{{nihongo|'''Kohji Haneda'''|羽田浩司|Haneda Kōji}} was a professional shogi player and [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother in the [[manga]] ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:APTX 4869 victim list 3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|The name Kohji Haneda is written two lines below [[Shinichi Kudo]].]]
Kohji Haneda was a talented shogi player that his "not-related-by-blood"<ref>Shukichi was a {{lang|ja|義理の兄}} to Kohji: an adopted brother or step brother, rather than a blood brother.</ref> brother, [[Shukichi Haneda]], deeply respected. Many had high hopes that Kohji would win all seven of the major shogi titles.

Seventeen years ago, [[Case from 17 years ago|he died under mysterious circumstances]] when in the United States participating in a chess tournament, a game he also enjoyed. [[Ai Haibara]] suggests that Kohji may have been murdered with [[APTX 4869]] since a person with the same name appeared on the list of people killed by the poison. It has been discovered that [[Rum]] may have been involved with his death due to the dying message missing letters that could be arranged to spell "ASACA RUM".

== Personality ==
Kohji's motto was {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}<ref name="file947">[[volume 89#Shukichi's Envelope Case|File 947: Motto (Volume 89)]]</ref>. The same motto was written on a fan that Shukichi now owns.

== Plot overview ==
=== Murdered Professor Case (Manga: [[volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|179]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case#Case 2: Murdered Professor Case|129]]) ===
[[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] remembers a list of people that the drug APTX 4869 was used on in the past. She says that all of the other [[APTX 4869]] victims were confirmed dead, except [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]. On that list was a name, {{nihongo|Kohji Haneda|羽田浩司}}, which was not relevant to the readers at the time.

[[File:AboutKohji.jpg|150px|thumb|right|Haibara asks Conan about Kohji.]]

=== Shukichi's Envelope Case (Manga: [[volume 89#Shukichi's Envelope Case|945-947]], Anime: [[849-850]]) ===
Kohji was mentioned by [[Shukichi Haneda|Shukichi]] to [[Yumi Miyamoto]] on the phone. Shukichi says that he respected Kohji, and Kohji's motto was "one should stick with one's original plan".

After Shukichi and Yumi's talk, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] asks [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] whether he knows the name Kohji Haneda. Conan answers that Kohji was a talented shogi player, but he died under mysterious circumstances when he went to the United States to participate in a chess tournament. Haibara recognizes the name Kohji Haneda as one that was on the [[list of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|list of people killed by APTX 4869]].

=== Kohji Haneda's Death Case (Manga: [[Volume 89#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|948]]-[[Volume 90#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|950]], Anime: TBA) ===
Conan investigates on the internet and finds that someone has been uploading [[Case from 17 years ago|information on Kohji's death]]. Kohji went to the United States to participate in a chess tournament seventeen years ago. The night before the tournament, he was attacked by someone and died at a hotel where he stayed. The room was ransacked, and he resisted. The cause of death is unknown. On the same day and at the same hotel as him, a wealthy person named [[Amanda Hughes]] died as well. She was a big fan of Kohji. Amanda's bodyguard, Asaka, went missing and still can't be found. Agasa reveals that a similar murder has happened recently so they put the investigation on hold. After Conan and Subaru solve that case, they decipher the meaning of the missing letters on the mirror of Kohji's room. Kohji's dying message from 17 years ago was "ASACA [[Rum|RUM]]", so Rum may be involved in their deaths.

Since the dying message was "P T O N", the answer to it must contain all of the missing letters of "U MASCARA" 
PUT ON MASCARA - P T ON = U MASCARA 
U MASCARA - ASACA (for Asaka) = U M R 
Which can be rearranged to make RUM 
making the answer "ASACA [[Rum|RUM]]"

=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|951-953]], Anime: TBA) ===
Kogoro is put in contact with a Soul Detective who wishes to reveal some information about the Kohji Haneda case. When Conan and Kogoro go to meet with him at a hotel they find him dead and that [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] and [[Mary]] have mysteriously moved in to the next hotel room. Both Masumi and Mary seem to react to Kohji's name when Kogoro says it.

=== Burning Tent Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume_93#Burning_Tent_Murder_Case|987-?]], Anime: TBA) ===

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Shukichi Haneda ===
Shukichi is a non-blood brother of Kohji, either by adoption, marriage, or some other means. Shukichi deeply respected him and likely changed one of his name characters slightly to honor Kohji.

=== Shuichi Akai ===
A relationship between Kohji and [[Shuichi Akai]] is unknown, but the case of Kohji's death made Shuichi an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent.<ref name="file948" />

=== Tsutomu Akai ===
[[Tsutomu Akai]] is related to Kohji's death.<ref name="file949">[[Volume 90#Kohji Haneda's Death Case|File 949: Sweet Scent (Volume 90)]]</ref>

=== Masumi Sera ===
[[Masumi Sera]] was very surprised when [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] said the name Kohji Haneda.<ref name="file952" />

=== Mary ===
[[Mary]] was very surprised when Kogoro said the name Kohji Haneda.<ref name="file952" />

== Name origin ==
Maybe the name {{nihongo|Kohji Haneda|羽田浩司|Haneda Kōji}} comes from {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:_Yoshiharu_Habu|Yoshiharu Habu]]|'''羽'''生善治|Habu Yoshiharu}} and {{nihongo|'''Kōji''' Tanigawa|谷川 '''浩司'''|Tanigawa Kōji}}, real-life shogi players.

{{nihongo|Shukichi Haneda|羽田秀𠮷|Haneda Shūkichi}} may have changed his name slightly to honor the late Kohji Haneda. Kohji's given name is {{lang|ja|浩司}}, and the first character's radicals are ({{lang|ja|氵ノ土口}}). {{lang|ja|土}} is earth's ''do''. Shukichi's given name is spelled {{lang|ja|秀𠮷}}, with the final "kichi" kanji also including the radical for earth's do. This 𠮷 for kichi is a very rare variant; 99% of the time kichi is written as {{lang|ja|吉}} with {{lang|ja|士}} (man/samurai's ''shi'') instead.

== Trivia ==
* In [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|episode 129]], ''[[wikipedia:Furigana|furigana]]'' (Japanese reading aid) of his surname is {{nihongo|2=ハダ|3=Hada}}.
* [[Gosho Aoyama]] mentioned there was "red herring" in [[Volume 18]]<ref>[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]</ref>, the same volume the list of [[APTX 4869]] victims appeared in.

'''{{nihongo|Shuichi Akai|赤井秀一|Akai Shūichi}}''' is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and a major figure in the battle against the [[Black Organization]]. He once assumed the identity of '''{{nihongo|Dai Moroboshi|諸星大|Moroboshi Dai}}''' and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename '''{{nihongo|Rye|ライ|Rai}}'''. During this time he made enemies with [[Gin]] and became romantically involved with [[Akemi Miyano]]. He is the older brother of [[Akai family's middle brother|the middle brother]] and [[Masumi Sera]].

== Background ==
[[File:Long haired Akai.PNG|thumb|160px|right|Shuichi as "Dai Moroboshi" during his infiltration of the Black Organization.]]
Shuichi Akai is an American of Japanese descent, originally from England, and is a member of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, on special assignment in Japan to capture [[Vermouth]]. His superior is [[James Black]] and his partner is [[Jodie Starling]].<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple 5</ref> He had infiltrated the Black Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi - and the codename "Rye" - as a mole<ref>Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past</ref> and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, to feed information to the FBI. In order to facilitate the latter, and later because he had genuinely developed feelings for Akemi, Shuichi saw himself forced to break up his then on-going relationship with Jodie.<ref>Manga Chapter 677: The Fated Individual</ref> Later on, his cover in the Black Organization was accidentally blown by his colleague [[Andre Camel]], and when Akemi was killed, he declared her murderer, [[Gin]] (with whom he seems to have had some tensions even before his exposure), his personal enemy.<ref>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

=== The Death of his father ===
17 years prior to the series, Shuichi's father got himself involved in the murder case of Koji Haneda and Amanda Hudges and disappeared. In his last message he instructed his family, Shuichi, his pregnant mother Mary and his younger brother Shukichi, to hide in Japan, but Shuichi, determent to uncover his father's incident, convinced his mother to let him study in America. After he left Japan, his younger sister Masumi was born. He didn't get to meet her before he return to Japan after seven years in the states, but Shukichi would send him pictures of her. After he had finish school, he joined the FBI.

=== Infiltration of the Black Organization ===
Five years prior to the current time-line, [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent Shuichi Akai infiltrated the [[Black Organization]] using the alias Dai Moroboshi as a mole and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, in order to meet [[Shiho Miyano]], a high-ranked member codenamed Sherry, 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. Shuichi distinguished himself as an agent and two years prior to the current time-line received the codename Rye and was called to work under executive agent [[Gin]]. The FBI laid a trap hoping to capture Gin at a warehouse where the meeting was supposed to take place,<ref name=599p9/> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>
He broke up with Akemi to project her and he lost contact with her after the mission to capture Gin failed. Two years later Akemi got killed by the organization to cut loose end.

== Personality ==
Shuichi is a tenacious but stoic agent. Even in personal matters, he remains cool, even detached, from anyone, but his redeeming value is a great sense of loyalty to anyone he knows. He is a skilled and relentless pursuer and detective, qualities which have labeled him the number one enemy of the [[Black Organization]] and earned him the nickname "[[Silver Bullet]]". He looks forward to opportunities to hunt the Black Organization down and get revenge for [[Akemi]]. While usually professional, he often acts independently of the FBI, and even his boss [[James Black]] has trouble getting ahold of him. Shuichi gets along well with Conan, who share many personality traits. Despite that he has American citizenship, he still considers England as his home country.

James Black says Shuichi is an introverted person who doesn't easily get close to people and he has become even more closed off since Akemi's death.<ref name=502p13>Manga Volume 49, File 2, page 13: "New Order"</ref> He doesn't often say what he is thinking. Shuichi has an unhealthy tendency to prioritize his missions above the emotional wellbeing of his friends, coworkers, family, and love interests.<ref>Shuichi's fake death, while preserving Kir and allowing her to pass info to the FBI, has caused significant dysfunction within the FBI who believe him to be truly dead. While Shuichi has been technically fulfilling the promise he made to look after Haibara's welfare as Okiya, he has executed it in such a way that Haibara was terrified of his presence and refused to be alone at the Agasa house when he was around.</ref> Conflict between his missions and the interests of those he cares about has lead to significant sorrow for him<ref>Shuichi didn't inform Akemi he was an FBI agent despite being in love because it might jeopardize his mission (and his relationship). Even though Akemi figured out Shuichi was an FBI agent and wished to leave the Organization and date him seriously, she kept it secret from him either because she was not sure how he would react, or because she thought it could cause him harm. Thus, the infiltration mission was the root cause of their secretkeeping which prevented them from coming up with an exit strategy for Akemi in case the mission failed. The following chain of events led to Akemi's death.</ref> and others.<ref>Shuichi's faked death to save Kir's mission and get her to pass information to the FBI as well demoralized the FBI, especially Jodie. Shuichi's infiltration mission required that he seduce Akemi even though he was dating Jodie at the time. When he fell in love with Akemi for real, Shuichi decided to break it off with Jodie. When justifying his decision to Jodie, he mentioned that he didn't want the onus of loving two women at once, but he also mentioned he thought the "sacrifice" was important to his mission to destroy the Black Organization. This implies that love was not the only factor in Shuichi's decision, he thought choosing Akemi over Jodie would help his mission -- perhaps because he was afraid he would be caught as a spy if anyone discovered his relationship with Akemi was fake. [http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=980&p=16431#p16431]</ref>

Shuichi prefers to plan secretly, and will readily trick his friends and coworkers, even injuring them, if helps the success of his missions.<ref>FBI vs Org, Shuichi didn't tell the rest of the FBI he would cover Kogoro's agency. In Red vs Black, the return Kir plan and the fake death plan were both kept secret from the FBI. He ordered Camel to remove by force if necessary anyone who interfered which resulted in Jodie being knocked out. He later told Kir to hit Camel for real to make her escape look authentic.</ref> Shuichi is often forgiven for these transgressions because his judgment is usually sound and his plans work out well.<ref>In FBI vs Org, Shuichi was forgiven for covering Kogoro without telling his boss and for making the decision on his own to let the Black Organization leave without much resistance because he thought it might lead to a dangerous firefight downtown. In Red vs Black, Shuichi was forgiven after being told off for hiding his secret plan to return Rena to the Org.</ref> Shuichi's secret plans, while strategically robust in the short term, often cause emotional problems for others that he does not fully appreciate.<ref>In particular, his faked death had a major impact on the FBI and [[Jodie Starling]]. [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] was able to take advantage of the emotional confusion surrounding his death to approach the FBI for his own ends. Jodie's sorrow has reduced her effectiveness and led her to blunder into dangerous situations.</ref>

Even though he means well, Shuichi is notably clumsy at trying to comfort and connect with others. He is especially dense at recognizing the motives behind the feelings of others and thus how to modify his own behavior to improve relations. As [[Subaru Okiya]], his technique to approach [[Ai Haibara]] leaves her terrified of him, and repeated contact only intensifies her loathing. Ten years ago, he was also cold to young Masumi on their first meeting, brushing Masumi's silly antics aside without realizing that she simply wanted him to smile and treat her kindly, though he most likely was simply in a bad mood, since he just had an intense argument with his mother, in which they traded physical blows, because of his plan to join the FBI after his studies to pursue the case of his father and because he had lied to her about that. Later that day, during the investigation of a case, Shuichi gives both Shinichi and Ran a task to help with the investigation, so Masumi approaches Shuichi shyly and asks for a task as well. Now Shuichi responds kindly and gives her a task that makes her feel important. 
Despite his social awkwardness, Shuichi is not unempathetic; he gives Jodie some hope by leaving her a message in his own handwriting, and leaves her a very roundabout hint about his identity after knocking her down even though he cannot reveal the truth to her yet. Eventually he also realized that Masumi was looking up to him, so he began to send her videos of him doing Jeet Kune Do.

== Appearance ==
Shuichi is a tall man of Japanese descent with short wavy hair. His trademark features, by which people close to him have identified him are his eyes which have permanent bags underneath them that make him appear sleep deprived. Other characters often describe him as evil eyed or having a sharp gaze. His eyes are blue in the manga (like every other character) and green in the anime. He and [[Masumi Sera]] presumably more closely resemble their mother then their father.
The second trademark feature is his knit cap, which he is always shown wearing. When he was younger he had a grey fedora which Masumi now wears herself. Up to one year ago, he had very long waist length hair, which he cut after the death of Akemi Miyano "to freshen up." Shuichi is left-handed. He is a heavy smoker and his favorite drink is bourbon.

His outfit is a grey jacket on top of a collared black shirt, black pants, shoes, and his trademark black knit cap.

== Abilities ==
=== Intelligence ===
[[File:783-5.jpg|thumb|Conan ft. Shuichi]]


Shuichi is capable of thinking on par with Conan. He once set up a sniper ambush at a nearby building, knowing that the Black Organization will come and try to kill Kogoro. He also mentioned that he knew that "making them think the FBI set up the transmitter was the priority."<ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref>

=== Firearms and Sniping ===
[[File:The Scarlet Return-Shooting Shuichi.jpg|thumb|left|Shuichi aiming with a Glock]]
Shuichi, is the most capable sniper shown so far, to the point of shooting a small piece of gum out of Gin's hand from about 700 yards away, which is a lot more than the range of Black Organization's professional snipers [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]. He also managed to get a shot on Gin from the same distance.<ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref>
Shuichi is good at handling shotguns as well; he accurately shot Vermouth from the hip faster than she could aim at him with her subcompact pistol.
He is a sharpshooter with a handgun as well, capable of busting a moving car's tire from a speeding car with just a single shot.<ref>Manga Volume 85 File 4 Page 5</ref>

Shuichi uses Calvados' SPAS-12 shotgun to bring down Vermouth, an Arctic Warfare Magnum sniper rifle to shoot Gin, and [[Rikumichi Kusuda]]'s Glock pistol to disable Rei's subordinates.

Akai is unusual in that he is "eye-bidextrous" while shooting. Like hands and feet, most individuals have a dominant eye they prefer to use when lining up a shot, but Shuichi is shown using both eyes at different times.<ref>Left eye for shooting Vermouth in New York, left eye for sniping Gin in Black Impact, Right eye for shooting Rei's subordinates' car in Scarlet Showdown.</ref>

=== Driving ===
Shuichi is a skilled driver. He can overtake many cars quickly in heavy traffic conditions and drift around a u-turn.<ref name=420p14>Manga Volume 41, File 7, page 14: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net" </ref> He drove a [[Cars|Chevrolet C1500]] which was later bombed by Rena.

=== Martial Arts ===
Shuichi is also a highly proficient hand-to-hand combatant. Having extensive skill and knowledge of Jeet Kune Do, he taught his sister Sera much, who openly acknowledges him to still be much stronger than her.<ref>Episode 744</ref>

===Cooking===
[[File:783-4.jpg|thumb|Jodie and Camel are shocked to learn that Shuichi can cook]]
Shuichi learned how to cook thanks to [[Yukiko Kudo]].<ref>[[The Scarlet Return]]</ref>

===Disguise===
Shuichi is able to do a proper disguise thanks to Yukiko Kudo and equipment from [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]].

=== Timeline ===
{{main|Shuichi Akai timeline}}

==Movies==

===Movie 18: [[Dimensional Sniper]]===
Shuichi appeared in this movie as [[Subaru Okiya]]. At first he is seen watching the detective boys testing Professor Agasa's invention. Later after [[Masumi Sera]] gets shot, he is seen leaving the hospital, where she is hospitalized. After that he is seen involving himself in the sniper investigation. He is the one who shoot the suspect at the last part . We can see too that he turn off his voice changer and said to [[James Black|James]] {{nihongo|"Roger"|了解|ryōkai}} as signal that it's already finished.

===Movie 20: [[The Darkest Nightmare]]===

== Speculation ==
[[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.

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

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Akemi Miyano ====
{{main|Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano}}
Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano were lovers while he was infiltrating the [[Black Organization]]. Shuichi's original mission was to date Akemi Miyano in order to meet Shiho Miyano. Shuichi used Shiho's influence to gain rank in the Organization, intending to become trusted enough to meet with high level agents so the FBI could capture one for questioning. As [[James Black]] later recalls, although Shuichi's relationship with Akemi was merely a stepping stone, Shuichi actually fell in love with Akemi, and considered her his real girlfriend. Because of this he broke up with [[Jodie Starling]].

[[File:Akemi's Text Message.jpg|thumb|right|250px|The last text message Akemi had sent Shuichi, before her death.]]
Sometime later, Akemi develops the suspicion that Shuichi really wasn't who he claimed to be. After Shuichi's expulsion, he confirms that he is an FBI agent to her. To Shuichi's surprise, Akemi doesn't seemed surprised by this, so Shuichi asks her why she never said anything about her suspicions that she was being used by him before, and Akemi hints it is because she loves him. Initially, the Organization couldn't do anything about Akemi because they needed the loyalty of her sister, but two years later they decided that the risk of her contact with Shuichi was too much. They decided to create a situation where they could eliminate her by having her do a bank heist she was supposed to fail. Sometime near the day of the heist, Akemi sent Shuichi a long text message, asking him if he wants to be her real boyfriend when she is finally free from the Organization. After the heist, Akemi is killed by [[Gin]], and it is unknown how Shuichi responded if at all. Shuichi treasures her final text message, and keeps it in his phone many months after Akemi's death. The message also contains a P.S. which has not been revealed yet.

How Akemi and Shuichi met in the manga is unknown, but in the anime, Shuichi Akai originally met Akemi by an intentional accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he deliberately walked into the street in front of her in order to be hit by her.<ref>Episode 497</ref> Akemi was concerned, and helped take him to the hospital, watching over him until he was better. When he woke up, he felt no anger over what she did, and even asked for her name, to which a very flustered Akemi replied, while he told her his fake name: Dai Moroboshi. After this they began dating.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
While Jodie and Shuichi's relationship had been viewed as mere colleagues, it is revealed later on in the series that Jodie and Shuichi had dated before about 5 years prior. However, after Shuichi infiltrated the Black Organization under the alias of Dai Moroboshi, he started dating Akemi Miyano in hopes of using her to attain information about the Black Organization. Despite this, Shuichi ended up falling in love with Akemi, leading him to break up with Jodie, stating that, "To be able to love two women at the same time…it's not that handy a personality."<ref name="677p5">Manga [[Volume 65]], File 3 (677), pg 5: "The fated individual"</ref> In spite of the break-up, Jodie still held strong feelings for Shuichi which never wavered as time passed and took his apparent death at Kir's hands especially hard, to the point of being reduced to tears.

====James Black====
[[James Black]] is the boss of the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agents in Japan and therefore the boss of Shuichi. He was the only FBI agent to know that Shuichi was alive, but only because he saw the glue on Shuichi's fingers and would have otherwise also been kept in the dark.

====Andre Camel====
[[Andre Camel]] worked with Shuichi Akai before when he was an agent in the [[Black Organization]]. Camel was involved in the plan to capture Gin two years ago, but he gave away the plan of the FBI when he saw a member of the organization disguised as an old man. Because of this, Shuichi's identity became known to the Organization. However, Shuichi does not seem to bear a grudge against Camel but worked together well. Camel is willing to help Akai in any way he can to redeem for his mistake.

==== Ai Haibara ====
When Haibara first met Shuichi, she thought he was a member of the Black Organization. Shuichi seems to know of Haibara's identity. Haibara knows him as Dai Moroboshi, her sister's boyfriend who betrayed the Organization.<ref>Manga Chapter 802</ref> Haibara should know Dai was a spy and FBI agent, after hearing an exchange between Bourbon and Kaitou Kid through a microphone<ref>Manga Chapter 824,[http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b40277b84692b54c491654534be7ccf/tumblr_mpc528w9hS1qfn9zio1_r1_500.png]</ref>, but she does not know him by the name Shuichi Akai. During his time in the organization he became acquatained with Haibara, while she was still known as Shiho Miyano, through Akemi and make use of it to slip into the organization. He made a promise with Akemi to look after Haibara's welfare.<ref>Manga [[Volume 77]], Files 3-5 (809-811)</ref>
She doesn't know that it was because of the relationship between Akai and her sister, that got her sister killed.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
Shuichi and Conan get along well and are capable of thinking on par with one another. In the short time they have worked together, Shuichi has come to respect Conan's intellect and deductive skills and speaks to him professionally. After FBI had capture Kir, he asked who Conan was, hinting that he suspected that there was more to Conan that meets the eyes. He is also aware that [[Conan]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]] are really one and the same person <ref>Manga [[Volume 77]], File 813 p.16 and File 814 p.3 </ref>. There is further speculation amongst fans that Shuichi has figured out that Ai was formerly Sherry and (more than likely) learned about her research for the Black Organization and the two possible effects of [[APTX 4869]].

==== Masumi Sera ====
[[Masumi Sera]] is Shuichi's younger sister. Masumi wasn't born yet, when Shuichi went to America to study. So they first got to meet each other, when Masumi was seven. It's indicated at Shuichi cares for his sister. During the mystery train case, when Masumi was knocked out by Vermouth and hidden in her room, Shuichi (disguised as Subaru) carried her back to her own room. As he was about to leave he overheard her calling out 'Shuu-nii' in her sleep, which made him smile. And in the movie [[Dimensional Sniper]] he (as Subaru) was seen leaving the hospital, where Masumi was hospitalized after getting shot, hinting that he was visiting her, while she was unconscious and left a bouquet in her room, which Ran and Sonoko finds.

[[Mary|Shuichi's mother]] hoped that Shuichi would become a father figure to Masumi to replace their missing biological father. While Masumi was growing up, Shuichi would send her training tapes of Jeet Kune Do that she could practice after.

=== Black Organization ===

==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}
Shuichi Akai and Gin are rivals and hate one another. It is implied that they didn't get along even before Shuichi was exposed as an undercover FBI agent. Shuichi refers to Gin as "Koibito", which ironically means 'lover.' Gin killed Shuichi's love Akemi, so Shuichi thinks of Gin as his archenemy.

==== Bourbon ====
Shuichi Akai and [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] are stated to be enemies. It's been stated that Bourbon hated Shuichi more than Gin did. Bourbon believed himself to be the only one capable of killing Shuichi, and refused to believe that Shuichi was dead. Shuichi feels neutral toward Bourbon, saying that he is not someone that he wants as an enemy.

Bourbon's hate of Shuichi is explained in the manga: Between four years ago and two years ago, Shuichi was found by Bourbon, standing over Scotch's dead body holding a smoking gun. Ever since then Rei has blamed Shuichi and has sought out to kill him. In reality, Shuichi tried to stop Scotch from commiting suicide, but Scotch pulled the trigger on himself because he thought that his undercover operations were found out. To protect Scotch's secrets, Shuichi made it look as if he had killed him.

=== Unknown relationships ===
==== Kohji Haneda ====
A relationship between Shuichi and [[Kohji Haneda]] is unknown, but [[Volume 89#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|the case of Kohji's death]] made Shuichi an FBI agent.<ref name="file948">[[volume 89#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|File 948: The Clenched Scissors (Volume 89)]]</ref>

== Character popularity ==
* eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Shuichi placed 12th in the poll with 53 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結果|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

* In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Shuichi placed 7th overall with 415 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Akai.gif|image|right|thumb|Gosho Aoyama draws Shuichi as half of Char on his website]]
Akai's name comes from the [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] character [[wikipedia:Char Aznable|Char Aznable]], whose nickname was the {{nihongo|"Red Comet"|'''赤い'''彗星|'''Akai''' Suisei}}, and Char's voice actor [[Shuichi Ikeda|'''Shuichi''' Ikeda]] (who is also Akai's voice actor). Additionally, his alias, Dai Moroboshi, comes from Char's real name, Casval Rem '''Deikun''' (sounds like '''Dai-kun''' in Japanese). '''Moroboshi''' can also mean ''falling star'', another possible allusion to ''Red Comet''.<ref>In Moroboshi (諸星), the first kanji can be broken up into 言者 which when pronounced as げんしゃ (gensha) sounds very similar to the word for "phenomenon" (genshou). The second character (星) means "star". Moroboshi, read as "Star phenomenon" references falling stars or maybe comets. </ref>

== Trivia ==
* Shuichi is left-handed.
* Shuichi is a Jeet Kune Do practitioner who is three times stronger than [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]]. The three times is, again, a reference of Char's mobile suits being three times stronger than normal suits.
* Shuichi Akai's voice actor, [[Shuichi Ikeda]], is the real-life husband of [[Akemi Miyano]]'s voice actress, [[Sakiko Tamagawa]].

== Plot overview ==
[[File:Bourbon and Akai covered in blood.jpg|x120px|thumb|right|Shuichi has a flashback to himself and Bourbon covered in blood.]]
=== Scarlet Epilogue (Manga: [[Volume 85|898]]; Anime: [[The Scarlet Return|783]]) ===
Scotch was first mentioned in Manga file 898. During the final part of the Scarlet arc [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] speaks to [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] on the phone and says "About him, I regret what happened. Even now...". In the Epilogue Shuichi mentions that Bourbon's grudge may be more deeply rooted than he thought. He has a brief flashback to himself and Bourbon covered in blood. During Bourbon and [[Vermouth]]'s conversation, she mentions a male infiltrator from the [[Public Security Bureau]] (PSB) who had been killed before they could figure out his name. Bourbon tells her that his code name was "Scotch".

[[File:Scotch flashback on platform.jpg|x120px|thumb|left|Masumi remembers meeting a man nicknamed Scotch]]
=== Girls Band (Manga: [[Volume 88|937-938]]; Anime: [[The Unfriendly Girls Band|836-837]]) ===
[[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] has a flashback to 4 years ago where she saw her brother [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] on a train platform with another man. At that time, Masumi thought that Shuichi was supposed to be in America so she approached them. Shuichi told her to go away but she made the excuse that she did not have the money to get home. While Shuichi went to go buy her a ticket, the other man pulled a guitar out of the case on his back and taught her some notes. Before Shuichi returned, a third man that looks like [[Rei Furuya]] came over and called the other man "Scotch". Masumi believed this to be a nickname rather than an indication of his race because the man looked very Japanese.

Masumi reveals to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and Rei that her older brother Shuichi Akai is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent. Sonoko then enquirers if her brother's friend might be an FBI agent as well but Masumi denies this possibility by saying that he must have been a friend that Shuichi was meeting with while on vacation. Rei thinks to himself that Scotch was a member of the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department Public Security Bureau]] and that Shuichi was the one responsible for his death.

[[File:Akai kills Scotch.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Shuichi shoots Scotch]]

=== Bourbon's Mission (Manga: [[Volume 90#Bourbon's Mission|954-957]]; Anime: TBA) ===
A flashback from [[Rei Furuya]] occurs while he is daydreaming while driving around with [[Vermouth]]. He runs up the external staircase of a building while thinking of Scotch's words "I'm sorry Furuya, my PSB identity has been seen through by those people...it seems like the only route of retreat left is to the other world...goodbye Rei(Zero)". At the top of the building he finds Shuichi standing over Scotch's corpse holding a smoking gun and saying "Traitors...should be punished accordingly...right?". He wakes up to Vermouth telling them they need to pry information out of a target and then destroy them in one swoop.

Later Conan, Subaru, Ran, and Sonoko run into "Amuro" and Azusa, who Conan thinks is Vermouth, while trying to meet up with a musician who has some connection to a [[Rum]] case from [[Volume 90#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|17 years ago]]. Rei speaks directly to Subaru, who he doesn't realize is Shuichi in disguise due to [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|Scarlet Showdown]]. Conan reacts to them casually chatting and tells Subaru that they need to leave, but he doesn't want to. The group finds that the musician is already dead. At the end of the musician case it's revealed that Scotch's death was actually a suicide, as he tried to shoot himself to the chest where the bullet would have destroyed his phone where sensitive data is held.

Both Shuichi Akai and ironically, Rei (Bourbon/ Amuro) played an indirect role in his drive to suicide. Being cornered by Akai, who was still undercover at the time, and without realizing his FBI affiliation, Scotch was forced to commit suicide. But as he was about to do finish the act, Akai revealed his true identity and motive, managing to prevent the death. However, in that moment, Rei's hurried footsteps were heard, and both Akai and Scotch took that as approaching Black members. Scotch used Akai's distraction to pull the trigger, as Rei arrived at the scene after Akai retrieved the gun from Scotch's hand.
{{clear}}

== Relationships analysis ==
=== [[Rei Furuya]] ===
Rei seems to have a strong attachment to Scotch and blames Shuichi for his death. His resentment is strong enough to continue chasing after Shuichi, even after he was told that Shuichi had been killed.

=== [[Shuichi Akai]] ===
Shuichi has been on at least one mission inside the Black Organization with Scotch. The mission involved rifles inside bass guitar cases. During a later time, he is found standing over Scotch's bullet ridden corpse while holding a handgun.
