=== Situation ===
Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are waiting for their reservation at Riyu Stream Restaurant, a highly popular traditional Japanese restaurant. While Kogoro is frustrated of waiting and being hungry, Conan looks around and sees computer controlled, miniature boats carrying food along a waterway. Anzai, the restaurant cashier, tells Conan that after the boats reach the guests' rooms, they push a button and the boat returns automatically. Kaneda and Arai, faculty of Joumon University, enter the restaurant to celebrate Kaneda’s new employment as assistant professor of physics. Anzai knows that a person called Kaneda reserved room #8, which Kaneda denies after Arai asks him about it. Their professor, Iwama, comes out to meet them and remarks on how late they are. Arai wants Kaneda to apologize for delaying them since Iwama planned this event. Kaneda brushes this off rudely and Arai is offended, to which Kaneda tells Arai to address him formally: as assistant professor. They leave for the room Iwama made the reservation in, which is room #3, after Kaneda orders the most expensive thing on the menu: blowfish milt. Conan, Ran, and Kogoro go to room #2 when the time for their reservation comes and Conan notices Kaneda leaving room #3. During their meal, Kogoro enjoys his wine and Conan is pleased with the food, but the dinner is interrupted when they hear a woman scream. They rush to the scene to see Anzai terrified by Kaneda's body with a knife in his chest.

<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
** At about 7:50, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro heard Iwama talking loudly to himself about a contact lens he dropped. When Iwama said he found it Conan and Kogoro witnessed Iwama’s shoji screen close.
** At about 8:00, Kogoro and Conan saw a boat with wine pass by their shoji screen. Conan noticed something peculiar about it.
** When Anzai found the body and screamed, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro went out to see what was wrong. Conan noticed Iwama put his jacket on while rushing to the scene.
** Conan deduced, by the angle Kaneda’s body was positioned, that Kaneda faced the murderer when standing at the foot of the table. The murderer then stabbed Kaneda and Kaneda fell on top of the table.
** Room #8 was completely dry, meaning the murderer did not swim in the waterway before entering the room.
** Conan noticed a black substance on Kaneda’s thumb which had a peculiar scent.
** Anzai saw Kaneda going to room #8 before he was murdered. When she asked him about it, he told her he had an appointment with someone there.
** The other guests only saw boats, not people, on the waterway.
** The door to the boat storage is always locked and Anzai is the only one with keys to enter it.
** Conan found that the big boat had the same black substance that was on Kaneda’s thumb. He asked Anzai if this was the boat which had whiskey and the ice from before and she confirmed it was. She also said this boat was scheduled in advance to bring food at 7:30 and whiskey at 8:00 to room #3 which was where the party was supposed to be. Conan looked under the floor panels of the boat and saw it was spacious inside.
** Conan checked room #3 and found two suspicious things. One was that only one pair of chopsticks had its wrapper. The second was a small hole and wet stain at the corner of room #3’s shoji screen sill.
** Not revisited by Conan but still a clue – When Iwama first appeared, the chefs said that Iwama bought lots of food regularly, even if he did not finish.

* '''Method and Conclusion'''
Kogoro via Conan, described how the murderer entered room #8 using the big boat on the waterway. The big boat had enough space in it to hide someone with small body. First, the murderer asked that all the food to room #3 be delivered on the big boat. After removing the food, he took off the wooden boards and got in the boat. Using the sensor, the boat was en route to return to the place where the boats are parked. On the way there, the murderer used his foot to turn off the switch for the sensor. The boat’s motor stopped and he arrived at room #8, where Kaneda was waiting because the murderer requested to meet in private. Kaneda must have been surprised but probably did not suspect this person would harm him because this person was a close friend. The murderer then stabbed Kaneda and positioned his body facing the corridor to appear as if the he had not used the waterway.

The murderer got back into his boat, flipped the switch to turn the sensor back on and the ship returned to the spot where all the ships were parked. The murderer was able to return to his room because the boat was scheduled to deliver whiskey to room #3 at 8:00. During this trip, with the murderer still inside the boat, the boat passed by Conan’s open shoji screen. Conan noticed that the waterline was high, meaning the boat was deep in the water despite only carrying the whiskey set, which proves the murderer was inside the boat.

Inspector Megure realized that to do all of this, the murderer would have to be in room #3 by himself and be a close friend to Kaneda. He figured '''Nobuo Iwama''' is the murderer which Conan agreed with. Conan believed Iwama made Kaneda meet with him in private and sent Arai to buy cigarettes, which Iwama knew was not a brand sold in the restaurant. Iwama reminded them he was looking for his contact lens at the time of the murder. Conan points out Iwama could be carrying a tape recorder but Iwama said it was for business.

Conan then explains how Iwama closed the shoji screen without being present in the room. Iwama used a rubber band, a pin, the wrapper of disposable chopsticks and ice. He tied the rubber band around one pin Iwama attached to the shoji screen left frame and to another pin on the left side of the shoji screen. Next, he wrapped the wrapper on the opposite side of the shoji screen and pinned it against the adjacent shoji screen frame using the pin. He opened the shoji screen up to the wrapper and pinned it in place. So, the rubber band was stretched from the left frame to the left side of the shoji screen, while the right side of the shoji screen was pinned to the left side of the wrapper. The right side of the wrapper was pinned to the right side of the frame. This setup held the shoji screen open by the wrapper, with the rubber band trying but unable to snap back into a relaxed form and shut the door with it. Iwama put a piece of ice from the food in the middle of the wrapper, which, when melting, caused the wrapper to soak up water and tear. Since the wrapper that was holding the door in place was split, the shoji screen had nothing to hold it in place and closed because the rubber band wanted to snap back into its relaxed form.

Conan found no traces of this technique in the room, except for the wet corner of the shoji screen and a small hole. This means Iwama cleaned up the rubber bands and pins, disposed of the tape and tossed the wrapper in the waterway. However, Conan had conclusive evidence which was the sauce for the milt Kaneda ordered. When the boat carrying the food first arrived, Arai spilled some sauce on the boat accidentally. Conan recounts that when Anzai screamed, Iwama came out of his room and the first thing he did was stop to put his jacket on instead of rush to see the scene. Since he might have done this to cover up the milt stain, Iwama was probably in the boat and some sauce spilled on him from the boat’s wooden panels. Iwama showed the police he had a stain on him but said he got it from knocking a plate over while looking for his contacts lens. Conan questions this, and brings to light that Kaneda had some sauce on his thumb, even though he left the room before the food got there. Conan finalizes his deduction by describing that Kaneda grabbed Iwama’s arm as he was being murdered, and that Kaneda’s fingerprint would still be on the stain on Iwama’s shirt. After hearing this, Iwama confessed to killing Kaneda. He reflects that if Kaneda had not ordered the blowfish milt, which was not part of the original reservation, his plan would have been perfect.

* '''Motive'''
Kaneda found out long ago that Iwama used a student’s thesis as his own. Kaneda used this as blackmail to make Iwama recommend him at the professor’s selection meeting. Iwama also prepared up to five million yen to pay Kaneda off but got fed up about the situation and decided to kill him.</spoiler>

=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Conan as Shinichi calls Ran but she's got something do and someplace to go. Conan muses that Ran must have something going on, something that's making her happy with anticipation.

Next, Kogoro Mouri gets Ran and Conan in the car and drives them to the office of his doctor, Yoshiteru Araide, who had insisted that he bring his family. While they're all in the doctor's home-based office, Ran asks the doctor's wife to use their bathroom. On the way there, she bumps into the doctor's young, altruistic, brilliant and ''very'' handsome son; she knocks a sheaf of papers from his hands, and experiences a significant touch from his hand to the top of hers when picking up the papers.

Later, after accepting an invitation to dinner there, both Kogoro and the doctor's wife Yoko cheerfully suggest that the son, Tomoaki Araide, and Ran marry. Logically, Conan gets jealous BIG time!

However, Yoshiteru gets electrocuted to death when taking a bath.

| description = Yoshiteru Araide leaves to take his habitual bath before dinner. A blackout occurs while Yoshiteru Ariade is in the bath. The maid Hikaru Yasumoto resets the circuit breaker once, and then once again when the lights go back out. Yoko Araide and Hikaru go to check on Yoshiteru... and find him dead in the full bathtub, with a submerged electric razor.
}}

Conan is quick to discover the cause for Dr. Araide's death: his electric razor has fallen into the filled tub, electrocuting him. Though it seems that Dr. Araide must have dropped the razor himself, Conan notices that some things don't quite add up: Why was Dr. Araide sitting with his back to the mirror mounted at the end of the bathtub when he was shaving? And where did Hikaru get the burn mark on her arm? But what distracts Conan from the case is that Ran and Tomoaki seems strangely drawn to each other, and a disconcerting thought dawns inside him: Could Ran have become interested in Tomoaki now? He ''is'' a rather handsome and popular fellow, after all...

==== Part 2 ====
While Kogoro, Megure, and Takagi test all possible scenarios, Conan discovers several clues missed by the police and adds them up to the solution of the case. And as usual, he stuns Kogoro to use him as a mouthpiece to deliver his conclusions. But poor Tomoaki vehemently protests the questionings, claiming that none of his family could have done such a thing...!

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The killer is '''Yoko Araide'''. Conan sets a trap for The Killer and The trick had involved stealthily putting the razor into the tub during the first short circuit; then, when Hikaru attempted to switch the light back on, Dr. Araide was electrocuted, causing the second power outage. Since the frail and gentle Hikaru had unintentionally murdered her employer and would undestandably have a huge freak out if she ever learned the truth, Conan (as Kogoro) and Yoko agree to change the details of the procession of events so that Hikaru would never be burdened by her conscience.

=== Motive ===
Confronted with the tricks she had used, Yoko confesses. She explains that she murdered her husband because her predecessor and Tomoaki's mother Chiaki, who was also her best friend, had succumbed to depression, alcoholism and eventually committed suicide because of Dr. Araide's continuous acts of adultery. She didn't try to hurt Tomoaki not just because he was innocent, but because right before her death, Chiaki asked her to help him through his life.

==== Conclusion ====
After Yoko's arrest, Tomoaki and Ran meet one last time. But contrary to Conan's fears, Tomoaki, who had listened into Yoko's confession and the agreement, is merely asking Ran to deliver his apologies to her father... and Ran then asks Tomoaki to borrow her the pretty sweater he is wearing, of which she knits a copy for Shinichi. Eri also asks Ran to give her two hand-knitted sweaters to somebody, which Ran gives to her dad and Agasa. Strangely, the one gave to Kogoro has the same pattern as the one to Shinichi/Conan.</spoiler>

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan solves the case and reveals that the culprit manufactured their alibi by (incorrectly) imitating the noise of the fireworks going off and tried to deflect suspicion from themselves by writing the bloody S using the victim's finger. He reveals that the S was not the real code, but the phone was: except for Oda, all of the friends (including the now deceased Narita, who was once part of this group) had last names that correspond to cities with airports in them. The police on the scene realize that since the message is "KIX" (the airport code of the Kansai International Airport, located in Izumisano), that means the culprit is '''Izumi Sano'''. The proof that she committed the murder lay in the blades of her ice skates, where she'd stepped in the victim's blood without realizing that she had done so. When confronted with this proof, the murderer confesses: she killed Chihiro for dating Narita then ruthlessly dumping him, driving him to suicide (but the other friends thought he'd simply had a fatal accident). Before he killed himself he told the murderer, believing the victim to have been two-timing with his best friend Kunitomo Oda. Oda reveals it was a misunderstanding and that Chihiro was lying about them having a relationship, leaving the murderer silenced.</spoiler>

List of Black Organization related characters

2019-01-16T17:48:49Z

Jocker: /* Mikoto Shimabukuro/Kimie Shimabukuro */

{{SpoilerWarningArticle|This article contains significant '''[[Glossary#Spoiler|spoilers]]''' about major recent and current events. It is likely you will be spoiled if you have not read all the manga released to date. To find out what pages will be safe for you to read, please consult our [[Glossary#Spoiler|wiki spoiler policy]].}}

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with targets below.

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.
{{clear}}

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].
{{clear}}

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of Kohji Haneda and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target Amanda Hughes to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances. Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. Gaito Hotta learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining Kohji Haneda's broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca", written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff. We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this'll be our little guinea pig".</ref> or alphabetical order.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of Shuichi Akai, Shukichi Haneda, and [[Masumi Sera]]. Ten years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.
{{clear}}

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.
{{clear}}

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is completely innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

{{nihongo|'''Toji Funemoto'''||}}, age 8, is a boy who bore witness to Rena Mizunashi's motorcycle accident. Vermouth confronted and interrogated him to figure out how much he knew. Gin noticed Toji was taken into witness protection by the FBI, but Vermouth told Gin he was irrelevant.

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

=== Natsuko Shibuya ===

[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of Jodie Starling's whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. Tooru Amuro was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via Camel's phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.

Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard, and [[Yukiko Kudo]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with targets below.

Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of Kohji Haneda and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target Amanda Hughes to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances. Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. Gaito Hotta learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining Kohji Haneda's broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca", written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff. We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this'll be our little guinea pig".</ref> or alphabetical order.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of Shuichi Akai, Shukichi Haneda, and [[Masumi Sera]]. Ten years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===

:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is completely innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of Jodie Starling's whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. Tooru Amuro was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via Camel's phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

{{Nihongo|'''Gaito Hotta'''|堀田凱人|Hotta Gaito}} was a TV-personality, who claimed to solve cases by connecting with the spirits of the dead. He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

{{nihongo|'''Rokumichi Hado'''|波土禄道|Hado Rokumichi}} is a rock musician who took a hiatus seventeen years ago and was investigated by Bourbon and Vermouth because his new single was to be named ASACA. He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.

Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with targets below.

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of Kohji Haneda and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target Amanda Hughes to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances. Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. Gaito Hotta learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining Kohji Haneda's broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca", written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff. We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this'll be our little guinea pig".</ref> or alphabetical order.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of Shuichi Akai, Shukichi Haneda, and [[Masumi Sera]]. Ten years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===

:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is completely innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of Jodie Starling's whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. Tooru Amuro was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via Camel's phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka.

Because of the elder's supposedly long life and a mysterious legless body corpse found in a fire, it has gather interest of people around Japan even from high-up and celebrities. Conan found [[Shiho Miyano]]'s name in the register of people who had anticipated in the lottery and recalled that it was Haibara's real name. But he doubt it's the same person.

Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard, and [[Yukiko Kudo]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time. Akemi came back as an adult to hide tapes left by Haibara's mother for Shiho in the toilet, and afterwards the Black Organization came to investigate secretly. Sohei Dejima was killed by Tetsuo Imai, one of his office designers unrelated to the Black Organization.

[[Wataru Date]] was a close friend of [[Rei Furuya]] while they were in police academy together. Rei was the top-ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else, probably the [[Public Security Bureau|Secret Police]] or the Black Organization, and fell out of contact with Date.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with targets below.

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of Kohji Haneda and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target Amanda Hughes to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances. Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. Gaito Hotta learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining Kohji Haneda's broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca", written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of Shuichi Akai, Shukichi Haneda, and [[Masumi Sera]]. Ten years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is completely innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of Jodie Starling's whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. Tooru Amuro was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via Camel's phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.

Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with targets below.

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===

Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of Kohji Haneda and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target Amanda Hughes to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances. Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. Gaito Hotta learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining Kohji Haneda's broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca", written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of Shuichi Akai, Shukichi Haneda, and [[Masumi Sera]]. Ten years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is completely innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of Jodie Starling's whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. Tooru Amuro was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via Camel's phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

{{Nihongo|'''Gaito Hotta'''|堀田凱人|Hotta Gaito}} was a TV-personality, who claimed to solve cases by connecting with the spirits of the dead. He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.

Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had died out, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't never met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to him for many years for a single mistake. [[Vermouth]] says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, 2 kilometers from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s and her body, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|The boss' ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her the most.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth.]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason, the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but he is only the general oversight division secretary, then Gin takes full responsibility.

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth.]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship. However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an Halloween party, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. To revenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
[[Atsushi Miyano]] and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were two biochemists in his organization. Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the pharmaceutical company where Atsushi worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and Elena were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the Black Organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, he sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by Andre Camel. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

|}

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a [[Wikipedia: Tengu|Tengu]], that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and, like that bird, represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
[[Gosho Aoyama]] was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. There is a possible parallel with [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]]'s story, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with targets below.

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.
{{clear}}

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].
{{clear}}

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of Kohji Haneda and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target Amanda Hughes to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances. Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. Gaito Hotta learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining Kohji Haneda's broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca", written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

== Targets ==
This is a list of people involved in a Black Organization plot, either as victims of crime, intended victims, or intelligence targets. Targets who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization are listed above.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff. We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this'll be our little guinea pig".</ref> or alphabetical order.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of Shuichi Akai, Shukichi Haneda, and [[Masumi Sera]]. Ten years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===

:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is completely innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

=== Natsuko Shibuya ===

:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of Jodie Starling's whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. Tooru Amuro was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via Camel's phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

{{Nihongo|'''Gaito Hotta'''|堀田凱人|Hotta Gaito}} was a TV-personality, who claimed to solve cases by connecting with the spirits of the dead. He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

{{nihongo|'''Rokumichi Hado'''|波土禄道|Hado Rokumichi}} is a Rock musician who took a hiatus seventeen years ago and was investigated by Bourbon and Vermouth because his new single was to be named ASACA. He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.

Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===

:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===

[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka.

Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard, and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

{{nihongo|'''Sohei Dejima'''||}}, age 54, was Haibara’s father’s childhood playmate. He hasn’t seen [[Atsushi Miyano]] for thirty years, which means they were friends until their twenties. He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

Sohei Dejima was killed by someone unrelated to the Black Organization.

[[Wataru Date]] was a close friend of [[Rei Furuya]] while they were in police academy together. Rei was the top-ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else, probably the [[Public Security Bureau|Secret Police]] or the Black Organization, and fell out of contact with Date.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===

An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car.

One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident.

[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka.

Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down.

Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again.

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident.

As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night.

Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral. Yukiko is currently aware that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization who had tried to kill her son earlier.

=== Sohei Dejima ===
[[File:Souhei Degima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|Bathroom Murder Case ]]'' 
'''Sohei Dejima''', age 54, was Haibara’s father’s childhood playmate. He hasn’t seen [[Atsushi Miyano]] for thirty years, which means they were friends until their twenties. He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time. Akemi came back as an adult to hide tapes left by Haibara’s mother for Shiho in the toilet, and afterwards the Black Organization came to investigate secretly. Sohei Dejima was killed by someone unrelated to the Black Organization.

=== Wataru Date ===
[[File:Wataru Date.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Wataru Date]] was a close friend of [[Rei Furuya]] while they were in police academy together. Rei was the top-ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else, probably the [[Public Security Bureau|Secret Police]] or the Black Organization, and fell out of contact with Date. Date's last text to Rei asked him where he was and chided Rei to communicate once in a while. After discovering his old friend was dead, Rei visited Date's grave, and left a toothpick out of respect for Date.

=== Kyosuke Senma ===
[[File:Kyousuke Senma.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|Kaitou Kid and the Murder ]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Kyosuke Senma'''|千間恭介|Senma Kyōsuke}} was an archeologist of a village who [[Renya Karasuma]], the boss, invited to his Sunset Manor forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Without knowing it, he has taken away the amulet bag with a memory card listing their complete agents that have infiltrated various organizations, that Masaaki obtained it possibly as insurance. The boss orders his men to retrieve the memory card before the police catch the culprit and look into the database. He didn't turn himself in, so was unmasked by Conan and defeated by [[Irish]].

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.

Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed seventeen years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka.

But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===

:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Werewolf man ===

Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night.

He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time. Akemi came back as an adult to hide tapes left by Haibara’s mother for Shiho in the toilet, and afterwards the Black Organization came to investigate secretly. Sohei Dejima was killed by someone unrelated to the Black Organization.

=== Wataru Date ===
[[File:Wataru Date.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Wataru Date]] was a close friend of [[Rei Furuya]] while they were in police academy together. Rei was the top-ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else, probably the [[Public Security Bureau|Secret Police]] or the Black Organization, and fell out of contact with Date. Date's last text to Rei asked him where he was and chided Rei to communicate once in a while. After discovering his old friend was dead, Rei visited Date's grave, and left a toothpick out of respect for Date.

:''See: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|Kaitou Kid and the Murder ]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Kyosuke Senma'''|千間恭介|Senma Kyōsuke}} was an archeologist of a village who [[Renya Karasuma]], the boss, invited to his Sunset Manor forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Without knowing it, he has taken away the amulet bag with a memory card listing their complete agents that have infiltrated various organizations, that Masaaki obtained it possibly as insurance. The boss orders his men to retrieve the memory card before the police catch the culprit and look into the database. He didn't turn himself in, so was unmasked by Conan and defeated by [[Irish]].

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.
{{clear}}

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===
[[File:Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later.

Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias.

:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents twenty years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

The boss orders his men to retrieve the memory card before the police catch the culprit and look into the database. He didn't turn himself in, so was unmasked by Conan and defeated by [[Irish]].

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].
{{clear}}

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.
{{clear}}

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.
{{clear}}

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].
{{clear}}

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.
{{clear}}

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===
[[File:Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later.

Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Hideaki Nakajima'''||}}, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from seventeen years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and seventeen years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by Rokumichi Hado who took a hiatus seventeen years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first.

:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

{{nihongo|'''Kazuki Honjou'''|本上和樹|Honjō Kazuki}} is a certified public accountant in Funabashi, Chiba, and the serial killer who murdered their minor agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] for revenge of his younger sister Nanako's death entirely unrelated to the Black Organization. Without knowing it, he has taken away the amulet bag with a memory card listing their complete agents that have infiltrated various organizations, that Masaaki obtained it possibly as insurance. The boss orders his men to retrieve the memory card before the police catch the culprit and look into the database. He didn't turn himself in, so was unmasked by Conan and defeated by [[Irish]]. As confirmed by his sister's boyfriend, he'll get a death sentence for seven planned murders, so the Black Organization decided to not kill his parents and let the police take care of him.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''||}}, age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff. We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this'll be our little guinea pig".</ref> or alphabetical order.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.
{{clear}}

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.
{{clear}}

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].
{{clear}}

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.
{{clear}}

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

=== Natsuko Shibuya ===
{{Main|Natsuko Shibuya}}
[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later.

After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
{{nihongo|'''Kenzo Hirota'''||}}, age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===

'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors.

One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===

An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car.

[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005.

[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===

'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].
{{clear}}

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff. We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this'll be our little guinea pig".</ref> or alphabetical order.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.
{{clear}}

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.
{{clear}}

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].
{{clear}}

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.
{{clear}}

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

'''Toji Funemoto''' is a young boy who bore witness to Rena Mizunashi's motorcycle accident. Vermouth confronted and interrogated him to figure out how much he knew. Gin noticed Toji was taken into witness protection by the FBI, but Vermouth told Gin he was irrelevant.

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

=== Natsuko Shibuya ===
{{Main|Natsuko Shibuya}}
[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===
[[File:Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

=== Gaito Hotta ===

{{Nihongo|'''Gaito Hotta'''|堀田凱人|Hotta Gaito}} was a TV-personality, who claimed to solve cases by connecting with the spirits of the dead. He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

{{nihongo|'''Rokumichi Hado'''|波土禄道|Hado Rokumichi}} is a Rock musician who took a hiatus 17 years ago and was investigated by Bourbon and Vermouth because his new single was to be named ASACA. He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===

:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===

:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===

An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff. We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this'll be our little guinea pig".</ref> or alphabetical order. At least 10 people are shown listed, and there may be more victims if the list is longer than shown.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

{{Nihongo|'''Gaito Hotta'''|堀田凱人|Hotta Gaito}} was a TV-personality, who claimed to solve cases by connecting with the spirits of the dead. He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

{{nihongo|'''Rokumichi Hado'''|波土禄道|Hado Rokumichi}} is a Rock musician who took a hiatus 17 years ago and was investigated by Bourbon and Vermouth because his new single was to be named ASACA. He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===

:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house.

'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again.

[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident.

As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night.

Conan found [[Shiho Miyano]]'s name in the register of people who had anticipated in the lottery and recalled that it was Haibara's real name. But he doubt it's the same person.

Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard, and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

:''See: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|Bathroom Murder Case ]]'' 
Sohei Dejima, age 54, was Haibara’s father’s childhood playmate. He hasn’t seen [[Atsushi Miyano]] for thirty years, which means they were friends until their twenties. He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time. Akemi came back as an adult to hide tapes left by Haibara’s mother for Shiho in the toilet, and afterwards the Black Organization came to investigate secretly. Sohei Dejima was killed by someone unrelated to the Black Organization.

[[Wataru Date]] was a close friend of [[Rei Furuya]] while they were in police academy together. Rei was the top-ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else, probably the [[Public Security Bureau|Secret Police]] or the Black Organization, and fell out of contact with Date.

After discovering his old friend was dead, Rei visited Date's grave, and left a toothpick out of respect for Date.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===

:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Werewolf man ===

Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair twenty years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again.

Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident.

As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night.

Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral. Yukiko is currently aware that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization who had tried to kill her son earlier.

=== Sohei Dejima ===
[[File:Souhei Degima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|Bathroom Murder Case ]]'' 
Sohei Dejima, age 54, was Haibara’s father’s childhood playmate. He hasn’t seen [[Atsushi Miyano]] for thirty years, which means they were friends until their twenties. He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time. Akemi came back as an adult to hide tapes left by Haibara’s mother for Shiho in the toilet, and afterwards the Black Organization came to investigate secretly. Sohei Dejima was killed by someone unrelated to the Black Organization.

=== Wataru Date ===
[[File:Wataru Date.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Wataru Date]] was a close friend of [[Rei Furuya]] while they were in police academy together. Rei was the top-ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else, probably the [[Public Security Bureau|Secret Police]] or the Black Organization, and fell out of contact with Date. Date's last text to Rei asked him where he was and chided Rei to communicate once in a while. After discovering his old friend was dead, Rei visited Date's grave, and left a toothpick out of respect for Date.

=== Kyosuke Senma ===
[[File:Kyousuke Senma.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|Kaitou Kid and the Murder ]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Kyosuke Senma'''|千間恭介|Senma Kyōsuke}} was an archeologist of a village who [[Renya Karasuma]], the boss, invited to his Sunset Manor forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI]]'' 
'''Yasuteru Domon''' is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

Toji Funemoto is a young boy who bore witness to Rena Mizunashi's motorcycle accident. Vermouth confronted and interrogated him to figure out how much he knew. Gin noticed Toji was taken into witness protection by the FBI, but Vermouth told Gin he was irrelevant.

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

{{nihongo|Rokumichi Hado|波土禄道|Hado Rokumichi}} is a Rock musician who took a hiatus 17 years ago and was investigated by Bourbon and Vermouth because his new single was to be named ASACA. He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
'''Senzo Fukuura''', movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias.

:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
'''Shigehiko Nomiguchi''', age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Werewolf man ===

:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka.

Sohei Dejima, age 54, was Haibara’s father’s childhood playmate. He hasn’t seen [[Atsushi Miyano]] for thirty years, which means they were friends until their twenties. He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time. Akemi came back as an adult to hide tapes left by Haibara’s mother for Shiho in the toilet, and afterwards the Black Organization came to investigate secretly. Sohei Dejima was killed by someone unrelated to the Black Organization.

=== Wataru Date ===
[[File:Wataru Date.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Wataru Date]] was a close friend of [[Rei Furuya]] while they were in police academy together. Rei was the top-ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else, probably the [[Public Security Bureau|Secret Police]] or the Black Organization, and fell out of contact with Date. Date's last text to Rei asked him where he was and chided Rei to communicate once in a while. After discovering his old friend was dead, Rei visited Date's grave, and left a toothpick out of respect for Date.

[[File:Kyousuke Senma.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|Kaitou Kid and the Murder ]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Kyosuke Senma'''|千間恭介|Senma Kyōsuke}} was an archeologist of a village who [[Renya Karasuma]], the boss, invited to his Sunset Manor forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].
{{clear}}

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
'''Masami Hirota''', age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].
{{clear}}

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.
{{clear}}

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===

Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

'''Hideaki Nakajima''', age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors.

One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== Akira Hirota ===
'''Akira Hirota''', age 28, was the giant hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===

Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka.

But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Without knowing it, he has taken away the amulet bag with a memory card listing their complete agents that have infiltrated various organizations, that Masaaki obtained it possibly as insurance. The [[The Boss|boss]] orders his men to retrieve the memory card before the police catch the culprit and look into the database. He didn't turn himself in, so was unmasked by Conan and defeated by [[Irish]].

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
'''Kenzo Hirota''', age 48, was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== The unnamed giant alias 'Akira Hirota' ===
The giant was hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as Akira Hirota, an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].
{{clear}}

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
Hideaki Nakajima, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.
{{clear}}

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].
{{clear}}

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.
{{clear}}

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===
[[File:Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.
{{clear}}

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
Hirota was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== The unnamed giant alias 'Akira Hirota' ===
The giant was hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as Akira Hirota, an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].
{{clear}}

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
Hideaki Nakajima, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

{{nihongo|Rokumichi Hado|波土禄道|Hado Rokumichi}} is a Rock musician who took a hiatus 17 years ago and was investigated by Bourbon and Vermouth because his new single was to be named ASACA. He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
Hirota was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== The unnamed giant alias 'Akira Hirota' ===
The giant was hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as Akira Hirota, an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].
{{clear}}

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
Hideaki Nakajima, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

The Black Organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff. We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this'll be our little guinea pig".</ref> or alphabetical order.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====
{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.
{{clear}}

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.
{{clear}}

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].
{{clear}}

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.
{{clear}}

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

Toji Funemoto is a young boy who bore witness to Rena Mizunashi's motorcycle accident. Vermouth confronted and interrogated him to figure out how much he knew. Gin noticed Toji was taken into witness protection by the FBI, but Vermouth told Gin he was irrelevant.

=== Tohei Benzaki ===

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

=== Natsuko Shibuya ===
{{Main|Natsuko Shibuya}}
[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===
[[File:Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

=== Gaito Hotta ===

:''See: [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
{{Nihongo|'''Gaito Hotta'''|堀田凱人|Hotta Gaito}} was a TV-personality, who claimed to solve cases by connecting with the spirits of the dead. He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

{{nihongo|Rokumichi Hado|波土禄道|Hado Rokumichi}} is a Rock musician who took a hiatus 17 years ago and was investigated by Bourbon and Vermouth because his new single was to be named ASACA. He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
Hirota was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== The unnamed giant alias 'Akira Hirota' ===
The giant was hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as Akira Hirota, an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
Hideaki Nakajima, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

Toji Funemoto is a young boy who bore witness to Rena Mizunashi's motorcycle accident. Vermouth confronted and interrogated him to figure out how much he knew. Gin noticed Toji was taken into witness protection by the FBI, but Vermouth told Gin he was irrelevant.

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

=== Natsuko Shibuya ===

[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

=== Amanda Hughes ===

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
Hirota was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== The unnamed giant alias 'Akira Hirota' ===
The giant was hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as Akira Hirota, an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===

:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

{{Main|Mary Sera}}
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.
{{clear}}

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
{{Main|Kogoro Mouri}}

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

:''See: [[The Scarlet Return]]'' 
Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Haneda Kohji and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him.

{{nihongo|Rokumichi Hado|波土禄道|Hado Rokumichi}} is a Rock musician who took a hiatus 17 years ago and was investigated by Bourbon and Vermouth because his new single was to be named ASACA. He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
Hirota was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== The unnamed giant alias 'Akira Hirota' ===
The giant was hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as Akira Hirota, an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

Hideaki Nakajima, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias.

Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again.

Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

[[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident.

As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night.

Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard, and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko also attended Sharon's funeral.

:''See: [[Volume 41#Bathroom Murder Case|Bathroom Murder Case ]]'' 
Sohei Dejima, age 54, was Haibara’s father’s childhood playmate. He hasn’t seen [[Atsushi Miyano]] for thirty years, which means they were friends until their twenties. He has lived in the house that Professor Miyano inherited from his father (Haibara’s grandfather) for thirty years. Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time. Akemi came back as an adult to hide tapes left by Haibara’s mother for Shiho in the toilet, and afterwards the Black Organization came to investigate secretly. Sohei Dejima was killed by someone unrelated to the Black Organization.

=== Wataru Date ===
[[File:Wataru Date.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Wataru Date]] was a close friend of [[Rei Furuya]] while they were in police academy together. Rei was the top-ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else, probably the [[Public Security Bureau|Secret Police]] or the Black Organization, and fell out of contact with Date. Date's last text to Rei asked him where he was and chided Rei to communicate once in a while. After discovering his old friend was dead, Rei visited Date's grave, and left a toothpick out of respect for Date.

{{nihongo|'''Kyosuke Senma'''|千間恭介|Senma Kyōsuke}} was an archeologist of a village who [[Renya Karasuma]], the boss, invited to his Sunset Manor forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was arrested for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Many main and minor characters have been linked to the [[Black Organization]].

This list excludes major Black Organization members and characters with jobs investigating crime generally, like the police. Characters who are part of an agency targeting the Black Organization like the FBI and CIA are also excluded unless their connection to the Organization goes beyond their work.

== Collaborators ==
This is a list of people who are known to have collaborated with the Black Organization, voluntarily or involuntarily. Some of these collaborators became assassination targets later. Those whose collaboration with the Black Organization is not clearly confirmed are listed with [[#Targets|targets below]].

=== Unnamed Weapons Smuggler ===
[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.
{{clear}}

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
Hirota was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== The unnamed giant alias 'Akira Hirota' ===
The giant was hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as Akira Hirota, an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===
[[File:Woman near Window.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]]'' 
An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the Organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. The anime replaced Gin and Vodka with lookalikes in the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|corresponding episode]].

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]]'' 
Hideaki Nakajima, age 27, worked for Mantendo corporation's game development section and designed a mystery video game about Kogoro Mouri. He was in a University boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving Tequila a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of Hideaki's coworkers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The Black Organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings.
{{clear}}

=== Ki'ichiro Numabuchi ===
[[File:Kichiro Numabuchi.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.
{{clear}}

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

According to Haibara they were all confirmed dead ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as uncertain ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

==== Mary Sera ====

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

=== Masami Hirota ===
[[File:Masami Hirota.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===
[[File:Domon Yasudera.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

:''See: [[Volume 80#A Shrine to Remember|Jodie's Memories and the Cherry Blossom Viewing Trap]] and [[Volume 81#Cocktail of Sorrow|A Detective Solves a Case in a Bar]]'' 
Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

Professor Miyano and his wife Elena stopped by after Akemi was 4 or 5 years old (and they were in the Organization) to tell Dejima something important but Dejima was out so he never got to say what it was. Sohei Dejima was being watched by the Black Organization at that time.

He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> and was taken into custody by the police for Shukuzen Ogami's planned murder.

Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Akemi Miyano and the billion yen robbery gang ===
[[File:Akemi Miyano.jpg|right|100px]]
Five years prior to the current time-line, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the Black Organization by dating [[Akemi Miyano]]. He was expelled after his true allegiance was uncovered, but Akemi could not be silenced because it would jeopardize the loyalty of her valuable sister [[Shiho Miyano]]. Eventually the Organization came up with a way to get rid of Akemi by pretending to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her.

Akemi hired two partners, the family-less, get-away driver Kenzo Hirota who worked at a taxi company in Tokyo, and an unnamed giant man with connections at a Pachinko building to serve as muscle. Akemi and her two partners successfully pulled off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Kenzo Hirota then backstabbed the other two by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approached different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Under alias Hirota Masami, Akemi Miyano pretended she was school girl from Yamagata to enlist Kogoro's help. Masami's other giant accomplice pretended to be Kenzo's elder brother, Akira Hirota, from Kyushu. After the two find Kenzo, a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Gin had given Akemi sleeping pills to add to the giant man's drink so she could take the money from him. The pills were really laced with cyanide and the giant man was killed. Akemi left the real cases of money at the hotel and went to meet with Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard. Gin killed her there, but was unable to recover the money.

=== Kenzo Hirota ===
Hirota was a taxi driver, who Akemi hired to be the get-away driver, likely due to his profession would make him the one to know the best escape route. However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats.

=== The unnamed giant alias 'Akira Hirota' ===
The giant was hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo Hirota betrayed them, the giant hired a detective to search for him, posing as Akira Hirota, an elder brother. After Kenzo Hirota was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant.

=== Unnamed woman ===

An unnamed woman exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car.

[[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] is an assassin who escaped the Black Organization before they could test APTX 4869 out on him when they decided he was useless. He then escaped from prison after that. He first showed up in Osaka in the [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case]] where he is a suspect. He is innocent of these particular crimes and was being starved in a shack by the real serial killer who wanted to frame him. He tries to stab Conan with a kitchen knife while escaping, but Heiji's good luck charm luckily blocks the blow. He took driving lessons at a seminary 20 years ago but failed. He appears again in [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest]]. When he escaped from the police (again) in a forest in Gunma, Conan discovers he apparently lived by the forest when he was younger and liked fireflies.

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. He probably owns Itakura studio. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular “system software” Itakura stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. Itakura didn’t want to complete the program “not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity.” He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an unrelated party. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 1012. Itakura also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the Organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else.

=== Asaka ===
[[File:Asaka EP861.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Case from 17 years ago]] and [[Rum]]'' 
{{nihongo|'''Asaka'''|浅香|Asaka}} is a mysterious person from 17 years ago who Conan believes is the killer of [[Kohji Haneda]] and potentially the Black Organization member [[Rum]]. Asaka approached the Black Organization target [[Amanda Hughes]] to be her bodyguard. Amanda and Kohji were later found dead in their American hotel rooms under mysterious circumstances; Kohji was apparently killed by APTX 4869 or something like it. Asaka then vanished without a trace. Not much else is known about the person.

Asaka's gender is uncertain. [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Gaito Hotta]] learned that someone witnessed Asaka holding a small hand mirror, and he guessed Asaka's gender is female; however, his reliability is questionable and perhaps influenced by the fact that the bodyguard was in possession of a women's accessory. Currently, Conan suspects that Asaka is a strong female bodyguard rather than a male based on Gotta Haito's testimony.

In addition, Conan suspects that Asaka may be Rum after examining [[Kohji Haneda]]'s broken handmirror shown in a picture on the case website. Kohji's broken hand mirror only had the letters PTON. The missing letters "U MASCARA" can be arranged to make the phrase "ASACA RUM". If this message means "Asaka is Rum" or something else is currently unclear, but not only did Okiya and Conan both arrived at that solution, the Black Organization has proven itself to be paranoid about anything related to the name ASACA spelled with a C and 17 years ago. [[Bourbon]] [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|was sent to investigate a song titled "Asaca"]] written by [[List of Black Organization related characters#Rokumichi Hado|Rokumichi Hado]] who took a hiatus 17 years ago. The song and the title turned out to be entirely to be unrelated to Haneda Kohji's case or the Black Organization.

Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the Organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that [[Rumi Wakasa]] looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed.

The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood brother. He was murdered 17 years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In chapter 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in Volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.

[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of [[Shuichi Akai]], [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. 10 years ago before the current timeline, she possessed an adult body. That means during the timeskip, she took something similar to APTX 4869 which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat.

:''See: [[Volume 18#Murdered Professor Case|Murdered Professor Case]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. When Shiho returned Akemi's vacation pictures to her, she had accidentally mixed in disks containing information about APTX 4869, which were saved by Professor Hirota.<ref>Source of disks is volume 18, chapter 9, page 12 (English online fan translation).</ref> The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Shigehiko Nomiguchi ===
[[File:Shigehiko Nomiguchi.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|Hotel Party Murder Case]]'' 
Shigehiko Nomiguchi, age 56, and a politician, was bribed by someone who was never clarified (possibly by the Black Organization), and was going to be arrested and divulge information. The boss decided to eliminate him. Pisco, with the unwilling help of Vermouth was ordered to perform the assassination. Pisco managed to successfully kill Nomiguchi by dropping a chandelier on him, but due to Conan's interference, the police discovered it was a murder and not an accident like the Black Organization hoped it would be ruled. His family disappeared soon after, but it's unknown if the Black Organization got rid of them or if they went into hiding to escape them. Haibara did not react to his presence while she was watching him with Conan.
{{clear}}

=== Araide family ===
{{main|Tomoaki Araide}}[[File:Tomoaki Araide.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth attempted to kill the Araide family so she could disguise and take the place of Tomoaki Araide. Dr. Araide was targeted for his job as school nurse at Teitan Elementary and Teitan High which allowed Vermouth to get close to Haibara Ai, Conan Edogawa, and Ran Mouri. The FBI caught on to Vermouth's intentions before she could act and used disguised stunt doubles to make it appear that the Araide family were all killed when their car ran off a cliff into the ocean. After Vermouth was unmasked, Dr. Araide has been able to come out of hiding and continue his job as school nurse where Vermouth left off. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether Tomoaki Araide was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Jazz club man ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]]'' 
Gin and Vodka set up a man to be killed when they met with him at a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. Vermouth was disguised as a waiter in the club at the time, although it isn't clear whether she was there to assist if Gin and Vodka failed or if she had her own reasons.

In the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name as {{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, the real-life chief producer of many Conan-related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]].

=== Starling family ===
{{Main|Jodie Starling}}
[[File:Jodie Starling.jpg|right|100px]]
Vermouth killed [[Jodie Starling]]'s parents 20 years ago and burnt down the Starling house. Vermouth's primary aim was to kill the FBI agent Mr. Starling and destroy his investigation files that involved Vermouth. Jodie survived because she left the house before it burnt down. After hearing that only two bodies were discovered, Vermouth desperately searched for Jodie, but to no avail; Jodie had been placed into the witness protection program by her father’s colleagues. Jodie became an FBI agent to seek out Vermouth.

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Senzo Fukuura, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.
{{clear}}

=== Werewolf man ===
[[File:Werewolf.jpg|right|100px]]
:''See: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case ]]'' 
Vermouth blackmailed this unnamed man into killing Senzo Fukura. After this man posted in a murder forum about wanting to kill Senzo Fukura, Vermouth replied back using her codename and asked if he would do so if she provided the tools and the strategy. The man revised his thoughts and refused, so Vermouth blackmailed him with a letter threatening his family and a box full of recordings of his family, tapped phonecalls, and detailed notes of his and his family's daily schedule. Blackmailing the werewolf man was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi Kudo away from Ai Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for blackmailing this man, or if she chose him because he was convenient. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the Black Organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the Organization.

=== Yasuteru Domon ===

:''See: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|Black Organization vs. FBI ]]'' 
Yasuteru Domon is a politician hard on crime whom the Black Organization attempts to assassinate after the events of the Ding Dong Dash. The FBI believed the boss ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia: Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he is hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia: Prime Minister of Japan|Prime Minister]]. The Black Organization ordered Kir to arrange an interview with him in exchange for suppressing information that his father was under suspicion of having an extramarital affair 20 years ago. The Black Organization planned the timing so that it could be blamed on female gang leader Kiriko Busajima who had been accused of hiring a hitman to kill him before. The assassination plot was called off because Yasuteru Domon decided to stop running for office when the affair information was about to come out anyway. The Black Organization had not realized that this information was enough to get him to stop running for office.

=== Kogoro Mouri ===

:''See: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact!]], [[Wedding Eve]], and [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]]'' 
Kogoro Mouri temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With the boss's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the Black Organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Shuichi Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Shuichi Akai, and the Organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is [[Conan|completely]] innocent.

Tooru Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|the Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted.

When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

Tohei Benzaki is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the Black Organization have no further interest in Tohei Benzaki.

It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

Natsuko Shibuya is a Japanese friend of [[Jodie Starling]]'s whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. [[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via [[Camel]]'s phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. [[Vermouth]] copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie.

{{nihongo|'''Amanda Hughes'''|アマンダ・ヒューズ|Amanda Hyūzu}} was an elderly wealthy American who was killed 17 years prior to the current timeline. As the cause of her death could not be determined, it is possible that she was poisoned by [[APTX 4869]] or a similar substance. Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion [[Kohji Haneda]] whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room. Conan suspects that a Black Organization agent posed as a bodyguard named "Asaka" and killed her with a drug. The bodyguard then vanished completely afterwards.

He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show.

He committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death 17 years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the Black Organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.{{clear}}

His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. After becoming a famous detective, his daughter only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Karasuma had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol in the dark, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle.

'''{{nihongo|Masaaki Okakura|岡倉政明<ref>In the police report, his first name is written "正明".</ref>|Okakura Masaaki}}''' is a minor [[Black Organization]] member who appears only in [[The Raven Chaser]].

== Background ==
[[File:M13-memory card.jpg|thumb|left|His memory card.]]
Masaaki Okakura is a minor [[Black Organization]] agent, disguised as a parliamentary secretary, very suitable for a NOC sent by the organization to inquire about senior government officials information. His position is not low working undercover as a civilian, but it is not enough to have a codename. He is from Tokorozawa, Saitama.

He carried a memory card containing their entire NOC list, perhaps seeking some sort of insurance as speculated by [[Vermouth]]. The organization had grasped the fact and planned to get rid of him shortly. However, he was first stabbed to death by the vicious serial killer Kazuki Honjou for merely self-satisfaction, blaming him to take up a space in the final elevator that was able to escape the fire that killed his younger sister Nanako.

His murderer has unknowingly made off with his purple [[Wikipedia: Amulet#China and Japan|amulet bag]], one among the accessories often carried with the memory card. The [[The Boss|boss]] orders his men to retrieve it before the police catch the culprit and look into the database. For [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] could just be the one single trump card that crushes them, but it was destroyed by [[Chianti]] with a shot.

== Personality ==
Unlike most Black Organization members, Masaaki doesn't seem to be a very cruel person and he also has a thick side in obligation. Last year, on the first anniversary of her death, to express Nanako his gratitude for allowing him to board the elevator, he brought anonymously one flowers bouquet to her parents and elder brother on the memorial service day.

== Appearance ==
He has a large stature, brown hair and relatively big eyelashes.
