<p>FilipCoric: </p> <hr /> <div>'''{{nihongo|Detective Conan|名探偵コナン|Meitantei Konan, lit. Great Detective Conan}}''' is a Japanese detective [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[Gosho Aoyama]]. It has been serialized in the Japanese manga anthology ''[[Magazines#Weekly Shōnen Sunday|Weekly Shōnen Sunday]]'' since 1994 and has been collected in seventy-four [[Glossary|Tankōbon]] volumes as of December 14th, 2011. <br /> <br /> The manga has been adapted into an anime series by the animation studio [[Studios#TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsha]], directed by [[Kenji Kodama]] and [[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]], and is broadcast in Japan on [[TV Networks#Nippon Television Network Corporation|Nippon Television]], [[TV Networks#Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation|Yomiuri TV]] and [[TV Networks#Animax|Animax]]. The series debuted on January 8th, 1996 and has since broadcast 586 episodes as of September 4th, 2010. The series has seen high levels of popularity in both manga and anime formats in Japan since its reception, and has also been adapted into fifteen [[Glossary|Golden Week]] movies, with the first released on April 17th, 1997 and since then followed with a movie released each year. Ten of the movies held a top 10 box office position in the year they were screened. In addition, four [[OVAs#Magic_Files|Magic Files]] related to the movies and eleven [[OVAs|Original Video Animations]] have been released.<br /> <br /> ==Story summary==<br /> <br /> [[Image:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]<br /> The story follows the adventures of [[Shinichi Kudo]] (also known as Jimmy Kudo in Case Closed), a young detective prodigy who was inadvertently shrunk into a child's body due to a [[APTX 4869|poison]] he was force-fed by members of a [[Black Organization|criminal syndicate]]. Neighbor and family friend [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] strongly suggested Shinichi hide his identity to prevent them from killing him and the people he cares about, so Shinichi takes the name [[Conan Edogawa]]. He goes to live with his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], and tries to use Kogoro's detective agency as a way to find the people who shrank him — without letting Ran figure out who he really is.<br /> <br /> ==Case Closed==<br /> {{InfoBox Country<br /> | country = USA<br /> | image = Case Closed logo.png<br /> | language = English<br /> | continent = North America, Europe, and Australia <br /> | episode = 130<br /> | volume = 44<br /> | publisher = Viz Media<br /> }}<br /> Detective Conan is known as &quot;Case Closed&quot; in North America. The name &quot;''Case Closed''&quot; results from concerns of copyright conflict of the name ''Detective Conan''.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2004-02-05/funimation-renames-conan|accessdate=2008-08-18|publisher=Anime News Network|date=2007-10-09|title=FUNimation renames Conan}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Viz Media]] licensed the manga series under the name for English-language publication in North America and released forty-one volumes as of January 10th, 2012. [[Funimation Entertainment]] also licensed the anime series for North American broadcast under the name ''Case Closed''. The character names were also adapted into English ones with some names different between the two. Fifty episodes of the English dubbed series aired on [[TV Networks#Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as part of their [[TV Networks#Adult Swim|Adult Swim]] programming block on May 24th, 2004 until January 2005 and were discontinued due to low ratings.&lt;ref name=&quot;Adult Swim Anime Plans&quot;&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-01-22/adult-swim-anime-plans|title=Adult Swim Anime Plans|publisher=Anime News Network|accessdate=May 5, 2009}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> Two years later, Funimation made the series available, airing it on Colours TV during its syndication with the Funimation Channel. As of 2011, only 130 episodes (episodes 1-123 Japanese version) have been dubbed in English. Though anime was not so popular in North America, the manga enjoys high success. Volume 36 appeared in the ''[[wikipedia:New York Times Manga Best Sellers|New York Times Manga Best Sellers]]'' list during the week ending on October 24th, 2010. The manga continues to be released in North America, though it trails the Japanese publishing by about 30 volumes.<br /> <br /> ==Critical reception==<br /> <br /> The series has been well received in Japan, with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in [[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]'s polls between 1996 until 2000, where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, Detective Conan often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. The English adaption has not been as equally popular as in Japan, and has been criticized for the name changes. However, the manga still is enough of a success that it is continues being published. <br /> <br /> The series is successful in Asia and Europe, where some countries translated most of the episodes and volumes. Due to the high popularity DC is re-broadcasting in many countries after the original premieres. <br /> <br /> == Demographic ==<br /> <br /> Even though Detective Conan is a [[Glossary|Shōnen]], its audience is composed of a substantial proportion of female viewers and readers. The series also seems to attract all ages.<br /> <br /> == Appearances in other media ==<br /> [[File:Future_Detective_Conan_the_Great.png|250px|thumb|right|Detective Conan cameo in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]<br /> [[File:DCinInuyasha.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Detective Conan in Inuyasha episode 128]]<br /> Besides his anime and manga appearances, Conan is the protagonist for all the movies and the video games based on the Case Closed series.

He once assumed the identity of '''{{nihongo|Dai Moroboshi|諸星 大|Moroboshi Dai}}''' and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename '''{{nihongo|Rye|ライ}}'''. During this time he made enemies with [[Gin]] and [[Bourbon]] and became romantically involved with [[Akemi Miyano]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Shuichi Akai is an American of Japanese descent and member of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, on special assignment in Japan to capture [[Vermouth]]. His superior is [[James Black]] and his partner is [[Jodie Starling]].&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple 5&lt;/ref&gt; He had infiltrated the Black Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi - and the codename &quot;Rye&quot; - as a mole&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past&lt;/ref&gt; and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, to feed information to the FBI. In order to facilitate the latter, and later because he had genuinely developed feelings for Akemi, Akai saw himself forced to break up his then on-going relationship with Jodie.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 677: The Fated Individual&lt;/ref&gt; 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.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Infiltration of the Black Organization ===<br /> Five years prior to the current time-line, [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the [[Black Organization]] using the alias Dai Moroboshi as a mole and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, in order to meet [[Shiho Miyano]] and use her influence to get into the Black Organization.&lt;ref name=599p9&gt;Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: &quot;Akai's Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Although at first he was simply using Akemi as a tool, they both fell in love with each other. Akai distinguished himself as an agent and two years prior to the current time-line received the codename Rye and was called to work under executive agent [[Gin]]. The FBI laid a trap hoping to capture Gin at a warehouse where the meeting was supposed to take place,&lt;ref name=599p9/&gt; but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.&lt;ref name=599p10&gt;Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: &quot;Akai's Past&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Akai is a very professional 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 &quot;Silver Bullet&quot;. He looks forward to opportunities to hunt the Black Organization down and get revenge for Akemi. He also acts somewhat independently among the FBI and even his boss James Black has trouble getting ahold of him.<br /> <br /> James Black says Akai is an introverted person who doesn't easily get close to people and he has become even more closed off since Akemi's death.&lt;ref name=502p13&gt;Manga Volume 49, File 2, page 13: &quot;New Order&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He doesn't often say what he is thinking. Akai does seem to get along well with Conan.<br /> <br /> == Abilities ==<br /> === Intelligence ===<br /> &lt;!-- case solving ability will go here--&gt;<br /> Akai is capable of thinking on par with Conan. He once set up a sniper ambush at a nearby building, knowing that the Black Organization will come and try to kill Kogoro. He also mentioned that he knew that &quot;making them think the FBI set up the transmitter was the priority.&quot; &lt;ref&gt;Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Sniping ===<br /> Akai is shown to be very capable at sniping, to the point of shooting a small piece of gum out of Gin's hand from about 700 yards away. He also managed to get a shot on Gin from the same distance. &lt;ref&gt;Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Driving ===<br /> Akai is a skilled driver. He can overtake many cars quickly in heavy traffic conditions and drift around a u-turn.&lt;ref name=420p14&gt;Manga Volume 41, File 7, page 14: &quot;The Enclosing Surrounding Net&quot; &lt;/ref&gt; He drives a Chevrolet C1500.<br /> <br /> == Plot overview ==<br /> === Bus Jack (Manga: [[Volume_29#Bus_Hijacking_Case|287-289]], Anime: [[The Mysterious Passenger|230-231]]) ===<br /> [[File:Akai First Appearance.PNG|thumb|right|125px|Akai's first appearance on the bus]]<br /> [[Conan]], [[Agasa]], and the [[Detective Boys]] board a bus headed to a ski resort. Akai gets on the bus wearing a face mask in order to tail [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Vermouth]] who is disguised as Dr. [[Tomoaki Araide]]. The bus is hijacked by robbers demanding their boss be freed from prison and Conan discovers they must have an accomplice in the back row where Shuichi Akai is sitting. Akai becomes a suspect. After the boss is freed, the robbers call Akai and Araide up to the front to put on the hijackers' ski jackets. Conan ruins the hijackers' plans by directing the bus driver to slam on the brakes, sending the hijackers crashing to the floor. Akai keeps his footing and goes to attack one of the hijackers but is confused when the robber faceplants before he could strike: Conan's tranquilizer dart got him first. The police move in to apprehend the hijackers and Akai watches as Araide accosts Conan for wanting to leave before having the gash on his arm tended. Before moving out, Akai records a message saying he couldn't find Vermouth's target, [[Shiho Miyano]].&lt;ref&gt;It is clear Akai is looking for Shiho Miyano, Vermouth's target, because the FBI already know Araide is Vermouth at this point in time and don't need to look for her.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === James Black Kidnapping (Manga: [[Volume_32#Kidnapped_Tourist_Case|325-327]], Anime: [[The Man from Chicago|258-259]]) ===<br /> [[File:Akai's happy face.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Akai leers at the kidnappers.&lt;!-- It's super effective! --&gt;]]<br /> [[James Black]] plans to meet with Akai in a stadium lobby after the Paul &amp; Annie animal circus show. He was unable to meet with Akai at first because he was accosted by reporters thinking he was the show's wealthy sponsor and dragged away from them by the Detective Boys. Akai and James probably haven't met in a while because James doesn't know Akai cut his previously waist length hair. James is then mistakenly kidnapped by criminals who plan to ransom him. Akai, looking for James Black, drives past the Detective Boys. A prior member of the Black Organization, Akai's gaze triggers Haibara's senses, and she whips around asking if Conan saw who was driving the Chevrolet truck. <br /> <br /> Somehow, Akai figures out where James is and catches up to the kidnappers' fake police car and begins following it. Akai quickly zooms ahead when Conan and the police arrange for an army of police cars to box in the kidnappers' car to force it to stop. Akai drives by Agasa's car and looks in, and Conan shields Haibara from his view. In the confusion of the aftermath, James leaves with Akai before he could be questioned by police. James retells the events of the kidnapping and asks if Akai brought him to Japan to &quot;make (Akai's) lover come back to (Akai)&quot; Akai affirms this and says that he wants &quot;his lover (koibito) to regret they ever left me with tears of blood.&quot;&lt;ref name=327p18&gt;Manga Volume 32, File 10, page 18: &quot;A Stupid Plan&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;. Akai's &quot;lover&quot; is a reference to the ironic codename he gave Gin: &quot;koibito&quot; meaning lover. He later makes Gin cry the foretold tears of blood when Akai's bullet grazes Gins cheek in the events of &quot;Black Impact&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Conan's suspicion and Ran's memory ===<br /> Conan suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the director's morning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. After the bus jack, [[Haibara]] tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is Shuichi Akai whose behavior seemed suspicious.&lt;ref name=291p11&gt;Manga Volume 29, File 7, page 11: &quot;A Tiny Trace&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Conan recognizes Akai in the James Black kidnapping case.&lt;ref name=P&amp;A&gt;Manga Volume 32, File 9-11: &quot;The Man from Chicago&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of Akai investigating them when one of the suspects says he saw someone wearing a black beanie (really [[Makoto]]).&lt;ref name=332p15&gt;Manga Volume 33, File 4, Page 15: &quot;The Bloody Valentine 2&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; <br /> <br /> ==== Sato's Matchup (Manga: [[Volume_32#Sato.27s_Omiai_Case|328]]-[[Volume_33#Sato.27s_Omiai_Case|330]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 4|253-254]]) and Bloody Valentine (Manga: [[Volume_33#Valentine_Chocolate_Case|331-334]], Anime: [[The Truth Behind Valentine's|266-268]]) ====<br /> Ran notices Akai leave the restaurant where [[Miwako Sato]] was having her [[Wikipedia:Miai|miai]] with officer [[Shiratori]]. Akai had come to check on on Dr. Araide who is really Vermouth in disguise. Ran realizes she met him somewhere once before, but she cannot remember where.&lt;ref name=329p14&gt;Manga Volume 33, File 1, page 14: &quot;Satou's Odds&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Later, at a chocolate-making cottage, one of the suspects says he shot at a tall man wearing a black beanie thinking he was a bear. Ran says she might know the person in the black knitted hat and Conan wonders if she means Akai.&lt;ref name=333p2&gt;Manga Volume 33, File 5, Page 2: &quot;The Bloody Valentine 3&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; He later starts to ask her about it, but changes his mind mid-sentence.&lt;ref name=337p17&gt;Manga Volume 33, File 9, Page 17: &quot;Life of a Flower&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==== The Life of a Flower (Manga: [[Volume_33#Missing_Watch_Case|335-337]], Anime: [[The Forgotten Memento from the Crime|269-270]]) ====<br /> [[Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.&lt;ref name=336p9&gt;Manga Volume 33, File 8, pages 9-10: &quot;Clean Scent&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; Conan begins to wonder who the target is and first suspects Akai may be behind the incident because of the timing. Akai stakes out the Mouri Detective Agency.&lt;ref name=337p18&gt;Manga Volume 33, File 9, Page 18: &quot;Life of a Flower&quot;&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === The Rotten Apple Case (Manga: [[Volume_34#Golden_Apple_Case|350]]-[[Volume_35#Golden_Apple_Case|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]]) ===<br /> [[Image:Shuuichi_Akai_long_hair.jpg|thumb|right|210|Shuichi Akai in New York.]] One year prior to the current timeline, Shinichi, Ran, [[Yukiko]], Akai, and Vermouth are in America. After leaving Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran at the theater, Sharon Vineyard, aka, Vermouth, disguises as a silver haired serial killer to lure out Shuichi Akai and kill him. Vermouth underestimates Akai and he shoots her in the side. Vermouth escapes, but Akai continues to look for her. During the search, Akai encounters a crying Ran who is waiting in the rain by a taxi for Shinichi to return. The taxi driver and Ran both initially mistake Akai for the serial killer, and the taxi drives off leaving Ran behind. Akai asks Ran if she saw a man with long silver hair. One of Akai's colleagues comes up to ask Akai if he found the serial killer and Ran sees the FBI logo on his jacket. Akai grabs her elbow to take her from the area, but she resists because Shinichi is still around. Akai harshly orders Ran to leave the area as it is dangerous.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 354: Golden Apple 5&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Meeting with Ran (Manga: [[Volume_37#Footsteps_of_Darkness|379-380]], Anime: [[The Dark Footprint|308]]-[[Contact with the Black Organization|309]]) ===<br /> [[File:Ran_and_Akai_meet.jpg|thumb|right|Ran and Akai meet coincidentally in the street.]]Conan and Ran are walking home from the Itakura case. Ran talks to Conan about how it is hard waiting for Shinichi to return and begins to cry. They approach a phone booth and Akai steps out. Ran and Akai recognize one another. <br /> {{Cquote|Akai: You are crying again... You are always crying.&lt;br /&gt;Ran: Is it wrong?&lt;br /&gt;Akai: No. ... I was just remembering. You remind me of a woman... One who was always crying in the dark trying to sound casual, a stupid woman.|The conversation between Akai and Ran at the phonebooth|Manga Chapter 380: &quot;White Snow, Black Shadow&quot;}}<br /> Conan is surprised Ran and Akai seem to know each other and asks Ran who Akai is. Ran replies with the story of her meeting with Akai in New York. She mentions she saw him with a man with in an FBI jacket. Akai has walked away in the meanwhile and Conan loses sight of him. Conan is surprised at this new information and wonders what the FBI could be doing in Japan. He also considers the possibility that Shuichi Akai is a Black Organization spy in the FBI and killed the serial killer in New York and might be involved with Haibara's past.<br /> <br /> === Seeing Haibara and tailing the Detective Boys ===<br /> ==== Contact with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume_38#Footsteps_of_Darkness|383]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|311]]) ====<br /> Haibara finds Conan passed out in a locker at Kenbashi Station. As they leave, Akai sees Haibara close up and immediately recognizes her. Akai's focus caused Haibara to sense his presence and she spins around in fear, but he has already retreated and she doesn't catch sight of him.<br /> <br /> ==== Following Yukiko (Manga: [[Volume_41#Dark_and_Cluttered_Room_Case|417-419]], Anime [[Secret of the Tohto Film Development Studio|335-336]]) ====<br /> Shuichi Akai, suspicious that Haibara is Shiho, asks two people (possibly [[Fusae Campbell#Connection with Shuichi Akai|Fusae Campbell and Billy]]) to follow [[Yukiko]] who is driving the Detective Boys to a film studio to see a preview showing of [[Kamen Yaiba]]. The two people take several pictures, one of which Akai keeps in his truck after this. Conan and Yukiko notice the two are following. They continue to wait in the film developer's parking lot until Takagi asks them if they have been drinking at Conan's request. They report to Akai that they are unable to follow any more. Akai looks at the newly developed pictures they gave to him and he thinks Haibara's resemblance to Shiho Miyano is too similar to ignore.<br /> <br /> ==== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume_41#Four_Porsches_Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ====<br /> While driving, Akai sees Conan on TV broadcast waiting in line to get porridge. He quickly heads towards the direction of the shopping center where Conan is. When he arrives, a murder had already been committed in the underground parking lot and the police have arrived. Agasa calls Araide to pick up Haibara, and Akai overhears the conversation through the bugs planted in Araide's office. He follows Jodie and Araide to Agasa's house and waits out front listening in to the bugs Jodie just planted at Agasa's.<br /> <br /> === Showdown with Vermouth (Manga: [[Volume_42#Halloween_Party_Case|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===<br /> [[File:Akai with shotgun.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Akai shoots Vermouth to protect himself and Jodie]]<br /> Conan and Jodie confront Vermouth and reveal her disguise. During the confrontation, Jodie is shot by [[Calvados]], a sniper who was hidden on some shipping crates. Calvados also attempts to shoot Ran who rushed to Haibara in order to shield her from the gunfire. Akai, unseen, sneaks from behind and disables Calvados, silently breaking both his legs and taking his rifle, shotgun, and three pistols. Akai walks around the shipping crates towards Jodie and Vermouth's location. Vermouth mistakes the incoming footsteps for Calvados and orders him to kill Jodie. Vermouth is shocked when it is Akai who walks into view. Akai tauntingly comments that [[Calvados]], a liquor made from apples, matches Vermouth's FBI codename &quot;Rotten Apple&quot;. Provoked by his remark, Vermouth attempts to shoot him, but Akai fires the shotgun first into her flak jacket, breaking several of her ribs and tearing Vermouth's face slightly which proves that she isn't wearing a mask. To escape, Vermouth grabs the unconscious Conan as a hostage and roars away in Jodie's car. To prevent them from following, she aims with the side mirror and shoots Araide's car's gas tank, causing it to explode.<br /> {{quote|Akai: To shoot the gasoline tank using the mirror and with that body is... not bad.&lt;br /&gt;Jodie: What are you being impressed for!? She just got away with a hostage!|Jodie and Akai's conversation about Vermouth's getaway|Manga Volume 42, File 10, pg 12}}<br /> Akai comments that they at least have her accomplice Calvados, but at that moment, Calvados commits suicide with a pocket pistol that Akai overlooked. Akai hears the police sirens and tells Jodie to make up a story about randomly getting involved in a kidnapping case. Akai's parting words to Jodie are that he still isn't ready to face Haibara, likely referring to his use of Haibara's sister, [[Akemi Miyano]], to infiltrate the Black Organization which resulted in her being killed when they uncovered that he was a spy.<br /> <br /> === Black Impact (Manga: [[Volume_48#Black_Organization_vs._FBI|499]]-[[Volume_49#Black_Organization_vs_FBI|504]], Anime: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|425]]) ===<br /> [[Image:Akai sniping.jpg|thumb|left|Akai with a sniper rifle aiming at the Black Organization 700 yards away.]]<br /> Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan help newscaster [[Rena Mizunashi]] with a door bell prank case. In order to catch the prankster, Conan sticks a bug and microphone wrapped in gum outside the door. The case is solved, but Conan forgets the bug and it gets stuck on Rena's shoe. Unfortunately Conan discovers Rena is a member of the Black Organization, [[Kir]], and she is participating in an [[Black Organization#Domon Yasudera|assassination mission]]. Conan has to retrieve the tracker before the Black Organization notices and suspects that Kogoro planted it. Jodie Starling contacts Akai and tells him about the predicament, but doesn't say what he will do to help. James Black comments that Akai was always the reticent type, but has closed up even more since the death of his girlfriend (later revealed to be [[Akemi Miyano]]).<br /> <br /> After hearing a lot of static on their radios, Gin looks for the cause of the interference and finds Conan's tracker on Kir's shoe which had been left in his car when she changed clothes. With the boss's approval, Gin abandons the original assassination plans and heads towards the Mouri Detective Agency to kill Kogoro. Conan stops Kogoro from being assassinated, but Gin still has Conan's tracker which has his fingerprints on it. As Gin holds it up for a closer look, it is shot out from between his fingers by Akai who had set up with a sniper rifle on a building 700 yards away.<br /> [[Image:Gin sniped.jpg|thumb|right|Gin is shot by Akai.]]<br /> Gin, perhaps anticipating who would be responsible, grabs Korn's rifle and uses it to locate Shuichi Akai. At this time, Akai fires a bullet that passes through Gin's scope and grazes his left cheek causing it to bleed. At this time Akai says &quot;we finally meet, my lovely, lovely koibito-san&quot;.&lt;ref name=504p14&gt;Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 14: Black Organization vs. FBI 2&lt;/ref&gt; Gosho Aoyama uses a Japanese literary device to give the word &quot;koibito&quot; a double meaning. Japanese in Detective Conan includes the pronunciation, called &quot;[[wiki:furigana|furigana]]&quot;, in [[wiki:hiragana|hiragana]] next to the [[wiki:kanji|kanji]]. Normally the furigana matches the word in the kanji; however, Gosho Aoyama used the kanji for &quot;old enemy&quot; (宿敵), but the furigana for &quot;koibito&quot; (こいびと), giving Akai's word a double meaning. The true meaning of what Akai meant is &quot;old enemy&quot;, but what he said out loud was the furigana &quot;koibito&quot;. Akai had ironically nicknamed Gin &quot;loved one&quot; despite thinking of him as his arch enemy. By grazing Gin's cheek, Akai fulfilled his promise he made at the end of the James Black Kidnapping to make his &quot;lover&quot; bleed tears of blood. <br /> <br /> Akai then fired twice into Gin's bullet proof vest to encourage him to leave quietly, purposefully avoiding killing Gin although he was capable of finishing him. Akai's stated reason for letting Gin and the rest of the Black Organization members go was to avoid having a gunfight erupt in the middle of Beika city where innocent people might be injured.&lt;ref name=504p17&gt;Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 17: Black Organization vs. FBI 2&lt;/ref&gt; Despite Gin's reservations, Akai also successfully made the Black Organization think that the FBI was behind the tracker, and that Kogoro had been the bait to draw them into Akai's range.<br /> <br /> === Kir in the hospital (Manga: [[Volume_53#Giant_Hammer_Case|550]], Anime: [[The Shadow of the Black Organization|462]]) ===<br /> The FBI discuss what to do with Mizunashi Rena. Akai wants to use her as bait to trap the Black Organization and points out her her name is a pun on &quot;007&quot;, James Bond's code number. &lt;ref&gt;Manga Volume 53, File 7&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> === Red vs. Black (Manga: [[Volume_57#Fake_Patient_Case|595]]-[[Volume_59#Foreign_Suspect_Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-504]]) ===<br /> Eventually, following the capture of Organization member [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]], Akai was introduced to Conan, and the two worked on a plan to re-introduce Rena, who was in fact a CIA mole, back into the ranks of the Organization. One condition of her reintegration, however, was that she should personally kill Akai, who had been declared the Organization's most dangerous enemy. Mizunashi lured him to an isolated spot for a meeting and shot him at point-blank range before incinerating his truck with a bomb. <br /> <br /> ==== The Fake Patient (Manga: [[Volume_57#Fake_Patient_Case|595]]-[[Volume_58#Fake_Patient_Case|598]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-497]]) ====<br /> After hearing that [[Eisuke]] has zeroed in on Haido Central Hospital after finding a clue, Conan and Jodie discuss [[Ethan Hondou]]. Jodie says Akai verified Ethan Hondou was a CIA agent. Conan asks Ran more about the clue Eisuke found and discovers that it was someone dialing the [[Anokata|Black Organization's boss's phone number]]. Jodie reports to Akai that a member of the Black Organization has infiltrated the hospital. Akai takes the news in stride and goes to Rena's room. He already suspects Rena is a member of the CIA as well, and wants to use her to gain more leverage against the Organization.<br /> <br /> Conan asks one of the nurses about Eisuke and she tells Conan about a different patient, a member of the Black Organization, who had asked about Rena Mizunashi. Akai seems pleased to hear the news, and thinks it is a good opportunity to add a second lead. The FBI gets profiles of three patients most likely to be the Black Organization member and Conan films them. Akai and Conan both correctly deduce the member of the Black Organization hiding in the hospital is [[Kusuda Rikumichi]]. The FBI watch Kusuda, but get caught and he threatens to blow up a bomb. Kusuda escapes in a car with Akai and Conan in hot pursuit. After realizing it is Akai who is chasing him, Kusuda commits suicide. Akai knows that now Kusuda's reports have stopped, the Black Organization will know Rena is at the Haido Central Hospital and plan a counter-attack.<br /> <br /> ==== The Black Organization's counterattack (Manga: [[Volume_58#Kir_Transport_Case|599-605]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|498-503]]) ==== <br /> The FBI hold a meeting and decide that they have to move Kir now that the Black Organization knows she is at Haido Central Hospital. Akai proposes that the best idea is to set a trap for the Organization by allowing them to come after Kir and then ambushing them. Akai heads to the roof alone to think of a plan. Conan takes the opportunity to ask James Black about Akai's past. James reveals that Akai wants revenge for his girlfriend who was killed by the Organization. Akai had infiltrated the Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi by dating Miyano Akemi in order to get close to a [[Sherry|high ranking scientist]], feed information to the FBI, and hopefully learn the identity of [[anokata|the boss]].&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past&lt;/ref&gt; Dai earned the codename &quot;Rye&quot; and was called to work for [[Gin]], but the FBI bungled the plan to capture Gin, so Akai was discovered and expelled from the Organization. James Black further explains that the Organization wanted to get rid of Akemi too, but couldn't because her sister was too valuable to them. The Organization came up with a plan to have Akemi perform [[Volume_2#File_013_-_The_Missing_Man|a billion yen bank heist]] as an excuse to kill her when she failed. Contrary to the Org's expectations, Akemi succeeded but was killed by Gin regardless. Akai has kept the last text message from Akemi asking if Akai will date her for real if she leaves the Organization. There is a further P.S. that has not been revealed.<br /> <br /> Conan and Akai meet on the roof and exchange plans. Their first move is to get Kir's cooperation. Akai and Conan trick the FBI officers on guard to leave Kir's room which provides an opportunity for Eisuke to sneak in and &quot;wake the sleeping princess&quot;. With Eisuke's provocation, Kir stops pretending that she is unconscious. Conan and Akai enter the room, and Akai escorts Eisuke out so that they can convince Kir to return to Organization. Akai and Conan answer Kir's questions about how they found out she was a CIA agent and she fills them in on her past. Kir agrees to their plan to trick the Organization and promises to funnel information back to the FBI as well. Akai calls [[Andre Camel]] to help with their secret plan which requires also fooling the FBI who don't yet know Kir is a CIA agent.<br /> <br /> The FBI plans to put Rena in one of three vans and trick the Organization into chasing one of the decoys while the van with Kir in it is driven by Camel back to hospital. Meanwhile, the Organization launches their counterattack. They cause three separate accidents nearby to flood the hospital with people and then give them gifts with small bombs hidden inside. Akai suspects they may be trying to kill Kir by detonating the bombs and collapsing the hospital. Akai and the FBI collect the bombs from the innocent patients, but are startled when the TV starts airing an announcement from Mizunashi Rena in the hospital. Akai and Conan realize the bombs have tracking devices embedded in them, but they aren't fast enough to stop the rest of the FBI agents from going to Kir's room.<br /> <br /> With the location of Kir's room exposed, the FBI launch the three van plan without delay. Akai in his Chevrolet follows one of the vans from a distance and he is eventually found by Vermouth who had been assigned by the boss to look for him. Gin correctly deduces which van Kir is in and recaptures her all according to Conan and Akai's plan. The FBI are at first very dismayed they failed, but then Akai explains the plan to them and that they were left out of the loop in order to make the Organization believe they were not set up. Gin, however, is suspicious that Akai didn't interfere more strongly when they recaptured Kir and that Akai may have something else up his sleeve.<br /> <br /> ==== Death at Raiha Pass (Manga: [[Volume_58#Foreign_Suspect_Case|605-609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|501-504]]) ====<br /> Gin is suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Akai didn't make a strong move. Gin thinks Akai is still hiding something and that doubt is relayed to [[anokata|the boss]] who plans a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. Akai is somewhat amused at the predicament, and Jodie plans to go to Andre Camel and bail him out. As Jodie leaves, Akai calls out to her and says he has a bad feeling about today, and that she should be careful. Jodie notes it is Friday the thirteenth. <br /> <br /> The Black Organization takes advantage of the distraction provided by Andre Camel's murder case, and Gin meets with Kir and conveys [[anokata|the boss's]] ultimatum: Kir must kill Akai in order to regain the Organization's trust. Gin explains that Kir will call out Akai with the excuse that she wants to flee the country because the Organization is pressuring her after she was caught by the FBI. Akai will take the bait if Kir says she will give him good information. When she meets with him alone, Kir will kill Akai while wearing a camera and bug. Gin will be watching out of range of Akai's acute sense for traps. With Gin's gun at her back, Kir calls Akai.<br /> <br /> At the murder case, Jodie meets up with Camel and their discussion turns to Camel's mistake which caused Akai to be rejected from the Organization two years ago. Camel explains that Akai had just been promoted, and the FBI planned to capture Gin who was set to meet with Akai. The FBI hid in the warehouse waiting for Gin, but instead an old man walked in an sat down. Akai ignored the old man, but Camel came out from hiding and told to old man to leave. The old man turned out to be a member of the Organization, and Gin never showed. This lead to a chain of events leading to Akai's girlfriend [[Miyano Akemi]]'s death almost two years later. Camel, who felt most responsible, felt obligated to take the role of driver for the plan to return Kir. <br /> <br /> Meanwhile Akai, sitting in his truck, remembers some of the last moments he had with Akemi. Akai revealed to her that he was an FBI agent. She seemed to already know, prompting Akai to desperately ask her why she didn't get away from him. Akemi's simple tearful reply was, &quot;Can't you tell without asking?&quot; Akai is brought back to present by [[James Black]] telling him that his phone is ringing. Kir is on the other end, and relays Gin's concocted story and asks to meet Akai alone. James's impression is that the meeting with Rena is likely a trap and that Akai shouldn't go. Akai confidently says that he is sure his sixth sense will work and that he will trust Rena to have some way out of the situation. James starts to call Jodie as support but, the confidently grinning Akai stops James from dialing and asks for his trust. The meeting location is set at 19:00 at the seventh left curve of Raiha falls and Akai heads out.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Kir_kills_Akai.jpg|thumb|right|200|Kir kills the 'Silver-bullet'.]]<br /> Akai arrives at the meeting place where Kir is waiting from the other side after scouting out ahead. Kir shoots Akai in the lung as Gin and Vodka watch from across the gorge via Kir's collar camera. Blood trickling from his mouth, Akai turns and sees their Porsche and smirks to himself. Kir tells Gin he will die soon from the lung shot, but Gin orders that Kir makes his death certain by shooting Akai in the head. As Kir walks up to him, Akai seems to accept his impending doom with great calm.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapters 605-608: Foreign Suspect Case&lt;/ref&gt; After some last words, Kir shoots Akai in the forehead. Blood cascading from both sides of his head, Akai collapses in the front seat of his truck. At that moment the police on the way to an accident begin to approach and Gin orders Kir to place a bomb and blow Akai's truck up with the body. Kir plants the bomb and leaves. It detonates just as the police pass by. The ensuing explosion and fire destroys most of the body but the right hand fingerprints survive.<br /> <br /> Jodie and Camel leave the murder case as the police finish wrapping it up return the the hospital where the FBI meet. James announces that Kir set up a meeting alone with Akai and the a news program begins reporting on a truck that exploded with a body inside whose right hand fingerprints remain intact. Jodie wonders if it is Akai, and takes Conan's phone which Akai had touched earlier with his right hand to the police. The fingerprint results are a match, Jodie reports the news to James and then breaks down crying. <br /> <br /> ===== Faked Death? =====<br /> {{main|Akai faked his death theory}}<br /> Several abnormalities surrounding Akai's death invite the possibility that Akai faked his death with Conan and Mizunashi Rena's help. Inconsistent details like disappearing blood trails are evidence Akai's body was tampered with by someone other than Kir, and Conan's reaction to the news of Akai's death is suspiciously subdued. The theory is that Akai's death was faked by using blank cartridges and blood packets with small detonators to simulate gunshots. When Kir moves to the front of Akai's truck to prepare the bomb, it creates a gap of time where Gin and Vodka cannot see Akai's body with Kir's camera. At this time, Akai switches places with [[Rikumichi Kusuda]]'s body which had been dressed up beforehand to look like Akai. Akai escapes the truck before it explodes. Meanwhile Conan's will loan Jodie Starling one of his identical cellphones which has Rikumichi's fingerprints on it. She will think they are Akai's and when she goes to validate the identity of the body with the police, it will match Rikumichi's fingerprints and she will be fooled into thinking Akai died.<br /> <br /> === Current Events ===<br /> ==== &quot;Scar Akai&quot; ====<br /> [[File:Scar Akai.jpg|right]]{{Main|Scar Akai}}<br /> Some time after Akai was apparently killed by Kir, during a stroll through Tokyo, Jodie encountered a man who looks exactly like Akai, but with a huge burn scar on the right side of his face. At first, Jodie was reluctant to believe that this man was Akai, and she didn't tell anyone about her discovery, rather attempting to figure it out on her own. Later, she admitted her prior encounter to [[Andre Camel]] after he saw scar Akai in a bathroom. In the [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group]] case, the man helped Conan defeat the robbery gang, though Conan himself didn't learn about his presence or involvement then.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 677-679: Bank Heist Case&lt;/ref&gt; Scar Akai also appeared at a department store where he was trapped on a floor with Subaru Okiya and then was targeted by the Black Organization's snipers.<br /> <br /> ==== Subaru Okiya ====<br /> [[File:Subaru Okiya.jpg|right]]{{Main|Okiya is Akai Theory}}<br /> One popular theory is that [[Subaru Okiya]] is Shuichi Akai. Okiya first appeared not long after Akai's apparent death. Okiya and Akai have many similarities, such as appearance and left handedness. Conan trusts him and ignores Haibara's reactions to him. Conan also seemed to know about the place where Okiya lived before they met. Ran also feels like she recognizes Okiya from somewhere. The name &quot;Okiya Subaru&quot; continues the pattern of puns on &quot;Char Aznable&quot; that &quot;Akai Shuuichi&quot; and his alias &quot;Moroboshi Dai&quot; follow. <br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> ==== Masumi Sera ====<br /> [[File:Masumi Sera.jpg|right]]{{Main|Masumi Sera}}<br /> The character Masumi Sera is Akai's younger sister, as confirmed at the end of Chapter 821.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 821&lt;/ref&gt; Sera's eyes are identical to Akai's. Also, Sera Masumi's name is also incredibly similar to Mobile Suit Gundam character [http://gundam.wikia.com/wiki/Sayla_Mass Sayla Mass] (セイラ・マス, ''Seira Masu''). [[#Name origin|Akai's name is derived]] from Sayla Mass's older brother's name, Char Anzable. Also, Conan, Jodie, and Camel have the feeling she resembles someone they know.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Family &amp; Friends ===<br /> ==== Akemi Miyano ====<br /> Shuichi originally met [[Akemi Miyano]] by accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he was walking in the street. Akemi was concerned over this, 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 told him her name, while he told her his fake name: Dai Moroboshi. After this, both of them discovered they were in the Black Organization, and began dating. However, for Akai, there was a catch involved. To the FBI, Akai's relationship was merely a stepping stone, something to use to take advantage of the Black Organization, and to get information. However, as [[James Black]] later recalls, Akai had begun to fall in love with Akemi, and consider her his real girlfriend.<br /> [[Image:Akemi's Text Message.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The last text message Akemi had sent Shuichi Akai, before her death.]]<br /> <br /> In Akemi's heart, she always felt that Akai (Dai), really wasn't who he seemed to be. Later, due to a massive error by [[Andre Camel]], Akai is discovered to be an FBI agent, leading to his exile from the Black Organization. When Akemi discovers this, she runs to him in tears, sad and angry, and afraid that Akai really had only used her to get information on the Black Organization. When Akai asks her why she never said anything about her suspicions before, Akemi basically hints it is because she loves him. After this, Akemi and Akai don't hear from each other for a long while, and Akemi's role in the Black Organization dwindles because they believe that she gave information about the Black Organization to Akai. After the successful bank heist, she is killed by the Black Organization. However, on the day of the heist, Akemi sent Akai a long text message, tell him that after the heist, when she is finally free from the Black Organization, if he wants to be her real boyfriend. Akai is never able to answer this, as she is killed by [[Gin]]. Akai treasures this text message, and it was even still in his phone, many months after Akemi's death. The message also contains a P.S. which is not revealed yet.<br /> {{clear}}<br /> <br /> ==== Jodie Starling ====<br /> While Jodie and Akai's relationship had been viewed as mere colleagues, it is revealed later on in the series that Jodie and Akai had dated before about 5 years prior. However, after Akai infiltrated the Black Organization under the alias of Dai Moroboshi, he started dating Akemi Miyano in hopes of using her to attain information about the Black Organization. Despite this, Akai ended up falling in love with Akemi, leading him to break up with Jodie, stating that, &quot;To be able to love two women at the same time…it’s not that handy a personality.&quot; In spite of the break-up, Jodie still held strong feelings for Akai which never wavered as time passed and took his apparent death at Kir's hands especially hard, to the point of being reduced to tears.<br /> <br /> ==== Gin ====<br /> {{main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}<br /> Shuichi Akai and Gin are rivals and hate one another. It is implied that they didn't get along even before Akai was exposed as an undercover FBI agent. Akai refers to Gin as &quot;Koibito&quot;, which ironically means 'lover.' Gin killed Akai's love Akemi, so Akai thinks of Gin as his archenemy.<br /> <br /> ==== Ai Haibara ====<br /> When Haibara first met Akai, she thought he was a member of the Black Organization. Akai seems to know of Haibara's identity. Haibara knows him as Dai Moroboshi, her sister's boyfriend who betrayed the Organization.&lt;ref&gt;Manga Chapter 802&lt;/ref&gt; It isn't clear whether Haibara knows he is an FBI agent, but she does not know him by the name Shuichi Akai.<br /> <br /> ==== Conan Edogawa ====<br /> Akai and Conan are capable of thinking on par with one another. In the short time they have worked together, Akai has come to respect Conan's intellect and deductive skills. It may very well be the case that he might one day find out that Conan and [[Shinichi Kudo]] are really one and the same person. However, there is speculation amongst fans that Akai already knows Conan's secret, due to the fact that he 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]].<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> *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.

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''.&lt;ref&gt;In Moroboshi (諸星), the first kanji can be broken up into 言者 which when pronounced as げんしゃ (gensho) sounds very similar to the word for &quot;phenomenon&quot; (genshou). The second character (星) means &quot;star&quot;. Moroboshi, read as &quot;Star phenomenon&quot; references falling stars or maybe comets. &lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Quotes ==<br /> {{cquote|&quot;The fear of death is worse than the death itself.&quot;}}<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> *Akai's voice actor, [[Shuichi Ikeda]], is the real-life husband of [[Akemi Miyano]]'s voice actress, [[Sakiko Tamagawa]].<br /> *Akai is left-handed.<br /> <br /> ==In other languages==<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Characters]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Characters}}<br /> {{Template: Federal Bureau of Investigation}}<br /> <br /> {{Black Organization}}<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Akai Shuichi}}<br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Male characters]]<br /> [[Category:FBI]]<br /> [[Category:Black Organization]]<br /> [[Category:Characters named after their voice actors]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Shuichi Akai]]</div>

He is [[Gin]]'s secretary&lt;ref name=CD237&gt;Conan Drill page 237. Vodka's position is 全体監視役秘書係 which roughly translates to General Oversight division secretary&lt;/ref&gt; and assistant. Like Gin, he was first introduced under the name of Kaspar in the English manga, but then was later renamed to Vodka.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> '''Vodka''' is a member of the [[Black Organization]] who is often seen by Gin's side. His official position is Gin's secretary&lt;ref name=CD237/&gt;, so he handles most of the research and information for the duo, such as setting up meetings (309-311), and relaying information to other members (54, 345). Vodka is often seen using some transport.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[Image:vodka_calls.jpg|thumb|left|160px|Vodka makes a phone call to Itakura, but instead of him, Agasa and Conan are in Itakura's cottage.]]<br /> While just as ruthless a killer as his partner Gin, Vodka is more easy-going and trusting, thus more susceptible to traps Conan sets to apprehend the Organization. He also tends to not perform well under duress without guidance from Gin or other characters, exemplified in [[Sherry's Return]] when, distracted by Gin being sedated, fails to notice and stop Shiho from escaping before it is too late.

<p>FilipCoric: /* Case Closed */</p> <hr /> <div>'''{{nihongo|Detective Conan|名探偵コナン|Meitantei Konan, lit. Great Detective Conan}}''' is a Japanese detective [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[Gosho Aoyama]] and is serialized in the Japanese manga anthology ''[[Magazines#Weekly Shōnen Sunday|Weekly Shōnen Sunday]]'' since 1994 and has been collected in seventy-one [[Glossary|Tankōbon]] volumes as of February 2011. <br /> <br /> The manga has been adapted into an anime series by the animation studio [[Studios#TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsha]], directed by [[Kenji Kodama]] and [[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]], and is broadcast in Japan on [[TV Networks#Nippon Television Network Corporation|Nippon Television]], [[TV Networks#Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation|Yomiuri TV]] and [[TV Networks#Animax|Animax]]. The series debuted on January 8, 1996 and has since broadcast 586 episodes as of September 04, 2010. The series has seen high levels of popularity in both manga and anime formats in Japan since its reception, and has also been adapted into fifteen [[Glossary|Golden Week]] movies, with the first released on April 17, 1997 and since then followed with a movie released each year. Ten of the movies held a top 10 box office position in the year they were screened. In addition, eleven [[OVAs|Original video animation]] have been released. As of February 2011, seventy-one volumes have been released in Japan.<br /> <br /> ==Story summary==<br /> <br /> [[Image:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]<br /> The story follows the adventures of [[Shinichi Kudo]] (also known as Jimmy Kudo in Case Closed), a prodigious young detective who was inadvertently transformed into a child due to a [[APTX 4869|poison]]. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] suggested to keep his identity a secret so he renames himself [[Conan Edogawa]] to hide his real identity in order to protect his beloved ones and now, he is looking for the [[Black Organization|people who shrunk him]].<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Case Closed==<br /> {{InfoBox Country<br /> | country = USA<br /> | image = Case Closed logo.png<br /> | language = English<br /> | continent = North America, Europe and Australia <br /> | episode = 130<br /> | volume = 39<br /> | publisher = Viz Media<br /> }}<br /> Detective Conan is known as &quot;Case Closed&quot; in North America. The name &quot;''Case Closed''&quot; results from concerns of copyright conflict of the name ''Detective Conan''.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2004-02-05/funimation-renames-conan|accessdate=2008-08-18|publisher=Anime News Network|date=2007-10-09|title=FUNimation renames Conan}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> Viz Media licensed the manga series under the name for English-language publication in North America and released thirty-nine volumes as of July 2011. [[Funimation Entertainment]] licensed the anime series for North American broadcast. Both the English adaption went under the name ''Case Closed''. The character names were also adapted into English ones with some names different between the two. Fifty episodes of the English dubbed series aired on [[TV Networks#Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as part of their [[TV Networks#Adult Swim|Adult Swim]] programming block on May 24, 2004 until January 2005 and were discontinued due to low ratings.&lt;ref name=&quot;Adult Swim Anime Plans&quot;&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-01-22/adult-swim-anime-plans|title=Adult Swim Anime Plans|publisher=Anime News Network|accessdate=May 5, 2009}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> Two years later, Funimation made the series available, airing it on Colours TV during its syndication with the Funimation Channel.As of 2011, only 130 episodes have been dubbed in English. Though anime was not so popular in North America, manga enjoys high success. Volume 36 appeared in the ''New York Times Manga Best Sellers'' list during the week ending on October 24, 2010.<br /> <br /> ==Critical reception==<br /> <br /> The series has been well received in Japan with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in [[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]'s polls between 1996 until 2000 where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, Detective Conan often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. Meanwhile, the English adaption has not been as equally popular as in Japan, and has been criticized for the name changes.<br /> <br /> == Demographic ==<br /> <br /> Even though Detective Conan is a [[Glossary|Shōnen]], its audience is composed of a substantial proportion of female viewers and readers. The series also seems to attract all ages.<br /> <br /> <br /> == Appearances in other media ==<br /> [[File:Future_Detective_Conan_the_Great.png|250px|thumb|right|Detective Conan cameo in Kenichi: The Mightiest Disciple]]<br /> <br /> Besides for his anime and manga appearances, Conan is the protagonist for all the movies and the video games based on the Case Closed series. Some anime parodied, lampooned and even mentioned him. Some of them include, [[wikipedia:Yakitate!! Japan|Yakitate!! Japan]],&lt;ref&gt;''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yakitate!!_Japan Yakitate!!

Conan suspects that the Black Organization may also be involved, especially when he sees Gin's car, a black Porsche 356A, there. As the detective boys were going for a camping trip they saw the newly built twin towers and decided to stop by after they finished camping. Meanwhile, Haibara has been acting very strange lately, talking on the phone to an unknown person at night. Will Conan discover the mystery behind this, or will it blow up all together? Things heat up as the clock ticks away on the Countdown to Heaven!<br /> <br /> == People ==<br /> {{BeginBox}}<br /> {{People|Chinami Sawaguchi|Chinami Sawaguchi.jpg|<br /> * 29 years old<br /> * President's secretary}}<br /> {{People|Yoshiaka Hara|Yoshiaki Hara.jpg|<br /> * Victim (gunshot)<br /> * 32 years old<br /> * TOKIWA executive}}<br /> {{People|Hosui Kisaragi|Hosui Kisaragi.jpg|<br /> * 60 years old<br /> * Japanese artist}}<br /> {{People|Iwamatsu Oki|Iwamatsu Oki.jpg|<br /> * Victim (stabbed)<br /> * 55 years old<br /> * Nishitamashi councilman}}<br /> {{People|Mio Tokiwa|Mio Tokiwa.jpg|<br /> * Victim (hanged)<br /> * 36 years old<br /> * TOKIWA president}}<br /> {{People|Hidehiko Kazama|Hidehiko Kazama.jpg|<br /> * 41 years old<br /> * Architect}}<br /> {{EndBox}}<br /> <br /> == Resolution ==<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;<br /> * '''Conclusion'''<br /> The one who killed Iwamatsu Oki and Mio Tokiwa was Hosui Kisaragi.<br /> <br /> It turns out that the Black Organization was involved, but only in the murder of Yoshiaki Hara the computer programmer. Hara was part of the Black Organization but he used the Tokiwa Corporation's main computer to hack into the Black Organization's files. <br /> <br /> Gin and Vodka set up bombs in Tower A to destroy the computer Hara used to access the Black Organization's files and to kill Sherry and anyone else involved with her. Everyone but the Detective Boys (minus Conan) make their way out of the burning building and Conan goes back to rescue them. Unfortunately, the Black Organization foils any of their chances of escaping. <br /> <br /> While Conan is trying to find out another way to escape, Haibara notices that there are bombs planted in the room and they are all set on a timer. Putting Ayumi's skills with the thirty-seconds game (being able to count to thirty seconds perfectly) to use, the Detective Boys take the car Kogoro won and Conan uses the speed from the explosion to drive/launch them across to the adjacent building that has a retractable roof to a pool. They land in the rooftop pool safely, and the movie ends with Kogoro's horror at his prize car being in the pool. <br /> &lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == FUNimation Dub ==<br /> <br /> * For some unknown reason, Gin refers to [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] as &quot;Shelly&quot; in the English dub. This could be because of a translator error in the script or yet another edit TMS Entertainment required in the dub version.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * In this movie the Twin Tower Buildings are destroyed by Gin and Vodka. It is possible that the World Trade center or Twin Towers in USA (the twins are destroyed in 2001.) were the inspiration to the Twin Tower Buildings that arrives in movie. But It is impossible if the moment when the American Twin towers were crashed because the movie ''Countdown to Heaven'' was released in Japan, five months before the tragic event in USA. <br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Movies]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Movies}}<br /> <br /> {{Black Organization}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Movies]]</div>

He is [[Gin]]'s secretary&lt;ref name=CD237&gt;Conan Drill page 237. Vodka's position is 全体監視役秘書係 which roughly translates to General Oversight division secretary&lt;/ref&gt; and assistant. Like Gin, he was first introduced under the name of Kaspar in the English manga, but then was later renamed to Vodka.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> '''Vodka''' is a member of the [[Black Organization]] who is often seen by Gin's side. His official position is Gin's secretary&lt;ref name=CD237/&gt;, so he handles most of the research and information for the duo, such as setting up meetings (309-311), and relaying information to other members (54, 345).<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[Image:vodka_calls.jpg|thumb|left|160px|Vodka phoning Itakura, but instead of him Agasa and Conan are in Itakura's cottage.]]<br /> While just as ruthless a killer as his partner Gin, Vodka is more easy-going and trusting, thus more susceptible to traps Conan sets to apprehend the Organization. He also tends to not perform well under duress without guidance from Gin or other characters, exemplified in [[Sherry's Return]] when, distracted by Gin being sedated, fails to notice and stop Shiho from escaping before it is too late. He speaks and acts like a typical mafia or Yakuza type gangster. While his astuteness is largely overshadowed by Gin, at some point Vodka notices suspicious things and unlike Gin occasionally notices things that prove dangerous to Conan. When Haibara was trapped by [[Pisco]] in wine storage room, she was trying to extract all the data about the [[APTX 4869]] from laptop and tell Conan about it, but it was too late because Gin and Vodka arrived in the room. Her half-drunken left-behind bottle [[baijiu]] (Haibara drinked it to transform into her real form, so she could become able to climb through chimney and succesfully escape from the room) and unfold laptop were noticed by Vodka. On the bullet train's dining car,&lt;ref&gt;Note that in the anime, Vodka and Gin's appearance was changed to some generic lookalikes.&lt;/ref&gt; Vodka noticed a piece of gum with tracker in it that Conan planted in the armrest cigarette disposal where Gin and Vodka were sitting; however, Vodka then confirmed it was just a piece of gum. In another example, Vodka heard the click of [[Agasa]] turning on the lights in the background while Conan was on the phone with him impersonating the Organization contact Itakura with his [[voice changing bowtie]]. Conan alleviates Vodka's suspicion by telling him it was just the wind.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> In the original Japanese versions, he refers to Gin as &quot;aniki&quot;, which literally means &quot;big brother&quot; and is used by yakuza-types to respectfully refer to their bosses but it is also a quasi-affectionate term within a tight social circle as well.<br /> <br /> == Plot overview ==<br /> Vodka was the first Black Organization member introduced to the series.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis==<br /> === The Black Organization ===<br /> * '''Gin'''<br /> Vodka is a subordinate of [[Gin]]'s and they frequently work together as a team, or are seen communicating with one another by phone.

He is [[Gin]]'s secretary&lt;ref name=CD237&gt;Conan Drill page 237. Vodka's position is 全体監視役秘書係 which roughly translates to General Oversight division secretary&lt;/ref&gt; and assistant. Like Gin, he was first introduced under the name of Kaspar in the English manga, but then was later renamed to Vodka.<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> '''Vodka''' is a member of the [[Black Organization]] who is often seen by Gin's side. His official position is Gin's secretary&lt;ref name=CD237/&gt;, so he handles most of the research and information for the duo, such as setting up meetings (309-311), and relaying information to other members (54, 345).<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> [[Image:vodka_calls.jpg|thumb|left|160px|Vodka phones Itakura, but instead of him Agasa and Conan are in Itakura's cottage.]]<br /> While just as ruthless a killer as his partner Gin, Vodka is more easy-going and trusting, thus more susceptible to traps Conan sets to apprehend the Organization. He also tends to not perform well under duress without guidance from Gin or other characters, exemplified in [[Sherry's Return]] when, distracted by Gin being sedated, fails to notice and stop Shiho from escaping before it is too late. He speaks and acts like a typical mafia or Yakuza type gangster. While his astuteness is largely overshadowed by Gin, at some point Vodka notices suspicious things and unlike Gin occasionally notices things that prove dangerous to Conan. When Haibara was trapped by [[Pisco]] in wine storage room, she was trying to extract all the data abou the [[APTX 4869]] from laptop and tell Conan about it, but it was too late because Gin and Vodka arrived in the room. Her half-drunken left-behind bottle [[baijiu]] (Haibara drinked it to transform into her real form, so she could become able to climb through chimney and succesfully escape from the room) and unfold laptop were noticed by Vodka. On the bullet train's dining car,&lt;ref&gt;Note that in the anime, Vodka and Gin's appearance was changed to some generic lookalikes.&lt;/ref&gt; Vodka noticed a piece of gum with tracker in it that Conan planted in the armrest cigarette disposal where Gin and Vodka were sitting; however, Vodka then confirmed it was just a piece of gum. In another example, Vodka heard the click of [[Agasa]] turning on the lights in the background while Conan was on the phone with him impersonating the Organization contact Itakura with his [[voice changing bowtie]]. Conan alleviates Vodka's suspicion by telling him it was just the wind.&lt;br /&gt;<br /> In the original Japanese versions, he refers to Gin as &quot;aniki&quot;, which literally means &quot;big brother&quot; and is used by yakuza-types to respectfully refer to their bosses but it is also a quasi-affectionate term within a tight social circle as well.<br /> <br /> == Plot overview ==<br /> Vodka was the first Black Organization member introduced to the series.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis==<br /> === The Black Organization ===<br /> * '''Gin'''<br /> Vodka is a subordinate of [[Gin]]'s and they frequently work together as a team, or are seen communicating with one another by phone. Vodka shows Gin absolute respect, using honorifics&lt;ref&gt;Vodka uses the word, &quot;aniki&quot;, literally meaning &quot;older brother&quot;, but in context means &quot;one's senior&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt; while speaking with Gin rather than just simply using his codename. Gin in turn values Vodka for his obedience. Gin views and treats Vodka as an &quot;inexperienced little brother&quot;.&lt;ref name=CD239a&gt;Conan drill page 239: 出来の悪い弟分&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> * '''Tequila'''<br /> Vodka and [[Tequila]] are approximately equally ranked and both are Gin's subordinates.&lt;ref name=CD239/&gt;<br /> <br /> * '''Sherry'''<br /> Vodka has met [[Shiho Miyano]] and they are acquaintances.&lt;ref name=CD239&gt;Conan drill page 239&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> * '''Vermouth'''<br /> Throughout the series Vodka didn't show any negative emotions to [[Vermouth]] unlike the other members such as [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]. Vodka and Vermouth were seen along on missions sometimes, but they didn't pay attention each other.<br /> <br /> == Character popularity ==<br /> *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. Vodka placed 25th in the poll with 10 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』 人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Name origin ==<br /> * Vodka's English name, Kaspar, is the name of one of the three Magi in Christian tradition.

<p>FilipCoric: </p> <hr /> <div>{{InfoBox Char<br /> | name = Irish<br /> | english-name = Irish<br /> | image = Irish Profile.jpg<br /> | age = ?<br /> | gender = Male<br /> | date-of-birth = <br /> | relatives = <br /> | nicknames = <br /> | first-appearance = Anime: [[The Raven Chaser|Movie 13]]<br /> | appearances = TV: 0&lt;br /&gt;Movies: 1&lt;br /&gt;Specials: 0&lt;br /&gt;Openings: 0<br /> | cases-solved = <br /> | japanese-voice = [[Wikipedia:Yuji Mikimoto|Yuji Mikimoto]]<br /> | footnotes = <br /> }}<br /> '''{{nihongo|Irish|アイリッシュ|Airisshu}}''' is a [[Black Organization]] member who appears as the main antagonist and eponymous ''Raven Chaser'' in [[The Raven Chaser|Movie 13]]. He was killed by [[Chianti]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Not much is known about Irish, except that he had a lot of respect for [[Pisco]]. It is stated that Pisco was like a father to Irish. Pisco was an elderly member of the Black Organization who was killed by [[Gin]]. Ever since, Irish has had a strong grudge against Gin. It is not known if Irish ever killed anyone, but it is assumed that he had in the past.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Irish wasn't a very high ranking member, though he was quite smart. It is very apparent that Irish lacked a high rank in the organization when Gin cold-heartedly ordered Chianti to shoot him. Irish had managed to find out [[Conan]] was actually Shinichi relatively quickly. [[Ran]] arrived at [[Wikipedia:Tokyo Tower|Tokyo Tower]] and found Irish (still disguised as Matsumoto) brutally beating Conan. He shot a bullet at her, but she dodged it and gush out a gun from his hand. Then the fight began, Irish rashly attacked Ran assigning a hard kick on her face and when he was to complete, Ran mow him down and tried to concentrate. This time, Irish's next hard attacks were successfully stoped by Ran and she used karate, but a kick to his face teared off part of his mask, thus surprised her. Irish used this to his advantage and overpowered Ran. As it is seen during the duel with Ran, Irish was a very harsh person and wasn't afraid to hit a girl. In fight, Irish was very reliable of his own strength, he didn't prefered any techniques and never took defense position. His strong body he used and tall size gave him additional advantage. Like Gin and [[Vermouth]], Irish had a high pain tolerance. When Ran kicked him, part of his mask was torn off. He became furious and reciprocated more powerful kick to her. Beside that Ran's kick allowed him to enjoy the fight even more. For anoher example: when Chianti shot him, he was seroiuly injured by the bullet and was barely alive. Conan tried to drag him to safety but Gin noticed him and tried to shoot him. Irish protected him and died. It is very possible that Pisco's death may have caused Irish's cold-blooded and harsh personality. He didn't hesitated when he shot a bullet at Ran and he hit Conan so hard that he flew a few meters away and collapsed on the floor. Even after that Irish just continued beating him. Throughout the series it seems that [[Makoto]] and Irish are the only who can defeat Ran in fight. <br /> Irish was also a master of disguise. He disguised as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]] as he investigated the true identity of Conan.<br /> <br /> == Relationship Analysis ==<br /> <br /> * '''Pisco'''<br /> Irish looks up to and admires Pisco. He is therefore devastated when Pisco is cold-hearted killed by Gin.<br /> <br /> * '''Gin, Vodka, Chianti, and Korn'''<br /> The four other Organization members seem to look down on Irish. Gin doesn't hesitate when he orders Chianti to shoot him. Chianti doesn't question Gin's assassination command and Korn, who usually remains silent, says that he wanted to shoot him, hinting that he wouldn't think twice about killing Irish.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Irish had a strange eyebrows.<br /> <br /> * He overpowered Ran in fight.<br /> <br /> * Beside Vermouth, Irish is the only member of the Black Organization who showed respect for Conan. When Chianti shot Irish, Conan tried to drag him to safety while he was still alive but Chianti shot again and Irish protected him and died. His final words to Conan were &quot;Kudo Shinichi...Keep...coming after us...&quot;. It quite sounds like Conan gained upon Irish's confidence that moment. <br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> * [[Characters]]<br /> <br /> {{Black Organization}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Black Organization]]<br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Male characters]]<br /> [[Category:Deceased characters]]<br /> [[Category:Anime original characters]]<br /> [[Category:Characters who know Conan's identity]]<br /> [[de:Irish]]</div>
