani began investigating the aforementioned incident and knew the truth before Yamato did, this would prompt Hayashi to silence him forever. The reason Hayashi can’t accept the plea bargain law is because in his mind, the number of criminals who would do such things will increase while the number of victims who would suffer fate like Maki, his girlfriend, will increase as a consequence.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hayashi attempts to escape, but with the combined efforts of Conan, Kogoro, Haibara, and the police they proceed to capture him<br />
<br />
==== Post-credit scene ====<br />
<br />
In the post-credit scene, Furuya appears before Hayashi and presents him with a plea bargain: his sentence could be reduced from the death penalty to life imprisonment, on the condition that he stays silent about the PSB’s involvement. Hayashi reacts with fury, but Furuya reminds him that exposing the PSB would also expose his relationship with Maki—something that would severely damage public perception of Maki.<br />
<br />
Back at the hospital, the Nagano Police gather to discuss the recent events. Yui mentions that Conan had already told her Kansuke was alive. Taka’aki comments that Conan was simply being considerate, wanting to spare her unnecessary heartbreak. Kansuke, however, teases Yui for overreacting to the “loss” of a colleague that nobody would react that way. Yui blushes and replies what if they weren’t just colleagues, leaving Kansuke confused.<br />

He revealed in the movie guidebook that the reason that Takaa'ki sees Hiromitsu, his younger brother in a dream, because he lied to Misao in [[The Body on the Gunma-Nagano Border]] (episodes 1123-1124).<br />
:* Despite this, Yamamura appeared at the end of the film's novelization as a cameo.

On the same day's night, a colleague of Kogorō from his MPD days, nicknamed as "Wani", calls him at his Detective Office.<br />
He was investigating the accident in which Yamato was involved, the avalanche, and says that Kogorō's name was in the report of that investigation.<br />
Kogorō agrees to meet him at a later date, and Conan follows him, but when they head to the meeting site, gunfire suddenly rings out...<br />

Takagi, Sato, and Kogoro decide to go to Nagano to investigate further the reason why the victim made an appointment with Kogoro after discovering information about the avalanche there that almost took Yamato Kansuke's life on his work computer. At the Nagano police station, a while after the three of them arrived and met Yamato and Yui at the station, a man named Eizo Funakubo still insists that Yamato find the criminal who had completed his sentence, Takashi Washizu, because he thinks his sentence was too light compared to accidentally causing the death of his daughter. <br />

She still feels guilty for Yoshiro's death to this day because he really loved her, but before she can ask what Yamato would do if she were the one who went missing, there is a stranger with murder intent on the two police, and even the witnesses who happen to be there after being alerted by the gunshot: Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ran.<br />

Afterwards, the investigation that Conan asked Kazami to do, although did not find a person named Takashi Washizu, did find a person who shared the same name. Afterwards, the boy calls Amuro to get some more information, then sends a message under the name of Shinichi Kudo to Kogoro and Ran regarding the truth of the matter…<br />

=== Resolution ===<br />
<spoiler>At dusk, Conan, Kogoro, Morofushi and Ran meet with Otomo and Funakubo. The former reveal that '''Takashi Otomo is Takashi Washizu''', as his name could not be found in police records, and the marks on his arm and armpit correspond to that of using a rifle. Otomo however is not the criminal they think he is anymore, as after his parole, he came back and opened a mountain hut to shelter people and frequently tends to Maki's grave. He also saved Yamato's life when he was involved in the avalanche 10 months ago. He brought him to a phone booth to be saved and secretly left to avoid being seen. Funakubo is shocked to learn this and says that he has always wanted to kill him, but instead embraces and tells him that even though his daughter is no longer there, that he forgives Otomo.<br />
<br />
Later, the policemen move into the Nobeyama observatory and confront the real culprit, '''Atsunobu Hayashi'''.<br />
<br />
Then, when he is about to escape, Inspector Yamato suddenly appears and reveals that the avalanche had helped him remember that the face he had seen 10 months ago was Hayashi's. What Hayashi has been doing all this time is to collect radio waves from Japan's information-gathering satellites and military satellites from the United States, a close ally, and use that information to threaten the Japanese government about considering the plea bargain law. The prosecutor Rikuo Hasebe is actually a specialist from the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center who had come to investigate the information about the data acquisition. In addition, according to the instructions of the national police, Sametani began investigating the aforementioned incident and knew the truth before Yamato did, this would prompt Hayashi to silence him forever. The reason Hayashi can’t accept the plea bargain law is because in his mind, the number of criminals who would do such things will increase while the number of victims who would suffer fate like Maki, his girlfriend, will increase as a consequence.<br />
<br />
{{People|Rikuo Hasebe|Rikuo Hasebe.jpg|<br />
* Specialist from the [[wikipedia:Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office|Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center]]}}<br />
<br />
Still, he would attempt to escape like any other criminals with great ambitions and force almost everyone to participate in protecting national secrets. Here we will witness a spectacular team-up between the police inspectors, a roof-top rescue, and… a profound lesson for the police who go against the code of ethics of the police profession. <br />
<br />
==== Post-credit scene ====<br />
<br />
In the post-credit scene, Furuya appears before Hayashi and presents him with a plea bargain: his sentence could be reduced from the death penalty to life imprisonment, on the condition that he stays silent about the PSB’s involvement. Hayashi reacts with fury, but Furuya reminds him that exposing the PSB would also expose his relationship with Maki—something that would severely damage public perception of Maki.<br />
<br />
Back at the hospital, the Nagano Police gather to discuss the recent events. Yui mentions that Conan had already told her Kansuke was alive. Taka’aki comments that Conan was simply being considerate, wanting to spare her unnecessary heartbreak. Kansuke, however, teases Yui for overreacting to the “loss” of a colleague. Yui firmly replies that her reaction went beyond professional concern—and that some bonds can’t be reduced to mere working relationships<br />

<div>The romantic relationship between Police Inspector [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and Teitan Elementary School Teacher and Detective Boys "manager", [[Sumiko Kobayashi]].<br />
<br />
== Relationship analysis ==<br />
[[File:Shiratori and Kobayashi.jpg|thumb|250px|Shiratori and Sumiko]]<br />
The love between [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and [[Sumiko Kobayashi]] had actually began when they were both elementary-school-aged children, probably around 15-20 years before the story of Detective Conan took place. Young Sumiko was trying to stop two teenagers from stealing in a bookstore, not too far from a just-as-young Shiratori, and when the goons threw her to the ground, Shiratori stepped in and convinced the thieves to give their "treasures" back by talking to them about the laws against theft, which brought up the owner's attention. As a token of gratitude, Sumiko gave Shiratori a soda cup with a ring made from the straw's paper wrapper whose parts looked like the symbol of Japanese police: sakura petals. Shiratori was so enchanted that, despite not even knowing her name, he decided to become a policeman.<br />
<br />
For a long time, Shiratori believed that fellow officer [[Miwako Sato]] was the girl he met, since Sato was a fan of the Japanese police ''and'' looked exactly like a grown version of the girl whom he believed to be his "person of destiny". However, Satou's affections gravitated towards [[Wataru Takagi]] instead despite all of Shiratori's efforts (which included roping her into an ''omiai'' aka arranged date that almost had them getting married), and eventually this was sealed when she kissed Takagi after he almost died in a case.<br />
<br />
Despite recognizing the huge drawback posed by Sato and Takagi's kiss, Shiratori didn't want to give up so easily because he still believed Sato to be the girl who changed his life. But during an encounter with the Detective Boys, he found another young woman who knew how to make sakura-fied paper rings, making him wonder if ''she'' was "the girl" instead. She turned out to be a murderer, which greatly saddened him... but at the end of the case, Ayumi tried to cheer him up by giving him a paper sakura "ring" and unknowingly reciting the same words about the police that he heard in the past. Almost at the same time Sumiko showed up, and a shocked Shiratori realised that ''she'' was the girl he had pined for through almost all of his life.<br />
<br />
Their relationship started in a relatively smooth manner, with Shiratori being very gentlemanly and protective of his girlfriend and Sumiko being very thrilled by her boyfriend's courting and him being a policeman. However, it hit a major snag when Sumiko learned about Sato and mistakenly thought the only reason Shiratori was with her was because of how much she looked like Sato. The mess became worse because Shiratori had ''not'' told her yet about their first meeting ''and'' because this happened when she was the key witness to a murder... as well as the killer's other target.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, thanks to the intervention of the Detective Boys and Shiratori reciting almost the same words he said in front of her as a child (this time, to shame the just uncovered culprit of the case for killing a person and trying to silence another), Sumiko finally remembered Shiratori as the boy who protected her. When Shiratori confirmed their encounter and properly declared his long-time love for her, she shyly but happily accepted his confession. They are currently dating each other, with Sumiko regularly making bentos for Shiratori.<br />
<br />
== Shiratori and Sumiko moments ==<br />
=== Manga/Anime ===<br />
==== [[Volume 66|Volume 66: Files 687-689]]/[[Inspector Shiratori, Memories of the Cherry Blossom|Episodes 568-569: Inspector Shiratori, Memories of the Cherry Blossom]] ====<br />
* In his childhood, Shiratori once came to the aid of Sumiko from two manga thieves. She stood up to them and got pushed to the floor for her trouble, but Shiratori stepped in and managed to scare them off by reciting the Japanese Law Code's punishment for theft.<br />
* Young Sumiko gave Shiratori a cola soda for saving her, wrapping it with a paper ring that looked like sakura petals she had made from a straw wrapper. Then, she said these words that inspired him to become the police officer he is today:<br />
<br />
{{cquote|Because the sakura is the symbol of police officers! Determined, kind, and dignified. It's a flower of justice!}}<br />
* The particular case involves Shiratori not only revealing this chance encounter to Conan and his friends and starting to wonder if Sato ''really'' was the girl from the past, but also finding a woman who seemingly fits the criteria, named Nami Kasakura. Later, however, Shiratori somewhat reluctantly proves that Kasakura is the murderer of the day. As a result, he feels very depressed and has started to lose all hope in love. However, when [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] gives him a bracelet made of paper sakura petals and repeats the same statement "the girl of destiny" made years ago, he desperately asks Ayumi who taught her that, and Ayumi replies that it was their teacher, Kobayashi-sensei. When he asks more about Kobayashi-sensei, as if on cue, Sumiko appears and Shiratori recognizes her as the "girl of his dreams".<br />
* Sumiko is coming to pick up the Detective Boys, after being called by [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and tells the kids she'll take them home by taxi. Shiratori suddenly grabs her hand in the cliché romantic gesture and immediately offers to take her and the kids home in his car. Sumiko, who is now blushing, shyly accepts.<br />
<br />
==== [[Volume 66|Volume 66: File 690]]/[[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|Episode 571: Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure Part 1]] ====<br />
* Shiratori visits Sumiko at Teitan Elelmentary School to inform her of some recent robberies in the area's jewelry stores. Sumiko states something like that won't probably happen to her, but Shiratori quickly tells her that she should always keep her guard up and to immediately call him if anything happens. Sumiko, who is now blushing, shyly agrees to.<br />
* Shiratori then ask for her cell phone number and Sumiko gives it to him.<br />
* Shiratori asks if Sumiko belives in destiny, revealing to her that he believes in it, blushing and rubbing his head awkwardly.<br />
* The Detective Boys try to help Shiratori to confess, but he quickly shoots their attempts down because he wants to tell her later and do it on his own. Ai analyzes a prospect relationship favorably, but expresses frustration at the slow advances between them.<br />
<br />
==== [[Volume 67|Volume 67: File 705-707]]/[[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|Episode 583: Kobayashi-sensei's Love]] & [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|Episode 584: Inspector Shiratori's Lost Love]] ====<br />
* Shiratori calls Sumiko on her cell phone to warn about the snatching incidents that have been happening in her area. Sumiko asks why Shiratori is always calling her and he replies it's because he worries for her.<br />
* When the Detective Boys ask if she's seen Shiratori before, trying to clue her in, Sumiko replies that it does feel like she's known him before, but cannot remember where or when.<br />
* Sumiko imagines what it would be like to date Shiratori, blushing while doing so, and thinking that she would be worried about his safety because he is a police officer, but that she would love listening to his cases cause she is a mystery fan.<br />
* After [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Yumi Miyamoto]] mistake Sumiko for Officer Sato, Shiratori smoothly appears, states Sumiko's occupation, that she's the witness in the case, and her full name. He then asks the two not to mistake who she is again.<br />
* In the middle of the interrogation, Sumiko is concerned because the culprit might be after her. Then, Shiratori promises Sumiko that he will protect her with his life, which flusters her quite a bit.<br />
* After seeing Officer Sato and learning about Shiratori's previous liking towards her, Sumiko (who had started to develop feelings for him) becomes extremely disheartened and starts thinking that Shiratori is only with her because of how much she and Sato resemble each other. As a result, she starts to be cold and curt with Shiratori, and denies his offer to taking her back home, something he asked Kazunobu Chiba to do.<br />
* When [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] explains why Sumiko is acting the way she is, Shiratori nearly slides to the floor, with a shocked face. When Sato and Takagi arrive and Sato cheerfully asks Shiratori about the "cute teacher" he's pining after, Shiratori gets even more upset.<br />
* Shiratori visits Sumiko at Teitan Elementary to discuss the case, with their relationship still strained. Then, Shiratori confesses his feelings for her and explains how they met, but Kobayashi, not believing it and probably unable to remember him properly, tells him that he's mistaken.<br />
<br />
==== [[Volume 68|Volume 68: File 708]]/[[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|Episode 585: Timeless Sakura's Love]] ==== <br />
* Shiratori protects Sumiko from the culprit who wanted her dead so she wouldn't be a witness.<br />
* After Shiratori does the same "Criminal Law, Article..." speech he did at the bookstore where he and Sumiko first met, Sumiko finally remembers him as the boy who rescued her. Followed by Shiratori's confession after she remembers:<br />
{{cquote| Since long before these children were born... I have been... In love with you.}}<br />
* His declaration of love towards causes her to blush and loudly (and shyly) respond with a quick "yes". Which in turns makes Shiratori blush, as well as smile.<br />
* Shiratori is extremely happy when he presents the bento that Sumiko made for him.<br />
<br />
==== [[Volume 69|Volume 69: Files 725-727]]/[[White Day of Betrayal|Episodes 608-609: White Day of Betrayal]] ====<br />
* On White Day, Shiratori has a bag of white candy to give to Sumiko; he reveals to Takagi and Sato that he couldn't decide which one to get and chose them all. While saying this, he thinks of his girlfriend Sumiko (who's smiling and blushing) in the background, while he's also smiling and blushing fondly.<br />
* Sumiko is seen with all the white candy Shiratori has bought for her. She's smiling and blushing with happiness, not knowing where to begin.<br />
<br />
==== [[Volume 71|Volume 71: File 741]]/[[A Video Letter of First Love|Episode 624: A Video Letter of First Love]] ====<br />
* Shiratori, with [[Kazunobu Chiba]], personally deliver a child prevention pamphlet to Sumiko at school. <br />
* Chiba slyly reveals that Shiratori only did the personal delivery because he [Shiratori] wanted to see Sumiko's face; Sumiko then blushes, thinking ''"I just saw him this morning when I gave him his bento..."''<br />
* Shiratori becomes jealous of Chiba and Sumiko having an animated chat over an old teacher at Teitan Elementary. He gives a deep cough, before removing Chiba from Sumiko's space so they can return to police work.<br />
<br />
==== [[Volume 91|Volume 91: File 966-968]]/[[The New Teacher's Skeleton Case|Episode 889-890:The New Teacher's Skeleton Case]] ====<br />
* While Shiratori said his goodbye while suggesting that the case doesn't look like murder, while he looked over to Sumiko, slightly blushing. Sumiko, also blushing, thanked him for coming.<br />
* Sumiko is upset because no one told her that Shiratori was also at the old warehouse the night before. She wanted to see him.<br />
<br />
==== [[Volume 102|Volume 102: File 1091]] & [[Volume 103|Volume 103: File 1092-1093]]/[[The Suspected Infidelity of the Triple Collab|Episode 1130-1131: The Suspected Infidelity of the Triple Collab]] ====<br />
* In the restaurant, Chiba is seen with Kobaysahi, Shukichi is seen with Naeko, and Shiratori is seen with Yumi. When they meet each other due to a murder case, they are angry at each other, thinking each is cheating with the other. But it turns out that the women marked a date on their calendars, and the men were preparing a surprise present for their girlfriends for said date but in order to help them pick the right present, the men asked the other women they knew and went to the restaurant with them as thanks.<br />

==== [[Movie 15|Movie 15: Quarter of Silence]] ====<br />
* The Detective Boys are shopping for a present for Sumiko and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] suggests a coffee mug that saids, "I LOVE SWANS", the "LOVE" actually being a heart. They quickly and excitably understand that switching the words on the mug can also read "I Love Shiratori". Almost immediately, Shiratori and Sumiko sneeze in sync, along with the writing from the coffee mug between the couple.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* Shiratori refers to Sumiko as "the girl of his destiny".<br />
* The Shiratori/Sumiko couple is one of the many couples that met in childhood, but with some interesting twists. Theirs was a single, chance encounter; they did not know each other's names; they did not actually find each other until adulthood; and when they did so their personalities had changed in comparison to their younger selves (the adult Sumiko is more mellow and thoughtful, and the older Shiratori is more arrogant). Nevertheless, they like and accept each other the way they are.<br />
* They are the quickest couple of the "Childhood" type of romance to get together officially.<br />

* After seeing Officer Sato and learning about Shiratori's previous liking towards her, Sumiko (who had started to develop feelings for him) becomes extremely disheartened and starts thinking that Shiratori is only with her because of how much she and Sato resemble each other. As a result, she starts to be cold and curt with Shiratori, and denies his offer to taking her back home, something he asked Kazunobu Chiba to do.<br />
* When [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] explains why Sumiko is acting the way she is, Shiratori nearly slides to the floor, with a shocked face. When Sato and Takagi arrive and Sato cheerfully asks Shiratori about the "cute teacher" he's pining after, Shiratori gets even more upset.<br />
* Shiratori visits Sumiko at Teitan Elementary to discuss the case, with their relationship still strained. Then, Shiratori confesses his feelings for her and explains how they met, but Kobayashi, not believing it and probably unable to remember him properly, tells him that he's mistaken.<br />

<div>The romantic relationship between Police Inspector [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and Teitan Elementary School Teacher and Detective Boys "manager", [[Sumiko Kobayashi]].<br />
<br />
== Relationship analysis ==<br />
[[File:Shiratori and Kobayashi.jpg|thumb|250px|Shiratori and Sumiko]]<br />
The love between [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and [[Sumiko Kobayashi]] had actually began when they were both elementary-school-aged children, probably around 15-20 years before the story of Detective Conan took place. Young Sumiko was trying to stop two teenagers from stealing in a bookstore, not too far from a just-as-young Shiratori, and when the goons threw her to the ground, Shiratori stepped in and convinced the thieves to give their "treasures" back by talking to them about the laws against theft, which brought up the owner's attention. As a token of gratitude, Sumiko gave Shiratori a soda cup with a ring made from the straw's paper wrapper whose parts looked like the symbol of Japanese police: sakura petals. Shiratori was so enchanted that, despite not even knowing her name, he decided to become a policeman.<br />
<br />
For a long time, Shiratori believed that fellow officer [[Miwako Sato]] was the girl he met, since Sato was a fan of the Japanese police ''and'' looked exactly like a grown version of the girl whom he believed to be his "person of destiny". However, Satou's affections gravitated towards [[Wataru Takagi]] instead despite all of Shiratori's efforts (which included roping her into an ''omiai'' aka arranged date that almost had them getting married), and eventually this was sealed when she kissed Takagi after he almost died in a case.<br />
<br />
Despite recognizing the huge drawback posed by Sato and Takagi's kiss, Shiratori didn't want to give up so easily because he still believed Sato to be the girl who changed his life. But during an encounter with the Detective Boys, he found another young woman who knew how to make sakura-fied paper rings, making him wonder if ''she'' was "the girl" instead. She turned out to be a murderer, which greatly saddened him... but at the end of the case, Ayumi tried to cheer him up by giving him a paper sakura "ring" and unknowingly reciting the same words about the police that he heard in the past. Almost at the same time Sumiko showed up, and a shocked Shiratori realised that ''she'' was the girl he had pined for through almost all of his life.<br />
<br />
Their relationship started in a relatively smooth manner, with Shiratori being very gentlemanly and protective of his girlfriend and Sumiko being very thrilled by her boyfriend's courting and him being a policeman. However, it hit a major snag when Sumiko learned about Sato and mistakenly thought the only reason Shiratori was with her was because of how much she looked like Sato. The mess became worse because Shiratori had ''not'' told her yet about their first meeting ''and'' because this happened when she was the key witness to a murder... as well as the killer's other target.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, thanks to the intervention of the Detective Boys and Shiratori reciting almost the same words he said in front of her as a child (this time, to shame the just uncovered culprit of the case for killing a person and trying to silence another), Sumiko finally remembered Shiratori as the boy who protected her. When Shiratori confirmed their encounter and properly declared his long-time love for her, she shyly but happily accepted his confession. They are currently dating each other, with Sumiko regularly making bentos for Shiratori.<br />
<br />
== Shiratori and Sumiko moments ==<br />
=== Manga/Anime ===<br />
==== [[Volume 66|Volume 66: Files 687-689]]/[[Inspector Shiratori, Memories of the Cherry Blossom|Episodes 568-569: Inspector Shiratori, Memories of the Cherry Blossom]] ====<br />
* In his childhood, Shiratori once came to the aid of Sumiko from two manga thieves. She stood up to them and got pushed to the floor for her trouble, but Shiratori stepped in and managed to scare them off by reciting the Japanese Law Code's punishment for theft.<br />
* Young Sumiko gave Shiratori a cola soda for saving her, wrapping it with a paper ring that looked like sakura petals she had made from a straw wrapper. Then, she said these words that inspired him to become the police officer he is today:<br />
<br />
{{cquote|Because the sakura is the symbol of police officers! Determined, kind, and dignified. It's a flower of justice!}}<br />
* The particular case involves Shiratori not only revealing this chance encounter to Conan and his friends and starting to wonder if Sato ''really'' was the girl from the past, but also finding a woman who seemingly fits the criteria, named Nami Kasakura. Later, however, Shiratori somewhat reluctantly proves that Kasakura is the murderer of the day. As a result, he feels very depressed and has started to lose all hope in love. However, when [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] gives him a bracelet made of paper sakura petals and repeats the same statement "the girl of destiny" made years ago, he desperately asks Ayumi who taught her that, and Ayumi replies that it was their teacher, Kobayashi-sensei. When he asks more about Kobayashi-sensei, as if on cue, Sumiko appears and Shiratori recognizes her as the "girl of his dreams".<br />
* Sumiko is coming to pick up the Detective Boys, after being called by [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and tells the kids she'll take them home by taxi. Shiratori suddenly grabs her hand in the cliché romantic gesture and immediately offers to take her and the kids home in his car. Sumiko, who is now blushing, shyly accepts.<br />
<br />
==== [[Volume 66|Volume 66: File 690]]/[[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|Episode 571: Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure Part 1]] ====<br />
* Shiratori visits Sumiko at Teitan Elelmentary School to inform her of some recent robberies in the area's jewelry stores. Sumiko states something like that won't probably happen to her, but Shiratori quickly tells her that she should always keep her guard up and to immediately call him if anything happens. Sumiko, who is now blushing, shyly agrees to.<br />
* Shiratori then ask for her cell phone number and Sumiko gives it to him.<br />
* Shiratori asks if Sumiko belives in destiny, revealing to her that he believes in it, blushing and rubbing his head awkwardly.<br />
* The Detective Boys try to help Shiratori to confess, but he quickly shoots their attempts down because he wants to tell her later and do it on his own. Ai analyzes a prospect relationship favorably, but expresses frustration at the slow advances between them.<br />
<br />
==== [[Volume 67|Volume 67: File 705-707]]/[[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|Episode 583: Kobayashi-sensei's Love]] & [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|Episode 584: Inspector Shiratori's Lost Love]] ====<br />
* Shiratori calls Sumiko on her cell phone to warn about the snatching incidents that have been happening in her area. Sumiko asks why Shiratori is always calling her and he replies it's because he worries for her.<br />
* When the Detective Boys ask if she's seen Shiratori before, trying to clue her in, Sumiko replies that it does feel like she's known him before, but cannot remember where or when.<br />
* Sumiko imagines what it would be like to date Shiratori, blushing while doing so, and thinking that she would be worried about his safety because he is a police officer, but that she would love listening to his cases cause she is a mystery fan.<br />
* After [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Yumi Miyamoto]] mistake Sumiko for Officer Sato, Shiratori smoothly appears, states Sumiko's occupation, that she's the witness in the case, and her full name. He then asks the two not to mistake who she is again.<br />
* In the middle of the interrogation, Sumiko is concerned because the culprit might be after her. Then, Shiratori promises Sumiko that he will protect her with his life, which flusters her quite a bit.<br />
* After seeing Officer Sato and learning about Shiratori's previous liking towards her, Sumiko (who had started to develop feelings for him) becomes extremely disheartened and starts thinking that Shiratori is only with her because of how much she and Sato resemble each other.

When Yamato Kansuke of the Nagano Prefectural Police chased a "certain man" into the snowy mountains, someone's slihouette unexpectedly comes into his field of view.<br />

He was investigating the accident in which Yamato was involved, the avalanche, and says that Kogorō's name was in the report of that investigation.<br />

Takagi, Sato, and Kogoro decide to go to Nagano to investigate further the reason why the victim made an appointment with Kogoro after discovering information about the avalanche there that almost took Yamato Kansuke's life on his work computer. At the Nagano police station, a while after the three of them arrived and met Yamato and Yui at the station, a man named Eizo Funakubo still insists that Yamato find the criminal who had completed his sentence, Takashi Washizu, because he thinks his sentence was too light compared to accidentally causing the death of his daughter. <br />

She still feels guilty for Yoshiro's death to this day because he really loved her, but before she can ask what Yamato would do if she were the one who went missing, there is a stranger with murder intent on the two police, and even the witnesses who happen to be there after being alerted by the gunshot: Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ran.<br />

Afterwards, the investigation that Conan asked Kazami to do, although did not find a person named Takashi Washizu, did find a person who shared the same name. Afterwards, the boy calls Amuro to get some more information, then sends a message under the name of Shinichi Kudo to Kogoro and Ran regarding the truth of the matter…<br />

=== Resolution ===<br />
<spoiler>At dusk, Conan, Kogoro, Morofushi and Ran meet with Otomo and Funakubo. The former reveal that '''Takashi Otomo is Takashi Washizu''', as his name could not be found in police records, and the marks on his arm and armpit correspond to that of using a rifle. Otomo however is not the criminal they think he is anymore, as after his parole, he came back and opened a mountain hut to shelter people and frequently tends to Maki's grave. He also saved Yamato's life when he was involved in the avalanche 10 months ago. He brought him to a phone booth to be saved and secretly left to avoid being seen. Funakubo is shocked to learn this and says that he has always wanted to kill him, but instead embraces and tells him that even though his daughter is no longer there, that he forgives Otomo.<br />
<br />
Later, the policemen move into the Nobeyama observatory and confront the real culprit, '''Atsunobu Hayashi'''.<br />
<br />
Then, when he is about to escape, Inspector Yamato suddenly appears and reveals that the avalanche had helped him remember that the face he had seen 10 months ago was Hayashi's. What Hayashi has been doing all this time is to collect radio waves from Japan's information-gathering satellites and military satellites from the United States, a close ally, and use that information to threaten the Japanese government about considering the plea bargain law. The prosecutor Rikuo Hasebe is actually a specialist from the Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center who had come to investigate the information about the data acquisition. In addition, according to the instructions of the national police, Sametani began investigating the aforementioned incident and knew the truth before Yamato did, this would prompt Hayashi to silence him forever. The reason Hayashi can’t accept the plea bargain law is because in his mind, the number of criminals who would do such things will increase while the number of victims who would suffer fate like Maki, his girlfriend, will increase as a consequence.<br />
<br />
{{People|Rikuo Hasebe|Rikuo Hasebe.jpg|<br />
* Specialist from the [[wikipedia:Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office|Cabinet Satellite Intelligence Center]]}}<br />
<br />
Still, he would attempt to escape like any other criminals with great ambitions and force almost everyone to participate in protecting national secrets. Here we will witness a spectacular team-up between the police inspectors, a roof-top rescue, and… a profound lesson for the police who go against the code of ethics of the police profession. <br />
<br />
==== Post-credit scene ====.<br />
<br />
In the post-credit scene, Furuya appears before Hayashi and presents him with a plea bargain: his sentence could be reduced from the death penalty to life imprisonment, on the condition that he stays silent about the PSB’s involvement. Hayashi reacts with fury, but Furuya reminds him that exposing the PSB would also expose his relationship with Maki—something that would severely damage public perception of both Maki and Enzo.<br />
<br />
Back at the hospital, the Nagano Police gather to discuss the recent events. Yui mentions that Conan had already told her Kansuke was alive. Taka’aki comments that Conan was simply being considerate, wanting to spare her unnecessary heartbreak. Kansuke, however, teases Yui for overreacting to the “loss” of a colleague. Yui firmly replies that her reaction went beyond professional concern—and that some bonds can’t be reduced to mere working relationships<br />

{{nihongo|'''James Black'''|ジェイムズ・ブラック|Jeimuzu Burakku}} is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a high ranking agent in the FBI.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
According to James Black's own account, he was born in London, England, in the Marylebone district of Westchester City, the same district where the original [[Wikipedia: Baker Street|Baker Street]] is located, before he moved to Chicago, growing up as a naturalized American citizen.<ref>Manga Chapter 325: Something the Lion Dropped</ref><br />
<br />
Black first met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], the [[Detective Boys]], and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] when he was visiting Japan to attend an animal show. They saved him from a crowd of reporters who mistook him for a famous American actor, the patron of the show. In fact, he was shortly afterwards kidnapped because of this, and it was thanks to Conan and the Tokyo police that Black was safely rescued from a dangerous hostage situation.<ref>Manga Chapters 325-327: Kidnapped Tourist Case</ref> At this time, Black developed a deep respect for Conan's intellect, calling him "Cool Guy".<br />
<br />
Conan didn't meet up with Black again until he encountered [[Jodie Starling]] again while trying to save a popular politician from an assassination attempt by the [[Black Organization]]. It was at this time that Black's allegiance with the FBI was revealed; Black is in fact the head of operations on the hunt for the Organization in Japan, and ever since this revelation, he and his colleagues have worked closely with Conan whenever their common cause would bring them together.<ref>Manga Chapter 502: A New Objective</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Stoic and collected, James Black often lets his underlings, chiefly [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]], take the initiative, knowing their capabilities, and for the same reason he listens to Conan's judgements as well.<br />
<!--- Black, like Starling, is deeply saddened when he learns of Shuichi's death, considering it a painful blow on not only the FBI, but on a personal level as well.<br />
Well, since James know about Shuichi's plan of faking his death, should this part be removed? Or should something be added to this?---><br />

After James is saved from the kidnappers, he disappears before the police can question him and meet up with [[Shuichi Akai]], the man from the bus incident.

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Colleagues ===<br />
==== Jodie Starling ====<br />
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and James hold a close subordinate relationship and James is shown to trust Jodie's judgement deeply and recognizes her strengths and weaknesses. He is close enough to Jodie to understand her thoughts, mainly as shown when he cautions Camel not to speak too much about Akai in front of her, understanding that Akai had been more than a mere FBI colleague to Jodie. The two have been acquainted prior to the series at least 20 years ago following the death of Jodie's father. Due to his respect for his deceased friend and concern for the girl's safety, James consistently tried persuading Jodie to join the Witness Protection Program, though the latter constantly refused over and over until a point at time in which she made a deal with James to join the Witness Protection Program under the promise that she be guaranteed a position in the FBI when she grew older. Despite often taking over the role of giving out orders, Jodie holds deep loyalty to James, whom she has shown to somewhat view as a father figure.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
While their relationship is not shown as much as Jodie's, it is shown that James holds high regard in [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s abilities and respects and trusts him deeply and vice versa. James has also noted Akai's habit of performing missions on his own and planning things without informing him or Jodie, but does not appear to bear a grudge because of it. He also appears to be knowledgeable of Akai's loner personality coming from Akemi's death, showing that he understands Akai quite well despite not having interacted with him much. James had shown to have taken Akai's death hard (though not to the same extent as Jodie), but is still able to maintain his composure despite the obvious tragedy. Later on, it was revealed that Black was in on the ploy to fake Akai's death, which would explain his maintaining his composure. A major hint to this is provided in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'', where [[Subaru Okiya]] (apparently Shuichi's undercover identity) is shown to be in secret contact with Black.<br />
<br />
Speculatively, James Black's English background may have assisted the young British-Japanese Shuichi Akai in fast-tracking his way to a US citizenship and then enrolling in the FBI.<br />
<br />
Curiously, James correctly identified Sera Masumi, Akai's younger sister, as being female, when almost every other person in the cast initially mistook her for a boy. James denies having seen her before, but it may also be related to any connections he had with Akai's family in the past.<br />
<br />
==== Andre Camel ====<br />
While their relationship is even less shown than Akai's, it is shown that James still trusted and respected [[Andre Camel|Camel]]. The two were shown spending time as friends along with Jodie at a liquor store at one point, where Camel's less-than-sensitive personality causes Jodie to storm out of the store, with James later cautioning Camel to not mention Akai's name in front of Jodie, knowing that she had taken his death particularly hard, having viewed him as more than a mere FBI colleague.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
==== Conan Edogawa ====<br />
James is one of the few adults that views [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] as an equal and the even fewer few that seemingly knows his true identity due to being part of the FBI. As such, James holds high regard in Conan's abilities and trusts him deeply. He also has the habit of calling Conan, "Cool-guy".<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
Haibara notes that James Black's name is similar to [[Wikipedia: James Bond|James Bond]], and both are British as well. Conan points out that there is another British man with a similar name: [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|James Moriarty]].<br />

{{nihongo|'''James Black'''|ジェイムズ・ブラック|Jeimuzu Burakku}} is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a high ranking agent in the FBI.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
According to James Black's own account, he was born in London, England, in the Marylebone district of Westchester City, the same district where the original [[Wikipedia: Baker Street|Baker Street]] is located, before he moved to Chicago, growing up as a naturalized American citizen.<ref>Manga Chapter 325: Something the Lion Dropped</ref><br />
<br />
Black first met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], the [[Detective Boys]], and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] when he was visiting Japan to attend an animal show. They saved him from a crowd of reporters who mistook him for a famous American actor, the patron of the show. In fact, he was shortly afterwards kidnapped because of this, and it was thanks to Conan and the Tokyo police that Black was safely rescued from a dangerous hostage situation.<ref>Manga Chapters 325-327: Kidnapped Tourist Case</ref> At this time, Black developed a deep respect for Conan's intellect, calling him "Cool Guy".<br />
<br />
Conan didn't meet up with Black again until he encountered [[Jodie Starling]] again while trying to save a popular politician from an assassination attempt by the [[Black Organization]]. It was at this time that Black's allegiance with the FBI was revealed; Black is in fact the head of operations on the hunt for the Organization in Japan, and ever since this revelation, he and his colleagues have worked closely with Conan whenever their common cause would bring them together.<ref>Manga Chapter 502: A New Objective</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Stoic and collected, James Black often lets his underlings, chiefly [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]], take the initiative, knowing their capabilities, and for the same reason he listens to Conan's judgements as well.<br />
<!--- Black, like Starling, is deeply saddened when he learns of Shuichi's death, considering it a painful blow on not only the FBI, but on a personal level as well.<br />
Well, since James know about Shuichi's plan of faking his death, should this part be removed? Or should something be added to this?---><br />

{{nihongo|'''James Black'''|ジェイムズ・ブラック|Jeimuzu Burakku}} is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a high ranking agent in the FBI.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
According to James Black's own account, he was born in London, England, in the Marylebone district of Westchester City, the same district where the original [[Wikipedia: Baker Street|Baker Street]] is located, before he moved to Chicago, growing up as a naturalized American citizen.<ref>Manga Chapter 325: Something the Lion Dropped</ref><br />
<br />
Black first met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], the [[Detective Boys]], and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] when he was visiting Japan to attend an animal show. They saved him from a crowd of reporters who mistook him for a famous American actor, the patron of the show. In fact, he was shortly afterwards kidnapped because of this, and it was thanks to Conan and the Tokyo police that Black was safely rescued from a dangerous hostage situation.<ref>Manga Chapters 325-327: Kidnapped Tourist Case</ref> At this time, Black developed a deep respect for Conan's intellect, calling him "Cool Guy".<br />
<br />
Conan didn't meet up with Black again until he encountered [[Jodie Starling]] again while trying to save a popular politician from an assassination attempt by the [[Black Organization]]. It was at this time that Black's allegiance with the FBI was revealed; Black is in fact the head of operations on the hunt for the Organization in Japan, and ever since this revelation, he and his colleagues have worked closely with Conan whenever their common cause would bring them together.<ref>Manga Chapter 502: A New Objective</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Stoic and collected, James Black often lets his underlings, chiefly [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]], take the initiative, knowing their capabilities, and for the same reason he listens to Conan's judgements as well.<br />
<!--- Black, like Starling, is deeply saddened when he learns of Shuichi's death, considering it a painful blow on not only the FBI, but on a personal level as well.<br />
Well, since James know about Shuichi's plan of faking his death, should this part be removed? Or should something be added to this?---><br />

James decides to invite them out for lunch as gratitude for helping him but on the way to get his car, he gets kidnapped by some fake policemen who mistake him as Randy Hawk and are using him as a hostage for ransom. Before he got forced in the car, James left a clue for Conan to find him in a police car. After James is saved from the kidnappers, he disappears before the police can question him and meet up with [[Shuichi Akai]], the man from the bus incident. It is revealed that James knew that the kidnappers were fake policemen due to them not asking for his name in the beginning. James asks Shuichi that since he called him if it is possible to get back with his “lover”, which Shuichi says yes too.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Colleagues ===<br />
==== Jodie Starling ====<br />
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and James hold a close subordinate relationship and James is shown to trust Jodie's judgement deeply and recognizes her strengths and weaknesses. He is close enough to Jodie to understand her thoughts, mainly as shown when he cautions Camel not to speak too much about Akai in front of her, understanding that Akai had been more than a mere FBI colleague to Jodie. The two have been acquainted prior to the series at least 20 years ago following the death of Jodie's father. Due to his respect for his deceased friend and concern for the girl's safety, James consistently tried persuading Jodie to join the Witness Protection Program, though the latter constantly refused over and over until a point at time in which she made a deal with James to join the Witness Protection Program under the promise that she be guaranteed a position in the FBI when she grew older. Despite often taking over the role of giving out orders, Jodie holds deep loyalty to James, whom she has shown to somewhat view as a father figure.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
While their relationship is not shown as much as Jodie's, it is shown that James holds high regard in [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s abilities and respects and trusts him deeply and vice versa. James has also noted Akai's habit of performing missions on his own and planning things without informing him or Jodie, but does not appear to bear a grudge because of it. He also appears to be knowledgeable of Akai's loner personality coming from Akemi's death, showing that he understands Akai quite well despite not having interacted with him much. James had shown to have taken Akai's death hard (though not to the same extent as Jodie), but is still able to maintain his composure despite the obvious tragedy. Later on, it was revealed that Black was in on the ploy to fake Akai's death, which would explain his maintaining his composure. A major hint to this is provided in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'', where [[Subaru Okiya]] (apparently Shuichi's undercover identity) is shown to be in secret contact with Black.<br />
<br />
Speculatively, James Black's English background may have assisted the young British-Japanese Shuichi Akai in fast-tracking his way to a US citizenship and then enrolling in the FBI.<br />
<br />
Curiously, James correctly identified Sera Masumi, Akai's younger sister, as being female, when almost every other person in the cast initially mistook her for a boy. James denies having seen her before, but it may also be related to any connections he had with Akai's family in the past.<br />
<br />
==== Andre Camel ====<br />
While their relationship is even less shown than Akai's, it is shown that James still trusted and respected [[Andre Camel|Camel]]. The two were shown spending time as friends along with Jodie at a liquor store at one point, where Camel's less-than-sensitive personality causes Jodie to storm out of the store, with James later cautioning Camel to not mention Akai's name in front of Jodie, knowing that she had taken his death particularly hard, having viewed him as more than a mere FBI colleague.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
==== Conan Edogawa ====<br />
James is one of the few adults that views [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] as an equal and the even fewer few that seemingly knows his true identity due to being part of the FBI. As such, James holds high regard in Conan's abilities and trusts him deeply. He also has the habit of calling Conan, "Cool-guy".<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
Haibara notes that James Black's name is similar to [[Wikipedia: James Bond|James Bond]], and both are British as well. Conan points out that there is another British man with a similar name: [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|James Moriarty]].<br />

{{nihongo|'''Kazuha Toyama'''|遠山 和葉|Tōyama Kazuha}}, also known as '''Kirsten Thomas''' in the [[Funimation]] dub and Katrina Tolliver in the video game ''[[Detective Conan: The Mirage of Remembrance|Case Closed: The Mirapolis Investigation]]'', is character in the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is a childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Heiji Hattori]].<br />
<br />
Despite the names given for her in the English Dub of the anime and video game, the [[Viz Media]] manga retains her original Japanese name.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Cuffed.png|thumb|left|200px|Heiji and Kazuha cuffed together as children.]]<br />
Kazuha and [[Heiji Hattori]] have been close friends since childhood. Their fathers work together at the Osaka Police station, where Kazuha's father, [[Ginshiro Toyama]] is a close friend and partner of Heiji's father, Police Chief [[Heizo Hattori]]. Her 43-year-old mother is mentioned in episode 573, where she wanted Heiji to bring Kazuha her drink bottle.<br />
<br />
At one time in their youth, Heiji had had the unfortunate idea of locking themselves together with a set of old handcuffs which had no key and could not be unlocked; as a result they had to involuntarily 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="StabbedWallet">Manga Volume 19: File 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref> At some later point, Kazuha added a picture of Heiji into her own charm pouch.<ref>Manga Chapters 693-695: Kazuha's Charm Case</ref><br />
<br />
After Heiji met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and discovered his [[Shinichi Kudo|true identity]], he talked about him so frequently and enthusiastically to Kazuha that she became convinced that Heiji was in love with a Tokyo girl named 'Kudo'. When Heiji invited Conan, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] to Osaka, Kazuha spied on them, believing Ran to be 'Kudo.' At an okonomiyaki restaurant, when Heiji got up for a moment, Kazuha sat down in his seat and warned Ran to back off him, at which point Heiji returned, the misunderstanding was cleared up, and Heiji laughed at Kazuha's behavior.<ref name="SerialKillerofNaniwa">Manga Volume 19: Chapters 5-8 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref> In their next meeting, Kazuha continued to treat Ran coldly, pointing out that Ran and Heiji's clothes had coincidentally matched the last few times they had been together. In response, Ran immediately changed clothes, after which point the girls became much friendlier.<ref name="Wedding Murder">Manga Volume 21: File 211 (Wedding Murder Case)</ref> As time passes, Kazuha and Ran grows into close friends, and Kazuha always sleeps in Ran's room whenever she stays in Tokyo.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Kazuha has a hot temper and can be highly critical of people around her. She has been hinted to have a high level of intelligence, as she was able to deduce a dying message in an episode even more quickly than either Ran or Kogoro could (albeit with slight help from Heiji). Moreover, she is highly confrontational, and unafraid of letting others know about her dislike, even showing no hesitation or concern in confronting Heiji in a men's restroom. This trait leads to frequent shouting matches with Heiji, but it also allowed her and Ran to forge a strong friendship despite the fact that Kazuha, believing that Ran was Heiji's new girlfriend, took an initial deep dislike to Ran out of jealousy. Affection and approval are apparently much harder for her to express, most significantly with regard to Heiji; she is perfectly aware of her feelings for him and, after a few initial attempts to deny it to Ran, openly discusses her love for Heiji with her. However, even when a good opening appears to discuss her feelings with him, she instead panics and does her best to pretend that she and Heiji are 'only friends'. Although she has tried and failed to confess to Heiji twice already, Kazuha is determined to make her feelings clear to him one day.<br />
<br />
She also has a marked belief in spirits, good-luck charms, and other superstitions. Right from her first experience, she displayed her belief in the importance of hers and Heiji's omamori, charms which Kazuha made to protect her and Heiji from harm. And indeed, during the case in which this is revealed, Heiji lent Conan his omamori, and the metal inside the charm stopped a knife blade that could have killed Conan.<ref name="SerialKillerofNaniwa"/> On subsequent cases, Kazuha is quick to attribute mysterious shadows and strange events to ghosts and other malignant spirits, which usually sends Ran into panic as well, though she herself does not possess a morbid fear of ghosts as much as Ran does.<br />
<br />
In the anime original episodes 965-968, it was revealed she loves kaiju like Gomera and Kamen Yaiba.<br />
<br />
She also like any normal girl characters screams at sight of a dead body.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Kazuha has dark brown hair which she always wears in a neck-length pony tail, and uses ribbons of different colors (usually matching that of her clothes) to secure her hair. She rarely lets her hair down, and when it is not tied up in a ponytail, it falls down to her mid-back/waist. She has green eyes and fair complexion, her skin tone being even lighter than Ran's. She has a fairly slim and curvaceous, athletic build just like Ran herself. It is shown that Kazuha is of around the same height as Ran and slightly shorter than Heiji. Kazuha's way of dressing ranges from shirt and jeans to (occasionally) dresses. Despite being tomboyish, she is known to be attractive. Multiple men have shown interest in her, though she is usually oblivious, and her innocence in turn annoys Heiji.<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
=== Martial arts ===<br />
Kazuha is a 2-dan in aikido, showing great proficiency in various body-locks and throws. It is a skill she has exhibited multiple times to taking down several criminals, even when much larger than her.<ref name="SerialKillerofNaniwa"/> Her aikido skills also make Heiji afraid of her and her strength, likewise warning criminals to not attack her.<br />
<br />
=== Intelligence and deduction ===<br />
Kazuha seems to be rather intelligent, as shown in [[Which One's Deduction Show| Episode Which One's Deduction Show]] when [[Heiji]] gave a clue about the code which Kazuha understood while neither Ran or Kogoro could figure out. She also took up karuta and held her own against [[Momiji Ooka]], implying that Kazuha is quick-minded and has a good memory. In movie 21, Kazuha said she joined the karuta club. She played against Momiji who is very skilled. Despite losing, she was able to go until last match.<br />
<br />
=== Cooking ===<br />
Whenever Kazuha visits Ran, she often helps her with cooking or they'll occupy themselves by cooking, as seen in Heiji Hattori's Vampire Mansion episode where they made gyozas instead of chasing the killer because they were scared.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Stabbed Wallet Case (Manga: [[Volume 19#Stabbed Wallet Case|185-188]], Anime: [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case|118]]) ===<br />

She asks him if he really means what he says, and Heiji, after hesitating for a second, says "yes", thus confessing his love for her. Later at the conclusion, Heiji and Kazuha are seen coming back from the observation deck holding hands.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Heiji Hattori ===<br />
{{main|Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama}}<br />
Heiji's relationship with 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. 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 an interest in him. In on of the mangas, Kazuha attempts to confess her feelings after finding out that Shinichi had done so with Ran (in the [[Holmes' Revelation]] Arc), but is unlucky because on hearing that, Heiji ran off to tease Shinichi/Conan for it. She once even attempted to sacrifice herself to save Heiji during a case in which they accidentally both fell off a cliff (episodes named [[And Then There Were No Mermaids]]). When the branch they were both hanging on started breaking, she stabbed him in his hand with an arrow of love, to force him to let her fall; however, Heiji still held on, saying that he will not let go of her, and managed to pull both of them to safety. Heiji is clueless when it comes to love, but he has now realised he has feelings for Kazuha ever since the Ebisu Bridge incident. Consequently, he constantly tries to bring her to romantic spots so he can simultaneously confess to her and one-up Shinichi's confession to Ran. Thus far, he has not been successful since he's been interrupted each time by cases, and once, the Japanese self-defence [[Conan and Heiji's Nue Legend]].<br />
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's daughter, like Ran is a police'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. In [[OVA 9]], Heiji and Kazuha have been shown to be a famous couple, who are close to marriage. However, all this was just a feverish hallucination of Conan's.<br />
<br />
=== Ran Mouri ===<br />
Despite having rather different temperaments and personalities, Kazuha and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] have several things in common, including: proficiency in a martial art, father's connection to police work and detective work, and detective-obsessed childhood love interests. Kazuha was initially cold and rude to Ran, suspecting her of being interested in Heiji. However, thanks to Kazuha's frankness and Ran's accommodating nature, the girls quickly overcame this misunderstanding. In episode 141, Ran and Kazuha's friendship grows after Ran quickly changes shirts to prove to Kazuha that she didn't wear the striped pattern because Heiji did. In Episode 166 Ran and Kazuha become close friends, both even poking fun at each other for having crime loving boyfriends. They have since become close friends and seem to regard each other as confidantes, since they are in similar romantic situations: Ran and Shinichi cannot confess their feelings for each other, as Shinichi is, aside from telephone calls, physically absent from her life, and Kazuha and Heiji cannot confess their feelings for each other due to their own stubbornness and irascibility. While Conan/Shinichi and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend the time together. When Kazuha visits the Mouris' in Tokyo with Heiji, she is shown to share Ran's bed.<br />
<br />
=== Shinichi Kudo ===<br />
[[File:M7-Shinichi and Kazuha.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi and Kazuha.]]<br />
Kazuha respects [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] as a great detective like Heiji. Sometimes she refers to Shinichi as a better detective than Heiji, much to Heiji's jealousy and annoyance.<br />
When Heiji was tricked into attending a fake contest and went missing, Kazuha said that she would have been much better at ease if Kudo had been with him.<br />

{{nihongo|'''James Black'''|ジェイムズ・ブラック|Jeimuzu Burakku}} is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a high ranking agent in the FBI.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
According to James Black's own account, he was born in London, England, in the Marylebone district of Westchester City, the same district where the original [[Wikipedia: Baker Street|Baker Street]] is located, before he moved to Chicago, growing up as a naturalized American citizen.<ref>Manga Chapter 325: Something the Lion Dropped</ref><br />
<br />
Black first met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], the [[Detective Boys]], and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] when he was visiting Japan to attend an animal show. They saved him from a crowd of reporters who mistook him for a famous American actor, the patron of the show. In fact, he was shortly afterwards kidnapped because of this, and it was thanks to Conan and the Tokyo police that Black was safely rescued from a dangerous hostage situation.<ref>Manga Chapters 325-327: Kidnapped Tourist Case</ref> At this time, Black developed a deep respect for Conan's intellect, calling him "Cool Guy".<br />
<br />
Conan didn't meet up with Black again until he encountered [[Jodie Starling]] again while trying to save a popular politician from an assassination attempt by the [[Black Organization]]. It was at this time that Black's allegiance with the FBI was revealed; Black is in fact the head of operations on the hunt for the Organization in Japan, and ever since this revelation, he and his colleagues have worked closely with Conan whenever their common cause would bring them together.<ref>Manga Chapter 502: A New Objective</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Stoic and collected, James Black often lets his underlings, chiefly [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]], take the initiative, knowing their capabilities, and for the same reason he listens to Conan's judgements as well.<br />
<!--- Black, like Starling, is deeply saddened when he learns of Shuichi's death, considering it a painful blow on not only the FBI, but on a personal level as well.<br />
Well, since James know about Shuichi's plan of faking his death, should this part be removed? Or should something be added to this?---><br />

<br />
James is first seen getting mistaken by reporters for Randy Hawk, a rich person who sponsors zoos and animal shows. After Conan realizes that James wasn’t Randy Hawk, he and the detective boys save him by pretending that he is their grandpa. James decides to invite them out for lunch as gratitude for helping him but on the way to get his car, he gets kidnapped by some fake policemen who mistake him as Randy Hawk and are using him as a hostage for ransom. Before he got forced in the car, James left a clue for Conan to find him in a police car. After James is saved from the kidnappers, he disappears before the police can question him and meet up with [[Shuichi Akai]], the man from the bus incident. It is revealed that James knew that the kidnappers were fake policemen due to them not asking for his name in the beginning. James asks Shuichi that since he called him if it is possible to get back with his “lover”, which Shuichi says yes too.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Colleagues ===<br />
==== Jodie Starling ====<br />
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and James hold a close subordinate relationship and James is shown to trust Jodie's judgement deeply and recognizes her strengths and weaknesses. He is close enough to Jodie to understand her thoughts, mainly as shown when he cautions Camel not to speak too much about Akai in front of her, understanding that Akai had been more than a mere FBI colleague to Jodie. The two have been acquainted prior to the series at least 20 years ago following the death of Jodie's father. Due to his respect for his deceased friend and concern for the girl's safety, James consistently tried persuading Jodie to join the Witness Protection Program, though the latter constantly refused over and over until a point at time in which she made a deal with James to join the Witness Protection Program under the promise that she be guaranteed a position in the FBI when she grew older. Despite often taking over the role of giving out orders, Jodie holds deep loyalty to James, whom she has shown to somewhat view as a father figure.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
While their relationship is not shown as much as Jodie's, it is shown that James holds high regard in [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s abilities and respects and trusts him deeply and vice versa. James has also noted Akai's habit of performing missions on his own and planning things without informing him or Jodie, but does not appear to bear a grudge because of it. He also appears to be knowledgeable of Akai's loner personality coming from Akemi's death, showing that he understands Akai quite well despite not having interacted with him much. James had shown to have taken Akai's death hard (though not to the same extent as Jodie), but is still able to maintain his composure despite the obvious tragedy. Later on, it was revealed that Black was in on the ploy to fake Akai's death, which would explain his maintaining his composure. A major hint to this is provided in the movie ''[[Dimensional Sniper]]'', where [[Subaru Okiya]] (apparently Shuichi's undercover identity) is shown to be in secret contact with Black.<br />
<br />
Speculatively, James Black's English background may have assisted the young British-Japanese Shuichi Akai in fast-tracking his way to a US citizenship and then enrolling in the FBI.<br />
<br />
Curiously, James correctly identified Sera Masumi, Akai's younger sister, as being female, when almost every other person in the cast initially mistook her for a boy. James denies having seen her before, but it may also be related to any connections he had with Akai's family in the past.<br />
<br />
==== Andre Camel ====<br />
While their relationship is even less shown than Akai's, it is shown that James still trusted and respected [[Andre Camel|Camel]]. The two were shown spending time as friends along with Jodie at a liquor store at one point, where Camel's less-than-sensitive personality causes Jodie to storm out of the store, with James later cautioning Camel to not mention Akai's name in front of Jodie, knowing that she had taken his death particularly hard, having viewed him as more than a mere FBI colleague.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
==== Conan Edogawa ====<br />
James is one of the few adults that views [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] as an equal and the even fewer few that seemingly knows his true identity due to being part of the FBI. As such, James holds high regard in Conan's abilities and trusts him deeply. He also has the habit of calling Conan, "Cool-guy".<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
Haibara notes that James Black's name is similar to [[Wikipedia: James Bond|James Bond]], and both are British as well. Conan points out that there is another British man with a similar name: [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|James Moriarty]].<br />

{{nihongo|'''Eri Kisaki'''|妃 英理|Kisaki Eri}}, known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利 英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to use her maiden name again after she began living separately from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization, her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]]. <br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eri and her childhood friend, Yukiko Kudo.]]<br />
The separately-living wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a defense lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.<br />
<br />
Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref><br />
<br />
In high school, Eri and her schoolmate and close friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]], was involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" pageant and were tied in the number of votes, due to the lateness of Kogoro.<ref name=Alike>[[Alike Princesses|Episode 333-334: Alike Princesses]]</ref> He had forgotten to vote, and by the time he had come to vote, it was too late.<ref name=Alike /> It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, he thought that the "Miss" meant "mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to her anger later on.<ref name=Alike/><br />
{{clearleft}}<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Eri's pet cat, Goro, whom she named after Kogoro.]]<br />
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee/><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike/> Even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee/><br />
<br />
Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She is also tactical and has high moral ground, generally avoids accepting requests from people with clear criminal act<ref name=client>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> unless she believes that there is something behind the scene or the request is related to the case she and/or Kogoro are investigating in.<br />
<br />
She has a cat, a [[Wikipedia: Russian Blue|Russian Blue]] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf/> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].<br />
<br />
Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half-jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee/> In chapter 985, it's revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).<br />
<br />
Eri is shown to care for those she knows and loves, like in movie 4, she came and stayed with Kogoro, because Ran had amnesia. In episode 474, she worried about her cat goro so much that she cried. She said she doesn't care about Kogoro. But in reality, however, she still loves him and said if he wouldn't flirt, she would return. In an episode, she pretended to not hear him because she isn't ready.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Eri is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman. She has long and wavy brown hair reaching her lower-back with shorter bangs framing the sides of her face, most of which she usually keeps done up in a bun. Slender yet very curvaceous in built, she is shown to be very beautiful and admired by most men, using her wedding ring despite the separation as a deterrent to would-be suiters (while secretly also because she still loves Kogoro). She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Yukiko Kudo. She wears simple black glasses and is commonly seen wearing business suits.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
===Intelligence===<br />
Eri is highly intelligent and skilled at solving cases, as in her first appearance she was able to find out the identity of the culprit and how the culprit did it. In other cases, she was able to find clues faster than Conan and give it to the officer in charge. With her sharp eye for detail, she has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate. She achieved a perfect score on the Tokyo College entrance exam and at only the age of 16, was recommended to study at Harvard College. <ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect /><br />
<br />
===Martial arts===<br />
Eri has advanced skilled at judo, being taught by her Kogoro. Her normal technique is ippon seoi-nage (one-arm shoulder throw) which she uses when facing criminals. She is shown to be fast and precise in her performance, able to quickly react to assailants much bigger than her and just as easily counter their attacks.<br />
<br />
===Other skills===<br />
She is considered to be a skilled lawyer, while Ran considers her best. In movie 2, she was said to be horrible at cooking and Gosho Aoyama said in super digest book that her bad cooking is also part of canon. She is revealed to be a talented knitter, having made several sweaters for her family.<br />

[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Eri.]]<br />
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both, wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective!

<br />
[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]<br />
<br />
In ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]'', Eri and Kogoro are shown having a great time eating dinner, but it ends when Kogoro looks out the window and sees the very attractive owner of the bar that he visits.<ref name=target/> This makes Eri turn angry and act how she normally acts to Kogoro. In the two-part episode, ''[[Scuba Diving Murder Case]]'', Eri accidentally loses her wedding ring on the beach, but pretends to have left it at home to see if Kogoro noticed.<ref name=scuba/> She gets visibly angry when Kogoro doesn't appear to notice it, especially when he leaves their lunch early to go back to the beach.<ref name=scuba/> Later, it is discovered that Kogoro had always known that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, and had gone back to the beach to look for it.<ref name=scuba/> This left a visibly shocked Eri to drive home speechless, but pleased.<ref name=scuba/><br />
<br />
In another episode, Eri captures a confession from Kogoro saying that he misses her and wishes she would come back to him on a minidisc, replaying it over and over again afterwards.<ref name=Suspect/> However, even though they both miss each other, both of them still pretend not to care, and even become incredibly nasty to each other.<ref name=scuba/> Kogoro even goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by her professional rival [[Reiko Kujo]] to try and get under Eri's skin.<ref name=Battle>[[Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro|Episode 264-265: Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro]]</ref> However, her plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony can help out Eri's case instead of Reiko's.<ref name=Battle/><br />
{{clearleft}}<br />
<br />
==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====<br />
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old<ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each other's lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again<ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>. Ran was determined to save Eri from her kidnappers in [[Lawyer Kisaki's SOS]].<br />
<br />
==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====<br />
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).<br />
<br />
On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime since he hasn't met her for ten years.<br />
<br />
==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====<br />
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote. After leaving Kogoro she hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
=== Rival ===<br />
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====<br />
Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor and rival of Eri Kisaki. They compete in several anime-only episodes called variations of "Courtroom Confrontation".<br />

'''{{nihongo|Ai Haibara|灰原 哀|Haibara Ai}}''', real name '''{{nihongo|[[Shiho Miyano]]|宮野 志保|Miyano Shiho}}''', is the creator of [[APTX 4869]], the pill that shrunk [[Shinichi Kudo]] into [[Conan Edogawa]], and a victim of it herself. Formerly '''{{nihongo|Sherry|シェリー|Sherī}}''' 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]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
=== Shiho Miyano ===<br />
[[File:Shiho in shinichi house.PNG|thumb|left|200px|Shiho and other organization members go to investigate the death of Shinichi in his house.]]<br />
{{main|Shiho Miyano}}<br />
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 a 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 Shiho was groomed to take over her parents' research. 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)<br>Manga [[Volume 78]], Files 1-7 (818-824)</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 boyfriend 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. 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> where she was given the codename "Sherry", after the alcoholic drink.<br />
[[File:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shiho swallows [[APTX 4869]].]]<br />
Shiho was about 18 years old when she developed the experimental test compound [[APTX 4869]]. While researching its effects, she discovered that it could be used as a poison to kill without leaving any traces of itself in a body. She then noticed that one of her lab mice had become smaller 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. Shiho and her team searched Shinichi's house twice to confirm his death, however it lead her to suspect Shinichi had shrunk instead. However, Shiho confirmed him as deceased so the organization would not look into the matter further and kill him after all.<br />
<br />
Shiho was unhappy that the Black Organization was using the incomplete APTX 4869 for murder, as she believed that was not the drug's intended purpose. When Shiho learned of Akemi's death, but was given no explanation, she decided to boycott her research until the Black Organization gave her an explanation. Instead, the Organization confined her in a small room to await her execution. With no other way out, she took APTX 4869 intending to commit suicide, but instead shrank. In her new, smaller body, she escaped and attempted to reach Shinichi's house. There she collapsed and was found by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], who eventually adopted her.<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> 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><br />
<br />
=== Ai Haibara ===<br />
[[File:Haibara founded infront of Kudo's house.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Haibara collapsed in front of Kudo's house.]]<br />
To prevent the knowledge of her transfiguration from being discovered, Shiho and Professor Agasa create her alias ''Ai Haibara''. As Ai Haibara, she attends [[Teitan Elementary School]] with Shinichi Kudo's shrunken form, [[Conan Edogawa]]. Following her first adventure with the [[Detective Boys]], she reveals her true identity as the developer of [[APTX 4869]] to Conan,<ref>Manga Chapter 178: Code Name Sherry</ref> and also accurately deduces Conan as Shinichi in the shrunken form, though her deduction is based on prior knowledge of her research and investigation of Shinichi Kudo. Conan protests her presence,<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> but as time passes, he accepts her as a friend, though her cynicism and secretive air still rail him at times. Although she does not think too highly of the Detective Boys' immature antics, she has come to value them all as close friends.<br />
<br />
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]] to leave Haibara in peace after ruining a murderous plot.<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple</ref> This fragile peace lasts until Sherry's whereabouts leak to the rest of the Black Organization and a second murder plot occurs aboard a train. A counter plan results in an explosion that preserves Shiho's secret identity. Currently all major Black Organization members besides Vermouth believe Sherry is dead.<br />
<br />
Currently she idolizes footballer [[Higo Ryusuke]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[File:Ai - Sai Brand's Wallet.jpg|thumb|200px|Haibara asking for a ''Fusae Brand'''s wallet for her cooperation.]]<br />
Haibara has a calm and cool personality, sarcastic wit, and high intelligence. When she first escaped from the Black Organization, she was cynical and pushed others away. However, Haibara has since 'defrosted' by embracing her new childhood life and has developed strong relationships with the Detective Boys, Agasa, and Ran.<br />
<br />
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 impressive 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 233: The Evidence That Didn't Disappear]] where she explains the death of Marie-Antoinette</ref>); and on occasion she is so forceful and demanding that she can stun adults several decades above her current physical age into submission. 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><br />
[[File:Episode213.JPG|thumb|left|200px|Mitsuhiko assisting Haibara after bandaging her sprained foot.]]<br />
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. 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>[[Volume 65#Dangerous Couple Case|Manga Chapter 680: A Dangerous Couple]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite spending most of her time alone at the lab, Haibara shows excellent understanding of reading people's mind. Examples include Haibara deducing that Ayumi had a crush on Conan, figuring out Conan was about to tell his identity to Ran, or understanding the anger of Kobayashi when confronting Inspector Shiratori. Thanks to this ability, Haibara can remind Conan about the situation and make him act appropriately, not to reveal his identity.<br />
<br />
In the OVA ''[[A Secret Order From London]]'', Haibara reveals to [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] that she likes peanut butter and blueberry jelly sandwiches, from her schooldays in America. She has also mentioned that she only make it with "American peanut butter and jelly exclusively sold in international grocery store". 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><br />
<br />
=== Taste for fashion ===<br />
[[File:Haibara and fashion.png|thumb|200px|Haibara reading fashion magazine 'Com Com'.]]<br />
Haibara seems to have some interest in fashion, as she has made repeated requests for certain types of accessories, particularly of the [[Fusae Brand|Fusae]] and Prada brands. 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> When observing the suspects in a case, what caught her attention was the bag the suspect was carrying. She recognized that the bag was the newest Fusae brand model, and added that it wasn't on sale in Japan yet.<ref>[[Conan and Heiji, Code of Love|Episode 763-764: Conan and Heiji, Code of Love]]</ref> She is also seen with a Prada cell phone case in the Mystery Train case.<br />
<br />
Haibara reads 'ComCom' magazine (a name similar to Japan's 'CanCam' fashion magazine).<ref>[[The Lost Ship in the Sky|Movie 14: ''The Lost Ship in the Sky'']]</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.<br />
<br />
=== Fan of popular stars ===<br />
[[File:766-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Haibara's listening to "Dandy Lion".]]<br />
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 [[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>[[Volume 34#Soccer Supporter Case|Manga Chapters 344-346: Soccer Supporter Case]]</ref><ref>Anime episodes 279-280: "[[Hooligan's Labyrinth]]"</ref> Haibara also liked to hear [[Yoko]]'s songs due to the fact that Higo also likes the songs.<ref>[[Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case|Episode 765-766: Teimuzu River Kite Flying Case]]</ref> However, she later deleted all of Yoko's songs because of the rumored date between Yoko and Ryusuke. At the end of the case, she renews her interest in both of them and goes to play soccer with the Detective Boys while singing Yoko's song "Dandy Lion".<ref>[[Volume 87#A Secret of the Big Couple|A Secret of the Big Couple]]</ref> She has also shown an interest in Kabuki and one of the well known kabuki actors, Ichikawa Ebizo, in the episode Conan and Ebizo's Kabuki Juhachiban Mystery. She introduced herself to Ebizo as one of the Detective Boys and Conan's assistant, assuming a more endearing demeanor, which the children noted, during their conversation in the search for Conan.<br />
<br />
In non-canon, Haibara is a fan of Sannomiya Kazunori, an actor playing a detective role. She was really annoyed and slapped Conan (in a bath house) when he teased her on liking Sannomiya.<ref>''A Challenge from Detective Boys'' radio drama</ref><br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
Haibara has a fair complexion and a small, slender build typical of an elementary school student. Her most distinctive feature is her light brown hair, often depicted with reddish or auburn tones, styled in a short bob cut with a gentle outward curl at the ends. Her bangs are parted slightly off-center, framing her large, expressive eyes, which are a striking shade of blue—though some early illustrations show them leaning toward blue-green.<br />
<br />
Her typical clothing consists of casual, modest outfits suited to her apparent age—such as sweaters, blouses, and skirts or shorts in muted colors like navy, gray, or beige. She is usually seen in a white lab coat when she is at Agasa’s house. <br />
<br />
== Abilities and skills ==<br />
=== Biochemistry ===<br />
Shiho/Haibara 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.<br />
<br />
=== Medical knowledge ===<br />
Shiho/Haibara 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> In [[A Code of Stars and Tobacco]] case, she recognized the bones of a deceased person, even though the bones are scattered, and she recognized, "Mandible, humorus, femur,"<br />
<br />
=== Detective skills ===<br />
Shiho/Haibara was able to deduce Conan as Shinichi by inspecting the clues left in Kudo residence. She shows sharp observation, keen thinking process and ability to make logical deduction; however, unlike Conan/Shinichi, she often lacks specialized knowledge or experience to make the conclusive argument to solve the case. Moreover, to avoid attention, she stays quiet, which Conan often takes the spotlight. Haibara does not identify herself as a "mystery freak" as Conan. In the few cases that Haibara leads the investigation, she shows that she can be a great detective on her own, although this is not her prime speciality. Haibara has also known to read some mysteries like<br />
Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot novels and PD James's Cordelia Gray novel but it is not known whether she enjoys the genre.<br />
<br />
=== "Black Organization sense" ===<br />
[[Image:Ai's BO radar.png|thumb|right|200px|Shiho as Haibara senses a Black Organization member is nearby.]]<br />
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 Shuichi 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|Subaru]], or [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] passing by pursuing [[James Black]]), or context sensitive (when Akemi was planning the bank robbery).<br />
<br />
It is also possible that it mostly activates, when she senses danger, and esp. when she is the target. When she first met Kuroda, she appeared frightened, but she explained later that his face was frightening, and was easily backed up by the rest of the Detective Boys. It momentarily activated in Mystery of the Burning Tent, but it was fleeting, and she says that she likes the teacher, and "Does not want to hear anything bad about her" to Conan, whose only getting much more suspicious of the teacher. So far, she has not met Wakita, or even seen him.<br />
<br />
To be truthful, Conan seems to be suspicious of 2, maybe 3 of the new one-eyed people, so maybe her Black Organization sense tranferred to him since those two are primarily interested in him, and not her. In fact, hers may be dissapating, if she feels safe.<br />
<br />
=== Pain tolerance ===<br />
[[Gin|Like]] [[Vermouth|other]] Black Organization members, Haibara as 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.<br />
<br />
Additionally, she climbs barefoot up a chimney while extremely sick from the effects of a cold combined with ''[[paikaru]]''-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.<br />
<br />
=== Shooting ===<br />
Shiho/Haibara is familiar with firearms. As Haibara, she was confident enough to intentionally miss a shot with a handgun. Despite the recoil of shooting in her first grade body, it did not seem to effect her in the slightest.<ref>[[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|Episode 129: The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case]]</ref><br />
<br />
=== Driving ===<br />
In The Movie [[Crossover]] : Lupin III vs Detective Conan, Haibara is able to ride a Harley motorbike, she stated that she used to own a Harley when she was Shiho.<br />
[[File:Haibara Flute.png|thumb|right|200px|Haibara played the recorder to send a message "S H O O T" to Conan in [[Full_Score_of_Fear|Conan the movie12]].]]<br />
In The Special Episode : Disappearance of Edogawa Conan, she is shown driving a car as Haibara.<br />
<br />
=== Football ===<br />
Initially Haibara wasn't interested in football, but thanks to Conan she now enjoys watching them and roots for Big Osaka team, with Higo Ryusuke her favorite player. In Movie 16, she performed a long pass through the debris, delivering the ball to Conan for the decisive kick saving the day.<br />
<br />
=== Music ===<br />
In canon, Haibara has knowledge about classical music. In Movie 12, she played the recorder to send a message to Conan.<br />
<br />
=== Art Appreciation ===<br />
In her first appearance, she recognized that a teenager's painting was a Picasso painting, helping Conan to figure out the Detective Boys' client's older brother was kidnapped due to his ability to paint fakes of famous paintings, more importantly, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natsume_S%C5%8Dseki Natsume Sōseki] on the 1,000 yen bill's portrait.<br />
<br />
=== Acting ===<br />
In her first case, after she fired a gun, and was about to be reprimanded for it by Megure, she began her crying act. That act continued for the longest time, and the only one stuck walking her home was Conan.<br />
<br />
When they were near the Kudo and Agasa's residence, Conan asked her if she can get home by herself now, since her address is somewhere around here, but he did not recall the address, when she told him at school.<br />
<br />
When he began to walk away, she immediately stopped the crying act, and transferred into her Black Organization Role of Sherry, but probably more evil than she ever was in the organization, and all she is doing is talking.<br />
<br />
<br />
When she really introduced herself to him, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the Black Organization, even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out.<br />
<br />
She was talking and speaking like so many of her cold-blooded former co-workers, and showed no remorse at all, nor did she break character at all.<br />
<br />
When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, when she finally stopped acting.<br />
<br />
== Appellations ==<br />
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.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
<br />
{{main|Ai Haibara timeline}}<br />
<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== Countdown to Heaven (Movie: [[Countdown to Heaven|5]]) ===<br />
[[File:M5-43.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Ai, witnessing Genta's virtue]]<br />
Having greatly missed her sister Akemi, Ai secretly begins to make a call to an apartment that her sister once stayed in order to hear her voice from the tape recorder. Gin and Vodka, knowing about this habit of hers, plan to track down Agasa's phone number when she makes the call, but their plan is foiled by Conan and Agasa after being informed of this by Genta.<br />
<br />
As she begins to bond with the Detective Boys, Ai begins to realize that she herself is no longer all alone or full of sorrow, and is willing to sacrifice herself to allow them to live. She also witnesses both Genta and Mitsuhiko's bravery of not wanting to leave her behind from the time bombed tower, with the former forcefully carrying her to the escape car despite her intention to countdown the time bomb until the end, and the latter holds on to her when she is thrown off the car due to the blaze from the explosion. Ai, knowing of Ayumi's affection toward Conan, also warns him to never make Ayumi cries, else she'll never forgive him.<br />
<!--<br />
=== Sunflowers of Inferno (Movie: [[Sunflowers of Inferno|19]]) ===<br />
<br />
=== TV Special: [[The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History]] ===<br />
--><br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
<br />
==== Akemi Miyano ====<br />
Akemi is Haibara's big sister and the two were very close. The death of Akemi still affected her greatly as it was Akemi's death that prompted Haibara to escape from the organization, as no one would explain the reason behind it. Haibara eventually learned about the robbery Akemi committed before her death, but she suspected there was more to the story. To this day, she still thinks about her sister and greatly misses her<br />
<br />
In the movie Countdown to Heaven, she kept calling Akemi's number at her apartment just to hear her voice, fully aware that the Black Organization might wiretap and trace to her location. It took extreme measures from Conan to make Haibara abandon this thought.<br />
<br />
==== Atsushi Miyano ====<br />
Dr. Miyano was Haibara's father. He passed away when she was barely a year old. Her feelings toward her father is unknown, but she does show interest in seeing the house where he grew up.<br />
<br />
==== Elena Miyano ====<br />
Elena passed away when Shiho was a baby. Even though Shiho/Haibara has accepted her passing for a long time, being able to hear her voice via recorded<br />
tapes calmed Haibara down.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa/Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
[[File:Haibara Conan moment Ed60.png|thumb|left|190px|Haibara and Conan/Shinichi believe and rely on each other (Picture from [[Sissy Sky|Closing 60 Scene]]).]]<br />
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}<br />
<br />
Both are de-aged by APTX4869 and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes Haibara and [[Conan]] close confidants and more empathetic with each 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. They share an interesting relationship. They believe and rely on each other. She is keenly observant of Conan's personality, intelligence, and sense of justice.<br />
<br />
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. She often enjoys teasing Conan, which he takes in good stride. However, he is oblivious of her feelings towards him and sometimes finds it difficult to deal with her sarcasm and impudent, cold nature. Although in empathy on many matters, they don't fully trust one another with information about the Black Organization out of concern for the safety and feelings of the other. In fact, she has always known that [[Renya Karasuma]] is the Black Organization head, but she never reveals it for Conan's safety.<br />
<br />
==== Hiroshi Agasa ====<br />
[[File:772-1.png|thumb|left|190px|Haibara is typing a mail to Professor Agasa angrily for cheating his diet.]]<br />
{{main|Agasa family}}<br />
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 occasions, 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.<br />
Kogoro jokingly notes in Countdown to Heaven that she acts a lot like Agasa's wife.<br />
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><br>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. Agasa had been an acquaintance of Shiho's parents, but he hadn't imagine that she would be their daughter, before Conan revealed it.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
[[File:Ed60-3.jpg|thumb|left|190px|Haibara's first greeting with Ran. (Picture from [[Sissy_Sky|Closing 60's Scene]]).]]<br />
[[File:247-1.png|thumb|right|165px|Haibara's first meeting with Ran.(Picture from [[The_Mystery_in_the_Net|Original Scene]]).]]<br />
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<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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><br />
<br />
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>. Once when Haibara had a cold and Ran came to bring her some food, Ai pretended to be asleep and Conan said she wasn't being considerate for Ran's good actions towards her. Haibara thought to herself that Conan doesn't understand a thing, but she doesn't want him to anyway, hinting that she has actually romantic feelings towards Conan/Shinichi and is jealous due to his feelings for Ran.<br />
<br />
==== Akai Shuichi/Subaru Okiya ====<br />
[[File:685-2.png|thumb|left|190px|Haibara uncovering Subaru's scarf.]]<br />
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 his neck, probably suspecting he was using a device made by Professor Agasa. At one point, she asks him if he bugged Agasa's house because he keeps appearing at opportune moments when they're involved in a case, bringing food hastily put together as an excuse for his presence. She cited one instance in which the food was not cooked and the vegetables were raw.<br />
<br />
Currently, although Akai/Subaru knows Haibara's secret identity, Haibara doesn't know Subaru's identity, nor does she know Akai was her deceased sister's boyfriend. Both Akai/Subaru, Conan, and Agasa are keeping such information a secret from Haibara. At one point, Haibara questions if Akai is a "lolicon."<br />
<br />
==== Dai Moroboshi ====<br />
[[File:701 8.png|thumb|right|190px|Dai Moroboshi in Haibara's thought.]]<br />
Haibara knows [[Dai Moroboshi]] as her sister's boyfriend. She deduces that Dai approaches her sister just to collect information about the Black Organization. She remembered him giving her a promise to protect Akemi. But she also remembers him as 'the one, who betrayed the organization', so there is a possibility that she has heard another story of what happened. 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.<br />
<br />
==== Heiji Hattori ====<br />
Heiji is one of the few character who know Conan and Haibara's secret identity, as well as the effect of APTX 4869. In general, Heiji and Haibara rarely meet each other. His hot temperament is a trait that Haibara dislikes. However, on more than one occasion, Haibara trusts Heiji to keep the secret of the drug and to keep Conan/Shinichi safe when Conan temporarily reverts back to Shinichi.<br />
Haibara also shows a mischievous side towards Heiji. At one point when Heiji (not exactly) confessed to Kazuha, Haibara used the recorded speech as her ringtone.<br />
<br />
==== Akai Family ====<br />
In [[Volume 99#File 1049 - It's Unbelievable!|File 1049]], the flashback conversations between Vermouth and Mary confirmed that Mary and Elena are sisters. So that Akemi is blood relatives with [[Akai family]].<br />
<br />
=== Detective Boys ===<br />
[[File:Detective boys under Haibara's command.png|thumb|right|185px|Haibara is the second-command in Detective Boys.]]<br />
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 boistorous friendliness anymore and gradually warms up to them. When she was first introduced, she would often stay off to the side of whatever activity the Detective Boys were doing while later arcs, such as the Sweet and Cold Delivery Service arc, open with her playing soccer with them, and even mentally as she's about to do one of Higo's moves.<br />
<br />
==== Ayumi Yoshida ====<br />
[[File:330-1.png|thumb|left|185px|Ayumi is happy for being allowed to call Haibara by her name (Ai).]]<br />
{{Main|Ayumi Yoshida}}<br />
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>.<br />
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><br />
<br />
==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya ====<br />
[[Image:279haibaramitsuhiko.png|thumb|left|185px|Haibara listening in on Mitsuhiko's radio.]]<br />
{{main|Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}<br />
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 admires 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.<br />
<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
The boss, after Shiho's defection, wants her eliminated as a loose end at almost all costs.<br />
<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
{{main|Gin and Sherry}}<br />
[[Gin]] has an abnormal attachment for Shiho, often thinks of her being naked, and seems to enjoy hunting her down, 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><br />
<br />
==== Vodka ====<br />
Shiho and [[Vodka]] have met and are acquaintances.<ref name=CD239>Conan Drill Page 239</ref><br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[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 paralyze 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><br />
<br />
==== Rei Furuya ====<br />
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] knew Haibara's parents and sister. Rei has also met Shiho in the Mystery Train case, but not knowing that it was [[Kaitou Kid]] in disguise.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
==== Mary Sera ====<br />
As Haibara tries to wipe out the mascara in her left eye, Conan notices the similarities between her and [[Mary]], and he thinks that they might be blood related. Conan thinks that Haibara is somehow connected to the [[Akai family]].<br />
Many fans believes that Haibara's [[Elena|mother]] is the sister of Mary, as Gosho confirmed that two mothers will be revealed as sisters with Mary being one of the sister pair. This was confirmed on [[Volume_99#File_1049_-_It.27s_Unbelievable.21|chapter 1049]].<br />
<br />
== People who know Haibara's real identity ==<br />
{{main|List of characters who know Ai Haibara's identity}}<br />
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.<br />
<br />
== Gadgets ==<br />
{{main|Gadgets}}<br />
Professor Agasa has made many gadgets for Shinichi/Conan to use for investigate cases or catch criminals, and Haibara also uses some gadgets same as conan to use for self defense and help Shinichi/Conan. such as Glasses and wristwatch ([[Criminal Tracking Glasses]], [[Telescopic Lenses]], [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]], [[Wristwatch Flashlight]]) and [[Detective Boys Badge]] (use for communicating with Detective boys).<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
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 [[Wikipedia: Irene Adler|'''I'''rene Adler]], a character from the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' story "A Scandal in Bohemia", and she is inspired by her.<ref>{{cite journal|journal=Da Vinci|month=May|year=2014|publisher=Kadokawa Shoten}}</ref><ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref><br />
<br />
Her US Viz name, Anita Hailey, comes from:<br />
* Anita: Anne Katherine Green (the first American Mystery Writer)<br />
* Hailey: Hero (though Anita didn't care much for the choice)<ref>Case Closed Volume 18: File 179 - The False Girl</ref><br />
<br />
Her codename '''Sherry''' is Detective Shunsaku Kudo's (from [[wikipedia:ja:探偵物語|Tantei Monogatari (Detective Tales)]]) favorite liquor.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* 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.<br />

'''{{nihongo|Vermouth|ベルモット|Berumotto}}''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Sharon Vineyard|シャロン・ヴィンヤード|Sharon Vin'yādo}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Chris Vineyard|クリス・ヴィンヤード|Kurisu Vin'yādo}}''', is an actress and member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Vermouth's background is very mysterious because she has been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of actress Sharon Vineyard (now "deceased") and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard.<br />
<br />
As the actress Sharon Vineyard, Vermouth gained much fame on Broadway and in movies, even winning an Oscar. Even then, she was a member of the Black Organization. Twenty years ago, she murdered [[Jodie Starling]]'s [[FBI]] father who had collected information on her. Jodie Starling would eventually grow up to be an FBI agent and one of Vermouth's most bitter enemies. As Sharon, Vermouth became close friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were studying disguise under [[Toichi Kuroba]].<br />
<br />
At some point Sharon began to pretend to have a daughter named Chris, who she did not got along with after she played a rude prank. That fact might have serve as a pretext to why the two 'identities' wouldn't be seen together in public. While Sharon was still alive, Chris kept out of the public eye except for acting in movies and giving interviews. Less than one year ago, Vermouth staged Sharon Vineyard's death, which allowed Chris to come out publicly. Currently, Vermouth serves the Black Organization with the public name Chris Vineyard.<br />
<br />
Vermouth is the [[The Boss|boss]]' favorite which grants her some independence. Vermouth also has some particular connection to the boss that she does not want known by the greater organization, which [[Bourbon]] is blackmailing her with.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 898: "Scarlet Epilogue"</ref> She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like [[APTX 4869|the research]] that [[Shiho Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano|her]] [[Elena Miyano|parents]] engaged in, calling it “foolish".<ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref><br />
<br />
Vermouth entered the storyline some time after [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano/Sherry/Ai Haibara]]'s mysterious flight from the Organization. Her main objective was to track down and eliminate the 'traitor', and for that purpose she assumed the identity of doctor [[Tomoaki Araide]]. But although she managed to discover Shiho's reversion into a child, she did not succeed in killing her, as she met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was able to discover and thwart her plans. She also encountered the FBI during this process.<br />
<br />
Vermouth has great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him "[[Silver Bullet]]". Since it has been revealed that she knows about Ai and Kudo's reversion to their child forms, she seems to know the shrinking effect the drug can have, but for reasons yet unrevealed she keeps this knowledge secret from the rest of the Organization.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Although she follows orders from the boss and [[Gin]] when he is charge of missions, Vermouth often acts according to her own agenda and whims, even when it runs contrary to the [[Black Organization]]'s best interests. She is secretive and manipulative, even towards other Organization members. Vermouth is confident in her abilities, is very bold, and an expert at manipulating situations to her advantage: traits which allow her to single-handedly weave complex plots and take the upper hand even while she is being monitored by enemies. She is intelligent and insightful, correctly suspecting the allegiance of Kir, but she was successfully outwitted by [[Conan]] and forced by [[Shuichi Akai]] to retreat.<br />
[[File:Vermouth_provokes_Gin.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]<br />
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan (Cool Guy), [[Ran]] (Angel), and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and Ran (Angel) saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]]. Vermouth also appears to be an atheist at first as she claims to not believe in God nor angels until Ran unknowingly rescued her which seemed to have given her back some faith.<br />
<br />
At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. She dislikes the Miyano family's research. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (Cool Guy) (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.<br />
<br />
While she does kill people, something suggests that she is not much into killing children. When Jodie, as a child, caught Vermouth, Vermouth didn't kill her directly but instead asked her to stay in the house, which she later set on fire. It could mean that she doesn't like to kill children directly. And when she questions a young witness, [[Toji Funemoto]], about Kir's accident, she lets him live.<br />
<br />
She enjoys teasing others, seen when she disguised as a male waiter and served Gin and Vodka martinis and taunted Chianti by wishing her good luck and blowing her a kiss.<ref>[[Volume 49#File 501 - Follow the Target!|Volume 49, File 501, page 7: "Follow the Target!"]]</ref><br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
=== Disguise ===<br />
<!--{{Main|disguise}}-->[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]<br />
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Her disguising ability has been noted by Conan to be on par with the current Kaito Kid (Kaito Kuroba).<ref>[[Volume 44|Volume 44, File 457, Page 7]]</ref> Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. [[Jodie Starling]] once referred to Vermouth's disguise abilities as a frightening type of perfection.<ref>[[Episode 362]]</ref><br />
<br />
=== Reconnaissance ===<br />
Vermouth specializes in reconnaissance and infiltration, and has been shown to work very swiftly yet cautiously to rapidly acquire information. Her confidence and skill in disguise and imitation means she can execute bold plans that put her in very close contact with her targets and she can advance her plot even when they are suspicious of her. Without the aid of the other organization members, Vermouth successfully snuck into the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters]] in order to steal the records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases. She later returned them when presumably the surveillance would be even higher after the police noticed the files were missing. She then single-handedly staked out the [[FBI]] who were lured out into watching Kogoro Mouri and uncovered their numbers, addresses, and ways to contact them.<br />
<br />
=== Stamina ===<br />
Vermouth is quite strong and has developed a high pain tolerance. While she was disguised as a serial killer in New York City, Vermouth athletically vaults up from a dead hanging positioning over the railing of the stairwell to higher ground despite being shot in the side. She also shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Shuichi, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Shooting ===<br />
As Vermouth pulled away in Jodie's car with broken ribs after her flak jacket absorbed a close range shotgun blast, she managed to aim a handgun backwards with her left hand using the side mirror while driving a car she wasn't used to and shoot Araide's car's gas tank standing 100 yards away, causing it to explode. Shuichi is impressed she managed that difficult shot with her battered body. Earlier however, she failed to draw fast enough to shoot Jodie or Shuichi; in the first case, the gun was shot out of her hand, in the second, Shuichi fired first.<br />
<br />
== Non-aging ==<br />
[[File:Vermouth 20 years ago.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's appearance 20 years before the current timeline.]]<br />
For some reason, Vermouth does not appear to age. Her apparent age hasn’t changed since she murdered Jodie’s parents twenty years ago.<ref name="f433">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> [[Shuichi Akai]] proved that Vermouth was not wearing a mask when his shotgun fire grazed her face. Specifically, it hasn't been clarified if Vermouth hasn't aged over time or if she became younger all at once. It is also important to note that Vermouth's talent for disguise makes it difficult to figure out when Vermouth stopped aging or deaged.<br />

[[File:Vermouth Sharon Vineyard EP345.png|thumb|right|200px|Chris and Sharon Vineyard]]<br />
In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. The fall-out between mother and daughter probably serves as an excuse to why the two of them never are seen together. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.<br />
<br />
Little is known of Sharon Vineyard's mother and father. Sharon's parents were not actors, at least not well known ones, because Agasa called Chris Vineyard a second generation actress.<ref name="f341p8">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 8: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> According to Sharon's story, both her mother and father died in a fire on the day Sharon debuted on screen.<ref name="f351p2">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 2: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref><br />
<br />
So far, Sharon Vineyard's age has not been given and nothing is known about her personal history before she became an actress. Even her fans knew little about her private life even after she became famous.<ref name="f344p9">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 9: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Sharon said her road to stardom was very difficult and full of misfortune, prompting her to doubt the existence of God: "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 18: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Sharon became a star actress<ref name="f350p16">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 16: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> and, according to [[Shuichi Akai]], is best known for her work in the Golden Apple broadway play.<br />
[[File:Chris with veil.png|thumb|left|200px|Chris Vineyard coming out into public for the first time - at the funeral of her mother Sharon Vineyard]]<br />
At some point, she married and gave birth to her daughter Chris Vineyard. Her husband later died of an unspecified illness the day after Sharon won an Oscar. While studying for an acting role approximately 20 years ago, Sharon learned disguise techniques from [[Toichi Kuroba]] alongside the aspiring young Japanese actress [[Yukiko Kudo]].<ref name="f350p17">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 17: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref><ref>Yukiko started her career while in high-school. Yukiko is 37 currently so the time frame while Yukiko was studying as a beginning actress is approximately 20 years ago when Yukiko was 17 or 18.</ref> During their time together, Yukiko became Sharon's friend, and they have maintained contact with one another. Sharon later sent Yukiko three tickets to Golden Apple broadway production the year before she died. The cause of Sharon's death has not been revealed.<br />
<br />
Chris Vineyard meanwhile became a successful actress quickly by riding the coattails of her mother's fame.<ref name="f351p2" /> She began to make movies and give interviews to reporters only, but otherwise she never appeared publicly.<ref name="f344p9" /> The first day she came out into public was the day of her mother's funeral some time less than one year ago.<ref name="f344p9" /> A reporter who tried to question Chris asked where she went to school, whether she got along with her mother, who her father is, and if the rumored lover she has will appear at Sharon's funeral.<ref name="f344p10">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 10: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Chris answered none of these, but the types of questions which were asked demonstrate the secrecy surrounding the Vineyard family history.<br />
<br />
Sharon Vineyard and Chris apparently didn't get along; Sharon doesn't consider Chris to be her daughter.<ref name="f351p2" /> Sharon explained this by relaying a tale to Yukiko about Chris who disguised as Sharon's husband and then met with Sharon when she visited her husband's grave to lay flowers.<ref name="f351p3">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 3: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref> Sharon did teach Chris the disguise techniques she learned from Toichi after Chris begged for them.<ref name="f351p3" /> One year prior to the current timeline, Sharon says she hasn't seen Chris in ten years and that she is currently hanging out with a "bad crowd" of people.<ref name="f351p3"/><br />
<br />
=== Hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not Jodie ===<br />
[[File:Jodie mirror pictures.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images. This detail is erroneously omitted in the anime adaptation.]]<br />
There were several hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not [[Jodie Saintemillion]] who was also a candidate for being Vermouth before her true identity was revealed.<br />
* 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 to deduce Araide was Vermouth.<br />
* 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.<br />
* Araide switches from the basketball to the drama club.<ref name="f270p3">[[Volume 27#File 270 - Game Start|Volume 27, File 270, page 3: "Game Start"]]</ref><br />
* Haibara skipped school on the day of the yearly health checkups that Dr. Araide gives the elementary school students. Conan wonders if Haibara thinks there is something wrong with Araide.<ref name="f287p3">[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287, page 9: "The Unseen Horror"]]</ref><br />
* Vermouth falls out of character. One of her patients says Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger.<ref name=355p6>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 6: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> Also, "Dr. Araide" claims to have sent his grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori,<ref name=355p5>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 5: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> which is strange because it was established in the Araide family murder case<ref>[[Volume 24#File 235 - In the Darkness...|Volume 24, Files 235-236: "In the Darkness..."]]</ref> that Araide didn't trust them (especially Hikaru) to take care of themselves.<ref>[[Volume 35#File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1|Volume 35, File 355: "Mystery of the Haunted House 1"]], [[The Truth of the Haunted House|Episode 274: The Truth of the Haunted House]]</ref><br />
<br />
=== Jodie's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ===<br />
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|right|200px|Seven year old Jodie encounters Vermouth twenty years ago.]]<br />
Jodie's father in the FBI was secretly investigating Vermouth twenty years before the current storyline.<ref name="f433" /> That is too young for Chris Vineyard to be in disguise as she is only 29 currently and would be 9 at the time. After Vermouth killed Jodie's father she inadvertently handled Jodie’s father’s glasses barehanded which had fallen off of him and got her fingerprints on them. Unexpectedly, little Jodie came in and saw Vermouth holding the glasses. When Vermouth left after setting the house on fire, she didn't anticipate that Jodie left to get juice, taking her father’s glasses with her and thus preserving her fingerprint. After she discovered Jodie's corpse was not found in the house, Vermouth looked for the girl desperately in order to rectify her mistake, but Jodie had since been put into witness protection.<br />
<br />
Jodie suspected Chris Vineyard of being Vermouth when she saw her at Sharon’s funeral. She somehow determined Chris Vineyard’s prints matched those of the glasses. Chris would have been too young to commit a crime 20 years ago, so later Jodie obtained Sharon’s fingerprints and matched those as well. All three matched, proving to Jodie that the three people were one and the same.<br />
<br />
=== Conan's investigation ===<br />
==== Conan's discovery Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide ====<br />
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] suspects [[Pisco]] had help from another [[Black Organization]] member. He looks into [[Chris Vineyard]] and realizes that she is able to disguise herself and may be pretending to be someone close to him. [[Kogoro Mouri]]’s case records were stolen from the police department. Conan realizes [[Tomoaki Araide]] is Vermouth because Vermouth needed the files to testify at the trial properly while in disguise.<br />
[[File:Vermouth as Araide.png|left|thumb|200px|Vermouth as Dr. Araide]]<br />
Conan first suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the mourning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. Conan didn't realize that this Black Organization member might be after him or Haibara until after the bus jack case when 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="f291p11">[[Volume 29#File 291 - A Tiny Trace|Volume 29, File 291, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"]]</ref> After he recognizes Shuichi in the P &amp; A case<ref name="f326">[[Volume 32#File 326 - P & A|Volume 32, File 326-328: "P & A"]]</ref>, Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of someone investigating them.<ref name="f332">[[Volume 33#File 332 - Bloody Valentine 2|Volume 33, File 332: "Bloody Valentine 2"]]</ref> Conan doesn't seem to suspect the person Vermouth has replaced, [[Tomoaki Araide|Dr. Araide]], yet because he was willing to use his voice changer in front of him.<ref name="f330">[[Volume 33#File 330 - Sato's Feelings|Volume 33, File 2: "Sato's feelings"]]</ref><br />
<br />
Conan gets his first tangible proof someone is investigating around him when [[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="f336p9">[[Volume 33#File 336 - Clean Scent|Volume 33, File 336, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"]]</ref> He begins to wonder who the target is and suspects Shuichi may be behind the incident because of the timing. Conan also begins to suspect the English teacher [[Jodie Starling|Jodie Saintemillion]] and Dr. Araide as well because they were also on the bus.<ref name="f343p17">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 17: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> He isn't sure of the motive for taking the records although Conan wonders if someone is trying to lure him out or if the person returned the files because they already knew what Conan would do.<ref name="f341">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref><br />
<br />
Conan's idea that Pisco had an accomplice among the other suspects has fully solidified. He has noticed one of the suspects who had a purple handkerchief, [[Chris Vineyard]], hasn't appeared in public since that case, thus Conan believes Chris is the Black Organization accomplice. He asks [[Agasa]] to go onto Chris's fansite and gather information on her past, interests, and habits<ref name="f341p3">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 3: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> and Agasa's investigation corroborates with Conan's deduction.<ref name="f344p9" /> Conan is already aware that Chris Vineyard has disguise abilities and may be in disguise as someone around him.<ref name="f343p17" /><br />
<br />
At this point, Conan is still uncertain of Araide, Jodie, and Shuichi's allegiances. He learns from [[Ran Mouri|Ran Mouri]] that Shuichi Akai was seen with a man in an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] jacket during the New York case, causing Conan to wonder if the FBI is in Japan for some reason or the Black Organization infiltrated the American law enforcement.<ref name="f380p5">[[Volume 37#File 380 - White Snow... Black Shadow...|Volume 37, File 380, pages 5-6: "White Snow... Black Shadow..."]]</ref> Conan begins to take precautions around Dr. Araide and Jodie by lying to them in order to minimize contact and information they have about Haibara.<ref name="f420">[[Volume 41#File 420 - The Enclosing Surrounding Net|Volume 41, File 420: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net"]]</ref><ref name="f422">[[Volume 41#File 422 - Inescapable Target|Volume 41, File 422: "Inescapable Target"]]</ref> However, Jodie and Dr. Araide both go over to Agasa's house and plant listening devices because Conan failed to communicate his suspicion and plans to Agasa.<ref name="f422" /><br />
<br />
By the time Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he has realized that Vermouth is most likely Dr. Araide because Jodie wasn't in Mouri's case files when they were stolen, while Araide was. Vermouth needed the files to give proper testimony at the trial and to act correctly as Araide. Vermouth puts her plan to capture Haibara into action by calling Agasa's house as Dr. Araide saying he wants to take Haibara to a hospital because her cough hasn't gotten better.<ref name="f430p9">[[Volume 42#File 430 - The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood|Volume 42, File 430, page 9: "The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood"]]</ref> Conan is still unsure of Jodie's allegiance until she answers the door before Dr. Araide arrives. Jodie lies to "Haibara" (who is really Conan in disguise) saying that Dr. Araide's car has broken down and she has come in his place.<ref name="f431p3">[[Volume 42#File 431 - The Invisible Man Enters!|Volume 42, File 431, page 3: "The Invisible Man Enters!"]]</ref> Conan catches the lie and realizes that Jodie has been listening to the bugs as well and is acting to protect Haibara, meaning she is against Vermouth. Armed with this info, he asks Jodie to force the truth from Vermouth, and in return he will trust her.<ref name="f432p4">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 4: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref><br />
<br />
Conan tells Jodie the true scenario of Dr. Araide's family murder case.<ref name="f433p11">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433, page 11: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> Tomoaki Araide’s father, Yoshiteru Araide, was killed in his bathtub via electrocution. The murder was masterminded by Yoshiteru Araide's second wife, Yoko Araide. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathroom and put an electric shaver in the bathtub. She then crept back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted. "Sleeping Kogoro", the police, and the criminal decided to create a false investigation record to protect the conscience of the maid Hikaru. Jodie used this to her advantage and forced Vermouth to reveal that she didn't know the true sequence of events.<ref name="f432p11">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 11: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref><br />
<br />
==== Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ====<br />
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]<br />
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide.<ref name=354p3>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (354), pg 3: "Golden Apple 5". Note that Conan had not figured out everything completely at this point.</ref><ref>Manga [[Volume 37]], File 8 (380), pg 6: "White Snow... Black Shadow...". Conan is now convinced that the serial killer was killed. He had begun suspecting Shuichi Akai previously, and he still does at this point after Ran informs him Shuichi is an FBI agent, because Shuichi could be a spy in the FBI from the Black Organization.</ref> Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.<br />
<br />
After Vermouth disguised as Araide, Conan deduced from the way Vermouth was behaving that she was trying to avoid involving Conan in her plan and was only targeting Haibara. Vermouth as Dr. Araide risked her life to protect Conan in the bus jack case and helped him out in Sato's matchup case. When Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he realizes that Vermouth's intentions are to only trap Haibara and that Vermouth is trying to lure Conan to the party to avoid catching him up in her plan.<br />
<br />
Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.<ref>Manga [[Volume 42]], File 10, pg 5</ref><br />
<br />
All these clues come together when Conan makes the assumption that Sharon Vineyard is Chris Vineyard who disguised as the silver haired serial killer in New York and that she is grateful for being rescued by [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and [[Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="f429p9">[[Volume 42#File 429 - The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet|Volume 42, File 429, page 9: "The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet"]]. After Conan tells Agasa that Vermouth probably knows who they are, Agasa asks "If they know that much, why haven't they come here to kill you?". Conan's response is, "I don't know the reason, but... but I think I at least know one of the causes."</ref><br />

<br />
== Speculation ==<br />
=== Vermouth's true age ===<br />
Vermouth's age is unknown because her history is largely unclear. We know she has lived as Chris who is 29, and as Sharon whose age is unknown. Her face when she killed Jodie's father 20 years ago was youthful, suggesting she is currently at least 40 years old as long as no deaging has occurred...<br />
<br />
On the train, when she was talking to Yukiko, Yukiko brought up whatever is used to keep your youthful appearance. She mentiioned about painful that it did not effect the rest of her body, however she sure does not move around like a person in their 40s, and let alone older.<br />
<br />
=== Vermouth did not use APTX 4869 ===<br />
A popular theory on Vermouth's non-aging is that she used [[APTX 4869]] to achieve her youthfulness since this is the only known substance capable of producing such an effect ([[Silver Bullet]]'s effects are unknown at this point). However, at present there are things that contradict such a notion. Vermouth would have faced near certain death if she had used APTX 4869.<ref name=V2/> Before Vermouth discovered Haibara and Conan, the known members of the Black Organization (besides Sherry) only knew about APTX 4869's lethal effects,<ref>Sherry did not report the results that several of her mice shrank to the greater organization because they have not been able to figure out how Shiho managed to escape the locked room. If Shiho had reported her data, the Organization would have known that shrinking was a possible side effect of APTX 4869 and would have figured out how she escaped and begun looking for a child. Furthermore, if Shiho had reported to the Organization that APTX 4869 had the possibility of leaving the victim alive, the boss and/or Shiho's superiors would not have permitted the drug in situations where the victim, if surviving, could escape as in Shinichi's case.</ref> and it was considered deadly enough that Sherry's superiors employed it as an untraceable murder weapon.<ref name=V2>Gin described APTX 4869 as a poison before using it on Shinichi, "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff..." (V1-1 pg 37) Haibara also mentions that it was used on a number of other people, "Of all the people who took the drug, only your death hadn't been confirmed yet." (V18-9 pg 6 The Org took great pains to ensure the people APTX4869 was used on were dead, evidenced when they sent Shiho out to investigate Shinichi's case twice to confirm his death. (V18-9 pg 6) Additionally, Gin gave the OK for it to be employed in a time sensitive assassination where failure would be unacceptable: "Anyway, our superior has ordered us to kill him before he rats us out. Don't screw up, Pisco! If there is any complication, you can use the 'experimental drug' [APTX 4869]" (V24-7 pg 17) If the boss, who has been stated to be cautious to a fault, knew about the risk that someone might survive APTX 4869, he would not let his subordinates use the drug without letting them know there was a chance it would leave people alive because, if someone escaped, they could talk to the police or someone else and leak the secret of the Black Organization's existence. If Gin knew it failed to work some of the time, he would have never left Shinichi alone while it acted, and would have also gone looking for him after his body disappeared if that was the case. Even Shiho Miyano who was aware APTX 4869 could rarely cause de-aging expected it to kill her. "I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8) Finally, Shiho makes it clear the Organization is not simply trying APTX 4869 out on victims, they are actively using it to kill. "If I reported your condition to the Organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." (V18-9 pg 7) Even though Shinichi was an "interesting specimen" (V18-9 pg 7), if the Org was field testing, they would try to capture Shinichi alive for study. Shiho was still project manager when use on humans began and when Shinichi was poisoned, so she would know the Organization's protocol should someone fail to die.</ref> However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series,<ref>"No angel has smiled upon me", "My life represents a series of misfortunes" (V35-1 pg 2)</ref> it is possible Vermouth took APTX 4869 hoping to commit suicide, but she de-aged instead, similar to Haibara's situation<ref>"I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8)</ref>. Vermouth could have also gambled on taking APTX 4869 after she recognized the deaged Shiho and Shinichi and then discovered that APTX 4869 was the common connection between them and likely cause of their conditions. However, both the suicide scenario (if it occurred while Shiho was working on the drug) and the gambling scenario fail to explain why no one in the Black Organization has questioned why Vermouth has become younger, especially after Gin saw her true face following the Haunted Ship case<ref>Shuichi's shotgun fire struck Vermouth's face and wounded it which made it apparent she wasn't wearing a mask and thus that was her true face. Vermouth was picked up by Gin in a telephone booth and he would have noticed her facial injury as well.</ref>, and then connected that with APTX 4869 use and Sherry's mysterious escape from the handcuffs and locked room. <br /> <br />
It is possible that Atsushi and Elena Miyano had something to do with Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging (e.g. Vermouth was their guinea pig). This might explain the personal animosity Vermouth feels towards the Miyanos and why she calls their APTX experiment foolish.<br />
<br />
Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging may be a result of a project older than Shiho's APTX 4869, like her parents' [[Silver Bullet]], or something else even older than that. This would explain why none of the other members of the Black Organization suspect that APTX 4869 can also cause this effect and thus are unaware of the possibility Shiho de-aged to escape.<br />
<br />
Another possibility, could be if she ever administered the APTX 4869 orally, as in she hides it in her mouth, and transfers it to her intended target, as in Mary Sera's case, the de-aging effect may had kept her young, while it may kill or make young the target.<br />
<br />
After all, she did state her skin care regiment for retaining her youthful glow to Yukiko in [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] painfully does not affect the entire body, which hints that it mostly affects the face, and other external appearances.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
==== Yukiko Kudo ====<br />
[[File:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth with Yukiko approximately 20 years ago.]]<br />
Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />
<br />
====Toichi Kuroba====<br />
Sharon, along with the aspiring actress Yukiko Kudo, studied the finer arts of disguise under Toichi Kuroba. Sharon seems to be unaware of Toichi's alter ego as Kaitou Kid, and that his son, Kaito Kuroba, once interfered with her and Bourbon's plan of capturing Sherry.<ref>Bell Tree Express Train Case</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Gin ====<br />
{{Main|Gin and Vermouth}}<br />
[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth teases Gin with a disguise.]]<br />
Vermouth and [[Gin]] are both executive members. They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Vermouth and Gin trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her intentions.<ref name="CD239b">Conan Drill page 239, "同僚・信頼" (Colleagues Trusted)</ref> Gin doesn't mind threatening her with bodily harm, he nearly stabbed her through the head with an icepick on one occasion when she teased him disguised as a waiter, and he later pointed his gun at her when asking how she was connected with Kogoro. She doesn't seem especially bothered by any of these threats however. Because Vermouth is a high ranking member and the boss's favorite, she isn't scared of provoking the other agents, not even Gin who is extremely dangerous and sensitive. She smiled after moving her head to avoid Gin's deadly sweep with an icepick telling him that "She was just joking" which shows that she enjoys teasing him.<br />
<br />
==== Sherry ====<br />
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth terrifies Haibara.]]<br />
Vermouth and [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Shiho fears Vermouth more than most other members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. During the '[[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Bell Tree Express arc]]', Vermouth tries to use C4 explosives to kill Sherry without telling anyone about the plan, while Bourbon wanted to take her back alive hinting at an abnormal hatred towards her. Additionally if Shiho was in a relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a romantic relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref><br />
<br />
==== The Boss ====<br />
In file 898, Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the [[The Boss|boss]], implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship. Within the syndicate, Vermouth is also known as the Boss' Favorite.<br />
As the Boss' Favorite, Vermouth is granted some privileges such as limited independence and protection from other Black Organization Members.<br />
<br />
==== Calvados (deceased) ====<br />
[[Calvados]] was in love with Vermouth, and Vermouth took advantage of his feelings and used him. Vermouth called on Calvados to aid her in disposing with Jodie and capturing Haibara at the shipping yards. After Shuichi got the best of Calvados and Vermouth, she chose to run away, leaving him at the mercy of the FBI. Calvados chose to commit suicide rather than be caught.<br />
<br />
==== Chianti and Korn ====<br />
[[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] both hate Vermouth because they believe that Vermouth took advantage of Calvados' feelings for her and used him, leading him to his death. Chianti has been more vocal with her hatred than Korn.<br />
<br />
==== Pisco (deceased) ====<br />
Although Vermouth and [[Pisco]] are executive members, Vermouth dislikes and looks down on Pisco despite cooperating with him.<ref name="CD239d">Conan Drill page 239, {{Lang|ja|見下す}} (despise look down on}</ref><br />
<br />
==== Rei Furuya/Bourbon ====<br />
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]]/ Bourbon worked with Vermouth on a plan to determine if [[Shuichi Akai]] was really dead. She made [[Scar Akai|masks that looked like Shuichi's face with a scar]] for him so he could approach Shuichi's friends and colleagues to see their reactions to him. She also interfered with his plans to capture Sherry alive by rigging the location Rei intended to trap Sherry in with explosives to kill her,and it probably had nothing to do with her being aware that Gin and Vodka probably placed a ton of explosives at the destination platform, which would have caused the entire train, and everyone on it, including her and Boubon, to blow up as well.<br />
<br />
==== Rum ====<br />
The relationship between the Boss' Favorite and the Boss' Close Aide is somewhat unknown, although Vermouth was once seen taking orders from syndicate's Second-In-Command. Vermouth was tasked to investigate Yusaku Kudo, an individual whom Rum considers a threat to the Black Organization in Yusaku Kudo's TV Show Case.<br />
<br />
==== Tequila (deceased) ====<br />
Suguru Itakura suspected that Vermouth and [[Tequila]] were in cahoots when both individuals demanded him to finish a particular program that the Black Organization was interested in. Though Vermouth and Tequila are never shown interacting on screen or in the manga, it can be assumed they did speak at some point in a coordinated effort to intimidate Itakura to finish the computer program the Organization wanted.<br />
<br />
==== Vodka====<br />
Throughout the series, Vermouth has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vodka]], unlike other members of the Organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.<br />
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.<br />
<br />
=== Law enforcement ===<br />
==== Jodie Starling ====<br />
[[Jodie Starling]] has a bitter hatred for Vermouth because Vermouth murdered her father, but Vermouth doesn't have any particular animosity for Jodie beyond her being a skilled FBI adversary whom she would like to kill. Jodie thinks Vermouth is an entirely evil person. Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to students and patients while disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], so when the real Araide wonders if Vermouth is really a bad person, Jodie takes offense and angrily yells at him, "How can someone be a good person if she kills people with a smile!?"<ref>Manga Volume 45, File 2, pg 18: "The truth behind the remaining desk"</ref><br />
<br />
Twenty years before the current timeline, Vermouth goes to the house of Jodie's father, an FBI agent, and kills him. An eight to nine year old [[Jodie Starling]] walks in while Vermouth was trying to put his glasses back on his body and thinks her father is asleep. Vermouth tells her that she should wait for her father to wake up. When the girl asks her who is she, Vermouth replies "A secret makes a woman, woman". Vermouth burns the house down, thinking Jodie stayed behind and was killed as well. However, the girl goes out of the house to buy orange juice for her father, narrowly escaping death. She also takes her father's glasses with her, preserving the fingerprints Vermouth left on them. When Vermouth finds out Jodie's body was not in the house, she looks for her to kill her, but the FBI enrolled her in witness protection. Jodie later becomes an FBI agent in order to find her father's killer.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Vermouth and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] don't have much personal animosity for each other in particular despite the fact that they have been hunting one another for some time. Vermouth regards Shuichi as a "silver bullet": someone with the potential to destroy the Black Organization. In accordance with this assessment, she attacks him immediately and preferentially in the confrontation with her at the docks. Shuichi seems to hit a nerve when he called her a rotten apple, wilted on the inside.<br />
<br />
==== Kir ====<br />
Kir and her have a respectable relationship in the Black Organization. After Kir says a phrase that the CIA uses, she suspects that [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] is a member of the CIA though she hasn't told anyone about it.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
[[File:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's dartboard. Conan's picture has "Cool guy" written on it while Ran's says "Angel."]]<br />
==== Shinichi Kudo/ Edogawa Conan ====<br />
After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] helped Ran save Vermouth's life in New York while she was disguised as a serial killer, she nicknames him "Cool guy".<br />
<br />
Later in the series, after [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] successfully interfered with Vermouth's plan of killing [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], then almost forced her to surrender and take him to find the boss, she gives him another nickname - "Silver bullet" - as she believes that he has the potential to destroy the Black Organization, because he could touch her heart.<br />
<br />
Generally, Vermouth tries to protect Shinichi when she is able to, even if it means risking her own life. Although Shinichi found out later that he unknowingly rescued Vermouth in New York City and that Vermouth was a friend of [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]], Shinichi doesn't understand why Vermouth would make the promise to give up on hunting Sherry and not inform the [[Black Organization]] about Haibara and himself.<br />
<br />
Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned, as opposed to [[Haibara]]. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he is able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.<br />
<br />
In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to Head]], After Conan removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wrist watch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.<br />
<br />
She also destroyed the box that he was connected to by many wires, so as not to possibly accidentally kill or hurt him, which pulling out the wires would have, according to Conan.<br />
<br />
After she used sleeping gas, in order to knock him back out, so that she can escape, and not lead the Black Organization members to him.<br />
<br />
She even covered the sleeping boy up with her coat, so that he would not get sick, since she had literally cut his shirt wide open, in order to see the wires and connected box, which may have made him sick, if he is not found right away, since it is pretty cold, and colds are spreading at this time.<br />
<br />
She shot herself in the leg, and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and no where around her, when Gin came to pick her up.<br />
<br />
In [[the Raven Chaser]], she even provided Conan with the name of [[Irish]], and gave him a little bit of information of why the Organization is interested in this serial murder case.<br />
<br />
In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to [[Gin]], she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," in order to protect Conan. Also, when the Gin ordered [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to kill [[Kogoro Mori]] together with Conan, Vermouth was against it. <br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
After Ran saved Vermouth's life in New York City, Vermouth nicknames [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] "Angel". Earlier, Vermouth, as her Sharon Vineyard role, complained that her life was a series of misfortunes and, "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18" /> Even though Vermouth in disguise prepared to kill Ran later, Ran stopped Vermouth from taking a fatal fall. Vermouth was touched by this act of kindness. Much later in the story when Ran shielded Haibara from gunfire with her body, Vermouth refused to shoot Ran or allow her to be shot, instead firing around her in an attempt to frighten Ran into releasing Haibara. Although Ran does not know who Vermouth really is, she values the handkerchief that Sharon Vineyard gave her back in New York. She also describes her as "one of only two treasures in her life" (the other being Shinichi Kudo) when Ran asked her if she was or wasn't Azusa Enomoto.<br />
<br />
====Tomoaki Araide====<br />
Vermouth originally intended to kill Araide and take his place to approach Conan and Haibara more closely. Anticipating this development, the FBI faked his death and Vermouth took his place as expected, giving the FBI an opportunity to investigate Vermouth in close proximity.<br />
While disguised as Tomoaki Araide, Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to the students and patients. This fact made the real Araide wonder if Vermouth is really a bad person<ref> Teitan High School's Ghost Story</ref>.<br />
<br />
====Suguru Itakura====<br />
Vermouth's Target. Sharon and Itakura worked before in movies containing visual effects and the two were known for their constant quarelling. Although Itakura seems to be unaware of Sharon's persona as Vermouth, he follows her orders anyway and partially completed the program that the Black Organization was interested in.<br />
<br />
====Yusaku Kudo====<br />
Sharon and Yusaku were probably acquainted through Yukiko Kudo, a friend of Sharon's and Yusaku's wife. Vermouth once investigated him after being tasked by Rum to monitor the individual, considering him a threat to the Black Organization. However, Yusaku saw through the syndicate's ploy and tricked Vermouth into thinking that they are just staying for vacation.<br />
Since Yusaku is Shinichi's Father, it is unclear if Vermouth really meant to kill him when she stated on planning to eliminate the "person of interest" when necessary.<br />
<br />
====Kogoro Mouri====<br />
Vermouth once stole Kogoro's files from the police to successfully testify as Tomoaki Araide in court and later returned them in one piece.<br />
Since Kogoro is Ran's Father, Vermouth tried to protect him from being killed by Gin after he was suspected on planting a bug on Kir's shoe, implying her consideration for Ran's feelings and welfare.<br />
<br />
====Mary Sera====<br />
Vermouth once disguised as Tsutomu Akai in an attempt to lure out Mary Sera on Vauxhall Bridge in London.<ref>File 1048</ref> She intended to take her place and infiltrate the Secret Intelligence Service. However, as complications went underway, Vermouth forcibly ingested APTX 4869 into Mary's mouth, shrinking her to her childhood state.<ref>File 1049</ref><br />

==== Situation ====<br />
Conan, Ran, and Sonoko are visiting a sick friend in the hospital. There they meet Eisuke who tells them he is searching for his long lost sister who looks identical to [[Rena Mizunashi]]. Eisuke explains that his sister intended to become a nurse so he is searching the local hospitals for her. Conan, however, suspects Eisuke knows Rena has been hospitalized due to her accident. Eisuke then explains that his sister always saved his life at hospitals. Before he lost contact with her, she had donated blood to him, after he had been in an accident in Osaka. Then he further says that he wants to find her and thank her. Conan decides to consider that Eisuke might be telling the truth, that he is looking for his sister. The three decide to visit Kōshi Anno, a big fan of Rena, to confirm whether Rena is actually Eisuke's sister. Unable to contact Kōshi, they visit his mother and learn Kōshi recently called asking for money in order to pay off a rival company in a business meeting later that day.<br />

<spoiler>Listening to her story, Conan reveals the inconsistencies with Kōshi's story and reveals that a man is impersonating Kōshi in order to scam Kōshi's mother for money. As evidence, Conan explains that the fraud claimed to have canceled his planned vacation due to a cold but had business plans on the same day as his vacation; a person who had to suddenly cancel his vacation due to an illness would not have business plans on the same day. The fraud is later arrested outside of Kōshi's apartment. Later that day, Kōshi returns home and is confronted by Conan who asks him whether Eisuke's picture of his sister is actually Rena.<br />

==== Situation ====<br />
===== Blood Relative (Manga: 586-590, Anime: 492) =====<br />
Koshi confirms that the picture is indeed Rena and shows them a news recording depicting Rena with the same hairstyle as Eisuke's sister's in the photograph. In the video, they learn that Rena's blood type is AB. Eisuke denies that Rena is his sister since his sister's blood was once used for his blood transfusion; Eisuke has blood type O, meaning he can only receive Type O blood. Conan suspects there is a hidden component to Eisuke's story and believes Eisuke is searching for Rena with an ulterior motive. Conan calls Jodie to warn her about Eisuke and learns that Rena's blood type indeed is AB. But Agasa brings out a point that since Eisuke was a child when he got the blood transfusion, he might have misunderstood the situation. Conan agrees that he has to have it confirmed that Eisuke's sister really did donated blood and also what Eisuke's blood type is, before he can do anything. The next day, Eisuke invites Ran and Sonoko to accompany him to the mansion he used to live in to collect his mother's belongings which were recently found. Kogoro, coincidentally, was also hired to investigate a murder at the mansion that occurred a year ago. Once there, Eisuke finds his birth certificate, confirming that he has blood type O. Meanwhile, Kogoro is with the owner of the mansion, Kakuzo Okudaira, discussing the murder of his son, Tango Okudaira. Kakuzo tells Kogoro he suspects the murderer is one of three people in the mansion.<br />

When Conan and Kogoro arrived seconds later, Kakuzo Okudaira was found dead, still swinging. The fragments of Kakuzo's treasured vase were found below the body along with many books, one of which was stained in an unusual pattern with blood.

At the estimated time of death everyone was inside watching a film. Three days later, the left hand glove of the deceased butler was found in Kakuzo Okudaira's room which he interpreted as a threat.<br />

===== Exclamation (Manga: 587-590, Anime: 493) =====<br />
Kakuzo shows Kogoro a photograph of Tango's body in a pool and points to a white glove Tango is wearing. He reveals that the glove was the same glove their previous butler wore before a car accident killed him, and that Tango's murder occurred on the anniversary of the butler's death. Kakuzo tells Kogoro that, three days after Tango's death, he received a white glove and now presumes the murderer plans to kill him next. After the discussion, Kogoro and Conan investigate the house searching for clues. When a blackout occurs and the sound of a vase is heard from Kakuzo's room, they arrive to find him hanged. Conan investigates and realizes three suspicious points: glue was used to keep the knot of the rope together, the broken vase with sweat near the top, and a book titled "Killer of Hades" (in kanji) with blood on it. The police declare that if the book is a dying message, the murderer must be one of the three suspects.<br />

Conan's investigation leads him to realize how Kakuzo and Tango's murder was accomplished.<br />

She then set up the scene by placing Kakuzō on top of a trolley and placing a glued noose around his neck. After setting up a line of books leading from the door to the trolley Kikuyo placed a vase in Kakuzō's hand, warning him that if the vase dropped and broke, it would cause people to investigate the noise. When that happened, they would open the door to Kakuzō's room and subsequently move the line of books which would cause the trolley to roll out from beneath him and result in his death. Conan explains that Tango was murdered in a similar fashion: he was tied up and thrown in a pool and was forced to stand on the tip of his toes to breathe. Eventually Tango's fatigue caused him to drown. By delaying the time of death in both cases, Kikuyo was able to establish an alibi. As for the dying message, Conan reveals that blood covered the kanji for the English word "Hades" which means "Meido" in Japanese and is a reference to the English word maid. As evidence, Conan tells the police Kikuyo should have a handkerchief with coffee stains tainted with sleeping pills. Kikuyo confesses to the murder revealing that Tango, with the help of his father, murdered her husband, the previous butler, after he insisted Tango should have constituted himself for an accident he unintentionally caused.</spoiler><br />

==== Situation ====<br />
===== Coma (Manga: 595-598, Anime: 495) =====<br />
Kogoro shuts up crows, because they're perching on the third-floor railing again, while he watched Yoko Okino's TV program who sings like a bird. Conan learns from Ran that she had been unable to contact Eisuke since the winter break. She tells him Eisuke last told her that he had found someone from his father's company at [[Haido Central Hospital]], the same hospital in which Rena is currently hospitalized. Conan contacts Jodie Starling to inform her Eisuke may be searching for Rena and learns from her that Eisuke's father, Ethan Hondou, was a spy for the CIA who were investigating the Black Organization. She reveals that Rena and the Black Organization murdered him four years ago. So it seems unlikely that Rena should be Eisuke's sister, because that would mean that she killed her own father. Haibara suspects that Rena impersonated Hondou's daughter to spy on the C.I.A.s investigation of the organization, but was uncovered. Conan phones Ran asking her how Eisuke recognized the colleague. She replies that Eisuke recognized the person through the phones keypad tone which played the song "[[Nanatsu no Ko]]", the phone number of the Black Organization's leader. Conan realizes that a Black Organization member is in Haido Central Hospital. Fearing that the criminal syndicate may be close to finding Rena, Conan and the FBI investigate the hospital. After asking a nurse about a suspicious person, the FBI narrows the suspects list to hospitalized patients between December 18 and December 21 and begin their search for the Black Organization member.<br />

The nurse tells Conan that she just remembered Eisuke had surgery for leukemia when he was young, raising the possibility Rena may in fact be his sister. Meanwhile, the FBI manages to narrow the list of suspects down to three patients: An old man with a broken leg, a man with a neck sprain, and a man with dorsalgia.

<spoiler>In his meeting with the man with dorsalgia, Conan proved the man was not faking his symptom as he had difficulty bending down to pick up an object and was frantically fighting against a sneeze to prevent sending a shock wave to his back. The other two patients are revealed to be faking their symptoms. Conan reveals that he noticed the old man had a scar and swelling near his heart suggesting he has an artificial pacemaker. Since the pacemaker's function would be interrupted by cell phone waves, it rules the old man out leaving '''Rikumichi Kusuda''', the man faking the neck sprain, as their culprit. The old man's motive for pretending that he hasn't healed yet might be to get a insurance bonus</spoiler><br />

Kusuda kills himself with his own gun before being caught. While the FBI attempt to figure out how to keep the Black Organization away from Rena, Akai decides they must keep the hospital employees uninvolved and that he shall think of plan to ambush them. Later that night, Eisuke sneaks into Rena's room and attempts to question her about his sister. Frustrated with her comatose state, he attempts to stab her with scissors but she grabs his hand and stops him.<br />

Elsewhere, the Black Organization cause food poisoning throughout restaurants in the city, release poisonous gas (virus infection) in public areas (train station), and start a fire in a local theatre. These incidents cause a large amount of people needing medical attention to flow into the hospital. While Conan and Akai attempt to deduce the Black Organization plans, they notice a ticking sound from Jame's flower pot and realize there is a bomb in it. Agent Andre Camel and Jodie are given the task to detonate the bomb in an isolated location. After doing so, Akai notices there is a rush of deliveries to patients and realize they also contain explosives sent by the Black Organization.<br />
<br />
===== Disguise (Manga: 600-604, Anime: 499) =====<br />
Rena appears on television while the FBI agents are gathering the small explosives which causes them to gather to Rena's room to investigate. They realize it was part of the Black Organization's plan as the explosives the agents were collecting contained transmitters; Gin, who watches the transmitters gather in a single location, tells his colleagues of Rena's location in the hospital. The FBI initiate their plan to transport Rena to another location. Camel is given the task of transporting Rena while the other FBI agents become decoys in the other two vans. Jodie suspects Camel is part of the organization and attempts to pursue Camel to give her the task of driving the van with Rena. Camel incapacitates her and hides her body. The three vans drive off with Chianti, Korn, and Vodka stalking them. Using thermal vision devices, they are able to see through the vans and upload the images to Gin who attempts to deduce which truck contains Rena. Vermouth follows Akai who is secretly tailing the second van, causing them to believe the truck Korn is stalking contains Rena. However, Gin stops them and reveals that Rena is in the van Camel is driving, the one being stalked by Vodka.<br />

Akai reveals to the FBI he purposely let the Black Organization capture Rena again so they may use her to gain information from the inside. He then explains the conversation he and Conan had with Rena the night before. After Eisuke is stopped by Rena, Conan, who was hiding behind the curtains, reveals that Rena is indeed Eisuke's sister -- Hidemi Hondou. He explains that due to Eisuke's leukemia and radiation treatment, they transferred Hidemi's bone marrow to Eisuke, essentially changing his blood type to AB. Conan reveals that he knows Hidemi is part of the CIA and was given the task of investigating the Black Organization from the inside. She reveals that on the day she and her father were supposed to reveal the Black Organization's identity to the public, she had a transmitter planted on her which resulted in them being caught. To protect his daughter, Ethan created a scenario in which Hidemi killed him after realizing his identity as a CIA agent. After having Hidemi shoot him, the Black Organization was fooled and Hidemi continued her duty to spy on the Organization. After the conversation, Akai tells Hidemi he plans to return her to the Black Organization.</spoiler><br />

===== Suspicion (Manga: 605-608, Anime: 501) =====<br />
Back in the present time, Rena asks Gin to spare the hospital and its employees, causing Gin to suspect her of being disloyal to the organization. Elsewhere, Professor Agasa takes the Detective Boys to a hotel restaurant. They run into Detective Takagi who tells them the president of a foreign talent agency was murdered only a few minutes ago.<br />

Only one elevator was working, so the police who had arrived quickly were able to round up potential foreign suspects on the stairs or the roof. It was later discovered the dead man wrote a note saying "bring my tux" on a pad of paper which was though to have been taken by the murderer.<br />
}}<br />
<br />
Takagi tells them that the suspect is an unknown foreigner who had an appointment with the president. Conan tells him that the suspect must be in the hotel still since the president's office is on the top floor and—with so little time—the suspect would not have had enough time to rid himself of the smell of gunpowder and escape the building. The police gather up three foreign suspects, one of which includes FBI Agent Camel. Camel is the prime suspect because of his physical features and refusal to answer the questions relating to his profession since the FBI's investigation in Japan must remain a secret. Conan calls Jodie to come and help prove Camel's innocence.<br />
<br />
===== Innocence (Manga: 605-608, Anime: 502) =====<br />
Jodie arrives and tells the police that Camel is an FBI agent and that they are a couple vacationing in Japan. The police continue the investigation and notice that a memo with the words "Bring my Tux" was ripped out by an unknown culprit. Jodie asks Camel why he was in Japan two years ago. He replies that he was on a mission with Akai to investigate the Black Organization. He tells her that in the past, he made a mistake and exposed Akai's identity as an FBI agent to the syndicate and impeded Akai's mission as a spy. This indirectly resulted in the Organization murdering Akai's love, Akemi Miyano. Elsewhere, Gin orders Rena to set up a meeting with Akai or be branded as a traitor and subsequently killed. He tells her that he will plant a bug on her during the meeting and that it is her duty to kill Akai. Akai receives a call from Rena and agrees to meet with her, knowing that it is an ambush set up to take his life.<br />
<br />
===== Ready to Die (Manga: 605-608, Anime: 503) =====<br />

<spoiler>Inspector Megure gathers the four suspects and places chairs behind the each of them. He then tells them to "Shiran Puri" (知らん振り?, lit. Feign Ignorance) and all but '''Toby Keynes''' sit down in their chairs. Jodie reveals that foreigners would recognize "Shiran Puri" as "Sit Down Please" and since Keynes did not sit down, reveals he is actually Japanese. Jodie then explains that after Keynes murdered the president, he noticed the memo and took it believing it was the president's dying message indicating Keynes to be the murderer. As evidence, they find the missing memo inside Keynes' pocket. He kept it on his person because, it was natural that he would have wanted to know what the message meant. Keynes confesses to the murder and explains that his American girlfriend was tricked into signing a contract by the president. His girlfriend did not understand the contract since she was not fluent in Japanese; the contract forced his girlfriend to work long hours which in the end resulted in her death. As part of the contract, his girlfriend's younger brother would be held responsible if she is unable to continue working. Keynes wanted to save his girlfriend's brother and thus murdered the president of the company. He is impressed that he was exposed by the 'Shiran Puri' and learns that Conan had figured it out, when Toby misunderstood the 'reception' the secretary was talking about for a party. 'Reception' is for foreigners what is known in Japanese as Front Desk (フロント, Furonto). Then, Keynes says that if he had known that his lack of English would become his undoing, he would have learned it from his American father, who had taught him to fire a gun, but not what it feels to kill someone.</spoiler><br />

The FBI realize that the unidentified body belongs to Akai. Jodie heads to the police station to confirm Akai's death. She gives them Conan's cellphone which contains Akai's fingerprint so they could compare it to the body.

=== Character background revelations ===<br />
* [[Eisuke Hondou]] was revealed to be the biological brother of Rena Mizunashi who's real name is [[Hidemi Hondou]]. He had leukemia as a child and was given a bone marrow transplant from Hidemi. As a consequence, his blood type changed from O to AB. He is cleared of any residual suspicion of being involved with or followed by the [[Black Organization]].<br />
* Hidemi Hondou admits to being a [[CIA]] agent on a mission to infiltrate the Black Organization. Her "running away from home" and overseas schooling was a cover story for her CIA training.<br />
* Hidemi Hondou reveals her father, [[Ethan Hondou]], was also a CIA agent on the same mission. Although it seemed like Hidemi killed her father, the truth was that Hidemi made a mistake, so her father commits suicide in a way that makes it look like Hidemi killed him for being a traitor in order to fool the Black Organization and rescue her. As a consequence, Hidemi gains the trust of the boss and is able to ascend the Black Organization's ranks.<br />
* [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization five years prior to the current timeline using the alias Dai Moroboshi 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 timeline 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 [[Andre Camel]] made a mistake causing the Black Organization to discover Akai's true allegiance.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref> Akai is still in love with Akemi Miyano and wants to get revenge for her murder. Her last text message to Akai contained a confession of love to him, and an unrevealed P.S.<br />
* Andre Camel is revealed to be an FBI agent loyal to Akai 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. As it was his mistake that got Akai ousted and led to Akai's girlfriend, Akemi Miyano, being killed later he volunteers for the dangerous role of transporting Kir in order to make amends.<br />
<br />
=== Important event summaries ===<br />
* Conan and Shuichi Akai confront Black Organization member [[Rikumichi Kusuda]]. Although the FBI fail to apprehend him in the hospital, he commits suicide when he discovers Akai is chasing him.<br />
* Conan and Akai use Eisuke to force Hidemi into revealing she was really conscious and strike a bargain with her to help her return to the Black Organization if she will share intelligence with the FBI as well. At this time, Eisuke learns his sister is a CIA agent on the trail of a large organization, but is not allowed to hear any more information.<br />
* Conan, Akai, and Camel safely execute a plan that returns Hidemi to the Black Organization while making it looked like the FBI failed to protect her. She convinces the Organization that Haido Central Hospital Staff were not involved so that civilian harm is avoided.<br />
* In order to clear suspicions about how easy it was to reclaim her, the [[The Boss|boss]], through Gin, orders Kir to call out Shuichi Akai and kill him. She does so, shooting Akai in the lung and head while Gin and Vodka watch on camera.</spoiler><br />
<br />
== Manga to anime changes ==<br />
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}<br />
* In the manga, it was never mentioned how Akai and Akemi first met. But in episode 497, it was shown in a flashback that 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.<br />
* In the scenes where Rena is in the hospital bed she is seen wearing a hospital mask but in the manga she does not wear one.<br />
* In the manga, Kusuda's gun resembles a Glock pistol. However, in episode 497, it resembles more of a M1911 model pistol.<br />
* In the manga, there is a scene in which a Black Organization guard is spying on Kir when she is confronted by Gin. However, in episode 502, this scene is omitted from the anime.<br />
<spoiler><br />
* Akai's face after he was killed by Kir was only shown once in the anime instead of twice like the manga, presumably because of the violence and blood. The two panels of Akai's face in the manga showed that Akai's head moved and his face became clean while Kir stepped away from the truck. The anime's censorship made this much more difficult to notice.</spoiler><br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
* The anime reordered several cases in the making of Clash of Red and Black. In the manga, [[The Devil of the TV Station]] occured in between Deceased Mother's Memento (Manga: 586, 587-590, Anime: 492-494) and the Fake Patient (Manga: 595-598, 495-497).<br />
* The anime omitted a single chapter manga case called "[[Volume 57#The Fugitive|The Fugitive]]" that took place in just before the Fake Patient (Manga: 595-598, 495-497). It has been made into an anime special called [[Fugitive: Kogoro Mouri]]. Moreover, [[Ichibyōgoto ni Love for you|opening 23]] vaguely resembles the plot of this short case.<br />
* In episode 491, we can cleary see a restaurant that copied [[Wikipedia: McDonald's|McDonald's]] since the logo was similar as the M of Mcdonald's but just put upside down making a W. The name of the restaurant was [[Welcome Burger]].<br />
* Rikumichi Kusuda's vehicle is a grayish blue Nissan Fuga [Y50].<br />
* Akemi Miyano's vehicle is a white Nissan 240Z [S30].<br />
* Chianti's motorcycle is a black 2007 Ducati Superbike 1098, Korn's is a black 2006 Harley-Davidson Night Rod [VRSCD] and Vodka's is a blue 2008 Honda CB1300 Super Bol d'or.<br />
* Kir's vehicle is a sunlight silver 2006 Mazda Roadster (Mazda MX-5) with a retractable hardtop [NC].<br />
* Segawa's elder brother's vehicle was a Mercedes-Benz C-Klasse [W203].<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rumi Wakasa'''|若狭 留美|Wakasa Rumi}}, whose real name is {{nihongo|'''Rachel Asaka'''|レイチェル·浅香|Reicheru Asaka}}, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Due to an increase in the number of transfer students to [[Teitan Elementary School]] over the past year, they have hired new teachers. She is the new deputy homeroom teacher for class 1-B.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of them, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face, where she rendered three assailants unconscious with a broom in what could have been seconds.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
=== Martial arts ===<br />
While well-hidden, she is a skilled fighter, much stronger than [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]. So coordinated and precise, she can seamlessly create the illusion that her taking down foes is a mixture of clumsiness and pure luck. It is still unknown what style she uses, but she has shown proficiency in [[Wikipedia:Jōdō|Jōdō]] and elbow strikes.<br />
<br />
=== Keen observation and deduction skills ===<br />
She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] to solve a case. She may also be aware of Conan's peculiar use of gadgets as she has witnessed him tranquilizing [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], and using the voice changer bow tie to perform a sleeping deduction show. Conan mentioned using his tranquilizer watch to her on her first appearance.<br />
<br />
=== Painting ===<br />
She is shown to be able to paint a life-sized tiger in a realistic style in one afternoon, and is able to easily fix a smudged painting.<br />
<br />
=== Firearms ===<br />
She is shown to be a capable sniper and counter-sniper, tricking assailants into shooting at a decoy to reveal their positions, before successfully returning fire.<br />

After they finish, Rumi treats them to dinner. But when they hear loud sounds from the neighbor, they goes over to check it out and finds a dead body and an unconscious man. Later back in Rumi's apartment, Conan finds a receipt that may prove that she knew the case would happen before hand and invited them there on purpose. Later Rumi incapacitates the culprit under the guise of falling over. The news crews outside happen to take a picture and Ayumi gives them Rumi's name.

Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or because she cannot see. When Kuroda seems to know the order that everyone introduced themselves in, despite originally claiming to have had earplugs in while sleeping. Rumi accuses him of spying on someone.

Rumi and Kobayashi take the Detective Boys out to collect edible plants. As they do so, Rumi detects the scent of blood blown by the wind and immediately thinks about Kohji's death. At the mention of good luck charms, Rumi remembers back to when Kohji said, "With the watchtower bishop, you can be sure of making a good move", while holding up a shogi bishop. Then he says, "So they're going to kill me despite that?" She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a "foolish person", while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover.

However, they are unable to contact police by their phone. Also, Rumi notices the shogi piece which has been kept on her back pocket is missing and finds out it has been picked up by Amuro according to Genta. After they are rescued from the cellar, Rumi uses the badge as a bait to lure Amuro back into the cellar and knocks him out in order to retrieve the shogi piece.

<br />
=== The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3 (Anime: [[The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3|1087]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Plot Exposition ==<br />
=== Hints that Rumi Wakasa was not Rum ===<br />
*The descriptions of Rum were all of a man, but she is a woman.<br />
*Her name "Wakasa Rumi" seems too obvious.<br />
*Like Kuroda, she perhaps should have recognized Haibara as Sherry and acted against her. However, no action is taken against Haibara despite seeing her five days a week at school.<br />
*Despite the activation of her Black Organization sense, Haibara says she likes Wakasa.<br />
*The photo of the bodyguard Asaka, whose face was not shown, may mislead her as the main suspect because Kuroda and Wakita are both men while she is a woman.<br />
*Rum is a cautious person of whom nobody, not even inside the Black Organization, has an accurate description. If Rumi Wakasa was Rum, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be shown on the news, pro golfer case, with a name so close to the code "ASACA RUM". Members of the Black Organization, like Gin and Vodka, believe that he 'messed up' with the Haneda murder, so exposing herself on the news was a risk if she was really Rum.<br />
*She works as an elementary school teacher, meaning she cannot move around freely to outside of school during working hours and leaving work often will make her more suspicious. If she was Rum and were to move around freely, with or without disguise, there is a possibility that someone will remember her stalking around Mouri Detective Agency.<br />
*In a flashback, she seems to have been traumatized by Haneda's death. Rum was likely the murderer.<br />
*In Rumi's flashback, Kohji Haneda is seen dead and bleeding profusely from his mouth. The palm of Kohji's corpse was open. Which implies that Rumi is not the killer and neither took the piece after prying open Kohji's palm, she might have just picked it up after the real killer discarded it at the scene.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===<br />
[[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]<br />
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]]. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely used clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occurred in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she had bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behind his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquillizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquillizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to be thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.<br />
<br />
Rumi has an interest in Ai Haibara since she says she resembles the woman (Ai's mother) who ruined her.<ref>Beach House Murder Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===<br />
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.<br />
However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===<br />
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda ===<br />
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend while she thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf. His last words were "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end" still ring in her head as she seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.<br />
<br />
=== Tsutomu Akai ===<br />
As of now, it is unclear what the relationship Tsutomu and Rumi had. During the beach house murder case, where after Subaru fends off a criminal gang and tells her to bring the Detective Boys to safety, she has a flashback of Tsutomu defending her, saying "The monster we are about to witness, is not an opponent a young girl should risk her life against, I alone will be enough". It is left ambiguous what the 'monster' that Tsutomu was referring to is.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]<br />
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Yukiko is a fairly tall and fair-skinned woman. She has bright-blue eyes long wavy light-brown hair that curls at the ends with shorter bangs that part to the left to frame her forehead. She is slender yet curvaceous and well-endowed in built, she is considered very beautiful and admired by most men. She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Eri Mouri. A woman who doesn't accept aging gracefully, she will commonly dressed in attire more commonly seen by women in their twenties.<br />
<br />

She is also likewise very knowledge about the distinct differences of various cultures, including how things are referred to and how their gestures work. A very composed and creative person, she excels in making up lies on the spot with well-thought out backstories, able to constantly adapt to situations to continue the deception and likewise remember her deceptions for later usage. Very persuasive, she as a talent for reading a person's nature and adapting her nature to make them more compliment.<br />
<br />
=== Disguise ===<br />
[[Image:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sharon Vineyard with Yukiko while under Toichi's tutelage]]<br />
Yukiko is an exceptional actress, having earned world-wide fame and various prestigious awards when only a teenager. Showing her talent since high school, Yukiko has an uncanny ability to perfectly adapt herself to whatever character she chooses. She can effortlessly change her mannerisms and speech-patterns, as well as accent and dialect, to suit the situation. Expanding upon this and learning from [[Toichi Kuroba]], she became a master of disguise. Much like her former friend, Vermouth, with only minimum preparation required, she can perfectly change her appearance or that of others to perfectly look like virtually anyone. Her performance is able to easily fool even close friends and family. Unlike Vermouth though her skill in disguise is limited vocally, as she is unable to mimic male voices. As such, she normally takes on female personas if not of non-existent people.<br />
<br />
=== Other Skills ===<br />
Yukiko is an accomplished driver, able to perform daring stunts behind the wheel. She is also a highly skilled cook.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped [[Shuichi Akai]] go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Name origin ==<br />
The name Yukiko Fujimine ({{lang|ja|藤峰}}) name comes from [[Lupin III]] character [[Fujiko Mine|'''Fuji'''ko '''Mine''']] and actress [[Wikipedia:二階堂有希子|"Yukiko" Nikaido]] (the original voice of Fujiko). Her alias, "Fumiyo" ({{lang|ja|文代}}), comes from Fumiyo Akechi, wife of [[Edogawa Rampo]]'s [[Kogoro Akechi]].<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Conan Edogawa'''|江戸川 コナン|Edogawa Konan}} is the alias used by [[Shinichi Kudo]] in his shrunken form. Shinichi took the appearance of his six or seven-year-old self after being exposed to a prototype poison called [[APTX 4869]], which he had been forced to swallow by two men in black later revealed to be members of the [[Black Organization]].<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]]</ref> The poison de-aged Shinichi's entire body except for his nervous system and therefore he still has the personality, memories, and incredible deductive ability of his teenage self. Conan's goal is to hunt down the Black Organization and have them arrested for their crimes, as well as find an antidote to the APTX 4869. To do so he plans to make the washout detective [[Kogoro Mouri]] famous in hopes of attracting cases related to the Black Organization.<br />
<br />
Conan is often treated as a separate character from Shinichi by fans and often viewed as the main character of the series while Shinichi is viewed as a recurring character. He has become a popular figure in Japan and even appeared on numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other media.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
''Conan Edogawa'' is [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s alter ego. He did not exist before the chain of events, involving members of the [[Black Organization]], that led Shinichi to transform back into a child.<br />
<br />
[[File:APTX 4869 given to Shinichi.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi being drugged.]]<br />
=== The Transformation ===<br />
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi brings his friend [[Ran Mouri]] to [[Setting#Tropical_Land|Tropical Land]], a local theme park, to celebrate her victory in the Metropolitan Karate Championships. He later ends up solving a murder case there.<ref name="e1" /> As they are leaving, Shinichi witnesses a suspicious exchange between an unknown businessman and [[Vodka|a man in black]] in a secluded area by the Ferris wheel. While spying on the suspicious men, Shinichi does not notice [[Gin|another man in black]], who knocks him out from behind and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]]. They then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurred. Shinichi's body shrunk back to that of his six-year-old self.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 59: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> In desperation and confusion, Shinichi heads back to his house and runs into his next-door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. After a few attempts at proving he's Shinichi, he finally succeeds in convincing the Professor. The latter warns him he must keep his identity secret as the [[Black Organization]] will surely try to kill him and others associated with him should they learn the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref><br />
{{clearleft}}<br />
[[File:Agasa shinichi.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi as Conan in his shrunken form with Hiroshi Agasa first time met and Professor Agasa will go to<br />
Report to the police about this kid.]]<br />
<br />
=== Taking a new identity ===<br />
Shinichi comes up with the alias Conan Edogawa using the mystery author names [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''''Edogawa''''' Rampo]] and pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's who then places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], owns a Detective Agency which may provide a chance for Conan to run into a case involving the Black Organization. However, Kogoro is a terrible detective with little credibility. Using helpful gadgets that Agasa makes, Conan sets out to improve Kogoro's detective reputation by solving cases for him while also hiding the truth that Conan is the one solving cases. By knocking Kogoro out at crime scenes with a fast-acting [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer]] and using a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice modulator]] to relay deductions in Kogoro's voice, Conan creates 'Sleeping Kogoro'. The conceited Kogoro enjoys his newfound reputation and the money it brings in so much that he doesn't question why he is suddenly passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep.<br />
<br />
=== Creation of the Detective Boys ===<br />
Conan enrolls at [[Teitan Elementary School]] to further protect his identity and is befriended by classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], who create the ''[[Detective Boys]]'' not long after.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> In the beginning he found the kids annoying, but he started to warm up to them and even gives them missions to accomplish.<br />
<br />
[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan stuns Kogoro with his wristwatch, ready to solve a case!]]<br />
<br />
=== Solving cases ===<br />
As Conan, Shinichi helps Ran's father solve cases by putting him to sleep and simulating Kogoro's voice using the special bowtie gadget Professor Agasa made for him. He also spends a good amount of time with his Detective Boys fellows and solves many small cases with them and sometimes in the company of Professor Agasa. In some situations, when there's only Ran, Sonoko, and himself, he will use Sonoko instead to solve the case at hand. Because of that, Sonoko eventually becomes another moderately well-known "sleeping" detective, although her reputation is only known to the local police investigation team and Sonoko's friends. In many later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterward that Shinichi told him what to say.<br />
<br />
=== Encounter Black Organization ===<br />
Soon after being shrunk, Conan sets the plan to pursue and arrest the Black Organization members. Initial attempts were in vain until Haibara appears and starts giving clues on their whereabouts. However, in some of his early attempts, Conan tends to underestimate the ability of the Organization, leading to situations where he or his close friends being harmed and almost killed. Once understood the Organization and having allies to help, among them Shuichi Akai, who had been undercover in the organization and knows their ways, his later plans are more successful to foil Black Organization's plans, although he hasn't been able to expose the Black Organization and arrest their members yet.<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
As Conan, Shinichi tries to behave like a child. He refers to Ran as "Ran-neechan" (''nee-chan'' meaning older sister, a common nickname Japanese children give to teenagers and young adults they look up to), and refers to Shinichi as "Shinichi-niichan" (''nii-chan'' meaning older brother). He also refers to Kogoro as "Oji-san" or "Occhan" (both meaning Uncle), although he also does this as Shinichi. As Shinichi, he refers to Conan as usually "Conan-kun" or the "Kid in the Glasses". Shinichi treats Conan as a separate person completely, thinking for example, "changing back into Conan".<br />
<br />
[[File:Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]<br />
[[File:Ran conan do not tell.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi <br> (Picture from the "[[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode one]]" version).]]<br />
Conan remains very close to Ran, who in return is very protective of him. However, because Ran is unaware of his true identity, Conan often finds himself in awkward situations with her, such as when she confessed her feeling for Shinichi to him and when she made him bathe with her at a hot spring.<br />
<br />
Conan's intelligence remains intact even though he has shrunken into a child. As Shinichi, his deductive ability earned him the monikers "[[Wikipedia: Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force". Conan maintains extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases and escape tricky situations. Conan tries to speak in a child-like manner when dealing with adults, but he often gets caught up in the current case and begins speaking like an adult, referring to advanced topics and using reasoning much too complex for a normal child. When this happens, he often tries to pass it off as "something [he] heard on TV" or "taught by uncle Kogoro/professor Agasa/Shinichi-niichan".<br />
Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he is called out for talking about either subject in too much detail, he tries to escape suspicion by saying it was something Shinichi told him about. Although as the series has progressed the adults around him have<br />
become more used to his "being quite smart for a child", causing him to behave more like himself around them, he still tries to pass as a normal child.<br />
[[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan whispers to [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]]<br />
The only police officers with whom Conan can speak professionally are the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], especially [[Jodie Starling]], [[Shuichi Akai]], [[James Black]], and Inspector [[Kansuke Yamato]] of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye.<br />
<br />
Conan tends to act more like himself around the [[Detective Boys]], even to the point that they find it odd when he acts like a child around adults. He will often play games like baseball with the Detective Boys, but he is too used to soccer to perform well and will even instinctively use soccer techniques, such as kicking in games that do not call for it. Because he is unfamiliar with popular games and TV shows and bad at video games, Genta and the others tend to think of him as dumb. This annoys Conan so much that he will secretly watch TV in the living room after Kogoro and Ran go to sleep to get more "practice" in.<br />
<br />
While he thinks that criminals should be punished, he also seems willing to give culprits, who have attempted murder due to misunderstandings and fail, a second chance and let them off the hook.<ref>The Celebrities' Secret</ref><ref>Won't Forgive Even One Millimeter</ref><ref>Scuba Diving Murder Case</ref><ref>Poisoned Fisherman Attempted Murder Case</ref><br />
<br />
After he had one time failed to stop the culprit from committing suicide,<ref>[[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case|Episodes 11: Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]].</ref> he began to believe that a detective who has cornered a killer and just let him kill himself is no better than a murderer, and therefore he tries to do everything to stop it. At times when he fails to save the killer, it haunts him. At first, he's callous and unempathetic: in The Bandage Man Villa murder case, when the culprit threatens to commit suicide, Shinichi calls his bluff by outright telling him to do it. However, soon after that Shinichi suffers through his own Norbury with the Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, during which a culprit commits suicide because Shinichi identified them without thinking ahead to how the culprit might react. The next two cases were, a culprit planning to commit suicide to have Shinichi removing the lethal tools before confronting them and placing officers around the perimeter to prevent the culprit from jumping respectively—and in each instance, Shinichi is haunted by the death of the culprit in the Moonlight Sonata case, enough to snap at Hattori for offhandedly suggesting it may have been better if they let the culprit of the day kill themself, stating that a detective that allows that is "no better than a murderer himself." The Detective's Nocturne case caps off this development arc, with Shinichi accompanying and befriending a suicidal murderer to form an emotional connection and convince them not to kill themself.<br />
<br />
However, an innate characteristic that he has, and probably had as Shinichi may be due to being a detective. Whenever he hears a scream or sees a culprit, he will immediately and without hesitation run toward the sound or culprit instinctively.<br />
<br />
If he is with another adult, or detective, he will most likely be in front of 2 people running toward the sound.<br />
If by himself or with some other non-detective, he will still be running toward the sound.<br />
Whether it is a victim or a culprit, he will be one of the first 2 people.<br />
<br />
If it is to a victim, and another detective or officer is present, he may hang back a little, but he has no hesitations to checking on the victim, looking for clues, or going after culprits.<br />
<br />
And while it may have been somewhat forced on, Shinichi/Conan stops being as attention-seeking as he was in his original body.<br />
Subtle, but during "The 3 'K's of Osaka" story, Conan/Shinichi didn't want to investigate the case because his soccer idol was a suspect (and later confirmed to be the actual culprit). Afterward, he stopped thinking like this, deciding that even if his friends, family, or someone close to either one is a suspect, he will consider that person a suspect until proven otherwise (such as Genta's dad being a possible suspect in "The Culprit is Genta's Dad" or Ran in "Kaitou Kid and the Blush Mermaid").<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
[[File:Conan full face.png|thumb|right|200px|]]<br />
Conan has dark brown hair which mostly hangs downwards just above his blue eyes, but there are also a few strands that stick up at the front and back of his head. Conan's usual outfit consists of a blue blazer with a single button and a pair of shorts, red trainers, and white socks, even though he has taken to wearing more casual clothing as time goes on. He also wears a red bowtie and his dad's old glasses. Both these items were later [[Gadgets|specifically modified]] by Professor Agasa to include a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice changer]], [[Button Speaker|microphone]], and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|homing device]], to aid in Conan in his cases. His [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|red shoes]] have also been modified to harness electric and magnetic fields to stimulate pressure points on Conan's foot, greatly enhancing his kicking power.<br />
<br />
Additionally, much like Hattori and Shinichi, Conan is incredibly popular. Ayumi and Haibara both have crushes on him, he has been hit on by girls around his shrunken age repeatedly, and even Jodie and Vermouth have both been charmed by his charisma. One even promised to make him her husband.<br />

=== Detective skills ===<br />
[[File:Glasses Modification(Microphone).PNG|210px|thumb|left|<br />
Conan eavesdrop Police investigation meeting in [[Zero the Enforcer|Conan the movie 22]] to save Kogoro mouri from being a suspect.]]<br />
All of Shinichi's detective skills carry over to his Conan form, although Conan does not have the reputation Shinichi had. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to remember every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about and may have a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eidetic_memory photographic memory] to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Conan's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony that other people miss, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies to link them to the crime. Conan has an extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases; something he likely acquired from his incessant reading in his "first childhood". There are only a few people like [[Heiji]], [[Saguru]] and [[Yusaku]] who are at the same detective level as Conan, with Yusaku, be the only person who is noticeably better than Conan.<br />
<br />
As a child, Conan can attract less suspicion while investigating crime scenes, get away with searching people's personal property, and ask innocent questions without setting suspects on guard, although it comes with the drawback of not having Shinichi's authority or reputation. He is also shown able to read lips.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref><br />
<br />
Additionally, in the [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|Red, White, Yellow case]], Conan was specifically referred to and asked for help by a classmate.<br />
<br />
=== Observation Sense ===<br />
He is highly observant on almost every single thing in his life, whether at a crime scene or his everyday life, whether he is Shinichi or Conan. If he notices anything amiss, he will frequently leave the Detective Boys, or whoever to investigate immediately, esp. if he thinks the organization is involved, but his curiousity knows no bounds.<br />
<br />
It is kind of like his brain will not rest, as long as he is awake because he frequently observes everything, and wants to investigate it.<br />
<br />
[[Conan Cornered in the Darkness|At one point]], this is why he was kidnapped, and placed in a coffin with a fake bottom, in an old-style hearse, which the kidnappers did not know was going to be sent to the scrapyard and crushed within hours of placing him in there.<br />
<br />
He is also a real people watcher and spends a lot of time watching people help determine careers, emotions, what is going on with them to name a few. If need be he will get up, and investigate further.<br />
<br />
He frequently notices momentary facial expressions that are only on a person's face for a second or two, which is all it takes for him to register the true emotions of people and various culprits. Such as a suddenly hidden smile upon finding the body of one's spouse, and the list goes on.<br />
<br />
Some examples are the following:<br />
<br />
In [[Home of Beika's Grenier]], when the old man used a hand to stand up, despite the presence of 4 little children, Conan noticed instantly the look that the old woman gave her husband since he should not have used his hands to stand up in the presence of others.<br />
<br />
In [[The Tense Tea Party]], in [[Haido Central Hospital]], Conan was watching [[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]], and instantly noticed how he reacted after a small child was counting down, "Three... Two... One..." and shouted out, "Zero!!" Since Amuro noticed his reaction, he had to cover it up, and say that "'Zero' was one of his nicknames when he was a little child."<br />
<br />
This was the first clue to Conan that Amuro may not just be the Black Organization Member Bourbon, but [[Public Security Bureau|something else too]]. During [[The Scarlet Return]], Conan began to deduce from his observations, that Amuro was from the Japanese Secret Police, which became confirmed by the end of the saga.<br />
<br />
Even when he was little he was practicing observing details and guessing careers of people, [[Episode 881|not always accurately]], but he was a little boy at the time. This became much more accurate as he became older, and he retained this knowledge when he shrunk down to Conan.<br />
<br />
=== Being Watched or Paranoia Sense ===<br />
However, this particular Sense is the sense to know when he is being watched or observed by others. It may be called Paranoia, but it is not Paranoid if someone is really watching or following him, which he can quickly pick up on usually.<br />
<br />
This may stem from his involvement with the [[Black Organization]], and others.<br />
<br />
It may also help that his parents like to watch their son in disguise, and [[Yukiko Kudo|esp. his Master Of Disguise Mother]], with his [[Yusaku Kudo|Mystery Author father's]] habit of testing his son's observations and deductions from the time when he was a young child.<br />
<br />
This ability is even more important due to the Black Organization wanting both [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] and his [[Shinichi Kudo|teenage self]] 'Dead," since it helps to protect them.<br />
<br />
This sense comes in a lesser degree as well:<br />
<br />
Although Conan can speak professionally with the FBI, especially [[Jodie Starling]], [[Shuichi Akai]], [[James Black]], and Inspector [[Kansuke Yamato]] of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye, as well as everyone, who know his identity, it does cause problems with everyone else.<br />
He can even speak this way to the [[Detective Boys]].<br />
<br />
This Sense also allows him to eventually realize when he is being highly descriptive, and rambling with adult knowledge, for him to quickly cover it up with "saw it on Tv'" "Heard it from [[Kogoro Mouri|Uncle]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], or [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]," and to begin talking and acting like a kid, even though the Detective Boys do not get why he suddenly goes all child-like, which is the only time he does.<br />
<br />
It may also help him to know when [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] is suspicious that he is Shinichi Kudo, so he has to attempt to behave more like a child to mislead her for her protection.<br />
<br />
This sense also allows him to determine if it is safe to use his tranquilizer on someone for the "sleeping Detective" routine. If he is being too closely watched, he has to continue to give hints, and possibly throughout the entire deduction, if he is unable to tranquilize someone: Kogoro, [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], or someone else, if necessary.<br />
<br />
This sense did not seem to activate at all at [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|the shrine]], when he was talking to Jodie, however, after a disguised Bourbon had a little chat with Jodie, and secretly placed a listening device in her sleeve, he wandered off, so that he can continue listening to them.<br />
<br />
However, with that deceased pickpocketing case, he and the other pickpocket victims were brought to the crime scene, so he continued listening to Jodie and Conan's conversation, although he did not appear to watch or pay any attention to Jodie, Conan, Agasa, or any of the 4 kids, he probably had a good view of [[Haibara]], unlike every other time, [[Sweet and Cold Delivery Service|when she attempts to hide her face from him]].<br />
<br />
If he was visually watching intently, Conan would probably have picked it up, but Bourbon's observations were done in a way, that did not place Conan on high alert, except for when Jodie kept bringing up "Shuu."<br />
<br />
Needless to say, after the [[Kogoro in the Bar]] case, when Takagi told him some information, he was really on high alert, and this sense may not have activated due to his panic mode, which was still evident at the beginning of [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well]] case, although he was being observed by Bourbon, who was listening around the corner, however for several hours later, he did appear to be quite paranoid, and maybe that is why it did not appear to activate because he was already on high alert and frightened at the time.<br />
<br />
Now, this sense is sometimes just a fleeting sense, however, something does seem to activate it, even if it was just momentarily, but it does leave a hint that someone might be watching him.<br />
<br />
=== Speed Reader ===<br />
In [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case]], he was shown to be able to read through hospital records at a lightning-fast speed.<br />
<br />
=== Killer Radar ===<br />
This radar is not completely accurate, but at times, he only has to see a person to know that they are the killer.<br />
<br />
In the first episode, he could sense that [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] were killers, but that did not stop him from tailing Vodka, only to be knocked out by Gin, and fed a [[Apoptoxin 4869|poison pill, which made him shrink to the body of a 7-year-old]].<br />
<br />
In [[The Romance Novel with the Unexpected Conclusion]], he knew who the killer was within minutes of the body being discovered, and merely had to get the evidence and figure out the trick.<br />
<br />
There are many other instances as well.<br />
<br />
In [[The Mysterious Woman With Amnesia Case]], he probably would have picked up on the amnesiac woman being a killer, but she did have amnesia, although he highly suspected when he saw her hands, which are the hands of someone who works with wire. He picked up that she was a hitwoman, who specialized in killing by use of a wire garrote, which she used to strangle her victims.<br />
<br />
In one episode, someone fell from a balcony, and Conan instantly knew this woman was the killer. The police brought up the information of her husband being killed during a robbery a while back.<br />
<br />
After she was questioned and was allowed to leave, Conan began acting and begging her to let him ride in her expensive-looking car, and she did. They left without [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]].<br />
<br />
He even managed to have her take him to see her place.<br />
<br />
After she left him alone, he began investigating, and around the time of his deduction, Kogoro called him, and the call ended soon afterward.<br />
<br />
When Conan stated that he knows that she is responsible for the death of her husband, and the guy who just fell, she threatened to kill him, and he lets her know that he hit redial on the phone, and Kogoro stated, "The police are on there way."<br />
<br />
=== Suicide Alertness ===<br />
This sense allows him to determine if a person, and most likely the culprit is likely to commit suicide, which would probably be a result of the deduction stage of a case.<br />
Sometimes, it may be simply obvious, with the culprit stating their suicidal intentions, but it is not usually that way, and Conan's sense was developed after a specific incident.<br />
<br />
In [[Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]], Conan figured out that the serial killer planned to die, like his father, and before their mind could be changed, the culprit threw Conan through the window, just before the building went up in flames. Since that incident, Conan is more determined to take the suicidal choice away from the culprits.<br />
<br />
In [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case]], Conan had asked, [[Heiji]], "If he ever killed anyone before," stating that he feels that letting a person commit suicide when it can be stopped is the same as killing the person oneself.<br />
While Conan was talking with Heiji, he was also replacing the gasoline with water to stop the culprit's Murder/Suicide.<br />
<br />
In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.<br />
<br />
The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].<br />
<br />
After [[the Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.<br />
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.<br />
<br />
In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], Conan quickly figured out that the woman in the agency's bathroom was the killer of the "accused deceased guy.<br />
After [[Bourbon|Amuro]], [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], Ran, and Conan escorted her home to her apartment, then Conan behaved like he was desperate to use the bathroom, which made sense, since a corpse was on the toilet seat of the apartment until the police removed it, and it is still a crime scene.<br />
<br />
When everyone else went to the kitchen for tea or something, Conan rushed to the bathroom and quickly went in the other direction to investigate the apartment. Most likely, he discovered bugs, and especially a bug in the suitcase with another corpse, which was under the bed.<br />
<br />
When he was finished with his investigation, he left the apartment and waited for her.<br />
<br />
After Masumi called Ran, Amuro and Kogoro realized there are bugs present, and Amuro hung up on Masumi.<br />
<br />
Amuro has a bug detector, and while Amuro, Kogoro, and Ran went on the search to discover all of the bugs in the apartment, the woman made up an excuse and immediately bumped into Conan, who was waiting for her.<br />
<br />
She agreed to take him with her to a nearby convenience store and gave him some juice, which she drugged with sleeping pills. After he appeared to fall asleep, she continued driving.<br />
<br />
When Kogoro, Ran, and Amuro discovered the body and noticed Conan's absence, Kogoro called the culprit/kidnapper, and she stated that Conan will be returned in the morning.<br />
<br />
After Kogoro and Amuro did more investigating, and noticing that bank robbery, and that 2 of the suspects are the dead guy in the suitcase and the deceased one at the agency.<br />
<br />
Ran told Masumi and Agasa that Conan has been kidnapped, which of course sets the stage for the big rescue scene:<br />
<br />
Masumi on her motorcycle<br />
<br />
[[Subaru]], [[Agasa]], and [[Haibara]] in Subaru's car, with Haibara wearing the tracking glasses.<br />
<br />
Amuro, Ran, and Kogoro are in another Vehicle, with Kogoro in the back seat.<br />
<br />
At some point, Conan stopped acting like he was asleep, and gave her his deduction and even helped her to discover which of those 3 women is the third bank robber, who killed her boyfriend in the bank. However, he would not give her the answer straight away, since he told her, "I do not want to lose anyone. I mean you," since he read that she intended to kill the third robber, and then herself.<br />
<br />
By bonding with her, he managed to get her to agree to let the police handle it, and to turn herself in, once he told her.<br />
His plan was working splendidly until the third robber, with a shooting gun, entered the car, and grabbed and immobilized Conan, as well as holding tightly to his right wrist, so that he could not tranquilize her, which is where the rescuers came in.<br />
<br />
In another episode, Conan was with [[the Detective Boys]], when they came across a man, and after he dropped his lottery tickets, they helped him to pick it up. This man was talking positively about the future, and he even had lunch with the 5 children.<br />
<br />
After he left, Conan notified and began teaching the other Detective Boys the signs that this man was about to commit suicide today, and they followed this man to a subway station.<br />
<br />
Conan stating, "It'll hurt, you know," referring to jumping in front of the subway train.<br />
<br />
Conan and all of the Detective Boys: [[Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko]], [[Ayumi]], and [[Haibara]] told him their evidence that he was about to commit suicide.<br />
<br />
Conan even managed to help him to locate the winning lottery ticket that he had lost, which was inside of the eyeglass container that his sick and hospitalized granddaughter gave him. He had not opened it since he lost that ticket. He was contemplating suicide to have his life insurance pay for her operation, thankfully he now has the lottery ticket, which may be able to help his granddaughter.<br />
<br />
After all, if he did commit suicide, the insurance company would not have paid it, if they were aware it was a suicide, which thankfully these 5 kids prevented.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, Conan began teaching the other Detective Boys some of the signs of a suicidal person, so they may be aware of them next time they find another suicidal person.<br />
<br />
=== Bluffing and Telling Lies===<br />
He can bluff if needed to come to the correct deduction. However, he is not a great liar.<br />
<br />
Bluffing is giving misinformation, to trip up the culprit. A few examples of Conan's Bluffs are the following:<br />
<br />
In [[Holmes Freak Murder Case]], he stated the incorrect question of number 241 on that Holmes Test to prove that the culprit did not answer any of the 1,000 questions since he knew the test grader was already deceased.<br />
<br />
In [[The Case of the Lucky Calico|the Lucky Calico]] case, he told 2 bluffs, although only 1 bluff was discussed:<br />
<br />
The first one was to mistake the gender of a male calico, and stating it was a female, to gauge how this "supposed owner" would react since male calico cats are worth a fortune. Conan managed to see the reaction before [[the Detective Boys]] blew it. Either way, this "supposed owner would have backed out if the calico was a female.<br />
<br />
The second bluff was discussed when [[Azusa]] stated that she did not know that "when a group of people is together, the cat will always jump to the one in the middle." [[Amuro]] stated that Conan did a bluff so that he can perform his experiment with the calico and the 3 "supposed owners," before remarking that Conan is like a cat sharpening his claws." Amuro also did not state that it was to allow more time to pass, so that the [http://catnip catnip], would not affect [[Taii]] or [[Goro]], so that Taii's true owner can be properly identified.<br />
<br />
In [[The Case of the Besieged Detective Agency]], a gunman strapped with bombs came into the detective agency, shortly followed by three women. His instructions were to discover which of the 3 women murdered his sister and made it look like a suicide. Conan called [[Ran]], who was with [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], and Sera closed Ran's phone but kept her little phone thing placed inside the phone, so it is still open, and Conan can hear everything that is being spoken.<br />
<br />
The gunman stated that he will blow up the agency if Kogoro cannot name the killer and that once the killer is named, he will only kill the killer and himself. Thankfully, after the gunman discovered Ran's phone was still open, he welcomed the assistance of another [[Shinichi Kudo|Detective Shinichi Kudo]].<br />
<br />
After the [[Detective Boys]] managed to do the footwork, Conan was able to finish solving the case, but he first had to stop the gunman from committing a murder/suicide, so he bluffed that the sister killed herself.<br />
After the gunman was arrested, Conan finished solving the case, out of earshot of the suicidal man and named the killer, who is not who they thought it was.<br />
<br />
As far as his cover of Conan Edogawa, he does have a hard time keeping others ignorant of his true identity.<br />
It does not help that he behaves more like an adult, when not actively playing with the Detective Boys, and he quickly switches to Adult Mode, if an investigation is in order, due to a crime or something else entirely.<br />
<br />
Two major examples of his being a lousy liar:<br />
<br />
When he had a hold of [[Kir]]'s shoe, with his bug and transmitter, at the park, she asked him if he followed her, while applying her CIA Lie Test to him.<br />
She made him feel weird, and he did say "no," but she knew that he did follow her, and lied about it. It is a good thing that she previously turned off her camera or wire, so the other [[Black Organization|Black Organization Operatives]] may not kill him. She then thanked him for "picking up her shoe for her," before leaving.<br />
<br />
In [[Haido Central Hospital]], [[Amuro]] asked Conan if he remembers his friend, [[Kusuda Rikumichi]], who was a patient, but went missing.<br />
[[The Tense Tea Party|Conan, quickly trying to end that line of questioning from Bourbon, quickly answered, "No."]]<br />
<br />
Amuro smiled and told him that he was amazing. He then went to question other people nearby, and returned to Conan, and stated, "Most people are not confident in their memories to instantly remember a person by their name only. Usually, they have to ask questions, before answering."<br />
It is kind of like Amuro was aware of how amazing Conan is at so many different things, but he can't lie to save his life.<br />
It is like Amuro decided to give the kid a tip on how to tell a convincing lie.<br />
<br />
=== Strategist ===<br />
He may not have always been a great strategist, but his strategies are becoming much better.<br />
<br />
In [[Boy Genta's Misfortune]], he deduced information of the culprit, and ... He may not have organized the stakeout of that building yet, however, he did organize a roadblock with Sato, who got in contact with Yumi in [[The Man from Chicago]], when a [[James Black|foreign man]] was kidnapped. Unfortunately, Yumi did let them through since they were in a police car and dressed as policemen, however when they deduced that Conan came up with a scheme so that the police can surround the culprits, by making it look like they were chasing some kidnappers, who kidnapped some kids. The plan worked wonders. By the way, even James Black the kidnappee, knew who staged his rescue with that ploy, after just one encounter with the five "Detective Boys," and all Conan had to go on was "P & A."<br />
<br />
In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], when Conan was on the phone with [[Vodka]], pretending to be the recently found '[[Suguru Itakura|dead guy]],' he successfully managed to move the meet up. He wanted to have the meet before they found out the guy was dead, and he was hoping to get fingerprints, saliva, DNA, etc.<br />
<br />
The thing is it may have worked if [[Gin]] did not stop Vodka from touching the item. In short, Gin became aware that someone crafty, like a fox, is after them. In short, Conan forgot, who he was dealing with, the "[[Black Organization|Men in Black]]," and to be more precise, the two that [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|shrunk, and almost killed]] him before.<br />
<br />
Conan managed to survive that encounter, but just barely due to Gin discounting something important. At any rate, Conan was stuck in that locker for several hours, and even lost some oxygen, and blacked out for a while. Conan has since that time became much more cautious when dealing with the organization, unfortunately, there is no one-hundred-percent safe way to take on that organization.<br />
<br />
In [[Episode 345|Head-To-Head]], after he received an invitation from [[Vermouth]], he asked [[Haibara]] about her, and decided to tranquilize her, and lock her in the basement, and attempted to hide the spare tracking glasses.<br />
<br />
He mentioned to [[Agasa]], that [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s name is on the invitation and envelope, and his: Conan Edogawa's name is on the letter, in short, Vermouth knows his identity.<br />
<br />
He e-mailed someone and got a reply and a sudden cough.<br />
He inspected his house and found [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother]].<br />
<br />
He told his mother about Vermouth, and her knowing his identity. He had her do some disguises.<br />
Yukiko disguised [[Hattori]] as first a teenage Shinichi, and then as the Invisible Man for the party.<br />
She then disguised Conan to took like Haibara.<br />
She then gave herself a Medusa Disguise and accompanied Hattori on the ship with Kudo's invitation.<br />
<br />
[[Jodie]] picked up Haibara, who was a disguised Conan, and he told her what to say for Vermouth to reveal herself.<br />
<br />
He planned on having her take him into the Organization, but she attempted to kill Jodie, he unmasked himself, and his plan went out the window, when Haibara escaped from the basement, and found the spare tracking glasses, and arrived at the scene since she was tracking Conan.<br />
<br />
In [[Clash of Red and Black]], he came up with a few strategies:<br />
He told his plan to [[Akai]], who was heavily involved with both major SECRET strategies.<br />
<br />
First, you need a "[[Eisuke Hondo|Prince]] to wake up the [[Kir|sleeping Princess]]," which means Eisuke to wake up his sister, who is continuing to fake her comatose condition.<br />
<br />
Then Conan, Akai, Kir, and [[Camel]] are involved in the returning Kir Undercover in the [[Black Organization]], keeping everyone else in the dark, until she is back undercover.<br />
<br />
Then Conan came up with the plan to fake Akai's death by out-guessing [[Gin]], the entire way. Only Akai and Kir, as well as Conan, were in on this plan, but Conan could not be present, at this time at all, and did need to give Jodie his phone with the needed fingerprints. Everyone else was left in the dark, except for [[James Black]], who noticed the glue-like substance on Akai's fingertips just before the meet.<br />
<br />
In [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]], Conan had even less time to come up with a working strategy, since he did have his guard down. Thankfully, his mother let him know Vermouth was on the train, and he saw the Picture [[Mitsuhiko]] took of [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]] when she saved them a little earlier.<br />
<br />
He had to quickly come up with a plan, which used an all-star cast of himself, his mother, [[Subaru]], and [[Kaito Kid|Kid disguised as Sherry]] as the finishing touches.<br />
<br />
That strategy worked out big time, since they were able to save Haibara's life, discover [[Bourbon]]'s identity, and make Vermouth agree to quit trying to kill her.<br />
<br />
In [[Scarlet showdown|the Scarlet episodes]], after Camel let it slip that [[Rikumichi Kusuda|Kusada]] shot himself in the head, Conan had less than a day to come up with a plan that made Bourbon think that Subaru and Akai were 2 different people and to save Akai again.<br />
<br />
This time, Akai was in the back of Jodie and Camel's car.<br />
<br />
His mother, Yukiko Kudo, was disguised as her husband appearing on tv at an awards ceremony.<br />
<br />
His father, Yusaku Kudo, was dressed as [[Subaru]].<br />
His father was wearing a voice-changing facemask and did a bit of coughing.<br />
Sometimes he answered, and Conan listening in another room, with several cameras, had to also use Subaru's voice when talking to Bourbon in the living room.<br />
<br />
=== Athletic ability ===<br />
Conan is just as skilled as Shinichi in soccer, but a lot less powerful because he only has the strength of a young child. To make up for this, Conan uses Agasa's power-enhancing kick shoes. Conan uses a signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Like Shinichi, Conan's kick is accurate over distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing, snowboarding, and ice-skating.<br />
<br />
Conan also has some skill with firearms despite the recoil is much more severe for a child's body. He shoots out a bus window during a bus hijacking and precisely grazes Ran's leg to render her useless as a hostage in the second movie.<br />
<br />
Conan's nimbleness is especially noticeable in the non-[[canon]] movies. For example, in the sixth movie, Conan is seen to fight with various antagonists, and he even holds his own against Jack the Ripper, a notorious serial killer who bests even Ran in combat. In the fourteenth movie, Conan does a backflip on his skateboard to avoid being killed by the blimp's hijackers. Conan shows a proclivity for skateboarding. In the movies and anime, Conan can easily perform very complicated tricks and dodges with his skateboard at high speed.<br />
<br />
=== Acting Ability ===<br />
He may not have great acting ability, however, he is good enough to accomplish his goals.<br />
<br />
In [[Detectives' Nocturne]], he was given some juice, drugged with sleeping pills. He noticed that the safety seal was broken, so he pretended to drink it, and also at some time, appeared to fall asleep, spilling half of the juice on the back seat floorboard of her car, and acted asleep for a long time.<br />
<br />
At some point, she even laid him down in the back seat, where he remained in that pose for a long time.<br />
<br />
When it was dark, and she stopped to get gas and go to the restroom, she covered him with her coat, so he would not get sick.<br />
<br />
He continued acting asleep when she returned, although he probably went through her coat pockets when she was away.<br />
<br />
He continued acting asleep, until he decided that he had enough evidence for his deduction, and to give it to her.<br />
<br />
In [[Two Days with the Culprit]], after he was kidnapped by Ryousuke Oomine, when he had an opening in some kind of room, he acted like he was scared of a rat or something, and began hugging, but in reality, he was frisking him to determine if he is armed.<br />
<br />
After he solved the case, he asked Ryousuke Oomine, "how are you at acting," and they went to the location of the three suspects, and put on an act like he was about to kill Conan, for the culprit to reveal himself. It worked.<br />
<br />
In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night]], Conan did a good job of acting like [[Haibara]] in the car with [[Jodie]], but he probably broke character to tell Jodie what to say to [[Vermouth]] to get her to reveal herself to them, but that also earned his trust in Jodie at the same time.<br />
<br />
After he removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wristwatch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.<br />
<br />
After Vermouth abducted the unconscious Conan and drove some distance away, she e-mailed the boss and began thinking. When she touched his shoulders, she felt some wires and stuff on him, so she cut his coat, and found some tubes going from Conan's body into a box. She started to rip out the wires from the box, and heard, "I wouldn't if I were you." If those wires were pulled, it would send information to the machine that he is dead, and that e-mail that she just sent would be sent to his partner and the police. It is unknown just how long he was asleep, and when he woke up, but he later recalled the sound of the digits to the Boss.<br />
<br />
In [[The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History]], the TV Special, while in a public bathroom, and after Conan saw some important evidence, he realized the danger, and faked a slip on the wet floor, where he was promptly chloroformed, and abducted.<br />
<br />
When he woke up, he pretended that he had amnesia.<br />
He eventually revealed that he was Edogawa Conan Detective to one of the people involved, however, the amnesiac child act had to continue for the duration of the case.<br />
<br />
In [[The Woman with White Hands|The Woman with White Hands Case]], while rehearsing his lines for tomorrow's play, Conan is playing 'Ikku' in the school play.<br />
<br />
All of the following: [[Kobayashi-sensei]], [[Rumi Wakasa|Rumi-sensei]] as well as Conan's classmates are astonished at his wonderful acting and delivery of his lines.<br />
<br />
He told Haibara that he played that part when he was in third grade, and his parents had trained him well. With [[Yukiko Kudo|his mother being an actress]], and his [[Yusaku Kudo|father being a mystery writer]], who suggested a better phrase for him to say rather than the written line.<br />
<br />
In short, neither of his parents would have permitted him to give anything less than stellar performance, so they made certain his performance was perfect. This is why he missed several rehearsals as Conan as he remembered most of his lines.<br />
<br />
In [[A Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case]], at a beer garden at night, Conan overheard this man on the phone and surmised that his child had been abducted. Surprisingly Kogoro and Ran listened, and they followed this man, who they found out was a dentist.<br />
<br />
However, the only way to find out more, and everything, is to talk to the dentist. Since there may be some onlookers, Conan decided to play the part of a patient.<br />
<br />
He did a magnificent job of acting like a little boy who had an excruciatingly bad toothache to convince any onlookers that he was a patient so that they could enter the Dentist's office and talk to the Dentist. He appeared to be even louder than Kogoro on the intercom, asking for his child to be able to see the dentist, even though the dentist's office is closed.<br />
<br />
As good as he is at acting, he is not always great at it.<br />
<br />
Most notably, when he is petrified.<br />
<br />
When he hears the [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children's melody]], he is unable to even act, like it is nothing, and esp. if he hears it in regards to dialing the [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Boss's]] [[The Raven Chaser|E-mail]] [[Dissonance of the Stradivarius Violin|address]].<br />
<br />
At the [[Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap|shrine with Jodie]], he was definitely unguarded, and the two did quite a bit of talking: before and after she had been bugged by a disguised [[Bourbon]] (Claiming to be [[Tohei Benzaki|a hostage, who was coincidentally pickpocketed just before being knocked out by Bourbon]], at the same bank with Jodie and the [[Scar Akai|scarred guy]]), until a disguised Vermouth (Claiming to be his [[Motoe Benzaki| 6-month pregnant wife, who taped up Jodie]] at the bank) removed the bug.<br />
<br />
In the [[Kogoro in the Bar|Kogoro at the Bar Case]], [[Takagi Wataru|Detective Takagi]] notified Conan, that Tohei Benzaki, claims that he was never involved in a pickpocket case and that he is single, and Conan begins to remember that the Bank robbers separated the hostages, who came with someone, from those who came alone. Only those who came alone taped up the ones who came with others.<br />
<br />
This placed Conan in a panicky state, and he began running from the bar, probably to the [[Agasa|professor]]'s house, since it is unlikely that he would have fled back to the Detective Agency, since [[Haibara]] might be in danger. If he did go to Agasa's house, it may also have placed [[Subaru]]/ [[Akai]] in danger too.<br />
<br />
In [[Bathroom Where Ran Collapsed As Well|the Bathroom where Ran Collapsed As Well Case]], he was still running from the bar.<br />
<br />
He began thinking that Bourbon and Vermouth may have made those purposeful mistakes in their story to trap him into making a mistake too, so he tried to calm down and called Haibara, who is safe, at this time. He then hung up.<br />
<br />
Around the corner, Bourbon had been closely watching him, when he was on the phone.<br />
<br />
Later that day, [[Ran]] and Conan were in an apartment complex lobby, while they were waiting for [[Eri Kisaki|Ran's mother]], to have lunch.<br />
<br />
Conan was attempting to act normal, although he failed miserably since he was looking around the entire time, since they arrived, and probably ever since he hung up from Haibara earlier.<br />
<br />
He was so obviously frightened, that Ran asked if he is okay. He answered in the affirmative, but soon afterward, he was sweating bullets.<br />
<br />
Ran thought about taking him home, rather than eating with her Mom, since he might be coming down with something.<br />
<br />
Soon afterward, an already terrified Conan begins hearing the shutter of a camera and becomes even more terrified. Soon afterward, he saw a camera take his picture from behind a nearby chair, and [[Masumi]] came out of hiding, which helped his fear to disappear, so that he can go back to his normal "Not terrified for your life" state again.<br />
<br />
She probably witnessed his fear, while working on a case for her client, but chose to help him to calm down finally.<br />
<br />
In short, when he is terrified, he is unable to act like everything is normal.<br />
<br />
Another way that he fails at acting is when he cracks the culprit's trick and gets the last bit of evidence for his deduction.<br />
<br />
If anyone is watching Conan at these times, he may have some explaining to do.<br />
However, no one is paying attention to him at these many times. They are either not around, due to 'less footwork' or completely ignoring him, unless they (Kogoro) want to get on to him for being where he shouldn't, and react promptly to that reprimand, rather than observing him.<br />
<br />
He has shown both of these expressions a lot, and sometimes even both of them.<br />
The first is when he usually figures out the trick, and the momentary reaction he has when everything clicks into place.<br />
The second has finally been termed as a 'Prankster Smile' in the lucky calico case, by the detective boys, most noticeably Haibara and Ayumi in that order to realize that when he shows that smile, he has cracked the case and figured out everything.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, he is frequently unable to act bored much of the time, even as Conan, since he is a genius, who could probably teach his high school teachers things as Shinichi Kudo, and bring him back to elementary school, and he is bored to death if he can't use his intellectual brain, which does help that most of the culprits do have a trick that requires to be cracked if they are to be caught.<br />
<br />
However, if a trick, code, or riddle is highly perplexing, Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement, which he is not good at hiding from the observant.<br />
<br />
=== Thirst For Intellectual Stimuli ===<br />
In [[The Secret of the Moon, the Star, and the Sun]], Professor Agasa made a treasure hunt game for the Detective Boys, really wanting it to be very difficult that Shinichi would practically give up, forgetting that if it was that way, the three real first graders would be unable to crack it at all.<br />
<br />
At any rate, Conan had already cracked the case and found the professor's box within five minutes of entering the house, and he was focused on a much more complex code that someone else had come up with at the house.<br />
<br />
The Detective Boys reprimanded Conan for being lazy, and not help to figure out where the clues to the Professor's treasure hunt, so that Conan had to lead the lazy children to each clue, so it is surprising that he did not just tell them where the box is, and don't bother him while he is focused on this less boring code.<br />
<br />
However, Agasa noticed Conan's deliriously happy expression when he was getting to solve a complicated riddle. Conan even stated, "The more I don't understand, the more excited I get."<br />
<br />
It's worth noting that in [[The Scarlet School Trip]] he calls Ran a difficult case that even Holmes couldn't solve, and says that to decipher the heart of the woman he loves is very difficult. Considering how much he loves solving difficult mysteries, this kind of a confession is perfect for a boy like Shinichi. He also mentions during [[Momiji Ooka's Challenge]] (related to Ran and her heart) that the more difficult it is, the more fun it is to solve.<br />
<br />
Conan seems not to be able to hide his excitement in these cases, much like his boredom when he cannot use his brain, and [[The Final Screening Murder Case]] showed his limit is only two hours than he HAS to use his brain to be HAPPY.<br />
<br />
He only seems happy when he can use his brain or with Ran.<br />
<br />
Thankfully, most of the culprits do use a trick or code to excite him, in contrast to a very simple one in [[The Secret of the High Sales]], which was solved by 3 real first-grade children. He even stated at the end of that case, "His brain needs a smart culprit." Due to the simpleness of the culprit, he had a hard time with that case. That may explain why Haibara was uninvolved in that case since she was aware 'the culprit' was too simple and unintellectual for Conan's level of complexity.<br />
<br />
In fact, in [[Conan vs. Kaitou Kid]], he was bored at the talk of the thief, since "This is stupid. Thieves are boring.," and planned on going to bed, however as soon as they mentioned a coded message of the announcement, he was all ears. In fact. Even though he cracked the code at Beika Museum, in the daytime, he did not tell anyone else that they were far off the mark.<br />
<br />
Instead, he snuck out at night to meet the Kid that night. Conan asked Agasa about tome information in his father's files, before meeting Kid, since he was fascinated to meet Kaito Kid, a "strange retro-thief, whose crazy enough to announce his moves."<br />
<br />
Thankfully, there are some detectives and federal agents, where he can show his intellectual stimuli, and this is done by them recognizing that he is the one solving Kogoro's cases and that he is a very smart child, even if they are unaware of who he is:<br />
[[Jodie Starling]], [[James Black]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Kansuke Yamato]], and [[Yui Uehara]], and even [[Wataru Takagi]], and the famous Shogi player, [[Shukichi Haneda]], an [[Black Organization|undercover]] [[Japanese Intelligence Agencies|Federal Agent]], [[Rei Furuya]].<br />
<br />
It is hard to say if he can even hide his intellect and thirst for it from [[Hyoue Kuroda]], a [[Rum]] Contender, since before their [[Kawanakajima Murder Case|first case]], Kuroda had already allowed it to be known that he was aware of Conan's deductive intelligence, by his introduction of Conan, 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and say that Conan can crack cases by seeing what no one else does. Conan Edogawa, Detective," in front of the Nagano Policemen present. In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent]], he refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: Ninzaburo Shiratori and Inspector Yuminaga.<br />
<br />
As much as Conan may want to hide his intellect from Hyoue Kuroda until he deduces Rum's identity, it may not be possible.<br />
After all, in a case, Kuroda did tell Takagi and Megure to do whatever Conan says, and in another case, he did instruct Bourbon to answer all of Conan's questions about the case, when he realized that Conan is also investigating this case too.<br />
<br />
=== First aid ===<br />
Conan has repeatedly dispensed first aid to stabbed/shot/cardiac/poisoned/hurt victims before the rescuers arrive.<br />
<br />
In [[A June Bride Murder Case]], In the manga, Conan rinses out Miss Matsumoto's mouth with milk after he sees her collapsing, to neutralize the poison in her body. It is later stated that this bit of first aid may have been the reason why Miss Matsumoto was discharged from the hospital sooner than anticipated. These parts are cut from the anime entirely.<br />
<br />
In [[Scuba Diving Murder Case]], after a woman had suffered a snake bite from a water snake, Conan immediately grabbed a glass of ice tea and gave it to those sucking out the poison, and treating her.<br />
<br />
Although Kogoro did not know of any of this, Eri told him, "Ice Tea has Tannin. The first thing to do in the case of a snake bite... is to make use of the Tannin component in tea to clean the wound and alleviate the poison." While Kogoro is flabbergasted that Conan is aware of what to do in a snake bite, Eri states, "That boy is quite sharp. Compared to people like us, sitting here with our arms folded, he's much more of an asset. More importantly, the ex-policeman here doesn't seem to know a thing about this."<br />
<br />
In [[The Celebrities' Secret]], is the first case that does go more into detail about Conan's first aid skills, such as giving sugar sticks to a person who attempted suicide with a hypoglycemic drug, which is used to treat Diabetes. The other case that showed his first aid skills was in the Scuba Diving Murder Case, when he quickly grabbed a glass of ice tea, due to the needed Tannin, to combat the poisonous snake bite. In the other case, he handed the tea to the rescuers, however in this case, he began administering it himself.<br />
<br />
In all three cases, the person survived, due to his first aid knowledge and skills.<br />
<br />
However, these are just three of the cases that showcase it or two in the anime.<br />
<br />
=== Stamina ===<br />
It is hard to say about his stamina since he was shrunk down to Conan.<br />
It is not as good when he is in his 17-year-old body since he now has the body of a 7-year-old.<br />
<br />
Without Agasa's gadgets, His strength is also that of a 7-year-old too, which includes his kicking strength as well.<br />
<br />
However, he is a very active, and maybe hyperactive little kid, who frequently uses his feet and legs, whether running, kicking, and skateboarding around the town. So his feet and leg muscles are probably stronger than when he was first shrunk, but still..., he would be toast without the professor's Gadgets and especially his superkick shoes.<br />
<br />
He probably has normal stamina for a little kid, although some of the feats, and esp. in non-canon movies, may seem to exaggerate his stamina, but even in the scene when Ran was pushed in front of a moving train, and Conan immediately jumped down, grabbed her, and dragged her to safety, he was panting afterward.<br />
<br />
=== Music ===<br />
[[File:Conan singing.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Conan sings in the Karaoke.]]<br />
Conan cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Conan has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody. In Episode 11: [[The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case]], he knows that the piano is in tune and deciphers a message at the end just by listening to the notes that are played. Haibara directly described Shinichi Kudo as having a perfect pitch in the last scenes of the twelfth Detective Conan movie, [[Full Score of Fear]]. He also manages to replicate and sing dial tones for a phone, showing that the reason he can't sing is that he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 [[The Secret Played by the Diary|(Episode 614)]], Conan stated he isn't very knowledgeable about music but identified the untuned piano key whereupon Haibara joked about his sharp ears despite being tone-deaf. Surprisingly, Conan recognizes Twinkle Twinkle Little Star lyric from hearing 4 sets of 7-times tapping on the phone and can sing this song very well when he distracts a serial killer from assaulting Naeko in File 1017 [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|(Episode 974)]].<br />
<br />
Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in Movie 12, 'Full Score of Fear' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."<br />
<br />
=== Bomb defusion ===<br />
Conan can defuse a bomb effortlessly without external instruction. This has been demonstrated once in canon, and multiple times in movies.<br />
<br />
When Conan was in the area with the bomb, which only he could reach, while the bomb squad was trying to determine the kind of bomb that Conan is with so that they can give the little boy instructions on how to disarm the bomb.<ref name="ep304">[[Episode 304]]</ref><br />
<br />
He had already begun disarming it, and only stopped, when he realized if he waited until 3 seconds before the detonation, he will receive a hint as to the location of another bomb, so he hesitated, and discovered that it was Teitan High School, with the letters E-V-I-T. He also managed to disarm it before it blew up.<br />
<br />
=== Criminal psychology ===<br />
Conan shows a keen understanding of criminal psychology, occasionally being able to sense if someone is the true criminal. He can also predict the movement and plan of the criminals, and in some cases, he used this skill to "bluff". By deliberately giving the wrong deduction, he managed to make the criminal reveal the key evidence of the case, confess, abandon suicide's attempt, or lead them to the wrong ends (if they are chasing Conan).<br />
<br />
In non-canon, it was shown that if the criminal doesn't conform to the general intellectual pattern, Conan will have trouble deducing their crime, even if it is so obvious that the Detective Boys can deduce perfectly.<br />
<br />
[[File:Conan First met Kaito Kid.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan introduces himself to Kaito Kid when they first met. "Conan Edogawa, a detective!" in [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode One]].]]<br />
<br />
=== Reverse Psychology ===<br />
In the Clash of Red and Black Arc, he planned along with Shuichi how to replace Kir ack undercover in the Black Organization, without telling the rest of the FBI until it was over, however he did have to outthink Gin.<br />
<br />
He had to outthink Gin, and implement Reverse Psychology, if not Reverse Reverse Psychology when planning Akai's Faked death at Railla Pass.<br />
<br />
They knew that Kir would have to prove herself by killing Akai and that Gin always kills with headshots, so he would demand that of her.<br />
<br />
He also knew it would be at Railla Pass, and used Kusada's body, thanks to that spy shooting himself in the head and committing suicide.<br />
<br />
He also knew since Kusada had already touched his phone, make it look to the other FBI Members that Akai touched Conan's phone, but Akai had some substance to keep his fingerprints off of it entirely.<br />
<br />
In short, Conan had to predict what Gin would demand and where at, along with Kir and Akai, and at the same time, making Gin think that it is all "his idea."<br />
<br />
The only ones allowed in on the following secrets:<br />
<br />
Placing Kir back undercover:<br />
Conan, who planned it<br />
Akai<br />
Kir<br />
Andre Camel, who had to drive her.<br />
<br />
The other FBI members did not find out until she was placed back undercover, otherwise, they may have given the act away.<br />
<br />
Akai's Faked Death:<br />
Conan, who planned it, and even arranged for Akai to meet his Mom and Agasa somewhere else to help his new disguise.<br />
Kir, who was to kill him to prove herself to Gin<br />
Akai, who was to die<br />
James Black, who noticed the glue or substance to Akai's fingertips, just before the fateful meeting.<br />
<br />
No one else was let in on that secret at all, until the scarlet episodes, when Jodie and Camel finally learned about it, including Bourbon, who figured it out due to his keen observation skills.<br />
<br />
=== "7 Children" or "[[Nanatsu no Ko]]" Alertness ===<br />
This can also be called the Boss's E-Mail Address Alertness as well.<br />
<br />
After Conan's confrontation with Vermouth, when he appeared to still be unconscious from his tranquilizer dart, he heard her press the digits on her cell phone to reply to "BOSS" of the Black Organization at the end of Head to Head Halloween Party episode.<br />
<br />
He remembered the sounds of the digits being pressed when she was dialing the boss's e-mail address to respond to a message that he had sent her.<br />
<br />
Conan may be tone-deaf, but he does have Perfect Pitch and can recognize the tune of the Boss's e-mail address.<br />
<br />
At the end of The Dissonance of the Stradivarius Episode 387, he found out those digits are for the song of "7 Children" or "Nanatsu no Ko," which happens to the Boss of the Black Organization's E-mail address.<br />
<br />
He can recognize that tune in an instant, and immediately is on the hunt for the Black Organization Member, who just e-mailed their Boss.<br />
He cannot even pretend to act normally when he hears this tune.<br />
<br />
Even just the first four digits place him on high alert before he discovered the name of the tune.<br />
<br />
Even though Haibara stated that the e-mail address is a Pandora Box, which should never be opened, or dialed.<br />
<br />
Since he can recognize the Boss's e-mail immediately, which has shown many times:<br />
<br />
After his bug and transmitter, accidentally fell on the ground, and Rena stepped on it, he immediately heard her dial the Boss's e-mail address, and found out her code name of Kir, among other stuff.<br />
<br />
That tune also came in handy at finding out that a Black Organization Spy had infiltrated Haido Central Hospital, where Kir was hospitalized due to the e-mail being dialed.<br />
<br />
Even in the non-canon movie: The Raven Chaser, after Conan found out that the Boss's E-mailed had been dialed, he immediately chased after a disguised Vermouth, and saw her enter Gin's Porsche. Unfortunately, Irish, another disguised Black Organization Member, who was impersonating the Superintendant Kiyonaga Matsumoto, noticed Conan's behavior, and immediately began investigating Conan, and he even managed to obtain Conan's fingerprints and match them to Kudo Shinichi's fingerprints, when he held that mask and helmet in the Desperate Revival Festival, earlier.<br />
He may not have noticed if it was not for the Panic Mode or Near Panic Mode that this number and song instills in Conan.<br />
<br />
=== Computer skills ===<br />
Conan has some programming skills, for being able to create Mouri Detective Agency's website. He doesn't know about hacking, at least he is not able to crack Black Organization's encrypted data.<br />
<br />
=== Kaitou Kid radar ===<br />
Conan occasionally seems to be able to sense if [[Kaitou Kid]] is present at a crime scene.<ref>Black Star</ref><ref>Luna Memoria File 964 page 10</ref> Unlike [[Shiho Miyano#"Black Organization sense"|Haibara's "Black Organization smell" sense]], Conan's Kid detector isn't very reliable.<br />
<br />
=== Codebreaker and Codewriter ===<br />
He is great at discovering codes, as well as deciphering them.<br />
<br />
He frequently can decipher Kid's codes, among many others.<br />
In the paper airplane episode, Subaru and Conan, both managed to decipher the airplane code at about the same time.<br />
He was also able to decipher from E-V-I-T, that the next bomb was Teitan High School.<ref name="ep304"></ref><br />
<br />
He has even been shown to be able to write codes as well. When Conan, Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, were locked in a freezing delivery van, without their cell phones, and all they had on hand were some odds and ends, taxi receipt, and Taii, the cat. Conan managed to create a code out of the taxi receipt, which would look like trash to almost everyone, except the only person who would be able to decipher it in an instant, Amuro, who works at Café Poirot, and Taii makes his stop there every day at around this time. The code read, COR...P..SE," and the license plate number.<ref>[[Episode 722]]</ref><br />
<br />
He then placed the note in Taii's collar, who managed to escape. However, when Azusa was about to hand the note to Amuro, it blew away in the wind, only for Bourbon to find out the spelling from Azusa, and pieced together instantly, "Corpse." After Azusa stated that Conan knows the cat comes here every day, he took the rest of the day off work to track the note using his Wind App, taking into account the location of the building.<br />
<br />
Conan then remembered the cake that Agasa ordered for a delivery at a special time, located it, and wrote a message to redirect the cake to the Kudo Residence, where Subaru is living, and redirected it, "In the care of Mr. Kudo," and even added a message in the customer's copy of the receipt so that Subaru would know that they are trapped in the delivery van.<br />
<br />
Subaru sent a package, which was a cell phone to help the kids. However, they were found out by the culprits. Fortunately, Amuro came in time and disabling the culprits. Conan was able to use that phone to call the police.<br />
<br />
=== Literature ===<br />
Conan recognizes a phrase ("Kill me tomorrow--but let me live tonight.") from Shakespeare's Othello, which helps him realize that the victim was rehearsing a play, not having an argument with someone.<ref>[[Episode 975]]</ref><br />
<br />
===Mystery Magnet===<br />
No matter where Conan goes, he can't go anywhere without stumbling upon a murder or some other crime. Lampshaded after a while by whichever of the police officers happens to be on duty in that area and some of the characters:<br />
:* Megure in particular begins to wonder if Kogoro is the Angel of Death, later on, more accurately shifting his joking suspicions towards Conan himself as seen in Episode 549.<br />
:* During The Final Screening Murder Case (manga chapter 222/anime episode 138) where the Detective Boys are watching movies in a theatre and Ai tells Conan he should relax and enjoy a "child's vacation." When someone is killed at the back of the theatre, Ai remarks, "It seems you never have time for a vacation."<br />
:* In episode 141, Heiji says about Conan, "Every time I see that guy a case occurs," ... about thirty seconds before a scream is heard and a body discovered.<br />
:* In file 1088 Heiji said that the level of his Grim Reaper that gets him involved in cases is not high as Conan’s.<br />
:* And during The Mystery in the Netcase (File 311-313/episodes 246-247) where the Detective Boys and Ran and Sonoko independently wind up at the same beach, Sonoko says of Conan, "The reason we didn't bring him was that there are always cases when he's around!"<br />
:** Later in the same episode, Haibara learns where Conan and the others are after they're late returning to their hotel (having discovered a murder while she was not present) by asking the hotel staff if there is a murder being investigated nearby.<br />
:*[[Misao Yamamura]] said Conan needed to be exorcised because Conan keeps getting caught up into cases in the Mountain Witch Case.<br />
:* At the beginning of the first file of the paper aeroplane case, Conan notices how he seems to be running into cases all the time. This is the first time he's ever noticed, and this is over 600 chapters into the manga.<br />
:* Except that in the very first chapter of the whole manga, he tells Ran that murders "happen all the time", which implies that encountering a lot of murders is normal to him. The rate of cases must have ramped up even further for him to notice that something is odd.<br />
:* In [[Episode 748]] Sato has said Conan is every bit of the Angel of Death like Mouri is and she keeps finding him at murder scenes.<br />
:* In Zero Tea Time File 52 Amuro thought about Conan when he thought that something bad happens wherever you go like the Grim Reaper when Sakurako Yonehara talked about the grim reaper when she said she feels like she cursed because there are cases and police investigations happen at the places she works as a housekeeper.<br />
<br />
== Appellations ==<br />
Although most people will call Conan by his name suffixed with ''-kun'', or simply ''kid'', a lot of the characters have different ways of calling him due to the special relationships they share. The following is a list of the different appellations for Conan (and the ones Conan gives in return) encountered in the series.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Initial pursuit ===<br />
After Shinichi becomes Conan, he sets out to find the men in black almost immediately. At the suggestion of Agasa, he moves in with Ran and Kogoro, hoping that cases related to them come by. Pretty soon, a case involving a woman named [[Akemi Miyano]] (using the alias Masami Hirota) appears. Akemi robs a bank for the men in black in the hopes that they will free her sister from their organization. Conan is unable to realize the case's connection to the organization until after the men in black have shot Akemi and left her for dead rather than give up such a valuable asset as her sister. In her dying moments, Akemi warns Conan of the danger of the organization.<ref>[[Volume 2#File 013 - The Missing Man|Volume 2, Files 13-16: "The Missing Man"]]</ref><br />
<br />
Conan runs across the men in black again on a bullet train, this time learning their codenames: [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].<br />
<br />
At a game convention, Conan meets a third man in black named [[Tequila]], only to have him die in an explosion meant for someone else. Conan learns about a meeting place from the murderer, but just before he reaches the bar an explosion set by the men in black destroys the place entirely, leaving Conan without any leads.<br />
<br />
=== Introduction of Ai Haibara ===<br />
Later on, Conan meets child-size biochemist [[Ai Haibara]], the creator of [[APTX 4869]]. Ai grew up within the Black Organization as [[Shiho Miyano]] and is a former member of it along with her deceased sister, Akemi.<ref name="f178">[[Volume_18#File 178 - Code Name Sherry|Volume 18, File 178: "Code Name Sherry"]]</ref> After Akemi died, Shiho refused to keep working and took APTX 4869 to die before the Black Organization could execute her. Instead, she shrinks like Conan did and is adopted by Agasa so she and Conan can work together to find a cure and catch the men in black.<br />
<br />
However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the Kudo and Agasa's house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the Black Organization, even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...<br />
<br />
After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.<br />
<br />
She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.<br />
<br />
He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.<br />
<br />
In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.<br />
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.<br />
<br />
When Conan found out that the '7 Children' song's first lines' tone was the Boss's e-mail address, his initial thought was to have Takagi investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.<br />
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.<br />
<br />
In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.<br />
<br />
=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===<br />
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] Conan and Haibara cross paths with them at a hotel party while trying to prevent someone from dying at the hands of the organization. While there, Haibara is kidnapped by one of the members of the organization, [[Pisco]]. Conan manages to save Haibara and also learn about [[Anokata]]<br />
<br />
=== After Vermouth ===<br />
<br />
=== The Phone Number of 'That Person' ===<br />
After Conan solves a [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius#Postlude|case]] of serial murders, the [[Kyosuke Haga#Friends and acquaintances|culprit]] tells Conan that the tune created by dialing the phone number for the Leader of the Black Organization is the song "[[Seven Children]]".<br />
<br />
=== Returning Back to Shinichi ===<br />
Throughout the series, Conan has returned to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.<br />
==== East versus West Detective ====<br />
First, he temporarily returns to normal after drinking alcohol while infected with a cold.<ref>[[Diplomat Murder Case|Episodes 48-49: Diplomat Murder Case]].</ref><br />
He quickly turns back into Conan after solving the case and develops an immunity to the alcohol.<br />
<br />
==== Desperate revival ====<br />
{{Main|Prototype antidote}}<br />
Haibara invents an [[Prototype antidote|antidote]] prototype for the APTX 4869, and Conan first uses it in [[Volume 26]] to conceal his identity and allay Ran's suspicions that he is Shinichi. Haibara disguises herself as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi to put Ran's fears to rest.<ref>[[The Desperate Revival|Episodes 191-193: The Desperate Revival]].</ref><ref>[[Volume 26#File 256 - Concealed Truth|Volume 26, Files 256-258: "Concealed Truth"]]</ref><br />
<br />
==== Shiragami case ====<br />
The antidote prototype is again taken, this time accidentally in place of cough syrup. It wears off 24 hours later, with Haibara giving him another one to protect his identity. This time it wears off in a shortened 4 hours, once again interrupting his chance to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 647 - The Lost Memory|Volumes 62-63, Files 647-654: "The Lost Memory"]]</ref><br />
<br />
==== London Arc ====<br />
During the Holmes' Revelation arc in London, Conan takes an antidote so he can go overseas, because "Conan Edogawa" does not exist in real life, and has no passport. Ran quickly deduces that Shinichi is in London as well. She asks some Londoners about a Japanese boy, and they give her directions, without specifying it was a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo to conceal his identity from Ran. During this time, he manages to confess his feelings to her. Luckily for Conan, Haibara asks Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo, his parents, to go to London and give him a third pill, as she guessed he would have used his spare one for Ran.<ref>[[Holmes' Revelation|Episode 616-621]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 71#Following Holmes|Volume 71, Files 743-751]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 72#Following Holmes|Volume 72, File 752]]</ref><br />
<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|200px|Ran holding Conan.]]<br />
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}<br />
Although they are romantic interests as Shinichi and Ran, Conan and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share a brother/sister kind of relationship. Ran plays a nurturing protective role and treats Conan like a child version of Shinichi. They do a lot of activities together, such as swimming, going to the movies or festivals, and more. Ran and Conan both look out for each other's well-being. Ran stands up for Conan during Kogoro's outbursts and destroys any criminals seeking to inflict harm on Conan with her karate. Conan lends an ear and advice when Ran is in a difficult situation or needs to vent, and he comforts and encourages her when she is feeling down, especially about Shinichi being away for so long. It is even likely that Ran subconsciously knows that Conan actually ''is'' Shinichi, even though she seems reluctant to follow that notion.<ref>Ran told Conan that if only he is Shinichi on Episode 308.</ref><br />
{{clearright}}<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.]]<br />
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and Conan most often see each other as nuisances. Conan dislikes Kogoro's usually poor detective ability and case handling, slovenly personal habits, and overinflated ego. Kogoro's deduction doesn't seem to improve so Conan almost always needs to knock Kogoro out when he starts spouting off incorrect theories. Although in most cases Conan merely sees Kogoro as a drunk idiot, he often is impressed when Kogoro gets serious and gets the case right, so he will allow the "non-sleeping Kogoro" to take the spotlight. Kogoro views Conan as a freeloader who constantly gets underfoot and never fails to insinuate himself at cases, "interfere" with the scene, and pipe up with childish observations that consistently ruin Kogoro's deductions. Sometimes, Kogoro will also grab Conan by the jacket, leave him outside, or knock him on the head if he is too nosy when involved in a case. However, their relationship is intimate and Kogoro takes care of Conan just like a member of the house. At times when Conan is in danger or his life is in peril, Kogoro is seen to be visibly distressed, focused only on getting Conan back. In one episode where Conan was kidnapped, put into a car, and the car was in the process of being crushed, Kogoro was even in tears at Conan's apparent death but then rejoiced tearfully when he was shown to be unharmed.<br />
Conan in return does everything in his power to protect Kogoro from getting into trouble with the Black Organization, saving his life multiple times whenever Kogoro unknowingly gets involved with them.<br />
They are usually seen going to cases together (probably because Conan sneaks along with Kogoro, inserts himself into the case, or simply annoys Kogoro enough to bring him) and sometimes they'll follow Ran whenever they think she might be off to see a boy or "that detective brat" as Kogoro refers to Shinichi.<br />
{{clearright}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====<br />
[[File:783-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko nearly calls Conan "Shinichi" in public.]]<br />
Conan's parents, [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], like to push their child towards becoming an even better detective. They enjoy giving him challenges, typically without letting Conan know who's giving them; once they disguised as Black Organization operatives trying to kill Shinichi Kudo to show Conan how dangerous his goals are. However, after seeing that their son is determined to dive into the matter, they decide to follow his wish and even helps him out with disguises and plans.<br />
<br />
Yukiko loves to meddle in Conan's (and Shinichi's) love life, as she will often make allusions regarding Ran being her possible future daughter-in-law and Ai or Ayumi having feelings for Conan. He doesn't usually pay much attention to them. Once she told Conan that Ai has romantic feelings for him because she looked at him ten times in a short period, saying that the only time a girl would do that is if she likes the boy or the boy has something on his face. Conan simply pushes it off as Ai checking on her "lab mouse," but at night, in bed, Conan asks Ai if he has something on his face.<br />
<br />
Yukiko helped him out once to keep his secret identity from being exposed to Ran by creating an alibi for him. Yukiko once nearly called Conan "Shinichi" in public but Conan was able to cover it by creating a distraction.<br />
{{clearright}}<br />
<br />
==== Hiroshi Agasa ====<br />
[[image:Agasa and Conan investigating.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]<br />
Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, as an uncle. Because they both share the secret behind Shinichi's transformation and knowledge about the Black Organization, Conan often comes to him when in trouble or seeking help. Agasa's willingness to help whenever possible makes Shinichi's life as Conan more convenient. He was the one who created most of Conan's gadgets, including his power shoes and tracking glasses. He willingly plays Conan's case-solving mouthpiece when Conan lacks someone else convenient to use. When Conan needs something, such as information regarding past cases, he usually asks Agasa to get it. Agasa often acts as a chauffeur because he is trustworthy and the only adult with a car regularly available.<br />
<br />
Agasa often worries about Shinichi, especially when he thinks Shinichi might be getting over his head. Agasa almost always responds positively to Shinichi's requests but doesn't like it when Shinichi hides the reasons for it, especially if it is dangerous.<br />

<br />
==== "Shinichi Kudo" ====<br />
[[File:EP398 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Shinichi.]]<br />
They never meet each other for obvious reasons: Conan is Shinichi's secret identity. However, since Conan tries to act like a child, he often thinks of Shinichi as a separate character (in one episode, when Ran claims to go on a date with Shinichi, Conan bids goodbye, oblivious for a while that he is Shinichi). Judging from his completely made-up speech, Conan talks to Shinichi frequently by phone and learns a lot of skills and knowledge from him, and Conan admires and loves Shinichi. In turn, Shinichi is willing to satiate Conan's curiosity, but at one point he gets annoyed for Conan's inquisitiveness.<br />
<br />
==== Heiji Hattori ====<br />
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]<br />
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats Heiji in their first case. However, after discovering Conan's real identity, Heiji starts to act like an older brother towards him, much to the annoyance of Conan. Since then, the two have become closest friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They tend to stick together on cases, although sometimes this is because Heiji forces the less enthusiastic Conan to come along. While fond of Heiji as a fellow detective he can relate to, Conan finds Heiji's antics occasionally annoying. Much to Conan's chagrin, Heiji even convinces others that Conan is his disciple. Conan especially dislikes Heiji's dangerous habit of unthinkingly calling Conan 'Kudo' when others are present.<br />
<br />
Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better, and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives. Despite his teasing, Conan/Shinichi genuinely thinks Kazuha and Heiji would make a great couple.<br />
{{clearright}}<br />
<br />
==== Sonoko Suzuki ====<br />
She frequently talks to him like a brat and primary school kid, and he thinks of her as annoying.<br />
<br />
==== Masumi Sera ====<br />
Masumi Sera is like an older sister figure to Conan. She knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo. She is a mystery but is revealed to be the sister of Shuichi Akai and Shukichi Haneda. Conan takes Sera to be like a fellow detective, similar to how he treats Heiji and Saguru. Sera in return is very protective of him and also seems to have a crush on him, calling him a "wizard"; because when they first met 10 years ago, Shinichi/Conan was able to make her brother Shuichi laugh when she couldn't.<br />
<br />
==== Eisuke Hondou ====<br />
Eisuke discovered that Conan is the real Sleeping Kogoro before they even first met. Conan found him suspicious due to his resemblance to Rena Mizunashi. Eisuke was quick to notice that Conan's behavior towards Ran was similar to that of a protective boyfriend and decided to monitor him. Eventually, Conan found that he is the younger brother of Rena who is a member of the CIA infiltrating the organization, the relationship between the two seems to have improved somehow after Conan reveals his identity to Eisuke without hesitating to refuse his offer to take Ran with him in America. At that moment, Eisuke amicably confesses to Conan that he was aware from the beginning that he was sleeping Kogoro and Shinichi Kudo. He asked Conan to take care of Ran and the two leave on good terms.<br />
<br />
==== Shukichi Haneda ====<br />
Shukichi seems to have noticed Conan's intelligence and trusted his deductions the first time they met. Shinichi has met Shukichi in the past as a child, so Shukichi might recognize him as Conan because of his memorization skills, and also due to Shukichi calling Conan a Wizard, the same nickname that Masumi attributed to Shinichi when they met 10 years ago.<br />
<br />
=== Detective Boys ===<br />
[[File:Conan and Ai.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan and Haibara investigating.]]<br />
[[File:conan scary face.png|thumb|left|200px|Conan's scary face when he's intending to know Haibara's secret song.]]<br />
==== Ai Haibara ====<br />
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}<br />
Both are de-aged by APTX4869 and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes [[Ai Haibara]] and Conan close confidants and more empathetic with each other than most other characters. They share an interesting relationship. They believe and rely on each other. She certainly has no qualms about teasing him and is more than willing to poke a hole in his ego. While Conan initially was disgusted by Ai's ties to the Black Organization, especially with how she introduced herself, seeing her remorse and pain has improved his opinion of her. He is repeatedly protective of her and tries to give her hope when her fear of the men in black is overwhelming.<br />
<br />
However, when she introduced herself to him at night in front of the [[Kudo]] and [[Agasa|Agasa's]] house, she did it in a way, where she showed that she can be quite evil, like the rest of the [[Black Organization]], even telling him that Agasa, who is his lifeline to being a detective in his child's body is dead, really freaking him out. When he went to Agasa, he was alive and well, and all three spoke, but ...<br />
<br />
After the professor's case, he saw her real tears, when she was crying in his shirt, and since then their relationship has improved dramatically, and they even protect each other.<br />
<br />
She is also helping him to be more cautious than his initial, "The Black Organization is involved. I am scared, but I will hunt them down, and try and get the antidote," without thinking of the consequences.<br />
<br />
He is still determined to take down that organization, but he is now wiser than he was at in, whereas, she is more inclined to err on the side of caution, "Stop. Don't Go. Stay out of this," which will not take the organization down but may keep them safer.<br />
<br />
In regards to the Black Organization, they both tend to withhold information to protect the other one.<br />
It is difficult to know just how much she knows of the Organization's leaders and such, but she feels if she tells him anything until it comes up, he may carelessly act on it.<br />
<br />
When Conan found out that [[Nanatsu no Ko|7 children]] was the [[Boss]]'s e-mail address, his initial thought was to have [[Takagi]] investigate it, until she told him that "He will die. Takagi as soon as he reaches that person, and then they will find out who gave him that number, and you will die next.<br />
The e-mail address is Pandora's box that should never be opened.<br />
<br />
In return, Conan protects her a lot in regards to the organization: saving her life, withholding risky information, and coming up with plans to save her life, when she has been found out and trying to hide her from them.<br />
<br />
==== Ayumi Yoshida ====<br />
[[File:759-3.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is teasing Conan about Ayumi.]]<br />
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ayumi Yoshida}}<br />
Conan grows to respect the little girl in his class for her sharp wit and observational skills, along with the other members of the [[Detective Boys]]. [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] in turn has a very open crush for Conan as seen in instances when she gave him kisses on his cheek. However, she seems to not be aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of Conan because of this. Sonoko once mentioned that she thought Conan likes Ayumi to which shocked Conan and made him internally admit his love for Ran.<br />
<br />
==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima ====<br />
[[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] sees Conan as a role model, someone he looks up to. [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and more so Mitsuhiko, are often impressed by Conan's vast knowledge and incredible deduction skills. However, they both become quite jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi shows gestures of affection towards him (usually a small kiss on the cheek). While Conan initially only tolerated their presence, he has grown fond of them despite their relative immaturity.<br />
In a case, where Genta's father was a suspect, Conan decided to solve the case without telling the other, because he didn't want Genta to worry about his father being a suspect for murder.<br />
<br />
=== Law enforcement ===<br />
==== Police ====<br />
[[File:Megure and Conan Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective]]<br />
Except for a few inspectors, most listen to the little clues that Conan points out. After a while, Conan gets the attention of the whole Tokyo police department for noticing things even pros miss. [[Wataru Takagi]] in particular has taken to trusting Conan completely and doing whatever Conan asks him to without hesitation. Even [[Sato]] also treats him more like a detective.<br />
<br />
Even when Takagi is hesitant to do what Conan asks of him, as soon as Sato hears Conan's name, she immediately will take action or give him information sometimes.<br />
<br />
After [[Hyoue Kuroda]] became the superintendent of the Tokyo Prefecture, he has told Takagi and [[Megure]] to do what Conan asks of them in the [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case|Actress Blogger Case]].<br />
<br />
He even periodically refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" in front of the other police officers, such as Nagano Police Prefecture Officers, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and Inspector [[Yuminaga]], as well as Bourbon, who he instructed to answer all of Conan's questions when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case of [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]].<br />
<br />
==== Wataru Takagi ====<br />
Wataru Takagi is the only police officer who has come the closest to finding out about [[Conan]]'s identity.<br />
<br />
In [[The Man from Chicago]], When Conan is telling the police officers present about the Panda colors of the Police Cars, and that the younger generation may not know this information about their black and white cars, Takagi asks himself, "What generation is this kid from?"<br />
<br />
In [[The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages]], while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime. Takagi asked Conan about his real identity to which Conan answered that he would in the afterlife.<br />
<br />
He also is aware of Conan's sharp intelligence and takes him seriously to take him for questioning the suspects. He trusts Conan so much that he would take him seriously.<br />
<br />
Takagi has also come to acknowledge Conan's sharp mind and intellect, taking Conan's observations seriously and even allowing him to accompany him to question suspects, most notably during the New Scar and the Whistling Man Case where he has the rest of the Detective Boys remain in the car.<br />
<br />
Conan also fully supports Takagi's relationship with Sato, at one point orchestrated a plan to foil [[Shiratori]]'s attempt at an arranged marriage with [[Sato]]. When asked for reasons, he didn't answer but quietly relate the experience with Ran's relationship.<br />
<br />
==== Miwako Sato ====<br />
[[File:EP424 5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Miwako and Conan during a case Investigation]]<br />
<br />
She had developed a deep trust in Conan and his intelligence from her real first time investigating with him, and seeing him in action in the case of [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story]].<br />
<br />
Even when Takagi is hesitant to do as Conan says, unquestioningly, she will immediately and unhesitantly do as he says, almost all of the time, since she first met him.<br />
<br />
==== Kansuke Yamato ====<br />
Kansuke is one of the few police officers, who Conan can talk like an adult in front of.<br />
<br />
In [[A Dangerous Party of Two]], he even told [[Yui Uehara|Yui]] Uehara that he suspects Conan of being "the one leading everything," in regards to [[Kogoro|Kogoro's]] cases, and that is after only after they met up in one case so far.<br />
<br />
In fact, in that car ride, they were giving [[Agasa]] and [[Haibara]] a lift back to Tokyo, but he kept taking in a Nagano dialect, using phrases that terrified Haibara, such as "Half-Kill" and "Over-Kill, which dealt with a kind of Mochi, and not what Agasa and Haibara were thinking of."<br />
<br />
The reason why he and Yui were heading to Tokyo was to enlist Kogoro's help with the Red Wall Case, which Yui told Conan that it was his help they were wanting.<br />
<br />
==== Hyoue Kuroda ====<br />
[[Kuroda]] is aware of how good Conan is as a detective, calling him " Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", he also trusts his deductions and has already ordered the Tokyo police to follow Conan's Instructions.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, Conan is suspicious of Kuroda because he almost matches [[Rum]]'s description, he also became shocked that Kuroda became the Superintendent of Tokyo Police in [[Matsumoto]]'s place.<br />
<br />
In [[Kawanakajima Murder Case]], which was his first appearance, he already knew that Conan was 'The Brain behind Sleeping Kogoro,' and stated an entire dialogue stating his knowledge of Edogawa Conan in front of the Nagano Police Officers present, in his first speech to Conan.<br />
<br />
In [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|Mystery of the Burning Tent]], He refers to Conan as "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom" to both: [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] and [[Inspector Yuminaga]].<br />
<br />
In [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department]], he also instructed Amuro to answer all of Conan's questions, when he realized that Conan was also investigating the case as well.<br />
<br />
==== Rei Furuya ====<br />
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]] (Aliases as Tooru Amuro) has attached himself to the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] as [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person has shown up" when he learns Rei will be joining Kogoro on cases. However, after he finds out [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Amuro's membership in the Black Organization]], though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. This was made even worse when Rei caught him attempting to tranquilize Kogoro, but due to Rei's attentiveness, he was unable to and had to give hints to Kogoro instead. Although Amuro may not have seen the trick, he became convinced that Conan was the puppeteer behind Sleeping Kogoro, and began investigating Conan, which only made Conan more nervous of him. Their relationship later seemed to improve in [[The Scarlet Return]] when Conan learns that Rei is an undercover operative from the Japanese Secret Police when the two exchange smiles in Café Poirot. Conan even used his Voice Changing Bow Tie in front of Rei in [[The Heartfelt Strap]].<br />
<br />
When Shinichi Kudo is exposed on the media due to [[The Scarlet School Trip|Kyoto Field Trip]], he receives an email from [[Rum]], ordering him to gather information about Shinichi. After he helped to solve the [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case|Bunny Girls Case]], Amuro broke into the Kudo home, so that he can find out information about [[Kudo Shinichi]]. He had the altercation with an [[Akai Shuichi|unmasked Akai]], and both of [[Yusaku Kudo|Shinichi's]] [[Yukiko Kudo|parents]] turned on the light, so that the four of them can have a meeting. Currently, it is unknown what was discussed in that meeting, other than Conan planned it.<br />
<br />
It seemed to become strained again in the movie: [[Zero the Enforcer]], however that is due to Amuro had his subordinate, [[Yuya Kazami]] of the [[Public Security Bureau|Japanese Secret Police- Public Security Bureau]], plant phony incriminating evidence against Kogoro Mouri for a bombing incident. However, it turns out that the framing was to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength so that Conan can do what he was unable to do for his investigation. This way, he was able to use Conan as a Collaborator and to rely on his strength.<br />
<br />
=== FBI ===<br />
The FBI contains most of the few people that Conan acts normally around despite them not knowing his identity. Conan seems to place trust in the FBI and occasionally helps in their operations.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ====<br />
[[File:The Scarlet Return-Shuichi and Conan.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Shuichi and Conan ([[The Scarlet Return|Ep. 782]])]]<br />
[[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. Together they hatched a plan to send Hidemi Hondou back into the organization and fake Akai's death. He has discovered that Conan and Shinichi are the same by spying on him in a [[Volume 77#File 814 - Conan-kun, Right?|recent plot line]]. Conan once says to Shuichi, "I'm glad you're an ally."<br />
<br />
==== Jodie Starling ====<br />
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] nicknamed Conan "Cool Kid" and Conan (despite being wary when he first met her) now places complete trust in Jodie. Jodie has also called Conan to share what would normally be classified information, notifying him of a new Black Organization member, Bourbon.<br />
<br />
=== Black Organization ===<br />
==== Gin and Vodka ====<br />
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's interfering with their operations, Gin is curious who "that guy" is, referring to Conan. In the movie [[The Raven Chaser]], Gin tries to catch a glimpse of Conan's face from a helicopter but fails when Conan successfully downs the helicopter. Conan seems to have a very bitter hatred towards them, and this only increases as more people are targeted by the Black Organization.<br />
<br />
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization|Reunion of the Black Organization]], Gin had to shoot himself in the arm to stay awake, after he was shot with Conan's tranquilizer dart.<br />
He also found Conan's bug and transmitter in his car, however, due to a strand of [[Haibara Ai|Haibara]]'s hair, he is convinced it was [[Shiho Miyano|Sherry]], who planted them.<br />
<br />
In [[Contact with the Black Organization]], Gin told Vodka "You have to be always on guard. It seems Someone is investigating about us, a Detective clever as a Fox," without being aware that it happens to be a 7-year-old little child.<br />
<br />
In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]], he found Conan's bug and transmitter on [[Kir]]'s shoe and immediately planned to exterminate [[Kogoro Mouri]], who he was convinced left the bug. When Conan kicked a soccer ball into the Detective Agency window, Gin decided to add another victim, the little kid. Thankfully, [[Akai]] made him think the bug and transmitter were planted by the FBI, which saved them both.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]] seems to have a great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet' and her "Cool Guy."<br />
<br />
She also protects Conan, probably because when she was disguising as a serial killer in New York she was saved by Conan (Shinichi at the time) and Ran.<br />
<br />
When the Organization plans on killing Kogoro, and later Conan, she strongly objects to a degree where Gin suspects whether Kogoro is related to Vermouth.<br />
<br />
Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned, as opposed to Haibara. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he can bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.<br />
<br />
In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to Head]], After Conan removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wristwatch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.<br />
<br />
She also destroyed the box that he was connected to by many wires, so as not to possibly accidentally kill or hurt him, which pulling out the wires would have, according to Conan.<br />
<br />
After she used sleeping gas, to knock him back out, so that she can escape, and not lead the Black Organization members to him.<br />
<br />
She even covered the sleeping boy up with her coat, so that he would not get sick, since she had cut his shirt wide open, to see the wires and connected box, which may have made him sick, if he is not found right away, since it is pretty cold, and colds are spreading at this time.<br />
<br />
She shot herself in the leg and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and nowhere around her when Gin came to pick her up.<br />
<br />
In [[The Raven Chaser]], she even provided Conan with the name of [[Irish]] and gave him a little bit of information on why the Organization is interested in this serial murder case.<br />
<br />
In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to Gin, she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," to protect Conan.<br />
<br />
=== Others ===<br />
==== Kaitou Kid ====<br />
{{Main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}<br />
Before being shrunk, Shinichi encountered [[Kaitou Kid]] once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi has become Conan, Kid disguises himself as Ran to steal the Suzuki family's Black Star pearl. When Conan corners him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid implies that he stole all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ends up being a bluff, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid in subsequent encounters. Conan stops Kid from escaping with the jewel often enough that Conan has gained a reputation with the press as Kid's "natural enemy". In several instances Conan appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence, and seems excited by the chance to catch Kid again; appropriately, Kid seems to find Conan dangerous enough to warrant specific measures to keep him distracted.<br />
<br />
[[File:704 20.png|thumb|200px|Kaitou Kid disguised as [[Shiho]] as requested from Conan]]<br />
<br />
Conan does not buy into Kid's reputation as a mysterious, uncatchable phantom, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic",<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> and encouraging police officers that Kid is only a man and he can be arrested. However, if necessary, the two can put their rivalry aside for a little while and work together.<ref>[[Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces]]</ref> Conan has something of a gentleman's agreement with Kaitou Kid, in that he doesn't try to find or catch the thief outside of heists. In several instances, when Kid does Conan a favor, such as saving Genta's life,<ref>[[Big Adventure in the Eccentric Mansion]]</ref> Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape mostly unhindered. This exchange of favors can sometimes become a bit unbalanced; in exchange for not giving Kid away on a train Conan has Kid face down the [[Black Organization]] in disguise, and because Kid narrowly escapes an explosion with his life, he says that Conan now owes ''him'' one.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref><br />
<br />
In the non-[[canon]] movies, it is implied that Kid knows Conan's identity; he even helps Conan maintain his cover by disguising himself as Shinichi so that a suspicious Ran would stop suspecting Conan.<br />
<br />
==== [[Mary Sera]] ====<br />
Conan has been trying to discover the truth about [[Mary]] since the day he first saw her in a picture with Masumi Sera. In "The detective boys in the grove" case, he noticed Ai's uncanny resemblance to Mary. Then, he finds out that the mysterious girl is the mother of Masumi Sera, Shukichi Haneda, and Shuichi Akai, and the wife of Tsutomu Akai, now somehow shrunken. On the other hand, Mary remains skeptical of Conan telling her daughter to be aware of him as he isn't the same boy they met 10 years ago.<br />
<br />
==== [[Kanenori Wakita]] ====<br />
In his [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|introductory case]], Conan noticed that he had a medical patch on his left eye, although Wakita claims it is only temporary. He chose not to see the messy left eye, along with Kogoro and Ran.<br />
<br />
In the [[Search for Maria-chan!]], while Conan is hiding at Agasa's due to the uproar or his appearance as Kudo Shinichi on a case, during his Kyoto Field Trip, he noticed that Wakita knocked on Agasa's door, and asked about all of the press stationed next door outside of the Kudo gate, while he claimed to be making a delivery to someone in the neighborhood.<br />
<br />
(He could have just asked the person that his delivery was for, but no. Let's ask the Kudos' [[Agasa Hiroshi|next door neighbor]]. Plus it is highly unlikely that [[Subaru]], the supposedly DEAD FBI agent, [[Akai]], who is residing in the [[Kudo Shinichi|Kudo]] house, which is the house to the supposedly dead teenage detective, would ever order for Delivery. Take-out, maybe, but not Delivery.)<br />
<br />
== People who know Conan's real identity ==<br />
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}<br />
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity. None of them have ever betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], [[Yusaku Kudo]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], [[Heiji Hattori]], and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] of the Black Organization also knows about Conan's secret. Later, in Episode 508 of the anime, [[Eisuke Hondou]] confirms Conan's identity as [[Shinichi Kudo]] straight from him. In manga chapters 812-814, [[Subaru Okiya]] ([[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise,) confirms that Conan is Shinichi. [[Masumi Sera]] also knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo before they even first met. It is also hinted that [[Mary]] knows about Conan's true identity, telling her daughter Masumi to be wary of him.<br />
<br />
In the 13th movie, the Black Organization member [[Irish]] discovers that Conan is Shinichi Kudo.<br />
<br />
The 3rd, 8th, 14th, 19th, and 23rd movies also demonstrate that [[Kaitou Kid]] knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. Though it was once unconfirmed if he knew in the manga, it was recently confirmed in the Fairy Lips case, where Kid thinks that there are "two high school detectives" on the scene, referring to Heiji, and Conan, the only other high school detective there. It is unknown how he came to figure this out.<br />
<br />
== People who know that Conan is behind the "Sleeping Kogoro" ==<br />
{{main|List of characters who know Conan is Sleeping Kogoro}}<br />
There is even a varied list of those who know that Conan is the puppeteer behind the "Sleeping Kogoro."<br />
<br />
== Gadgets ==<br />
{{main|Gadgets}}<br />
Professor Agasa has made many gadgets for Conan, including a tranquilizer wristwatch, voice-modulating bow tie, kick-enhancing shoes, tracking/binocular glasses, stretchable suspenders, and a solar-powered skateboard. Conan uses the first two regularly to create "Sleeping Kogoro", and the glasses and other gadgets to investigate cases or catch criminals. Agasa also created radio badges and watch flashlights Conan and the other Detective Boys.<br />
<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
Gosho Aoyama (and Shinichi, in the story) got the name 'Conan Edogawa' from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories, and Edogawa Rampo, the pen name of Japanese mystery fiction writer Hirai Tarō. Hirai Tarō himself got the pen name "Edogawa Rampo" from a transliteration of "Edgar Allan Poe." Pronouncing Poe's name in a Japanese accent sounds like 'Edogawa Rampo.'<br />
<br />
== Character inspiration ==<br />
Gosho said Conan's hairstyle was designed in about one minute. He smoothed [[Yaiba]]'s hair and added a tuft modeled after the apostrophe hairstyle of Kabu from [[Wikipedia:Sally_the_Witch|Sally the Witch]]. The tuft on the hair on the top of Conan's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Conan's clothes were modeled after [[Wikipedia:Shichi-Go-San|Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) clothing]]. Young Gosho wore a bow tie and shorts in his Shichi-Go-San photographs. Gosho tries to restrict Conan's gadgets to what Conan can wear, but he has run out of ideas lately. The use of glasses as a disguise was modeled after [[Wikipedia:Superman|Superman]]'s Clark Kent. Conan's speech habits were meant to be slightly rough like Joe from [[Wikipedia:Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Touch (manga)|Touch]].<ref>File 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet</ref><br />

== Trivia ==<br />
[[Image: EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]<br />
* Conan's bad singing came to light as a joke after the anime began airing because Conan's voice actress [[Minami Takayama]] is a well-known singer. In [[Volume 15]] of the manga, Takayama herself is kidnapped and Conan, who sounds similar to her, tries to take her place at a concert. However, despite having similar voices, they sound completely different when it comes to singing.<ref>[[Volume 15|Volume 15, Files 144-146: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref><br />
* He owns two cellphones, the one he uses as Conan and one that he uses as Shinichi. He is also shown using different kinds of cellphones throughout the series.<br />
* Conan often uses the expression "Ah-le-le?" when he is trying to point out a clue, something that is usually said by Japanese grade-schoolers. The expression was even [[The Sullied Masked Hero|said by Kogoro]] out of irritation at Conan (right before Conan tranquillized him). Conan's habit of acting juvenile to disguise his real abilities also [[Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun|draws the ire]] of the Detective Boys.<br />
* Conan/Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type as mentioned in episode 189.<br />
* In [[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Akako's Delivery Service|Akako's Delivery Service]], [[Saguru Hakuba]] acquires a strand of [[Kaitou Kid]]'s hair and runs a genetic scan on it, determining that Kid is a fifteen-to-seventeen-year-old male with a higher-than-average IQ. He then runs this information against a database of Tokyo teenagers and comes up with a list of possible Kaitou Kids, at the top of which was [[Kaito Kuroba]]'s name. However, it's interesting to wonder whether Shinichi, another sixteen-year-old Tokyo resident with a similar build and above-average intelligence, made Saguru's list, but the search included only teenagers with blood type B, and it has never actually been stated what Shinichi's is (although [[Kogoro Mouri]] mentions that Conan's blood type is rare<ref>Episode 189</ref>). Type B is not a common blood type,<ref>See population breakdown by country here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system#ABO_and_Rh_distribution_by_country</ref> so it is possible that this is Shinichi's type.<br />
* Conan/Shinichi's favourite drink is iced coffee as shown in episode 814, 919, etc. Shinichi's favourite drink is shown in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]] when Daisuke says that he isn't the only one who drinks iced coffee throughout the year. The lemon pie does not count as Shinichi's favourite during [[The Memories of First Love Case]] because the woman Asami Uchida, whose first love was Shinichi, told this to Ran and her speciality in the past was baking that same lemon pie that she finally perfected so Shinichi will tell her that the pie was delicious. Unless Gosho Aoyama said otherwise, the lemon pie may not be Shinichi's favourite and it was only brought up during that case alone.<br />
* Whenever dealing with a particularly difficult case, Shinichi/Conan juggles a soccer ball to think better. In scenes where he doesn't have one, he often holds his chin with his thumb and forefinger.<br />
* Conan/Shinichi doesn't know that ironically, due to all his secret-keeping from Ran, he's potentially locked himself out of learning about Ran's encounter(s) with the Black Organization, because she has no reason to tell 'Conan' about them. Shinichi/Conan has no idea that Ran has encountered Vermouth and saved Haibara from her, even 500+ chapters after it occurred. The fact that Haibara herself is invested in keeping Ran out of anything to do with the Black Organization only adds to this, as she deliberately lied to Conan/Shinichi about who saved her that night. Ran not knowing Conan's identity also prevents them from confiding in each other or pooling together the information they might have in other areas and thus can extend the time it takes for important realizations to come to light.<br />
* In file 1045, it is revealed that Conan and Yumi have each other's phone numbers.<br />
* In file 900, it is revealed that Conan and Miwako Sato have each other's phone numbers.<br />
* According to Gosho in Super Digest Book 90+ that from time to time, Conan wears a jumper with a "K" written on which stands for "Karl Helmutt", a Japanese clothing brand.<br />
* In episode 681, it's revealed Conan has Detective Chiba's phone number.<br />
* According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book he likes curry the most, he and his dad like Yukiko's paella the most.<br />
* According to [[Gosho Aoyama]], Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara are in no way related to each other.<ref>[https://conannews.org/fragerunde-mit-gosho-aoyama-day2023/49323/ ''Fragerunde mit Gosho Aoyama: DAY2023.''] ''ConanNews.org'' (in German). 16 February 2023.

== Description ==<br />
Kohji Haneda, a shogi player, went to the US to participate in a chess competition at the Juke Hotel, however the day before the match he was found murdered in his hotel room. According to a website with numerous photos of the crime scene, his room was a total mess which was chalked up to a struggle between Kohji and his assailant. The website reported that the cause of his death remains unclear, but Haibara recalls his name was on the APTX 4869 victims list. On the same day in a different hotel room Amanda Hughes, a wealthy person who has contacts with both the FBI and CIA, was found murdered and the cause of her death is also unclear.<br />
<br />
Amanda had been a fan of Kohji's and had been in contact with him in the past. She had visited his hotel room some time before the murder, her fingerprints were found on the door handle, sofa, tea cups, knife, and fork. After the murder there were tea cups, plates, and a hand mirror found smashed on the floor of Kohji's room. Several defensive wounds were found on Kohji's arms and his palm was bruised from gripping a pair of scissors very tightly. There were some bruises on his face as well. In Amanda's room, the sink in the bathroom was even left running. It is not known who was murdered first.<br />
<br />
On the day of the murders Amanda's bodyguard, who she called "Asaka", disappeared. Currently Asaka is the prime suspect in both murders. Neither relatives or acquaintances of Amanda know when Asaka was hired on as her bodyguard. It is currently unknown whether Asaka is a given name or a surname. If it were a given name then it would be likely that Asaka would be female, however if it were a surname then it would not be possible to determine the gender. At some point Asaka was seen holding a hand mirror, which leads Gaito Hotta to believe that Asaka is a woman. As a bodyguard, it is thought that Asaka is skilled at bringing down opponents.<br />
<br />
Rumi Wakasa has had a flashback of meeting Kohji. During this flashback, Kohji was in possession of a Bishop (Kaku) shogi piece and says a shogi proverb related to the piece. Rumi's flashback also includes Kohji's body after the murder. Currently, Rumi seems to be in possession of the Bishop shogi piece. She has carried the piece with her in her back pocket, as well as placing it face down on her desk near her laptop, showing its promoted side (Ryuma). She remembers Kohji has being a fool and, when Conan asked her what she was doing, she had difficulty to come back to her senses, which means this flashback really marked her.<br />
<br />
Kohji kept the Bishop shogi piece as a good luck charm, which was missing at the crime scene of the murder. It was thought by the police the murderer took it.<br />
<br />
Tsutomu Akai was either involved in the case or its aftermath. As a result, he made enemies with some really bad people (Black Organization) and sent a message to his family telling them to move to Japan for safety. Since then Tsutomu has not been seen, leading many to believe that he is dead. However, his body has never been found and his death is thus unconfirmed.<br />
<br />
Gin comments that this case is a job in which Rum screwed up, clarifying that Rum was present, or at least involved some way or another, and that things did not happen according to plan back then.<br />
<br />
=== Aftermath ===<br />
[[File:Kohji Hanedas body.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kuroda connects Rumi to the Kohji case.]]<br />
Mary Sera took her family to Japan as instructed by her husband's text. Mary also gave birth to Masumi around that time. Shuichi Akai then left his family to study abroad in the United States with the intention of obtaining a green card and joining the FBI to find out what happened to his father. Shukichi Akai eventually leaves the family as well, changing his family name to Haneda. He also claims to be a non-blood brother of Kohji and possesses his fan that has his motto.<br />
<br />
When Conan learns that the case involved APTX, he finds information about the case that had been uploaded to the internet. Even when it gets taken down the person who uploaded it tries to re-upload it. Conan thinks that it's almost if they are saying "Please help me solve this mystery!".<br />
<br />
Gaito Hotta had obtained information that states that Asaka had been seen holding a hand mirror to claim that Asaka was a woman. However it is unclear whether this is first or second-hand information. Mary thinks that this information was "boring", seemingly expecting to know more information about Asaka from the so-called "soul detective" Gaito.<br />
<br />
A woman whose name, Rumi Wakasa, bears similar spelling to the dying message of the Kohji case appears at Conan's school. When Hyoue Kuroda learns of this person's appearance on the news, he seems to make a connection between her and the Kohji case and implies that he might know her by saying "that's not like that person at all" when he was told she was going camping. She also keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the Bishop shogi piece inside her back pocket.<br />
<br />
Currently the list of people who know about the case are as follows: Conan, Haibara, Agasa, Shuichi, Masumi, Mary, Kogoro, Gin, Vodka, Bourbon, Vermouth, Kuroda, and Rumi. Shukichi seems to be aware of Kohji's death, but it is unclear what he knows, or what his connection to Kohji is, since he is called a 'non-biological brother'.<br />
<br />
== Dying message from Haneda ==<br />
After the murder there were tea cups, plates, and a hand mirror found smashed on the floor of Kohji's room. The mirror had writing on it that Haibara recognized as saying "PUT ON MASCARA", however it had been broken so that only "P T O N" remained. Kohji's palm was bruised from gripping a pair of scissors very tightly. The sink in Kohji's bathroom was even left running. It seems as if Kohji was attacked in the bathroom and turned the sink on, then ran water over the mirror to use the scissors to cut the mirror up, although it's unclear how he managed to do that during such circumstances. With the letters "P T O N" removed, the message remaining is "U MASCARA", which can be arranged to make "ASACA RUM". Though this is a way to decipher the dying message, it's unknown if this is the correct way to interpret the message, or that it was originally created by Kohji, or if the message was altered at all by someone. It is found out later that Kohji had left the dying message when he was suffering through "bone-melting" pain. <br />
<br />
Fans had further theorized that the Bishop shogi piece in Rumi's possession may had also been part of the dying message and that she removed it from the scene. This is theorized due to seeing a slight bruise in the palm of the hand where Kohji had held the scissors. However, we later find out that Kohji had actually given the shogi piece to Rumi.<br />
<br />
The Black Organization is aware of the dying message. Because of the "ASACA RUM" interpretation they seem to be chasing any references to ASACA that they find.<br />
<br />
Some time after, Subaru discussed the dying message with [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], and both arrived at the conclusion that the message might only form one word: "CARASUMA", which refers to [[Renya Karasuma]], a multi-millionaire who is supposed to have been dead for at least twenty years, and who might be the Black Organization's head.<br />

<br />
== Dying message from Amanda ==<br />
<spoiler>Kuroda after witnessing Amanda's dead body on the floor, notices a chess piece on the table with a wristwatch around it that has a kiss mark on the dial.<br />
<br />
Conan says that the key to the cipher is the kiss mark on the wristwatch's dial. He says this because he can see some lipstick on the circular groove around the dial, meaning that she put the kiss mark once but had to wipe it out and do it again since it didn't turn out as she expected. In other words, Amanda wanted to emphasize the shape of the lips or mouth on the dial.<br />
<br />
The lipstick mark is cut off at both ends so Conan thinks that she wanted them to cut characters on both ends of 'MOUTH' or "LIPS'. As doing 'LIPS' gives you 'IP' as in the internet, Conan believes 'MOUTH' is a better fit as doing this gives you 'OUT' and if you combine this with "WATCH' from the wristwatch then you get 'WATCH OUT'.<br />
<br />
Conan thinks that it could relate to someone's eyes as the knight's eyes were also smeared with lipstick.<br />
<br />
Kuroda remembers that he passed by a man who was wearing a monocle that looked like a snake's eye. <br />
<br />

{{clear}}</spoiler><br />
<br />
== APTX connection ==<br />
Even though the cause of death is unclear in both cases, only Kohji's name appeared on the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX 4869 victims list]]. However it is interesting to note that Kohji's name appeared two names below Shinichi's name on the list. Haibara thinks that the person who compiled the victims list may not have compiled it chronologically, but rather in some other fashion, like blood type.<br />
<br />
In [[Volume 104|Chess Tournament Murder Case]], it is fully revealed that both of them were killed by APTX4869.<br />
<br />
Since Haibara states that the drug she worked on was created from the burnt remains from the data left behind by her parents, she says that its possible that Kohji was made to ingest an early prototype made by her parents. Haibara hasn't mentioned whether Amanda Hughes' name is on the list or not.<br />
<br />
Rumi, who we now know was present seventeen years ago, is currently in possession of the APTX victims list.<br />
[[File:APTX 4869 victim list 2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Partial list of APTX 4869 victims.]]<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== Motive ==<br />
The motive for the murders is unknown. In Kohji Haneda's case, Haibara suggest it might have been because he was close to Amanda Hughes. If that's true, then that means that Amanda was the main target, possibly because of her connections to the FBI and the CIA.<br />
<br />
== Anime changes ==<br />
* Given that the Romanized spelling of Asaca and Rum in the dying message is important, it seems relevant to note that the Romanized spelling of "Kohji" was changed for the anime version to "Kouji".<!--Arguably varying versions of Romanization could explain the reason why the dying message of the case uses a C rather than a K since both make the same sound.--><br />
<br />
== Speculation ==<br />
=== Asaka's identity ===<br />
Conan suspects that Asaka is Rum, based on that the missing letters from the mirror spells out ASACA RUM. Conan also suspected that Mary is Asaka, by thinking that Asaka is a strong woman.<br />
<br />
=== The one putting the case online ===<br />
A mysterious individual, the uploader, is in possession of detailed crime scene photographs and case information. This includes pictures of Kohji's dying message hand mirror broken on the ground prior to Asaka removing a hand mirror from the scene. This unknown uploader posts this information online, seemingly asking for the case to be solved.<br />
<br />
Information about the case was online at the time Okiya and Conan solved the "The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters" case, but was removed by the beginning of the "Soul Detective Murder Case". The reason why the information was deleted and the identity of the one doing the takedowns (perhaps the uploader themselves or another force who wishes to scrub the essential details of Kohji's case from the internet) is still uncertain.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that current Police Superintendent [[Hyoue Kuroda]] has access to the information on the website and seems to see some sort of connection to Elementary teacher [[Rumi Wakasa]]. Some fans speculate that it is possible that Rumi is the one uploading the information to the site due to her name being a close letter scramble of the dying message ASAKA RUM and her method of approaching Conan.<br />

In the picture of Kohji's hand, there are several bruises on the fingers and one on the center of his palm. These are presumed to be from holding the scissors tightly. Kohji's method of holding the scissors is unclear, but the bruises are consistent with looping one's thumb and index finger through the two rings so the rings as close to the base of the fingers. If the blade is angled across the palm and the other three fingers folded over, it makes a defensive-like pose. This grip does not explain the bruise in the hollow of his palm. If a defensive grip was used, then the bruise must have been caused by an item secreted in Kohji's palm he was gripping along with the scissors, holding the scissors another way, or another force altogether. It may also be of concern that despite supposedly gripping the scissors tightly in life, after Kohji was killed and the body photographed, the scissors were elsewhere nearby<!-- still close to the mess--> and Kohji's hand opened.<br />

== Description ==<br />
Kohji Haneda, a shogi player, went to the US to participate in a chess competition at the Juke Hotel, however the day before the match he was found murdered in his hotel room. According to a website with numerous photos of the crime scene, his room was a total mess which was chalked up to a struggle between Kohji and his assailant. The website reported that the cause of his death remains unclear, but Haibara recalls his name was on the APTX 4869 victims list. On the same day in a different hotel room Amanda Hughes, a wealthy person who has contacts with both the FBI and CIA, was found murdered and the cause of her death is also unclear.<br />
<br />
Amanda had been a fan of Kohji's and had been in contact with him in the past. She had visited his hotel room some time before the murder, her fingerprints were found on the door handle, sofa, tea cups, knife, and fork. After the murder there were tea cups, plates, and a hand mirror found smashed on the floor of Kohji's room. Several defensive wounds were found on Kohji's arms and his palm was bruised from gripping a pair of scissors very tightly. There were some bruises on his face as well. In Amanda's room, the sink in the bathroom was even left running. It is not known who was murdered first.<br />
<br />
On the day of the murders Amanda's bodyguard, who she called "Asaka", disappeared. Currently Asaka is the prime suspect in both murders. Neither relatives or acquaintances of Amanda know when Asaka was hired on as her bodyguard. It is currently unknown whether Asaka is a given name or a surname. If it were a given name then it would be likely that Asaka would be female, however if it were a surname then it would not be possible to determine the gender. At some point Asaka was seen holding a hand mirror, which leads Gaito Hotta to believe that Asaka is a woman. As a bodyguard, it is thought that Asaka is skilled at bringing down opponents.<br />
<br />
Rumi Wakasa has had a flashback of meeting Kohji. During this flashback, Kohji was in possession of a Bishop (Kaku) shogi piece and says a shogi proverb related to the piece. Rumi's flashback also includes Kohji's body after the murder. Currently, Rumi seems to be in possession of the Bishop shogi piece. She has carried the piece with her in her back pocket, as well as placing it face down on her desk near her laptop, showing its promoted side (Ryuma). She remembers Kohji has being a fool and, when Conan asked her what she was doing, she had difficulty to come back to her senses, which means this flashback really marked her.<br />
<br />
Kohji kept the Bishop shogi piece as a good luck charm, which was missing at the crime scene of the murder. It was thought by the police the murderer took it.<br />
<br />
Tsutomu Akai was either involved in the case or its aftermath. As a result, he made enemies with some really bad people (Black Organization) and sent a message to his family telling them to move to Japan for safety. Since then Tsutomu has not been seen, leading many to believe that he is dead. However, his body has never been found and his death is thus unconfirmed.<br />
<br />
Gin comments that this case is a job in which Rum screwed up, clarifying that Rum was present, or at least involved some way or another, and that things did not happen according to plan back then.<br />
<br />
=== Aftermath ===<br />
[[File:Kohji Hanedas body.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kuroda connects Rumi to the Kohji case.]]<br />
Mary Sera took her family to Japan as instructed by her husband's text. Mary also gave birth to Masumi around that time. Shuichi Akai then left his family to study abroad in the United States with the intention of obtaining a green card and joining the FBI to find out what happened to his father. Shukichi Akai eventually leaves the family as well, changing his family name to Haneda. He also claims to be a non-blood brother of Kohji and possesses his fan that has his motto.<br />
<br />
When Conan learns that the case involved APTX, he finds information about the case that had been uploaded to the internet. Even when it gets taken down the person who uploaded it tries to re-upload it. Conan thinks that it's almost if they are saying "Please help me solve this mystery!".<br />
<br />
Gaito Hotta had obtained information that states that Asaka had been seen holding a hand mirror to claim that Asaka was a woman. However it is unclear whether this is first or second-hand information. Mary thinks that this information was "boring", seemingly expecting to know more information about Asaka from the so-called "soul detective" Gaito.<br />
<br />
A woman whose name, Rumi Wakasa, bears similar spelling to the dying message of the Kohji case appears at Conan's school. When Hyoue Kuroda learns of this person's appearance on the news, he seems to make a connection between her and the Kohji case and implies that he might know her by saying "that's not like that person at all" when he was told she was going camping. She also keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the Bishop shogi piece inside her back pocket.<br />
<br />
Currently the list of people who know about the case are as follows: Conan, Haibara, Agasa, Shuichi, Masumi, Mary, Kogoro, Gin, Vodka, Bourbon, Vermouth, Kuroda, and Rumi. Shukichi seems to be aware of Kohji's death, but it is unclear what he knows, or what his connection to Kohji is, since he is called a 'non-biological brother'.<br />
<br />
== Dying message from Haneda ==<br />
After the murder there were tea cups, plates, and a hand mirror found smashed on the floor of Kohji's room. The mirror had writing on it that Haibara recognized as saying "PUT ON MASCARA", however it had been broken so that only "P T O N" remained. Kohji's palm was bruised from gripping a pair of scissors very tightly. The sink in Kohji's bathroom was even left running. It seems as if Kohji was attacked in the bathroom and turned the sink on, then ran water over the mirror to use the scissors to cut the mirror up, although it's unclear how he managed to do that during such circumstances. With the letters "P T O N" removed, the message remaining is "U MASCARA", which can be arranged to make "ASACA RUM". Though this is a way to decipher the dying message, it's unknown if this is the correct way to interpret the message, or that it was originally created by Kohji, or if the message was altered at all by someone. In fact, Kohji left the dying message even if he is suffering "bone-melting" pain. <br />
<br />
It had been theorized that the Bishop shogi piece in Rumi's possession may had also been part of the dying message and that she removed it from the scene due to seeing a slight bruise in the palm of the hand where Kohji had held the scissors. However, we later find out the Kohji had actually given the shogi piece to Rumi.<br />
<br />
The Black Organization is aware of the dying message. Because of the "ASACA RUM" interpretation they seem to be chasing any references to ASACA that they find.<br />
<br />
Some time after, Subaru discussed the dying message with [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], and both arrived at the conclusion that the message might only form one word: "CARASUMA", which refers to [[Renya Karasuma]], a multi-millionaire who is supposed to have been dead for at least twenty years, and who might be the Black Organization's head.<br />

<br />
== Dying message from Amanda ==<br />
<spoiler>Kuroda after witnessing Amanda's dead body on the floor, notices a chess piece on the table with a wristwatch around it that has a kiss mark on the dial.<br />
<br />
Conan says that the key to the cipher is the kiss mark on the wristwatch's dial. He says this because he can see some lipstick on the circular groove around the dial, meaning that she put the kiss mark once but had to wipe it out and do it again since it didn't turn out as she expected. In other words, Amanda wanted to emphasize the shape of the lips or mouth on the dial.<br />
<br />
The lipstick mark is cut off at both ends so Conan thinks that she wanted them to cut characters on both ends of 'MOUTH' or "LIPS'. As doing 'LIPS' gives you 'IP' as in the internet, Conan believes 'MOUTH' is a better fit as doing this gives you 'OUT' and if you combine this with "WATCH' from the wristwatch then you get 'WATCH OUT'.<br />
<br />
Conan thinks that it could relate to someone's eyes as the knight's eyes were also smeared with lipstick.<br />
<br />
Kuroda remembers that he passed by a man who was wearing a monocle that looked like a snake's eye. <br />
<br />

{{clear}}</spoiler><br />
<br />
== APTX connection ==<br />
Even though the cause of death is unclear in both cases, only Kohji's name appeared on the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX 4869 victims list]]. However it is interesting to note that Kohji's name appeared two names below Shinichi's name on the list. Haibara thinks that the person who compiled the victims list may not have compiled it chronologically, but rather in some other fashion, like blood type.<br />
<br />
In [[Volume 104|Chess Tournament Murder Case]], it is fully revealed that both of them were killed by APTX4869.<br />
<br />
Since Haibara states that the drug she worked on was created from the burnt remains from the data left behind by her parents, she says that its possible that Kohji was made to ingest an early prototype made by her parents. Haibara hasn't mentioned whether Amanda Hughes' name is on the list or not.<br />
<br />
Rumi, who we now know was present seventeen years ago, is currently in possession of the APTX victims list.<br />
[[File:APTX 4869 victim list 2.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Partial list of APTX 4869 victims.]]<br />
{{clear}}<br />
<br />
== Motive ==<br />
The motive for the murders is unknown. In Kohji Haneda's case, Haibara suggest it might have been because he was close to Amanda Hughes. If that's true, then that means that Amanda was the main target, possibly because of her connections to the FBI and the CIA.<br />
<br />
== Anime changes ==<br />
* Given that the Romanized spelling of Asaca and Rum in the dying message is important, it seems relevant to note that the Romanized spelling of "Kohji" was changed for the anime version to "Kouji".<!--Arguably varying versions of Romanization could explain the reason why the dying message of the case uses a C rather than a K since both make the same sound.--><br />
<br />
== Speculation ==<br />
=== Asaka's identity ===<br />
Conan suspects that Asaka is Rum, based on that the missing letters from the mirror spells out ASACA RUM. Conan also suspected that Mary is Asaka, by thinking that Asaka is a strong woman.<br />
<br />
=== The one putting the case online ===<br />
A mysterious individual, the uploader, is in possession of detailed crime scene photographs and case information. This includes pictures of Kohji's dying message hand mirror broken on the ground prior to Asaka removing a hand mirror from the scene. This unknown uploader posts this information online, seemingly asking for the case to be solved.<br />
<br />
Information about the case was online at the time Okiya and Conan solved the "The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters" case, but was removed by the beginning of the "Soul Detective Murder Case". The reason why the information was deleted and the identity of the one doing the takedowns (perhaps the uploader themselves or another force who wishes to scrub the essential details of Kohji's case from the internet) is still uncertain.<br />
<br />
It should be noted that current Police Superintendent [[Hyoue Kuroda]] has access to the information on the website and seems to see some sort of connection to Elementary teacher [[Rumi Wakasa]]. Some fans speculate that it is possible that Rumi is the one uploading the information to the site due to her name being a close letter scramble of the dying message ASAKA RUM and her method of approaching Conan.<br />
<br />
=== Alternate interpretations of the mirror ===<br />
<br />
=== Kohji's palm bruise ===<br />
In the picture of Kohji's hand, there are several bruises on the fingers and one on the center of his palm. These are presumed to be from holding the scissors tightly. Kohji's method of holding the scissors is unclear, but the bruises are consistent with looping one's thumb and index finger through the two rings so the rings as close to the base of the fingers.

It may also be of concern that despite supposedly gripping the scissors tightly in life, after Kohji was killed and the body photographed, the scissors were elsewhere nearby<!-- still close to the mess--> and Kohji's hand opened.<br />

In the picture of Kohji's hand, there are several bruises on the fingers and one on the center of his palm. These are presumed to be from holding the scissors tightly. Kohji's method of holding the scissors is unclear, but the bruises are consistent with looping one's thumb and index finger through the two rings so the rings as close to the base of the fingers. If the blade is angled across the palm and the other three fingers folded over, it makes a defensive-like pose. This grip does not explain the bruise in the hollow of his palm. If a defensive grip was used, then the bruise must have been caused by an item secreted in Kohji's palm he was gripping along with the scissors, holding the scissors another way, or another force altogether. It may also be of concern that despite supposedly gripping the scissors tightly in life, after Kohji was killed and the body photographed, the scissors were elsewhere nearby<!-- still close to the mess--> and Kohji's hand opened.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]<br />
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Yukiko is a fairly tall and fair-skinned woman. She has bright-blue eyes long wavy light-brown hair that curls at the ends with shorter bangs that part to the left to frame her forehead. She is slender yet curvaceous and well-endowed in built, she is considered very beautiful and admired by most men. She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Eri Mouri. A woman who doesn't accept aging gracefully, she will commonly dressed in attire more commonly seen by women in their twenties.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
=== Intelligence ===<br />
While not nearly on the same level as her husband or son, Yukiko has commonly shown herself to be a very insightful and methodical person, able to notice details that most would miss. She is also likewise very knowledge about the distinct differences of various cultures, including how things are referred to and how their gestures work. A very composed and creative person, she excels in making up lies on the spot with well-thought out backstories, able to constantly adapt to situations to continue the deception and likewise remember her deceptions for later usage. Very persuasive, she as a talent for reading a person's nature and adapting her nature to make them more compliment.<br />
<br />
=== Disguise ===<br />
[[Image:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sharon Vineyard with Yukiko while under Toichi's tutelage]]<br />
Yukiko is an exceptional actress, having earned world-wide fame and various prestigious awards when only a teenager. Showing her talent since high school, Yukiko has an uncanny ability to perfectly adapt herself to whatever character she chooses. She can effortlessly change her mannerisms and speech-patterns, as well as accent and dialect, to suit the situation. Expanding upon this and learning from [[Toichi Kuroba]], she became a master of disguise. Much like her former friend, Vermouth, with only minimum preparation required, she can perfectly change her appearance or that of others to perfectly look like virtually anyone. Her performance is able to easily fool even close friends and family. Unlike Vermouth though her skill in disguise is limited vocally, as she is unable to mimic male voices. As such, she normally takes on female personas if not of non-existent people.<br />
<br />
=== Other Skills ===<br />
Yukiko is an accomplished driver, able to perform daring stunts behind the wheel. She is also a highly skilled cook.<br />

Ran then talks about how 20 years ago, there was a legendary beauty contest that made the school shudder. The two contestants were a girl with genius-level acting who already had her debut, the princess of Teitan, and a highly intelligent girl who was already recommended to go to Harvard at the age of 16, the queen of Teitan high".

After the case, both she and Eri ask Kogoro to find out who he voted for in the Miss Teitan contest. Kogoro says that he voted for Eri, leaving Yukiko saddened but Kogoro explains that he mistook the word "miss" for "mistake" so he voted for the person he thought was a klutz. He then goes on to say that he would've voted for Yukiko if he knew what it meant, making Yukiko happy but annoyed after Kogoro tries to change his mind after seeing Eri get angry.

Yukiko notices and tells Conan that Haibara stared at him 10 times today, which could only mean that he has something on his face or that she's in love with them. Conan doesn't believe so and asks if she was able to shake off the car that was following them, which Yukiko believes she did. Both of them are unsure of who could the people following them be, which leads Conan to speculate that it may be the Black Organization and that they were following Haibara or him. Yukiko though thinks that it could just be fans of her who just wanted to figure out her home's location and ask for an autograph, leaving Conan bemused. Due to the preview screening being delayed, Yukiko has to leave Conan and the kids at the studio as she has to catch her flight back to the US.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped [[Shuichi Akai]] go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />

[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />

However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />

<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped [[Shuichi Akai]] go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hyoue Kuroda'''|黒田 兵衛|Kuroda Hyōe}} is currently the Tokyo Police First Division Managing Officer, former Nagano Police First Division Chief, and a character within the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He was one of the candidates that was presented that could've been [[Rum]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was originally an officer from the National Police Agency.<ref>Volume 86, file 913, page 8</ref> Seventeen years ago<ref>Volume 104, file 3</ref> he became the victim of an accident<ref>[[Case from 17 years ago]]</ref>, which put him in a ten years long coma. That accident was what caused him to lose his right eye. His hair turned white due to the stress of the accident and he looked like a completely different person, and he says that he's missing a few memories. He was accused of murder but he was cleared due to the bellboy testimony<ref>Volume 104, file 6</ref> Detective Yui thinks that Kuroda has a prosthetic right eye as a result of the accident that put him in the coma.<ref>Volume 86, file 914, page 7</ref><br />
<br />
After having recovered, Kuroda was assigned to Nagano Prefectural Police as the Chief of the First Division, where he first encountered Conan. Some time after the [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|Kawanakajima murder case]], he was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]]. He has heard rumors about Conan being 'the brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and seems to have trust in him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Kuroda is a very intimidating man, with the wound around his right eye being especially unnerving. [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and even [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] have been scared by his demeanor and his face. His no nonsense approach to cases, coupled with his enigmatic persona keep those he works closely with on their toes. Unlike other policemen like [[Jugo Yokomizo]], he is willing to listen to others than the police's thoughts on a case, as seen when he tells Kogoro that he is welcome to come with his own thoughts.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Kawanakajima Murder Case|913]]-[[Volume 87#Kawanakajima Murder Case|917]], Anime: [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|810-812]]) ===<br />
This case marks Kuroda's first appearance. He came to the crime scene right after Shigeru Takeda's head was found in the river. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] got surprised as he was a well-built and old one-eyed man, which partially fits Haibara's description of [[Rum]]. He hinted knowing that Conan was the brain behind the Sleeping Kogoro, which was a rumor he heard from the National Police Agency. Although he may also have heard it from [[Kansuke Yamato]], [[Yui Uehara]], and [[Taka'aki Morofushi]] of the Nagano Police, since he was stationed in the Nagano Prefecture at the time.<br />
<br />
He was shown to be a scary person but in the end he turned out to be on Kansuke Yamato and Taka'aki Morofushi's side, helping them to catch the real killer in the case. Yui Uehara said that he had been in a coma for ten years after an accident and had pitch black hair before that. Kansuke jokely says that with a face like that he looked like a boss of some organization.<br />

Conan and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] were discussing about Kuroda. Ai said that they shouldn't worry because he didn't make any suspicious moves and he was in Nagano, far from the Black Organization. However, at the end of the case it was found out that he had moved to the Tokyo police department replacing Kiyonaga Matsumoto who presumably got promoted. A bit earlier in the case Takagi spoke with him (referring to him as the superintendent), where he gave orders to Megure and Takagi that they should do what Conan tells them to do. When Takagi mentions that he was surprised to learn that Conan knew their new superintendent, he arrives saying that he was confident that Conan could help with the case. He asked Conan to take care of him. Haibara got scared when Kuroda leaned in closer.<br />

Haibara said to Conan that she hadn't felt the Black Organization Aura from Kuroda. She had only gripped his shoulder because his face and expression were really scary. In fact, she implied Kuroda couldn't be Rum, as he saw her and should have noticed she resembles [[Shiho Miyano]]. If this had happened, things would have gone out of control and Rum would've broken into [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house and this didn't happen.<br />

Shiratori brings Kuroda the file on the robber case that occurred at the elementary school at the time Rumi began working there. Shiratori also informs him that the Detective Boys are going camping with Rumi soon and gives him a pamphlet for the camp grounds. Kuroda goes to the camp grounds and spies on Conan's group through the opening of his tent. The tent next to his catches fire and he is forced to reveal himself. He catches Rumi spaced out staring in his direction and asks her if they should call the police. As Yuminaga's team investigates, Rumi accuses Kuroda of spying on someone.<br />
<br />
Both to Shiratori and to Yuminaga, Kuroda calls Conan: "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", perpetuating the rumor further.<br />
<br />
=== Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941]]) ===<br />
After the case is solved, Kuroda, along with Wakita, is seen reading something on his phone, that mentions [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s involvement in the case.<br />

<br />

<br />
=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1030]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1004]]) ===<br />

He later encounter with [[Muga Iori|Iori]], calling him Sakakibara, a codename he had when undercover as a Public Security Bureau officer in the past.

== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== Zero the Enforcer (Movie: [[Zero the Enforcer|22]]) ===<br />
Kuroda plays a minor role in this movie, being present at all the police meetings and making a few executive decisons. He is shown making a call to Rei Furuya (Bourbon) however it is unclear whether what he says to Furuya at the end of the call. He is shown saying what appears to be a two syllable word, and one can assume that this could either be "Zero" or "Bourbon" given the context.<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
=== One-eyed Flashback (Movie: [[One-eyed Flashback|28]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Plot Exposition ==<br />
<br />
=== Hints Hyoue Kuroda was not be Rum ===<br />
*He met Ai Haibara, who said he might have recognized her as Sherry and taken action against her, though Conan seemed skeptical of the idea and said they should still be careful.<br />
*He knows Bourbon works for the NPA, but has taken no action against him.<br />
*With his beard, he may have a hard time presenting himself as the feminine man.<br />
*Hyoue's current position in the Police force is a Managing Officer of the first division. The police detectives and inspectors of his division would definitely contacting with him for most of the time so if he were to left somewhere unnoticed, it would bring trouble and raise suspicions to himself. His huge body stature would definitely stand out in public, whether in disguise or not, if he was stalking Kogoro's movement.<br />
*He is aware of Conan being the real brains and actual "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom". Gin, however, is still suspicious of only Kogoro himself, not Conan.<br />
*He might also be a NOC, with the codename RUM.<br />
<br />
=== Hints Hyoue Kuroda might be Bourbon's PSB handler ===<br />
*He talks to Bourbon on the phone as a superior.<br />
*He is aware of the Black Organization unlike most of the police. He is aware of the "ASACA RUM" code explaining his suspicion on Wakasa Rumi, and he is shown to be aware of Kudo Shinichi's connection with the Black Organization.<br />
*He is aware of both Bourbon's code name and NPA connection. If he was with the Black Organization, he would have taken action against the 'traitor' and if he was with the police knowing Bourbon's criminal connection but not knowing he is a NOC, he would have been investigating the 'criminal cop'.<br />
*In file 1030, he probably watched the crime scene video recorded by Kogoro offscreen and noticed Bourbon in it. In addition, he is also aware of Hiromitsu's connection with Bourbon as a fellow officer so he contacted Taka'aki, who was aware of this and presumably ordered him not to strike up a conversation with Bourbon since it would blow his cover as an undercover officer.<br />
<br />
== Relationship analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
<br />
=== Nagano and Tokyo Metropolitan Police detectives ===<br />
They have respect for him and follow his orders.<br />
<br />
=== Conan Edogawa ===<br />
Conan is suspicious of Kuroda at first but seem to trust him after Kuroda told him the case seventeen years ago. Kuroda on the other hand seems to have trust in Conan's abilities, even goes as far as to order the police to follow Conan's instructions. He calls him the 'Brains behind the Sleeping Kogoro'. When Kuroda becomes the new Police Superintendent in Tokyo, he greets Conan with 'Yoroshikuna' (Take care of me) which could mean that he's hoping for Conan's help in the future.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa ===<br />
Hyoue Kuroda seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Rei Furuya ===<br />
Kuroda seems to be in contact with Amuro, and is also aware of the latter involvement with the Black Organization; calling him by his codename "Bourbon".<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hyoue Kuroda'''|黒田 兵衛|Kuroda Hyōe}} is currently the Tokyo Police First Division Managing Officer, former Nagano Police First Division Chief, and a character within the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He was one of the candidates that was presented that could've been [[Rum]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was originally an officer from the National Police Agency.<ref>Volume 86, file 913, page 8</ref> Seventeen years ago<ref>Volume 104, file 3</ref> he became the victim of an accident<ref>[[Case from 17 years ago]]</ref>, which put him in a ten years long coma. That accident was what caused him to lose his right eye. His hair turned white due to the stress of the accident and he looked like a completely different person, and he says that he's missing a few memories. He was accused of murder but he was cleared due to the bellboy testimony<ref>Volume 104, file 6</ref> Detective Yui thinks that Kuroda has a prosthetic right eye as a result of the accident that put him in the coma.<ref>Volume 86, file 914, page 7</ref><br />
<br />
After having recovered, Kuroda was assigned to Nagano Prefectural Police as the Chief of the First Division, where he first encountered Conan. Some time after the [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|Kawanakajima murder case]], he was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]]. He has heard rumors about Conan being 'the brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and seems to have trust in him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Kuroda is a very intimidating man, with the wound around his right eye being especially unnerving. [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and even [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] have been scared by his demeanor and his face. His no nonsense approach to cases, coupled with his enigmatic persona keep those he works closely with on their toes. Unlike other policemen like [[Jugo Yokomizo]], he is willing to listen to others than the police's thoughts on a case, as seen when he tells Kogoro that he is welcome to come with his own thoughts.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Kawanakajima Murder Case|913]]-[[Volume 87#Kawanakajima Murder Case|917]], Anime: [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|810-812]]) ===<br />
This case marks Kuroda's first appearance. He came to the crime scene right after Shigeru Takeda's head was found in the river. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] got surprised as he was a well-built and old one-eyed man, which partially fits Haibara's description of [[Rum]]. He hinted knowing that Conan was the brain behind the Sleeping Kogoro, which was a rumor he heard from the National Police Agency. Although he may also have heard it from [[Kansuke Yamato]], [[Yui Uehara]], and [[Taka'aki Morofushi]] of the Nagano Police, since he was stationed in the Nagano Prefecture at the time.<br />
<br />
He was shown to be a scary person but in the end he turned out to be on Kansuke Yamato and Taka'aki Morofushi's side, helping them to catch the real killer in the case. Yui Uehara said that he had been in a coma for ten years after an accident and had pitch black hair before that. Kansuke jokely says that with a face like that he looked like a boss of some organization.<br />
<br />
=== A Blog That Causes a Death (Manga: [[Volume 87#A Blog That Causes a Death|918-920]], Anime: [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case|814-815]]) ===<br />
Conan and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] were discussing about Kuroda. Ai said that they shouldn't worry because he didn't make any suspicious moves and he was in Nagano, far from the Black Organization. However, at the end of the case it was found out that he had moved to the Tokyo police department replacing Kiyonaga Matsumoto who presumably got promoted. A bit earlier in the case Takagi spoke with him (referring to him as the superintendent), where he gave orders to Megure and Takagi that they should do what Conan tells them to do. When Takagi mentions that he was surprised to learn that Conan knew their new superintendent, he arrives saying that he was confident that Conan could help with the case. He asked Conan to take care of him. Haibara got scared when Kuroda leaned in closer.<br />
<br />
=== A Secret of the Big Couple (Manga: [[Volume 87#A Secret of the Big Couple|925]]-[[Volume 88#A Secret of the Big Couple|927]], Anime: [[The Suspects Are a Passionate Couple|822-823]]) ===<br />
Haibara said to Conan that she hadn't felt the Black Organization Aura from Kuroda. She had only gripped his shoulder because his face and expression were really scary. In fact, she implied Kuroda couldn't be Rum, as he saw her and should have noticed she resembles [[Shiho Miyano]]. If this had happened, things would have gone out of control and Rum would've broken into [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house and this didn't happen.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case|980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br />

Kuroda is sitting at his desk looking at the details of the [[case from 17 years ago]]. Shiratori brings Kuroda the file on the robber case that occurred at the elementary school at the time Rumi began working there. Shiratori also informs him that the Detective Boys are going camping with Rumi soon and gives him a pamphlet for the camp grounds. Kuroda goes to the camp grounds and spies on Conan's group through the opening of his tent. The tent next to his catches fire and he is forced to reveal himself. He catches Rumi spaced out staring in his direction and asks her if they should call the police. As Yuminaga's team investigates, Rumi accuses Kuroda of spying on someone.<br />
<br />
Both to Shiratori and to Yuminaga, Kuroda calls Conan: "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", perpetuating the rumor further.<br />
<br />
=== Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941]]) ===<br />
After the case is solved, Kuroda, along with Wakita, is seen reading something on his phone, that mentions [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s involvement in the case.<br />
<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br />
He is seen reading the article where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi wrote he was nothing but an illusion, with a smirk on his face.<br />
<br />
=== Policewomen Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Policewomen Serial Murder Case|1014-1017]], Anime: [[The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|972-974]]) ===<br />
Kuroda appears at the crime scene of the murder of the second policewoman from the traffic division. He tells Chiba and Shiratori that the case concerns a serial murder of policewomen.<br />
<br />
At the end of the case, Kuroda is seen talking with Amuro on the phone, who questions him about his meeting with the Kudos, calling him by his codename "Bourbon".<br />
<br />
=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1030]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1004]]) ===<br />
Kuroda calls Kansuke's phone and want to talk to Morofushi privately.<br />
<br />
=== Detective Play Director Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Detective Play Director Murder Case|1088-1090]], Anime: [[Momiji Ooka's Sweet Trap|1135-1136]]) ===<br />
Kuroda is with [[Momiji Ooka|Momiji]] as the advisor for a detective show. He later encounter with [[Muga Iori|Iori]], calling him Sakakibara, a codename he had when undercover as a Public Security Bureau officer in the past. Iori mentions he met Amuro at Café Poirot and thinks that he is restrained by his past bonds.<br />
<br />
=== Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Murder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== Zero the Enforcer (Movie: [[Zero the Enforcer|22]]) ===<br />
Kuroda plays a minor role in this movie, being present at all the police meetings and making a few executive decisons. He is shown making a call to Rei Furuya (Bourbon) however it is unclear whether what he says to Furuya at the end of the call. He is shown saying what appears to be a two syllable word, and one can assume that this could either be "Zero" or "Bourbon" given the context.<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
=== One-eyed Flashback (Movie: [[One-eyed Flashback|28]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Plot Exposition ==<br />
<br />
=== Hints Hyoue Kuroda was not be Rum ===<br />
*He met Ai Haibara, who said he might have recognized her as Sherry and taken action against her, though Conan seemed skeptical of the idea and said they should still be careful.<br />
*He knows Bourbon works for the NPA, but has taken no action against him.<br />
*With his beard, he may have a hard time presenting himself as the feminine man.<br />
*Hyoue's current position in the Police force is a Managing Officer of the first division. The police detectives and inspectors of his division would definitely contacting with him for most of the time so if he were to left somewhere unnoticed, it would bring trouble and raise suspicions to himself. His huge body stature would definitely stand out in public, whether in disguise or not, if he was stalking Kogoro's movement.<br />
*He is aware of Conan being the real brains and actual "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom". Gin, however, is still suspicious of only Kogoro himself, not Conan.<br />
*He might also be a NOC, with the codename RUM.<br />
<br />
== Hints Hyoue Kuroda might be Bourbon's PSB handler ==<br />
*He talks to Bourbon on the phone as a superior.<br />
*He is aware of the Black Organization unlike most of the police. He is aware of the "ASACA RUM" code explaining his suspicion on Wakasa Rumi, and he is shown to be aware of Kudo Shinichi's connection with the Black Organization.<br />
*He is aware of both Bourbon's code name and NPA connection. If he was with the Black Organization, he would have taken action against the 'traitor' and if he was with the police knowing Bourbon's criminal connection but not knowing he is a NOC, he would have been investigating the 'criminal cop'.<br />
*In file 1030, he probably watched the crime scene video recorded by Kogoro offscreen and noticed Bourbon in it. In addition, he is also aware about Hiromitsu's connection with Bourbon as fellow officers so he contacted Taka'aki, who was aware about this and presumably ordered him not to strike a conversation with Bourbon since it would blow his cover as undercover officer.<br />
<br />
== Relationship analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
<br />
=== Nagano and Tokyo Metropolitan Police detectives ===<br />
They have respect for him and follow his orders.<br />
<br />
=== Conan Edogawa ===<br />
Conan is suspicious of Kuroda at first but seem to trust him after Kuroda told him the case seventeen years ago. Kuroda on the other hand seems to have trust in Conan's abilities, even goes as far as to order the police to follow Conan's instructions. He calls him the 'Brains behind the Sleeping Kogoro'. When Kuroda becomes the new Police Superintendent in Tokyo, he greets Conan with 'Yoroshikuna' (Take care of me) which could mean that he's hoping for Conan's help in the future.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa ===<br />
Hyoue Kuroda seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Rei Furuya ===<br />
Kuroda seems to be in contact with Amuro, and is also aware of the latter involvement with the Black Organization; calling him by his codename "Bourbon".<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
The name comes from {{nihongo|[[Wikipedia: Kuroda Yoshitaka|Kuroda Kanbei]]|黒田 官兵衛|Kuroda Kanbee<!-- PLEASE DON'T CHANGE TO Kanbē -->|a.k.a. Kuroda Yoshitaka ({{lang|ja|黒田 孝高}})}}, Japanese daimyo of the late Sengoku through early Edo periods.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Kawanakajima Murder Case|913]]-[[Volume 87#Kawanakajima Murder Case|917]], Anime: [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|810-812]]) ===<br />
This case marks Kuroda's first appearance. He came to the crime scene right after Shigeru Takeda's head was found in the river. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] got surprised as he was a well-built and old one-eyed man, which partially fits Haibara's description of [[Rum]]. He hinted knowing that Conan was the brain behind the Sleeping Kogoro, which was a rumor he heard from the National Police Agency. Although he may also have heard it from [[Kansuke Yamato]], [[Yui Uehara]], and [[Taka'aki Morofushi]] of the Nagano Police, since he was stationed in the Nagano Prefecture at the time.<br />
<br />
He was shown to be a scary person but in the end he turned out to be on Kansuke Yamato and Taka'aki Morofushi's side, helping them to catch the real killer in the case. Yui Uehara said that he had been in a coma for ten years after an accident and had pitch black hair before that. Kansuke jokely says that with a face like that he looked like a boss of some organization.<br />

A bit earlier in the case Takagi spoke with him (referring to him as the superintendent), where he gave orders to Megure and Takagi that they should do what Conan tells them to do. When Takagi mentions that he was surprised to learn that Conan knew their new superintendent, he arrives saying that he was confident that Conan could help with the case.

Haibara said to Conan that she hadn't felt the Black Organization Aura from Kuroda. She had only gripped his shoulder because his face and expression were really scary.

Kuroda goes to the camp grounds and spies on Conan's group through the opening of his tent. The tent next to his catches fire and he is forced to reveal himself. He catches Rumi spaced out staring in his direction and asks her if they should call the police. As Yuminaga's team investigates, Rumi accuses Kuroda of spying on someone.<br />

He is shown making a call to Rei Furuya (Bourbon) however it is unclear whether what he says to Furuya at the end of the call. He is shown saying what appears to be a two syllable word, and one can assume that this could either be "Zero" or "Bourbon" given the context.<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
=== One-eyed Flashback (Movie: [[One-eyed Flashback|28]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Plot Exposition ==<br />
<br />
== Hints Hyoue Kuroda was not be Rum ==<br />
*He met Ai Haibara, who said he might have recognized her as Sherry and taken action against her, though Conan seemed skeptical of the idea and said they should still be careful.<br />
*He knows Bourbon works for the NPA, but has taken no action against him.<br />
*With his beard, he may have a hard time presenting himself as the feminine man.<br />
*Hyoue's current position in the Police force is a Managing Officer of the first division. The police detectives and inspectors of his division would definitely contacting with him for most of the time so if he were to left somewhere unnoticed, it would bring trouble and raise suspicions to himself. His huge body stature would definitely stand out in public, whether in disguise or not, if he was stalking Kogoro's movement.<br />
*He is aware of Conan being the real brains and actual "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom". Gin, however, is still suspicious of only Kogoro himself, not Conan.<br />
*He might also be a NOC, with the codename RUM.<br />
<br />
== Hints Hyoue Kuroda might be Bourbon's PSB handler ==<br />
*He talks to Bourbon on the phone as a superior.<br />
*He is aware of the Black Organization unlike most of the police. He is aware of the "ASACA RUM" code explaining his suspicion on Wakasa Rumi, and he is shown to be aware of Kudo Shinichi's connection with the Black Organization.<br />
*He is aware of both Bourbon's code name and NPA connection. If he was with the Black Organization, he would have taken action against the 'traitor' and if he was with the police knowing Bourbon's criminal connection but not knowing he is a NOC, he would have been investigating the 'criminal cop'.<br />
*In file 1030, he probably watched the crime scene video recorded by Kogoro offscreen and noticed Bourbon in it. In addition, he is also aware about Hiromitsu's connection with Bourbon as fellow officers so he contacted Taka'aki, who was aware about this and presumably ordered him not to strike a conversation with Bourbon since it would blow his cover as undercover officer.<br />
<br />
== Relationship analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
<br />
=== Nagano and Tokyo Metropolitan Police detectives ===<br />
They have respect for him and follow his orders.<br />
<br />
=== Conan Edogawa ===<br />
Conan is suspicious of Kuroda at first but seem to trust him after Kuroda told him the case seventeen years ago. Kuroda on the other hand seems to have trust in Conan's abilities, even goes as far as to order the police to follow Conan's instructions. He calls him the 'Brains behind the Sleeping Kogoro'. When Kuroda becomes the new Police Superintendent in Tokyo, he greets Conan with 'Yoroshikuna' (Take care of me) which could mean that he's hoping for Conan's help in the future.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa ===<br />
Hyoue Kuroda seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Rei Furuya ===<br />
Kuroda seems to be in contact with Amuro, and is also aware of the latter involvement with the Black Organization; calling him by his codename "Bourbon".<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
The name comes from {{nihongo|[[Wikipedia: Kuroda Yoshitaka|Kuroda Kanbei]]|黒田 官兵衛|Kuroda Kanbee<!-- PLEASE DON'T CHANGE TO Kanbē -->|a.k.a. Kuroda Yoshitaka ({{lang|ja|黒田 孝高}})}}, Japanese daimyo of the late Sengoku through early Edo periods.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hyoue Kuroda'''|黒田 兵衛|Kuroda Hyōe}} is currently the Tokyo Police First Division Managing Officer, former Nagano Police First Division Chief, and a character within the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He was one of the candidates that was presented that could've been [[Rum]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was originally an officer from the National Police Agency.<ref>Volume 86, file 913, page 8</ref> Seventeen years ago<ref>Volume 104, file 3</ref> he became the victim of an accident<ref>[[Case from 17 years ago]]</ref>, which put him in a ten years long coma. That accident was what caused him to lose his right eye. His hair turned white due to the stress of the accident and he looked like a completely different person, and he says that he's missing a few memories. He was accused of murder but he was cleared due to the bellboy testimony<ref>Volume 104, file 6</ref> Detective Yui thinks that Kuroda has a prosthetic right eye as a result of the accident that put him in the coma.<ref>Volume 86, file 914, page 7</ref><br />
<br />
After having recovered, Kuroda was assigned to Nagano Prefectural Police as the Chief of the First Division, where he first encountered Conan. Some time after the [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|Kawanakajima murder case]], he was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]]. He has heard rumors about Conan being 'the brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and seems to have trust in him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Kuroda is a very intimidating man, with the wound around his right eye being especially unnerving. [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and even [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] have been scared by his demeanor and his face. His no nonsense approach to cases, coupled with his enigmatic persona keep those he works closely with on their toes. Unlike other policemen like [[Jugo Yokomizo]], he is willing to listen to others than the police's thoughts on a case, as seen when he tells Kogoro that he is welcome to come with his own thoughts.<br />

=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
=== One-eyed Flashback (Movie: [[One-eyed Flashback|28]]) ===<br />
<br />
=== Plot Expositio n===<br />
<br />
== Hints Hyoue Kuroda was not be Rum ==<br />
*He met Ai Haibara, who said he might have recognized her as Sherry and taken action against her, though Conan seemed skeptical of the idea and said they should still be careful.<br />
*He knows Bourbon works for the NPA, but has taken no action against him.<br />
*With his beard, he may have a hard time presenting himself as the feminine man.<br />
*Hyoue's current position in the Police force is a Managing Officer of the first division. The police detectives and inspectors of his division would definitely contacting with him for most of the time so if he were to left somewhere unnoticed, it would bring trouble and raise suspicions to himself. His huge body stature would definitely stand out in public, whether in disguise or not, if he was stalking Kogoro's movement.<br />
*He is aware of Conan being the real brains and actual "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom". Gin, however, is still suspicious of only Kogoro himself, not Conan.<br />
*He might also be a NOC, with the codename RUM.<br />
<br />
== Hints Hyoue Kuroda might be Bourbon's PSB handler ==<br />
*He talks to Bourbon on the phone as a superior.<br />
*He is aware of the Black Organization unlike most of the police. He is aware of the "ASACA RUM" code explaining his suspicion on Wakasa Rumi, and he is shown to be aware of Kudo Shinichi's connection with the Black Organization.<br />
*He is aware of both Bourbon's code name and NPA connection. If he was with the Black Organization, he would have taken action against the 'traitor' and if he was with the police knowing Bourbon's criminal connection but not knowing he is a NOC, he would have been investigating the 'criminal cop'.<br />
*In file 1030, he probably watched the crime scene video recorded by Kogoro offscreen and noticed Bourbon in it. In addition, he is also aware about Hiromitsu's connection with Bourbon as fellow officers so he contacted Taka'aki, who was aware about this and presumably ordered him not to strike a conversation with Bourbon since it would blow his cover as undercover officer.<br />
<br />
== Relationship analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
<br />
=== Nagano and Tokyo Metropolitan Police detectives ===<br />
They have respect for him and follow his orders.<br />
<br />
=== Conan Edogawa ===<br />
Conan is suspicious of Kuroda at first but seem to trust him after Kuroda told him the case seventeen years ago. Kuroda on the other hand seems to have trust in Conan's abilities, even goes as far as to order the police to follow Conan's instructions. He calls him the 'Brains behind the Sleeping Kogoro'. When Kuroda becomes the new Police Superintendent in Tokyo, he greets Conan with 'Yoroshikuna' (Take care of me) which could mean that he's hoping for Conan's help in the future.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa ===<br />
Hyoue Kuroda seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Rei Furuya ===<br />
Kuroda seems to be in contact with Amuro, and is also aware of the latter involvement with the Black Organization; calling him by his codename "Bourbon".<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
The name comes from {{nihongo|[[Wikipedia: Kuroda Yoshitaka|Kuroda Kanbei]]|黒田 官兵衛|Kuroda Kanbee<!-- PLEASE DON'T CHANGE TO Kanbē -->|a.k.a. Kuroda Yoshitaka ({{lang|ja|黒田 孝高}})}}, Japanese daimyo of the late Sengoku through early Edo periods.<br />

Due to an increase in the number of transfer students to [[Teitan Elementary School]] over the past year, they have hired new teachers. She is the new deputy homeroom teacher for class 1-B.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of them, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face, where she rendered three assailants unconscious with a broom in what could have been seconds.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
=== Martial arts ===<br />
While well-hidden, she is a skilled fighter, much stronger than [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]. So coordinated and precise, she can seamlessly create the illusion that her taking down foes is a mixture of clumsiness and pure luck. It is still unknown what style she uses, but she has shown proficiency in [[Wikipedia:Jōdō|Jōdō]] and elbow strikes.<br />
<br />
=== Keen observation and deduction skills ===<br />
She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] to solve a case. She may also be aware of Conan's peculiar use of gadgets as she has witnessed him tranquilizing [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], and using the voice changer bow tie to perform a sleeping deduction show. Conan mentioned using his tranquilizer watch to her on her first appearance.<br />
<br />
=== Painting ===<br />
She is shown to be able to paint a life-sized tiger in a realistic style in one afternoon, and is able to easily fix a smudged painting.<br />
<br />
=== Firearms ===<br />
She is shown to be a capable sniper and counter-sniper, tricking assailants into shooting at a decoy to reveal their positions, before successfully returning fire.<br />

After they finish, Rumi treats them to dinner. But when they hear loud sounds from the neighbor, they goes over to check it out and finds a dead body and an unconscious man. Later back in Rumi's apartment, Conan finds a receipt that may prove that she knew the case would happen before hand and invited them there on purpose. Later Rumi incapacitates the culprit under the guise of falling over. The news crews outside happen to take a picture and Ayumi gives them Rumi's name.

When they approach a group cooking curry over a fire nearby, one of them mentions that he has an injured eye and nearly had to get a prosthetic eye. Rumi clenches up, and Conan notices her gripping something in her pocket. Later one of the other campers is burned alive inside his own tent. Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or because she cannot see. When Kuroda seems to know the order that everyone introduced themselves in, despite originally claiming to have had earplugs in while sleeping. Rumi accuses him of spying on someone. Rumi has the Detective Boys build an acorn balance toy, which leads to the solution of the case. After Conan and Kuroda uncover the culprit, the culprit uses Ayumi as a hostage, Rumi manages to distract him long enough for Kuroda and Yuminaga to arrest him. Kuroda showed interest in the intimidating words that Rumi used to distract him. On the other hand, Conan becomes more suspicious of Rumi, and notices a strange object in her back pocket that has a shape similar to that of a Shogi piece.<br />

At the end of the case, news of Shinichi being one of the detectives that had solved the case spread to the internet. Both Kuroda and Wakita were shown seeing the information on their phones. However, Rumi was shown sitting in the dark looking at the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, with a smirk on her face.

Rumi and Kobayashi take the Detective Boys out to collect edible plants. As they do so, Rumi detects the scent of blood blown by the wind and immediately thinks about Kohji's death. At the mention of good luck charms, Rumi remembers back to when Kohji said, "With the watchtower bishop, you can be sure of making a good move", while holding up a shogi bishop. Then he says, "So they're going to kill me despite that?" She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a "foolish person", while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover. Conan notices her doing this and appears angry at her for it (or cognizant why she does not feel she needs it) as Rumi's face is in shadow.<br />

Later, they receive a call from the [[Detective Boys Badge]], knowing that Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Kobayashi, and Amuro gets trapped inside the farmhouse's cellar as the farm's owner brother uses Ayumi as a hostage and calling them for the police. However, they are unable to contact police by their phone. Also, Rumi notices the shogi piece which has been kept on her back pocket is missing and finds out it has been picked up by Amuro according to Genta. After they are rescued from the cellar, Rumi uses the badge as a bait to lure Amuro back into the cellar and knocks him out in order to retrieve the shogi piece.

When one of them mentions that [[Akemi Miyano]] also attended the school before, he mistakes Haibara for [[Shiho Miyano]], Akemi's younger sister who he'd seen before. As Conan and Haibara are whispering about Akemi, Rumi suspects that Haibara is Sherry in a shrunken state, and that she betrayed the [[Black Organization]] following the death of Akemi.

When they encounter the criminal gang involved in the case, Subaru calls for Rumi to take the Detective Boys to a safe place while he uses Jeet Kune Do to fend them off, causing Rumi to have flashbacks of [[Tsutomu Akai]] seventeen years ago after hearing his words. Rumi locks the Detective Boys in a safe place, bending the doorknob to make it unusable, so she can secretly defeat their pursuers.

Yusaku further theorizes that she would then slip her way into Teitan Elementary School so that she could approach Conan. After the case is solved Rum is seen wondering why Rumi would remain at the school and it shows her looking at Haibara while this is happening.<br />
<br />

Then, Mitsuhiko remembered the burning tent case and the reference to the counting system. A flashback of Haibara and Rumi's leg was shown.<br />
<br />
=== The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3 (Anime: [[The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3|1087]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Plot Exposition ==<br />
=== Hints that Rumi Wakasa was not Rum ===<br />
*The descriptions of Rum were all of a man, but she is a woman.<br />
*Her name "Wakasa Rumi" seems too obvious.<br />
*Like Kuroda, she perhaps should have recognized Haibara as Sherry and acted against her. However, no action is taken against Haibara despite seeing her five days a week at school.<br />
*Despite the activation of her Black Organization sense, Haibara says she likes Wakasa.<br />
*The photo of the bodyguard Asaka, whose face was not shown, may mislead her as the main suspect because Kuroda and Wakita are both men while she is a woman.<br />
*Rum is a cautious person of whom nobody, not even inside the Black Organization, has an accurate description. If Rumi Wakasa was Rum, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be shown on the news, pro golfer case, with a name so close to the code "ASACA RUM". Members of the Black Organization, like Gin and Vodka, believe that he 'messed up' with the Haneda murder, so exposing herself on the news was a risk if she was really Rum.<br />
*She works as an elementary school teacher, meaning she cannot move around freely to outside of school during working hours and leaving work often will make her more suspicious. If she was Rum and were to move around freely, with or without disguise, there is a possibility that someone will remember her stalking around Mouri Detective Agency.<br />
*In a flashback, she seems to have been traumatized by Haneda's death. Rum was likely the murderer.<br />
*In Rumi's flashback, Kohji Haneda is seen dead and bleeding profusely from his mouth. The palm of Kohji's corpse was open. Which implies that Rumi is not the killer and neither took the piece after prying open Kohji's palm, she might have just picked it up after the real killer discarded it at the scene.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===<br />
[[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]<br />
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]]. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely used clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occurred in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she had bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behind his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquillizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquillizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to be thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.<br />
<br />
Rumi has an interest in Ai Haibara since she says she resembles the woman (Ai's mother) who ruined her.<ref>Beach House Murder Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===<br />
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.<br />
However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===<br />
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda ===<br />
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend while she thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf. His last words were "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end" still ring in her head as she seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.<br />
<br />
=== Tsutomu Akai ===<br />
As of now, it is unclear what the relationship Tsutomu and Rumi had. During the beach house murder case, where after Subaru fends off a criminal gang and tells her to bring the Detective Boys to safety, she has a flashback of Tsutomu defending her, saying "The monster we are about to witness, is not an opponent a young girl should risk her life against, I alone will be enough". It is left ambiguous what the 'monster' that Tsutomu was referring to is.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Hyoue Kuroda'''|黒田 兵衛|Kuroda Hyōe}} is currently the Tokyo Police First Division Managing Officer, former Nagano Police First Division Chief, and a character within the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He was one of the candidates that was presented that could've been [[Rum]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Hyoue Kuroda was originally an officer from the National Police Agency.<ref>Volume 86, file 913, page 8</ref> Seventeen years ago<ref>Volume 104, file 3</ref> he became the victim of an accident<ref>[[Case from 17 years ago]]</ref>, which put him in a ten years long coma. That accident was what caused him to lose his right eye. His hair turned white due to the stress of the accident and he looked like a completely different person, and he says that he's missing a few memories. He was accused of murder but he was cleared due to the bellboy testimony<ref>Volume 104, file 6</ref> Detective Yui thinks that Kuroda has a prosthetic right eye as a result of the accident that put him in the coma.<ref>Volume 86, file 914, page 7</ref><br />
<br />
After having recovered, Kuroda was assigned to Nagano Prefectural Police as the Chief of the First Division, where he first encountered Conan. Some time after the [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|Kawanakajima murder case]], he was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]]. He has heard rumors about Conan being 'the brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and seems to have trust in him.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Kuroda is a very intimidating man, with the wound around his right eye being especially unnerving. [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and even [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] have been scared by his demeanor and his face. His no nonsense approach to cases, coupled with his enigmatic persona keep those he works closely with on their toes. Unlike other policemen like [[Jugo Yokomizo]], he is willing to listen to others than the police's thoughts on a case, as seen when he tells Kogoro that he is welcome to come with his own thoughts.<br />

== Plot overview ==<br />
=== Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Kawanakajima Murder Case|913]]-[[Volume 87#Kawanakajima Murder Case|917]], Anime: [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|810-812]]) ===<br />
This case marks Kuroda's first appearance. He came to the crime scene right after Shigeru Takeda's head was found in the river. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] got surprised as he was a well-built and old one-eyed man, which partially fits Haibara's description of [[Rum]]. He hinted knowing that Conan was the brain behind the Sleeping Kogoro, which was a rumor he heard from the National Police Agency. Although he may also have heard it from [[Kansuke Yamato]], [[Yui Uehara]], and [[Taka'aki Morofushi]] of the Nagano Police, since he was stationed in the Nagano Prefecture at the time.<br />
<br />
He was shown to be a scary person but in the end he turned out to be on Kansuke Yamato and Taka'aki Morofushi's side, helping them to catch the real killer in the case. Yui Uehara said that he had been in a coma for ten years after an accident and had pitch black hair before that. Kansuke jokely says that with a face like that he looked like a boss of some organization.<br />
<br />
=== A Blog That Causes a Death (Manga: [[Volume 87#A Blog That Causes a Death|918-920]], Anime: [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case|814-815]]) ===<br />
Conan and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] were discussing about Kuroda. Ai said that they shouldn't worry because he didn't make any suspicious moves and he was in Nagano, far from the Black Organization. However, at the end of the case it was found out that he had moved to the Tokyo police department replacing Kiyonaga Matsumoto who presumably got promoted. A bit earlier in the case Takagi spoke with him (referring to him as the superintendent), where he gave orders to Megure and Takagi that they should do what Conan tells them to do. When Takagi mentions that he was surprised to learn that Conan knew their new superintendent, he arrives saying that he was confident that Conan could help with the case. He asked Conan to take care of him. Haibara got scared when Kuroda leaned in closer.<br />
<br />
=== A Secret of the Big Couple (Manga: [[Volume 87#A Secret of the Big Couple|925]]-[[Volume 88#A Secret of the Big Couple|927]], Anime: [[The Suspects Are a Passionate Couple|822-823]]) ===<br />
Haibara said to Conan that she hadn't felt the Black Organization Aura from Kuroda. She had only gripped his shoulder because his face and expression were really scary. In fact, she implied Kuroda couldn't be Rum, as he saw her and should have noticed she resembles [[Shiho Miyano]]. If this had happened, things would have gone out of control and Rum would've broken into [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house and this didn't happen.<br />

Kuroda is sitting at his desk looking at the details of the [[case from 17 years ago]]. Shiratori brings Kuroda the file on the robber case that occurred at the elementary school at the time Rumi began working there. Shiratori also informs him that the Detective Boys are going camping with Rumi soon and gives him a pamphlet for the camp grounds. Kuroda goes to the camp grounds and spies on Conan's group through the opening of his tent. The tent next to his catches fire and he is forced to reveal himself. He catches Rumi spaced out staring in his direction and asks her if they should call the police. As Yuminaga's team investigates, Rumi accuses Kuroda of spying on someone.<br />
<br />
Both to Shiratori and to Yuminaga, Kuroda calls Conan: "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", perpetuating the rumor further.<br />
<br />
=== Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941]]) ===<br />
After the case is solved, Kuroda, along with Wakita, is seen reading something on his phone, that mentions [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s involvement in the case.<br />
<br />
=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br />
He is seen reading the article where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi wrote he was nothing but an illusion, with a smirk on his face.<br />

<br />
At the end of the case, Kuroda is seen talking with Amuro on the phone, who questions him about his meeting with the Kudos, calling him by his codename "Bourbon".<br />
<br />
=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1030]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1004]]) ===<br />
Kuroda calls Kansuke's phone and want to talk to Morofushi privately.<br />
<br />
=== Detective Play Director Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Detective Play Director Murder Case|1088-1090]], Anime: [[Momiji Ooka's Sweet Trap|1135-1136]]) ===<br />
Kuroda is with [[Momiji Ooka|Momiji]] as the advisor for a detective show. He later encounter with [[Muga Iori|Iori]], calling him Sakakibara, a codename he had when undercover as a Public Security Bureau officer in the past. Iori mentions he met Amuro at Café Poirot and thinks that he is restrained by his past bonds.<br />
<br />
=== Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Murder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br />

<br />
== Non-canon plot overview ==<br />
=== Zero the Enforcer (Movie: [[Zero the Enforcer|22]]) ===<br />
Kuroda plays a minor role in this movie, being present at all the police meetings and making a few executive decisons. He is shown making a call to Rei Furuya (Bourbon) however it is unclear whether what he says to Furuya at the end of the call. He is shown saying what appears to be a two syllable word, and one can assume that this could either be "Zero" or "Bourbon" given the context.<br />
<br />
=== Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br />
<br />
=== One-eyed Flashback (Movie: [[One-eyed Flashback|28]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Hints Hyoue Kuroda was not be Rum ==<br />
*He met Ai Haibara, who said he might have recognized her as Sherry and taken action against her, though Conan seemed skeptical of the idea and said they should still be careful.<br />
*He knows Bourbon works for the NPA, but has taken no action against him.<br />
*With his beard, he may have a hard time presenting himself as the feminine man.<br />
*Hyoue's current position in the Police force is a Managing Officer of the first division. The police detectives and inspectors of his division would definitely contacting with him for most of the time so if he were to left somewhere unnoticed, it would bring trouble and raise suspicions to himself. His huge body stature would definitely stand out in public, whether in disguise or not, if he was stalking Kogoro's movement.<br />
*He is aware of Conan being the real brains and actual "Sleeping Kogoro's Bag of Wisdom". Gin, however, is still suspicious of only Kogoro himself, not Conan.<br />
*He might also be a NOC, with the codename RUM.<br />
<br />
== Hints Hyoue Kuroda might be Bourbon's PSB handler ==<br />
*He talks to Bourbon on the phone as a superior.<br />
*He is aware of the Black Organization unlike most of the police. He is aware of the "ASACA RUM" code explaining his suspicion on Wakasa Rumi, and he is shown to be aware of Kudo Shinichi's connection with the Black Organization.<br />
*He is aware of both Bourbon's code name and NPA connection. If he was with the Black Organization, he would have taken action against the 'traitor' and if he was with the police knowing Bourbon's criminal connection but not knowing he is a NOC, he would have been investigating the 'criminal cop'.<br />
*In file 1030, he probably watched the crime scene video recorded by Kogoro offscreen and noticed Bourbon in it. In addition, he is also aware about Hiromitsu's connection with Bourbon as fellow officers so he contacted Taka'aki, who was aware about this and presumably ordered him not to strike a conversation with Bourbon since it would blow his cover as undercover officer.<br />
<br />
== Relationship analysis ==<br />
=== Family and friends ===<br />
<br />
=== Nagano and Tokyo Metropolitan Police detectives ===<br />
They have respect for him and follow his orders.<br />
<br />
=== Conan Edogawa ===<br />
Conan is suspicious of Kuroda at first but seem to trust him after Kuroda told him the case seventeen years ago. Kuroda on the other hand seems to have trust in Conan's abilities, even goes as far as to order the police to follow Conan's instructions. He calls him the 'Brains behind the Sleeping Kogoro'. When Kuroda becomes the new Police Superintendent in Tokyo, he greets Conan with 'Yoroshikuna' (Take care of me) which could mean that he's hoping for Conan's help in the future.<br />
<br />
=== Rumi Wakasa ===<br />
Hyoue Kuroda seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Rei Furuya ===<br />
Kuroda seems to be in contact with Amuro, and is also aware of the latter involvement with the Black Organization; calling him by his codename "Bourbon".<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
The name comes from {{nihongo|[[Wikipedia: Kuroda Yoshitaka|Kuroda Kanbei]]|黒田 官兵衛|Kuroda Kanbee<!-- PLEASE DON'T CHANGE TO Kanbē -->|a.k.a. Kuroda Yoshitaka ({{lang|ja|黒田 孝高}})}}, Japanese daimyo of the late Sengoku through early Edo periods.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Rumi Wakasa'''|若狭 留美|Wakasa Rumi}}, whose real name is {{nihongo|'''Rachel Asaka'''|レイチェル·浅香|Reicheru Asaka}}, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Due to an increase in the number of transfer students to [[Teitan Elementary School]] over the past year, they have hired new teachers. She is the new deputy homeroom teacher for class 1-B.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of them, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face, where she rendered three assailants unconscious with a broom in what could have been seconds.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
=== Martial arts ===<br />
While well-hidden, she is a skilled fighter, much stronger than [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]. So coordinated and precise, she can seamlessly create the illusion that her taking down foes is a mixture of clumsiness and pure luck. It is still unknown what style she uses, but she has shown proficiency in [[Wikipedia:Jōdō|Jōdō]] and elbow strikes.<br />
<br />
=== Keen observation and deduction skills ===<br />
She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] to solve a case. She may also be aware of Conan's peculiar use of gadgets as she has witnessed him tranquilizing [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], and using the voice changer bow tie to perform a sleeping deduction show. Conan mentioned using his tranquilizer watch to her on her first appearance.<br />
<br />
=== Painting ===<br />
She is shown to be able to paint a life-sized tiger in a realistic style in one afternoon, and is able to easily fix a smudged painting.<br />
<br />
=== Firearms ===<br />
She is shown to be a capable sniper and counter-sniper, tricking assailants into shooting at a decoy to reveal their positions, before successfully returning fire.<br />

At the mention of good luck charms, Rumi remembers back to when Kohji said, "With the watchtower bishop, you can be sure of making a good move", while holding up a shogi bishop. Then he says, "So they're going to kill me despite that?" She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a "foolish person", while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover.

<br />
=== The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3 (Anime: [[The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3|1087]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Hints that Rumi Wakasa was not Rum ==<br />
*The descriptions of Rum were all of a man, but she is a woman.<br />
*Her name "Wakasa Rumi" seems too obvious.<br />
*Like Kuroda, she perhaps should have recognized Haibara as Sherry and acted against her. However, no action is taken against Haibara despite seeing her five days a week at school.<br />
*Despite the activation of her Black Organization sense, Haibara says she likes Wakasa.<br />
*The photo of the bodyguard Asaka, whose face was not shown, may mislead her as the main suspect because Kuroda and Wakita are both men while she is a woman.<br />
*Rum is a cautious person of whom nobody, not even inside the Black Organization, has an accurate description. If Rumi Wakasa was Rum, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be shown on the news, pro golfer case, with a name so close to the code "ASACA RUM". Members of the Black Organization, like Gin and Vodka, believe that he 'messed up' with the Haneda murder, so exposing herself on the news was a risk if she was really Rum.<br />
*She works as an elementary school teacher, meaning she cannot move around freely to outside of school during working hours and leaving work often will make her more suspicious. If she was Rum and were to move around freely, with or without disguise, there is a possibility that someone will remember her stalking around Mouri Detective Agency.<br />
*In a flashback, she seems to have been traumatized by Haneda's death. Rum was likely the murderer.<br />
*In Rumi's flashback, Kohji Haneda is seen dead and bleeding profusely from his mouth. The palm of Kohji's corpse was open. Which implies that Rumi is not the killer and neither took the piece after prying open Kohji's palm, she might have just picked it up after the real killer discarded it at the scene.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===<br />
[[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]<br />
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]]. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely used clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occurred in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she had bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behind his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquillizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquillizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to be thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.<br />
<br />
Rumi has an interest in Ai Haibara since she says she resembles the woman (Ai's mother) who ruined her.<ref>Beach House Murder Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===<br />
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.<br />
However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===<br />
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda ===<br />
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend while she thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf. His last words were "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end" still ring in her head as she seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.<br />
<br />
=== Tsutomu Akai ===<br />
As of now, it is unclear what the relationship Tsutomu and Rumi had. During the beach house murder case, where after Subaru fends off a criminal gang and tells her to bring the Detective Boys to safety, she has a flashback of Tsutomu defending her, saying "The monster we are about to witness, is not an opponent a young girl should risk her life against, I alone will be enough". It is left ambiguous what the 'monster' that Tsutomu was referring to is.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.<br />

Due to an increase in the number of transfer students to [[Teitan Elementary School]] over the past year, they have hired new teachers. She is the new deputy homeroom teacher for class 1-B.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her.

<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
=== Martial arts ===<br />
While well-hidden, she is a skilled fighter, much stronger than [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]. So coordinated and precise, she can seamlessly create the illusion that her taking down foes is a mixture of clumsiness and pure luck. It is still unknown what style she uses, but she has shown proficiency in [[Wikipedia:Jōdō|Jōdō]] and elbow strikes.<br />
<br />
=== Keen observation and deduction skills ===<br />
She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] to solve a case. She may also be aware of Conan's peculiar use of gadgets as she has witnessed him tranquilizing [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], and using the voice changer bow tie to perform a sleeping deduction show. Conan mentioned using his tranquilizer watch to her on her first appearance.<br />
<br />
=== Painting ===<br />
She is shown to be able to paint a life-sized tiger in a realistic style in one afternoon, and is able to easily fix a smudged painting.<br />
<br />
=== Firearms ===<br />
She is shown to be a capable sniper and counter-sniper, tricking assailants into shooting at a decoy to reveal their positions, before successfully returning fire.<br />

Then he says, "So they're going to kill me despite that?" She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a "foolish person", while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover.

<br />
=== The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3 (Anime: [[The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3|1087]]) ===<br />
<br />
== Hints Rumi Wakasa was not Rum ==<br />
*The descriptions of Rum were all of a man, but she is a woman.<br />
*Her name "Wakasa Rumi" seems too obvious.<br />
*Like Kuroda, she perhaps should have recognized Haibara as Sherry and acted against her. However, no action is taken against Haibara despite seeing her five days a week at school.<br />
*Despite the activation of her Black Organization sense, Haibara says she likes Wakasa.<br />
*The photo of the bodyguard Asaka, whose face was not shown, may mislead her as the main suspect because Kuroda and Wakita are both men while she is a woman.<br />
*Rum is a cautious person of whom nobody, not even inside the Black Organization, has an accurate description. If Rumi Wakasa was Rum, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be shown on the news, pro golfer case, with a name so close to the code "ASACA RUM". Members of the Black Organization, like Gin and Vodka, believe that he 'messed up' with the Haneda murder, so exposing herself on the news was a risk if she was really Rum.<br />
*She works as an elementary school teacher, meaning she cannot move around freely to outside of school during working hours and leaving work often will make her more suspicious. If she was Rum and were to move around freely, with or without disguise, there is a possibility that someone will remember her stalking around Mouri Detective Agency.<br />
*In a flashback, she seems to have been traumatized by Haneda's death. Rum was likely the murderer.<br />
*In Rumi's flashback, Kohji Haneda is seen dead and bleeding profusely from his mouth. The palm of Kohji's corpse was open. Which implies that Rumi is not the killer and neither took the piece after prying open Kohji's palm, she might have just picked it up after the real killer discarded it at the scene.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===<br />
[[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]<br />
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]]. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely used clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occurred in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she had bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behind his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquillizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquillizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to be thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.<br />
<br />
Rumi has an interest in Ai Haibara since she says she resembles the woman (Ai's mother) who ruined her.<ref>Beach House Murder Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===<br />
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.<br />
However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===<br />
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda ===<br />
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend while she thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf. His last words were "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end" still ring in her head as she seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.<br />
<br />
=== Tsutomu Akai ===<br />
As of now, it is unclear what the relationship Tsutomu and Rumi had. During the beach house murder case, where after Subaru fends off a criminal gang and tells her to bring the Detective Boys to safety, she has a flashback of Tsutomu defending her, saying "The monster we are about to witness, is not an opponent a young girl should risk her life against, I alone will be enough". It is left ambiguous what the 'monster' that Tsutomu was referring to is.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.<br />

It is still unknown what style she uses, but she has shown proficiency in [[Wikipedia:Jōdō|Jōdō]] and elbow strikes.<br />
<br />
=== Keen observation and deduction skills ===<br />
She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] to solve a case. She may also be aware of Conan's peculiar use of gadgets as she has witnessed him tranquilizing [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], and using the voice changer bow tie to perform a sleeping deduction show. Conan mentioned using his tranquilizer watch to her on her first appearance.<br />
<br />
=== Painting ===<br />
She is shown to be able to paint a life-sized tiger in a realistic style in one afternoon, and is able to easily fix a smudged painting.<br />

=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===<br />
[[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]<br />
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]]. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely used clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occurred in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she had bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behind his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquillizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquillizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to be thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.<br />
<br />
Rumi has an interest in Ai Haibara since she says she resembles the woman (Ai's mother) who ruined her.<ref>Beach House Murder Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===<br />
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.<br />
However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===<br />
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda ===<br />
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend while she thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf. His last words were "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end" still ring in her head as she seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.<br />
<br />
=== Tsutomu Akai ===<br />
As of now, it is unclear what the relationship Tsutomu and Rumi had. During the beach house murder case, where after Subaru fends off a criminal gang and tells her to bring the Detective Boys to safety, she has a flashback of Tsutomu defending her, saying "The monster we are about to witness, is not an opponent a young girl should risk her life against, I alone will be enough". It is left ambiguous what the 'monster' that Tsutomu was referring to is.<br />
<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
[[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.<br />

Due to an increase in the number of transfer students to [[Teitan Elementary School]] over the past year, they have hired new teachers. She is the new deputy homeroom teacher for class 1-B.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of them, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face, where she rendered three assailants unconscious with a broom in what could have been seconds.<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
<br />
== Abilities ==<br />
=== Martial arts ===<br />
While well-hidden, she is a skilled fighter, much stronger than [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]]. So coordinated and precise, she can seamlessly create the illusion that her taking down foes is a mixture of clumsiness and pure luck. It is still unknown what style she uses, but she has shown proficiency in [[Wikipedia:Jōdō|Jōdō]] and elbow strikes.<br />
<br />
=== Keen observation and deduction skills ===<br />
She has also shown her reasoning and deductive abilities, giving hints to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] to solve a case. She may also be aware of Conan's peculiar use of gadgets as she has witnessed him tranquilizing [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], and using the voice changer bow tie to perform a sleeping deduction show. Conan mentioned using his tranquilizer watch to her on her first appearance.<br />
<br />
=== Painting ===<br />
She is shown to be able to paint a life-sized tiger in a realistic style in one afternoon, and is able to easily fix a smudged painting.<br />
<br />
=== Firearms ===<br />
She is shown to be a capable sniper and counter-sniper, tricking assailants into shooting at a decoy to reveal their positions, before successfully returning fire.<br />

After they finish, Rumi treats them to dinner. But when they hear loud sounds from the neighbor, they goes over to check it out and finds a dead body and an unconscious man. Later back in Rumi's apartment, Conan finds a receipt that may prove that she knew the case would happen before hand and invited them there on purpose. Later Rumi incapacitates the culprit under the guise of falling over. The news crews outside happen to take a picture and Ayumi gives them Rumi's name. [[Hyoue Kuroda]] is shown reading the news article on his phone. [[Kanenori Wakita]] is shown reading a newspaper, but the article is not shown to us.<br />

When they approach a group cooking curry over a fire nearby, one of them mentions that he has an injured eye and nearly had to get a prosthetic eye. Rumi clenches up, and Conan notices her gripping something in her pocket. Later one of the other campers is burned alive inside his own tent. Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or because she cannot see. When Kuroda seems to know the order that everyone introduced themselves in, despite originally claiming to have had earplugs in while sleeping. Rumi accuses him of spying on someone. Rumi has the Detective Boys build an acorn balance toy, which leads to the solution of the case. After Conan and Kuroda uncover the culprit, the culprit uses Ayumi as a hostage, Rumi manages to distract him long enough for Kuroda and Yuminaga to arrest him. Kuroda showed interest in the intimidating words that Rumi used to distract him. On the other hand, Conan becomes more suspicious of Rumi, and notices a strange object in her back pocket that has a shape similar to that of a Shogi piece.<br />

Rumi and Kobayashi take the Detective Boys out to collect edible plants. As they do so, Rumi detects the scent of blood blown by the wind and immediately thinks about Kohji's death. At the mention of good luck charms, Rumi remembers back to when Kohji said, "With the watchtower bishop, you can be sure of making a good move", while holding up a shogi bishop. Then he says, "So they're going to kill me despite that?" She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a "foolish person", while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover. Conan notices her doing this and appears angry at her for it (or cognizant why she does not feel she needs it) as Rumi's face is in shadow.<br />

However, they are unable to contact police by their phone. Also, Rumi notices the shogi piece which has been kept on her back pocket is missing and finds out it has been picked up by Amuro according to Genta. After they are rescued from the cellar, Rumi uses the badge as a bait to lure Amuro back into the cellar and knocks him out in order to retrieve the shogi piece.

When they encounter the criminal gang involved in the case, Subaru calls for Rumi to take the Detective Boys to a safe place while he uses Jeet Kune Do to fend them off, causing Rumi to have flashbacks of [[Tsutomu Akai]] seventeen years ago after hearing his words. Rumi locks the Detective Boys in a safe place, bending the doorknob to make it unusable, so she can secretly defeat their pursuers.

<br />
=== The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3 (Anime: [[The Case of Ayumi's Illustrated Diary 3|1087]]) ===<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Hints Rumi Wakasa was not Rum ===<br />
*The descriptions of Rum were all of a man, but she is a woman.<br />
*Her name "Wakasa Rumi" seems too obvious.<br />
*Like Kuroda, she perhaps should have recognized Haibara as Sherry and acted against her. However, no action is taken against Haibara despite seeing her five days a week at school.<br />
*Despite the activation of her Black Organization sense, Haibara says she likes Wakasa.<br />
*The photo of the bodyguard Asaka, whose face was not shown, may mislead her as the main suspect because Kuroda and Wakita are both men while she is a woman.<br />
*Rum is a cautious person of whom nobody, not even inside the Black Organization, has an accurate description. If Rumi Wakasa was Rum, she wouldn't have allowed herself to be shown on the news, pro golfer case, with a name so close to the code "ASACA RUM". Members of the Black Organization, like Gin and Vodka, believe that he 'messed up' with the Haneda murder, so exposing herself on the news was a risk if she was really Rum.<br />
*She works as an elementary school teacher, meaning she cannot move around freely to outside of school during working hours and leaving work often will make her more suspicious. If she was Rum and were to move around freely, with or without disguise, there is a possibility that someone will remember her stalking around Mouri Detective Agency.<br />
*In a flashback, she seems to have been traumatized by Haneda's death. Rum was likely the murderer.<br />
*In Rumi's flashback, Kohji Haneda is seen dead and bleeding profusely from his mouth. The palm of Kohji's corpse was open. Which implies that Rumi is not the killer and neither took the piece after prying open Kohji's palm, she might have just picked it up after the real killer discarded it at the scene.<br />
<br />
== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===<br />
[[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]<br />
Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]]. Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely used clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occurred in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she had bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behind his sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.<br />
<br />
Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquillizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquillizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it. Later, Rumi demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the Detective Boys. She allowed them to be thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, Sumiko, be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the Black Organization back.<br />
<br />
Rumi has an interest in Ai Haibara since she says she resembles the woman (Ai's mother) who ruined her.<ref>Beach House Murder Case</ref><br />
<br />
=== Sumiko Kobayashi ===<br />
[[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.<br />
However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to "gambit" in chess, and was praised by Rum.<br />
<br />
=== Ryujiro Uematsu ===<br />
[[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.<br />
<br />
=== Hyoue Kuroda ===<br />
[[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br />
<br />
=== Kohji Haneda ===<br />
Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend while she thought of him as a "foolish person" because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf. His last words were "Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end" still ring in her head as she seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.<br />
<br />
=== Tsutomu Akai ===<br />
As of now, it is unclear what the relationship Tsutomu and Rumi had. During the beach house murder case, where after Subaru fends off a criminal gang and tells her to bring the Detective Boys to safety, she has a flashback of Tsutomu defending her, saying "The monster we are about to witness, is not an opponent a young girl should risk her life against, I alone will be enough". It is left ambiguous what the 'monster' that Tsutomu was referring to is.<br />

[[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.<br />

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

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

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

The protagonists from his earlier series [[Magic Kaito]] look very similar: [[Kaitou Kid]] has made many appearances as himself in the anime and manga of the series. The main protagonist of the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' series, [[Shinichi Kudo]], and the protagonist of the ''Magic Kaito'' series, [[Kaito Kuroba]], are also similar. Hundreds of minor characters have been created and are always given backgrounds, motives, and personalities that put them under suspicion during the investigation.<br />
<br />
The English adaptation dubbed by [[Funimation]], called ''Case Closed'', has different names than the one in the manga published by [[Viz Media]].<br />
<br />
== Protagonists ==<br />
The series revolves around [[Shinichi Kudo]] and his "child version", [[Conan Edogawa]], as well as his love interest and best friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father [[Kogoro Mouri]].<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]<br />
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Yukiko is a fairly tall and fair-skinned woman. She has bright-blue eyes long wavy light-brown hair that curls at the ends with shorter bangs that part to the left to frame her forehead. She is slender yet curvaceous and well-endowed in built, she is considered very beautiful and admired by most men. She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Eri Mouri. A woman who doesn't accept aging gracefully, she will commonly dressed in attire more commonly seen by women in their twenties.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
=== Intelligence ===<br />

She is also likewise very knowledge about the distinct differences of various cultures, including how things are referred to and how their gestures work. A very composed and creative person, she excels in making up lies on the spot with well-thought out backstories, able to constantly adapt to situations to continue the deception and likewise remember her deceptions for later usage. Very persuasive, she as a talent for reading a person's nature and adapting her nature to make them more compliment.<br />

[[Image:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sharon Vineyard with Yukiko while under Toichi's tutelage]]<br />
Yukiko is an exceptional actress, having earned world-wide fame and various prestigious awards when only a teenager. Showing her talent since high school, Yukiko has an uncanny ability to perfectly adapt herself to whatever character she chooses. She can effortlessly change her mannerisms and speech-patterns, as well as accent and dialect, to suit the situation. Expanding upon this and learning from [[Toichi Kuroba]], she became a master of disguise. Much like her former friend, Vermouth, with only minimum preparation required, she can perfectly change her appearance or that of others to perfectly look like virtually anyone. Her performance is able to easily fool even close friends and family. Unlike Vermouth though her skill in disguise is limited vocally, as she is unable to mimic male voices. As such, she normally takes on female personas if not of non-existent people.<br />
<br />
=== Other Skills ===<br />
Yukiko is an accomplished driver, able to perform daring stunts behind the wheel. She is also a highly skilled cook.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped [[Shuichi Akai]] go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />
<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]<br />
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Yukiko is a fairly tall and fair-skinned woman. She has bright-blue eyes long wavy light-brown hair that curls at the ends with shorter bangs that part to the left to frame her forehead. She is slender yet curvaceous and well-endowed in built, she is considered very beautiful and admired by most men. She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Eri Mouri. A woman who doesn't accept aging gracefully, she will commonly dressed in attire more commonly seen by women in their twenties.<br />
<br />

While not nearly on the same level as her husband or son, Yukiko has commonly shown herself to be a very insightful and methodical person, able to notice details that most would miss. She is also likewise very knowledge about the distinct differences of various cultures, including how things are referred to and how their gestures work. A very composed and creative person, she excels in making up lies on the spot with well-thought out backstories, able to constantly adapt to situations to continue the deception and likewise remember her deceptions for later usage. Very persuasive, she as a talent for reading a person's nature and adapting her nature to make them more compliment.<br />
<br />
=== Disguise ===<br />
[[Image:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sharon Vineyard with Yukiko while under Toichi's tutelage]]<br />
Yukiko is an exceptional actress, having earned world-wide fame and various prestigious awards when only a teenager. Showing her talent since high school, Yukiko has an uncanny ability to perfectly adapt herself to whatever character she chooses. She can effortlessly change her mannerisms and speech-patterns, as well as accent and dialect, to suit the situation. Expanding upon this and learning from [[Toichi Kuroba]], she became a master of disguise. Much like her former friend, Vermouth, with only minimum preparation required, she can perfectly change her appearance or that of others to perfectly look like virtually anyone. Her performance is able to easily fool even close friends and family. Unlike Vermouth though her skill in disguise is limited vocally, as she is unable to mimic male voices. As such, she normally takes on female personas if not of non-existent people.<br />
<br />
=== Other Skills ===<br />
Yukiko is an accomplished driver, able to perform daring stunts behind the wheel. She is also a highly skilled cook.<br />

However, due to Yukiko being in the bathroom, she was unable to stop the murder from happening.

Eri calls her "princess" which makes them reminisce about the Miss Teitan beauty contest as nobody has called her that since the High School festival. Ran then talks about how 20 years ago, there was a legendary beauty contest that made the school shudder. The two contestants were a girl with genius-level acting who already had her debut, the princess of Teitan, and a highly intelligent girl who was already recommended to go to Harvard at the age of 16, the queen of Teitan high". [[Image:Yukiko in High School.png|right|thumb|200px|Yukiko in High School]] It is revealed that the two girls were actually Yukiko and Eri and that due to the popularity of the two girls, the contest had to be cancelled before panic occurred, leaving the winner of Miss Teitan a mystery. Yukiko says that she is here as Yusaku asked her to help his friend with a case he had. As they are all solving the case, Ran asks both Yukiko and Eri if they know who had won the contest. They say that it was a tie as both of them got 10,000 votes but that there was one vote missing at the time, leaving the winner unknown. Ran however tells them that Kogoro was the last missing vote as she found the paper inside his old blazer. Due to the paper being in the wash, she was unable to read who Kogoro voted for. <br />
<br />
After a murder occurs, Yukiko calls Yusaku about the case and he gives a hint to her that she relays the information to Conan, giving him the information he needs to solve the case. After Conan tells her his deduction and she memorizes it, she uses her "Night Baroness" persona and solves the case for Conan. After the case, both she and Eri ask Kogoro to find out who he voted for in the Miss Teitan contest. Kogoro says that he voted for Eri, leaving Yukiko saddened but Kogoro explains that he mistook the word "miss" for "mistake" so he voted for the person he thought was a klutz. He then goes on to say that he would've voted for Yukiko if he knew what it meant, making Yukiko happy but annoyed after Kogoro tries to change his mind after seeing Eri get angry. Both she and Eri decide to hang out at the end.<br />

She speeds through traffic and arrives at the film-development studio where they are greeted by an old associate of Yukiko from when she was still an actress. Yukiko notices and tells Conan that Haibara stared at him 10 times today, which could only mean that he has something on his face or that she's in love with them. Conan doesn't believe so and asks if she was able to shake off the car that was following them, which Yukiko believes she did. Both of them are unsure of who could the people following them be, which leads Conan to speculate that it may be the Black Organization and that they were following Haibara or him. Yukiko though thinks that it could just be fans of her who just wanted to figure out her home's location and ask for an autograph, leaving Conan bemused. Due to the preview screening being delayed, Yukiko has to leave Conan and the kids at the studio as she has to catch her flight back to the US.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />

=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]<br />
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Yukiko is a fairly tall and fair-skinned woman. She has bright-blue eyes long wavy light-brown hair that curls at the ends with shorter bangs that part to the left to frame her forehead. She is slender yet curvaceous and well-endowed in built, she is considered very beautiful and admired by most men. She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Eri Mouri. A woman who doesn't accept aging gracefully, she will commonly dressed in attire more commonly seen by women in their twenties.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
=== Intelligence ===<br />
While not nearly on the same level as her husband or son, Yukiko has commonly shown herself to be a very insightful and methodical person, able to notice details that most would miss. She is also likewise very knowledge about the distinct differences of various cultures, including how things are referred to and how their gestures work. A very composed and creative person, she excels in making up lies on the spot with well-thought out backstories, able to constantly adapt to situations to continue the deception and likewise remember her deceptions for later usage. Very persuasive, she as a talent for reading a person's nature and adapting her nature to make them more compliment.<br />
<br />
=== Disguise ===<br />
[[Image:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sharon Vineyard with Yukiko while under Toichi's tutelage]]<br />
Yukiko is an exceptional actress, having earned world-wide fame and various prestigious awards when only a teenager. Showing her talent since high school, Yukiko has an uncanny ability to perfectly adapt herself to whatever character she chooses. She can effortlessly change her mannerisms and speech-patterns, as well as accent and dialect, to suit the situation. Expanding upon this and learning from [[Toichi Kuroba]], she became a master of disguise. Much like her former friend, Vermouth, with only minimum preparation required, she can perfectly change her appearance or that of others to perfectly look like virtually anyone. Her performance is able to easily fool even close friends and family. Unlike Vermouth though her skill in disguise is limited vocally, as she is unable to mimic male voices. As such, she normally takes on female personas if not of non-existent people.<br />
<br />
=== Other Skills ===<br />
Yukiko is an accomplished driver, able to perform daring stunts behind the wheel. She is also a highly skilled cook.<br />

Conan, Ran, and Eri are solving a case for Kogoro but are surprised when they see Yukiko there as well. Yukiko and Eri affectionately greet each other as they haven't seen each other for the last 10 years. Eri calls her "princess" which makes them reminisce about the Miss Teitan beauty contest as nobody has called her that since the High School festival. Ran then talks about how 20 years ago, there was a legendary beauty contest that made the school shudder. The two contestants were a girl with genius-level acting who already had her debut, the princess of Teitan, and a highly intelligent girl who was already recommended to go to Harvard at the age of 16, the queen of Teitan high". It is revealed that the two girls were actually Yukiko and Eri and that due to the popularity of the two girls, the contest had to be cancelled before panic occurred, leaving the winner of Miss Teitan a mystery. Yukiko says that she is here as Yusaku asked her to help his friend with a case he had. As they are all solving the case, Ran asks both Yukiko and Eri if they know who had won the contest. They say that it was a tie as both of them got 10,000 votes but that there was one vote missing at the time, leaving the winner unknown. Ran however tells them that Kogoro was the last missing vote as she found the paper inside his old blazer. Due to the paper being in the wash, she was unable to read who Kogoro voted for. After a murder occurs, Yukiko calls Yusaku about the case and he gives a hint to her that she relays the information to Conan, giving him the information he needs to solve the case. After Conan tells her his deduction and she memorizes it, she uses her "Night Baroness" persona and solves the case for Conan. After the case, both she and Eri ask Kogoro to find out who he voted for in the Miss Teitan contest. Kogoro says that he voted for Eri, leaving Yukiko saddened but Kogoro explains that he mistook the word "miss" for "mistake" so he voted for the person he thought was a klutz. He then goes on to say that he would've voted for Yukiko if he knew what it meant, making Yukiko happy but annoyed after Kogoro tries to change his mind after seeing Eri get angry. Both she and Eri decide to hang out at the end.<br />

<br />
Yukiko decides to take Conan and the Detective Kids to a special preview screening of the Kamen Yaiba movie. She speeds through traffic and arrives at the film-development studio where they are greeted by an old associate of Yukiko from when she was still an actress. Yukiko notices and tells Conan that Haibara stared at him 10 times today, which could only mean that he has something on his face or that she's in love with them. Conan doesn't believe so and asks if she was able to shake off the car that was following them, which Yukiko believes she did. Both of them are unsure of who could the people following them be, which leads Conan to speculate that it may be the Black Organization and that they were following Haibara or him. Yukiko though thinks that it could just be fans of her who just wanted to figure out her home's location and ask for an autograph, leaving Conan bemused. Due to the preview screening being delayed, Yukiko has to leave Conan and the kids at the studio as she has to catch her flight back to the US.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />

Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />

However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />

==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />

Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]<br />
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Yukiko is a fairly tall and fair-skinned woman. She has bright-blue eyes long wavy light-brown hair that curls at the ends with shorter bangs that part to the left to frame her forehead. She is slender yet curvaceous and well-endowed in built, she is considered very beautiful and admired by most men. She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Eri Mouri. A woman who doesn't accept aging gracefully, she will commonly dressed in attire more commonly seen by women in their twenties.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
=== Intelligence ===<br />
While not nearly on the same level as her husband or son, Yukiko has commonly shown herself to be a very insightful and methodical person, able to notice details that most would miss. She is also likewise very knowledge about the distinct differences of various cultures, including how things are referred to and how their gestures work. A very composed and creative person, she excels in making up lies on the spot with well-thought out backstories, able to constantly adapt to situations to continue the deception and likewise remember her deceptions for later usage. Very persuasive, she as a talent for reading a person's nature and adapting her nature to make them more compliment.<br />
<br />
=== Disguise ===<br />
[[Image:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sharon Vineyard with Yukiko while under Toichi's tutelage]]<br />
Yukiko is an exceptional actress, having earned world-wide fame and various prestigious awards when only a teenager. Showing her talent since high school, Yukiko has an uncanny ability to perfectly adapt herself to whatever character she chooses. She can effortlessly change her mannerisms and speech-patterns, as well as accent and dialect, to suit the situation. Expanding upon this and learning from [[Toichi Kuroba]], she became a master of disguise. Much like her former friend, Vermouth, with only minimum preparation required, she can perfectly change her appearance or that of others to perfectly look like virtually anyone. Her performance is able to easily fool even close friends and family. Unlike Vermouth though her skill in disguise is limited vocally, as she is unable to mimic male voices. As such, she normally takes on female personas if not of non-existent people.<br />
<br />
=== Other Skills ===<br />
Yukiko is an accomplished driver, able to perform daring stunts behind the wheel. She is also a highly skilled cook.<br />

As they are investigating Yukiko notices a cigarette on the floor but hides it from Conan, saying that she doesn't want to help Conan with the deduction and tells him to do it himself.

All of them go backstage and meet with all of the actors and actresses for the play. They call Yukiko the "Night Baroness" due to the fact that she is the wife of Yusaku, who is the author of the "Night Baron", and that she once had a perfect deduction when she was invited for a special investigation program on TV making her a famous lady detective (Shinichi though thinks her deduction is from hearing what Yusaku mumbled when he was reading the newspaper). As she, Ran, and Shinichi watch the play, a murder occurs leaving Shinichi to solve the case. After Shinichi figures out who the culprit is, Yukiko helps him by explaining it to the police how they did it and the case is solved.<br />

[[Image:Yukiko in High School.png|right|thumb|200px|Yukiko in High School]]<br />
Conan, Ran, and Eri are solving a case for Kogoro but are surprised when they see Yukiko there as well. Yukiko and Eri affectionately greet each other as they haven't seen each other for the last 10 years. Eri calls her "princess" which makes them reminisce about the Miss Teitan beauty contest as nobody has called her that since the High School festival. Ran then talks about how 20 years ago, there was a legendary beauty contest that made the school shudder. The two contestants were a girl with genius-level acting who already had her debut, the princess of Teitan, and a highly intelligent girl who was already recommended to go to Harvard at the age of 16, the queen of Teitan high". It is revealed that the two girls were actually Yukiko and Eri and that due to the popularity of the two girls, the contest had to be cancelled before panic occurred, leaving the winner of Miss Teitan a mystery. Yukiko says that she is here as Yusaku asked her to help his friend with a case he had. As they are all solving the case, Ran asks both Yukiko and Eri if they know who had won the contest. They say that it was a tie as both of them got 10,000 votes but that there was one vote missing at the time, leaving the winner unknown. Ran however tells them that Kogoro was the last missing vote as she found the paper inside his old blazer. Due to the paper being in the wash, she was unable to read who Kogoro voted for. After a murder occurs, Yukiko calls Yusaku about the case and he gives a hint to her that she relays the information to Conan, giving him the information he needs to solve the case. After Conan tells her his deduction and she memorizes it, she uses her "Night Baroness" persona and solves the case for Conan. After the case, both she and Eri ask Kogoro to find out who he voted for in the Miss Teitan contest. Kogoro says that he voted for Eri, leaving Yukiko saddened but Kogoro explains that he mistook the word "miss" for "mistake" so he voted for the person he thought was a klutz. He then goes on to say that he would've voted for Yukiko if he knew what it meant, making Yukiko happy but annoyed after Kogoro tries to change his mind after seeing Eri get angry. Both she and Eri decide to hang out at the end.<br />

Yukiko notices and tells Conan that Haibara stared at him 10 times today, which could only mean that he has something on his face or that she's in love with them. Conan doesn't believe so and asks if she was able to shake off the car that was following them, which Yukiko believes she did. Both of them are unsure of who could the people following them be, which leads Conan to speculate that it may be the Black Organization and that they were following Haibara or him. Yukiko though thinks that it could just be fans of her who just wanted to figure out her home's location and ask for an autograph, leaving Conan bemused. Due to the preview screening being delayed, Yukiko has to leave Conan and the kids at the studio as she has to catch her flight back to the US.<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]<br />
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />
<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

{{nihongo|'''Yukiko Kudo'''|工藤 有希子|Kudō Yukiko|née {{nihongo|'''Fujimine'''|藤峰|Fujimine}}}} is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[Vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]<br />
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />
<br />
== Appearance ==<br />
Yukiko is a fairly tall and fair-skinned woman. She has bright-blue eyes long wavy light-brown hair that curls at the ends with shorter bangs that part to the left to frame her forehead. She is slender yet curvaceous and well-endowed in built, she is considered very beautiful and admired by most men. She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Eri Mouri. A woman who doesn't accept aging gracefully, she will commonly dressed in attire more commonly seen by women in their twenties.<br />
<br />
==Abilities==<br />
=== Intelligence ===<br />
While not nearly on the same level as her husband or son, Yukiko has commonly shown herself to be a very insightful and methodical person, able to notice details that most would miss. She is also likewise very knowledge about the distinct differences of various cultures, including how things are referred to and how their gestures work. A very composed and creative person, she excels in making up lies on the spot with well-thought out backstories, able to constantly adapt to situations to continue the deception and likewise remember her deceptions for later usage. Very persuasive, she as a talent for reading a person's nature and adapting her nature to make them more compliment.<br />
<br />
=== Disguise ===<br />
[[Image:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sharon Vineyard with Yukiko while under Toichi's tutelage]]<br />
Yukiko is an exceptional actress, having earned world-wide fame and various prestigious awards when only a teenager. Showing her talent since high school, Yukiko has an uncanny ability to perfectly adapt herself to whatever character she chooses. She can effortlessly change her mannerisms and speech-patterns, as well as accent and dialect, to suit the situation. Expanding upon this and learning from [[Toichi Kuroba]], she became a master of disguise. Much like her former friend, Vermouth, with only minimum preparation required, she can perfectly change her appearance or that of others to perfectly look like virtually anyone. Her performance is able to easily fool even close friends and family. Unlike Vermouth though her skill in disguise is limited vocally, as she is unable to mimic male voices. As such, she normally takes on female personas if not of non-existent people.<br />
<br />
=== Other Skills ===<br />
Yukiko is an accomplished driver, able to perform daring stunts behind the wheel. She is also a highly skilled cook.<br />

In the manga, she gives the explanation that Conan is "the nephew of the grandfather of the cousin of the daughter of the brother of my uncle," which produces a long and complicated family tree showing that Conan is in fact her son. Yukiko takes Conan to help her investigate something that her friend asked her to do. During this, a murder happens that forces Conan and Yukiko to find who the culprit is. As they are investigating Yukiko notices a cigarette on the floor but hides it from Conan, saying that she doesn't want to help Conan with the deduction and tells him to do it himself. During the deduction, Yukiko thinks to herself that hopefully Conan "makes a good deduction" as "both of us are watching you". It is revealed that Yusaku was also there and had been looking for Yukiko to take her back with him. Yukiko and Yusaku go back with Conan to the detective agency and say goodbye to Conan as they leave once again.<br />

<br />
After Conan reveals to the suspicious woman on the train that he knows that she is in fact Yukiko in disguise, she and Conan discuss the case. She tells him that after she and Yusaku read about the robbery of the jewellery store in the newspaper, both of them decided to come back to Japan to find out what was happening as the robbery was incredibly similar to the incident that happened in the novel that Yusaku wrote 10 years ago. Since in the novel the owner of the store gets killed on the train, both of them buy tickets and take separate trains to prevent the murder. However, due to Yukiko being in the bathroom, she was unable to stop the murder from happening. Conan asks her what the trick for the murder was but Yukiko tells him that Yusaku forgot what the trick was and that the manuscript for the novel was stolen. She and Conan proceed to work together to catch the culprit by baiting them by acting as if Yukiko saw something that the culprit had that reveals the trick. Yukiko and Conan wait by the train station for the culprit, but Conan loses Yukiko and sees her on the other side of the platform with the culprit. He tries to call out to her but a train flies by and she doesn't hear him. Just as the culprit is about to push Yukiko into the train tracks, Yusaku stops them and apprehends the culprit.

All of them go backstage and meet with all of the actors and actresses for the play. They call Yukiko the "Night Baroness" due to the fact that she is the wife of Yusaku, who is the author of the "Night Baron", and that she once had a perfect deduction when she was invited for a special investigation program on TV making her a famous lady detective (Shinichi though thinks her deduction is from hearing what Yusaku mumbled when he was reading the newspaper).

Conan, Ran, and Eri are solving a case for Kogoro but are surprised when they see Yukiko there as well. Yukiko and Eri affectionately greet each other as they haven't seen each other for the last 10 years. Eri calls her "princess" which makes them reminisce about the Miss Teitan beauty contest as nobody has called her that since the High School festival. Ran then talks about how 20 years ago, there was a legendary beauty contest that made the school shudder. The two contestants were a girl with genius-level acting who already had her debut, the princess of Teitan, and a highly intelligent girl who was already recommended to go to Harvard at the age of 16, the queen of Teitan high". It is revealed that the two girls were actually Yukiko and Eri and that due to the popularity of the two girls, the contest had to be cancelled before panic occurred, leaving the winner of Miss Teitan a mystery. Yukiko says that she is here as Yusaku asked her to help his friend with a case he had. As they are all solving the case, Ran asks both Yukiko and Eri if they know who had won the contest. They say that it was a tie as both of them got 10,000 votes but that there was one vote missing at the time, leaving the winner unknown. Ran however tells them that Kogoro was the last missing vote as she found the paper inside his old blazer. Due to the paper being in the wash, she was unable to read who Kogoro voted for. After a murder occurs, Yukiko calls Yusaku about the case and he gives a hint to her that she relays the information to Conan, giving him the information he needs to solve the case. After Conan tells her his deduction and she memorizes it, she uses her "Night Baroness" persona and solves the case for Conan. After the case, both she and Eri ask Kogoro to find out who he voted for in the Miss Teitan contest. Kogoro says that he voted for Eri, leaving Yukiko saddened but Kogoro explains that he mistook the word "miss" for "mistake" so he voted for the person he thought was a klutz. He then goes on to say that he would've voted for Yukiko if he knew what it meant, making Yukiko happy but annoyed after Kogoro tries to change his mind after seeing Eri get angry. Both she and Eri decide to hang out at the end.<br />

Both of them are unsure of who could the people following them be, which leads Conan to speculate that it may be the Black Organization and that they were following Haibara or him. Yukiko though thinks that it could just be fans of her who just wanted to figure out her home's location and ask for an autograph, leaving Conan bemused.

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />

Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> <!--Please do not add back in the information about Tosa/Kouchi without evidence pertaining to its truthfulness. In "The Similar Princesses" Conan explains to Eri and Ran that Yukiko isn't from there and that she learned the Tosa dialect for an acting role which we later discover in the end of the Ryoma gunbelt case with Kid was Ryoma's older sister Otome. The confusion is stemming from a mistranslation found in a scanlation of Chapter 733. The original line in question in response to Kid asking Conan if he's a Ryoma fan (which you can hear quoted word for word in Episode 628) reads: "“オレの母さんだよ…龍馬の姉の乙女役をやった事もあって、龍馬にぞっこんでよ…” (“Ore no kaa-san dayo...Ryoma no ane no otomeyaku o yatta koto mo atte, Ryoma ni zokkon de yo...”). It translates roughly to: "My mother is. She once played the role of Ryoma's older sister Otome, and she went crazy over him.") There is no reference to Yukiko being born in Tosa/Kouchi anywhere. The mistranlation in the scanlated version reads: "My mother is...she was born in Tosa, and even acted the role of his maiden elder sister before..."--><br />
<br />
Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref><br />
<br />
Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref><br />
<br />
She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref><br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]<br />
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.<br />
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]<br />
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}<br />

Yukiko is an exceptional actress, having earned world-wide fame and various prestigious awards when only a teenager. Showing her talent since high school, Yukiko has an uncanny ability to perfectly adapt herself to whatever character she chooses. She can effortlessly change her mannerisms and speech-patterns, as well as accent and dialect, to suit the situation.

== Relationships analysis ==<br />
=== Family ===<br />
{{main|Kudo family}}<br />
<br />
==== Yusaku Kudo ====<br />
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}<br />
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.<br />
<br />
==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====<br />
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi was shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assisted him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.<br />
<br />
=== Friends ===<br />
==== Eri Kisaki ====<br />
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.<br />
<br />
In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.<br />
<br />
==== Ran Mouri ====<br />
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.<br />
<br />
==== Shuichi Akai ====<br />
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.<br />
<br />
====Hiroshi Agasa====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.<br />
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.<br />
<br />
==== Kogoro Mouri ====<br />
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.<br />
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.<br />
<br />
==== Vermouth ====<br />
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.<br />

== Trivia ==<br />
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.<br />
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.<br />
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.<br />
*According to Love Conan Interview Yukiko was modelled after Fujiko Mine, and Gosho borrowed her hair style.<br />
