'''{{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 Fuu Rin Ka Zan 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 "Koumei" 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|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/>

===Family & Friends===
====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: Fuu Rin Ka Zan</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.

==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 "Fuu Rin Ka Zan" as his battle slogan. This is even pointed out by Conan during the Red Wall Case.<ref>Manga Chapter 682: The Red Wall</ref>
