=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Junko Hirose'''. Before the crime, she visited Atsuro at seven and left at eight to make an alibi before killing Masaru. In the time of the crime, she hurriedly goes to Tonkoro to commit the crime. The time of the crime was really '''9:00'''. She reset the time to '''8:00''', to make it look that he was killed at that time. Supposedly, Katsui was supposed to kill Hirose, but failed. She set up the situation so that Atsuro could've given her an alibi upon her initial arrest, considering that she had gone to his home. She knew that he wouldn't come forward, and because of Japan's relatively lax penal code and the fact that it was her first offense she would serve a fairly short sentence. After she got out, she'd be able to confront him in front of his wife for letting her take the fall, which would've exposed him as a lying coward in front of his wife. This would've been her cruel "last gift" to the man who abandoned her for another woman. Ironically, as noted by Conan, the end result was the same, as once the press revealed the story, Atsuro's fiancé and her father would learn truth about his true shameless and gold-digging nature.</spoiler>

'''{{nihongo|Kaitou Kid|怪盗キッド|Kaitō Kiddo|lit. Phantom Thief Kid}}''' is the secret identity of the main character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', and a recurring character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Kaitou Kid first appeared 18 years ago in Paris, a herald to the quiet retirement of the master thief, [[Chikage Kuroba|Phantom Lady]].<ref name=MKf29>Magic Kaito Volume 5, Chapters 29 and 30: The Phantom Lady.</ref>{{clearleft}}

=== Toichi Kuroba ===
{{main|Toichi Kuroba}}
[[File:Toichi Kuroba.jpg|left|]]
'''{{nihongo|Toichi Kuroba|黒羽盗一|Kuroba Tōichi}}''' was secretly the original Kaitou Kid. Toichi as Kid was the greatest jewel thief in Japan as well as a world-renowned stage magician until he was murdered in a fake magic accident. Sometime prior to his death, Toichi had his attendant and friend [[Konosuke Jii]] promise him that he would never tell Kaito about his thieving.<ref name=MKf1>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 1]]</ref> A thief herself, his wife [[Chikage Kuroba]] was well aware of his double life, having witnessed the inception of Kaitou Kid.<ref name=MKf29 /> Toichi ceased to be Kaitou Kid only upon his death in a fake magic accident arranged by [[Magic Kaito Organization|a mysterious rival group]].
{{clearleft}}

=== Konosuke Jii ===
{{main|Konosuke Jii}}
[[File:Konosuke Jii.jpg|left]]
'''{{nihongo|Konosuke Jii|寺井黄之助|Jii Kōnosuke}}''' temporarily portrayed Kaitou Kid eight years following Toichi's death in an effort to lure out Toichi's murderers. Jii ceases being Kid and becomes Kaito's assistant when Kaito dons the mantle of Kaitou Kid himself. Since then, Jii has occasionally been a decoy Kid on Kaito's behalf, but more commonly he assists on heists in other ways.
{{clearleft}}

=== Kaito Kuroba ===
{{main|Kaito Kuroba}}
[[File:Kaito Kuroba.jpg|left]]
'''{{nihongo|Kaito Kuroba|黒羽快斗|Kuroba Kaito}}''' is the current Kaitou Kid. Kaito is a second-year student at Ekoda High School Class 2-B alongside his childhood friend [[Aoko Nakamori]], the witch [[Akako Koizumi]], and transfer student detective [[Saguru Hakuba]]. Kaito discovers his father's identity as the original Kaitou Kid after eight years following his death thanks to a secret room inside his house as well as talking with his father's attendant and friend, Konosuke Jii. Wanting to pick up where Jii left off, Kaito continues to be Kaitou Kid in an effort to lure out his father's murderers by making Kid a world-famous thief once again. It isn't until the ''Blue Birthday'' heist that the murderers appear and reveal that they are searching for the doublet red-colored gem [[Pandora Gem|Pandora]], said to shed tears of immortality during the passing of a particular comet. Upon realizing the [[Magic Kaito Organization|organization]]'s aim and that his father was killed for his refusal to aid them in retrieving Pandora, Kaito vows as Kaitou Kid to find the Pandora gem first and shatter it into pieces.<ref>[[Magic Kaito Volume 3#Blue_Birthday|Magic Kaito Volume 3, Chapter 7: Blue Birthday]].</ref> Kaito's mother is aware that Kaito discovered Toichi's secret room and has taken up the mantle of Kaitou Kid.<ref name=MKf1 />
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
=== Toichi as Kid ===
[[File:Elder Kid.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Toichi Kuroba as Kaitou Kid]]
Not much is given about Toichi as Kaitou Kid. However, we do know that at some point in time, a dark organization forced him to steal gems to find [[Pandora Gem |Pandora]]. His refusal led to his death in a "magic accident."

=== Jii as Kid ===
After the death of Toichi, Jii lived by himself. Over the course of eight years, he grew angrier and angrier until he donned the costume of Kaitou Kid in order to lure out the organization that killed Toichi. He was only dressed as Kid twice before Kaito took over.

=== Kaito as Kid ===
[[File:Kid seducing Ran.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kid seduces Ran by tricking her into believing he is really Shinichi]]
In both civilian and costumed life, Kaitou Kid is a compulsive trickster who is drawn to any challenge just for the sheer thrill of overcoming all hazards in the end. Kid is infamous for having a rather overconfident (close to the point of arrogance) attitude, always preferring to create as big a bang as possible. He loves nothing more than leading the police in wild goose chases, letting them get within a hair's breadth of catching him, before exiting one way or another. Seemingly having a soft-spot for his fans, there has been more than one occasion when Kid has refused to show when the police tried to bar the general public from witnessing his act. Generally, when these instances occur, one of Kid's tricks rely, one way or another, on his ability to blend in with a crowd.

Kaitou Kid is also quite a charmer, seeming to always know just what to say to the ladies to leave them speechless. Kid hates to see others get hurt, and he never hesitates in leaping to rescue someone, whether physically or mentally. Despite his low reputation in some quarters, Kid does have a sense of honor, in as much as that he decides to leave the loot behind if it has no further purpose other than having challenged his trickster skills, doesn't contain Pandora, or when a more humane background stands behind their existence. These qualities are some of the reasons why he and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] occasionally end up as allies in a common cause.

For some as yet unexplained reason, Kaito suffers from a severe case of ichthyophobia (fear of fish).

== Appearance ==
[[File:Kaitou Kid Manga.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Kaito Kuroba]] as Kaitou Kid]]
=== Toichi as Kid ===
The classic Kaitou Kid outfit was originally developed for one of his stage performances to honor Arsène Lupin, but he decided to use it as his thief outfit after saving [[Phantom Lady]].

=== Jii as Kid ===
Jii donned the costume of Kaitou Kid, but used a smiling mask, in order to lure out the organization that killed Toichi. He was only dressed as Kid twice before Kaito took over.

=== Kaito as Kid ===
Kid has dark brown hair (black in Magic Kaito 1412) with fringe that ends just above his eyes, but the rest of his hair is normally covered by a white top hat with a blue ribbon band. When dressed in his normal outfit, his right eye is covered by a white monocle that has a dangling green charm with a white clover imprinted on it. Kid's outfit consists of a white suit jacket on top of a blue shirt with a red tie and white dress slacks. The white [[Hang Glider Cape]] is attached to the jacket at Kid's shoulders. Kid wears blue socks with white Oxford style shoes with white soles. In his original appearances Kid wore white loafer type shoes.

Kid has been seen wearing black shirts and pants along with a black hat to help cover his face, usually when doing information gathering for heists or when he has his "audience" at his heists looking elsewhere. Apart from these two outfits, Kid is a master of disguise and has been seen disguising as several people throughout the course of ''Detective Conan'' and ''Magic Kaito''.

At several instances, it has been demonstrated that Kid shares a close natural likeness with [[Shinichi Kudo]].<ref>[[Volume 16#Kaitou Kid and the Black Star|Manga Chapters 156-159: Kaitou Kid and the Black Star]]</ref> This, on occasion (particularly in the non-canon appearances), allows him to pass himself off as Shinichi whenever needed, without requiring a special disguise.<ref>[[The Last Wizard of the Century|Movie 03: ''The Last Wizard of the Century'']]</ref><ref>[[Magician of the Silver Sky|Movie 08: ''Magician of the Silver Sky'']]</ref><ref>[[The Lost Ship in the Sky|Movie 14: ''The Lost Ship in the Sky'']]</ref><ref>[[Kid in Trap Island|OVA 10: ''Kid in Trap Island'']]</ref>

== Name origin ==
When Kuroba Toichi began committing high-profile heists, INTERPOL named him "International Criminal #1412," as they were unaware of his true identity. Sometime later, a reporter referred to him as "Kaitou 1412" in a hastily-written note, since the word "kaitou" means "phantom thief" in Japanese. This note was seen by [[Yusaku Kudo]], who misread the numbers as "KID." Thus, Yusaku named the Kaitou Kid. <ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=55 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1996-18-01 |isbn=4-09-120628-X|chapter=File 3 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=151}}</ref>

== Trivia ==
* {{nihongo|'''Kuroba'''|黒羽 or クロバ|}} (Kaito and Toichi's family name) is also a way to pronounce {{nihongo|"clover"|クロバー|kurobaa}} in Japanese (the only difference is a long vowel). This is most likely why a clover appears on Kaitou Kid's monocle. In addition Gosho's [[Animal_Crossing_promotional_hints|Animal Crossings]] characters are named after the playing card suits, "Clover" introduces itself as Kaito Kuroba and dresses as Kaitou Kid (except with a black top hat).
* Kaitou Kid was clearly modeled after the fictional gentleman thief Arsène Lupin, by French author Maurice Leblanc. In the French-speaking world, Lupin is as famous as Sherlock Holmes is in the English-speaking world. Interestingly, Holmes appeared in several Arsène Lupin stories; however, after Conan Doyle protested due to copyright laws, Leblanc changed the name to "Herlock Sholmes."
* Kaitou Kid signs his heist notes with a drawing of his face in abstract. He re-draws this insignia for each note, so that police will know that it was truly him and not an imitator using a scanned copy of a former insignia.
* He made a cameo in [[A Challenge Letter to Shinichi Kudo ~Prologue Until Goodbye~]], in his [[Hang Glider Cape]] when the bomb explodes in mid-air.
* In [[The Last Wizard of the Century]], the police attribute 134 cases of thievery to Kaitou Kid, fifteen of which have been overseas including America, France, Germany, and 12 other places. In total, 152 gems have been stolen with a net worth of 38,925,000,000 yen but this is obviously not considered canonical in the main story of Detective and Kaito Kid .
* Akako Koizumi once dressed up as the Kaitou Kid to trick [[Saguru Hakuba]] into thinking Kaito was innocent. During her escape with the target jewel, she screamed in a revealingly girly manner, causing Aoko to deduce that the Kaitou Kid must be a homosexual.
* In both the Japanese and English dub, Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou Kid shares the same voice actor as that of Shinichi Kudo.
* Kaitou Kid apparently knows how to drive as shown when he was disguised as Kogoro Mouri in Volume 30: Sunset Manor Case.

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

== Background ==
Sonoko Suzuki is the second daughter of Shiro Suzuki, head of the extremely wealthy family and large company, second only to [[Renya Karasuma]]<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref>, and his wife Tomoko. She has an older sister, [[Ayako Suzuki|Ayako]], and an uncle, [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi]], who is often involved in trying to capture [[Kaitou Kid]]. She and Ran have been close friends since kindergarten.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-04-20h34m41s202.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko is rather expressive.]]
Sonoko's primary character traits are her impulsiveness, her temper and sense for romanticism. She often acts without thinking ahead, thereby usually dragging [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (and by extension, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]) into her schemes<ref name=e457-458>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> or firing her mouth away with wild tales.<ref name=m94>[[Volume 94#Crimson School Trip Case|Manga Volume 94, File 1000: ''Crimson School Trip Case'']]</ref> Often she acts very insensitively to other's feelings; while she encourages Ran to take her relationship with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] to a higher level, she just as much enjoys teasing her best friend and beholding her embarrassment.<ref name=m22>[[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|Manga Volume 22, File 219: ''Sonoko's Camera Case'']]</ref><ref name=m25>[[Volume 25#Skating Rink Case|Manga Volume 25, File 243: ''Skating Rink Case'']]</ref><ref name=m72>[[Volume 72#Horror Show|Manga Volume 72, File 756: ''Horror Show Case'']]</ref><ref name=m94/> Despite coming from a very wealthy family and fully enjoying such a pampered lifestyle, Sonoko is surprisingly humble about it. Never trying to buy popularity and friends or bribe her way to get what she wants, Sonoko appreciates getting things that matter and for the right reasons.

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

Sonoko loves to go on big vacations, like expensive ski trips,<ref name=e84-85/> and loves to buy fancy clothes and items.<ref name=e217-218/> She is also a big fan of the band LEX,<ref name=e42>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> and various other people in pop music, including [[Two-Mix]].<ref name=e81-82>[[The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case|Episode 81-82: The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case]]</ref>

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

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

In non canon she also loves to go to festivals where sugary sweets are on display, often picking up gigantic plates filled with various cakes.<ref name=e368>[[The Candy House the Witch Lives In|Episode 368: The Candy House the Witch Lives In]]</ref><ref>Beware of Dieting</ref>She has even used [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] for the sole purpose of having a children's discount on food.<ref name=e547-548>[[Two Days with the Culprit|Episode 547-548: Two Days with the Culprit]]</ref>

She also speaks too politely and formally toward some people for example she refers her uncle as Oji-sama rather than Oji-san also he calls Kogoro same and Eri as Oba-sama,she also calls the guests Okyaku-sama,but she calls her father and mother Papa and Mama,and her sister aneiki.

Despite her brave personality like normal girls she screams at sight of a deadbody.

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

== Plot overview ==
=== Deduction Queen Sonoko (Manga: [[Volume 5#Bandaged Man Case|40-44]], Anime: [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|34-35]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko35.png|thumb|left|200px|Deduction Queen Sonoko appears!]]
Conan and Ran visit Sonoko's mountain villa to see the autumn leaves and meet up with some old friends. On the way to the front they see a strange bandaged man in a dark cloak crossing the bridge. When they see him turn around, they are shocked at his face, as he quickly makes a retreat around the side of the house. Everything seems fine as Ran tries to find her room, accidentally walking in on the men also staying the house. When everyone is asked about the bandaged man he is brushed off as possibly a crazy man with nothing better to do. However, he is taken far more seriously when Ran is attacked in the woods, but the attacker is scared off by Conan, and later one of the women is seen being carried off by him from the windows. Conan and the other men chase him and find her dismembered body in the woods.

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

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

=== Makoto's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|219-221]], Anime: [[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|153-154]]) ===
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu, where Sonoko's schemes to get a boyfriend. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi (since she likes teasing Ran and Shinichi frequently about being an "old married couple"). Sonoko also laments about her lack of a love life, just before a college student, Michiwaki, asks her out to lunch. Ecstatic at the romantic attention, she agrees to lunch and then to dinner as well. However, due to nervousness, she has Ran and Conan come along for lunch. During the meal, Michiwaki tells a story that young brunette girls have been found murdered in the woods not far from the restaurant, once a year ago and once much more recently, but he offers to keep Sonoko safe.
[[File:EP153-154b Case.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The serial killer tries to kill Sonoko.]]
Later, Sonoko is attacked when she interrupts a suspicious figure searching her belongings, and bites him in self-defense before he escapes. The stoic and somewhat unfriendly high school student, [[Makoto Kyogoku]], who is working at the ''ryokan'' moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen him somewhere before but cannot remember where. Michiwaki arrives muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko, but he does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker because the attacker was hairy. Michiwaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the ''ryokan'' because Michiwaki says that his car has broken down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos, but perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs (about sending them to Shinichi) and misunderstood.

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

=== Jodie's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 27#Arcade Murder Case|271-273]], Anime: [[The Battle Game Trap|226-227]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko227.png|thumb|right|200px|Sonoko thinks about Makoto.]]
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are at the arcade taking sticker photos, which Ran realizes Sonoko suggested because Sonoko wants to put a sticker with her face on a letter to Makoto. Sonoko blushes but doesn't deny it. Soon after, they encounter their High School English teacher, Jodie Saintemillion, who is an avid gamer. Jodie introduces Ran to a virtual reality fighting game which uses mechanics to simulate a real fight. Ran loses to a gamer named Kengo Bito who taunts her for losing before going on to fight against his rival, Takayasu Shimizu. The battle is projected on a large screen, showing Bito's avatar overwhelming Shimizu's until just before the final blow. At the strange behavior, spectators check on Bito and discover that he is dead.

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

=== Girl Clubbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Girl Clubbing Case|284-286]], Anime: [[Megure's Sealed Secret|217-218]]) ===
Ran and Sonoko shop for a sweater that Sonoko wants to buy for Makoto; Ran scold Sonoko when she realizes Sonoko wants to pass the sweater off as hand-knitted by her. Ran sends Sonoko ahead to join Kogoro and Conan at a pasta shop, where they had coincidentally encountered the police investigating serial attacks on Japanese women following the "ganguro" fashion with darkly tanned skin, bleached hair, turtlenecks, miniskirts and high platform boots. Ran gets turned around and ends up in the parking lot, where she discovers a fourth victim, dead.
[[File:Sonoko218.png|thumb|right|200px|Sonoko... saved!?]]
During the investigation, Sonoko and Ran point out that the victims are wearing a jacket that wasn't theirs, and Conan realizes the victims were attacked just after leaving somewhere warm—their cars. Sonoko leaves to put her shopping in the car and then use the toilet, attracting the attention of someone in the crowd. It turns out the culprit blames the victim wearing platform shoes while driving on the death of his son, and he is attacking any woman who drives with platform shoes. Sonoko is wearing platform shoes, and when she leaves the department store toilet the culprit is waiting to attack her. Sonoko screams and runs away, but manages to knock off the hat and scarf hiding his face, leaving him determined to kill her so she can't identify him. As Sonoko runs, her ankle twists under her and she falls. When the murderer attacks her, however, Inspector Megure arrives in the nick of time to protect her and confront the culprit. Megure was injured while protecting Sonoko, and at the hospital, Superintendent Matsumoto tells Ran and Sonoko the story of a girl Megure knew who impersonated a serial killer's victims and was gravely injured. Sonoko and Ran are moved to tears, thinking that the girl died, but it turns out that she survived and is now Megure's wife.

=== Murderous Pottery Class (Manga: [[Volume 30#Pottery Class Case|305-307]], Anime: [[The Murderous Pottery Class|228-229]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko228.png|thumb|left|200px|Sonoko looking at Ran's vessel.]]
Sonoko shows off to Ran what she made in pottery class, a small cup for her with Makoto's name on it and a large cup for Makoto with her name on it. Her purpose is to have Makato think of her every time he drinks from it, so that he can't forget her and fall in love with another woman. She invites Ran to join the pottery class as well, and Ran thinks of Shinichi and accepts. As Ran works on her project, Sonoko tries to have Ran confess what she's written on the cup, but Ran refuses. Meanwhile, Conan sneaks in to spy on them, but gets caught. Sonoko keeps teasing Ran as they continue working, until a strange crash leads Ran to investigate—but not before warning off Sonoko from checking on Ran's project. A murder has occurred, and Conan investigates to discover the culprit. On finding the truth, he uses "Deduction Queen Sonoko" to reveal the killer.

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

[[Kogoro Mouri]] receives an invitation to a Halloween cruise; the Halloween cruise is famous for hiring guests to star in a horror film. Sonoko lends her makeup skills to turn Kogoro into a vampire. Because Ran hates horror-themed things, Sonoko ends up going to party as Kogoro's guest, dressed as a witch. During the cruise, the party members are divided into groups; team "Devil" consists of Kogoro, Sonoko, and people disguised as a werewolf, a mummy, a medusa and an invisible man. During the party, the host is murdered by a crossbow arrow with a card identifying team devil attached. Sonoko investigates with Kogoro and both suspect the mummy, who has no card, but later it is revealed to have been a trick. Sonoko is shocked when the invisible man turns out to be Shinichi, who solves the case, although he is later revealed to have actually been [[Heiji Hattori]] in disguise.

Mysteriously, the couple's lady (the husband was on business trip) is seemingly missing and a few objects are left on the rooftop flowerbed.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends===
{{main|Suzuki family}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko hugging Ran.]]
Sonoko and [[Ran]] have been best friends ever since they were little.<ref name=MF3>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko is often there to help Ran whenever she is bullied by other school children, more often there than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was.<ref name=MF3 /><ref>Chapter 921</ref>They were often shown hanging out with each others on the way home after school. Sonoko usually invites Ran to join her on trips, family events (such as [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi's]] [[Kaitou Kid|Kid]] heists), other trips or activities<ref>The Bell Tree Express.</ref>, or simply just go shopping together. Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=e576>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

=== Others ===
==== Kaito Kid ====
[[File:701 4.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is really impressed with Kaitou Kid.]]
Sonoko thinks that [[Kaitou Kid]] is a really cool guy because of his quick and versatile actions when he is doing his thievery. She is also very much charmed by him, often daydreaming of how he will fight for her affections or fall hopelessly in love with her. This occasionally brings trouble because of Sonoko's infatuation with Kaitou Kid, most notably the time where her boyfriend Makoto thought he had to fight Kaitou Kid for her heart. In the end, Sonoko, although she flirts with Kid and often tries to catch his attention, is actually committed to her relationship with Makoto. This is even attested by Kaitou Kid, who told Makoto that he couldn't capture her heart because it belongs to Makoto.

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

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