'''{{nihongo|Heiji Hattori|服部平次|Hattori Heiji}}''', also known as '''Harley Hartwell''' in the Funimation dub, is an Osakan high school detective in the manga and anime series ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Kazuha Toyama]]. Originally a detective rival to [[Shinichi Kudo]], Heiji has since [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|found out]] [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s true identity and the two often team up to work on cases. He was the first person to ''deduce'' Conan's true identity.

== Background ==
[[File:Cuffed.png|thumb|left|Heiji and Kazuha cuffed together as children.]]
Heiji is a high school detective, and the son of [[Heizo Hattori]], chief of the Osaka Police Department, and his wife [[Shizuka Hattori]]. Heiji wants to be a detective like his father since spending his childhood looking for lost cats in his neighborhood, and he is also very skilled in kendo and has become a favored tournament contender for his school.

At one time during their childhood, Heiji had had the unfortunate idea of locking himself and his friend [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] together with a set of old handcuffs which had no key to unlock it; as a result they involuntarily had to spend time together even on some rather intimate occasions (i.e., bathroom visits) before the cuffs could be removed. As a reminder of this 'closeness' and for good luck, Kazuha fashioned two identical lucky charms, each incorporating a chain link from the cuffs, which she and Heiji have been wearing ever since.<ref name=StabbedWallet>Manga Volume 19: Files 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref>

In the news, Heiji has been publicly declared the "Great Detective of the West", while [[Shinichi Kudo]] is the "Great Detective of the East". As a result, Heiji showed up unannounced at the Mouri Detective Agency looking for Kudo, seeking to challenge his rival to a showdown of wits. (In fact, they had such a contest before, three years previously, [[Heiji Hattori vs. Shinichi Kudo: Deduction Battle on the Ski Slope|during a skiing trip in the Yamagata prefecture]], although they never learned about each other's identities at that time.<ref>Manga Chapters 518-522: Yuki-Onna Murder Case</ref>) Heiji was soundly defeated in the following case after [[Conan Edogawa]] temporarily turned back into Shinichi, but he gained a lot of respect for Shinichi in the process.<ref>Manga Chapters 092-096: The Great Detective Of The West</ref>

During their second encounter, Conan knocked Heiji out to use him as the mouthpiece for the voice-changing bow-tie. But during his final presentation of the facts, Heiji awoke prematurely and discovered Conan's secret, and in the end managed to blackmail Conan into revealing all.<ref>Manga Chapters 121: The Holmes Freak Case: The Revelation</ref> Ever since that revelation, Heiji has been helping Conan in hiding his secret identity, though he constantly slips up by calling him "Kudo" in front of [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Kazuha.

Heiji and Conan most often congenially team up to solve assorted cases. Heiji has also helped Conan investigate the [[Black Organization]] on several occasions, such as when the two investigated [[Jodie Starling]],<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=34|publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 2-7|language=English}}</ref> or when Heiji investigated [[Eisuke Hondou]] on his own and then told Conan his findings.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Meitantei Conan|volume=56|chapter=Files 7|language=Japanese}}</ref> He has also helped cover for Conan during several of the brief instances where Conan regained his true adolescent age, and has even disguised himself as Shinichi on several occasions in order to protect his identity, even though he is not very good at it (mostly owing to his distinctive Kansai dialect). When not working on a case, he regularly attempts to invite Conan to take in the sights and culinary delights of Osaka, which he considers more wholesome than Tokyo's.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Even while solving a case, Heiji tends to be lighthearted and good-humored, preferring to work through it with a grin on his face. He is a big fan of baseball, and is most of the time shown wearing an Osaka cap, to support the local Osaka baseball team. He usually wears his cap with its visor pointed backward, but if he feels challenged, he turns the visor forward.

Heiji is known for his pride as an Osaka citizen and for his thick Osakan accent, which has been pointed out and sometimes made fun numerous times. However, Heiji holds his head high and is always one to brag about the greatness of Osaka, especially when Conan comes to visit.

Despite him knowing the value and necessity of remaining calm in the face of a crime, Heiji tends to be impulsive at times, which tends to cloud his judgment a little. This was discussed directly in the "Detective Koushien" case, when [[Saguru Hakuba]] accused Heiji of being a poor detective for disrupting a crime scene in his rush to see if the victim could still be saved. Heiji, however, solved the case in the end, and reminded Saguru that the detective's first job is to prevent death if he can. Heiji is also known to be extremely protective of those he values as close friends, and tries hard to keep them out of harm. There are several instances where Hattori tells Kazuha to wait for him or leaves her behind in order to keep her from being involved in cases, simply because he's afraid of her getting hurt.<ref>Manga Volume 59, File 6, pg 6: Armored Warrior</ref><ref>Manga Volume 59, File 7, pg 11: Art of War</ref><ref name=653p3>Manga Volume 63, File 1, page 3: My Deduction</ref>

Furthermore, he's pretty much always watching Shinichi's back, and does whatever he can to not only keep Shinichi safe, but to keep his identity under cover. However, on one occasion Heiji advised Conan to tell the truth, when Ran had convinced herself that Conan was Shinichi and thus willingly gave him blood after being shot.

Heiji occasionally enjoys teasing Shinichi's kid form. He has fun jokingly (sometimes mistakenly) calling Conan "Kudo" in front of Ran at his friend's expense. He often treats Conan/ Shinichi as a younger brother and their close relationship even evokes Kazuha's jealousy from time to time. In return Conan truly trusts and respects Heiji.

Although he is very competitive when it comes to detective cases, when a case gets hot, he and Shinichi work effectively together. During Shinichi's first return to his high school during the play performance, Heiji had let him take the lead role in the investigations, saying that it was because they were in Tokyo, Shinichi's turf.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=26|publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 1-7|language=English}}</ref>

Although he frequently mocks Kazuha for her superstitions and enthusiasm for good-luck charms, Heiji has several times revealed that he puts more trust in them than he would admit. He once dreamed of Shinichi being murdered, and out subsequently insisted that Conan wear his omamori, the good luck charm Kazuha gave him. The omamori ended up saving Shinichi's life by deflecting a knife blow, but Heiji, without his usual protection, was shot in the stomach.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Meitantei Conan|volume=19|chapter=Files 5-8|language=Japanese}}</ref> In another case, Ran hung a teruterubozu, a charm that's supposed to ensure good weather, in the window so that Conan would have good weather for his field trip the next day. Heiji, however, got up in the middle of the night to take down the teruterubozu so that Conan's field trip would be rained out and he could accompany Heiji on an investigation of the The Red Horse Among The Flames.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Meitantei Conan|volume=39|language=Japanese}}</ref>

== Appearance ==
[[File:vlcsnap-2013-09-20-15h27m58s194.png|thumb|right|Heiji talks about his skin color in movie 7.]]
Heiji has dark brown, spiky hair and dark brown skin which he claims is inherited from his grandfather. His eyes are blue in the manga (like every character). Initially, his eyes appeared dark green, but are now blue<ref>Episode 710</ref>. He speaks with a strong Kansai Ben accent, which is typical of the Osaka region. Since Heiji is so strongly accustomed to this accent, his lingual habit can be a disadvantage at times, especially when he has to impersonate someone who uses standard Japanese.<ref>[[Volume 26# School Play Case|Manga Chapter 256: ''Concealed Truth'']]</ref><ref>OVA 06: ''[[Follow the Vanished Diamond! Conan & Heiji vs. Kid!]]''</ref> He has a scar behind the left ear from being hit during an Oyodo competition.

He has also been shown to be popular with girls due to his good looks, position as kendo captain at his high school, and his fame as a high school detective. For example, in episode 263 when several girls tried to flirt with him but he had switched his gear with another team member to make a last minute call to Conan to visit his match. This was shown in Magic File 4: The Osaka Okonomiyaki Killer where several girls came to ask for an autograph and in [[OVA 9]], he was referred to as a lady killer.

== Skills ==
=== Detective skills ===
Heiji's detective skills are same as Shinichi's. Because of his skills, Heiji has acquired his nick name "The Great Detective Of The West". Like Shinichi, he has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account and has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to recall every detail of an investigation, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Heiji's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony. However, unlike Shinichi, Heiji seem to be more competitive and hot-blooded while solving a case, which sometimes leads him into making a wrong deduction [[Diplomat Murder Case|i.e. the case in his first appearance.]]

=== Eidetic memory ===
Like the other 'geniuses' of Detective Conan, Heiji has shown himself to have an eidetic memory, capable of remembering complex letter and number sequences at only a glance, such as when he was able to solve a code in his head during the "Heiji and Kazuha in Grave Danger" arc, and even reproduce another message using the same code to text to Conan.

=== Athletic Ability ===
As Shinichi is to soccer, so is Heiji to kendo. He's the fifth position, or taisho, and captain of his high school Kendo team. Heiji may disable criminals using an improvised bokken similar to how Shinichi uses his soccer skills.

Heiji is also very nimble. He can jump higher than a bookshelf, and balance perfectly on a katana. This is shown in episode 263 of the anime, when Kotegawa tries to kill him.

=== Others ===
Heiji is also a capable motorcycle rider. He also speaks fluent English. During Episode 291, Heiji has shown to have the ability to deduce a woman's swimsuit without actually looking at it.

== Plot overview ==
=== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10#Great Detective of the_West|92-96]], Anime: [[Diplomat Murder Case|48-49]]) ===
One day, Conan (using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changer Tie]] to imitate [[Shinichi Kudo|his old voice]]) calls [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to tell her once again that he is all right and that he is still stuck with the 'special case' when Ran hangs up on him as someone has just entered the detective agency. Coming home, Conan finds to his surprise that the 'customer' is a youth who keeps demanding to see Shinichi Kudo. He had read of Kogoro solving cases and jumps to the conclusion that he is getting help from Shinichi. When Ran mentions that Shinichi has just called, without asking about Ran's state, the youth deduces that Shinichi must actually be nearby, watching Ran from afar. He then introduces himself as high school detective Heiji Hattori and presents a gift, a bottle of [[baijiu]], of which he gives Conan a swig. Just then, Kimie Tsujimura, the wife of a known diplomat, enters [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s office to ask him to investigate the girlfriend of her son. In order to be inconspicuous, Kogoro takes Ran and Conan along, and Heiji, hoping to flush out Shinichi, tags along as well. What is originally meant to be a simple investigation job turns out to be a murder case, as they find Kimie's husband slain at his desk.

=== Holmes Freak Case (Manga: [[Volume 12#Holmes Freak Case|117-121]], Anime: [[Holmes Freak Murder Case|57-58]]) ===
After this first case, it only takes one more run-in with Conan to get Heiji thinking about the similarities between Conan and Shinichi. It is on the "[[Holmes Freak Murder Case]]" that Heiji, despite professing a preference for [[Wikipedia: Ellery Queen|Ellery Queen]], exercises the Holmesian axiom: "When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." In addition, after Conan had [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|knocked him out]] to use him as his mouthpiece to present his evidence, Heiji receives a clout on the head from [[Kogoro Mouri]], which wakes him up again, and from the corner of his eye he spies Conan standing behind him and using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] to mimic his voice; he thus discovers Conan's secret, which forces Conan to explain his situation.

=== Bond of Fire Case (Manga: [[Volume 15#Bond of Fire Case|150-153]], Anime: [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case|77-78]]) ===
On their third case together, Conan was initially irritated to see Heiji, but they quickly formed a strong team. Together they cornered the murderer and even took steps to preventing the suicide she had planned. When she realizes that she won't be able to kill herself she weeps piteously, causing Heiji to whisper to Conan, "perhaps we should have let her die." Conan replies that "a detective who corners a murderer with logic and then lets them commit suicide is no better than a murderer."

=== Mystery Writer Case (Manga: [[Volume 19#Mystery Writer Case|183]], Anime: [[The Mystery Writer Disappearance Case|117]]) ===
Heiji calls Conan having deciphered the text in the first new chapter, and with this information Conan manages to solve the rest of the hidden riddles.

=== Stabbed Wallet Case (Manga: [[Volume 19#Stabbed Wallet Case|185-188]], Anime: [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case|118]]) ===
Heiji invites Conan (and [[Kogoro Mouri]] and [[Ran Mouri]], because otherwise it'd look suspicious) to Osaka. It is revealed by [[Kazuha Toyama]] (in her first appearance) that Heiji has been talking about 'Kudo' so often that Kazuha thought 'Kudo' was his new Tokyo girlfriend. Heiji suggests that the reason he invited Conan to Osaka is because he has been worried about Conan's safety; he has had dreams of Conan being murdered. On a case together in Osaka, Heiji gives Conan his omamori, which ends up saving his life by deflecting a knife thrust. However, without it Heiji is injured while trying to prevent the murderer from committing suicide. In the ambulance, he reveals to Conan that he has taken to heart Conan's admonishment.

=== Wedding Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 21#Wedding Murder Case|211-214]], Anime: [[The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case|141-142]]) ===
Heiji and Kazuha visit Tokyo accompanied by Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. They run into Heiji's father's friend and are invited to their mansion. There a murder occurs and his father's friend is found dead in a locked room. It seems he was dragged to another room after being stabbed in the heart. Continuing the investigation, Heiji proclaims the butler was the murderer and he is taken away, screaming his innocence. Late that night, an unknown man takes the murder weapon and tries to place it in a bag, but is caught by Heiji and Conan who reveal that they placed the blame on the butler to lure out the true culprit. The culprit is revealed to be Kikuhito Morizono. He reveals that he murdered the man because he tried to cancel the wedding and take his love away from him.

=== Cruise Ship Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 23#Cruise Ship Murder Case|225-230]], Anime: [[The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case|174]]) ===
In this episode, Heiji meets up once again with Conan and the gang on an overnight cruise in Tokyo. Unfortunately, instead of being able to spend a relaxing day on board, a serial murder case is created, leaving Heiji and Conan to work together to solve it. After they gather much of the evidence of the murder cases, Heiji and Conan share their deductions with each other only to find that, once again, their deductions are different. Heiji tries to beat Conan to the truth and goes off on his own to investigate. When he happens to come across the final piece of evidence that disproves both his and Conan's deductions, he is attacked and thrown overboard into the ocean. Later, Conan realizes that he's missing and is extremely concerned.

=== Spider Mansion Case (Manga: [[Volume 25#Spider Mansion Case|246-250]], Anime: [[Tottori Spider Mansion Demon|166-168]]) ===
Kogoro and Heiji are hired to solve a murder case in a mansion supposedly haunted by a spider demon. Heiji and Kazuha, on their way to the mansion, find one of the residents who is also lost: an American named Robert Taylor who is a photographer. The three are picked up by Kogoro and co. in a truck. Apparently, the spider god's victims are always found hanged. During their stay, they find a hanged man surrounded by web-like strings. The case continues, and Conan and Heiji investigate further in the case. Conan and Heiji cooperate to reveal the murderer's identity and his trick.

=== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 26|254-258]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|189-192]])===
[[File:190 heiji as shinichi.JPG|thumb|right|180px| Heiji attempting to disguise himself as Shinichi to alleviate Ran's suspicions.]]
Ran is cast in a school play. While discussing the play with her friends backstage, Conan shows up wearing a face mask due to a cold. During a romantic scene, a man in the audience falls dead, seemingly by potassium cyanide, as revealed by a young man in the audience who appears to be Shinichi Kudo. This is quickly debunked, as Kazuha recognizes Heiji in disguise, and the real Shinichi has shown up anyway. Heiji originally planned on disguising as Shinichi in order to clear Ran's suspicions that Conan and Shinichi were one and the same, and was unaware that Shinichi would take the antidote with Haibara present in disguise as Conan.

=== Old Photograph Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Old Photograph Murder Case|278]], Anime: [[The Client Full of Lies|221]]) ===
A woman named Shizuka Ikenami asks Kogoro to help find a man named Shiro Shibata so she could retrieve an old photograph; Conan realizes that the Ikenami is lying to Kogoro when she introduces herself for unknown reasons. After Conan solved the case, Heiji and Kazuha arrive and reveal that Shizuka Ikenami is actually Heiji's mother. Shizuka confesses and tells Kogoro that she wanted to see what kind of person he was since Heiji was injured the last time he stayed over.

=== Mermaid's Curse Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Mermaid's Curse Case|279-283]], Anime: [[And Then There Were No Mermaids|222-224]]) ===
Heiji along with Conan, Ran, and Kogoro visit the Isle of Mermaids looking for Saori, who had sent a letter to Heiji and Kogoro asking them to save her from being killed by a mermaid, but when they try to look for her she has been reported missing. Conan and Heiji investigate the area and history of Mermaids Grave, a forest on the island. They learn that an elder who is over 130 years old is a holder of the arrow and the head of the festival. While investigating, three murders occur. Conan reveals to Heiji he knows who the murderer is and to meet him later, but later he and Kazuha fall off a cliff. Kazuha attempts to save Heiji by stabbing him with an arrow so that he would let go of her and save himself, but Heiji persists and ends up saving both Kazuha and himself in the end.

=== K3 Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 29#K3 Murder Case|293-295]], Anime: [[The 3 "K"s of Osaka Case|238-239]]) ===
At the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan is on the phone talking to Heiji about the much publicised K3 Restaurant's opening party. Heiji's parents got invited but they both got colds and are unable to attend. Heiji decides to invite Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to come to the party. Three famous athletes from America are going to be there also. Once Heiji tells Conan who the three athletes are, Conan accepts the invitation. Suddenly, the news reporter named Ed McCay, who was invited to the K3 Restaurant, asks whether Japan isn't the home of many scandals, and mentions that K stands for "kitanai" meaning filth. Heiji wonders who he is and Kogoro mentions that McCay is famous in America. He's a reporter who specializes in exposing famous athletes' scandals like taking illegal drugs, playing fixed games and having secret affairs. McCay later gets murdered, but Heiji and Conan solve the case.

=== Police Escort Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 30#Police Escort Murder Case|296]], Anime: [[The Shinkansen Transport Case|240]]) ===

Heiji invites Conan to his kendo tournament but a drunk man named Atsushi Tarumi is found dead in the storage room. Heiji comes to investigate only to find that the body had somehow been moved to the shower room without anyone noticing. While Heiji was investigating, Kazuha suddenly appears asking Heiji to come back and take part in tournament and told him that Shinichi (actually Conan, with whom Heiji was talking using the name "Kudo") would solve this case before him, which made Heiji jealous and he told Kazuha to not to tell anything about this case to Kudo. After a thorough investigation, Heiji reveals the culprit before Shinichi. However, in the end Heiji's high school lost the tournament because of Heiji's absence, but he seemed to be happy because he won his duel against Kudo. After the culprit is arrested, Heiji and Conan explore the town.

=== Tiger Scroll Case (Manga: [[Volume 31#Tiger Scroll Case|317-321]], Anime: [[The Osaka Double Mystery - The Naniwa Swordsman and Toyotomi's Castle|263]]) ===

=== Flying Neighbor Case (Manga: [[Volume 34#Flying Neighbor Case|341-343]], Anime: [[English Teacher vs. Great Western Detective|277-278]]) ===
While at Agasa's house, Conan recalls his last meeting with the Black Organization. Conan deduces that another Black Organization member must have been at the hotel party. This is when he finally singles out Chris Vineyard as his suspect. Heiji came to Tokyo to help Conan out with the case. Heiji suspects Jodie-sensei of being a possible Black Organization member, and although Conan seems reluctant to support this idea, they pay Jodie-sensei a visit at her apartment. They find out here that her full name is "Jodie Saintemillion". After Jodie agrees to go out for a while with Heiji and Conan, the man living next door to Jodie falls dead outside from over 30 stories coincidentally as the three step outside. After the police arrive, it seems likely that the man committed suicide. However, Conan and Heiji have their doubts. Heiji immediately destroys the theory of suicide by showing that the man who fell from his apartment attempted to grab onto a curtain to save his life. Conan and Heiji reveal the truth by showing how the room was switched around so that when the man was drunken he would expect to be stepping out onto the balcony, but instead would wind up falling. After they solve the case, Heiji asks Jodie who she is. In reply, Jodie asks Heiji the same question. When Conan and Heiji leave, they concur that Jodie is suspicious but innocuous. The ending scene shows that she's already on to them in that Jodie's already knows Heiji's name and has pictures of Kudo during the time he regressed back to his former self in the Desperate Revival arc.

=== Mysterious Words Case (Manga: [[Volume 35#Mysterious Words Case|361-365]], Anime: [[Solitary Island of the Princess and the Dragon King's Palace|291-293]]) ===

=== Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation (Manga: [[Volume 38#Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation|390-392]], Anime: [[Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation!|323-324]]) ===

Heiji, Kazuha and a man named Kasukawa are held hostage in an attic of someone's home. Meanwhile, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are tired of waiting for the two and begin searching for them based on clues from the last phone call. They investigate Detective Kasukawa's home and discover evidence that Heiji had been there. Conan finds a memo which discloses Kenbashi City, Ito Residence. They investigate those with the surname Ito but are unable to find information about Heiji. Meanwhile, it is revealed Heiji is held hostage by Misari Ito, an attorney who is the head of a tax evasion group. Ito demands Heiji to solve a code made by Kasukawa which contains a seven-digit-code to a safe box containing evidence of her scandal. While held at gunpoint, Heiji sends a modified version of the code to Kogoro and asks him to solve it. Conan manages to solve the code, realizing that K, Q, and J stand for King, Queen, and Jack and replaces them with numbers accordingly. When Heiji receives the code back from Kogoro, he tells Misari he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Conan realizes the last three digits are actually letters and realizes what Heiji is trying to tell him and replies a modified code. Heiji tells Misari Ito he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Heiji reveals that the numbers, if placed in a 3 by 3 diagram, will create a diagram of a dice with the 1's representing the dots on a dice. Heiji reveals that the code he sent Kogoro had the letters LIB meaning Libra which is referring to the scales Libra and the attorney badge Ito has; He explains that the code "Kogoro" replied with means to "Lure One of them Out". At Ito's home, Conan knocks out the two kidnappers and frees Kazuha. The police arrive later and apprehends the criminals.

=== Red Horse Case (Manga: [[Volume 39#Red Horse Case|393-397]], Anime: [[The Red Horse within the Flames|325-327]]) ===
While Heiji and Kazuha were having dinner over at [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s place, Kogoro started to discuss about the serial cases that have been occurring in the area. At every crime scene, a horse would be found engulfed in flames, as the house where the crime occurred, gets burnt down. Humorously, all the cases that appeared to be linked to a serial killer, were not connected at all. It was all done to lessen the suspicion on the culprit's true intention of murder. During their conversation, Heiji invited Kogoro and Conan to assist him in a new case that he wished to solve. They keep a close watch on the house whose occupant had asked for their assistance, even after the one who requested them declined the service. They kept surveillance for a long time until Ran called and asked them to hurry back home for dinner. Just as they left, the house went up in flames, along with a red horse. The woman who had asked them for help was burnt to death. The case triggered the enthusiasm in the two young detectives (Conan and Heiji), and they uncovered the murderer through a joint investigation.

A flashback then occurs to reveal what had happened before. It was on a middle school trip among many different schools when a crime happened. A famous actor was murdered, but was told to have committed suicide. Heiji and Shinichi both had set out to solve the case independently, only to know time and again that the other person was just ahead of them in figuring things out. The two detectives had unknowingly solved the same case and stumbled upon the same conclusion, without knowing who the other person is. At the end of the episode it is revealed that the totally awesome detective that Heiji is talking about, is none other than Shinichi.

Heiji, along with Ran, Kogoro and Kazuha, finds Shinichi with his memory completely erased, during a village trip. They are also surprised to find that almost everyone in the village seems to hate Shinichi, due to a supposedly 'stupid' and 'flawed' solution he gave about the deaths of the local leader and his wife, one year ago. A news reporter, who was present to cover the original case, accuses Shinichi of faking the memory loss and states that she knows the 'truth' about him. The next morning, the reporter is found stabbed, with no one but Shinichi in the house, and a knife with him, turning him into the one and only suspect.

Heiji takes it upon himself to both prove Shinichi's innocence and hide him from the police, helped by Ran, Kogoro and Kazuha. He skilfully proves that the culprit had undergone cosmetic surgery, to impersonate Shinichi and commit a crime to destroy his reputation. The real Shinichi, too, turns up (after mistakenly ingesting [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]]'s APTX 4869 antidote prototype) to justify his deductions about the year-old double deaths.

After the antidote's effects start wearing off, Heiji tries to prevent Shinichi from turning into Conan in front of Ran, by taking him to the toilet and asking him to hide in his (Heiji's) travel bag, so that he can make up some story about the disappearance and get him home.

Heiji and Shinichi, after narrowing down the suspects, together apprehend the criminal with such finesse that even Detective [[Miwako Sato]] (who happened to be present there along with her colleague, [[Wataru Takagi]]) is left surprised. Heiji also lends Shinichi his cap to prevent him from being recognized easily, due to Shinichi's fears about the [[Black Organization]].

== Non-Canon Plot Overview ==

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Kazuha Toyama ====
{{main|Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama}}
Like Shinichi's relationship with Ran, Heiji's relationship with [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] is a very close one: they know each other since their childhoods, and have stayed close through the years. Their relationship is identified as a romantic one by other characters and fans alike, even though they claim that they don't have that sort of relationship or feelings for each other. Heiji is clueless when it comes to love and in the majority of the manga and anime has not yet realized he has actual feelings for Kazuha. However, it has been shown that he becomes visibly jealous when he sees Kazuha with other guys, becoming distracted throughout the whole case. At one point, after a certain case, while looking at Kazuha, his thoughts read: 'Fool. You're too naive. I promise you, as long as you're with me, I'll never let anyone hurt you.'. Kazuha knows she has feelings for Heiji, as she shows this by being protective and chasing off other women that might have a interest in him In on of the mangas Kazuha attempts to confess her feelings after finding out that Shinichi had done so with Ran, but is unlucky because by telling him, Heiji ran off to tease Conan(Shinichi) for it. She one time even attempted to sacrifice herself to save Heiji during a case in which accidentally both fell off a cliff. When the branch that Heiji was holding and both of them were hanging on to was breaking, she stabbed his hand with an arrow of love to prevent him from falling and force him to let her fall; however, he still held on despite the wound. Also, they have a similar situation to Ran and Shinichi, being childhood friends that have romantic feelings for each other and have similar backgrounds. Heiji is a teenage detective and she is a police detective's daughter, like Ran is a detective's daughter and Shinichi is a teenage detective. They are even called the 'Ran and Shinichi of Osaka' by fans of the series, since they're so similar. Although they are constantly fighting, they both are very close friends. It is also shown in the seventh movie, ''[[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]'', that Kazuha is Heiji's first love, though he didn't know it was her at the time. In the most recent case, Heiji confessed to Kazuha when she was taken away by some suspicious men, saying "What are you doing to my Kazuha?!". When Kazuha questioned him about it, he claimed that she was wrong and there was no evidence that proves his confession (although Shinichi recorded it). Nonetheless, it is shown in the file 912 that he has actually realized his feelings for her, as Ran questions him about the confession. He denies it to her, but thinks that he needed a more important place to confess, as Kudo confessed in front of the Big Ben.

==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
Heiji acts rather brotherly towards [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], even going so far as to pretend to be him on various occasions so that no one figures out that Shinichi and Conan are the same person. Of course, this might also be to make up for all the times Heiji calls him Kudo, which has nearly given Shinichi away multiple times. Heiji is concerned for Shinichi when he gets into trouble and life-or-death situations. They are as close as real brothers, both being detectives who have romantic feelings for their childhood friends. When they're caught solving a case together, it's not unusual for their minds to move in sync; because of this and several other factors, they maintain a sort of friendly rivalry with each other. However, they are both all business when a case gets serious. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend.

==== Ran Mouri ====
Heiji and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] are very good friends, bonding after Heiji's many trips to Tokyo because he "misses Conan". Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side.

Since Heiji knows that Ran is Shinichi's Girlfriend, he tends to tease Shinichi about her quite often and will give him advice on his romantic relationship with her. Since it's practically identical with his relationship with Kazuha (Even though they aren't on the same level as Shinichi & Ran's romantic relationship).

Heiji almost views Ran as a sister, as he will tease her from time to time and he'll help explain things to her during cases along with Kazuha.

==== Heizo Hattori ====
Heiji wants to become a detective, and his [[Heizo Hattori|father]] is very supportive of this, helping him solve tough cases. However, his father prefers a "tough love" approach, though mostly for the sole purpose of using Heiji to lure out a suspect.

==== Shizuka Hattori ====
[[Shizuka Hattori|Shizuka]] is Heiji's mother and he sometimes calls her an "old lady".

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] respects him a little as a detective, but due to Heiji being the better detective, he seems to get annoyed whenever Heiji is with him while solving cases.

==== Goro Otaki ====
[[Goro Otaki|Otaki]] and Heiji are very good friends.

==== Juzo Megure ====
Usually [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] gets a little annoyed whenever Heiji runs into a case he is handling. He often tells Kogoro to not to lose to an outsider like Heiji. Despite this, Megure respects Heiji as a very skilled detective, and he has even declared Heiji as a better detective than Shinichi.

==== Momiji Ooka ====
[[Momiji Ooka|Momiji]] is close to her "future husband" Heiji.

'''{{nihongo|Yukiko Kudo|工藤有希子|Kudō Yukiko}}''' is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]], both being excellent masters of disguise.

== Background ==
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> 

Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref>

Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

== Personality ==
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl").
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> She takes pride in being an excellent actress and a mistress of disguise, able to fool even close friends and family with her skills. She is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family ===
{{main|Kudo family}}

==== Yusaku Kudo ====
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.

==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assists him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.

=== Friends ===
==== Eri Kisaki ====
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.

In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference.

==== Ran Mouri ====
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in [[Episode 96]], when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival ]] arc.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. She likes visiting him every week.

==== Sharon Vineyard ====

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

== Trivia ==
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.

'''{{nihongo|Yukiko Kudo|工藤有希子|Kudō Yukiko}}''' is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]], both being excellent masters of disguise.

== Background ==
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> 

Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref>

Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

== Personality ==
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl").
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> She takes pride in being an excellent actress and a mistress of disguise, able to fool even close friends and family with her skills. She is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her.

Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.

==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assists him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.

==== Eri Kisaki ====
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.

In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference.

==== Ran Mouri ====
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in [[Episode 96]], when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival ]] arc.

Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. She likes visiting him every week.

== Trivia ==
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.

'''{{nihongo|Yukiko Kudo|工藤有希子|Kudō Yukiko}}''' is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]], both being excellent masters of disguise.

== Background ==
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> 

Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref>

Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

== Personality ==
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl").
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> She takes pride in being an excellent actress and a mistress of disguise, able to fool even close friends and family with her skills. She is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her.

'''{{nihongo|Yukiko Kudo|工藤有希子|Kudō Yukiko}}''' is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]], both being excellent masters of disguise.

== Background ==
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> 

Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref>

Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

== Personality ==
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl").

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

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family ===
{{main|Kudo family}}

==== Yusaku Kudo ====
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.

==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assists him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.

=== Friends ===
==== Eri Kisaki ====
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.

In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference.

==== Ran Mouri ====
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in [[Episode 96]], when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival ]] arc.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. She likes visiting him every week.

==== Sharon Vineyard ====

She often acts without thinking ahead, thereby usually dragging [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (and by extension, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]) into her schemes<ref name=e457-458>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> or firing her mouth away with wild tales.<ref name=m94>[[Volume 94#Crimson School Trip Case|Manga Volume 94, File 1000: ''Crimson School Trip Case'']]</ref> Often she acts very insensitively to other's feelings; while she encourages Ran to take her relationship with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] to a higher level, she just as much enjoys teasing her best friend and beholding her embarrassment.<ref name=m22>[[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|Manga Volume 22, File 219: ''Sonoko's Camera Case'']]</ref><ref name=m25>[[Volume 25#Skating Rink Case|Manga Volume 25, File 243: ''Skating Rink Case'']]</ref><ref name=m72>[[Volume 72#Horror Show|Manga Volume 72, File 756: ''Horror Show Case'']]</ref><ref name=m94/>

At the series' start, Sonoko's primary interest was in boys and in trying to snag the "perfect boy". She often tried multiple avenues to attract a boyfriend, including dressing up specifically to attract a boy, making a boy chocolates,<ref name=e6>[[Valentine Murder Case|Episode 6: Valentine Murder Case]]</ref> trying to impress a boy while wearing a bikini,<ref name=e72>[[The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case|Episode 72: The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case]]</ref> or going to various events that young guys were going to attend.<ref name=e84-85>[[Ski Lodge Murder Case|Episode 84-85: Ski Lodge Murder Case]]</ref> Whenever Ran's company diverts the attention of Sonoko's target, Sonoko feels jealous and disappointed (although this has never affected their friendship).<ref name=e34-35>[[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Episode 34-35: Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]]</ref> However, this changed when Sonoko met and began dating [[Makoto Kyogoku|Makoto]]. Although Sonoko is still easily attracted to other men,<ref>[[Volume 61#Paper Airplane Case|Manga Chapter 638: Paper Airplane]]</ref> she is loyal to Makoto and tries to act the way she thinks a girlfriend should, including making him gifts<ref name=e228-229/> and planning romantic rendezvous.<ref name=e457-458/>

Sonoko loves to go on big vacations, like expensive ski trips,<ref name=e84-85/> and loves to buy fancy clothes and items.<ref name=e217-218/> She also loves to go to festivals where sugary sweets are on display, often picking up gigantic plates filled with various cakes.<ref name=e368>[[The Candy House the Witch Lives In|Episode 368: The Candy House the Witch Lives In]]</ref> She has even used [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] for the sole purpose of having a children's discount on food.<ref name=e547-548>[[Two Days with the Culprit|Episode 547-548: Two Days with the Culprit]]</ref> She is also a big fan of the band LEX,<ref name=e42>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> and various other people in pop music, including [[Two-Mix]].<ref name=e81-82>[[The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case|Episode 81-82: The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case]]</ref>

Conan has had to use Sonoko sometimes when he needs to do a deduction show. At first he struggled to mimic Sonoko's mannerisms and feminine speech patterns, but now he is better at it.<ref name=e79>[[The Bank Heist Murder Case|Episode 79: The Bank Heist Murder Case]]</ref> However, because he has had to use Sonoko so often for a deduction, she, like [[Kogoro Mouri]], has completely bought into her whole "sleeping" person, calling herself the best detective in [[Setting#Teitan High School|Teitan High School]], and a "Deduction Queen."<ref name=e79/> This makes Conan sometimes regret using her to solve a case, though he does admire her courage in certain situations. Sonoko is sometimes able to solve little things on her own, and can figure things out when she is provided some assistance by Conan, such as when Conan was sick and had to communicate to Sonoko, Kogoro, and [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]] in charades and sign language.<ref name=e331-332>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref>

Like many other people, Sonoko is a big fan of the [[Kaitou Kid]], due to his style, charm and daring exploits. She keeps cheering him on in trying to steal something, even when that 'something' is a rare treasure of the Suzuki family. She wishes to meet Kid up close (and have it develop into something more), and sometimes almost gets her wish, but is very disappointed at the ultimate failure.<ref name=e356>[[Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk|Episode 356: Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk]]</ref>

== Appearance ==
When not in the Teitan High School uniform, Sonoko often wears a bandanna holding back her fringe, a skirt, and a cute shirt. Her clothes often show more skin compared to Ran, mostly for the purpose of attracting guys. In [[Countdown to Heaven]], she temporarily changes her hairstyle to a perm.

== Plot overview ==
=== Deduction Queen Sonoko (Manga: [[Volume 5#Bandaged Man Case|40-44]], Anime: [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|34-35]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko35.png|thumb|left|Deduction Queen Sonoko appears!]]
Conan and Ran visit Sonoko's mountain villa to see the autumn leaves and meet up with some old friends. On the way to the front they see a strange bandaged man in a dark cloak crossing the bridge. When they see him turn around, they are shocked at his face, as he quickly makes a retreat around the side of the house. Everything seems fine as Ran tries to find her room, accidentally walking in on the men also staying the house. When everyone is asked about the bandaged man he is brushed off as possibly a crazy man with nothing better to do. However, he is taken far more seriously when Ran is attacked in the woods, but the attacker is scared off by Conan, and later one of the women is seen being carried off by him from the windows. Conan and the other men chase him and find her dismembered body in the woods.

Everyone decides that it's best to go to bed for the night, when he strikes again, this time trying to kill Ran in her sleep. Conan saves Ran by waking her up to defend herself, but when the bandaged man retreats Conan wonders why Ran is a target. Everyone decides to stay up for the night and keep together to throw off the murderous man. Conan suspects that Ran saw something that made her a target, and the culprit is one of the people staying there. Despite having solved the case, Conan cannot present the solution, since his usual mouthpiece Kogoro isn't there to be put to sleep. So, he decides to solve the case through Ran. When he shoots the anaesthetic needle, however, Sonoko ends up in the way and she falls asleep. Left with no choice, Conan reveals the killer via Sonoko. While Sonoko doesn't remember making the deductions, she is very proud at having "solved" the case.

=== An Important Date (Manga: [[Volume 11#Coffee Shop Case|105-107]], Anime: [[Coffee Shop Murder Case|32]]) ===
At the end of the case, Conan asks Ran if she was meeting Shiro Wakaoji, a young man who was in the coffee shop with plans to take advantage of a "naive" teenage girl he met while skiing, despite his already having a girlfriend. She says no, but Shiro tries to flirt with her just before Sonoko announces her presence—Sonoko was his intended date, but she overheard Conan revealing Shiro's intentions. She slaps Shiro and storms away.

=== Makoto's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|219-221]], Anime: [[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|153-154]]) ===
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu, where Sonoko's schemes to get a boyfriend. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi (since she likes teasing Ran and Shinichi frequently about being an "old married couple"). Sonoko also laments about her lack of a love life, just before a college student, Michiwaki, asks her out to lunch. Ecstatic at the romantic attention, she agrees to lunch and then to dinner as well. However, due to nervousness, she has Ran and Conan come along for lunch. During the meal, Michiwaki tells a story that young brunette girls have been found murdered in the woods not far from the restaurant, once a year ago and once much more recently, but he offers to keep Sonoko safe.
[[File: EP153-154b_Case.jpg|thumb|right|The serial killer tries to kill Sonoko.]]
Later, Sonoko is attacked when she interrupts a suspicious figure searching her belongings, and bites him in self-defense before he escapes. The stoic and somewhat unfriendly high school student, [[Makoto Kyogoku]], who is working at the ''ryokan'' moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen him somewhere before but cannot remember where. Michiwaki arrives muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko, but he does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker because the attacker was hairy. Michiwaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the ''ryokan'' because Michiwaki says that his car has broken down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos, but perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs (about sending them to Shinichi) and misunderstood.

The next day, Michiwaki, Ran and Conan go to eat at a restaurant while Sonoko tries to have a light sleep in the car. Suddenly, the car starts rolling towards the nearby cliff edge, and Sonoko barely escapes with her life. However, there is no evidence pointing towards the culprit. Ran and Conan go to report the incident while Michiwaki keeps Sonoko company. When alone on a walk in the forest, Michiwaki reveals that he is the serial killer and Sonoko is his target. Before he can hurt her, Makoto appears and saves her with an impressive martial arts display. Ran realizes that Makoto is a martial arts champion she has seen in competitions before. Makoto confesses awkwardly that he loves Sonoko, to Sonoko's surprise and delight. Though Makoto is often travelling for tournaments, he and Sonoko maintain a long-distance relationship.

=== Jodie's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 27#Arcade Murder Case|271-273]], Anime: [[The Battle Game Trap|226-227]]) ===
[[File: Sonoko227.png|thumb|right|Sonoko thinks about Makoto.]]
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are at the arcade taking sticker photos, which Ran realizes Sonoko suggested because Sonoko wants to put a sticker with her face on a letter to Makoto. Sonoko blushes but doesn't deny it. Soon after, they encounter their High School English teacher, Jodie Saintemillion, who is an avid gamer. Jodie introduces Ran to a virtual reality fighting game which uses mechanics to simulate a real fight. Ran loses to a gamer named Kengo Bito who taunts her for losing before going on to fight against his rival, Takayasu Shimizu. The battle is projected on a large screen, showing Bito's avatar overwhelming Shimizu's until just before the final blow. At the strange behavior, spectators check on Bito and discover that he is dead.

The police investigate and after reviewing the security camera's footage, they limit the suspects down to four people. When Conan deduces the culprit, he uses Sonoko again as he mouthpiece to expose the murderer. On the way home, Jodie says that Sonoko was like Kate Martin, and Ran says Sonoko was just like Shinichi. Ran and Sonoko part with Jodie on good terms.

=== Girl Clubbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Girl Clubbing Case|284-286]], Anime: [[Megure's Sealed Secret|217-218]]) ===
Ran and Sonoko shop for a sweater that Sonoko wants to buy for Makoto; Ran scold Sonoko when she realizes Sonoko wants to pass the sweater off as hand-knitted by her. Ran sends Sonoko ahead to join Kogoro and Conan at a pasta shop, where they had coincidentally encountered the police investigating serial attacks on Japanese women following the "ganguro" fashion with darkly tanned skin, bleached hair, turtlenecks, miniskirts and high platform boots. Ran gets turned around and ends up in the parking lot, where she discovers a fourth victim, dead.
[[File: Sonoko218.png|thumb|right|Sonoko... saved!?]]
During the investigation, Sonoko and Ran point out that the victims are wearing a jacket that wasn't theirs, and Conan realizes the victims were attacked just after leaving somewhere warm—their cars. Sonoko leaves to put her shopping in the car and then use the toilet, attracting the attention of someone in the crowd. It turns out the culprit blames the victim wearing platform shoes while driving on the death of his son, and he is attacking any woman who drives with platform shoes. Sonoko is wearing platform shoes, and when she leaves the department store toilet the culprit is waiting to attack her. Sonoko screams and runs away, but manages to knock off the hat and scarf hiding his face, leaving him determined to kill her so she can't identify him. As Sonoko runs, her ankle twists under her and she falls. When the murderer attacks her, however, Inspector Megure arrives in the nick of time to protect her and confront the culprit. Megure was injured while protecting Sonoko, and at the hospital, Superintendent Matsumoto tells Ran and Sonoko the story of a girl Megure knew who impersonated a serial killer's victims and was gravely injured. Sonoko and Ran are moved to tears, thinking that the girl died, but it turns out that she survived and is now Megure's wife.

=== Murderous Pottery Class (Manga: [[Volume 30#Pottery Class Case|305-307]], Anime: [[The Murderous Pottery Class|228-229]]) ===
[[File: Sonoko228.png|thumb|left|Sonoko looking at Ran's vessel.]]
Sonoko shows off to Ran what she made in pottery class, a small cup for her with Makoto's name on it and a large cup for Makoto with her name on it. Her purpose is to have Makato think of her every time he drinks from it, so that he can't forget her and fall in love with another woman. She invites Ran to join the pottery class as well, and Ran thinks of Shinichi and accepts. As Ran works on her project, Sonoko tries to have Ran confess what she's written on the cup, but Ran refuses. Meanwhile, Conan sneaks in to spy on them, but gets caught. Sonoko keeps teasing Ran as they continue working, until a strange crash leads Ran to investigate—but not before warning off Sonoko from checking on Ran's project. A murder has occurred, and Conan investigates to discover the culprit. On finding the truth, he uses "Deduction Queen Sonoko" to reveal the killer.

A few days later, Sonoko shows Ran a picture that Makoto sent her—to Sonoko's embarrassment, Makoto mistook her cup for a vase, and sent her a picture showing off the flowers he'd put in it.

During the cruise, the party members are divided into groups; team "Devil" consists of Kogoro, Sonoko, and people disguised as a werewolf, a mummy, a medusa and an invisible man. During the party, the host is murdered by a crossbow arrow with a card identifying team devil attached. Sonoko investigates with Kogoro and both suspect the mummy, who has no card, but later it is revealed to have been a trick. Sonoko is shocked when the invisible man turns out to be Shinichi, who solves the case, although he is later revealed to have actually been [[Heiji Hattori]] in disguise.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends===
{{main|Suzuki family}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|right|thumb|Sonoko hugging Ran.]]
Sonoko and [[Ran]] have been best friends ever since they were little.<ref name=MF3>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko is often there to help Ran whenever she is bullied by other school children, more often there than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was.<ref name=MF3 /> They were often shown hanging out with each others on the way home after school. Sonoko usually invites Ran to join her on trips, family events (such as [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi's]] [[Kaitou Kid|Kid]] heists), other trips or activities<ref>The Bell Tree Express.</ref>, or simply just go shopping together. Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=e576>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship. Ran once chose to not go on a ski vacation with Sonoko because she didn't have the money to pay for her own trip, when she knew that Sonoko would pay for her to go if asked.<ref name=e329-330>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Despite teasing Ran about her feelings for Shinichi, it also seems that Sonoko, at some point, wants Ran to respond to Shinichi's confession and at least try helping her on that matter.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|the man of her own]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got the attentions from boys.<ref>[[Volume 22#File 219 - Go On.2C Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> However, this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi are childhood frineds. They know each other since childhood. Sonoko finds Shinichi's mystery affection annoying and considers him as arrogant and showoff but acknowledge his knowledge and intelligence deeply. On the other hand Shinichi finds Sonoko annoying as she constantly teases Ran and him about their relationship, calling them Husband and Wife, or Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Shinichi also finds Sonoko's attempts of attracting boys rather irritating. Sonoko is the only few people who calls Shinichi by his first name with the honorific '-kun'. Shinichi, in turns, also calls Sonoko by her first name, but without including any honorific.
In Conan Edogawa form, whenever Shinichi/ [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is near Sonoko, she gets annoyed. She thinks of him as a brat who knows a lot of weird stuff. Conan finds her annoying in turn, especially when she teases Ran about her relationship with Shinichi.

==== Makoto Kyogoku ====
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while on a vacation, when he worked at his father's hotel in his spare time.<ref name=e153-154>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.<ref name=e153-154/> This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.<ref name=e153-154 /> According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and fiery she was in trying to cheer her friend on.<ref name=e153-154/> After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.<ref name=e153-154/>
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=e266-268>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=e457-458/> Sonoko loves to plot romantic rendezvous with Makoto,<ref name=e457-458/>; he tries to go along, though things don't always go the way Sonoko imagines they will.<ref name=e266-268/><ref name=e457-458/> He often warns her against dressing to revealingly, afraid she'll attract predatory men as a result.<ref name=e153-154/><ref name=e266-268/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=e217-218>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=e228-229>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her purse, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=e304>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him Valentine's chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=e266-268/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=e266-268/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, Sonoko has stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
While having a conversation with Ran and Kazuha, Sonoko once jokingly stated that she was interested in Heiji.<ref>[[Volume 26]], File 255, Page 7</ref>

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Sonoko and Kazuha have met each other only a few times in the anime. Despite this, they have a friendly relationship. In movie 10, Sonoko seemed to be pleased after seeing Kazuha at the Wonder Land, she even offered her to come with her and Ran.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Sonoko and Ran are good friends with [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]], and they are often seen returning home together after school. Sonoko has a habit of teasing Masumi about her "flat chest". However, she does acknowledge Masumi's popularity in school due to her deductive abilities and her prowess in martial arts.

=== Others ===
==== Kaito Kid ====
[[File:701 4.png|thumb|Sonoko is really impressed with Kaitou Kid.]]
Sonoko thinks that [[Kaitou Kid]] is a really cool guy because of his quick and versatile actions when he is doing his thievery.

== Quotes ==
{{cquote|Are you an idiot? So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?|Sonoko to Shodo.<ref name=e576 />}}

== Trivia ==
* According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Sonoko was supposed to appear only once in the anime, but since the staff liked Sonoko's voice actor's portrayal so much, they made her appear more.
* According to Suwa, [[Momiji Ooka]] was made to be the "Sonoko of the West".
* Sonoko has been shown to be very aggressive. For example when Genta called her "Auntie Sonoko", she punched him extremely hard, and when she was interrupted by a soccer ball, she threw it back at the kicker, causing him to fall back.
* The first Latin American Spanish dub (until Episode 123) was very inconsistent regarding Sonoko's name. She was usually called Sarita, but she has also been called Susana, Anabela, Sonia and others. The new dub retains the original names, so the inconsistency is now gone.
* "Sonoko" (園子) is written with the characters for "garden" and "child".

'''{{nihongo|Sonoko Suzuki|鈴木園子|Suzuki Sonoko}}''', known in the Funimation English dub as '''Serena Sebastian''', is a character from the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Sonoko is [[Ran Mouri]]'s best friend and is the girlfriend of [[Makoto Kyogoku]], with whom she currently is in a long-distance relationship. [[Conan Edogawa]] sometimes has to knock her out with his stun gun watch to use her as his mouthpiece. Because of this, Sonoko has claimed to be a great high school detective in her own right, "Deduction Queen Sonoko".

== Background ==
Sonoko Suzuki is the second daughter of Shiro Suzuki, head of the extremely wealthy family and large company (second only to the [[Karasuma family]], the most powerful in Japan), and his wife Tomoko. She has an older sister, [[Ayako Suzuki|Ayako]], and an uncle, [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi]], who is often involved in trying to capture the [[Kaitou Kid]]. She and Ran have been close friends since before Junior High School.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-04-20h34m41s202.png|right|thumb|Sonoko is rather expressive.]]
Sonoko's primary character traits are her impulsiveness, her temper and sense for romanticism. She often acts without thinking ahead, thereby usually dragging [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (and by extension, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]) into her schemes<ref name=e457-458>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> or firing her mouth away with wild tales.<ref name=m94>[[Volume 94#Crimson School Trip Case|Manga Volume 94, File 1000: ''Crimson School Trip Case'']]</ref> Often she acts very insensitively to other's feelings; while she encourages Ran to take her relationship with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] to a higher level, she just as much enjoys teasing her best friend and beholding her embarrassment.<ref name=m22>[[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|Manga Volume 22, File 219: ''Sonoko's Camera Case'']]</ref><ref name=m25>[[Volume 25#Skating Rink Case|Manga Volume 25, File 243: ''Skating Rink Case'']]</ref><ref name=m72>[[Volume 72#Horror Show|Manga Volume 72, File 756: ''Horror Show Case'']]</ref><ref name=m94/>

At the series' start, Sonoko's primary interest was in boys and in trying to snag the "perfect boy". She often tried multiple avenues to attract a boyfriend, including dressing up specifically to attract a boy, making a boy chocolates,<ref name=e6>[[Valentine Murder Case|Episode 6: Valentine Murder Case]]</ref> trying to impress a boy while wearing a bikini,<ref name=e72>[[The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case|Episode 72: The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case]]</ref> or going to various events that young guys were going to attend.<ref name=e84-85>[[Ski Lodge Murder Case|Episode 84-85: Ski Lodge Murder Case]]</ref> Whenever Ran's company diverts the attention of Sonoko's target, Sonoko feels jealous and disappointed (although this has never affected their friendship).<ref name=e34-35>[[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Episode 34-35: Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]]</ref> However, this changed when Sonoko met and began dating [[Makoto Kyogoku|Makoto]]. Although Sonoko is still easily attracted to other men,<ref>[[Volume 61#Paper Airplane Case|Manga Chapter 638: Paper Airplane]]</ref> she is loyal to Makoto and tries to act the way she thinks a girlfriend should, including making him gifts<ref name=e228-229/> and planning romantic rendezvous.<ref name=e457-458/>

Sonoko loves to go on big vacations, like expensive ski trips,<ref name=e84-85/> and loves to buy fancy clothes and items.<ref name=e217-218/> She also loves to go to festivals where sugary sweets are on display, often picking up gigantic plates filled with various cakes.<ref name=e368>[[The Candy House the Witch Lives In|Episode 368: The Candy House the Witch Lives In]]</ref> She has even used [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] for the sole purpose of having a children's discount on food.<ref name=e547-548>[[Two Days with the Culprit|Episode 547-548: Two Days with the Culprit]]</ref> She is also a big fan of the band LEX,<ref name=e42>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> and various other people in pop music, including [[Two-Mix]].<ref name=e81-82>[[The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case|Episode 81-82: The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case]]</ref>

Conan has had to use Sonoko sometimes when he needs to do a deduction show. At first he struggled to mimic Sonoko's mannerisms and feminine speech patterns, but now he is better at it.<ref name=e79>[[The Bank Heist Murder Case|Episode 79: The Bank Heist Murder Case]]</ref> However, because he has had to use Sonoko so often for a deduction, she, like [[Kogoro Mouri]], has completely bought into her whole "sleeping" person, calling herself the best detective in [[Setting#Teitan High School|Teitan High School]], and a "Deduction Queen."<ref name=e79/> This makes Conan sometimes regret using her to solve a case, though he does admire her courage in certain situations. Sonoko is sometimes able to solve little things on her own, and can figure things out when she is provided some assistance by Conan, such as when Conan was sick and had to communicate to Sonoko, Kogoro, and [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]] in charades and sign language.<ref name=e331-332>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref>

Like many other people, Sonoko is a big fan of the [[Kaitou Kid]], due to his style, charm and daring exploits. She keeps cheering him on in trying to steal something, even when that 'something' is a rare treasure of the Suzuki family. She wishes to meet Kid up close (and have it develop into something more), and sometimes almost gets her wish, but is very disappointed at the ultimate failure.<ref name=e356>[[Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk|Episode 356: Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk]]</ref>

== Appearance ==
When not in the Teitan High School uniform, Sonoko often wears a bandanna holding back her fringe, a skirt, and a cute shirt. Her clothes often show more skin compared to Ran, mostly for the purpose of attracting guys. In [[Countdown to Heaven]], she temporarily changes her hairstyle to a perm.

== Plot overview ==
=== Deduction Queen Sonoko (Manga: [[Volume 5#Bandaged Man Case|40-44]], Anime: [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|34-35]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko35.png|thumb|left|Deduction Queen Sonoko appears!]]
Conan and Ran visit Sonoko's mountain villa to see the autumn leaves and meet up with some old friends. On the way to the front they see a strange bandaged man in a dark cloak crossing the bridge. When they see him turn around, they are shocked at his face, as he quickly makes a retreat around the side of the house. Everything seems fine as Ran tries to find her room, accidentally walking in on the men also staying the house. When everyone is asked about the bandaged man he is brushed off as possibly a crazy man with nothing better to do. However, he is taken far more seriously when Ran is attacked in the woods, but the attacker is scared off by Conan, and later one of the women is seen being carried off by him from the windows. Conan and the other men chase him and find her dismembered body in the woods.

Everyone decides that it's best to go to bed for the night, when he strikes again, this time trying to kill Ran in her sleep. Conan saves Ran by waking her up to defend herself, but when the bandaged man retreats Conan wonders why Ran is a target. Everyone decides to stay up for the night and keep together to throw off the murderous man. Conan suspects that Ran saw something that made her a target, and the culprit is one of the people staying there. Despite having solved the case, Conan cannot present the solution, since his usual mouthpiece Kogoro isn't there to be put to sleep. So, he decides to solve the case through Ran. When he shoots the anaesthetic needle, however, Sonoko ends up in the way and she falls asleep. Left with no choice, Conan reveals the killer via Sonoko. While Sonoko doesn't remember making the deductions, she is very proud at having "solved" the case.

=== An Important Date (Manga: [[Volume 11#Coffee Shop Case|105-107]], Anime: [[Coffee Shop Murder Case|32]]) ===
At the end of the case, Conan asks Ran if she was meeting Shiro Wakaoji, a young man who was in the coffee shop with plans to take advantage of a "naive" teenage girl he met while skiing, despite his already having a girlfriend. She says no, but Shiro tries to flirt with her just before Sonoko announces her presence—Sonoko was his intended date, but she overheard Conan revealing Shiro's intentions. She slaps Shiro and storms away.

=== Makoto's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|219-221]], Anime: [[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|153-154]]) ===
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu, where Sonoko's schemes to get a boyfriend. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi (since she likes teasing Ran and Shinichi frequently about being an "old married couple"). Sonoko also laments about her lack of a love life, just before a college student, Michiwaki, asks her out to lunch. Ecstatic at the romantic attention, she agrees to lunch and then to dinner as well. However, due to nervousness, she has Ran and Conan come along for lunch. During the meal, Michiwaki tells a story that young brunette girls have been found murdered in the woods not far from the restaurant, once a year ago and once much more recently, but he offers to keep Sonoko safe.
[[File: EP153-154b_Case.jpg|thumb|right|The serial killer tries to kill Sonoko.]]
Later, Sonoko is attacked when she interrupts a suspicious figure searching her belongings, and bites him in self-defense before he escapes. The stoic and somewhat unfriendly high school student, [[Makoto Kyogoku]], who is working at the ''ryokan'' moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen him somewhere before but cannot remember where. Michiwaki arrives muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko, but he does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker because the attacker was hairy. Michiwaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the ''ryokan'' because Michiwaki says that his car has broken down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos, but perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs (about sending them to Shinichi) and misunderstood.

The next day, Michiwaki, Ran and Conan go to eat at a restaurant while Sonoko tries to have a light sleep in the car. Suddenly, the car starts rolling towards the nearby cliff edge, and Sonoko barely escapes with her life. However, there is no evidence pointing towards the culprit. Ran and Conan go to report the incident while Michiwaki keeps Sonoko company. When alone on a walk in the forest, Michiwaki reveals that he is the serial killer and Sonoko is his target. Before he can hurt her, Makoto appears and saves her with an impressive martial arts display. Ran realizes that Makoto is a martial arts champion she has seen in competitions before. Makoto confesses awkwardly that he loves Sonoko, to Sonoko's surprise and delight. Though Makoto is often travelling for tournaments, he and Sonoko maintain a long-distance relationship.

=== Jodie's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 27#Arcade Murder Case|271-273]], Anime: [[The Battle Game Trap|226-227]]) ===
[[File: Sonoko227.png|thumb|right|Sonoko thinks about Makoto.]]
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are at the arcade taking sticker photos, which Ran realizes Sonoko suggested because Sonoko wants to put a sticker with her face on a letter to Makoto. Sonoko blushes but doesn't deny it. Soon after, they encounter their High School English teacher, Jodie Saintemillion, who is an avid gamer. Jodie introduces Ran to a virtual reality fighting game which uses mechanics to simulate a real fight. Ran loses to a gamer named Kengo Bito who taunts her for losing before going on to fight against his rival, Takayasu Shimizu. The battle is projected on a large screen, showing Bito's avatar overwhelming Shimizu's until just before the final blow. At the strange behavior, spectators check on Bito and discover that he is dead.

The police investigate and after reviewing the security camera's footage, they limit the suspects down to four people. When Conan deduces the culprit, he uses Sonoko again as he mouthpiece to expose the murderer. On the way home, Jodie says that Sonoko was like Kate Martin, and Ran says Sonoko was just like Shinichi. Ran and Sonoko part with Jodie on good terms.

=== Girl Clubbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Girl Clubbing Case|284-286]], Anime: [[Megure's Sealed Secret|217-218]]) ===
Ran and Sonoko shop for a sweater that Sonoko wants to buy for Makoto; Ran scold Sonoko when she realizes Sonoko wants to pass the sweater off as hand-knitted by her. Ran sends Sonoko ahead to join Kogoro and Conan at a pasta shop, where they had coincidentally encountered the police investigating serial attacks on Japanese women following the "ganguro" fashion with darkly tanned skin, bleached hair, turtlenecks, miniskirts and high platform boots. Ran gets turned around and ends up in the parking lot, where she discovers a fourth victim, dead.
[[File: Sonoko218.png|thumb|right|Sonoko... saved!?]]
During the investigation, Sonoko and Ran point out that the victims are wearing a jacket that wasn't theirs, and Conan realizes the victims were attacked just after leaving somewhere warm—their cars. Sonoko leaves to put her shopping in the car and then use the toilet, attracting the attention of someone in the crowd. It turns out the culprit blames the victim wearing platform shoes while driving on the death of his son, and he is attacking any woman who drives with platform shoes. Sonoko is wearing platform shoes, and when she leaves the department store toilet the culprit is waiting to attack her. Sonoko screams and runs away, but manages to knock off the hat and scarf hiding his face, leaving him determined to kill her so she can't identify him. As Sonoko runs, her ankle twists under her and she falls. When the murderer attacks her, however, Inspector Megure arrives in the nick of time to protect her and confront the culprit. Megure was injured while protecting Sonoko, and at the hospital, Superintendent Matsumoto tells Ran and Sonoko the story of a girl Megure knew who impersonated a serial killer's victims and was gravely injured. Sonoko and Ran are moved to tears, thinking that the girl died, but it turns out that she survived and is now Megure's wife.

=== Murderous Pottery Class (Manga: [[Volume 30#Pottery Class Case|305-307]], Anime: [[The Murderous Pottery Class|228-229]]) ===
[[File: Sonoko228.png|thumb|left|Sonoko looking at Ran's vessel.]]
Sonoko shows off to Ran what she made in pottery class, a small cup for her with Makoto's name on it and a large cup for Makoto with her name on it. Her purpose is to have Makato think of her every time he drinks from it, so that he can't forget her and fall in love with another woman. She invites Ran to join the pottery class as well, and Ran thinks of Shinichi and accepts. As Ran works on her project, Sonoko tries to have Ran confess what she's written on the cup, but Ran refuses. Meanwhile, Conan sneaks in to spy on them, but gets caught. Sonoko keeps teasing Ran as they continue working, until a strange crash leads Ran to investigate—but not before warning off Sonoko from checking on Ran's project. A murder has occurred, and Conan investigates to discover the culprit. On finding the truth, he uses "Deduction Queen Sonoko" to reveal the killer.

A few days later, Sonoko shows Ran a picture that Makoto sent her—to Sonoko's embarrassment, Makoto mistook her cup for a vase, and sent her a picture showing off the flowers he'd put in it.

During the cruise, the party members are divided into groups; team "Devil" consists of Kogoro, Sonoko, and people disguised as a werewolf, a mummy, a medusa and an invisible man. During the party, the host is murdered by a crossbow arrow with a card identifying team devil attached. Sonoko investigates with Kogoro and both suspect the mummy, who has no card, but later it is revealed to have been a trick.

If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=e576>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship. Ran once chose to not go on a ski vacation with Sonoko because she didn't have the money to pay for her own trip, when she knew that Sonoko would pay for her to go if asked.<ref name=e329-330>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Despite teasing Ran about her feelings for Shinichi, it also seems that Sonoko, at some point, wants Ran to respond to Shinichi's confession and at least try helping her on that matter.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|the man of her own]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got the attentions from boys.<ref>[[Volume 22#File 219 - Go On.2C Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> However, this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi are childhood frineds. They know each other since childhood. Sonoko finds Shinichi's mystery affection annoying and considers him as arrogant and showoff but acknowledge his knowledge and intelligence deeply. On the other hand Shinichi finds Sonoko annoying as she constantly teases Ran and him about their relationship, calling them Husband and Wife, or Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Shinichi also finds Sonoko's attempts of attracting boys rather irritating. Sonoko is the only few people who calls Shinichi by his first name with the honorific '-kun'. Shinichi, in turns, also calls Sonoko by her first name, but without including any honorific.
In Conan Edogawa form, whenever Shinichi/ [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is near Sonoko, she gets annoyed. She thinks of him as a brat who knows a lot of weird stuff. Conan finds her annoying in turn, especially when she teases Ran about her relationship with Shinichi.

==== Makoto Kyogoku ====
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while on a vacation, when he worked at his father's hotel in his spare time.<ref name=e153-154>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.<ref name=e153-154/> This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.<ref name=e153-154 /> According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and fiery she was in trying to cheer her friend on.<ref name=e153-154/> After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.<ref name=e153-154/>
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=e266-268>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=e457-458/> Sonoko loves to plot romantic rendezvous with Makoto,<ref name=e457-458/>; he tries to go along, though things don't always go the way Sonoko imagines they will.<ref name=e266-268/><ref name=e457-458/> He often warns her against dressing to revealingly, afraid she'll attract predatory men as a result.<ref name=e153-154/><ref name=e266-268/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=e217-218>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=e228-229>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her purse, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=e304>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him Valentine's chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=e266-268/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=e266-268/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, Sonoko has stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
While having a conversation with Ran and Kazuha, Sonoko once jokingly stated that she was interested in Heiji.<ref>[[Volume 26]], File 255, Page 7</ref>

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Sonoko and Kazuha have met each other only a few times in the anime. Despite this, they have a friendly relationship. In movie 10, Sonoko seemed to be pleased after seeing Kazuha at the Wonder Land, she even offered her to come with her and Ran.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Sonoko and Ran are good friends with [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]], and they are often seen returning home together after school. Sonoko has a habit of teasing Masumi about her "flat chest". However, she does acknowledge Masumi's popularity in school due to her deductive abilities and her prowess in martial arts.

=== Others ===
==== Kaito Kid ====
[[File:701 4.png|thumb|Sonoko is really impressed with Kaitou Kid.]]
Sonoko thinks that [[Kaitou Kid]] is a really cool guy because of his quick and versatile actions when he is doing his thievery.

== Trivia ==
* According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Sonoko was supposed to appear only once in the anime, but since the staff liked Sonoko's voice actor's portrayal so much, they made her appear more.
* According to Suwa, [[Momiji Ooka]] was made to be the "Sonoko of the West".
* Sonoko has been shown to be very aggressive. For example when Genta called her "Auntie Sonoko", she punched him extremely hard, and when she was interrupted by a soccer ball, she threw it back at the kicker, causing him to fall back.
* The first Latin American Spanish dub (until Episode 123) was very inconsistent regarding Sonoko's name. She was usually called Sarita, but she has also been called Susana, Anabela, Sonia and others. The new dub retains the original names, so the inconsistency is now gone.
* "Sonoko" (園子) is written with the characters for "garden" and "child".

'''{{nihongo|Sonoko Suzuki|鈴木園子|Suzuki Sonoko}}''', known in the Funimation English dub as '''Serena Sebastian''', is a character from the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Sonoko is [[Ran Mouri]]'s best friend and is the girlfriend of [[Makoto Kyogoku]], with whom she currently is in a long-distance relationship. [[Conan Edogawa]] sometimes has to knock her out with his stun gun watch to use her as his mouthpiece. Because of this, Sonoko has claimed to be a great high school detective in her own right, "Deduction Queen Sonoko".

== Background ==
Sonoko Suzuki is the second daughter of Shiro Suzuki, head of the extremely wealthy family and large company (second only to the [[Karasuma family]], the most powerful in Japan), and his wife Tomoko. She has an older sister, [[Ayako Suzuki|Ayako]], and an uncle, [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi]], who is often involved in trying to capture the [[Kaitou Kid]]. She and Ran have been close friends since before Junior High School.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-04-20h34m41s202.png|right|thumb|Sonoko is rather expressive.]]
Sonoko's primary character traits are her impulsiveness, her temper and sense for romanticism. She often acts without thinking ahead, thereby usually dragging [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (and by extension, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]) into her schemes<ref name=e457-458>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> or firing her mouth away with wild tales.<ref name=m94>[[Volume 94#Crimson School Trip Case|Manga Volume 94, File 1000: ''Crimson School Trip Case'']]</ref> Often she acts very insensitively to other's feelings; while she encourages Ran to take her relationship with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] to a higher level, she just as much enjoys teasing her best friend and beholding her embarrassment.<ref name=m22>[[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|Manga Volume 22, File 219: ''Sonoko's Camera Case'']]</ref><ref name=m25>[[Volume 25#Skating Rink Case|Manga Volume 25, File 243: ''Skating Rink Case'']]</ref><ref name=m72>[[Volume 72#Horror Show|Manga Volume 72, File 756: ''Horror Show Case'']]</ref><ref name=m94/>

At the series' start, Sonoko's primary interest was in boys and in trying to snag the "perfect boy". She often tried multiple avenues to attract a boyfriend, including dressing up specifically to attract a boy, making a boy chocolates,<ref name=e6>[[Valentine Murder Case|Episode 6: Valentine Murder Case]]</ref> trying to impress a boy while wearing a bikini,<ref name=e72>[[The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case|Episode 72: The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case]]</ref> or going to various events that young guys were going to attend.<ref name=e84-85>[[Ski Lodge Murder Case|Episode 84-85: Ski Lodge Murder Case]]</ref> Whenever Ran's company diverts the attention of Sonoko's target, Sonoko feels jealous and disappointed (although this has never affected their friendship).<ref name=e34-35>[[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Episode 34-35: Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]]</ref> However, this changed when Sonoko met and began dating [[Makoto Kyogoku|Makoto]]. Although Sonoko is still easily attracted to other men,<ref>[[Volume 61#Paper Airplane Case|Manga Chapter 638: Paper Airplane]]</ref> she is loyal to Makoto and tries to act the way she thinks a girlfriend should, including making him gifts<ref name=e228-229/> and planning romantic rendezvous.<ref name=e457-458/>

Sonoko loves to go on big vacations, like expensive ski trips,<ref name=e84-85/> and loves to buy fancy clothes and items.<ref name=e217-218/> She also loves to go to festivals where sugary sweets are on display, often picking up gigantic plates filled with various cakes.<ref name=e368>[[The Candy House the Witch Lives In|Episode 368: The Candy House the Witch Lives In]]</ref> She has even used [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] for the sole purpose of having a children's discount on food.<ref name=e547-548>[[Two Days with the Culprit|Episode 547-548: Two Days with the Culprit]]</ref> She is also a big fan of the band LEX,<ref name=e42>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> and various other people in pop music, including [[Two-Mix]].<ref name=e81-82>[[The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case|Episode 81-82: The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case]]</ref>

Conan has had to use Sonoko sometimes when he needs to do a deduction show. At first he struggled to mimic Sonoko's mannerisms and feminine speech patterns, but now he is better at it.<ref name=e79>[[The Bank Heist Murder Case|Episode 79: The Bank Heist Murder Case]]</ref> However, because he has had to use Sonoko so often for a deduction, she, like [[Kogoro Mouri]], has completely bought into her whole "sleeping" person, calling herself the best detective in [[Setting#Teitan High School|Teitan High School]], and a "Deduction Queen."<ref name=e79/> This makes Conan sometimes regret using her to solve a case, though he does admire her courage in certain situations. Sonoko is sometimes able to solve little things on her own, and can figure things out when she is provided some assistance by Conan, such as when Conan was sick and had to communicate to Sonoko, Kogoro, and [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]] in charades and sign language.<ref name=e331-332>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref>

Like many other people, Sonoko is a big fan of the [[Kaitou Kid]], due to his style, charm and daring exploits. She keeps cheering him on in trying to steal something, even when that 'something' is a rare treasure of the Suzuki family. She wishes to meet Kid up close (and have it develop into something more), and sometimes almost gets her wish, but is very disappointed at the ultimate failure.<ref name=e356>[[Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk|Episode 356: Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk]]</ref>

== Appearance ==
When not in the Teitan High School uniform, Sonoko often wears a bandanna holding back her fringe, a skirt, and a cute shirt. Her clothes often show more skin compared to Ran, mostly for the purpose of attracting guys. In [[Countdown to Heaven]], she temporarily changes her hairstyle to a perm.

== Plot overview ==
=== Deduction Queen Sonoko (Manga: [[Volume 5#Bandaged Man Case|40-44]], Anime: [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|34-35]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko35.png|thumb|left|Deduction Queen Sonoko appears!]]
Conan and Ran visit Sonoko's mountain villa to see the autumn leaves and meet up with some old friends. On the way to the front they see a strange bandaged man in a dark cloak crossing the bridge. When they see him turn around, they are shocked at his face, as he quickly makes a retreat around the side of the house. Everything seems fine as Ran tries to find her room, accidentally walking in on the men also staying the house. When everyone is asked about the bandaged man he is brushed off as possibly a crazy man with nothing better to do. However, he is taken far more seriously when Ran is attacked in the woods, but the attacker is scared off by Conan, and later one of the women is seen being carried off by him from the windows. Conan and the other men chase him and find her dismembered body in the woods.

Everyone decides that it's best to go to bed for the night, when he strikes again, this time trying to kill Ran in her sleep. Conan saves Ran by waking her up to defend herself, but when the bandaged man retreats Conan wonders why Ran is a target. Everyone decides to stay up for the night and keep together to throw off the murderous man. Conan suspects that Ran saw something that made her a target, and the culprit is one of the people staying there. Despite having solved the case, Conan cannot present the solution, since his usual mouthpiece Kogoro isn't there to be put to sleep. So, he decides to solve the case through Ran. When he shoots the anaesthetic needle, however, Sonoko ends up in the way and she falls asleep. Left with no choice, Conan reveals the killer via Sonoko. While Sonoko doesn't remember making the deductions, she is very proud at having "solved" the case.
{{clearleft}}

=== An Important Date (Manga: [[Volume 11#Coffee Shop Case|105-107]], Anime: [[Coffee Shop Murder Case|32]]) ===
At the end of the case, Conan asks Ran if she was meeting Shiro Wakaoji, a young man who was in the coffee shop with plans to take advantage of a "naive" teenage girl he met while skiing, despite his already having a girlfriend. She says no, but Shiro tries to flirt with her just before Sonoko announces her presence—Sonoko was his intended date, but she overheard Conan revealing Shiro's intentions. She slaps Shiro and storms away.

=== Makoto's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|219-221]], Anime: [[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|153-154]]) ===
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu, where Sonoko's schemes to get a boyfriend. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi (since she likes teasing Ran and Shinichi frequently about being an "old married couple"). Sonoko also laments about her lack of a love life, just before a college student, Michiwaki, asks her out to lunch. Ecstatic at the romantic attention, she agrees to lunch and then to dinner as well. However, due to nervousness, she has Ran and Conan come along for lunch. During the meal, Michiwaki tells a story that young brunette girls have been found murdered in the woods not far from the restaurant, once a year ago and once much more recently, but he offers to keep Sonoko safe.
[[File: EP153-154b_Case.jpg|thumb|right|The serial killer tries to kill Sonoko.]]
Later, Sonoko is attacked when she interrupts a suspicious figure searching her belongings, and bites him in self-defense before he escapes. The stoic and somewhat unfriendly high school student, [[Makoto Kyogoku]], who is working at the ''ryokan'' moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen him somewhere before but cannot remember where. Michiwaki arrives muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko, but he does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker because the attacker was hairy. Michiwaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the ''ryokan'' because Michiwaki says that his car has broken down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos, but perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs (about sending them to Shinichi) and misunderstood.

The next day, Michiwaki, Ran and Conan go to eat at a restaurant while Sonoko tries to have a light sleep in the car. Suddenly, the car starts rolling towards the nearby cliff edge, and Sonoko barely escapes with her life. However, there is no evidence pointing towards the culprit. Ran and Conan go to report the incident while Michiwaki keeps Sonoko company. When alone on a walk in the forest, Michiwaki reveals that he is the serial killer and Sonoko is his target. Before he can hurt her, Makoto appears and saves her with an impressive martial arts display. Ran realizes that Makoto is a martial arts champion she has seen in competitions before. Makoto confesses awkwardly that he loves Sonoko, to Sonoko's surprise and delight. Though Makoto is often travelling for tournaments, he and Sonoko maintain a long-distance relationship.

=== Jodie's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 27#Arcade Murder Case|271-273]], Anime: [[The Battle Game Trap|226-227]]) ===
[[File: Sonoko227.png|thumb|right|Sonoko thinks about Makoto.]]
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are at the arcade taking sticker photos, which Ran realizes Sonoko suggested because Sonoko wants to put a sticker with her face on a letter to Makoto. Sonoko blushes but doesn't deny it. Soon after, they encounter their High School English teacher, Jodie Saintemillion, who is an avid gamer. Jodie introduces Ran to a virtual reality fighting game which uses mechanics to simulate a real fight. Ran loses to a gamer named Kengo Bito who taunts her for losing before going on to fight against his rival, Takayasu Shimizu. The battle is projected on a large screen, showing Bito's avatar overwhelming Shimizu's until just before the final blow. At the strange behavior, spectators check on Bito and discover that he is dead.

The police investigate and after reviewing the security camera's footage, they limit the suspects down to four people. When Conan deduces the culprit, he uses Sonoko again as he mouthpiece to expose the murderer. On the way home, Jodie says that Sonoko was like Kate Martin, and Ran says Sonoko was just like Shinichi. Ran and Sonoko part with Jodie on good terms.

=== Girl Clubbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Girl Clubbing Case|284-286]], Anime: [[Megure's Sealed Secret|217-218]]) ===
Ran and Sonoko shop for a sweater that Sonoko wants to buy for Makoto; Ran scold Sonoko when she realizes Sonoko wants to pass the sweater off as hand-knitted by her. Ran sends Sonoko ahead to join Kogoro and Conan at a pasta shop, where they had coincidentally encountered the police investigating serial attacks on Japanese women following the "ganguro" fashion with darkly tanned skin, bleached hair, turtlenecks, miniskirts and high platform boots. Ran gets turned around and ends up in the parking lot, where she discovers a fourth victim, dead.
[[File: Sonoko218.png|thumb|right|Sonoko... saved!?]]
During the investigation, Sonoko and Ran point out that the victims are wearing a jacket that wasn't theirs, and Conan realizes the victims were attacked just after leaving somewhere warm—their cars. Sonoko leaves to put her shopping in the car and then use the toilet, attracting the attention of someone in the crowd. It turns out the culprit blames the victim wearing platform shoes while driving on the death of his son, and he is attacking any woman who drives with platform shoes. Sonoko is wearing platform shoes, and when she leaves the department store toilet the culprit is waiting to attack her. Sonoko screams and runs away, but manages to knock off the hat and scarf hiding his face, leaving him determined to kill her so she can't identify him. As Sonoko runs, her ankle twists under her and she falls. When the murderer attacks her, however, Inspector Megure arrives in the nick of time to protect her and confront the culprit. Megure was injured while protecting Sonoko, and at the hospital, Superintendent Matsumoto tells Ran and Sonoko the story of a girl Megure knew who impersonated a serial killer's victims and was gravely injured. Sonoko and Ran are moved to tears, thinking that the girl died, but it turns out that she survived and is now Megure's wife.

[[File: Sonoko228.png|thumb|left|Sonoko looking at Ran's vessel.]]
Sonoko shows off to Ran what she made in pottery class, a small cup for her with Makoto's name on it and a large cup for Makoto with her name on it. Her purpose is to have Makato think of her every time he drinks from it, so that he can't forget her and fall in love with another woman. She invites Ran to join the pottery class as well, and Ran thinks of Shinichi and accepts. As Ran works on her project, Sonoko tries to have Ran confess what she's written on the cup, but Ran refuses. Meanwhile, Conan sneaks in to spy on them, but gets caught. Sonoko keeps teasing Ran as they continue working, until a strange crash leads Ran to investigate—but not before warning off Sonoko from checking on Ran's project. A murder has occurred, and Conan investigates to discover the culprit. On finding the truth, he uses "Deduction Queen Sonoko" to reveal the killer.

A few days later, Sonoko shows Ran a picture that Makoto sent her—to Sonoko's embarrassment, Makoto mistook her cup for a vase, and sent her a picture showing off the flowers he'd put in it.

Sonoko investigates with Kogoro and both suspect the mummy, who has no card, but later it is revealed to have been a trick.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends===
{{main|Suzuki family}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|right|thumb|Sonoko hugging Ran.]]
Sonoko and [[Ran]] have been best friends ever since they were little.<ref name=MF3>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko is often there to help Ran whenever she is bullied by other school children, more often there than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was.<ref name=MF3 /> They were often shown hanging out with each others on the way home after school. Sonoko usually invites Ran to join her on trips, family events (such as [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi's]] [[Kaitou Kid|Kid]] heists), other trips or activities<ref>The Bell Tree Express.</ref>, or simply just go shopping together. Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=e576>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship. Ran once chose to not go on a ski vacation with Sonoko because she didn't have the money to pay for her own trip, when she knew that Sonoko would pay for her to go if asked.<ref name=e329-330>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Despite teasing Ran about her feelings for Shinichi, it also seems that Sonoko, at some point, wants Ran to respond to Shinichi's confession and at least try helping her on that matter.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|the man of her own]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got the attentions from boys.<ref>[[Volume 22#File 219 - Go On.2C Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> However, this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi are childhood frineds. They know each other since childhood. Sonoko finds Shinichi's mystery affection annoying and considers him as arrogant and showoff but acknowledge his knowledge and intelligence deeply. On the other hand Shinichi finds Sonoko annoying as she constantly teases Ran and him about their relationship, calling them Husband and Wife, or Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Shinichi also finds Sonoko's attempts of attracting boys rather irritating. Sonoko is the only few people who calls Shinichi by his first name with the honorific '-kun'. Shinichi, in turns, also calls Sonoko by her first name, but without including any honorific.
In Conan Edogawa form, whenever Shinichi/ [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is near Sonoko, she gets annoyed. She thinks of him as a brat who knows a lot of weird stuff. Conan finds her annoying in turn, especially when she teases Ran about her relationship with Shinichi.

==== Makoto Kyogoku ====
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while on a vacation, when he worked at his father's hotel in his spare time.<ref name=e153-154>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.<ref name=e153-154/> This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.<ref name=e153-154 /> According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and fiery she was in trying to cheer her friend on.<ref name=e153-154/> After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.<ref name=e153-154/>
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=e266-268>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=e457-458/> Sonoko loves to plot romantic rendezvous with Makoto,<ref name=e457-458/>; he tries to go along, though things don't always go the way Sonoko imagines they will.<ref name=e266-268/><ref name=e457-458/> He often warns her against dressing to revealingly, afraid she'll attract predatory men as a result.<ref name=e153-154/><ref name=e266-268/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=e217-218>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=e228-229>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her purse, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=e304>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him Valentine's chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=e266-268/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=e266-268/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, Sonoko has stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
While having a conversation with Ran and Kazuha, Sonoko once jokingly stated that she was interested in Heiji.<ref>[[Volume 26]], File 255, Page 7</ref>

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Sonoko and Kazuha have met each other only a few times in the anime. Despite this, they have a friendly relationship. In movie 10, Sonoko seemed to be pleased after seeing Kazuha at the Wonder Land, she even offered her to come with her and Ran.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Sonoko and Ran are good friends with [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]], and they are often seen returning home together after school. Sonoko has a habit of teasing Masumi about her "flat chest". However, she does acknowledge Masumi's popularity in school due to her deductive abilities and her prowess in martial arts.

=== Others ===
==== Kaito Kid ====
[[File:701 4.png|thumb|Sonoko is really impressed with Kaitou Kid.]]
Sonoko thinks that [[Kaitou Kid]] is a really cool guy because of his quick and versatile actions when he is doing his thievery.

== Trivia ==
* According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Sonoko was supposed to appear only once in the anime, but since the staff liked Sonoko's voice actor's portrayal so much, they made her appear more.
* According to Suwa, [[Momiji Ooka]] was made to be the "Sonoko of the West".
* Sonoko has been shown to be very aggressive. For example when Genta called her "Auntie Sonoko", she punched him extremely hard, and when she was interrupted by a soccer ball, she threw it back at the kicker, causing him to fall back.
* The first Latin American Spanish dub (until Episode 123) was very inconsistent regarding Sonoko's name. She was usually called Sarita, but she has also been called Susana, Anabela, Sonia and others. The new dub retains the original names, so the inconsistency is now gone.
* "Sonoko" (園子) is written with the characters for "garden" and "child".

'''{{nihongo|Sonoko Suzuki|鈴木園子|Suzuki Sonoko}}''', known in the Funimation English dub as '''Serena Sebastian''', is a character from the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Sonoko is [[Ran Mouri]]'s best friend and is the girlfriend of [[Makoto Kyogoku]], with whom she currently is in a long-distance relationship. [[Conan Edogawa]] sometimes has to knock her out with his stun gun watch to use her as his mouthpiece. Because of this, Sonoko has claimed to be a great high school detective in her own right, "Deduction Queen Sonoko".

== Background ==
Sonoko Suzuki is the second daughter of Shiro Suzuki, head of the extremely wealthy family and large company (second only to the [[Karasuma family]], the most powerful in Japan), and his wife Tomoko. She has an older sister, [[Ayako Suzuki|Ayako]], and an uncle, [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi]], who is often involved in trying to capture the [[Kaitou Kid]]. She and Ran have been close friends since before Junior High School.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-04-20h34m41s202.png|right|thumb|Sonoko is rather expressive.]]
Sonoko's primary character traits are her impulsiveness, her temper and sense for romanticism. She often acts without thinking ahead, thereby usually dragging [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (and by extension, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]) into her schemes<ref name=e457-458>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> or firing her mouth away with wild tales.<ref name=m94>[[Volume 94#Crimson School Trip Case|Manga Volume 94, File 1000: ''Crimson School Trip Case'']]</ref> Often she acts very insensitively to other's feelings; while she encourages Ran to take her relationship with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] to a higher level, she just as much enjoys teasing her best friend and beholding her embarrassment.<ref name=m22>[[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|Manga Volume 22, File 219: ''Sonoko's Camera Case'']]</ref><ref name=m25>[[Volume 25#Skating Rink Case|Manga Volume 25, File 243: ''Skating Rink Case'']]</ref><ref name=m72>[[Volume 72#Horror Show|Manga Volume 72, File 756: ''Horror Show Case'']]</ref><ref name=m94/>

At the series' start, Sonoko's primary interest was in boys and in trying to snag the "perfect boy". She often tried multiple avenues to attract a boyfriend, including dressing up specifically to attract a boy, making a boy chocolates,<ref name=e6>[[Valentine Murder Case|Episode 6: Valentine Murder Case]]</ref> trying to impress a boy while wearing a bikini,<ref name=e72>[[The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case|Episode 72: The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case]]</ref> or going to various events that young guys were going to attend.<ref name=e84-85>[[Ski Lodge Murder Case|Episode 84-85: Ski Lodge Murder Case]]</ref> Whenever Ran's company diverts the attention of Sonoko's target, Sonoko feels jealous and disappointed (although this has never affected their friendship).<ref name=e34-35>[[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Episode 34-35: Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]]</ref> However, this changed when Sonoko met and began dating [[Makoto Kyogoku|Makoto]]. Although Sonoko is still easily attracted to other men,<ref>[[Volume 61#Paper Airplane Case|Manga Chapter 638: Paper Airplane]]</ref> she is loyal to Makoto and tries to act the way she thinks a girlfriend should, including making him gifts<ref name=e228-229/> and planning romantic rendezvous.<ref name=e457-458/>

Sonoko loves to go on big vacations, like expensive ski trips,<ref name=e84-85/> and loves to buy fancy clothes and items.<ref name=e217-218/> She also loves to go to festivals where sugary sweets are on display, often picking up gigantic plates filled with various cakes.<ref name=e368>[[The Candy House the Witch Lives In|Episode 368: The Candy House the Witch Lives In]]</ref> She has even used [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] for the sole purpose of having a children's discount on food.<ref name=e547-548>[[Two Days with the Culprit|Episode 547-548: Two Days with the Culprit]]</ref> She is also a big fan of the band LEX,<ref name=e42>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> and various other people in pop music, including [[Two-Mix]].<ref name=e81-82>[[The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case|Episode 81-82: The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case]]</ref>

Conan has had to use Sonoko sometimes when he needs to do a deduction show. At first he struggled to mimic Sonoko's mannerisms and feminine speech patterns, but now he is better at it.<ref name=e79>[[The Bank Heist Murder Case|Episode 79: The Bank Heist Murder Case]]</ref> However, because he has had to use Sonoko so often for a deduction, she, like [[Kogoro Mouri]], has completely bought into her whole "sleeping" person, calling herself the best detective in [[Setting#Teitan High School|Teitan High School]], and a "Deduction Queen."<ref name=e79/> This makes Conan sometimes regret using her to solve a case, though he does admire her courage in certain situations. Sonoko is sometimes able to solve little things on her own, and can figure things out when she is provided some assistance by Conan, such as when Conan was sick and had to communicate to Sonoko, Kogoro, and [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]] in charades and sign language.<ref name=e331-332>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref>

Like many other people, Sonoko is a big fan of the [[Kaitou Kid]], due to his style, charm and daring exploits. She keeps cheering him on in trying to steal something, even when that 'something' is a rare treasure of the Suzuki family. She wishes to meet Kid up close (and have it develop into something more), and sometimes almost gets her wish, but is very disappointed at the ultimate failure.<ref name=e356>[[Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk|Episode 356: Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk]]</ref>

== Appearance ==
When not in the Teitan High School uniform, Sonoko often wears a bandanna holding back her fringe, a skirt, and a cute shirt. Her clothes often show more skin compared to Ran, mostly for the purpose of attracting guys. In [[Countdown to Heaven]], she temporarily changes her hairstyle to a perm.

== Plot overview ==
=== Deduction Queen Sonoko (Manga: [[Volume 5#Bandaged Man Case|40-44]], Anime: [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|34-35]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko35.png|thumb|left|Deduction Queen Sonoko appears!]]
Conan and Ran visit Sonoko's mountain villa to see the autumn leaves and meet up with some old friends. On the way to the front they see a strange bandaged man in a dark cloak crossing the bridge. When they see him turn around, they are shocked at his face, as he quickly makes a retreat around the side of the house. Everything seems fine as Ran tries to find her room, accidentally walking in on the men also staying the house. When everyone is asked about the bandaged man he is brushed off as possibly a crazy man with nothing better to do. However, he is taken far more seriously when Ran is attacked in the woods, but the attacker is scared off by Conan, and later one of the women is seen being carried off by him from the windows. Conan and the other men chase him and find her dismembered body in the woods.

Everyone decides that it's best to go to bed for the night, when he strikes again, this time trying to kill Ran in her sleep. Conan saves Ran by waking her up to defend herself, but when the bandaged man retreats Conan wonders why Ran is a target. Everyone decides to stay up for the night and keep together to throw off the murderous man. Conan suspects that Ran saw something that made her a target, and the culprit is one of the people staying there. Despite having solved the case, Conan cannot present the solution, since his usual mouthpiece Kogoro isn't there to be put to sleep. So, he decides to solve the case through Ran. When he shoots the anaesthetic needle, however, Sonoko ends up in the way and she falls asleep. Left with no choice, Conan reveals the killer via Sonoko. While Sonoko doesn't remember making the deductions, she is very proud at having "solved" the case.

=== An Important Date (Manga: [[Volume 11#Coffee Shop Case|105-107]], Anime: [[Coffee Shop Murder Case|32]]) ===
At the end of the case, Conan asks Ran if she was meeting Shiro Wakaoji, a young man who was in the coffee shop with plans to take advantage of a "naive" teenage girl he met while skiing, despite his already having a girlfriend. She says no, but Shiro tries to flirt with her just before Sonoko announces her presence—Sonoko was his intended date, but she overheard Conan revealing Shiro's intentions. She slaps Shiro and storms away.

=== Makoto's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|219-221]], Anime: [[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|153-154]]) ===
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu, where Sonoko's schemes to get a boyfriend. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi (since she likes teasing Ran and Shinichi frequently about being an "old married couple"). Sonoko also laments about her lack of a love life, just before a college student, Michiwaki, asks her out to lunch. Ecstatic at the romantic attention, she agrees to lunch and then to dinner as well. However, due to nervousness, she has Ran and Conan come along for lunch. During the meal, Michiwaki tells a story that young brunette girls have been found murdered in the woods not far from the restaurant, once a year ago and once much more recently, but he offers to keep Sonoko safe.
[[File: EP153-154b_Case.jpg|thumb|right|The serial killer tries to kill Sonoko.]]
Later, Sonoko is attacked when she interrupts a suspicious figure searching her belongings, and bites him in self-defense before he escapes. The stoic and somewhat unfriendly high school student, [[Makoto Kyogoku]], who is working at the ''ryokan'' moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen him somewhere before but cannot remember where. Michiwaki arrives muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko, but he does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker because the attacker was hairy. Michiwaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the ''ryokan'' because Michiwaki says that his car has broken down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos, but perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs (about sending them to Shinichi) and misunderstood.

The next day, Michiwaki, Ran and Conan go to eat at a restaurant while Sonoko tries to have a light sleep in the car. Suddenly, the car starts rolling towards the nearby cliff edge, and Sonoko barely escapes with her life. However, there is no evidence pointing towards the culprit. Ran and Conan go to report the incident while Michiwaki keeps Sonoko company. When alone on a walk in the forest, Michiwaki reveals that he is the serial killer and Sonoko is his target. Before he can hurt her, Makoto appears and saves her with an impressive martial arts display. Ran realizes that Makoto is a martial arts champion she has seen in competitions before. Makoto confesses awkwardly that he loves Sonoko, to Sonoko's surprise and delight. Though Makoto is often travelling for tournaments, he and Sonoko maintain a long-distance relationship.

=== Jodie's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 27#Arcade Murder Case|271-273]], Anime: [[The Battle Game Trap|226-227]]) ===
[[File: Sonoko227.png|thumb|right|Sonoko thinks about Makoto.]]
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are at the arcade taking sticker photos, which Ran realizes Sonoko suggested because Sonoko wants to put a sticker with her face on a letter to Makoto. Sonoko blushes but doesn't deny it. Soon after, they encounter their High School English teacher, Jodie Saintemillion, who is an avid gamer. Jodie introduces Ran to a virtual reality fighting game which uses mechanics to simulate a real fight. Ran loses to a gamer named Kengo Bito who taunts her for losing before going on to fight against his rival, Takayasu Shimizu. The battle is projected on a large screen, showing Bito's avatar overwhelming Shimizu's until just before the final blow. At the strange behavior, spectators check on Bito and discover that he is dead.

The police investigate and after reviewing the security camera's footage, they limit the suspects down to four people. When Conan deduces the culprit, he uses Sonoko again as he mouthpiece to expose the murderer. On the way home, Jodie says that Sonoko was like Kate Martin, and Ran says Sonoko was just like Shinichi. Ran and Sonoko part with Jodie on good terms.

=== Girl Clubbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Girl Clubbing Case|284-286]], Anime: [[Megure's Sealed Secret|217-218]]) ===
Ran and Sonoko shop for a sweater that Sonoko wants to buy for Makoto; Ran scold Sonoko when she realizes Sonoko wants to pass the sweater off as hand-knitted by her. Ran sends Sonoko ahead to join Kogoro and Conan at a pasta shop, where they had coincidentally encountered the police investigating serial attacks on Japanese women following the "ganguro" fashion with darkly tanned skin, bleached hair, turtlenecks, miniskirts and high platform boots. Ran gets turned around and ends up in the parking lot, where she discovers a fourth victim, dead.
[[File: Sonoko218.png|thumb|right|Sonoko... saved!?]]
During the investigation, Sonoko and Ran point out that the victims are wearing a jacket that wasn't theirs, and Conan realizes the victims were attacked just after leaving somewhere warm—their cars. Sonoko leaves to put her shopping in the car and then use the toilet, attracting the attention of someone in the crowd. It turns out the culprit blames the victim wearing platform shoes while driving on the death of his son, and he is attacking any woman who drives with platform shoes. Sonoko is wearing platform shoes, and when she leaves the department store toilet the culprit is waiting to attack her. Sonoko screams and runs away, but manages to knock off the hat and scarf hiding his face, leaving him determined to kill her so she can't identify him. As Sonoko runs, her ankle twists under her and she falls. When the murderer attacks her, however, Inspector Megure arrives in the nick of time to protect her and confront the culprit. Megure was injured while protecting Sonoko, and at the hospital, Superintendent Matsumoto tells Ran and Sonoko the story of a girl Megure knew who impersonated a serial killer's victims and was gravely injured. Sonoko and Ran are moved to tears, thinking that the girl died, but it turns out that she survived and is now Megure's wife.

=== Murderous Pottery Class (Manga: [[Volume 30#Pottery Class Case|305-307]], Anime: [[The Murderous Pottery Class|228-229]]) ===
[[File: Sonoko228.png|thumb|left|Sonoko looking at Ran's vessel.]]
Sonoko shows off to Ran what she made in pottery class, a small cup for her with Makoto's name on it and a large cup for Makoto with her name on it. Her purpose is to have Makato think of her every time he drinks from it, so that he can't forget her and fall in love with another woman. She invites Ran to join the pottery class as well, and Ran thinks of Shinichi and accepts. As Ran works on her project, Sonoko tries to have Ran confess what she's written on the cup, but Ran refuses. Meanwhile, Conan sneaks in to spy on them, but gets caught. Sonoko keeps teasing Ran as they continue working, until a strange crash leads Ran to investigate—but not before warning off Sonoko from checking on Ran's project. A murder has occurred, and Conan investigates to discover the culprit. On finding the truth, he uses "Deduction Queen Sonoko" to reveal the killer.

A few days later, Sonoko shows Ran a picture that Makoto sent her—to Sonoko's embarrassment, Makoto mistook her cup for a vase, and sent her a picture showing off the flowers he'd put in it.

During the cruise, the party members are divided into groups; team "Devil" consists of Kogoro, Sonoko, and people disguised as a werewolf, a mummy, a medusa and an invisible man. During the party, the host is murdered by a crossbow arrow with a card identifying team devil attached. Sonoko investigates with Kogoro and both suspect the mummy, who has no card, but later it is revealed to have been a trick.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends===
{{main|Suzuki family}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko hugging Ran.]]
Sonoko and [[Ran]] have been best friends ever since they were little.<ref name=MF3>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko is often there to help Ran whenever she is bullied by other school children, more often there than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was.<ref name=MF3 /> They were often shown hanging out with each others on the way home after school. Sonoko usually invites Ran to join her on trips, family events (such as [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi's]] [[Kaitou Kid|Kid]] heists), other trips or activities<ref>The Bell Tree Express.</ref>, or simply just go shopping together. Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=e576>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship. Ran once chose to not go on a ski vacation with Sonoko because she didn't have the money to pay for her own trip, when she knew that Sonoko would pay for her to go if asked.<ref name=e329-330>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Despite teasing Ran about her feelings for Shinichi, it also seems that Sonoko, at some point, wants Ran to respond to Shinichi's confession and at least try helping her on that matter.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|the man of her own]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got the attentions from boys.<ref>[[Volume 22#File 219 - Go On.2C Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> However, this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi are childhood frineds. They know each other since childhood. Sonoko finds Shinichi's mystery affection annoying and considers him as arrogant and showoff but acknowledge his knowledge and intelligence deeply. On the other hand Shinichi finds Sonoko annoying as she constantly teases Ran and him about their relationship, calling them Husband and Wife, or Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Shinichi also finds Sonoko's attempts of attracting boys rather irritating. Sonoko is the only few people who calls Shinichi by his first name with the honorific '-kun'. Shinichi, in turns, also calls Sonoko by her first name, but without including any honorific.
In Conan Edogawa form, whenever Shinichi/ [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is near Sonoko, she gets annoyed. She thinks of him as a brat who knows a lot of weird stuff. Conan finds her annoying in turn, especially when she teases Ran about her relationship with Shinichi.

==== Makoto Kyogoku ====
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while on a vacation, when he worked at his father's hotel in his spare time.<ref name=e153-154>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.<ref name=e153-154/> This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.<ref name=e153-154 /> According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and fiery she was in trying to cheer her friend on.<ref name=e153-154/> After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.<ref name=e153-154/>
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|200px|left|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=e266-268>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=e457-458/> Sonoko loves to plot romantic rendezvous with Makoto,<ref name=e457-458/>; he tries to go along, though things don't always go the way Sonoko imagines they will.<ref name=e266-268/><ref name=e457-458/> He often warns her against dressing to revealingly, afraid she'll attract predatory men as a result.<ref name=e153-154/><ref name=e266-268/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=e217-218>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=e228-229>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her purse, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=e304>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him Valentine's chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=e266-268/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=e266-268/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, Sonoko has stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
While having a conversation with Ran and Kazuha, Sonoko once jokingly stated that she was interested in Heiji.<ref>[[Volume 26]], File 255, Page 7</ref>

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Sonoko and Kazuha have met each other only a few times in the anime. Despite this, they have a friendly relationship. In movie 10, Sonoko seemed to be pleased after seeing Kazuha at the Wonder Land, she even offered her to come with her and Ran.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Sonoko and Ran are good friends with [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]], and they are often seen returning home together after school. Sonoko has a habit of teasing Masumi about her "flat chest". However, she does acknowledge Masumi's popularity in school due to her deductive abilities and her prowess in martial arts.

=== Others ===
==== Kaito Kid ====
[[File:701 4.png|thumb|Sonoko is really impressed with Kaitou Kid.]]
Sonoko thinks that [[Kaitou Kid]] is a really cool guy because of his quick and versatile actions when he is doing his thievery.

== Trivia ==
* According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Sonoko was supposed to appear only once in the anime, but since the staff liked Sonoko's voice actor's portrayal so much, they made her appear more.
* According to Suwa, [[Momiji Ooka]] was made to be the "Sonoko of the West".
* Sonoko has been shown to be very aggressive. For example when Genta called her "Auntie Sonoko", she punched him extremely hard, and when she was interrupted by a soccer ball, she threw it back at the kicker, causing him to fall back.
* The first Latin American Spanish dub (until Episode 123) was very inconsistent regarding Sonoko's name. She was usually called Sarita, but she has also been called Susana, Anabela, Sonia and others. The new dub retains the original names, so the inconsistency is now gone.
* "Sonoko" (園子) is written with the characters for "garden" and "child".

'''{{nihongo|Eri Kisaki|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}''', known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to to use her maiden name again after she began living separate from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|Eri and her childhood friend, Yukiko Kudo.]]
The legally separated wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had actually left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

In high school, Eri and her schoolmate and close friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]], were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" pageant, and were tied in the number of votes, due to the lateness of Kogoro.<ref name=Alike>[[Alike Princesses|Episode 333-334: Alike Princesses]]</ref> He had forgotten to vote, and by the time he had come to vote, it was too late.<ref name=Alike /> It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, he thought that the "Miss" meant "mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to her anger later on.<ref name=Alike />
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|Eri's pet cat, Goro, whom she named after Kogoro.]]

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Eri's father ====
[[File:Eris father.jpg|thumb|right|Kogoro and Eri speaking to Eri's father.]]
Eri's father has only been mention once, but it's notes that he cares a lot for his daughter and is very overprotective.
{{clear}}

==== [[Kogoro Mouri]] ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|Kogoro and Eri.]]
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him, and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref>

[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]

In ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]'', Eri and Kogoro are shown having a great time eating dinner, but it ends when Kogoro looks out the window and sees the very attractive owner of the bar that he visits.<ref name=target /> This makes Eri turn angry and act how she normally acts to Kogoro. In the two-part episode, ''[[Scuba Diving Murder Case]]'', Eri accidentally loses her wedding ring on the beach, but pretends to have left it at home to see if Kogoro noticed.<ref name=scuba /> She gets visibly angry when Kogoro doesn't appear to notice it, especially when he leaves their lunch early to go back to the beach.<ref name=scuba /> Later, it is discovered that Kogoro had always known that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, and had gone back to the beach to look for it.<ref name=scuba /> This left a visibly shocked Eri to drive home speechless, but pleased.<ref name=scuba />

In another episode, Eri actually captures a confession from Kogoro saying that he misses her and wishes she would come back to him on a minidisc, replaying it over and over again afterwards.<ref name=Suspect /> However, even though they both miss each other, both of them still pretend not to care, and even become incredibly nasty to each other.<ref name=scuba /> Kogoro even goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by her professional rival [[Reiko Kujo]] to try and get under Eri's skin.<ref name=Battle>[[Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro|Episode 264-265: Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro]]</ref> However, her plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony is able to help out Eri's case instead of Reiko's.<ref name=Battle />
{{clearleft}}

==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old <ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each others lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again <ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>.

==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills, and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime, since he hasn't met her for 10 years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====
[[File:Reiko876543456.png|thumb|right]]
Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor and rival of Eri Kisaki. They compete in several anime-only episodes called variations of "Courtroom Confrontation".

'''{{nihongo|Eri Kisaki|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}''', known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to to use her maiden name again after she began living separate from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|Eri and her childhood friend, Yukiko Kudo.]]
The legally separated wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had actually left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

In high school, Eri and her schoolmate and close friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]], were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" pageant, and were tied in the number of votes, due to the lateness of Kogoro.<ref name=Alike>[[Alike Princesses|Episode 333-334: Alike Princesses]]</ref> He had forgotten to vote, and by the time he had come to vote, it was too late.<ref name=Alike /> It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, he thought that the "Miss" meant "mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to her anger later on.<ref name=Alike />
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|Eri's pet cat, Goro, whom she named after Kogoro.]]
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee /><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike /> However, even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee />

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning, and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She has a cat, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Blue Russian Blue] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf /> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Eri is highly intelligent and has a sharp eye for details, and is also a skilled judoka, taught by Kogoro himself.<ref name=coffee /> She has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect /> Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee />

In chapter 985, its revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Eri's father ====
[[File:Eris father.jpg|thumb|right|Kogoro and Eri speaking to Eri's father.]]
Eri's father has only been mention once, but it's notes that he cares a lot for his daughter and is very overprotective.
{{clear}}

==== [[Kogoro Mouri]] ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|Kogoro and Eri.]]
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him, and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref>

[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]

In ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]'', Eri and Kogoro are shown having a great time eating dinner, but it ends when Kogoro looks out the window and sees the very attractive owner of the bar that he visits.<ref name=target /> This makes Eri turn angry and act how she normally acts to Kogoro. In the two-part episode, ''[[Scuba Diving Murder Case]]'', Eri accidentally loses her wedding ring on the beach, but pretends to have left it at home to see if Kogoro noticed.<ref name=scuba /> She gets visibly angry when Kogoro doesn't appear to notice it, especially when he leaves their lunch early to go back to the beach.<ref name=scuba /> Later, it is discovered that Kogoro had always known that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, and had gone back to the beach to look for it.<ref name=scuba /> This left a visibly shocked Eri to drive home speechless, but pleased.<ref name=scuba />

In another episode, Eri actually captures a confession from Kogoro saying that he misses her and wishes she would come back to him on a minidisc, replaying it over and over again afterwards.<ref name=Suspect /> However, even though they both miss each other, both of them still pretend not to care, and even become incredibly nasty to each other.<ref name=scuba /> Kogoro even goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by her professional rival [[Reiko Kujo]] to try and get under Eri's skin.<ref name=Battle>[[Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro|Episode 264-265: Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro]]</ref> However, her plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony is able to help out Eri's case instead of Reiko's.<ref name=Battle />
{{clearleft}}

==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old <ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each others lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again <ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>.

==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills, and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime, since he hasn't met her for 10 years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====
[[File:Reiko876543456.png|thumb|right]]
Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor and rival of Eri Kisaki. They compete in several anime-only episodes called variations of "Courtroom Confrontation".

'''{{nihongo|Eri Kisaki|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}''', known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to to use her maiden name again after she began living separate from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|Eri and her childhood friend, Yukiko Kudo.]]
The legally separated wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had actually left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

In high school, Eri and her schoolmate and close friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]], were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" pageant, and were tied in the number of votes, due to the lateness of Kogoro.<ref name=Alike>[[Alike Princesses|Episode 333-334: Alike Princesses]]</ref> He had forgotten to vote, and by the time he had come to vote, it was too late.<ref name=Alike /> It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, he thought that the "Miss" meant "mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to her anger later on.<ref name=Alike />
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|Eri's pet cat, Goro, whom she named after Kogoro.]]
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee /><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike /> However, even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee />

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning, and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She has a cat, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Blue Russian Blue] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf /> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Eri is highly intelligent and has a sharp eye for details, and is also a skilled judoka, taught by Kogoro himself.<ref name=coffee /> She has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect /> Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee />

In chapter 985, its revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).

== Appearance ==
Eri is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman. She has long and wavy brown hair with shorter bangs framing the sides of her face, most of which she usually keeps done up in a bun. She is rather slender yet curvaceous in built, she is shown to be very beautiful and admired by most men as she and Kudo Shinichi's mother were shown to be stunning beauties when they were in high school. She wears simple black glasses and is commonly seen wearing business suits.

==== Eri's father ====
[[File:Eris father.jpg|thumb|right|Kogoro and Eri speaking to Eri's father.]]
Eri's father has only been mention once, but it's notes that he cares a lot for his daughter and is very overprotective.
{{clear}}

==== [[Kogoro Mouri]] ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|Kogoro and Eri.]]
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him, and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref>

[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]

In ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]'', Eri and Kogoro are shown having a great time eating dinner, but it ends when Kogoro looks out the window and sees the very attractive owner of the bar that he visits.<ref name=target /> This makes Eri turn angry and act how she normally acts to Kogoro. In the two-part episode, ''[[Scuba Diving Murder Case]]'', Eri accidentally loses her wedding ring on the beach, but pretends to have left it at home to see if Kogoro noticed.<ref name=scuba /> She gets visibly angry when Kogoro doesn't appear to notice it, especially when he leaves their lunch early to go back to the beach.<ref name=scuba /> Later, it is discovered that Kogoro had always known that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, and had gone back to the beach to look for it.<ref name=scuba /> This left a visibly shocked Eri to drive home speechless, but pleased.<ref name=scuba />

In another episode, Eri actually captures a confession from Kogoro saying that he misses her and wishes she would come back to him on a minidisc, replaying it over and over again afterwards.<ref name=Suspect /> However, even though they both miss each other, both of them still pretend not to care, and even become incredibly nasty to each other.<ref name=scuba /> Kogoro even goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by her professional rival [[Reiko Kujo]] to try and get under Eri's skin.<ref name=Battle>[[Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro|Episode 264-265: Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro]]</ref> However, her plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony is able to help out Eri's case instead of Reiko's.<ref name=Battle />
{{clearleft}}

==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old <ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each others lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again <ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>.

==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills, and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime, since he hasn't met her for 10 years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====
[[File:Reiko876543456.png|thumb|right]]
Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor and rival of Eri Kisaki . They compete in several anime-only episodes called variations of "Courtroom Confrontation".

'''{{nihongo|Eri Kisaki|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}''', known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to to use her maiden name again after she began living separate from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|Eri and her childhood friend, Yukiko Kudo.]]
The legally separated wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had actually left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

In high school, Eri and her schoolmate and close friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]], were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" pageant, and were tied in the number of votes, due to the lateness of Kogoro.<ref name=Alike>[[Alike Princesses|Episode 333-334: Alike Princesses]]</ref> He had forgotten to vote, and by the time he had come to vote, it was too late.<ref name=Alike /> It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, he thought that the "Miss" meant "mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to her anger later on.<ref name=Alike />
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|Eri's pet cat, Goro, whom she named after Kogoro.]]
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee /><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike /> However, even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee />

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning, and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She has a cat, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Blue Russian Blue] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf /> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Eri is highly intelligent and has a sharp eye for details, and is also a skilled judoka, taught by Kogoro himself.<ref name=coffee /> She has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect /> Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee />

In chapter 985, its revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).

== Appearance ==
Eri is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman. She has long and wavy brown hair with shorter bangs framing the sides of her face, most of which she usually keeps done up in a bun. She is rather slender yet curvaceous in built, she is shown to be very beautiful and admired by most men as she and Kudo Shinichi's mother were shown to be stunning beauties when they were in high school. She wears simple black glasses and is commonly seen wearing business suits.

At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills, and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime, since he hasn't met her for 10 years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====

'''{{nihongo|Eri Kisaki|妃英理|Kisaki Eri}}''', known as '''Eva Kadan''' in the English Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Her real name is '''{{nihongo|Eri Mouri|毛利英理|Mōri Eri}}'''. She began to to use her maiden name again after she began living separate from her husband [[Kogoro Mouri]]. She also runs her law practice under her maiden name. In a recent hospitalization her name was displayed as "Eri Mouri" on the door. She has one daughter, [[Ran Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|Eri and her childhood friend, Yukiko Kudo.]]
The legally separated wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had actually left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

In high school, Eri and her schoolmate and close friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]], were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" pageant, and were tied in the number of votes, due to the lateness of Kogoro.<ref name=Alike>[[Alike Princesses|Episode 333-334: Alike Princesses]]</ref> He had forgotten to vote, and by the time he had come to vote, it was too late.<ref name=Alike /> It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, he thought that the "Miss" meant "mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to her anger later on.<ref name=Alike />
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Eri's pet cat, [[Goro]], whom she named after [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]].]]
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee /><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike /> However, even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee />

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning, and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She has a cat, a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Blue Russian Blue] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf /> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Eri is highly intelligent and has a sharp eye for details, and is also a skilled judoka, taught by Kogoro himself.<ref name=coffee /> She has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect /> Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee />

In chapter 985, its revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).

== Appearance ==
Eri is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman. She has long and wavy brown hair with shorter bangs framing the sides of her face, most of which she usually keeps done up in a bun. She is rather slender yet curvaceous in built, she is shown to be very beautiful and admired by most men as she and Kudo Shinichi's mother were shown to be stunning beauties when they were in high school. She wears simple black glasses and is commonly seen wearing business suits.

Eri's father has only been mention once, but it's notes that he cares a lot for his daughter and is very overprotective.

==== [[Kogoro Mouri]] ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}

[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|210px|Kogoro and Eri.]]
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him, and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref>

[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]

In ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]'', Eri and Kogoro are shown having a great time eating dinner, but it ends when Kogoro looks out the window and sees the very attractive owner of the bar that he visits.<ref name=target /> This makes Eri turn angry and act how she normally acts to Kogoro. In the two-part episode, ''[[Scuba Diving Murder Case]]'', Eri accidentally loses her wedding ring on the beach, but pretends to have left it at home to see if Kogoro noticed.<ref name=scuba /> She gets visibly angry when Kogoro doesn't appear to notice it, especially when he leaves their lunch early to go back to the beach.<ref name=scuba /> Later, it is discovered that Kogoro had always known that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, and had gone back to the beach to look for it.<ref name=scuba /> This left a visibly shocked Eri to drive home speechless, but pleased.<ref name=scuba />

In another episode, Eri actually captures a confession from Kogoro saying that he misses her and wishes she would come back to him on a minidisc, replaying it over and over again afterwards.<ref name=Suspect /> However, even though they both miss each other, both of them still pretend not to care, and even become incredibly nasty to each other.<ref name=scuba /> Kogoro even goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by her professional rival [[Reiko Kujo]] to try and get under Eri's skin.<ref name=Battle>[[Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro|Episode 264-265: Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro]]</ref> However, her plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony is able to help out Eri's case instead of Reiko's.<ref name=Battle />
{{clearleft}}

==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old <ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each others lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again <ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>.

==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills, and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime, since he hasn't met her for 10 years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====

'''{{nihongo|Yusaku Kudo|工藤優作|Kudō Yūsaku}}''' is the father of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with his wife [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], is one of only a few characters to [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|know]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. He is also a world famous novelist and the creator of the popular [[Night Baron]] series.

== Background ==
[[File:Young Yusaku.jpg|thumb|left|Young Yusaku.]]
Yusaku Kudo was already noted for his sharp intellect and deductive abilities at a young age. He met Inspector Juzo Megure and became a good friend and valuable adviser to him in solving very difficult cases.<ref name="Call">Manga Chapter 204: The Initial Call</ref> While he often assisted the police, Yusaku's primary aspiration was that of a writer. Quickly attracting acclaim in his early twenties as a young novelist, he encountered the girl whom he resolved to marry: [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], an already famed and beautiful actress. While taking her out in an expensive restaurant to make his proposal, he was involved in a murder case which he solved brilliantly, and right afterward proposed to a startled Yukiko - which she accepted (twenty years later, his son [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] would become involved in a follow-up of the exact same case in the exact same restaurant, but unlike Yusaku he wouldn't be able to profess his feelings to his own love, [[Ran Mouri]]).<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref>

Yusaku's detective stories have won international acclaim, especially his novels involving the character called Night Baron, who has become a popular cultural item. He prefers to be known as a novelist, despite multiple demonstrations of a Mycroftian tendency to solve a case before Shinichi reaches the same conclusions (as in the OVA where Shinichi was trying to prove the alibi involving, supposedly, a black labrador dog). In the course of his career, he also encountered the first [[Toichi Kuroba|Kaitou Kid]] and struck a sort of competitive friendship with him; it is implied that Yusaku knew Kid's identity, but chose to chase Kid only during heists in order to foil the theft and no further.<ref name="Code">Manga Chapter 573: Setting Sun</ref>

After Shinichi becomes Conan, Yusaku learns from [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] what occurred, and stages an elaborate false kidnapping to drive home to Conan what the stakes are if he is caught by the [[Black Organization]]. He offers to take Conan to a new life in America, but understands when Shinichi refuses due to a desire for independence and feelings for Ran - though Yusaku doesn't expect that resolve to last.<ref name="Kidnapping">{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=6 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1995-07-18 |isbn=4-09-123376-7 |chapter=File 1 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> He and Yukiko occasionally check up on Conan, but seem content to respect Shinichi's wishes to pursue the Black Organization without their help.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Yusaku Kudo possesses a very sharp intellect and observation skills, traits which his son inherited, though Yusaku's own abilities remain more well-honed. He demonstrates in multiple cases an ability to operate one step ahead of both Shinichi and criminals, but he chooses to not get involved unless Conan appears unable solve the case alone in time to save the intended victim.<ref name="Train">Manga Chapter 218: The Last Station</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 752: A Troublesome and Difficult Case</ref><ref>Episode (English #99-102: The Cornered Detective)</ref> His success as a novelist is to a large part based on his keen understanding of the criminal mind, as his most famous recurring character is a criminal. While he is an excellent author, he will occasionally blow off his editors in order to do other things, such as travel with Yukiko.<ref name="Kidnapping"></ref> He is very laid back and calm, never seen to lose his temper. Some might think him too laid back, as he often took his son to crime scenes before Shinichi was eleven,<ref name="Call"></ref> and showed no concern over six-year-old Shinichi dragging Ran and Agasa into a potentially dangerous area of town to investigate a code.<ref>Manga Chapter 572: Broad Daylight</ref> The only time he has been shown to be caught off-guard or stressed by a situation is after the false kidnapping, when Shinichi alerts Yusaku's editors to his location and they force him to make up for missing his deadlines.<ref name="Kidnapping"></ref> His less tolerable personality traits include a certain cockiness and a very bad touch at making humor.<ref name="Train"></ref>

Yusaku loves to read, and is the one who compiled the massive library of mystery fiction Shinichi read as a child. His love of Sherlock Holmes is briefly explored in the non-[[canon]] 6th movie, '[[The Phantom of Baker Street]]', wherein Yusaku and Agasa helped develop one of the Cocoon VR modules as 19th Century London and included Holmes, Watson, and Irene Adler as non-playable characters modeled visually after Yusaku, Agasa, and Yukiko, respectively.

Shinichi refuses, however, because he wants to stay near Ran and look for the Black Organization too. Yukiko was angry as this, but Yusaku tells her they should respect Shinichi's decision and says mischievously that he had another reason to stay in Japan. Later on a plane, Yukiko began to worry about Shinichi, but Yusaku calmed her down and told her that Shinichi will be alright and believes that he will come back to them. People from Foreigner Magazine find Yusaku, who was surprised that they found him. He asks how they found him. The Foreigner Magazine people said that Shinichi told them.

A combination of information from the past and present lead them to the solution that Yusaku had come up with all those years ago. The death had been a accident, but the first person who discovered the body, a young boy, had accidentally created the character, by placing candy next to the body, so the blood would flow around it and shape into the 'death' character.

After Bourbon reveals the trick that allowed Akai to survive, he gets a call from his co-workers announcing that they had encountered Akai while trying to capture [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Andre Camel]]. Bourbon apologizes to the "Subaru" and leaves. Afterword it is revealed that this was a new plan orchestrated by Conan with Yusaku wearing the Subaru disguise.

=== Yukiko Kudo ===
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Despite occasional quarrels, they truly love each other and Yusaku fully supports Yukiko on her connections with the film industry after her retirement.

=== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ===
Shinichi is his son and learns detective work from him. Yusaku takes Shinichi to crime scenes as soon as Shinichi was 7 years old. Overall, Yusaku is a better detective, both from his experience and his astute observations that Shinichi sometimes misses. Yusaku fully supports Shinichi's goal and gives him the needed independence to solve cases, only dropping hints or stepping in when it is absolutely necessary. Although Yusaku and Yukiko left their son in Japan 3 years ago when they moved to America, they still supported him financially and occasionally came back to Japan to check their son's wellbeing.

When Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yusaku staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yukiko and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization Shinichi was trying to investigate. He offered to bring Shinichi to America, which Shinichi refused. Since then, he still acted the same way towards Conan as before and limited his involvement with Black Organization, only helping his son on a single case by disguising as Okiya Subaru to fool Tooru Amuro.

'''{{nihongo|Makoto Kyogoku|京極真|Kyōgoku Makoto}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Makoto is [[Sonoko Suzuki]]'s long distance boyfriend.

== Background ==
Makoto attended Haido High School, where he was a prominent member, and eventually the captain, of his karate team and became known as "The Prince of Kicks". He noticed [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] cheering on her friend [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] with great vigour during a martial arts tournament, and became interested in her.<ref name=Summer>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref>

Some time later, he worked in his family's inn as a waiter, where he encountered Sonoko again, this time in company of Ran and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].<ref name=Summer/> Soon, however, Sonoko was stalked by a crazed serial killer who suspected her of having taken a picture of him at his latest murder (which she hadn't) and therefore wanted to both silence her as a potential witness and kill her because he hated brunette girls in general. Makoto saved her just in the nick of time, earning her affection, but his constant participation in martial arts competitions and a studying period overseas prevented them from seeing each other often enough.<ref name=Summer/> Sonoko always does her best to maintain contact with him, though, including sending him little trinkets and gifts that she makes herself, and Makoto has stayed loyal to her. He usually gets caught up in one of Sonoko's silly romantic schemes. His fighting skills have proven to be incredibly handy for Conan, having saved Conan, Sonoko, and Ran from being in dangerous peril many times.

== Personality ==
As a master martial artist, Makoto is usually cool, calm and collected, especially in crisis situations, and also a keen observer. At times, he can also adopt a very intimidating aura, making him appear very fearsome. In the TV Original episode "[[The Mystery of the Vanished Black Belt]]", it is explained that he adopted these personality facets following an encounter with the renowned martial artist and teacher Tatsuhito Takami in his youth.

The only thing which does throw Makoto off is his affection for Sonoko, for whom he will go to great lengths, even forsake an important tournament just to meet her. However, Makoto's bashfulness around her, his dedication to his fighting skills and some competitive impulse keep him jumping from one obligation to the other, so their relationship is rendered a bit difficult. But at one point, Sonoko introduces Makoto to her parents, and they eventually approve of him.

Makoto's upbringing must have been rather conservative, since he doesn't quite approve (or at least expresses puzzlement about) Sonoko wearing modern, revealing clothes and therefore worries about her catching a cold whenever he sees her like this.

As a comic relief, Makoto always bears a plaster above his left brow as a mark for his fighting competitiveness.

Makoto is depicted as one of the most powerful teenage martial artists throughout the whole series. In reference to his incredible ability, he is nicknamed the "Prince of Kicks".

==== Makoto's family ====
Not much is known about Makoto's family except for that Makoto's father owns the Kawaraya Inn that Conan, Ran, and Sonoko stayed at in Izu.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
{{main|Sonoko Suzuki and Makoto Kyogoku}}
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while vacationing, where he was a waiter at a restaurant and worked at his family's inn in his spare time. At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. After he later protects her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer, Sonoko and Makoto entertain a long distance relationship while Makoto goes to study abroad, which is additionally hampered by the fact that he tends to be a little bashful around her.<ref name=Summer />
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]

Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=Valentine>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=Red>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> Sonoko loves to use some kind of concocted scheme to get Makoto to come to her, usually in some romantic way, to create a romantic and dreamy experience for her.<ref name=Red/> This, however, doesn't always end in success, but he sometimes does stumble through her little schemes.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red/> He often warns her of the way she is dressed, because he believes that guys will try to come after her because of it.<ref name=Summer/><ref name=Valentine/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=Megure>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=Pottery>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her bag, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=Photo>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him a chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=Valentine/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=Valentine/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, and despite her constant flirting with any other attractive boy she stumbles upon, Sonoko has generally stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else. Makoto also stays faithful to Sonoko.

'''{{nihongo|Makoto Kyogoku|京極真|Kyōgoku Makoto}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Makoto is [[Sonoko Suzuki]]'s long distance boyfriend.

== Background ==
Makoto attended Haido High School, where he was a prominent member, and eventually the captain, of his karate team and became known as "The Prince of Kicks". He noticed [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] cheering on her friend [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] with great vigour during a martial arts tournament, and became interested in her.<ref name=Summer>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref>

Some time later, he worked in his family's inn as a waiter, where he encountered Sonoko again, this time in company of Ran and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].<ref name=Summer/> Soon, however, Sonoko was stalked by a crazed serial killer who suspected her of having taken a picture of him at his latest murder (which she hadn't) and therefore wanted to both silence her as a potential witness and kill her because he hated brunette girls in general. Makoto saved her just in the nick of time, earning her affection, but his constant participation in martial arts competitions and a studying period overseas prevented them from seeing each other often enough.<ref name=Summer/> Sonoko always does her best to maintain contact with him, though, including sending him little trinkets and gifts that she makes herself, and Makoto has stayed loyal to her. He usually gets caught up in one of Sonoko's silly romantic schemes. His fighting skills have proven to be incredibly handy for Conan, having saved Conan, Sonoko, and Ran from being in dangerous peril many times.

== Personality ==
As a master martial artist, Makoto is usually cool, calm and collected, especially in crisis situations, and also a keen observer. At times, he can also adopt a very intimidating aura, making him appear very fearsome. In the TV Original episode "[[The Mystery of the Vanished Black Belt]]", it is explained that he adopted these personality facets following an encounter with the renowned martial artist and teacher Tatsuhito Takami in his youth.

The only thing which does throw Makoto off is his affection for Sonoko, for whom he will go to great lengths, even forsake an important tournament just to meet her. However, Makoto's bashfulness around her, his dedication to his fighting skills and some competitive impulse keep him jumping from one obligation to the other, so their relationship is rendered a bit difficult. But at one point, Sonoko introduces Makoto to her parents, and they eventually approve of him.

Makoto's upbringing must have been rather conservative, since he doesn't quite approve (or at least expresses puzzlement about) Sonoko wearing modern, revealing clothes and therefore worries about her catching a cold whenever he sees her like this.

As a comic relief, Makoto always bears a plaster above his left brow as a mark for his fighting competitiveness.

'''{{nihongo|Makoto Kyogoku|京極真|Kyōgoku Makoto}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Makoto is [[Sonoko Suzuki]]'s long distance boyfriend.

== Background ==
Makoto attended Haido High School, where he was a prominent member, and eventually the captain, of his karate team and became known as "The Prince of Kicks". He noticed [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] cheering on her friend [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] with great vigour during a martial arts tournament, and became interested in her.<ref name=Summer>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref>

Some time later, he worked in his family's inn as a waiter, where he encountered Sonoko again, this time in company of Ran and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].<ref name=Summer/> Soon, however, Sonoko was stalked by a crazed serial killer who suspected her of having taken a picture of him at his latest murder (which she hadn't) and therefore wanted to both silence her as a potential witness and kill her because he hated brunette girls in general. Makoto saved her just in the nick of time, earning her affection, but his constant participation in martial arts competitions and a studying period overseas prevented them from seeing each other often enough.<ref name=Summer/> Sonoko always does her best to maintain contact with him, though, including sending him little trinkets and gifts that she makes herself, and Makoto has stayed loyal to her. He usually gets caught up in one of Sonoko's silly romantic schemes. His fighting skills have proven to be incredibly handy for Conan, having saved Conan, Sonoko, and Ran from being in dangerous peril many times.

== Personality ==
As a master martial artist, Makoto is usually cool, calm and collected, especially in crisis situations, and also a keen observer. At times, he can also adopt a very intimidating aura, making him appear very fearsome. In the TV Original episode "[[The Mystery of the Vanished Black Belt]]", it is explained that he adopted these personality facets following an encounter with the renowned martial artist and teacher Tatsuhito Takami in his youth.

The only thing which does throw Makoto off is his affection for Sonoko, for whom he will go to great lengths, even forsake an important tournament just to meet her. However, Makoto's bashfulness around her, his dedication to his fighting skills and some competitive impulse keep him jumping from one obligation to the other, so their relationship is rendered a bit difficult. But at one point, Sonoko introduces Makoto to her parents, and they eventually approve of him.

Makoto's upbringing must have been rather conservative, since he doesn't quite approve (or at least expresses puzzlement about) Sonoko wearing modern, revealing clothes and therefore worries about her catching a cold whenever he sees her like this.

As a comic relief, Makoto always bears a plaster above his left brow as a mark for his fighting competitiveness.

== Abilities and skills==
=== Martial arts ===
[[File:Poor Criminals.png|thumb|right|Makoto Kyogoku sending various criminals flying from the ground (notice the height).]]
Makoto is depicted as one of the most powerful teenage martial artists throughout the whole series. In reference to his incredible ability, he is nicknamed the "Prince of Kicks". He has acquired championships in some international Karate tournaments.<ref>[[The Revival of the Dying Message|Episode 173: "The Revival of the Dying Message"]]</ref><ref>[[White Day of Betrayal|Episode 609: "White Day of Betrayal"]]</ref> Makoto also had a 400 win streak from matches around the world that was broken only when he skipped a tournament to be introduced to Sonoko's parents and lost by default.<ref name=862p2>Manga [[Volume 82]], File 1 (862), pg 2: "Iron Wall"]]</ref>

Makoto's extraordinary might is carried over into real life combat against criminals carrying weapons and firearms.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red /> As a show of his ability, Makoto was surrounded by 11 men armed with BB pistols. Despite wearing a gasmask that limited his field of view, he caught all the BBs they fired and knocked out all 11 men.<ref name=862p11>Manga [[Volume 82]], File 1 (862), pg 11: "Iron Wall"]]</ref> In another case, his unarmed combat skills send a huge group of gangsters armed with swords to the ground with no injuries suffered on his person, despite the latters' vastly superior numeric strength.<ref name=Red /> Even his kick alone can break the enemy's sword into two.<ref name=V52>[[Volume 52|Volume 52, File 543: "Superman"]]</ref> The people who have suffered from his attacks are usually depicted with severe injuries, such as bleeding or losing some teeth. Many often pass out or become unable to move.<ref name=V52 />

=== Strength ===
[[File:bowling.PNG|thumb|right|Makoto accidentally throws a bowling ball.]]
Makoto is shown to be able to throw a bowling ball all the way to the end of its lane (and smashing a hole into its headboard) when he tries to play bowling with Sonoko.<ref name=V81>[[Volume 81|Volume 81, File 859: "Jeet Kune Do vs Karate"]]</ref>

He is able to bring down a building pillar by repeatedly kicking and punching it.<ref>[(Volume 81|Manga: 862-864 "Twin Bets", Anime: 746-747) "Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku]]</ref>

=== Keen Mind ===
Makoto is shown to have an astute mind due to his extensive training, being able to identify Kaitou Kid disguised as Sonoko because of a difference in finger lengths. This is possible because he can take full dimensions of a person he meets in moments. It is a habit of analyzing his opponents physical features with a glance.

=== Agility ===
As a skilled and well-trained martial artist, Makoto is fast and agile. His observational skills and quick reaction time enable him to dodge a bullet<ref name=Valentine/> and block sword slashes.<ref name=Red/>

=== Stamina and pain tolerance ===
Makoto seems completely immune to pain, dismissing a knife sticking in his arm as nothing too significant.<ref name=Summer/>

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
{{main|Sonoko Suzuki and Makoto Kyogoku}}
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while vacationing, where he was a waiter at a restaurant and worked at his family's inn in his spare time. At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. After he later protects her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer, Sonoko and Makoto entertain a long distance relationship while Makoto goes to study abroad, which is additionally hampered by the fact that he tends to be a little bashful around her.<ref name=Summer />
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]

Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=Valentine>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=Red>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> Sonoko loves to use some kind of concocted scheme to get Makoto to come to her, usually in some romantic way, to create a romantic and dreamy experience for her.<ref name=Red/> This, however, doesn't always end in success, but he sometimes does stumble through her little schemes.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red/> He often warns her of the way she is dressed, because he believes that guys will try to come after her because of it.<ref name=Summer/><ref name=Valentine/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=Megure>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=Pottery>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her bag, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=Photo>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him a chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=Valentine/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=Valentine/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, and despite her constant flirting with any other attractive boy she stumbles upon, Sonoko has generally stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else. Makoto also stays faithful to Sonoko.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Makoto's family ====
Not much is known about Makoto's family except for that Makoto's father owns the Kawaraya Inn that Conan, Ran, and Sonoko stayed at in Izu. During the summer, Makoto occasionally helps at the hotel and works as a waiter at the Nagisa Sea Shop restaurant located on the nearby beach.<ref name=Summer /> In [[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]] Makoto mentions that his younger sister requested that he tape "The Maple Leaves of Winter" for her.<ref>[[Volume 52#File 543 - Superman|Volume 52, File 543 "Superman", page 17]]: "実はあのドラマ、妹に頼まれてビデオに録っていたんですが…" ("Actually, my sister asked me to record that drama for her.")</ref>

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
{{main|Sonoko Suzuki and Makoto Kyogoku}}
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while vacationing, where he was a waiter at a restaurant and worked at his family's inn in his spare time. At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. After he later protects her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer, Sonoko and Makoto entertain a long distance relationship while Makoto goes to study abroad, which is additionally hampered by the fact that he tends to be a little bashful around her.<ref name=Summer />
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]

Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=Valentine>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=Red>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> Sonoko loves to use some kind of concocted scheme to get Makoto to come to her, usually in some romantic way, to create a romantic and dreamy experience for her.<ref name=Red/> This, however, doesn't always end in success, but he sometimes does stumble through her little schemes.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red/> He often warns her of the way she is dressed, because he believes that guys will try to come after her because of it.<ref name=Summer/><ref name=Valentine/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=Megure>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=Pottery>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her bag, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=Photo>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him a chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=Valentine/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=Valentine/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, and despite her constant flirting with any other attractive boy she stumbles upon, Sonoko has generally stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else. Makoto also stays faithful to Sonoko.

'''{{nihongo|Makoto Kyogoku|京極真|Kyōgoku Makoto}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Makoto is [[Sonoko Suzuki]]'s long distance boyfriend.

== Background ==
Makoto attended Haido High School, where he was a prominent member, and eventually the captain, of his karate team and became known as "The Prince of Kicks". He noticed [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] cheering on her friend [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] with great vigour during a martial arts tournament, and became interested in her.<ref name=Summer>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref>

Some time later, he worked in his family's inn as a waiter, where he encountered Sonoko again, this time in company of Ran and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].<ref name=Summer/> Soon, however, Sonoko was stalked by a crazed serial killer who suspected her of having taken a picture of him at his latest murder (which she hadn't) and therefore wanted to both silence her as a potential witness and kill her because he hated brunette girls in general. Makoto saved her just in the nick of time, earning her affection, but his constant participation in martial arts competitions and a studying period overseas prevented them from seeing each other often enough.<ref name=Summer/> Sonoko always does her best to maintain contact with him, though, including sending him little trinkets and gifts that she makes herself, and Makoto has stayed loyal to her. He usually gets caught up in one of Sonoko's silly romantic schemes. His fighting skills have proven to be incredibly handy for Conan, having saved Conan, Sonoko, and Ran from being in dangerous peril many times.

== Personality ==
As a master martial artist, Makoto is usually cool, calm and collected, especially in crisis situations, and also a keen observer. At times, he can also adopt a very intimidating aura, making him appear very fearsome. In the TV Original episode "[[The Mystery of the Vanished Black Belt]]", it is explained that he adopted these personality facets following an encounter with the renowned martial artist and teacher Tatsuhito Takami in his youth.

The only thing which does throw Makoto off is his affection for Sonoko, for whom he will go to great lengths, even forsake an important tournament just to meet her. However, Makoto's bashfulness around her, his dedication to his fighting skills and some competitive impulse keep him jumping from one obligation to the other, so their relationship is rendered a bit difficult. But at one point, Sonoko introduces Makoto to her parents, and they eventually approve of him.

Makoto's upbringing must have been rather conservative, since he doesn't quite approve (or at least expresses puzzlement about) Sonoko wearing modern, revealing clothes and therefore worries about her catching a cold whenever he sees her like this.

As a comic relief, Makoto always bears a plaster above his left brow as a mark for his fighting competitiveness.

== Abilities and skills==
=== Martial arts ===
[[File:Poor Criminals.png|250px|thumb|right|Makoto Kyogoku sending various criminals flying from the ground (notice the height).]]
Makoto is depicted as one of the most powerful teenage martial artists throughout the whole series. In reference to his incredible ability, he is nicknamed the "Prince of Kicks". He has acquired championships in some international Karate tournaments.<ref>[[The Revival of the Dying Message|Episode 173: "The Revival of the Dying Message"]]</ref><ref>[[White Day of Betrayal|Episode 609: "White Day of Betrayal"]]</ref> Makoto also had a 400 win streak from matches around the world that was broken only when he skipped a tournament to be introduced to Sonoko's parents and lost by default.<ref name=862p2>Manga [[Volume 82]], File 1 (862), pg 2: "Iron Wall"]]</ref>

Makoto's extraordinary might is carried over into real life combat against criminals carrying weapons and firearms.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red /> As a show of his ability, Makoto was surrounded by 11 men armed with BB pistols. Despite wearing a gasmask that limited his field of view, he caught all the BBs they fired and knocked out all 11 men.<ref name=862p11>Manga [[Volume 82]], File 1 (862), pg 11: "Iron Wall"]]</ref> In another case, his unarmed combat skills send a huge group of gangsters armed with swords to the ground with no injuries suffered on his person, despite the latters' vastly superior numeric strength.<ref name=Red /> Even his kick alone can break the enemy's sword into two.<ref name=V52>[[Volume 52|Volume 52, File 543: "Superman"]]</ref> The people who have suffered from his attacks are usually depicted with severe injuries, such as bleeding or losing some teeth. Many often pass out or become unable to move.<ref name=V52 />

=== Strength ===
[[File:bowling.PNG|200px|thumb|right|Makoto accidentally throws a bowling ball.]]
Makoto is shown to be able to throw a bowling ball all the way to the end of its lane (and smashing a hole into its headboard) when he tries to play bowling with Sonoko.<ref name=V81>[[Volume 81|Volume 81, File 859: "Jeet Kune Do vs Karate"]]</ref>

He is able to bring down a building pillar by repeatedly kicking and punching it.<ref>[(Volume 81|Manga: 862-864 "Twin Bets", Anime: 746-747) "Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku]]</ref>

=== Keen Mind ===
Makoto is shown to have an astute mind due to his extensive training, being able to identify Kaitou Kid disguised as Sonoko because of a difference in finger lengths. This is possible because he can take full dimensions of a person he meets in moments. It is a habit of analyzing his opponents physical features with a glance.

=== Agility ===
As a skilled and well-trained martial artist, Makoto is fast and agile. His observational skills and quick reaction time enable him to dodge a bullet<ref name=Valentine/> and block sword slashes.<ref name=Red/>

=== Stamina and pain tolerance ===
Makoto seems completely immune to pain, dismissing a knife sticking in his arm as nothing too significant.<ref name=Summer/>

Tomoaki Araide is the son of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s physician, Yoshiteru Araide, and also on occasion the basketball coach and school medic at Teitan High, the school [[Shinichi Kudo]], Ran Mouri and [[Sonoko Suzuki]] attended. Tomoaki had studied at the University of Tokyo; during this time, he had treated a young woman named [[Hikaru Yasumoto]], who was later hired into the Araide household as a maid.

When Yoshiteru Araide invited Kogoro Mouri, his daughter Ran and [[Conan Edogawa]] to dinner in his house, Conan noticed that Ran was paying a lot of unusual attention on Araide. The sojourn, however, quickly turned into a murder case as Yoshiteru Araide was found electrocuted in his bathtub. The murderer turned out to be Yoko Araide, Araide's wife and Tomoaki's stepmother, who had avenged the suicide of her dear friend Chiaki (Tomoaki's mother) over her husband's extramarital affairs four years previously. And as it turned out, Ran's attention on Tomoaki was in fact directed at the sweater he was wearing, of which she subsequently made two copies both for her father and Shinichi, who came to wear it still being Conan.<ref>Manga Chapter 237: Blackout Murder Case</ref>

=== Vermouth as Araide ===
[[Image:Vermouth and Araide.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Vermouth once disguised as Araide to try and track down Haibara.]]
Although he had been offered a position at a clinic in Aomori, Tomoaki stayed on and maintained his late father's practise. However, it was later learned that his identity had been usurped by [[Vermouth]], as a disguise to track down [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Jodie Starling]] of the FBI discovered this, which resulted in Araide and his family being rescued just as Vermouth attempted to kill them in order to cover her tracks, and eventually led to Vermouth ending her role as Araide.<ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind the Mask</ref>

Araide returned to Japan after Vermouth had been exposed, and has continued to practice in the Beika area ever since. He has also come to know about Conan's involvement with the FBI from [[Jodie Starling]], but remains unaware of his true role in the chain of events.<ref>Manga Chapter 457: School Ghost Story</ref>

== Personality ==
Araide is a very kind character and doctor, always lending a hand whenever he is needed. He tends to believe in the good of man and thus can be a bit too trusting at times.<ref>Manga Chapter 236: Blackout Murder Case</ref>

== Plot overview ==
=== The Unseen Angle of the Darkness (Manga: [[Volume 24#Blackout Murder Case|234-237]], Anime: [[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|170-171]]) ===
Kogoro Mouri visits Ariade clinic with Ran and Kogoro in tow to receive the results of his health checkup from his doctor Yoshiteru Araide. Ran is looking for the bathroom when she meets Tomoaki Araide, 25 years old, temporarily working for his father’s clinic until he moves to Beika hospital. Tomoaki Araide’s father was then killed in his bathtub via electrocution. Detective Takagi, Inspector Megure, and other nameless policemen investigate the murder.

Conan investigates and discovers Yoko Araide, Yoshiteru Araide's second wife was the murderer. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathtub and put the shaver in the bathtub. She then snuck back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted.

The motive was that Araide's mom, Chiaki, died four years ago, while drunk driving, although she is supposed to have hated alcohol. She left a message to Yoko Araide to “Please take care of Tomoaki. Don’t let him follow his dad.” A journal Yoko found later indicates that Yoshiteru Araide was a flirtatious guy who drove Chiaki to drink. Meanwhile, Araide becomes very upset that his family is suspected by the police and that a trap was laid (by Conan) to catch the murderer. Araide rushes to the bathroom and overhears “Mouri’s” offer to conceal some of the details of the crime to protect the maid Hikaru’s conscience. This offer proves crucial as Vermouth does not know this detail because the records of investigation were altered to protect the maid’s conscience.

=== Teitan High School's Ghost Story (Manga: [[Volume 44#Classmate's Ghost Case|457]]-[[Volume 45#Classmate's Ghost Case|459]], Anime: [[Teitan High School's Ghost Story|361-362]]) ===
Araide returns to Teitan High School and helps the students with a school ghost mystery case. He seems to only know the basic details of Vermouth's impersonation, which he was the victim of. He states that he was in Japan two years ago when he treated a student who fell down some stairs. Araide attempts to examine “sleeping detective” Sonoko, but is waived off by Conan (who was actually using Sonoko as his mouthpiece, just as he did with Kogoro).

Araide seems surprised when Ran says that he is nice, and in the end he gets a call from Jodie. Araide says he is surprised that Vermouth’s 'Araide disguise' was very well-liked, based on the testimony of the students and teachers, and asks Jodie if Vermouth is really a bad person. Jodie becomes exceedingly grumpy and yells at Araide that Vermouth was only copying his personality.

=== The Secret Path to School (Manga: [[Volume 49#Missing Classmate Case|507]], Anime: [[Super Secret of the Road to School|428]]) ===
A missing girl caught in a hit and run leads the detective boys to Araide’s hospital. Araide then starts raising two stray kittens while seeking new owners for them.

=== Non-[[canon]] depictions ===
In the OVA story "[[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]]", Tomoaki Araide appears to have developed feelings for Ran and proposes to her ten years in the future. Ran, however, rejects him, saying she's willing to wait another ten years for Shinichi's return. However, since this story was all part of a fever hallucination [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] was suffering at that time, it can be dismissed as non-relevant.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:araideran.png|thumb|Ran and Tomoaki]]
Araide and [[Ran Mouri]] became friends while Araide was acting as a temporary basketball coach in place of a teacher who broke his leg. During "[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]", Conan wrongly came to the conclusion that Ran was attracted to Araide. In truth, she wanted to borrow his sweater in order to knit a similarly patterned one for Shinichi. Some anime-original features play with the idea that Araide is interested in Ran, most notably in the OVA story [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]] where he proposed to her, but this was only a dream of Conan's and can be ignored.

'''{{nihongo|Sumiko Kobayashi|小林澄子|Kobayashi Sumiko}}''', also known as '''Liz Faulkner''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the homeroom teacher of [[Conan Edogawa]] and the girlfriend of [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]]. She is also the self-appointed (and somewhat unwelcome) "manager" of the [[Detective Boys]].

== Background ==
Sumiko Kobayashi attended Teitan Elementary and was in the 18th graduating class, two classes above [[Kazunobu Chiba]]. She became the new class teacher of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]] after their previous teacher had married and retired. Her harsh behavior towards her charges had earned her the nickname "oni-baba" (hag) amongst her students.

One night, the Detective Boys came into the school to investigate strange occurrences involving busts from art class and an anatomy model from the sick room, which had been mysteriously moved around, and the unexplained absence of the vice principal. The busts and the model had actually been used by Sumiko for a rehearsal for the next parent-teacher conference. Sumiko is in fact very fond of children, but her kindness had caused her to have very little control over her class at her previous school, resulting in a disastrous parent-teacher conference. To fix this, she had forced herself to be strict and harsh when she transferred to Teitan Elementary, but after the Detective Boys discovered her nicer side, she decided to be herself again and has become very popular with her students ever since.<ref>Manga Chapter 155: Is Someone There?</ref>

On one occasion, she accompanied Conan and the Detective Boys to an interview which became a murder investigation as they found the reporter slain. After witnessing Conan in action, she announced her desire to join the Detective Boys and become their manager - a decision which was immediately vetoed<ref>Manga Chapter 517: The Detective Boys</ref> and is commonly neglected in the field.<ref>Manga Chapter 691: Conan vs. The Detective Boys</ref>

As it turned out later, when Sumiko was still a small child, she had confronted two no-good juveniles attempting to steal mangas from a bookshop. When the culprits contemptuously shoved her aside, a young boy intervened on her behalf, cooly citing a paragraph from Japanese law concerning theft. As a sign of gratitude, Sumiko bought her rescuer a drink ornamented with a circle of sakura flowers made from the straw wrapper, as a symbol of goodness and justice (referring to the sakura shaped Japanese police badges). It would not be until many years later that she would encounter him again as a member of the police force, under the name of [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]].<ref>Manga Chapters 687-689: Sakura Girl Case</ref>

Shiratori recognized Sumiko on first sight, and it turned out he had held deep feelings for her all these years. However, he wanted to win properly Sumiko's affection first and then tell her about what he viewed as the hand of fate, so he kept silent about their first encounter and banned the Detective Kids from helping him in any way. This scheme backfired when she found out that she had a dead lookalike in the police department whom Shiratori had once pursued romantically (unbeknownst to her, that was because Shiratori mistook her for Sumiko)...

Thinking that Shiratori considered her a mere replacement for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], Sumiko was understandably hurt and started distancing herself from him, even after Shiratori personally explained their common past to her - a move which came at a bad time, because she had become an unwitting (and the sole) witness to a murder and the murderer would therefore try everything to silence her. And for worse, Sumiko's own memories of their encounter were much more vague than Shiratori's own. so she thought Sato was his "girl of destiny".<ref>Manga Chapters 707: The Sakura Girl is...?</ref> When the culprit was apprehended and Shiratori subdued him with words, Sumiko did indeed remember Shiratori as her childhood savior/friend, and the relationship was reaffirmed.<ref>Manga Chapters 708: The Sakura in Full Bloom</ref>

== Personality ==
Sumiko is very kind and fond of children, considering them the most wonderful thing in the world. Sumiko is also quite timid and sensitive, not to mention that she suffers from serious stagefright. Even though she has appointed herself the manager of the Detective Boys, the kids often leave her out of case or ignore her warnings. She was also quite hurt when she believed [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Inspector Shiratori]] was only interested in her because of her resemblance to [[Miwako Sato]] - a resemblance so striking it even fooled Sato's close associates [[Kazunobu Chiba|Chiba]] and [[Yumi Miyamoto|Yumi]].<ref>Manga Chapter 706: Kobayashi-sensei's Misunderstanding</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 707: The Sakura Girl is...</ref>

In contrast of Sumiko's physical resemblance to Sato, however, the two women have almost entirely different personality traits: While Sato is reckless, outspoken, daring, and impulsive, Sumiko is more gentle, softspoken, cautious, and careful in any given situation.

Sumiko loves mystery novels, particularly the works of [[Edogawa Rampo]]. Because of this, [[Ai Haibara]] suggests that she and Shiratori would work well together because Sumiko would enjoy hearing about cases from him.<ref>Manga Chapter 690: The Haunted Warehouse</ref>

== Plot overview ==
=== School Mystery Case (Manga: [[Volume 16#School Mystery Case|154-155]]; Anime: [[The Seven Mysteries of Teitan Elementary School Case|112]]) ===
In her first appearance, Sumiko was known by the students of Class 1-B, including Conan and the Detective Boys, as a strict, mean teacher, who was always disciplining her class, never showing any kindness. Her initial personality led to her students nicknaming her "Old Demon Hag". Then, one night, the [[Detective Boys]] decided to figure out why many dolls were missing one after another. Conan deduces the one behind the "kidnappings" was Sumiko herself, which relieved the children. Sumiko finally revealed the reason behind her "dictator-like" teaching was that, in the past, two of her students fought at a parent-teacher conference, because of her lack in discipline. She would come at Teitan Elementary at night to practice for the next parent-teacher conference, so there would be no more fights. However, with some suggestions from the Detective Boys, she changed her teaching style and became more well liked.

=== Magazine Interview Case (Manga: [[Volume 50#Magazine Interview Case|515-517]]; Anime: [[Information Gathered About the Detective Boys|435-436]]) ===
Sumiko agrees to give the Detective Boys a ride to a writer's home, since he wanted to do a report on them for their involvement in complicated cases. However, the gang didn't expect a dead writer. When [[Inspector Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi]] arrive at the scene, both believe that Sumiko is Sato because, without her glasses on, she bears a scary resemblance to the officer. Soon Conan tries to prove the Detective Boy's skills in catching the criminal, however, he also had to conceal his vast intelligence, so his secret wouldn't be questioned by Sumiko. Conan and his friends manage to drop hints on who the real culprit is which leads to his arrest.

After the case, Sumiko dubbed herself the "manager" of the group, wanting to solve and capture "bad guys" along with them.

During another one of the kids' cases, Sumiko is called to pick up the children by Megure. However, Shiratori (who had learned about Sumiko's existence few minutes before and was wondering if she was "the girl" from his past, since the other non-Sato candidate turned out to be the culprit of the case) offered that she should take them home in his car, while holding her hand in a romantic style.

=== Haunted Warehouse Case (Manga: [[Volume 66#Haunted Warehouse Case|690-691]]; Anime: [[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|571-572]]) ===
Over the next few days, he has made constant visits to where she works, warning her of any and all danger in the vicinity, which sparks Sumiko developing a crush on him, unaware of their actual history.

=== Purse Snatcher Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 67#Purse Snatcher Murder Case|705-708]]; Anime: [[Kobayashi-sensei's Love|583-585]]) ===
Later, Shiratori again warns Sumiko of a vicious, serial purse thief, who might be a woman, who's still at large. During the conversation, the latter asks why Shiratori kept calling her, and he simply replied, "Because I worry about you". The Detective Boys soon arrive and ask her if they want to come to a festival with her and she agrees. Soon, she loses sight of the children and as she's trying to find her way around, she becomes a witness of a murder. She was able to see the culprit's silhouette and hear their voice.

The next day, Sumiko goes to the police station, with the kids to testify what she saw. She meets [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Kazunobu Chiba]], who confuse her with Sato until Shiratori clears up the misunderstanding and escorts Sumiko to a conference so they can discuss the case in more detail. While on her way back from the restroom, she sees Sato from afar and is initially ''very'' happy and giddy at the thought of a woman who looks like her... but then she learns of Shiratori's former interest in Sato. This leads her to suspect that Shiratori only liked her because of her physical traits to the female officer, and depresses her greatly.

From then on Sumiko begins to treat Shiratori harshly and, after seeing that the three main suspects weren't the criminal, she coldly tells Shiratori not to bother her anymore and leaves. The next day at school school, he tells her the real reason why he liked her, but she dismisses it, as she believes Sato was "the girl of destiny" and cannot remember their supposed "meeting". However, while working late at night, she was almost killed by the criminal in order to silence her, but is saved by Shiratori, the Detective Boys and Sato.

Sumiko then finally remembers Shiratori, after he calls out the culprit in almost exactly the way he called out the shoplifters to help her. Shiratori then confesses he was always in love with her and Sumiko blushes and replies, "Yes.". Later, she makes a special bento for Shiratori, signifying that the two are now a couple.

=== Family & Friends ===
==== Ninzaburo Shiratori ====
{{main|Ninzaburo Shiratori and Sumiko Kobayashi}}
As a child, Sumiko instantly became Shiratori's true love, and was the very reason why he entered the police force. They had confronted a bunch of shoplifters together as children; Shiratori had prevented her from getting hurt and also stopped the theft, and as thanks she gave him a cup of cola with a band made of straw wrappers, shaped like the ''sakura'' blossoms that look like the symbol of the Japanese Police.

For quite a while Shiratori believed that [[Miwako Sato]] was the girl he had loved since childhood and changed his life forever (due to her resemblance with the "girl of destiny"), hence he was interested in her. At the beginning of a case that revealed parts of Shiratori's past, he realized Sato wasn't his true love, and even if she was, she had chosen [[Wataru Takagi]] over him. Even worse, at the end of the said case, Shiratori was left depressed and exhausted, since another woman who could have been his long-lost love actually turned out to be the culprit. However, Ayumi cheered him up by saying the exact same lines that the girl from his past said and by making the same design on the wristband she gave him. Shiratori desperately asked who taught her that, and Ayumi told him it was her school teacher, Sumiko. Then, at that exact moment, Sumiko came to pick up the Detective Boys upon [[Juzo Megure]]'s request.

When Shiratori laid his eyes on Sumiko, he instantly recognized her as his true "woman of destiny", and their relationship began to spark. He would always warn her of any dangers nearby where she worked or lived, which caused Sumiko to develop romantic feelings. In fact, his concern over her, constant visits, and kindness towards her, often caused her to blush deeply.

When Sumiko became a witness in a murder investigation, she learned of her resemblance to Detective Sato. And after hearing about Shiratori's former crush on her from other policemen, she thought that the only reason he was so interested in her was because of her striking resemblance to Sato. This left her not only shocked, but also hurt, thinking Shiratori didn't have feelings for her. This wasn't helped by Shiratori not having told her about their shared past, as he was waiting for the right moment to do so.

Not knowing the real reason why Shiratori liked her, Sumiko began to act coldly and harshly towards him. Even when he confessed his true feelings to her and told her about their meeting, she brushed it off, thinking Shiratori confused her with Detective Sato. However, it was all cleared up by the end of the case, when he not only saved her from the culprit, but also coolly recited a law the same way he did as a child in that book store, which finally reminded her of their first meeting. Shiratori romantically confessed to her, which made her blush. She replied with a quick and simple "Yes".

Afterwards, the two began dating, and Sumiko started giving Shiratori bentos every morning for his "energy demanding" work. On White Day, Shiratori was seen with many presents inside his car for her. Later on, she was shown with all the delicious sweets Shiratori had brought for her, at her house, happily not knowing where to begin.

'''{{nihongo|Aoko Nakamori|中森青子|Nakamori Aoko}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Kaito Kuroba]].

== Background ==
Aoko has been [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]]'s best friend ever since they were young children, much like [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] in Detective Conan. Aoko currently attends Ekoda High School as a second-year student in class 2-B along with Kaito, [[Keiko Momoi|Keiko]], [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]], and [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]]. Aoko dislikes the [[Kaitou Kid]] for making a mockery of her father, [[Ginzo Nakamori]], but is unaware that Kid is actually her best friend in disguise.

== Personality ==
[[File:Aoko personality.PNG|thumb|left|Aoko declares to her father she will go on a date with Kaito to prove he isn't the Kaitou Kid.]]
Aoko has a temperamental personality, sweet and gentle at one moment, then boisterous and fiery at the next. Like her father, she is impulsive, easily riled up, and often shouts. Kaito and Kaitou Kid in particular are often the trigger for bouts of loud, violent displays. She also has a mischievous side, using Kaito's weakness for fish to get revenge on him for harassing her.

Aoko has a tendency to refer to herself in the third-person, which is considered 'cutesy' and childish in Japan. She is also shown to dress rather childishly, in skirts and cardigans when she's not in her school uniform.

Aoko is shown to be very intelligent. However, she may also have rather low self-esteem. Once, to prove that Kaito wasn't the Kid, she asked him out on date on the day of a Kid heist. Kaito, taken aback, snaps "Why would I go out with an ugly girl like you?" to which she tearfully replies "I know...but please!"<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=1|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=4|title=Kid's Busy Day|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref>

Aoko does not like being alone; she blames Kaitou Kid for stealing her father from her because she wishes her dad was at home more instead of chasing Kaitou Kid.

== Relationships analysis ==
==== Kaito Kuroba ====
[[Image:Kaito and Aoko.jpg|thumb|right|Kaito and Aoko.]]
{{main|Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori}}
[[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] and Aoko Nakamori have been best friends since they were little and first met at the clock tower. They are portrayed as a similar pairing to Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri (including how the characters are drawn), except much sillier. Kaito often teases Aoko by flipping her skirt. However, it has been seen that Kaito is quite protective of Aoko and doesn't appear to want her to go on a date with Saguru Hakuba. Aoko was somewhat suspicious that Kaito was actually Kaitou Kid, and in order to prove his innocence, she brought him along to a movie when a heist had been scheduled. She handcuffed him to the seat, but Kaito managed to escape and pull off the heist, thus veering Aoko's suspicions away from him. Although neither has admitted it as of yet, it is shown that the two have feelings for each other.

In the last chapter of ''[[Yaiba]]'' a scene set after a three years timeskip has [[Keiko Momoi]] telling [[Sayaka Mine]] that Kaito and Aoko are a couple now, while [[List of minor Magic Kaito characters#Notable minor characters|Keiko's friend]] confirms having seen them together.

==== Saguru Hakuba ====
[[Image:MK9 139.png|thumb|right|Hakuba and Aoko.]]
Prior to the heist in Volume 3, Chapter 3, [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]] seems to flirt with Aoko after Kaito turns down Aoko's offer to go to the Prince Prince concert. Hakuba and Kaito then make a bet that if Hakuba manages to catch Kid then Hakuba will go to the concert with Aoko, and if he fails to capture the thief, Kaito will go instead. When interviewed before the heist, Hakuba notes "Tonight's battle has a special meaning to me".<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Kaitou Under Scrutiny|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> Although initially excited to have Hakuba want to go to the concert with her, Aoko during the actual heist seems to want Hakuba to fail so that she can go to the concert with Kaito instead. This relationship has not been touched upon much since then because of Hakuba's limited appearances in ''Magic Kaito'' and ''Detective Conan''.

== Plot overview ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-15-18h29m28s117.png|thumb|right|Aoko hits Kaito with a mop.]]
Aoko has been friends with [[Kaito Kuroba]] since they were both small children.<ref>''Detective Conan'' [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Kudo Shinichi vs. Kaitou Kid|'''Episode 219''': The Gathering of the Detectives! Kudo Shinichi vs. Kaitou Kid (2 Hour Special)]]</ref> However, they frequently bicker and fight; she seems to be the target of many of Kaito's pranks, to which she retaliates by attempting to bludgeon him with whatever she can get her hands on (often a mop).<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=1|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=1|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref>

Aoko hates the [[Kaitou Kid]] for humiliating her father, [[Ginzo Nakamori]]. This is partly why Kaito has to go to such lengths to keep his identity hidden from her. However, Kaito has come under suspicion of being the Kaitou Kid several times. In one instance, Aoko went to great lengths to prove Kaito innocent: she asked him out on the day the heist was supposed to take place, and then during the actual time of the heist she handcuffed Kaito to her. Kaito, however, was able to escape and use a dummy to fool Aoko into thinking that he had been with her the entire time.

Aoko frequently attends Kaitou Kid heists, similar to how [[Ran Mouri]] attends many of her father's mystery cases. Kaito has not had to prove his 'innocence' to her recently, which suggests that she now 'trusts' him.

== Name origin ==
* The given name "Aoko" means "blue child" in Japanese. This contrasts with her classmate [[Akako Koizumi]]'s name, which means "red child".
* The surname "Nakamori" comes from [[wikipedia:Akina Nakamori|Akina Nakamori]].<ref>Love Conan - Meitantei Conan Official Fan Book for Girls</ref>

== Trivia ==
[[image:Aoko Holmes.jpg|thumb|right|Aoko Holmes]]
* A prototype version of Aoko appears in Gosho's "{{nihongo|[[Nonchalant Lupin]]|さりげなくルパン|Sarigenaku Rupan}}" short story. In this version, Aoko is named {{nihongo|Aoko Holmes|宝陸葵子|Hōmuzu Aoko}} and is a high school detective who started her own Detective Club.
* Aoko shares a voice actor with Conan for her appearance in Detective Conan OVA 4 and Episode 219.
* Unlike her counterparts Ran and Kazuha, it has been suggested that Aoko has a high level of intelligence at least approaching that of her 'love-interest' Kaito. In the first file of the ''Magic Kaito'' manga, the two are causing havoc in the classroom; the teacher tries to get them to focus by asking first Kaito, then Aoko to answer a complicated math problem on the board, but both answer her question with hardly a glance at the board and continue with their mayhem.

Although neither has admitted it as of yet, it is shown that the two have feelings for each other.

In the last chapter of ''[[Yaiba]]'' a scene set after a three years timeskip has [[Keiko Momoi]] telling [[Sayaka Mine]] that Kaito and Aoko are a couple now, while [[List of minor Magic Kaito characters#Notable minor characters|Keiko's friend]] confirms having seen them together.

==== Saguru Hakuba ====
[[Image:MK9 139.png|200px|thumb|right|Hakuba and Aoko.]]
Prior to the heist in Volume 3, Chapter 3, [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]] seems to flirt with Aoko after Kaito turns down Aoko's offer to go to the Prince Prince concert. Hakuba and Kaito then make a bet that if Hakuba manages to catch Kid then Hakuba will go to the concert with Aoko, and if he fails to capture the thief, Kaito will go instead. When interviewed before the heist, Hakuba notes "Tonight's battle has a special meaning to me".<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Kaitou Under Scrutiny|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> Although initially excited to have Hakuba want to go to the concert with her, Aoko during the actual heist seems to want Hakuba to fail so that she can go to the concert with Kaito instead. This relationship has not been touched upon much since then because of Hakuba's limited appearances in ''Magic Kaito'' and ''Detective Conan''.

== Plot overview ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-15-18h29m28s117.png|thumb|right|Aoko hits Kaito with a mop.]]
Aoko has been friends with [[Kaito Kuroba]] since they were both small children.<ref>''Detective Conan'' [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Kudo Shinichi vs. Kaitou Kid|'''Episode 219''': The Gathering of the Detectives! Kudo Shinichi vs. Kaitou Kid (2 Hour Special)]]</ref> However, they frequently bicker and fight; she seems to be the target of many of Kaito's pranks, to which she retaliates by attempting to bludgeon him with whatever she can get her hands on (often a mop).<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=1|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=1|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref>

Aoko hates the [[Kaitou Kid]] for humiliating her father, [[Ginzo Nakamori]]. This is partly why Kaito has to go to such lengths to keep his identity hidden from her. However, Kaito has come under suspicion of being the Kaitou Kid several times. In one instance, Aoko went to great lengths to prove Kaito innocent: she asked him out on the day the heist was supposed to take place, and then during the actual time of the heist she handcuffed Kaito to her. Kaito, however, was able to escape and use a dummy to fool Aoko into thinking that he had been with her the entire time.

Aoko frequently attends Kaitou Kid heists, similar to how [[Ran Mouri]] attends many of her father's mystery cases. Kaito has not had to prove his 'innocence' to her recently, which suggests that she now 'trusts' him.

== Name origin ==
* The given name "Aoko" means "blue child" in Japanese. This contrasts with her classmate [[Akako Koizumi]]'s name, which means "red child".

'''{{nihongo|Aoko Nakamori|中森青子|Nakamori Aoko}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Kaito Kuroba]].

== Background ==
Aoko has been [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]]'s best friend ever since they were young children, much like [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] in Detective Conan. Aoko currently attends Ekoda High School as a second-year student in class 2-B along with Kaito, [[Keiko Momoi|Keiko]], [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]], and [[Saguru Hakuba|Hakuba]]. Aoko dislikes the [[Kaitou Kid]] for making a mockery of her father, [[Ginzo Nakamori]], but is unaware that Kid is actually her best friend in disguise.

== Personality ==
[[File:Aoko personality.PNG|thumb|left|Aoko declares to her father she will go on a date with Kaito to prove he isn't the Kaitou Kid.]]
Aoko has a temperamental personality, sweet and gentle at one moment, then boisterous and fiery at the next. Like her father, she is impulsive, easily riled up, and often shouts. Kaito and Kaitou Kid in particular are often the trigger for bouts of loud, violent displays. She also has a mischievous side, using Kaito's weakness for fish to get revenge on him for harassing her.

Aoko has a tendency to refer to herself in the third-person, which is considered 'cutesy' and childish in Japan. She is also shown to dress rather childishly, in skirts and cardigans when she's not in her school uniform.

Aoko is shown to be very intelligent. However, she may also have rather low self-esteem. Once, to prove that Kaito wasn't the Kid, she asked him out on date on the day of a Kid heist. Kaito, taken aback, snaps "Why would I go out with an ugly girl like you?" to which she tearfully replies "I know...but please!"<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=1|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=4|title=Kid's Busy Day|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref>

Aoko does not like being alone; she blames Kaitou Kid for stealing her father from her because she wishes her dad was at home more instead of chasing Kaitou Kid.

{{main|Kaito Kuroba and Aoko Nakamori}}
[[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] and Aoko Nakamori have been best friends since they were little and first met at the clock tower. They are portrayed as a similar pairing to Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri (including how the characters are drawn), except much sillier. Kaito often teases Aoko by flipping her skirt. However, it has been seen that Kaito is quite protective of Aoko and doesn't appear to want her to go on a date with Saguru Hakuba. Aoko was somewhat suspicious that Kaito was actually Kaitou Kid, and in order to prove his innocence, she brought him along to a movie when a heist had been scheduled. She handcuffed him to the seat, but Kaito managed to escape and pull off the heist, thus veering Aoko's suspicions away from him. Although neither has admitted it as of yet, it is shown that the two have feelings for each other.

'''{{nihongo|Heizo Hattori|服部平蔵|Hattori Heizō}}''', known in the Funimation dub as '''Martin Hartwell''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Heizo Hattori is the highest ranking officer at the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters; he is Superintendent Supervisor (Rank 2).<ref name=PoliceRanks>Volume 10, File 3, Page 7; Chap 93; http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=6114.0</ref> Heizo is the father of the high school detective [[Heiji Hattori]], and is sometimes very supportive of his son's desire to be a detective. Heizo has sometimes lent his son a hand in solving a tough case. Though he has a hard exterior, Heizo is very caring for his son, family, and friends. At the Osaka district, he is very close with [[Goro Otaki]] and [[Ginshiro Toyama]]. It is due to his friendship with Ginshiro Toyama that his son, Heiji, originally met Toyama's daughter, [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]]. His wife is [[Shizuka Hattori]].

== Personality ==
He has a very serious attitude and seemingly cold, especially when he punched his son in front of many people hard enough for Heiji to fall down. But it was revealed later on that he merely punched Heiji for his son to be more aggressive in solving the case and using Heiji as a bait, although he apologized later on. He also is supportive of his son's career as a high school detective but also, as a caring father, he is also cares for his son's well-being.

== Skills ==
Heizo possesses a very sharp intellect and observation skills. His intelligence is on par with [[Yusaku Kudo]], given how both fathers are able to solve a case before their sons do; Heizo was able to correctly deduce the culprit in the [[The Osaka Double Mystery - The Naniwa Swordsman and Toyotomi's Castle| murder cases that involved Toyotomi's castle]]. His deduction skills were further demonstrated during a flashback, when he was able to solve case just by listening to the details on phone and give hint to Heiji. He is also the highest ranking officer at Osaka Prefectural police Headquarters, and thus has the command of many of the police officers of Osaka.

He used to practice Kendo with [[Distinguished Family%27s Consecutive Accidental Death Case#People|Dosan Nagato]], who would always beat him.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Shizuka Hattori ====
Shizuka and Heizo appear to have a good relationship. She is not intimidated by Heizo's fierce personality, and he seems to listen to her.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
Heizo seems to disapprove of Heiji's choice to be a detective. Heizo knows his son very well, however, including how Heiji would react to being forcefully told to leave a case alone — rather than obey, Heiji continues to investigate and distracts the culprits so that Heizo can surround the criminals with his police force. Heizo does care for and will protect his son, but his brusque and stoic personality leaves him unlikely to say as much, or even if he is proud of Heiji. Heiji, for his part, doesn't seem to care what Heizo thinks of him, and addresses Heizo very informally.

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

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

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

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

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

He also seems to have a strong sense of moral. In a case, there the murder mocks his girlfriend about how he was only going out with her to use her as a scapegoat for his murder, Jugo hit him in the face with his elbow and told him that if he continued he might need to 'stretch' his leg (hinting that there would be more beating).

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

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

== Name origin ==
Jugo's name comes from TV Drama [[wikipedia:ja:はぐれ刑事純情派|Stray Detective Pure-Hearted Group]] character {{nihongo|Shigetada Yokomizo|横溝重忠|''Yokomizo Shigetada''}}.

'''{{nihongo|Sango Yokomizo|横溝参悟|Yokomizo Sango}}'''<ref>In [[Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder Case]], his name was {{nihongo|'''Masafumi'''|正文|Masafumi}} and not Sango.</ref>, also known as '''Inspector Worthington''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Sango Yokomizo was originally the head inspector of the Saitama district, though he transferred to the Shizuoka district soon after. However, he and his twin brother [[Jugo Yokomizo|Jugo]], who is also a police inspector and has remained in Saitama, stay in touch and have even assisted each other in various (and even locally unrelated) cases.

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

Conan often runs into Yokomizo when he is away for a festival, or on a vacation. It is hinted that Sango is the head inspector of a richer town, as he often is involved in a case at a fancy hotel, or one of [[Sonoko Suzuki]]'s vacation spots, as well as the homes of her relatives.<ref name=Triplet>[[The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case|Episode 72: The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case]]</ref> He is also the head inspector in most cases involving a famous actor or actress,<ref name=Act>[[The Murdered Famous Detective|Episode 185-186: The Murdered Famous Detective]]</ref> and at many festivals.<ref name=Car>[[The Super Car's Trap|Episode 197-198: The Super Car's Trap]]</ref>

== Personality ==
[[Image:Inspector Yokomizo's Badge.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Inspector Yokomizo shows a suspect his badge.]]
Yokomizo is a capable police officer, though with one odious personal habit: he tends to get his face right into a suspect's face, study them closely, and scream into their face when he believes he is onto something, a habit which even he believes is a little embarrassing. Another trait of his is to speak really loudly when deeply involved in an investigation. His loud voice has received many complaints from suspects.<ref name=Spirit/>

Sango considers himself a big fan of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s work.<ref name=Festival/> Often when he sees Kogoro, his demeanor changes and he has him help him investigate a case.<ref name=Temple/> Sometimes, he even actually calls Kogoro and asks him to come with him, because there is a case that he is having a problem solving.<ref name=Times>[[The Man Who Was Killed Four Times|Episode 175: The Man Who Was Killed Four Times]]</ref> Kogoro however, sometimes puts down Sango's theories, even when it turns out Sango's intuitions are indeed the correct ones.<ref name=Car/> Kogoro does not always react the same way to seeing Sango, as Sango does to him,<ref name=Palace>[[The Water Palace of 5 Colors|Episode 210-211: The Water Palace of 5 Colors]]</ref> but he does appear to consider Sango a good friend.
[[Image:Yokomizo's Interrogation.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Inspector Yokomizo interrogates a suspect, using his usual menacing method.]]
Sango always acts very excited when he sees that Kogoro becomes "The Sleeping Kogoro".<ref name=Col/> However, Sango is more modest than Kogoro, as compared to Kogoro, who acts very excited and perverted.<ref name=Client>[[A Small Client|Episode 354-355: A Small Client]]</ref> Sango often mistakes female suspects or witnesses for Kogoro's wife.

Although he can be a menacing figure, he is shown to be a very adept investigator. He is shown in his first appearance on the show to realize who the killer is, and he is also the only one other than Conan to doubt the suspect's alibi, right down to the photographic trick the killer used to solidify their alibi.<ref name=Festival>[[Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder Case|Episode 9: Tenkaichi Night Festival Murder Case]]</ref> Conan even has Sango look at the evidence Conan has found, to accuse the killer of the murder.<ref name=Festival/> Conan also believes that Sango is a very adept and smart inspector, commenting during a case that Sango, who was the one in charge, would be a much smarter choice for figuring out the case over [[Kogoro Mouri]].<ref name=Sonoko>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> In another case, he is the only adult to believe that a murder took place instead of a suicide at a temple, but Conan, when voicing Kogoro, still chides Sango for not paying attention to the obvious clues Sango had found.<ref name=Temple>[[Bizarre! The Legend of the Five Storied Pagoda|Episode 159-160: Bizarre! The Legend of the Five Storied Pagoda]]</ref> Sango also has a big fear of ghosts, an even bigger fear of them than even [[Ran Mouri]].<ref name=Spirit>[[The Evil Spirit Appears on An Unlucky Day|Episode 415-417: The Evil Spirit Appears on An Unlucky Day]]</ref>

He also has a softer side, like when he is shown with [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and [[Conan Edogawa]] trying to comfort [[Ai Haibara]] after she breaks down to Conan, asking him why he didn't save her sister, [[Akemi Miyano]].<ref name=AiDebut>[[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|Episode 129: The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case]]</ref> He later on comes to think of Kogoro, Ran, and Conan as friends, often running to them and talking to them before anyone else if they appear at a murder case that he is investigating.<ref name=Sonoko/> Sango sometimes contacts his brother, Jugo, whenever he needs help on a suspect in a case.<ref name=Spirit /> In one episode, Jugo helps out Sango by dressing up exactly like him, to help Conan in solving a murder.<ref name=Spirit/> However, Jugo does this very reluctantly, and even tells Sango to not mention that he helped out.<ref name=Spirit/>

Unlike most other characters, Sango does not mind Conan involving himself in cases. In fact, Sango often values Conan's opinion, as well as his keen observations, often asking him if he has found any clues, much to the chagrin of Kogoro.<ref name=Baron>[[Night Baron Murder Case|Episode 68-70: Night Baron Murder Case]]</ref> Whenever Conan makes a point, or points out a clue, Kogoro immediately disregards it, while Sango is the only one who listens to Conan's points without acting in anger towards him, even taking his concerns seriously.<ref name=Col>[[The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of Colossus|Episode 208: The Entrance to the Maze: The Anger of Colossus]]</ref> It is hinted that Sango also understands the Conan is no ordinary seven-year-old boy, and very smart for his age.

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
Sango possesses extremely great admiration and respect towards Kogoro Mouri, whom he has come to idolize upon reading about his cases in a newspaper, to the point of referring the latter as "The great detective Kogoro Mouri" (which surprised even Mouri himself) at their first meeting. While Kogoro does not reciprocate the supposed closeness Sango himself believes they have, he does consider Sango a good friend regardless. Sango often mistakes any beautiful lady he sees with Kogoro at a case to be "Mrs Mouri", much to Ran's annoyance and Kogoro's delight. Sango has also sheepishly admitted to having boasted about being Kogoro's "top apprentice" at one point, after discovering that Kogoro already had an apprentice.

==== Jugo Yokomizo ====
Sango and [[Jugo Yokomizo|Jugo]] are twin brothers, with identical appearances (save their different hairstyles) to the point that many people, including Kogoro Mouri, Ran and the Detective Boys, have mistook Jugo for Sango during their first meeting. However, their personalities are directly opposite, with Jugo being harsher and more menacing while Sango having a friendlier (and also slightly less brave) character. Despite their contrasting personas, both brothers are close and have come to assist each other in some cases, setting aside their differences, though Jugo does not share and disapproves of Sango's admiration and idolization of Kogoro.

== Name origin ==
Sango Yokomizo's name comes from the mystery writer, [[Wikipedia: Seishi Yokomizo|Seishi Yokomizo]]. His given name is a homonym for {{nihongo|"coral"|珊瑚|sango}}, which along with his coral-like hairstyle results in the detective boys sometimes referencing him as "coral head". His twin Jugo's given name combines with his to make a numerical pun: {{nihongo|three|三|san}} times {{nihongo|five|五|go}} makes {{nihongo|fifteen|十五|juugo}}.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Misao is also surprised to encounter Agasa so frequently at crime scenes, and advices Conan to be exorcised of his habit of attracting crimes.

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

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

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

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

====Goro Otaki====
[[Goro Otaki|Otaki]] met Yamamura in the Vampire's Mansion case.<ref>[[Volume 79#File 836 - Ghost Photography|Volume 79, File 836: "Ghost Photography"]]</ref>

== Name origin ==

Later on in the series, Yamamura is finally promoted to an Inspector role, much to the chagrin of Conan and especially Kogoro.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[[Misae Yamamura]] is Misao Yamamura's paternal grandmother. They are very close. She lives in the Tottori prefecture, and he often talks about calling or visiting her.

'''{{nihongo|Kansuke Yamato|大和敢助|Yamato Kansuke}}''' is a police inspector from Nagano Prefecture. His direct subordinate is Detective [[Yui Uehara]]. Yamato lost his left eye in a snow avalanche and now has an X-shaped scar in its place. This same avalanche caused severe and permanent damage to his left leg, forcing him to use a forearm crutch to walk around.

== Background ==
Yamato grew up in a small Nagano village with [[Yui Uehara]]. Like most people from the village, he greatly admired police officer and town hero Kuroto Kai, who inspired him and Uehara to join the police.<ref name=Past>Manga Chapter 617: War</ref> One year before the Furinkazan Case, Yamato chased a parole jumper he believed to be involved with Kai's mysterious death into a mountain, where he got caught in the avalanche that took his left eye and leg.<ref name=Past/> He was missing and believed dead for several days until school friend [[Taka'aki Morofushi|Taka'aki "Komei" Morofushi]], also a police inspector, went against orders to track down the criminal and find Yamato.<ref name=Koumei>Manga Chapter 684: The Late Koumei</ref> After recovering, he returned to the force and resumed working on solving Kai's death. With the aid of Conan Edogawa and Heiji Hattori the case was finally resolved, and soon afterwards Uehara rejoined the police force as his partner.<ref name=Past/>

== Personality ==
In contrast to other police inspectors like [[Juzo Megure|Megure]], [[Sango Yokomizo]], and [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]], Yamato is shown to be very serious and hard-boiled. He is often short-tempered and has been known to yell at and intimidate suspects.<ref>Manga Chapter 613: Centipede</ref> This aspect of his personality causes him to become quite visibly annoyed with [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s ignorance<ref name=Hand>Manga Chapter 683: In The Hand</ref> and Yamamura's goofiness.<ref>[[The Raven Chaser|'''Movie 13''': The Raven Chaser]]</ref> Still, he does have softer spots, though he does not show them often, and there are hints that he is both aware and accepting of Uehara's affection towards him.

Yamato does have a petty rivalry with fellow police detective Koumei, often competing with him to see who can solve a case first.<ref name=RedWall>Manga Volume 65-66: Files 682-686 (Red Wall Case)</ref> Despite this, they remain very close friends, and Yamato was even willing to run into a burning mansion to save him at one point.<ref name=Fire>Manga Chapter 685: Make Friends Quickly</ref> Yamato is also aware of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s intelligence and is one of few characters who treats him like an adult and equal.<ref name=Fire/>

==== Yui Uehara ====
Kansuke Yamato cares very deeply for his subordinate and childhood friend [[Yui Uehara]]. He was upset over her leaving the force and tried to distance himself from her,<ref>Manga Chapter 616: Furinkazan</ref> but had no problem allowing her back on the force.<ref name=Uehara>Manga Chapter 618: Shadow and Lightning</ref> Uehara in return cares for him and even seems to have feeling for him,<ref name=Past/><ref name=Uehara/> affectionatley referring to him as Kan-chan, which he always scolds her for doing.<ref name=RedWall/>

==== Taka'aki Morofushi ====
The two are childhood friends who went to the same primary and high school as each other. Both have also become inspectors of a police headquarters. In the past, when Yamato was thought to be dead, Morofushi went against his boss' orders and went to look for him. Afterwards, Yamato was found and in the hospital while Morofushi himself got put down into the local police headquarters. This is to show even if Morofushi loses his position in the main headquarters, he will definite be willing to go and save his friend. Even now, they still remain as best friends and even compete with each other to see who can solve cases first. Yamato also on the other hand will go and help his friend out. This is shown by how he would go into a burning mansion to save him. Their friendship and rivalry can be considered similar to that of Heiji and Shinichi's, with Heiji being hot-tempered impatient Yamato and Shinichi being well-mannered calm Morofushi.

== Name origin ==
Yamato's name comes from '''{{nihongo|[[Wikipedia: Yamamoto Kansuke|Yamamoto Kansuke]]|山本勘助}}''', the strategist of [[Wikipedia: Takeda Shingen|Takeda Shingen]], the famous [[Wikipedia: daimyo|daimyo]] who used "Fūrinkazan" as his battle slogan. This is even pointed out by Conan during the Red Wall Case.<ref>Manga Chapter 682: The Red Wall</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Yui Uehara|上原由衣|Uehara Yui}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Yui Uehara and [[Kansuke Yamato]] grew up together in a village in the Nagano prefecture. One day, the popular village policeman and kyujitsu master Kuroto Kai died under mysterious circumstances, prompting Yui and Kansuke, who had joined the police force following his example, to investigate the case. When Kansuke was critically injured and believed lost in an unrelated case (thus gaining him his damaged leg and his trademark scarred eye), Yui decided to carry on the investigation by herself, quitting the police force and marrying into one of the families she suspected of having murdered Kai.

Despite spending a year in the household, the case was resolved only when another string of mysterious murders occurred (with her husband Yoshiro Torada winding up as the first victim) and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] were called up to solve them.<ref name=Furinkazan>Manga Volume 59: Files 613-618 (Furinkazan Case)</ref> Soon after the resolution of the case, Yui rejoined the police force.<ref name=DangerousCouple>Manga Volume 65: Files 680-681 (Dangerous Couple Case)</ref>

== Personality ==
Yui is a friendly and considerate person, which offsets Yamato's harsh appearance and behavior, complementing the two so different personalities. It is frequently hinted by her behavior that she is in love with him, but his professionalism has as yet prevented any serious personal engagement, although Yamato himself seems not reluctant to it.

Yui, just like Yamato, is very aware of Conan's intelligence, telling Conan about how Yamato believes that he is more intelligent than [[Kogoro Mouri]], sneakily trying to get Conan involved in investigating the crime.<ref name=UehCon>[[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|Episodes 558-561: The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall]]</ref>

Her last name, Uehara, comes from Uehara castle, the main stronghold of the Suwa clan.

'''{{nihongo|Saguru Hakuba|白馬探|Hakuba Saguru}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', who has made multiple appearances in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Hakuba is another teenage detective, just like [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Heiji Hattori]]. However, he does a lot of his work in England, as well as Japan, and claims to have handled more cases than Heiji. In the Magic Kaito manga and 1412 anime franchise, his main goal is to capture the master thief, [[Kaitou Kid]] but in the Magic Kaito anime specials franchise, Hakuba's main goal is to capture the assassin, [[Spider]] and using Kaitou Kid as a bait.

== Personality ==
[[File:Hakuba as Sherlock Holmes.jpg|thumb|left|Saguru Hakuba as Sherlock Holmes.]]
As a detective, Hakuba takes great interest in learning culprit's motives, asking "How come you did that?" Hakuba also pays a great deal of attention to time, carrying a pocket watch that only loses 0.001 seconds per year. In cases, Hakuba tends to note the time to the second. He is even more extreme in his earliest appearances; he notes during the ''Adam's Smile'' painting heist that Kaitou Kid is a minute and 13.02 seconds late.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=The Great Detective Appears!!|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=}}</ref> During his first appearances in Magic Kaito, Hakuba is seen often wearing an Inverness cape and a deerstalker, much like the stereotypical portrait of [[Sherlock Holmes]]. In later appearances he has given up this look opting for a suit instead.

His speech is usually formal and polite, like his attire; for example, he uses the more humble pronoun 'boku' to refer to himself during the Detective Koushien case, while Heiji uses 'ore,' which is a cockier and less polite way of referring to oneself. However, Hakuba displays a distinct sense of arrogance himself, particularly during his earlier appearances. He displays an arrogant assurance in his ability to capture the [[Kaitou Kid]], and conveys a superior attitude towards Inspector Nakamori's men in volume 3 of [[Magic Kaito]]. In the Detective Koushien case in Detective Conan, he frequently mocked Heiji, calling him rash and hotheaded and repeatedly expressed his disappointment in Heiji's seeming incompetence, and despite being clearly defeated by Heiji's deduction, he showed no such regrets or humility. Kaito describes his tone as sugary yet obnoxious.<ref>Magic Kaito Volume 4, File 5, pg 5: "Golden Eye 1"</ref>.

Hakuba also appears to be something of a flirt. He kissed Aoko's hand and tried to sweet-talk her into going on a date with him, <ref name="Vol3Chp3" /> And during the Detective Koushien he was particularly attentive to the [[Natsuki Koshimizu|female detective]] present, even promising that he would "solve the case for her." However, it's possible that in both of those cases his actions were at least partly intended to irritate Kaito and Heiji, respectively.

== Appearance and Skills ==
Saguru Hakuba has brown-blonde hair; his eye color is usually blue in the manga, but brown in the anime. According to Hakuba's own introduction to [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]], Hakuba is 180 cm tall (5'11"), weighs 65 kg (143 lbs), was born on August 29th under the Virgo zodiac, and is blood type 'A'.<ref name="Vol3Chp3">{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Kaitou Under Scrutiny|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref>

In the Twilight Mansion case, he showed himself to be skilled at billiards, and to have at least basic knowledge of falconry.

He also seems to have an eidetic memory, just as Shinichi, Heiji and Kaito have proven themselves to have, and is capable of remembering long strings of data, particularly (in Hakuba's case) precise times down to the millisecond.

== Plot overview ==
''Main Article: [[Saguru Hakuba Appearances]]''

=== In Magic Kaito ===
[[File:MK9 16.png|thumb|right|Hakuba plans to confront Kaito Kid.]]
Prior to arriving in Japan, Hakuba spent time as a detective in England and attended London Bridge High School. According to Hakuba's father, Saguru is most interested in meeting the infamous [[Kaitou Kid]] and is taken to the ''Adam's Smile'' painting heist. Hakuba fails to capture Kid but begins collecting clues as to Kid's true identity.

In the anime special adaptation of Hakuba's introduction, [[The Splendid Rivals]], the circumstances of Hakuba's and Kaito's meeting have been altered. The target is a purple gem in the eye of the ''Bronze Statue''. It is revealed that Hakuba has no interest in capturing Kaitou Kid, but rather, [[Spider]] who is part of the mysterious organization that Kaito is after. Hakuba humiliates the police and he figures out where Kaitou Kid was hiding. He nearly captures the thief with sleeping gas, but Kaitou Kid takes his gas mask so Hakuba is taken down by his own trick. Kaitou Kid then disguises as Hakuba to get close to the gem, but the scheme is quickly figured out when the police finds Hakuba's sleeping body. Later, Hakuba forces himself to wake up when Kaitou Kid is caught in Spider's illusion. Hakuba saves him by spraying him with water. After both Spider and Kaitou Kid escape, Hakuba falls asleep once more. Much to Kaito's dismay, Hakuba transfers into Ekoda High School Class 2-B and continues his mission to unmask Kid. He is now the classmate of [[Kaito Kuroba]], [[Aoko Nakamori]], [[Akako Koizumi]], and [[Keiko Momoi]].

In the special [[The Secret of the Red Tear]] Hakuba appears briefly in class, reading a book that mentions Spider. He is shocked by Akako's beauty and is seen blushing.

Although Magic Kaito is no longer frequently continued, Hakuba has made several appearances in the cases that have come out alongside Detective Conan. He telephoned Kaito from Paris to give him information on the thief known as Chat Noir, and also appeared in the Dark Knight arc, where he arrived too late to stop Kid's theft but correctly deduced his methods and kept up with Kaito in uncovering the identity of the mysterious 'Nightmare.'

=== In Detective Conan ===
Saguru Hakuba's first appearance in Detective Conan was in the Twilight Palace case, where he was one of six detectives invited to investigate a murder that had been committed 40 years ago in an old mansion. During the case it is revealed Hakuba has a pet hawk named Watson whom he got in England. <ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|date=2009-07-21|isbn=1-4215-2198-9|title=Case Closed|volume=Volume 30|publisher=Viz Media|chapter=File 4: Condemnation|language=English|location=San Francisco|page=67}}</ref>
[[image:479 Heiji and Saguru.JPG|right|thumb|Heiji and Saguru didn't get along during the Detective Koushien.]]
His second, and only other canonical appearance, was in the [[Volume 54#Detective Koshien Case|Detective Koshien Case]]. Although he initially believed that he was to represent the 'east' in a contest between four high school detectives, in fact the competition had been arranged by a woman seeking a detective 'with a strange accent' who had incorrectly accused her friend of committing a murder. Thinking that Hakuba's Japanese might be accented due to his time in Britain, she invited him, as well as [[Heiji Hattori]], who is well known for his strong Kansai accent.

During the Detective Koshien case, it was stated that Hakuba had returned to England sometime before the case, and had returned to Japan specifically to compete in the Koshien, thus explaining his absence from the Kaitou Kid heists in Detective Conan.
[[File:Hawk Watson.jpg|thumb|left|Saguru Hakuba's pet hawk Watson.]]
Hakuba appeared in [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|'''Episode 219''': The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid (2 Hour Special)]]. During the Kid case, set some time before [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was shrunk, Kaito thinks to himself that the heist will be much easier without Hakuba around, as he has apparently returned to England. Kid was therefore not expecting a challenge, so when the officers trick him into revealing himself and successfully locate him in the ventilation shafts, Kid wonders aloud who, if not Hakuba, could be helping the police.

Hakuba also made a cameo of sorts in the tenth Detective Conan movie, ''[[The Private Eyes' Requiem]]''. Claiming that someone dear to him had been captured by the theme park, he assisted Conan and Heiji in their investigations that day but later disappeared after they were separated by attackers. It is later revealed that 'Hakuba' was actually Kaitou Kid in disguise.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
{{main|Hakuba Family}}
Hakuba's father is the Metropolitan Police chief in Japan. His mother is British. His family also apparently runs a research laboratory in Japan. His father appeared only once in Magic Kaito, when he asked [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] to look after Hakuba.

In subsequent appearances in both manga series, Hakuba's sole caretaker seems to be a [[Saguru's Housekeeper|housekeeper]] whom he refers to as 'baya'<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 4|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Dark Knight (Part 1)|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=}}</ref> or 'governess' in the English translation.<ref name="Twilight">{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|date=2009-07-21|isbn=1-4215-2198-9|title=Case Closed|volume=Volume 30|publisher=Viz Media|chapter=File 6: Murder|language=English|location=San Francisco|page=96}}</ref>

==== Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou Kid ====
[[File:MK9 166.png|thumb|left|Hakuba confronts Kaito.]]
The relationship between Hakuba and [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]] is a rather tense one; Hakuba convinced himself early on that Kaito was indeed Kid, and during the first few volumes he's constantly throwing out offhand comments that show his suspicion. However, later on in the manga, we have a small scene where Hakuba calls Kaito from Paris in order to give him some information on 'Chat Noir', a dangerous, fellow gem thief trying to outshine Kid.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 4|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Golden Eye Part 1|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=18}}</ref> Though Kaito continues to vehemently deny being Kid, Hakuba gives him the information anyways, ending the conversation with, "Do your best at least. I don't want to see you lose to anyone before I capture you myself". Whether that was his actual motive, or if he was merely concerned for Kaito's well being, or a mix of both, is unknown.

==== Aoko Nakamori ====
[[File:MK9 139.png|thumb|right|Hakuba and Aoko.]]
Prior to the heist in Volume 3, Chapter 3, Hakuba seems to flirt with [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]] after Kaito turns down Aoko's offer to go to the Prince Prince concert. Hakuba and Kaito then make a bet that if Hakuba manages to catch Kid then Hakuba will go to the concert with Aoko, and if he fails to capture the thief, Kaito will go instead. When interviewed before the heist, Hakuba notes "Tonight's battle has a special meaning to me".<ref name="Vol3Chp3"/> However, Hakuba seems to only be doing this to irritate Kaito, and although initially surprised to have Hakuba want to go to the concert with her, Aoko wants Hakuba to fail during the heist so she can go with Kaito instead.

==== Akako Koizumi ====
In [[The Secret of the Red Tear]], Hakuba is shown blushing at [[Akako Koizumi|Akako]]'s beauty. Aoko notices and teases him, which he quickly tries to deny. Akako looks delighted. Also in [[The Witch, the Detective, and the Phantom Thief]], Hakuba is shown blushing when Akako comes and drags Kaito away and he thinks that she is out of his league.

=== Other ===
==== Ginzo Nakamori ====
Despite Inspector Nakamori's years of experience with Kaitou Kid heists, Hakuba displays little respect towards him. He is quick to point out that the Inspector has amassed little concrete data on Kaitou Kid over the years, and will not hesitate to order the Inspector and his men around despite technically having no authority to do so.

==== Spider ====
Hakuba and [[Spider]] are both enemies.

== 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. Hakuba placed 10th in the poll with 57 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

In honor of the release of the 15th movie, [[Quarter of Silence]], the official Conan movie website held a popularity poll for the top 10 Detective Conan characters. Hakuba placed 9th out of 10.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.conan-movie.jp/camp_chara/camp15th_res.html|title=名探偵コナン「キャラクター人気投票」|date=2011|publisher=www.conan-movie.jp|accessdate=2011-08-12}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
The kanji reading for 探 (Saguru) means "to search" and the reading for 白馬 (Hakuba) means "white horse". Like most Magic Kaito main characters, the name references a color; in this case Hakuba's white opposes [[Kaito_Kuroba#Name_origin|Kuroba's black]]. As a nod to the family name, the Hakuba family seems to use the horse as its emblem. Saguru has a horse on his pocket-watch and the Hakuba laboratory has a horse on its facade as well. His name may also be a homage to Sherlock Holmes, as their names share the same initials.

'''{{nihongo|Saguru Hakuba|白馬探|Hakuba Saguru}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', who has made multiple appearances in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Hakuba is another teenage detective, just like [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Heiji Hattori]]. However, he does a lot of his work in England, as well as Japan, and claims to have handled more cases than Heiji. In the Magic Kaito manga and 1412 anime franchise, his main goal is to capture the master thief, [[Kaitou Kid]] but in the Magic Kaito anime specials franchise, Hakuba's main goal is to capture the assassin, [[Spider]] and using Kaitou Kid as a bait.

== Personality ==
[[File:Hakuba as Sherlock Holmes.jpg|thumb|left|Saguru Hakuba as Sherlock Holmes.]]
As a detective, Hakuba takes great interest in learning culprit's motives, asking "How come you did that?" Hakuba also pays a great deal of attention to time, carrying a pocket watch that only loses 0.001 seconds per year. In cases, Hakuba tends to note the time to the second. He is even more extreme in his earliest appearances; he notes during the ''Adam's Smile'' painting heist that Kaitou Kid is a minute and 13.02 seconds late.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=The Great Detective Appears!!|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=}}</ref> During his first appearances in Magic Kaito, Hakuba is seen often wearing an Inverness cape and a deerstalker, much like the stereotypical portrait of [[Sherlock Holmes]]. In later appearances he has given up this look opting for a suit instead.

His speech is usually formal and polite, like his attire; for example, he uses the more humble pronoun 'boku' to refer to himself during the Detective Koushien case, while Heiji uses 'ore,' which is a cockier and less polite way of referring to oneself. However, Hakuba displays a distinct sense of arrogance himself, particularly during his earlier appearances. He displays an arrogant assurance in his ability to capture the [[Kaitou Kid]], and conveys a superior attitude towards Inspector Nakamori's men in volume 3 of [[Magic Kaito]]. In the Detective Koushien case in Detective Conan, he frequently mocked Heiji, calling him rash and hotheaded and repeatedly expressed his disappointment in Heiji's seeming incompetence, and despite being clearly defeated by Heiji's deduction, he showed no such regrets or humility. Kaito describes his tone as sugary yet obnoxious.<ref>Magic Kaito Volume 4, File 5, pg 5: "Golden Eye 1"</ref>.

Hakuba also appears to be something of a flirt. He kissed Aoko's hand and tried to sweet-talk her into going on a date with him, <ref name="Vol3Chp3" /> And during the Detective Koushien he was particularly attentive to the [[Natsuki Koshimizu|female detective]] present, even promising that he would "solve the case for her." However, it's possible that in both of those cases his actions were at least partly intended to irritate Kaito and Heiji, respectively.

== Appearance and Skills ==
Saguru Hakuba has brown-blonde hair; his eye color is usually blue in the manga, but brown in the anime. According to Hakuba's own introduction to [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]], Hakuba is 180 cm tall (5'11"), weighs 65 kg (143 lbs), was born on August 29th under the Virgo zodiac, and is blood type 'A'.<ref name="Vol3Chp3">{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 3|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Kaitou Under Scrutiny|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref>

In the Twilight Mansion case, he showed himself to be skilled at billiards, and to have at least basic knowledge of falconry.

He also seems to have an eidetic memory, just as Shinichi, Heiji and Kaito have proven themselves to have, and is capable of remembering long strings of data, particularly (in Hakuba's case) precise times down to the millisecond.

== Plot overview ==
''Main Article: [[Saguru Hakuba Appearances]]''

=== In Magic Kaito ===
[[File:MK9 16.png|thumb|right|Hakuba plans to confront Kaito Kid.]]
Prior to arriving in Japan, Hakuba spent time as a detective in England and attended London Bridge High School. According to Hakuba's father, Saguru is most interested in meeting the infamous [[Kaitou Kid]] and is taken to the ''Adam's Smile'' painting heist. Hakuba fails to capture Kid but begins collecting clues as to Kid's true identity.

In the anime special adaptation of Hakuba's introduction, [[The Splendid Rivals]], the circumstances of Hakuba's and Kaito's meeting have been altered. The target is a purple gem in the eye of the ''Bronze Statue''. It is revealed that Hakuba has no interest in capturing Kaitou Kid, but rather, [[Spider]] who is part of the mysterious organization that Kaito is after. Hakuba humiliates the police and he figures out where Kaitou Kid was hiding. He nearly captures the thief with sleeping gas, but Kaitou Kid takes his gas mask so Hakuba is taken down by his own trick. Kaitou Kid then disguises as Hakuba to get close to the gem, but the scheme is quickly figured out when the police finds Hakuba's sleeping body. Later, Hakuba forces himself to wake up when Kaitou Kid is caught in Spider's illusion. Hakuba saves him by spraying him with water. After both Spider and Kaitou Kid escape, Hakuba falls asleep once more. Much to Kaito's dismay, Hakuba transfers into Ekoda High School Class 2-B and continues his mission to unmask Kid. He is now the classmate of [[Kaito Kuroba]], [[Aoko Nakamori]], [[Akako Koizumi]], and [[Keiko Momoi]].

In the special [[The Secret of the Red Tear]] Hakuba appears briefly in class, reading a book that mentions Spider. He is shocked by Akako's beauty and is seen blushing.

Although Magic Kaito is no longer frequently continued, Hakuba has made several appearances in the cases that have come out alongside Detective Conan. He telephoned Kaito from Paris to give him information on the thief known as Chat Noir, and also appeared in the Dark Knight arc, where he arrived too late to stop Kid's theft but correctly deduced his methods and kept up with Kaito in uncovering the identity of the mysterious 'Nightmare.'

=== In Detective Conan ===
Saguru Hakuba's first appearance in Detective Conan was in the Twilight Palace case, where he was one of six detectives invited to investigate a murder that had been committed 40 years ago in an old mansion. During the case it is revealed Hakuba has a pet hawk named Watson whom he got in England. <ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|date=2009-07-21|isbn=1-4215-2198-9|title=Case Closed|volume=Volume 30|publisher=Viz Media|chapter=File 4: Condemnation|language=English|location=San Francisco|page=67}}</ref>
[[image:479 Heiji and Saguru.JPG|right|thumb|Heiji and Saguru didn't get along during the Detective Koushien.]]
His second, and only other canonical appearance, was in the [[Volume 54#Detective Koshien Case|Detective Koshien Case]]. Although he initially believed that he was to represent the 'east' in a contest between four high school detectives, in fact the competition had been arranged by a woman seeking a detective 'with a strange accent' who had incorrectly accused her friend of committing a murder. Thinking that Hakuba's Japanese might be accented due to his time in Britain, she invited him, as well as [[Heiji Hattori]], who is well known for his strong Kansai accent.

During the Detective Koshien case, it was stated that Hakuba had returned to England sometime before the case, and had returned to Japan specifically to compete in the Koshien, thus explaining his absence from the Kaitou Kid heists in Detective Conan.
[[File:Hawk Watson.jpg|thumb|left|Saguru Hakuba's pet hawk Watson.]]
Hakuba appeared in [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|'''Episode 219''': The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid (2 Hour Special)]]. During the Kid case, set some time before [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was shrunk, Kaito thinks to himself that the heist will be much easier without Hakuba around, as he has apparently returned to England. Kid was therefore not expecting a challenge, so when the officers trick him into revealing himself and successfully locate him in the ventilation shafts, Kid wonders aloud who, if not Hakuba, could be helping the police.

Hakuba also made a cameo of sorts in the tenth Detective Conan movie, ''[[The Private Eyes' Requiem]]''. Claiming that someone dear to him had been captured by the theme park, he assisted Conan and Heiji in their investigations that day but later disappeared after they were separated by attackers. It is later revealed that 'Hakuba' was actually Kaitou Kid in disguise.

Hakuba's father is the Metropolitan Police chief in Japan. His mother is British. His family also apparently runs a research laboratory in Japan. His father appeared only once in Magic Kaito, when he asked [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]] to look after Hakuba.

In subsequent appearances in both manga series, Hakuba's sole caretaker seems to be a [[Saguru's Housekeeper|housekeeper]] whom he refers to as 'baya'<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=Volume 4|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1994-10-15|isbn=4-09-122093-5|chapter=Dark Knight (Part 1)|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=}}</ref> or 'governess' in the English translation.<ref name="Twilight">{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|date=2009-07-21|isbn=1-4215-2198-9|title=Case Closed|volume=Volume 30|publisher=Viz Media|chapter=File 6: Murder|language=English|location=San Francisco|page=96}}</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Toichi Kuroba|黒羽盗一|Kuroba Tōichi}}''' is [[Kaito Kuroba]]'s father, a world-renowned magician, and the original [[Kaitou Kid]].

== Background ==
Toichi's first heist was how he first met his wife. It involved him wearing an outfit that was in homage for the great Arsène Lupin for his next magic show. Toichi saved Chikage which is how they fell in love. When people saw it, Toichi automatically knew the outfit was going to be his costume.

Toichi as Kid was the greatest jewel thief in Japan as well as the best stage magician in Japan until he was murdered in a fake magic accident. Sometime prior to his death, Toichi had his attendant and friend [[Konosuke Jii]] promise him that he would never tell Kaito about his thieving.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=1|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1988-05-15|isbn=4-09-122081-9|chapter=The Revived Phantom Thief|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=35}}</ref> In the manga [[Chikage Kuroba|Kaito's mother]] was aware of her husband's double life and is aware that Kaito discovered Toichi's secret room within their household.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=1|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1988-05-15|isbn=4-09-122081-9|chapter=The Revived Phantom Thief|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo|page=20}}</ref>

It was implied in Magic Kaito that Toichi's magic teacher was world-renowned British magician James Hopper, whose granddaughter Kaito defended against [[Snake]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Magic Kaito|volume=4|chapter=2|language=Japanese}}(Red Tear)</ref>

== Personality ==
Toichi seems to have a playful atmosphere about himself, like his son [[Kaito Kuroba]], as demonstrated by his amusing magic tricks to delight his audience.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Kaito Kuroba ====
Kaito Kuroba is the son of Toichi Kuroba. His father died under mysterious circumstances when Kaito was only nine years old. Eight years later, Kaito discovers that his father was the internationally famous thief, Kaitou Kid. Kaito then takes his father's place as the second Kaitou Kid, without the knowledge of the local police department.

==== Konosuke Jii ====
[[Konosuke Jii|Jii]] is Toichi's loyal friend and assistant.

==== Chikage Kuroba ====
Toichi's wife, Chikage, was a former thief who he met by chance. Toichi became a thief to redirect the police's attention away from Phantom Lady so that she could live normally. They have a child, Kuroba Kaito.

==== Yusaku Kudo ====
Toichi seems to have had a friendly rivalry with [[Yusaku Kudo]], as Yusaku successfully stopped one of Toichi's jewelery heists and then ''gave'' Toichi the "Kaitou Kid" name when he purposely misread a "1412" a news reporter had scribbled down. Toichi daringly sent a letter as the Kaitou Kid to Yusaku once with only a question mark on it, questioning whether Yusaku would be able to stop him again. (Yusaku replies with an exclaimation mark, meaning that yes, he will.)

==== Yukiko Kudo ====
It is subtly implied that Toichi is the very man who taught Yusaku's wife [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] and [[Sharon Vineyard]] the finer art of disguise. This theory is given credibility by the intricateness of Kaitou Kid's disguises, the secrets of which he has inherited from his father. However, Yukiko remains ignorant about Toichi's true identity and his actual relationship with her husband. Also she called him one of her seven knights.<ref>Manga Chapter 573: Setting Sun</ref>

==== Shinichi Kudo ====
Despite the fact [[Toichi Kuroba|Toichi]] and Shinichi only met once prior to Toichi's death, it's worth mentioning Toichi referred to Shinichi as his "older brother" and himself as the "younger brother". This is because of Yusaku, Shinichi's father, being the '''father''' of the name of Kaitou '''Kid''', Toichi's secret identity.

== Plot overview ==
[[Image:473 BABY KAITO 5.JPG|left|thumb|Toichi and his young son Kaito, as they appeared in a flashback in episode 473.]]
Having died eight years before the start of the Magic Kaito manga, Toichi has not played an active role in the plot. However, he still has a posthumous influence on his son Kaito, whose stated reason for dressing as the Kaitou Kid is to find the men who killed his father. Kaito later unearths that his father was killed by [[Snake]] over a mysterious jewel known as the [[Pandora Gem]].

=== Magic Lover's Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 20|192-196]], Anime: [[Magic Lover's Murder Case|132-134]]) ===
Thought not seen during this case, Toichi was mentioned by Yoshinori Ara as his favorite japanese magician, when Katsuki Doito (disguised as Kaitou Kid) agreed with him.

=== Shinichi Kudo's New York Case (Manga: [[Volume 34|350-354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]]) ===
Thought not seen during this case, Toichi was mentioned by [[Yukiko Kudo]] that he had taught her and Sharon disguise techniques.

=== Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure (Manga: [[Volume 55|570-573]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure|472-473]]) ===
Toichi appeared in a flashback episode of Detective Conan, where he challenges his "older brother" Shinichi to a treasure hunt. Toichi gives the challenge to Shinichi thinking his father [[Yusaku Kudo]] will read it after Shinichi finds it too difficult. At the end of episode 473 it was revealed that he had instructed Yukiko in disguises and that Yusaku replied to his challenge with a single exclamation mark, indicating that they were semi-friendly rivals and Yusaku knows his identity.

== Magic Kaito 1412 Plot Overview ==

== Speculation ==
=== Toichi is alive as Kaitou Corbeau ===
Some fans believe that Toichi Kuroba has faked his death somehow and revived as the phantom thief from Las Vegas, [[Kaitou Corbeau]]. Kaitou Corbeau's face looks exactly like Toichi's, and his voice sounds exactly like Toichi's.

=== Kaitou Corbeau is not Toichi ===
Other fans believe that [[Kaitou Corbeau]] is not Toichi and that Corbeau is a master of disguise who wears a Toichi mask and mimicks Toichi's voice; this is what Corbeau tells Kid. The fake Toichi is part of Chikage's plan to convince her son to leave his dangerous night job as [[Kaitou Kid]] and let her and her assistants take over luring out the [[Magic Kaito Organization]].

== Name origin ==
The characters in Kuroba (黒羽) mean "black feather" and one of the characters in Toichi (盗) means thief.

== Quotes ==
{{col-begin}}
{{col-2}}
{{quote|Kaito, I’m going to teach you the secret of being a magician. To begin with, do you know what the most important thing for a magician is?}}

{{quote|Before you do a trick, you must never explain what’s going to happen. That’s one of the principles of magic, as laid out by the great Thurston.}}

{{quote|Magic tricks and magic spells can both be considered "magic", but they're completely different.}}

{{quote|As the famous magician, Al Baker once said, "Don’t run away before they chase you". If given a chance, the audience will begin to doubt us magicians. However, if you fear their gaze, you’ll definitely make a mistake. A first-rate magician never fears being scrutinized. You can trust in your own ability.}}

{{quote|Kaito, in order to continue being a magician, there is something you must never forget. That is a child’s heart. By the time you realize that, you’ll be an adult.}}

{{quote|When you’re unsure about which way to take a trick, the greatest tool at your disposal is reverse psychology. A magician must always outwit his audience. If you get stuck on an idea, then you’ll just have to take it in the opposite direction.}}
{{col-2}}
{{quote|Challenging hecklers who interfere with your magic are always a pain to deal with. Thinking you’ll floor them right away is the height of foolishness. Magic is not a battle. It’s something that entertains many people. You can divide challenging audience members into two groups. The first type wants to stand out more than the magician. All you can do to deal with that sort of person is silence them. And then there’s a type that is so curious, they can’t stand not knowing the trick, even if it means interfering with the magic. For them, don’t be bound by theory, but intoxicate them with a display of brilliant magic that verges on the impossible...If you can do that, your troublesome heckler will turn into an ardent fan. This is how a true magician ought to be.}}

{{quote|Kaito...Finally, I’ll just say this to you once more. Remember it well. When you come in contact with the audience, it’s the scene of a duel. Never be arrogant. Never underestimate them. See into their minds. Give undivided concentration to your fingertips. Use every trick you know. On top that, never lose your smile or dignity. And at all times...remember your poker face.}}

{{quote|When a performer continues to have strong conviction, true showmanship lies within.}}

{{quote|At the very end, I want to leave you with these words. If you can imagine it, you can create it. The words of a great magician describing his attitude when he comes up with a new trick. This also applies to an entertainer who aims to reach even higher heights. And with your conviction, if you aim for something, I have faith that you’ll reach it.}}
{{col-end}}

== Trivia ==
* When Toichi meets Shinichi and Ran in [[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure]], he's seen reading Arsène Lupin: Gentleman Burglar by Maurice LeBlanc.
* His crimes have totaled 134. Fifteen have occurred overseas, including in America, France, and Germany, bringing the number of affected countries to at least 12. The number of Jewels stolen has reached 152, with damages estimated at 3,872,500,000 yen.

'''{{nihongo|Keiko Momoi|桃井恵子|Momoi Keiko}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchises ''[[Yaiba]]'' and ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Keiko appears to be a close friend of [[Aoko Nakamori]], possibly her best friend after [[Kaito Kuroba]]. It is not stated how long the girls have known each other. In the plot of Magic Kaito, Keiko often serves the same purpose that [[Sonoko Suzuki]] does to [[Ran Mouri]]: that of friend and foil to the female main character.

She attends Ekoda High along with [[Aoko Nakamori|Aoko]], [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]], [[Akako Koizumi]], and [[Saguru Hakuba]].

== Personality ==
Although comparable to Sonoko, Keiko appears to have a far less abrasive personality. She is an avid Kaitou Kid fan, but knows better than to advertise this in front of Aoko.

== Plot overview ==
Although Keiko often appears in Magic Kaito, she never appears in the Detective Conan manga, while she appears only once in the anime, in the first part of episode 219 which is adapted from the Magic Kaito manga.

Keiko is also a recurring character in [[Yaiba]], and in the last chapter of that manga a scene set after a three years timeskip has her telling [[Sayaka Mine]] that Kuroba and Nakamori are a couple now, while [[List of minor Magic Kaito characters#Notable minor characters|Keiko's friend]] confirms having seen them together.

'''{{nihongo|Sakurako Yonehara|米原桜子|Yonehara Sakurako}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Sakurako Yonehara, age 23, works as a housekeeper. She is a childhood friend of [[Naeko Miike]] and [[Kazunobu Chiba]] from their neighbourhood, and at one class level below them in school. She was especially close to Naeko, from whom she sought protection when things got tough for her.<ref name=YumiLoveStory>[[Volume 80#Yumi's Love Story|Manga Volume 80: Files 847 & 848 (Yumi's Love Story)]]</ref>

During a suspect interrogation, Yoshimi Satake revealed that Sakurako's mother, who had been the housekeeper of the Wakamatsu household, suddenly died of an illness and left Sakurako without any means. As a result, the master of the Wakamatsu house took her in as his own child, paid for her tuition, and later employed her as a housekeeper as well.<ref name=E-Y-EIllusion>[[Volume 74#E-Y-E Illusion Case|Manga Volume 74: Files 784 (E-Y-E Illusion Case)]]</ref> After the death of both of the Wakamatsu parents, Sakurako began to work for an agency as a housekeeper for hire.

== Personality ==
Sakurako has a habit of speaking her opinions out loud. When involved in a criminal case, she appears to think that most people are innocent and has turned down theories to the contrary, thinking that the evidence just made it seem like the person was guilty. She has noticed Conan acts differently when speaking to adults than to friends. Since she has lost three employers in succession, she is of the opinion that she is suffering from some kind of curse.

[[File:Important Scene Case 227.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Sakurako bursts into the room carrying a tray of black tea.]]
Picking up where the previous case left off, [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] tell [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]], and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] about a case they encountered where a body mysteriously disappeared, but three letters remained E-Y-E written on the tiles. This lead them to visiting the Wakamatsu household. There they encounter the family, several company workers, and the housekeeper (Sakurako Yonehara). Sakurako was a witness to the murder of Kohei Wakamatsu in a different house and remembered seeing letters written in English on the tiles. While eating, the son of the family suddenly dies and Sakurako, as well as Yoshimi Satake, become the prime suspects. Heiji accuses Sakurako due to her knowing the son's eating habits. During a later discussion of the company owned by Kohei Wakamatsu, Sakurako breaks the conversation saying that they should be more focused on the son's death and that all of them alienated him. Conan asks her to try to remember more about the previous murder and she recalls the English letter "S" which just happens to appear in all of the suspects names. She then draws Conan and Heiji's attention to the bathroom of the house they are in, which mimics the bathroom tile design from the second house. A call from [[Kansuke Yamato]], reveals that the second house's English letters spell out "S-O-N". Sakurako then points out to Conan that his manner of speaking in front of adults is different than when speaking alone with Heiji and herself. Heiji manages to play it off as Conan pretending to be a detective. During the case, Sakurako made a batch of black tea. Even at the end when the culprit is revealed, Sakurako defends them saying that it could just be that the evidence makes it look like they did it due to the coincidence that the son just happened to be hungry.

=== Ex-Boyfriend Next Door Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 80#Yumi.27s Love Story|847-849]], Anime: [[The Ex-Boyfriend Living Next to a Crime Scene|731-732]]) ===
[[Naeko Miike]] gets a call from an old acquaintance who has just discovered a body at the Chateau Beika Condos, while the [[Detective Boys]] and [[Yumi Miyamoto]] are standing near by. It turns out that the call is from Sakurako, a childhood friend, who has become the housekeeper for the Itami family one week prior. The housewife of the family was wearing a cast and hanging from the ceiling. Conan and Sakurako recognize each other. When Sakurako is asked to recall a list of people who have access to the Itami mail box, she remembers another person who had figured out the code due to being good at memorization, [[Shukichi Haneda]]. During further investigation Sakurako determines for herself that there is no way that the housewife would have killed herself. She reveals many details about the housewife that she has learned in the short time she has been there. When [[Kazunobu Chiba]] enters the room he recognizes Sakurako as a childhood friend who was in the class a year behind his, and asks her if she remembers another person who was always with her, but gets interrupted. Conan and Shukichi solve the case.

=== A Blog That Causes a Death Case (Manga: [[Volume 87#A Blog That Causes a Death|918-920]], Anime: [[The Actress Blogger's Locked Room Case|814-815]]) ===
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] and the [[Detective Boys]] go to a cake buffet where they run into two TV actresses who both run blogs. With them is Sakurako, who recently became an assistant to one of the bloggers, Kyona Shono, after her agent got sick. Someone had approached Sakurako's agency and requested a replacement. After Sakurako runs to the store for her new employer, she returns to find the door locked and asks the manager for a key. They enter the room and find her dead. When the police arrive, Sakurako tells [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] that she is cursed as her employers keep dying. Conan and Sakurako get told to wait in the room of the other blogger while the police investigate. They are given drinks, Conan gets an iced coffee and Sakurako gets black tea. Sakurako fades into the background for the rest of the case. After the solution, [[Hyoue Kuroda]] makes a sudden appearance in Tokyo.

== Relationship Analysis ==
=== Mrs. Yonehara ===
{{main|Yonehara family}}
Not much is known about the relationship between Sakurako and her mother. She was raised by a single mother, which probably means that her father wasn't in her life. After her mother's death, she was hired/taken in by the Wakamatsu family.

=== Kohei Wakamatsu ===
Her mother was the housekeeper for the Wakamatsu Household. After her death, Sakurako was taken in by the master, who paid for her school and hired her as housekeeper. Sakurako is very grateful to the master, and it seems that he also would confined in her, when Sakurako admit that the master had talked about announcing his long lost daughter to his family and friends.

=== Naeko Miike ===
They are childhood friends who were known for always being together. She was one year below [[Naeko Miike]]. When Sakurako finds the body of the mistress of the household, she calls Naeko for help.

=== Kazunobu Chiba ===
They are childhood friends. She was one year below [[Kazunobu Chiba]].

=== Conan Edogawa ===
She seems to have noticed that [[Conan Edogawa]] acts differently when talking to adults. Even though Heiji tried to play it off as Conan copying him, Sakurako has witnessed Conan help with the solution of two more cases after that.

'''{{nihongo|Chianti|キャンティ|Kyanti}}''' is a [[Black Organization]] sniper in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Chianti profile.png|left|thumb|200px|Chianti aiming.]]
Chianti is a [[Black Organization]] sniper. She is skilled with rifles, and Haibara explains that she and Korn are excellent snipers. However she is not quite a match for FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]]: he is indeed able to fire precisely even at 700 yards,<ref>Manga [[Volume 49]], File 4 (504): Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref> whereas her maximal fire range is 600 yards.<ref>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out]]</ref> Her partner is [[Korn]], and the two are often seen together on missions, just as [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] are usually seen together. It is implied that she had some sort of relationship with the deceased member, [[Calvados]], whose death she blames [[Vermouth]] for.
{{clear}}

== Appearance ==
Chianti usually dresses in black leather suits with a collar. Her left eyelid bears the tattoo of a swallowtail butterfly's wing.

== Personality ==
Chianti is a wild, ruthless assassin who enjoys killing. She is also very impatient,<ref name=701p16>Manga [[Volume 67]], File 5 (701), pg 16: "What red and the number 13 indicate"</ref><ref name=501p11/><ref name=503p13>Manga [[Volume 49]], File 3 (503), pg 13: "Black Organization versus FBI 1"</ref> even refusing to stop her car when asked by a construction worker.<ref>[[The Shadow of the Black Organization|Episode 464: The Shadow of the Black Organization]]</ref> Gin has cautioned her not to shoot at innocent targets out of boredom.<ref name=501p11>Manga [[Volume 49]], File 1 (501), pg 11: "Follow the Target!"</ref> She uses harsh and rude language.

== Plot overview ==
==== [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]] ====
Chianti appears for the first time at a shooting stand belonging to the Black Organization, training for the planned murder of Yasutero Domon. Later, she is present when Gin discusses the time and place of this murder with Kir. Even if she is supposed to participate in the two attempted murders of the mission (against Yasutero Domon, then against [[Kogoro Mouri]]), and is, each time, seen waiting for Gin's order to shoot, she never gets the opportunity to fire until [[Shuichi Akai]] appears, which leads her to complain about having to move for nothing.

==== [[The Shadow of the Black Organization]] ====
Chianti is seen with Korn, driving her car, and talking to Gin through her radio. She mentions Kir's capture and entry in the Organization.

==== [[Clash of Red and Black]] ====

==== [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen]] ====

== Non-Canon Plot Overview ==
=== Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]] ===
Chianti and [[Korn]] are charged by [[Gin]] to burst the tires of [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]]'s car, and immediately leaves once the task has been executed. At the end of the movie, they assist Gin against [[Irish]] and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]: Chianti fires at Irish and is responsible for his death. She then tries to eliminate Conan, but fails.

=== Movie 20: [[The Darkest Nightmare]] ===
Chianti is going to appear in movie 20.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Korn ====
[[File:Korn Chianti Ferris Wheel.jpg|thumb|right|Chianti: "What? You want to ride the [ferris wheel]?"]]
[[Korn]] is Chianti's partner and they are usually seen together. They seem to get along well enough; Chianti confides to Korn that she would like to kill Vermouth because she led [[Calvados]] to his death. She may also allow him to take the best part of a mission to please him (that is to say, targeting the head of the victim), in spite of her strong desire to kill by herself.<ref>Manga [[Volume 49]], File 2 (502), pg 03: "A New Objective</ref> They are not dating.<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page-7#entry322612 Super Digest Book 60+] 5. Are Chianti and Korn dating? A: No.</ref> However, the animation team added an extra scene in [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small‎|the episode one remake special]] where Korn blushes when Chianti asks him if he wants to ride the ferris wheel, which in Japan is considered a romantic activity for couples.

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] and Chianti are enemies. Chianti hates Vermouth for taking advantage of Calvados' love and getting him killed. Vermouth sometimes taunts Chianti, who does not take it well.

== Trivia ==
* Chianti and Korn's car is a [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Chianti's Dodge Viper|blue Dodge Viper with two white stripes.]]
* Gosho Aoyama originally designed Chianti's swallowtail tattoo so it would "fly" when a shot is fired. However, he later scrapped that when he found out that snipers don't close their eyes when firing.
* Chianti always bring her favorite [[Wikipedia:Heckler & Koch PSG1|PSG-1]] semi-automatic sniper rifle.

== Background ==
Atsushi was a “mad scientist” who was unpopular in the scientific community because his work and theories were not mainstream.<ref>[[Volume 38|Volume 38, File 2, Page 7: "The Unexpected Treasure"]]; [[Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun|Episode 312: "Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun"]]</ref> Agasa was a distant acquaintance of Atsushi and had met him and his wife at conferences.

'''{{nihongo|Elena Miyano|宮野エレーナ|Miyano Erēna}}''' was a biochemist in the [[Black Organization]]. She was married to [[Atsushi Miyano]] and had two children, [[Shiho Miyano]] and [[Akemi Miyano]].<ref>Manga chapter 424</ref> Together she and Atsushi started the [[APTX 4869]] research according to [[Vermouth]].<ref>“If you [Shiho] want to blame someone, blame your parents who took over this foolish research.” Episode 345</ref> Both Elena and Atsushi died during a research facility fire that [[Pisco]] called an accident. Later the project was taken over by her daughter Shiho.

== Background ==
Atsushi Miyano moved out of his father's house 30 years ago to go "somewhere" for his research, most likely the [[Black Organization]]<ref>Manga [[Volume 42]], File 1 (425)</ref>. He got married in this time period to Elena, a foreigner of British origin. [[Vermouth]] hints that they worked on an existing project upon joining,<ref>“If you [Shiho] want to blame someone, blame your parents '''who took over''' this foolish research.” Episode 345</ref> which is probably part of the one Shiho implied was at least 50 years old.<ref>Manga [[Volume 19]], File 9 (189): "The Endangered Ball "; Episodes [[Episode 130|130]]-[[Episode 131|131]] "Kudo-kun? You would probably never even dream that you are already part of a project the Black Organization has been working on already for half a century."</ref> While researching, they worked on a project they called [[Silver Bullet]], which their lab mates refereed to as a "dream drug".<ref> Manga [[Volume 78]], File 1-7 (818-824)</ref> Elena was nicknamed “Hell Angel” while in the Organization, which [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] translates into Japanese as "the angel which fell into hell".<ref name="hell angel"/> She may have earned the nickname because of her nice personality which set her apart from the darkness of the rest of the organization. She and her husband met [[Hiroshi Agasa]] at a science conference at some point. Agasa remembers that Atsushi was a very polite person who complimented his inventions, but that Elena was a very quiet person who you couldn't tell what she was thinking.<ref> Manga [[Volume 39]], File 6-8 (398-400)</ref> Around 25 years ago Elena gave birth to [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] and then 20 years ago, the couple and a 4~5 year old Akemi visited Atsushi's father's house then occupied by Atsushi's childhood friend and playmate Sohei Degima.<ref>Manga Volume 42, File 1 (425), pg 12: "The Hidden Truth"</ref> [[Rei Furuya]] revealed that he had met Elena some time before she died.<ref name=824p5>Manga Volume 78, File 7 (824), Page 5: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> She appears in one of Amuro's flashbacks, where she asked him not to pick fights anymore as she wouldn't be able to tend his wounds the next time he comes, because she will go to somewhere "very far away".<ref> Manga [[Volume 84]], File 7 (889), Gosho confirmed it was Elena in the interview in Da Vinci Magazine 2014 "First, Amuro Tōru’s real name will be revealed. Then, why did he think of '''Haibara’s mother, Elena,''' will also be explained."</ref>

Elena and Atsushi died in a fire at their research facility<ref> Manga [[Volume 89]], File 11 (948)</ref> shortly after [[Shiho Miyano|Shiho]] was born.<ref> Manga [[Volume 89]], File 2 (939)</ref> Most of their work was destroyed, and their deaths were claimed to be an accident by [[Pisco]], who apparently was close with the couple. However, Elena and Atsushi seemed to know that something was going to happen to them. Elena took the time to leave four tapes for Shiho meaning that she knew she was about to do something that she might not survive, and entrusted those tapes to Akemi, who was around seven at the time.<ref>Manga chapters 425 and 427</ref> The four tapes are numbered 1-20 with the numbers split into groups of five. But the first two tapes are blank. The numbers correspond to a message left by Elena for Shiho's same-numbered birthday. On the fourth tape (15-20) message number 18 meant for Shiho’s 18th birthday, Elena talks about if Shiho will regret what she is about to do, she was working on a remarkable drug she called "[[Silver Bullet]]". She added that it was "terrifying" and the research would require them to leave Shiho and Akemi behind.<ref> Manga [[Volume 78]], File 1-7 (818-824)</ref> Shiho was able to resurrect their project from the salvaged remains, and was already working on it around 5 years ago.

== Appearance and Personality ==
[[File:Elena Silhouette .jpg|thumb|right|Elena's silhouette (episode 329).]]
Elena is British and has long brown hair. In every instance so far she has been shown wearing glasses which cover her eyes. She has also been shown wearing a lab coat.

Since Elena has not appeared or interacted with other characters much on screen, much of her personality has been described by others. Elena seems to have been a very quiet person which has lead to people thinking she didn't understand much Japanese. However we know that she is fluent. Agasa seems to think that she is more suspicious than her "mad scientist" husband, Atsushi.<ref>[[Volume 39|Volume 39, File 6, Page 6: "Torn Friendship 1"]]; [[A Friendship That Can't Be Bought|Episode 329: "A Friendship That Can't Be Bought"]]</ref> Elena seems to have had a generally nice personality, which has earned her the nickname "Hell Angel" inside the [[Black Organization]] which implies her niceness on the backdrop of the criminal organization. Given the tapes she left behind, Elena seems to have loved her daughters. That said, Elena left her daughters at the mercy of the Black Organization even though she knew that she was going to "disappear" in advance.

== Skills ==
Due to her work on drug related projects for the [[Black Organization]] she would have to be skilled at biochemistry. She made significant advances on her research project working with her lab mates on creating a "dream drug" that they were calling "[[Silver Bullet]]". It is unknown how much progress was made, only that her daughter [[Shiho Miyano]] was able to make further advances on a project called "[[APTX 4869]]".

Despite her quiet nature and foreign appearance, Elena can speak Japanese fluently. This was called into question by one of the workers living at Atsushi's house. In the anime he later sees Elena talking with Akemi quietly.

== Plot overview ==
=== Hotel Party Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|242]]; Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|178]]) ===
[[Pisco]] tells [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] that he is an old acquaintance of her parents and knew that they were working on a drug project. He is surprised on how far she has come with the project. He also mentions that the parents died in an accident.

=== Moving Dolls Case (Manga: [[Volume 38#Moving Dolls Case|384]]; Anime: [[Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun|312]]) ===
[[File:Elena first look.jpg|thumb|right|The first look at Elena we get, courtesy of Agasa's flashback.]]
When [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] questions Haibara about why she doesn't know much about the Doll sets, the topic shifts to her past. She mentions that the [[Black Organization]] told [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] that her parents had died in a lab accident, but Haibara is skeptical despite Pisco's earlier words. Haibara mentions that she doesn't know much about her mother, but that her father "[[Atsushi Miyano]]" was often called a Mad Scientist, and his projects were often boycotted.

=== The Torn Friendship (Manga: [[Volume 39#The Torn Friendship|398]]; Anime: [[A Friendship That Can't Be Bought|329]]) ===
On the way to a camping retreat Agasa comments that he does know the scientist, Atsushi Miyano. He says that he was a very friendly man who complimented his inventions. He reveals that his wife was named "Elena Miyano" and that she was quiet and he could never tell what she was thinking. Rumor has it that she met Atsushi when she came from England to study in Japan.

=== Bathroom Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|423-425]]; Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|340-341]]) ===
[[File:Elena chapter cover.jpg|thumb|left|Elena and Haibara on a chapter cover.]]
Approximately 30 years ago Atsushi moved out of the house he inherited from his father to go do research. He left the home to a childhood friend of his to open a design company. A short time later he sent a wedding invitation to his friend. At a point 20 years ago Atsushi and his wife, Elena, and his daughter, Akemi, came back to the house with something very important to tell the friend and stayed overnight, however the friend who was living there was busy and away for a few days. The other members of the company remember Elena being very quiet. They thought it was because she didn't speak Japanese very well, but Akemi spoke it perfectly. Atsushi had been looking out the window frequently and a black car with grey windows was parked nearby quite often. The three of them left without leaving any message behind. Akemi returned at a much more recent point of time (approximately one week before dying) to use the bathroom and hid something in the water tank. Twice someone had broken into the house and broken the lock on the bathroom door, possibly to find the item and spy on the occupants. Haibara reveals that her mother's nickname in the organization was {{nihongo|"Hell Angel"|ヘルエンジェル|Heru Enjeru}} and she translates it into Japanese as {{nihongo|3="jigoku ni ochita tenshi"|2=地獄に落ちた天使|4=the angel that fell to hell}}. At the end of the main case, Conan reveals that the items that Akemi hid in the bathroom were cassette tapes sealed in a plastic bag. The four tapes are numbered in 5 intervals ending with 20. Conan says that the first two tapes were empty and began to listen to the 11-15 tape. He stops and hands the headphones to Haibara saying that its something he shouldn't hear. The tape begins with "To the 11-year old Shiho, happy brithday!" The tapes are recorded messages from Elena to a more grown-up Shiho who she would have not been able to meet.

=== Convenience Store Case (Manga: [[Volume 42#Convenience Store Case|427]]; Anime: [[Hidden Bathroom Secret|343]]) ===
[[File:Haibara listening to tapes.jpg|thumb|right|Haibara listening to Elena's tapes.]]
In the middle of this case we have Haibara sitting in Agasa's basement listening to the tapes that were recovered in the previous case. "Shiho, won't you regret what you are about to do? If so, I am totally on your side. I'll never loose faith in you. Do your best. Well, it'll be your 19th birthday next time... bye-bye honey, oh, by the way... maybe you are old enough to hear this... I'm really..." However this is all we get to hear of the tape. (Later in the series we get the continuation of the quote.)

=== Halloween Party Case (Manga: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|434]]; Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===
In the confrontation between Jodie and Vermouth at the dock once the main case had finished, Haibara arrived and said that she would willingly give herself over to Vermouth in exchange for sparing everyone else. Vermouth told her "If you want to blame anyone, blame your parents who took over this foolish research."

=== Mystery Train (Manga: [[Volume 78#Mystery Train|821, 823-824]]; Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|702, 704]]) ===
[[File:Elena tea case.jpg|thumb|left|Amuro has a flashback with Elena.<ref> Manga [[Volume 84]], File 7 (889), Gosho confirmed it was Elena in the interview in Da Vinci Magazine 2014 "First, Amuro Tōru’s real name will be revealed. Then, why did he think of '''Haibara’s mother, Elena,''' will also be explained."</ref>]]
After receiving a message from Vermouth on her phone while on the train, Haibara freaks out and ditches the main group and hides around the corner as to not be detected. She then has a flashback to the words that her mother left her on the tapes (that were recovered 400 chapters ago). This version was translated slightly different than the original: "Alright, so the next time will be your 19th birthday... bye-bye see you soon... oh yes, maybe its about time I told you... the truth is, your mom is making a truly terrifying drug at the moment... my lab mates are getting really excited about it, they say it's like a "dream drug"... your dad and I are putting our hopes on it and calling it... the silver bullet! But in order to complete the drug, your dad and I will have to leave you and your sister... please understand Shiho..."

At the end of the case [[Bourbon]]'s identity is revealed and he tells the person he believes to be Shiho that she looks very much like her mother. He reveals that he has met both of the Miyano parents as well as Akemi. However that Shiho happened to be Kaitou Kid in a mask with Haibara feeding him lines.

=== Tea Poisoning Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 84#Tea Poisoning Murder Case|889]]; Anime: [[The Tense Tea Party|771]]) ===
[[Rei Furuya]] has a flashback to when he was a kid and his wounds were being treated by Elena. However she tells him that soon she may have to go far away and will be unable to continue to treat his wounds from when he was picking fights.

=== Department Store Stabbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 89#Department Store Stabbing Case|939-941]], Anime: 843) ===
When a makeup counter sales associate asks Haibara where her mother was, she commented that her mother had died shortly after she was born.

=== Kohji Haneda's Death Case (Manga: [[Volume 89#Kohji Haneda's Death Case|948]]-[[Volume 90#Kohji Haneda's Death Case|950]], Anime: [[Just Like a 17 Years Old Crime Scene|861-862]]) ===
Haibara gives further details about the deaths of the elder Miyanos. They died in a fire at their research facility. Many of their drug data documents were also destroyed but Shiho was able to recreate their drug based on the parts that survived. It is also revealed that their drug was used for killing like Shiho's APTX 4869. [[Kohji Haneda]] and [[Amanda Hughes]] who were killed in their hotel rooms 17 years ago may have been killed by that drug. However, only Kohji was listed on the [[List_of_Black_Organization_related_characters#APTX_4869_Victims|APTX 4869's victims' list]].

[[File:Elena reveals pregnant.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Elena reveals that she is pregnant to [[Atsushi Miyano|Atsushi]].]]
=== Black Bunny's Club Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Black Bunny's Club Case|1009]], Anime: TBA) ===
In a flashback, Rei is badly injured due to fighting with his bullies. Akemi brings him to her parents' clinic to get him treated. In contrast to her serious and mind-your-own-business behavior towards her patients, Elena seems very frank with Rei. The reason behind this is she can relate to him being a half-japanese herself. She advises him against fighting and tells him that he shouldn't come if gets into another fight. But if he hurts his pride by explaining to bullies why he is no different to them, she will surely put a bandage on it. It is revealed that during the flashback, Elena was three months pregnant with Shiho.
{{clear}}

== Relationship Analysis ==
=== [[Atsushi Miyano]] ===
With in a short time of meeting (a few years) they fell in love and and got married. Dejima, Atsushi's childhood friend reports that he received an invitation to their wedding only a few years after Atsushi had left his home in Dejima's hands.

=== [[Akemi Miyano]] ===
She had to trust Akemi enough to have left her tapes for Shiho in Akemi's hands. Akemi was also taken with Elena and Atsushi to visit Atsushi's home 20 years ago. However it must be noted that they were distracted enough by the fact that the [[Black Organization]] was following them that they let Akemi roam free and hide the resident's belongings.

=== [[Shiho Miyano]] ===
She cared enough to leave messages on tapes for the grown-up Shiho for all of the birthdays that she would miss witnessing. She even left some information about the drug project that she was working on called the "[[Silver Bullet]]" using that as an explanation as to why she had to leave Shiho and Akemi behind.

=== [[Vermouth]] ===
Vermouth seems to blame the Miyano parents for her own situation. When she was ready to kill [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] during the showdown at the docks she told her that she should blame her parents for this predicament.

=== [[Rei Furuya]] ===
While the true relationship between them has not been revealed yet, we know that they knew each other when [[Rei Furuya|Rei]] was younger. Rei got into many fights and it seems that Elena would bandage him up after the fights. However, one day, Elena had to move and could no longer bandage him. In the flashback in [[Volume_95#Black_Bunny's_Club_Case|Black Bunny's Club Case]], it is shown that Elena was very friendly with Amuro, which was unlike her behavior. It was because she could relate to him being a half-japanese herself. She advises him against fighting and tells him she will surely put a bandage on his wounded pride if he explains to his bullies that he is no different from them.

== Name origin ==

== Speculation ==

=== Elena Miyano and Mary are sisters ===
[[File:unknown child and haibara.jpg|thumb|right|Conan makes a connection between Mary and Haibara due to some remaining makeup.]]
In 2014 [[Gosho Aoyama]] did an interview with the Da Vinci magazine in which he revealed that "Two mothers will be revealed to be sisters". Many people jumped in with the idea that [[Mary Sera|Mary]], the [[Akai family]] mother, would be one of them since she is a recently introduced character of the arc that was happening at the time. Additional speculation began to link Elena as the other sister due to her being mentioned in the same question of the same interview. Furthermore, the two are both British.

In November 2015, the manga [[Volume 89#Department Store Stabbing Case|Department Store Stabbing Case]], Conan noticed some left over make-up on [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]]'s face that made it look like she had the [[Akai family]] eye bags. Conan immediately began to suspect that Haibara may be related to Mary. At this stage in the series we have not seen Elena Miyano's eyes for comparison.

In an interview in Singapore in 2016, Gosho confirmed that [[Shuichi Akai]] and [[Akemi Miyano]] are cousins. It is stated at 34:23 in the audio link.<ref>Aoyama Gosho's Q&A with fans. Singapore 2016. https://clyp.it/mwoiwshx</ref> This would imply that one of Shuichi's parents is a sibling of one of Akemi's parents.

In April 2018, Elena Miyano's face was fully revealed in the manga [[Volume_95#Black_Bunny.27s_Club_Case|Black Bunny Club Case]]. She does not have the Akai family eye marks, however she does mention having an older sister. In combination with the statements above this feels like one step away from being proven.

==== Other commentary on Sisters Speculation ====
'''Gosho has given three different [[Super Digest Books]] Q&A answers on the subject.''' 
[[Super Digest Books#SDB70.2B_questions_translations|SDB 70+]] 
Q67: Are [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] and [[Masumi Sera|Sera]]'s [[Mary|mother]] sisters? 
A: Yukiko is not the sister... 
[[Super Digest Books#SDB80.2B_questions_translations|SDB 80+]] 
Q5: Are Elena Miyano and [[Shuichi Akai]]'s/[[Masumi Sera|Sera]]'s [[Mary Sera|mother]] sisters? 
A: Eh? Why's that? 
Q62: Are [[Masumi Sera|Sera-san]] and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] cousins? 
A: Stop asking in a roundabout way, I'm not going to get tricked! (laughs) 

'''Gosho has also talked about it in [[Postcards]]''' 
[[Postcards#2016|2016]] 
Elena and Mary, sisters? ...please look forward to it~~ (laugh) 
Relationship between the [[Mary|ryōiki-gai no imōto (sister from outside the domain)]] and Haibara... please look forward to it (laugh).

'''{{nihongo|Calvados|カルバドス|Karubadosu}}''' is a [[Black Organization]] sniper in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[Image:Spotting Calvados.JPG|thumb|left|Calvados was spotting Jodie and Conan in anime episode 345.]]
Nothing is known about his past. But judging on Chianti's reaction toward Vermouth and her part in Calvados' death, it likely they the two of them knew each other. Since they both were snipers, they might have worked together. In episode 341 upon arriving at Beika Airport, Vermouth calls him with orders to shoot a particular person once they are in his sight. Later in [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|episode 345]] he is called by [[Vermouth]] to stake out at the docks to help her kill [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] after Vermouth (disguised as Jodie) had sent the FBI agents, who were originally hiding there to apprehend her, back. He shoots Jodie in the stomach and disables her and just as he was about to kill [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] pops up from the truck of Jodie's car to protect Haibara. Calvados repeatedly tries to shoot her down (despite Vermouth's orders to stop) and misses, he stops when Vermouth shoots a bullet in his direction. [[Shuichi Akai]] later breaks both of Calvados legs and takes his rifle, shotgun and 3 handguns. He later commits suicide in order to avoid being taken prisoner for questioning.

== Personality ==
According to fellow snipers [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]], he was infatuated with [[Vermouth]], which Vermouth used to her advantage. He willingly obeyed Vermouth's orders during an unsanctioned showdown with the [[FBI]] over [[Ai Haibara]]. During that showdown, [[Shuichi Akai]] crept up on Calvados unaware and severely injured him. Instead of surrendering to capture and interrogation, Calvados chose to commit suicide with a hidden handgun. The other snipers Chianti and Korn knew Calvados well enough to be aware of his infatuation and murderously furious at Vermouth for leading him to his death. Calvados' favorite weapon was said to have been his shotgun.

The {{nihongo|'''Karasuma Group'''|烏丸グループ|Karasuma Gurūpu}} is a group [[Elena Miyano]] mentions in [[Volume 95#File 1011 - Memories of That Woman|file 1011]] to have made an offer to hire [[Atsushi Miyano]]. Since [[Renya Karasuma]] is the boss of the [[Black Organization]], it can be assumed that the Karasuma Group is somehow linked to the Black Organization. But, since [[Gosho Aoyama]] said in an interview when Karasuma was revealed as the boss, that the real name of the Black Organization and the name of the boss are not related to each other and don't give each other away, the Karasuma Group can't be said to be identical to the Black Organization, nor can the name "Karasuma Group" be the real name of the Black Organization.
