'''{{nihongo|Conan Edogawa|江戸川コナン|Edogawa Konan}}''' is the alias used by [[Shinichi Kudo]] in his shrunken form. Shinichi took the appearance of his six year old self after being exposed to a prototype poison called [[APTX 4869]] which he had been forced to swallow by two men in black later revealed to be members of the [[Black Organization]].<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]]</ref> The poison deaged Shinichi's entire body except for his nervous system and therefore he still has the personality, memories, and incredible deductive ability of his teenage self. Conan's goal is to hunt down the Black Organization in the hope of finding an antidote to the APTX 4869. To do so he plans to make the washout detective [[Kogoro Mouri]] famous in hopes of attracting a case related to the Black Organization.

Conan is often treated as a separate character from Shinichi by fans, and often viewed as the main character of the series while Shinichi is viewed as a recurring character. He has become a popular figure in Japan and even appeared at numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other medias.

== Background ==
''Conan Edogawa'' is [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s alter ego. He did not exist prior to the chain of events, involving members of the [[Black Organization]], that led Shinichi to transform back into a child.

=== The Transformation ===
[[Image:APTX 4869 given to Shinichi.jpg|thumb|left|140px|Shinichi being drugged.]]
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi brings his friend [[Ran Mouri]] to [[Setting#Tropical_Land|Tropical Land]], a local theme park, to celebrate her victory in the Metropolitan Karate Championships. He later ends up solving a murder case there.<ref name="e1" /> As they are leaving, Shinichi witnesses a suspicious exchange between an unknown business man and [[Vodka|a man in black]] in a secluded area by the ferris wheel. While spying on the suspicious men, Shinichi does not notice [[Gin|another man in black]], who knocks him out from behind and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]]. They then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurred. Shinichi's body shrunk back to that of his six-year-old self.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 59: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> In desperation and confusion, Shinichi heads back to his house and runs into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. After a few attempts at proving he's in fact Shinichi, he finally succeeds in convincing the Professor. The latter warns him he must keep his identity secret as the [[Black Organization]] will surely try to kill him and others associated with him should they learn the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>
{{clearleft}}

=== Taking a new identity ===
Shinichi comes up with the alias Conan Edogawa using the mystery author names [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''''Edogawa''''' Rampo]] and pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's who then places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], owns a Detective Agency which may provide a chance for Conan to run into a case involving the Black Organization, however Kogoro is a terrible detective with little credibility. Using helpful gadgets that Agasa made, Conan sets out to improve Kogoro's detective reputation by solving cases for him while also hiding the truth that Conan is really the one solving cases. By knocking Kogoro out at crime scenes with a fast-acting [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer]] and using a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice modulator]] to relay deductions in Kogoro's voice, Conan creates 'Sleeping Kogoro'. The conceited Kogoro enjoys his newfound reputation and the money it brings in so much that he doesn't question why he is suddenly passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep.

=== Creation of the Detective Boys ===
Conan enrolls at [[Teitan Elementary]] to further protect his identity and makes friends with classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], who create the ''[[Detective Boys]]'' not long after.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref>

[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|200px|thumb|Conan stuns Kogoro with his wristwatch, ready to solve a case!]]

=== Solving cases ===
As Conan, Shinichi helps Ran's father solve cases by putting him to sleep and simulating Kogoro's voice using the special bowtie gadget Professor Agasa made for him. He also spends a good amount of time with his Detective Boys fellows and solves many small cases with them and sometimes in the company of Professor Agasa. In some situations, when there's only Ran, Sonoko, and himself, he will use Sonoko instead to solve the case at hand. Because of that, Sonoko eventually becomes another rather well-known "sleeping" detective although her reputation is only known to the local police investigation team and Sonoko's friends. In much later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterwards that "Shinichi-niichan told him it".

== Personality ==
As Conan, Shinichi tries to behave like a child. He refers to Ran as "Ran-neechan" (''nee-chan'' meaning older sister, a common nickname Japanese children give to teenagers and young adults they look up to), and refers to Shinichi as "Shinichi-niichan" (''nii-chan'' meaning older brother). He also refers to Kogoro as "Oji-san" or "Occhan" (both meaning Uncle), although he also does this as Shinichi. As Shinichi, he refers to Conan as usually "Conan-kun" or the "Kid in the Glasses". Shinichi treats Conan as a separate person completely, thinking for example, "changing back into Conan".

[[File:Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.jpg|thumb|195px|left|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]
Conan remains very close to Ran, who in return is very protective of him. However, because Ran is unaware of his true identity, Conan often finds himself in awkward situations with her, such as when she confessed her feeling for Shinichi to him and when she made him bathe with her at a hot spring.

Conan tried to speak in a child-like tone of voice when dealing with adults, but he often gets caught up in the current case and begins speaking like an adult, referring to advanced topics and using reasoning much too complex for a normal child. When this happens, he often tries to pass it off as "something [he] heard on TV". [[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|230px|right|Conan whispers to [[Detective Chiba|Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]] Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he called out for talking about either subject in too much detail, he tries to escape suspicion by saying it was something Shinichi told him about. Although as the series has progressed the adults around him have become more used to his "being quite smart for a child", causing him to behave more like himself around them, he still tries to pass as a normal child. The only police officers with whom Conan can speak in a professional manner are the [[FBI]], especially [[Jodie Starling]], [[Shuichi Akai]], [[James Black]], and Inspector [[Kansuke Yamato]] of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye.

Conan's intelligence remains intact even though he is shrunk to a child. As Shinichi, his deductive ability earned him the monikers "[[Wikipedia:Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force". Conan has extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases and escape tricky situations.

Conan tends to act more like himself around the [[Detective Boys]], even to the point that they find it odd when he acts like a child around adults. He will often play games like baseball with the Detective Boys, but he is too used to soccer to perform well and will even instinctively use soccer techniques, such as kicking in games that do not call for it. Because he is unfamiliar with popular games and TV shows, Genta and the others tend to think of him as dumb. This annoys Conan so much that he will secretly watch TV in the living room after Kogoro and Ran go to sleep to get more "practice" in.

== Appearance ==
[[Image:Conan white bow tie.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Conan wearing a white version of his voice-changing bow tie. In episode 505-506, and 520]]
Conan has dark brown hair which mostly hangs downwards just above his blue eyes, but there are also a few strands that stick up at the front and back of his head. Conan's usual outfit consists of a blue suit jacket with a single button and a pair of shorts, red trainers and white socks, even though he has taken to wearing more casual clothing as time goes on. He also wears a red bowtie and his dad's old glasses. Both these items were later [[Gadgets|specifically modified]] by Professor Agasa to include a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice changer]], [[Button Speaker|microphone]], and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|homing device]], to aid in Conan in his cases. His [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|red runners]] have also been modified to harness electric and magnetic fields to stimulate pressure points on Conan's foot, greatly enhancing his kicking power.

==Skills==
:''See also: [[Shinichi Kudo#Skills|Shinichi's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
All of Shinichi's detective skills carry over to his Conan form, although Conan does not the have the reputation Shinichi had. He has a keen eye for details, and can spot any "strange points", in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account. This comes from his photographic memory{{citation needed}}, of being able to remember every abstract of an investigation. Conan's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Conan has extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases; something he likely acquired from his incessant reading in his "first childhood".

As a child, Conan can attract less suspicion while investigating crime scenes, get away with searching people's personal property, and ask innocent questions without setting suspects on guard, although it comes with the drawback of not having Shinichi's authority or reputation.

=== Athletic ability ===
Conan is just as skilled as Shinichi in soccer, but a lot less powerful because he only has the strength of a young child. To make up for this, Conan uses Agasa's Power-enhancing kick shoes. Conan uses signature, powerful precision kick to knockout criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Like Shinichi, Conan's kick is accurate over distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing and snowboarding.

Conan also has some skill with firearms despite the recoil being much more severe for a child's body. He shoots out a bus window during a bus hijacking, and precisely grazes Ran's leg to render her useless as a hostage in the second movie.

Conan's nimbleness is especially noticeable in the non-[[canon]] movies. For example, in the sixth movie, Conan is seen to fight with various antagonists, and he even holds his own against Jack the Ripper, a notorious serial killer who bests even Ran in combat. In the fourteenth movie, Conan does a back flip on his skateboard in order to avoid being killed by the blimp's hijackers. Conan shows a proclivity for skateboarding. In the movies and anime, Conan can easily perform very complicated tricks and dodges with his skateboard at high speed.

=== First Aid ===
Conan has repeatedly dispensed first aid to stabbed/shot/cardiac/poisoned/hurt victims before the rescuers arrive.

=== Music ===
[[Image:Conan_singing.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Conan sings in the Karaoke.]]
Conan cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Conan has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody. In Episode 11: The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, he knows that the piano is in tune and deciphers a message at the end just by listening to the notes that are played. Haibara directly described Shinichi Kudo as perfect-pitched in the last scenes, of the twelfth Detective Conan movie [[Full Score of Fear]]. He also manages to replicate and sing dial tones for a phone, showing that the reason he can't sing is because he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 (Episode 614), Conan stated he isn't very knowledgeable about music but identified the untuned piano key whereupon Haibara joked about his sharp ears despite being tone-deaf.

Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in movie 12 of the 'Full Score of Fear' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

== Appellations ==
Although most people will call Conan by his name suffixed with ''-kun'', or simply ''kid'', a lot of the characters have different ways of calling him due to the special relationships they share. The following is a list of the different appellations for Conan (and the ones Conan gives in return) encountered in the series.

== Plot overview ==

=== Initial pursuit ===

After Shinichi becomes Conan, he sets out to find the men in black almost immediately. At the suggestion of Agasa, he moves in with Ran and Kogoro, hoping that cases related to them come by. Pretty soon, a case involving a woman name [[Akemi Miyano]] (using the alias Masami Hirota) appears. Akemi robs a bank for the men in black in the hopes that they will free her sister from their organization. Conan is unable to realize the case's connection to the organization until after the men in black have shot Akemi and left her for dead for trying to double cross them. In her dying moments, Akemi warns Conan of the danger of the organization.<ref>[[Volume 2#File 013 - The Missing Man|Volume 2, Files 13-16: "The Missing Man"]]</ref>

Conan runs across the men in black again on a bullet train, this time learning their codenames: [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].

At a game convention, Conan meets a third man in black named [[Tequila]], only to have him killed in an explosion meant for someone else.

=== Introduction of Ai Haibara===

As the story progresses, Conan later befriends biochemist [[Ai Haibara]]. Ai Haibara grew up within the Black Organization and is a former member of it along with her sister.<ref name="f178">[[Volume_18#File 178 - Code Name Sherry|Volume 18, File 178: "Code Name Sherry"]]</ref>

She is the creator of the APTX 4869 drug but took the drug in order to escape from the Black Organization. Conan has run into the Black Organization multiple times, but he fails in tracking them due to Gin's cleverness.

=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===

=== After Vermouth ===

=== The Phone Number of 'That Person' ===
After solving a case in a rich household, the culprit tells the phone number for the Leader of the Black Organization is the tune to the song of "[[Seven Children]]".

=== Returning Back to Shinichi ===

==== The First Comeback ====
Throughout the series Conan has returned back to normal. First he temporary returns to normal after drinking alcohol while infected with a cold.<ref>[[Diplomat Murder Case|Episodes 48-49: Diplomat Murder Case]].</ref>
He quickly turns back into Conan after solving the case. The next time was after taking the prototype antidote for APTX 4869.

==== Desperate revival ====
{{Main|Antidote (Prototype)}}
Haibara invented an [[Antidote (prototype)|antidote]], just a prototype, for the APTX 4869, and Conan first used it in [[Volume 26]] to conceal his identity, preventing Ran from suspecting he is Shinichi any further. Haibara disguised as Conan and appeared in front of the reverted Shinichi, cancelling out all of Ran's suspicions.<ref>[[The Desperate Revival|Episodes 191-193: The Desperate Revival]].</ref><ref>[[Volume 26#File 256 - Concealed Truth|Volume 26, Files 256-258: "Concealed Truth"]]</ref>

==== Shiragami case ====
The antidote prototype was again taken, this time accidentally in place of cough syrup. It wore off 24 hours later, with Haibara giving him another one to protect his identity. This time it wore off in a shortened 4 hours, once again interrupting the process of confession of feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 647 - The Lost Memory|Volumes 62-63, Files 647-654: "The Lost Memory"]]</ref>

==== London Arc ====
During the Holmes' Revelation arc in London, Conan took an antidote so he can go overseas, because "Conan Edogawa" does not exist in real life, and has no passport. Ran quickly deduces that Shinichi is in London as well. She asks some Londoners about a Japanese boy, and they give her directions, without specifying it was actually a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo in order to conceal his identity from Ran. During this time, he manages to confess his feelings to her. Luckily for Conan, Haibara asks Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo, his parents, to go to London and give him a third pill, as she guessed he would have used his spare one for Ran.<ref>[[Holmes' Revelation|Episode 616-621]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 71#Following Holmes|Volume 71, Files 743-751]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 72#Following Holmes|Volume 72, File 752]]</ref>

== Relationships analysis ==

=== Family & Friends ===

[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|Ran holding Conan.]]
====Ran Mouri====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
Although they are romantic interests as Shinichi and Ran, Conan and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share a brother/sister kind of relationship. Ran plays a nurturing protective role and treats Conan like a child version of Shinichi. They do a lot of activities together such as swimming, going to the movies or festivals, and more. Ran and Conan both look out for each other's wellbeing. Ran stands up for Conan during Kogoro's outbursts and destroys any criminals seeking to inflict harm on Conan with her karate. Conan lends an ear and advice when Ran is in an difficult situation or needs to vent, and he comforts and encourages her when she is feeling down, especially about Shinichi being away for so long. It is even likely that Ran unconsciously knows that Conan actually ''is'' Shinichi, even though she seems reluctant to follow that notion.<ref>Ran told Conan that if only he is Shinichi on Episode 308.</ref>
{{clearright}}

[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|Kogoro noticed Conan in the car.]]
====Kogoro Mouri====
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and Conan most often see each other as nuisances. Conan dislikes Kogoro's usually poor detective ability and case handling, slovenly personal habits, and overinflated ego. Kogoro's deduction doesn't seem to improve so Conan almost always needs to knock Kogoro out when he starts spouting off incorrect theories. Although in most cases Conan merely sees Kogoro as a drunk idiot, he often is impressed when Kogoro gets serious and actually gets the case right, so he will allow the "non-sleeping Kogoro" to take the spotlight. Kogoro views Conan as a freeloader who constantly gets underfoot and never fails to insinuate himself at cases, "interfere" with the scene, and pipe up with childish observations that consistently ruin Kogoro's deductions.
{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
Conan's parents, [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], like to push their child towards becoming an even better detective. They enjoy giving out challenges and sometimes without letting Conan know who's giving them: they disguised once to simulate a case and force Conan to discover their identities by his own means.

Yukiko loves to meddle in Conan's (and Shinichi's) love life as she will often make allusions such as Ran being her possible future daughter-in-law or Ai and Ayumi having feelings for Conan. He doesn't usually pay much attention to them. Once she has mentioned that Ai has romantic feelings for him because she looked at him ten times, saying that the only time a girl would do that is if she likes the boy or the boy has something on his face. Conan simply pushes it off as Ai checking on her "lab mouse," but at night, in bed, Conan asks Ai if he has something on his face.

Conan's mother helped him out once to keep his secret identity from being exposed to Ran by creating an alibi for him.
{{clearright}}

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[image:Agasa_and_Conan_investigating.png|thumb|right|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]
Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, like an uncle. Due to the fact that they both share the secret behind Shinichi's transformation and knowledge about the Black Organization, Conan often comes to him when in trouble or seeking for help. Agasa's willingness to help whenever possible makes Shinichi's life as Conan more convenient. He was the one who created most of Conan's gadgets, including his power shoes and tracking glasses. He willingly plays Conan's case solving mouthpiece when Conan lacks someone else convenient to use. When Conan needs something, like info from past cases for example, he usually asks Agasa to get it. Agasa often acts as a chauffeur because he is trustworthy and the only adult with a car regularly available.

Agasa often worries about Shinichi, especially when he thinks Shinichi might be going over his head. Agasa almost always responds positively to Shinichi's requests, but doesn't like it when Shinichi hides the reasons for it, especially if it is dangerous.
{{clearright}}

====Heiji Hattori====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals even after Kudo bests Heiji in their first case. However, after discovering Conan's real identity, Heiji starts to act like an older brother towards him much to the annoyance of Conan. Since then, the two have become rather close friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They tend to stick together on cases, although sometimes this is because Heiji forces the less enthusiastic Conan to come along. While fond of Heiji as a fellow detective he can relate to, Conan finds Heiji's antics more of an annoyance than anything. Much to Conan's chagrin, Heiji even convinces others that Conan is his disciple. Conan especially dislikes Heiji's dangerous habit of calling Conan 'Kudo' when others are present.

Heiji hasn't seemed to have gotten over the former rivalry as well as Kudo has, so he hates being to compared to Shinichi. Heiji gets especially annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better (or even equal), and will often go to great lengths to show "west" (Osaka) is better than "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives.

{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}
[[Ai Haibara]] is the third girl that seems to have somewhat romantic feelings for Conan/Shinichi, although she never truly admits it; indeed, it is a mystery just exactly what she feels for him, whether friendship or otherwise. Some people, such as [[Yukiko Kudo|Conan's mother]], have stated that she has feelings for Conan. It could be said that, because of their almost equal level of intelligence as well as similarities in their pasts (i.e. both victims of the [[APTX 4869]]), she finds it easier to talk to him.
{{clearright}}

====Ayumi Yoshida====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ayumi Yoshida}}
Conan grows to respect the little girl in his class for her sharp wit and observational skills, along with the other members of the [[Detective Boys]]. [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] in turn clearly seems to like Conan and isn't aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of him because of this.

====Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima====
[[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] sees Conan as a model, someone he looks up to. [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and more so Mitsuhiko, are often impressed by Conan's vast knowledge and incredible deduction skills. However, they both become quite jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi shows gestures of affection towards him (usually a small kiss on the cheek).

=== Law enforcement ===
====Police====
With the exception of a few inspectors, most listen to the little clues that Conan points out. After a while, Conan gets the attention of the whole Tokyo police department for noticing things even pros miss. [[Wataru Takagi]] in particular has taken to trusting Conan completely and doing whatever Conan asks him to without hesitation.

====FBI====
The FBI is one of the few minority that Conan acts normally around. Conan seems to place trust in the FBI, and occasionally helps in their operations.

====Jodie Starling====
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] nicknamed Conan, "Cool Kid" and Conan (despite being wary when he first met her) now places complete trust in Jodie. Jodie has also called Conan, informing of a new Black Organization member, Bourbon.

====Shuichi Akai====
[[Shuichi Akai|Akai]] has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. It may not take long before Akai figures out Conan and Shinichi are one and the same. Conan once says to Akai, "I'm glad you're an ally."

=== Black Organization ===
====Gin and Vodka====
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's stopping their operations, Gin has been shown to be curious who "that guy" is, "that guy" being Conan. Gin has tried to catch a glimpse of Conan's face in a helicopter in the movie, [[The Raven Chaser]], but failed after Conan successfully downed the helicopter. Conan seems to have a very bitter hatred towards them, and this only increases as more people are targeted by the Black Organization.

====Vermouth====
[[Vermouth]] seems to have great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet'. She also protects Conan probably because when she was disguising as a serial killer in New York, she was saved by Conan (Shinichi at the time) and Ran. When the Organization planned on killing Kogoro, and later Conan, she strongly objected to a point where Gin suspected whether Kogoro is related to Vermouth. Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned as opposed to Haibara. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he was able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

====Bourbon====
[[Tooru Amuro]] (codenamed Bourbon) has recently begun associating with the Mouri Detective Agency as Kogoro's "apprentice". Conan initially treated him in a somewhat friendly manner, even thinking that "another annoying person's showed up" when he learned Amuro would be joining Kogoro on cases. After learning of Amuro's membership in the Black Organization, though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near Ran. He's become more cautious and is somewhat confused by Amuro's helpful behavior, though he attempts to pretend nothing has changed.

=== Others ===
====Kaitou Kid====
Before being shrunk, Shinichi had encountered [[Kaitou Kid]] once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid.

Since then, Conan is usually a serious threat to Kid's plans and stops Kid often enough from escaping with the jewel that Conan has gained reputation in the press as Kid's "natural enemy". In several instances Conan appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. Appropriately, Kid seems to find Conan dangerous enough to warrant specific measures to keep the boy distracted. Conan does not seem to like Kid, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic".<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> However, if necessary, the two can put their rivalry aside (for a little while) and work together.<ref>[[Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces]]</ref> Conan has something of a gentleman's agreement with Kaitou Kid that he won't look for the thief outside of heists. In several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape mostly unhindered. This exchange of favors can sometimes become a bit unbalanced; Conan was perfectly willing to force Kaitou Kid against his will into facing a member of the [[Black Organization]] at gunpoint in a carriage filled with explosives.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref>

In the movies, it is implied that Kid knows Conan's identity; he even helps Conan maintain his cover by disguising himself as Shinichi so that a suspicious Ran would stop suspecting Conan. However, this has not been confirmed by Gosho Aoyama, nor has it been implied in the manga.

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity. None of them have ever betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], [[Yusaku Kudo]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], [[Heiji Hattori]], and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] of the Black Organization also knows about Conan's secret. Later in Episode 508 of the anime, [[Eisuke Hondou]] confirms Conan's identity as [[Shinichi Kudo]] straight from him. In manga chapter 812-814, [[Subaru Okiya]] (which he is [[Shuichi Akai]]) knows Conan is Shinichi. [[Masumi Sera]] may be suspicious that Conan is Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, and 14th movies also demonstrate that Kaitou Kid apparently knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. However, this has yet to be backed up by the original artist, Gosho Aoyama, in the manga or (as would follow) the anime main series.

== Gadgets ==
{{main|Gadgets}}
Professor Agasa has made many gadgets for Conan. The first one being is his wristwatch stun gun. He uses about every cases to knock out the great sleeping sleuth Kogoro Mouri, on about every cases they encounter, he has to be knocked out because, his deductions are just sometimes too insane. The second gadget would have to be his voice changing bow tie. With this gadget, Conan can alter his voice from high to low, or child to adult. This gadget has proven its self to be a great assistance to Conan because, when he knocks out his target he uses this to mimic their voice. Professor Agasa had made the next gadget to look like normal tennis shoes but with the turn of a dial, they strengthen Conan's feet allowing him to kick objects in order to knockout or stun the criminal. Along with the shoes, Professor Agasa made Conan a ball dispensing belt, which when pressing a button a fully inflated soccer ball appears. The tracker glasses are a special type of glasses made with bullet proof glass (as seen in the Movie 3: The Last Wizard of the Century). Another handy feature is that when pressing a button allow you to enhance a certain image zooming in on it, this has been found to be very useful to Conan because with this he can track down all of the Detective Badges. The Detective Boys Badges are the badges that allow the Detective Boys to communicate each other with built in radios in their badges. Professor Agasa made special watches just for the Detective Boys that has a built in light. Another gadget is his solar powered skateboard or snowboard that collects power from the sun and then at night, runs for 30 minutes. His last gadget is his handy dandy super stretch suspenders, which he uses to rescue Ran in Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target.

== Name origin ==
Gosho Aoyama (and Shinichi, in the story) got the name 'Conan Edogawa' from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories, and Edogawa Rampo, the pen name of Japanese mystery fiction writer Hirai Tarō. Hirai Tarō himself got the pen name "Edogawa Rampo" from a transliteration of "Edgar Allan Poe." Pronouncing Poe's name in a Japanese accent sounds like 'Edogawa Ranpo.'

== Trivia ==
* Conan's bad singing came to light as a joke after the anime began airing because Conan's voice actress [[Minami Takayama]] is a well-known singer. In [[Volume 15]] of the manga, Takayama herself is kidnapped and Conan, who sounds similar to her, tries to take her place at a concert. However, Conan learns that despite having similar voices, they sound completely different when it comes to singing.<ref>[[Volume 15|Volume 15, Files 144-146: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref>

* [[Image:EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]He owns two cellphones, the one he uses as Conan and one that he uses as Shinichi. He is also shown using different kinds of cellphones throughout the series.

* The Japanese word 'konnan' (pronounced the same as 'Conan') means 'difficulty' or 'distress.'

* Conan often uses the expression "Ah-le-le?" when he is trying to point out a clue, something that is usually said by Japanese gradeschoolers. The expression was even said by Kogoro in Episode 317 out of irritation at Conan.

* Conan/Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type.

=== File 818 - Mystery Train ("All Aboard!") ===

[[Vermouth]] is on the phone with [[Gin]]. Vermouth passes on the information that [[Bourbon]] came across, which is that [[Sherry]] was hiding in Gunma and was going to travel on the Bell Tree Express, a train own by Suzuki family which hosts a special mystery onboard. Vermouth recalls her encounter with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and her promise to let Sherry go. She justifies the upcoming attack on Sherry as Bourbon's job and asks Gin not to interfere before the train reaches its destination.

At the Bell Tree Express, Conan, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], and the Detective Boys including [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] prepare to board the train. Haibara still has a cold and has her cold mask on to hide her indentity on the platform. The Detective Boys learn that the train usually runs only once a year, but this year will be different because [[Jirokichi Suzuki]] plans to run it a month later in another attempt to lure out [[Kaitou Kid]]. Sonoko also plans to place her love letter to Kid in the train car so he can receive it. Suddenly [[Masumi Sera]] shows up, and she says she is interested in the deduction quiz that will take place in the train. Haibara notices her and cover herself with her jacket's hood.

Next, the group witnesses the arrival of more passengers. Satoru Andou of 8C is the first to arrive, and he is traveling with a client's picture with a solid gold frame. Taisaku Noto (8A) and Mari Idenami (8E) show their familiarity with the conductor. Natsue Komino (8D), an old lady in a wheelchair, is accompanied by her maid Hiroka Sumitomo. And lastly, the angry Etsuto Murobashi appears (7B), and he accosts the conductor to demand his usual room in car 8. [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] (8B) introduces himself to the group after adjusting his mustache into the style of Hercule Poirot, explaining to him that his daughter, Ran, is a friend of the owner of the train, so he got a room on the luxury car. The passengers show shock reaction upon hearing his name.

In Agasa's room, 6B, Conan and the Detective Boys are chatting. Someone knocks on their door. They find a mystery card lying there, telling them they have received the role of detective that will investigate the murder which will occur in room 7B. The group (excluding Agasa) goes to 7B and witnesses a supposed murder incident. A masked man with hood shoots Etsuto Murobashi. They run after the murderer, but he gets away.

Later, they run into a train conductor, and learn that the quiz is suppose to happen an hour later. Conan, with a shocked expression, runs back to 7B only to found out that Ran, Sonoko, and Sera are there instead, and to complicate thing further, Ran's group tell them they're in 8B. It seems that after the murder happened, Car 7 disappear into thin air.

Meanwhile, Haibara, who's slightly behind Conan group, follows them half-heartly, show a strong reaction when [[Scar Akai]] leaves one of the rooms. But Scar Akai, who is dressed in a formal outfit, does not notice her and walks in the opposite direction. Haibara catches a glimpse of him.

=== File 819 - Mystery Train (Tunnel) ===

Conan tries to convince the train conductor that something was wrong with the mystery murder that took place to no avail, nevertheless, they learn more about the nature of the train. Passengers can ring a bell which turns on a light above their door to summon the carriage attendant who sits in the hall. Additionally, each car has no indication of its number inside, only from outside can one tell the car number, a feature added by Jirokichi Suzuki to make the train more mysterious. Meanwhile, Haibara recalls her encounter with Scar Akai a moment ago. She thinks he has the "feeling" of Dai Moroboshi but doesn't understand why he has a burn mark.

Conan then recalls seeing Sera holding a card when they first ran into Ran's cabin. They go back to 7B and confront the girls with the correct conclusion: everything happened in 7B all along and the girls had lied that the room was 8B. Ran's party received the role of accomplices (assigned by the card that Sera held) They temporarily switched their room from 8B to 7B with Murobashi (who will wait in Ran's room, 8B) while the incident happened as part of the trick. As the Detective Boys followed Conan into the room, Sera notices that Haibara is with the group, and she says she wants to have a word with Haibara as well. Haibara starts to look scared, but the conversation is cut short because Scar Akai had been lurking outside the door. Sera demands to know who was there, but Scar Akai hides himself before Sera sees him.

After the trick is revealed, they return to Ran's original room, 8B, to inform Murobashi that their trick got exposed. They try to open the door, but it is chained shut and Murobashi is "sleeping" on the couch. Just then, Sera and Conan notice the gunpowder smell and break the chain link to open the door. They found Etsuto Murobashi was killed in a sealed room!

=== File 820 - Mystery Train (First Class) ===

Conan and Sera explain the reason why Murobashi's case could not be a suicide. Conan then receives a message from an unknown sender and tells the Detective Boys to go back to their room with Ran, and shouts angrily when they don't comply. Haibara thinks about the "ominous feeling" inside her, as well as Conan's tense behavior, as she clinging to Ran and wonders what is going on. Immediately, Scar Akai walks past and glares at Haibara which frightens her. [[Tooru Amuro]] also appears right behind Scar Akai, and he explains to Ran how he got a train ticket from online bidding. This happens in the hallway, and the door nearest to the conversation is cracked open so that [[Subaru Okiya]] can watch them silently. Okiya is also accompanied by a woman resembling Vermouth with a hat pulled low over her face, who is seemingly busy with her cellphone. He says to her that, "Heaven is siding with us".

Jirokichi Suzuki, who waits at Nagoya station, orders the train to head there without stopping, so he can capture the murderer himself. Without any other choice, Kogoro, Conan, and Sera go to interrogate the passengers. Ran, Sonoko, Agasa, and the Detective Boys return to their room. [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] brings up the subject of the woman who saved them from the fire in the last case. It is revealed that Mitsuhuko had sent a video recording of the woman to Kogoro, so Kogoro could find and thank her. Kogoro also thought of uploading the video to the internet. The woman is actually [[Shiho Miyano]]. This causes Haibara to panic and think her ominous feeling is due to [[Black Organization]] members on the train.

Jirokichi calls a meeting with the Nagoya Police directing them to restore his and their honor by capturing the murderer post haste. Gin and Vodka watch the pep rally from behind a column on the Nagoya platform. Gin receives an text from Vermouth that [[Sherry]] is indeed boarded the train.

=== File 821 - Mystery Train (Junction) ===
[[File:Sera is akai sister.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sera call Scar Akai "Shuu nii".]]
Conan receives another unknown message. When Sera asks about and tries to look at the message, Conan quickly hides it and says he is just looking up the article on the past case that involves the victim and the passengers. Haibara also receives a message from an unknown address who claim to be Vermouth, asking, "Are you ready?" Haibara makes an excuse to go out. Ran notices her strange behavior and tries but fails to follow her.

Alone, Haibara recalls the [[Elena_Miyano#Tapes_left_for_Shiho|tape left by her mother]], [[Elena Miyano]], which talks about Haibara's parents starting a drug project that will require them to leave Shiho and Akemi behind, a project they call "[[APTX 4869|Silver Bullet]]". Haibara then regrets that she misunderstood and that the drug was something that shouldn't have been made. She looks at the antidote to APTX 4869 that she is holding and decides to take it so that she can avoid involving those with her in the Black Organization's plot to capture or kill her. Before she can take it, Okiya confronts Haibara, commenting that he can predict the "[[Akemi Miyano|sisters]]" without fail, and invites her to "enter our area". Haibara runs away from him instead, thinking she can't be killed while in a shrunken state.

Conan is still investigating the case. He asks the suspects to be filmed while running. Sera leaves the group, intending to take the recordings to the Detective Boys to ask them which looks most like the masked suspect they chased earlier. On the way, Amuro notices her from a room and contacts someone with his cellphone. Scar Akai then walks past the mysterious woman who had come with Okiya. The woman says something to Scar Akai as he passes which startles him. But before he can follow her, Sera confronts him and asks, "Who are you?" Scar Akai smiles and tells Sera, "you haven't changed a bit." and he reveals his face to her. Sera, surprised and confused, responds with "Shuu-nii". (nii is Japanese suffix to call an older brother).

=== File 822 - Mystery Train (Interception) ===
She questions Scar Akai, stating that she heard that Akai had died. Sera and Scar Akai's confrontation ends abruptly when Scar Akai knocks Sera unconscious with a taser. Scar Akai then replies that Sera's response was the one he wanted to hear.
<spoiler>
Elsewhere, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro to begin his deduction show. He accuses '''Satoru Andou''' of being the culprit.
</spoiler>
Amuro meanwhile appears by the suspects and helps explain his "sensei's" deductions. Ran receives a message from Haibara's address, saying she is fine and not to worry. Ran looks suspiciously at the message and still wants to keep looking for her but Agasa stops her.

Scar Akai goes to look at the passenger list left at the seat of one of the attendants. He leaves when the conductor stops him. It is revealed that under the conductor's chair is a mysterious canister. Scar Akai then listens to Ran's conversation in 6B with a bugging device.

While the deduction show still continues, Scar Akai enters the room belonging to the mysterious lady and throws her luggage out the window. The mysterious woman appears at the door and tells Scar Akai that the dress in the luggage was her favorite. The mysterious woman reveals herself to be [[Yukiko Kudo]] by naming Scar Akai as her old friend, "[[Sharon Vineyard|Sharon]]". Scar Akai rips his mask off and confirms Yukiko's deduction that he is none other than Vermouth.

=== File 823 - Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke) ===
[[File:Amuro is bourbon.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Tooru Amuro reveals his codename.]]
After revealing themselve to one another, Vermouth shows surprise that Yukiko is on the train too. Yukiko brings up the fact that Vermouth doesn't age. Vermouth asks about the words Yukiko said in the corridor when Vermouth past her as Scar Akai, which Yukiko implies that "Shin-chan's"' team is one step ahead of Vermouth. Namely, an unconciousness Sera has been taken back to her own room (by Okiya). Vermouth wonders how they could manage that, because Conan is occupied by deduction show and Yukiko is talking to her. (She doesn't know that Okiya is on the train as well.) Yukiko replies by saying they have a "special guest" on board.
<spoiler>
Meanwhile, in the deduction scene, Andou admits his crime and explain his motive. His wife was killed in the fire. Etsuto Murobashi is responsible for setting it up so he can steals a valuable picture in the mansion unnoticed.
</spoiler>

Yukiko boasts to Vermouth that they got a hold of Vermouth's weak points, which is Vermouth that doesn't want anyone, including her partner on the train, to know that Conan and Haibara shrunk from the [[APTX 4869]]. Also, Vermouth had ordered software from CG programmer, [[Suguru Itakura]] that probably is related to the de-aging. Yukiko also showed her surprise that Vermouth had a fight with Itakura on the film set even though Sharon is known for her consideration for the staff. Vermouth responds to Yukiko's boast by saying she is the one who saw through Yukiko's team's plan. Vermouth deducts that they will try to fake Shiho Miyano's death so the Black Organization will let go of her for good. Vermouth explains then that Haibara can't be shown dead in her child body because it will cause the Detective Boys to panic and cry, which would bring the Black Organization's attention to them as Sherry's acquaintances. But if Haibara dies in her original body (played by Yukiko with makeup) and those who know her secret keep quiet about that, then the Detective Boys will be none the wiser. This scene will also result in heavily checking the passengers' belongings upon disembarkment and the Black Organization won't be able to take "Sherry's" body away to confirm her identity. Vermouth tells Yukiko that's not only Yukiko's luggage that she disposed of, but the bullet-proof vest with blood contraption that she hid in the basin closet as well. Yukiko say the two are even because even Vermouth sees though her plan but hasn't found Haibara. Vermouth reveals her trick to smoke Haibara out by detonating mutilple smoke bombs she placed earlier. (The bombs can be seen under the attendent's seat and also in the crime scene.)

At the deduction scene, Amuro is the first to notice the smoke, concludes the train is on fire and tells everyone to evacuate to the front of the train. The suspects, who are pyrophobics after surviving the mansion fire incident, become panicked and run. But Conan has to wake up Kogoro and urges Komino and Sumitomo of room D to hurry up and leave. Next, Vermouth correctly deduces that Haibara won't escape the fire to the front like everyone else, but will go in the opposite direction. Then Haibara is shown, now in her original body, running through the smoke past the victim's room (7B). A voice from behind states that Shiho is "as expected of Hell's Angel's daughter" that she is "very much alike". The voice belongs to Amuro, who introduces himself to Shiho with his codename, [[Bourbon]].

=== File 824 - Mystery Train (Final Destination) ===
[[File:Okiya is Akai 824.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Subaru Okiya is revealed to be Shuichi Akai as he leaves the train.]]

Ran meets Kogoro and asks him where Haibara and Sera are (she assumes he'd know because they should pass his deduction site at some point), but Kogoro doesn't know. The train conductor tries to calm the passengers down from panic about the fire and tells them that the staff has yet to know the full details on the situation but will try to find out as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Vermouth continues to predict Sherry's movement that she will head to the back of train and be killed by the Organization in a silent fashion, rather than involving her friends. Conan then phones Yukiko to inform her that he can't find Haibara anywhere. Vermouth grabs Yukiko's phone away and impersonates her on the phone, telling Conan that Haibara probably escaped to the front like everyone else. Vermouth then receives a message from Bourbon confirming that Sherry is indeed in carriage 8. She then boasts to Yukiko that's it's her team that has the advantage.

In carriage 8, Bourbon tells Sherry he has met her parents and sister. Sherry says she has heard about him and knows he is a rival to Moroboshi Dai, [[Akemi]]'s lover. Bourbon says Dai was an FBI mole, as he suspected. When he heard that Dai/Akai was dead, he didn't believe it at first and enlists Vermouth's help to disguise himself as Akai, hanging around people who knew Akai to observe their reactions. However, this time he had Vermouth disguise as Akai in place of him. He comes to the conclusion that Akai is really dead.

At the Nagoya train station, Gin comments that the presence of the Jirokichi and Aichi police only make the explosion seem like an attempt on their lives, which covers the Black Orgainzation's intention. He then becomes surprised when Vodka informs him Vermouth was asking for more explosives for the plan, without telling him the purpose.

Bourbon, meanwhile, reveals his plan to take Sherry back to the Black Organization alive. He'll have her step inside the storage hold, knock her out, bomb the carriage link to seperate the storage hold form the rest of the train, then have a helicopter on his side take her away. Sherry refuses cooperate, stating that the storage hold is full of explosives, causing Bourbon to realize that Vermouth had altered the plan, wanting to kill Sherry from the start. Sherry steps away behind the door, while a mysterious figure appears behind Bourbon, obscured by smoke. Bourbon asks if the figure is Vermouth; the mysterious figure throws a hand grenade at him. Bourbon, surprised at this, asks who the person is. The figure is revealed to the readers (but not to Bourbon) that he has Shuichi Akai's face, without the scar, and dresses in an outfit like those of Okiya Subaru's, wearing Sera's hat. The grenade explodes, interruping their one-sided conversation. The storage hold is seperated from the train, and seconds later, it explodes, triggered by Vermouth's cellphone.

Vermouth explains to Yukiko she purposefully detonated the second bomb having heard the first one (which confirmed that the storage hold was separated from the train), making sure the explosion wouldn't cause the train to derail. Vermouth leaves the room while Yukiko begins frantically calling for Haibara, but she stops immediately after Vermouth is out of sight. Bourbon is left wondering who the figure was, but he seems to have an idea.

The train stops and the passengers disembark. Vermouth phones Gin about the situation, in which Bourbon claims he saw Sherry die in the explosion; Gin shows doubt about Sherry's survival. Gin points out that Vermouth wanted an explosion on the train so the train couldn't reach its destination at Nagoya (where Gin was waiting). Vermouth tells him they have to be questioned, along with other passengers and that he should be satisfied enough hearing that Sherry is dead. Vermouth hangs up and overhears the Detective Boys talk to Agasa (who has Haibara sleeping on his back) about how they found Haibara in room 7B. What happened was that Haibara got dizzy after taking the drug for her cold and decided to rest there. The room was empty due to it being a crime scene. Vermouth realizes Yukiko's team figured that Haibara would go there, so they waited for her there. Conan's phone call to Yukiko was just an act to keep Vermouth in Yukiko's room while they took Haibara to saftey. But Vermouth can't figure out who the woman who was supposedly killed in front of Bourbon is.

<spoiler>
Vermouth then figured out Kaitou Kid's involvement after overhearing Sonoko voice her frustration to Ran that Kaitou Kid won't be able to board the train after the explosion. Vermouth also overheard Conan on the phone with Kaitou Kid, apologizing to him for draging him into a situation with guns and bombs. Kaitou Kid is shown leaving the exploding train on his hang-glider, the gadget Conan deduced Kid would hide in the storage room in the first place. It is revealed in a flashback that Conan had deduced Kid's identity. He disguised as Hiroka Sumitomo (the maid) and had his accomplice disguised as Natsue Komino (The wheelchair lady). His accomplice, heavily hinted to be [[Konosuke Jii]], can't mimic the voice of the lady, and relies on Kid to voice both of them. He just mouths the words (similar to when Conan solves case as Agasa). So when Conan has Sumitomo run in the corridor, Komino can't speak. Conan has the advantage of being short (looking from below) and saw through Jii's act easily, as well as their reaction about the fire, which wouldn't match the reaction of a pyrophobic.

Conan brings up the point that he purposefully overlooked Kid's actions to avoid being involved with the case as leverage to ask Kid for help. Conan shows him a video of Shiho Miyano and has Kid disguise as her. Conan tells him to be careful because guns and explosives are involved. Conan finishes his conversation by asking Kid to return his cellphone to the detective agency. Kid, annoyed, comments that Conan should be in debt to him for helping, rather than the other way around.

Because of the explosion, the train is brought to an early stop and the passengers disembark so they can be questioned by the police at the station. Konosuke Jii, Kaitou Kid's assistant, has removed his old woman disguise because he is unable to speak without Kid to assist him.<ref>File 824, pg 16, upper right panel behind Vermouth.</ref> Sera tries to figure out what's going on as Ran return her hat which she found in the corridor. Bourbon watches them silently and then asks Vermouth to give him the files from before and after Akai's death one more time. Vermouth agrees and Bourbon thinks he must reopen his investigation from "square one". Lastly, Subaru Okiya, watching Vermouth and Bourbon from behind, opens one of his eyes for the first time to reveal his Shuichi Akai-like eyes.

=== File 818 - Mystery Train ("All Aboard!") ===

[[Vermouth]] is on the phone with [[Gin]]. Vermouth passes on the information that [[Bourbon]] came across, which is that [[Sherry]] was hiding in Gunma and was going to travel on the Bell Tree Express, a train own by Suzuki family which hosts a special mystery onboard. Vermouth recalls her encounter with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and her promise to let Sherry go. She justifies the upcoming attack on Sherry as Bourbon's job and asks Gin not to interfere before the train reaches its destination.

At the Bell Tree Express, Conan, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], and the Detective Boys including [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] prepare to board the train. Haibara still has a cold and has her cold mask on to hide her indentity on the platform. The Detective Boys learn that the train usually runs only once a year, but this year will be different because [[Jirokichi Suzuki]] plans to run it a month later in another attempt to lure out [[Kaitou Kid]]. Sonoko also plans to place her love letter to Kid in the train car so he can receive it. Suddenly [[Masumi Sera]] shows up, and she says she is interested in the deduction quiz that will take place in the train. Haibara notices her and cover herself with her jacket's hood.

Next, the group witnesses the arrival of more passengers. Satoru Andou of 8C is the first to arrive, and he is traveling with a client's picture with a solid gold frame. Taisaku Noto (8A) and Mari Idenami (8E) show their familiarity with the conductor. Natsue Komino (8D), an old lady in a wheelchair, is accompanied by her maid Hiroka Sumitomo. And lastly, the angry Etsuto Murobashi appears (7B), and he accosts the conductor to demand his usual room in car 8. [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] (8B) introduces himself to the group after adjusting his mustache into the style of Hercule Poirot, explaining to him that his daughter, Ran, is a friend of the owner of the train, so he got a room on the luxury car. The passengers show shock reaction upon hearing his name.

In Agasa's room, 6B, Conan and the Detective Boys are chatting. Someone knocks on their door. They find a mystery card lying there, telling them they have received the role of detective that will investigate the murder which will occur in room 7B. The group (excluding Agasa) goes to 7B and witnesses a supposed murder incident. A masked man with hood shoots Etsuto Murobashi. They run after the murderer, but he gets away.

Later, they run into a train conductor, and learn that the quiz is suppose to happen an hour later. Conan, with a shocked expression, runs back to 7B only to found out that Ran, Sonoko, and Sera are there instead, and to complicate thing further, Ran's group tell them they're in 8B. It seems that after the murder happened, Car 7 disappear into thin air.

Meanwhile, Haibara, who's slightly behind Conan group, follows them half-heartly, show a strong reaction when [[Scar Akai]] leaves one of the rooms. But Scar Akai, who is dressed in a formal outfit, does not notice her and walks in the opposite direction. Haibara catches a glimpse of him.

=== File 819 - Mystery Train (Tunnel) ===

Conan tries to convince the train conductor that something was wrong with the mystery murder that took place to no avail, nevertheless, they learn more about the nature of the train. Passengers can ring a bell which turns on a light above their door to summon the carriage attendant who sits in the hall. Additionally, each car has no indication of its number inside, only from outside can one tell the car number, a feature added by Jirokichi Suzuki to make the train more mysterious. Meanwhile, Haibara recalls her encounter with Scar Akai a moment ago. She thinks he has the "feeling" of Dai Moroboshi but doesn't understand why he has a burn mark.

Conan then recalls seeing Sera holding a card when they first ran into Ran's cabin. They go back to 7B and confront the girls with the correct conclusion: everything happened in 7B all along and the girls had lied that the room was 8B. Ran's party received the role of accomplices (assigned by the card that Sera held) They temporarily switched their room from 8B to 7B with Murobashi (who will wait in Ran's room, 8B) while the incident happened as part of the trick. As the Detective Boys followed Conan into the room, Sera notices that Haibara is with the group, and she says she wants to have a word with Haibara as well. Haibara starts to look scared, but the conversation is cut short because Scar Akai had been lurking outside the door. Sera demands to know who was there, but Scar Akai hides himself before Sera sees him.

After the trick is revealed, they return to Ran's original room, 8B, to inform Murobashi that their trick got exposed. They try to open the door, but it is chained shut and Murobashi is "sleeping" on the couch. Just then, Sera and Conan notice the gunpowder smell and break the chain link to open the door. They found Etsuto Murobashi was killed in a sealed room!

=== File 820 - Mystery Train (First Class) ===

Conan and Sera explain the reason why Murobashi's case could not be a suicide. Conan then receives a message from an unknown sender and tells the Detective Boys to go back to their room with Ran, and shouts angrily when they don't comply. Haibara thinks about the "ominous feeling" inside her, as well as Conan's tense behavior, as she clinging to Ran and wonders what is going on. Immediately, Scar Akai walks past and glares at Haibara which frightens her. [[Tooru Amuro]] also appears right behind Scar Akai, and he explains to Ran how he got a train ticket from online bidding. This happens in the hallway, and the door nearest to the conversation is cracked open so that [[Subaru Okiya]] can watch them silently. Okiya is also accompanied by a woman resembling Vermouth with a hat pulled low over her face, who is seemingly busy with her cellphone. He says to her that, "Heaven is siding with us".

Jirokichi Suzuki, who waits at Nagoya station, orders the train to head there without stopping, so he can capture the murderer himself. Without any other choice, Kogoro, Conan, and Sera go to interrogate the passengers. Ran, Sonoko, Agasa, and the Detective Boys return to their room. [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] brings up the subject of the woman who saved them from the fire in the last case. It is revealed that Mitsuhuko had sent a video recording of the woman to Kogoro, so Kogoro could find and thank her. Kogoro also thought of uploading the video to the internet. The woman is actually [[Shiho Miyano]]. This causes Haibara to panic and think her ominous feeling is due to [[Black Organization]] members on the train.

Jirokichi calls a meeting with the Nagoya Police directing them to restore his and their honor by capturing the murderer post haste. Gin and Vodka watch the pep rally from behind a column on the Nagoya platform. Gin receives an text from Vermouth that [[Sherry]] is indeed boarded the train.

=== File 821 - Mystery Train (Junction) ===
[[File:Sera is akai sister.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sera call Scar Akai "Shuu nii".]]
Conan receives another unknown message. When Sera asks about and tries to look at the message, Conan quickly hides it and says he is just looking up the article on the past case that involves the victim and the passengers. Haibara also receives a message from an unknown address who claim to be Vermouth, asking, "Are you ready?" Haibara makes an excuse to go out. Ran notices her strange behavior and tries but fails to follow her.

Alone, Haibara recalls the [[Elena_Miyano#Tapes_left_for_Shiho|tape left by her mother]], [[Elena Miyano]], which talks about Haibara's parents starting a drug project that will require them to leave Shiho and Akemi behind, a project they call "[[APTX 4869|Silver Bullet]]". Haibara then regrets that she misunderstood and that the drug was something that shouldn't have been made. She looks at the antidote to APTX 4869 that she is holding and decides to take it so that she can avoid involving those with her in the Black Organization's plot to capture or kill her. Before she can take it, Okiya confronts Haibara, commenting that he can predict the "[[Akemi Miyano|sisters]]" without fail, and invites her to "enter our area". Haibara runs away from him instead, thinking she can't be killed while in a shrunken state.

Conan is still investigating the case. He asks the suspects to be filmed while running. Sera leaves the group, intending to take the recordings to the Detective Boys to ask them which looks most like the masked suspect they chased earlier. On the way, Amuro notices her from a room and contacts someone with his cellphone. Scar Akai then walks past the mysterious woman who had come with Okiya. The woman says something to Scar Akai as he passes which startles him. But before he can follow her, Sera confronts him and asks, "Who are you?" Scar Akai smiles and tells Sera, "you haven't changed a bit." and he reveals his face to her. Sera, surprised and confused, responds with "Shuu-nii". (nii is Japanese suffix to call an older brother).

=== File 822 - Mystery Train (Interception) ===
She questions Scar Akai, stating that she heard that Akai had died. Sera and Scar Akai's confrontation ends abruptly when Scar Akai knocks Sera unconscious with a taser. Scar Akai then replies that Sera's response was the one he wanted to hear.
<spoiler>
Elsewhere, Conan tranquilizes Kogoro to begin his deduction show. He accuses '''Satoru Andou''' of being the culprit.
</spoiler>
Amuro meanwhile appears by the suspects and helps explain his "sensei's" deductions. Ran receives a message from Haibara's address, saying she is fine and not to worry. Ran looks suspiciously at the message and still wants to keep looking for her but Agasa stops her.

Scar Akai goes to look at the passenger list left at the seat of one of the attendants. He leaves when the conductor stops him. It is revealed that under the conductor's chair is a mysterious canister. Scar Akai then listens to Ran's conversation in 6B with a bugging device.

While the deduction show still continues, Scar Akai enters the room belonging to the mysterious lady and throws her luggage out the window. The mysterious woman appears at the door and tells Scar Akai that the dress in the luggage was her favorite. The mysterious woman reveals herself to be [[Yukiko Kudo]] by naming Scar Akai as her old friend, "[[Sharon Vineyard|Sharon]]". Scar Akai rips his mask off and confirms Yukiko's deduction that he is none other than Vermouth.

=== File 823 - Mystery Train (Releasing Smoke) ===
[[File:Amuro is bourbon.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Tooru Amuro reveal his codename.]]
After revealing themselve to one another, Vermouth shows surprise that Yukiko is on the train too. Yukiko brings up the fact that Vermouth doesn't age. Vermouth asks about the words Yukiko said in the corridor when Vermouth past her as Scar Akai, which Yukiko implies that "Shin-chan's"' team is one step ahead of Vermouth. Namely, an unconciousness Sera has been taken back to her own room (by Okiya). Vermouth wonders how they could manage that, because Conan is occupied by deduction show and Yukiko is talking to her. (She doesn't know that Okiya is on the train as well.) Yukiko replies by saying they have a "special guest" on board.
<spoiler>
Meanwhile, in the deduction scene, Andou admits his crime and explain his motive. His wife was killed in the fire. Etsuto Murobashi is responsible for setting it up so he can steals a valuable picture in the mansion unnoticed.
</spoiler>

Yukiko boasts to Vermouth that they got a hold of Vermouth's weak points, which is Vermouth that doesn't want anyone, including her partner on the train, to know that Conan and Haibara shrunk from the [[APTX 4869]]. Also, Vermouth had ordered software from CG programmer, [[Suguru Itakura]] that probably is related to the de-aging. Yukiko also showed her surprise that Vermouth had a fight with Itakura on film set even though Sharon is known for her consideration for staffs. Vermouth responds to Yukiko's boast by saying she is the one who saw through Yukiko team's plan. Vermouth deducts that they will try to fake Shiho Miyano's death so the Black Organization will let go of her for good. Vermouth explains then that Haibara can't be shown dead in her child body because it will cause the Detective Boys to panic and cry, which would bring the Black Organization's attention to them as Sherry's acquaintances. But if Haibara dies in her original body (played by Yukiko with makeup) and those who know her secret keep quiet about that, then the Detective Boys will be none the wiser. This scene will also result in heavily checking the passengers' belonging upon disembarkment and the Black Organization won't be able to take "Sherry's" body away to confirm her identity. Vermouth tells Yukiko that's not only Yukiko's lugguage that she disposed off, but the bullet-proof vest with blood contraption that she hidden in basin closet as well. Yukiko say the two are even because even Vermouth sees though her plan but hasn't found Haibara. Vermouth reveals her trick to smoke Haibara out by detonating mutilple smoke bombs she placed earlier. (The bombs can be seen under the attendent's seat and also in the crime scene.)

At the deduction scene, Amuro is the first to notice the smoke, concludes the train is on fire and tells everyone to evacuate to the front of the train. The suspects, who are pyrophobics after surviving the mansion fire incident become panicked and run. But Conan has to wake up Kogoro and urges Komino and Sumitomo of room D to hurry up and leave. Next, Vermouth correctly deducts that Haibara won't escape the fire to the front like everyone else, but will go in the opposite direction. Then Haibara is shown, now in her original body, running through the smoke past the victim's room (7B). A voice from behind states that Shiho is "as expected of Hell's Angel's daughter" that she is "very much alike". The voice belongs to Amuro, who introduces himself to Shiho with his codename, [[Bourbon]].

=== File 824 - Mystery Train (Final Destination) ===
[[File:Okiya is Akai 824.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Subaru Okiya is revealed to be Shuichi Akai as he leaves the train.]]

Ran meets Kogoro and asks him where Haibara and Sera are (she assumes he'd know because they should pass his deduction site at some point), but Kogoro doesn't know. The train conductor tries to calm the passengers down from panic about the fire and tells them that the staff has yet to know the full details on the situation but will try to find out as soon as possible.

Meanwhile, Vermouth continues to predict Sherry's movement that she will head to the back of train and be killed by the Organization in a silent fashion, rather than involving her friends. Conan then phones Yukiko to inform her that he can't find Haibara anywhere. Vermouth grabs Yukiko's phone away and impersonates her on the phone, telling Conan that Haibara probably escaped to the front like everyone else. Vermouth then receives a message from Bourbon confirming that Sherry is indeed in carriage 8. She then boasts to Yukiko that's it's her team that has the advantage.

In carriage 8, Bourbon tells Sherry he has met her parents and sister. Sherry says she has heard about him and knows he is a rival to Moroboshi Dai, [[Akemi]]'s lover. Bourbon says Dai was an FBI mole, as he suspected. When he heard that Dai/Akai was dead, he didn't believe it at first and enlists Vermouth's help to disguise himself as Akai, hanging around people who knew Akai to observe their reactions. However, this time he had Vermouth disguise as Akai in place of him. He comes to the conclusion that Akai is really dead.

At the Nagoya train station, Gin comments that the presence of the Jirokichi and Aichi police only make the explosion seem like an attempt on their lives, which covers the Black Orgainzation's intention. He then becomes surprised when Vodka informs him Vermouth was asking for more explosives for the plan, without telling him the purpose.

Bourbon, meanwhile, reveals his plan to take Sherry back to the Black Organization alive. He'll have her step inside the storage hold, knock her out, bomb the carriage link to seperate the storage hold form the rest of the train, then have a helicopter on his side take her away. Sherry refuses cooperate, stating that the storage hold is full of explosives, causing Bourbon to realize that Vermouth had altered the plan, wanting to kill Sherry from the start. Sherry steps away behind the door, while a mysterious figure appears behind Bourbon, obscured by smoke. Bourbon asks if the figure is Vermouth; the mysterious figure throws a hand grenade at him. Bourbon, surprised at this, asks who the person is. The figure is revealed to the readers (but not to Bourbon) that he has Shuichi Akai's face, without the scar, and dresses in an outfit like those of Okiya Subaru's, wearing Sera's hat. The grenade explodes, interruping their one-sided conversation. The storage hold is seperated from the train, and seconds later, it explodes, triggered by Vermouth's cellphone.

Vermouth explains to Yukiko she purposefully detonated the second bomb having heard the first one (which confirmed that the storage hold was separated from the train), making sure the explosion wouldn't cause the train to derail.

<spoiler>
Vermouth then figured out Kaitou Kid's involvement after overhearing Sonoko voice her frustration to Ran that Kaitou Kid won't be able to board the train after the explosion. Vermouth also overheard Conan on the phone with Kaitou Kid, apologizing to him for draging him into a situation with guns and bombs. Kaitou Kid is shown leaving the exploding train on his hang-glider, the gadget Conan deduced Kid would hide in the storage room in the first place. It is revealed in a flashback that Conan had deduced Kid's identity. He disguised as Hiroka Sumitomo (the maid) and had his accomplice disguised as Natsue Komino (The wheelchair lady). His accomplice, heavily hinted to be [[Konosuke Jii]], can't mimic the voice of the lady, and relies on Kid to voice both of them. He just mouths the words (similar to when Conan solves case as Agasa). So when Conan has Sumitomo run in the corridor, Komino can't speak. Conan has the advantage of being short (looking from below) and saw through Jii's act easily, as well as their reaction about the fire, which wouldn't match the reaction of a pyrophobic.

Conan brings up the point that he purposefully overlooked Kid's actions to avoid being involved with the case as leverage to ask Kid for help. Conan shows him a video of Shiho Miyano and has Kid disguise as her. Conan tells him to be careful because guns and explosives are involved. Conan finishes his conversation by asking Kid to return his cellphone to the detective agency. Kid, annoyed, comments that Conan should be in debt to him for helping, rather than the other way around.

Because of the explosion, the train is brought to an early stop and the passengers disembark so they can be questioned by the police at the station. Konosuke Jii, Kaitou Kid's assistant, has removed his old woman disguise because he is unable to speak without Kid to assist him.<ref>File 824, pg 16, upper right panel behind Vermouth.</ref> Sera tries to figure out what's going on as Ran return her hat which she found in the corridor. Bourbon watches them silently and then asks Vermouth to give him the files from before and after Akai's death one more time.

MagicConan14: /* Current status of the dub */

{{main|e1=[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funimation_Entertainment Funimation Entertainment]}}

'''Funimation Entertainment''' (previously known as '''Funimation Productions''', and usually stylized as '''FUNimation''') is an American entertainment company. Originally founded in 1994 by Gen Fukunaga, the company became a subsidiary of Navarre Corporation on May 11, 2005. Funimation produces, markets, and distributes [[anime]] and other entertainment properties in the United States and international markets. The company is headquartered in Flower Mound, Texas.

==Case Closed==
Funimation is in charge of providing the English dubbing of ''[[Detective Conan]]''. The show is known as "Case Closed" in the United States.

===Dubbing===
According to [[R. Bruce Elliott]], the english voice of [[Richard Moore]], the cast dubbed 130 episodes (123 if you go by the Japanese way,) and the first six movies. However, all of this was done in 2004. The cast also dubbed the video game, ''[[Case Closed: The Mirapolis Investigation]]''.

===Current status of the dub===
Funimation's convertion of the principal characters' names into Anglicized forms was heavily criticized by various parties. It is currently unknown if Funimation will continue dubbing the show, due to low sales of the DVD's, as well as low ratings when the show aired on [[wikipedia:Adult Swim|Adult Swim]]. However, season five of the show is currently a big seller at many retail outlets, even making the top ten list of most sold Funimation DVD's at Amazon.com.

'''{{nihongo|Detective Conan|名探偵コナン|Meitantei Konan, lit. Great Detective Conan}}''' is a Japanese detective [[manga]] series written and illustrated by [[Gosho Aoyama]]. It has been serialized in the Japanese manga anthology ''[[Magazines#Weekly Shōnen Sunday|Weekly Shōnen Sunday]]'' since 1994 and has been collected in seventy-four [[Glossary|Tankōbon]] volumes as of December 14th, 2011.

The manga has been adapted into an anime series by the animation studio [[Studios#TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsha]], directed by [[Kenji Kodama]] and [[Yasuichiro Yamamoto]], and is broadcast in Japan on [[TV Networks#Nippon Television Network Corporation|Nippon Television]], [[TV Networks#Yomiuri Telecasting Corporation|Yomiuri TV]] and [[TV Networks#Animax|Animax]]. The series debuted on January 8th, 1996 and has since broadcast 586 episodes as of September 4th, 2010. The series has seen high levels of popularity in both manga and anime formats in Japan since its reception, and has also been adapted into fifteen [[Glossary|Golden Week]] movies, with the first released on April 17th, 1997 and since then followed with a movie released each year. Ten of the movies held a top 10 box office position in the year they were screened. In addition, five [[OVAs#Magic_Files|Magic Files]] related to the movies and twelve [[OVAs|Original Video Animations]] have been released.

==Story summary==
[[Image:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]
The story follows the adventures of [[Shinichi Kudo]] (also known as Jimmy Kudo in Case Closed), a young detective prodigy who was inadvertently shrunk into a child's body due to a [[APTX 4869|poison]] he was force-fed by members of a [[Black Organization|criminal syndicate]]. Neighbor and family friend [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] strongly suggested Shinichi hide his identity to prevent them from killing him and the people he cares about, so Shinichi takes the name [[Conan Edogawa]]. He goes to live with his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], and tries to use Kogoro's detective agency as a way to find the people who shrank him — without letting Ran figure out who he really is.

Detective Conan is known as "Case Closed" in North America. The name "''Case Closed''" results from concerns of copyright conflict of the name ''Detective Conan''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2004-02-05/funimation-renames-conan|accessdate=2008-08-18|publisher=Anime News Network|date=2007-10-09|title=FUNimation renames Conan}}</ref>

[[Viz Media]] licensed the manga series under the name for English-language publication in North America and released forty-three volumes as of July 10th, 2012. The American edition of the manga covers for volumes 44 and 45 are completed and set. Because Victor Gollancz Ltd canceled publication of Detective Conan after 15 volumes in UK, Viz Media continues to handle UK's distribution under the name Case Closed. [[Funimation Entertainment]] also licensed the anime series for North American broadcast under the name ''Case Closed''. The character names were also adapted into English ones with some names different between the two. Fifty episodes of the English dubbed series aired on [[TV Networks#Cartoon Network|Cartoon Network]] as part of their [[TV Networks#Adult Swim|Adult Swim]] programming block on May 24th, 2004 until January 2005 and were discontinued due to low ratings.<ref name="Adult Swim Anime Plans">{{cite web|url=http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2005-01-22/adult-swim-anime-plans|title=Adult Swim Anime Plans|publisher=Anime News Network|accessdate=May 5, 2009}}</ref> In Canada, Case Closed premiered on channel [[TV Networks#YTV|YTV]], 22 episodes were broadcasted between April 7th, 2006 and September 2nd, 2006. A separate English adaptation of the series by Animax Asia premiered in the Philippines on January 18th, 2006, under the name Detective Conan. Because Animax were unable to obtain further TV broadcast rights, their version comprised 52 episodes. The series continued with reruns until August 7, 2006, when it was removed from the station. Funimation also released DVDs of their dubbed series beginning August 24th, 2004. Initially, the releases were done in single DVDs and future episodes were released in seasonal boxes; as of 2009, they have released 130 episodes dubbed in English. The seasonal boxes were later re-released in redesigned boxes entitled Viridian edition. The first six films were released on Region 1 DVD in North America between October 3rd 2006 and February 16th 2010, and were sold very well.

In 2006, Funimation made the series available, airing new episodes on Colours TV during its syndication with the Funimation Channel. As of 2012, only 130 episodes (episodes 1-123 Japanese version) have been dubbed in English. Detective Conan is later broadcasted in North America on NHK's cable network TV Japan. Though anime was not so popular in North America, the manga enjoys high success. Volume 36 appeared in the ''[[wikipedia:New York Times Manga Best Sellers|New York Times Manga Best Sellers]]'' list during the week ending on October 24th, 2010. Volume 41 broke the record making it to the top 5 in sales rank during the week ending on January 14th, 2012. The manga continues to be released in North America, though it trails the Japanese publishing by about 30 volumes.

S. California's UTB, United Television Broadcasting's free digital television station began to re-broadcast already dubbed Case Closed's episodes on August 21st, 2011. The next two-episode block was scheduled for Saturday, August 27th, followed by two more episodes on Sunday, August 28th. The episodes were broadcasted at 6:30 a.m and repeated at 10:30 a.m the same day. A one-episode block also aired at 10:00 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays as well.

Incidentally, the catchphrase for [[Masumi Sera]] is 'Case Closed' (whether it's intended as a reference or coincidental is unspecified).

==Critical reception==

The series has been well received in Japan, with the anime adaptation ranking in the top twenty in [[Magazines#Animage|Animage]]'s polls between 1996 until 2000, where it dropped below the top twenty. In the Japanese TV anime ranking, Detective Conan often ranked the top six. It has even been used as a mascot to promote citizens to follow the law. The English adaption has not been as equally popular as in Japan, and has been criticized for the name changes.

The manga is a huge success and it is continued to be published. It won the prestigious Shogakukan Manga Award for the shōnen category in 2000. Some of its volumes appear on the lists of best-selling manga.

The series is successful in Asia and Europe, where some countries translated most of the episodes and volumes. Due to the high popularity DC is re-broadcasting in many countries after the original premieres.

== Demographic ==

Even though Detective Conan is a [[Glossary|Shōnen]], its audience is composed of a substantial proportion of female viewers and readers. The series also seems to attract all ages.

== Appearances in other media ==

3rd Base Fourth

2012-12-05T07:52:34Z

MagicConan14:

[[File:3rdbase.jpg‎|thumb|right|The compilation volume of 3rd Base 4th.]] 3rd Base 4th (4番サード, ''Yoban Sādo'') is a one-volume shōnen sports manga by Gosho Aoyama. It was serialized in Shogakukan's Weekly ''Shōnen Sunday'' between 1991-1993, lasting a total of six chapters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mischif.net/data/yoban.htm#chapters|date=2008-01-08|accessdate=2011-01-07|publisher=Anime News Network|title=Baseball Cinderalla ~ Yoban Saado}}</ref> The premise revolves around the final tournament of high school baseball, the Koushien, which is played every year at the Hanshin Koushien Stadium in Nishinomiya, Japan.

== Story ==
'''{{nihongo|Shigeo Nagashima|長嶋茂雄|Nagashima Shigeo}}''' is third baseman on Kohnan High School's baseball team. However, he isn't a very good player until he happens to purchase a baseball bat from a strange little store. As he discovers, the bat is magical -- whenever he steps up to the plate with money in his back pocket, the money vanishes and he always hits the ball. The more money he pays in this manner to the mysterious shopkeeper who sold him the bat, the farther the ball flies.

Kohnan manages to reach the Koushien, where they face Ougane High School for the championship title. On the opposing team is pitcher '''{{nihongo|Kazuhisa Inao|稲尾和久|Inao Kazuhisa}}''', whose baseball glove is also magical and can throw extremely powerful fastballs. He must also pay for this ability, but as the son of a wealthy business family, he can easily afford the cost. How can Shigeo, who must work hard at his part-time job for every yen, hope to compete?

'''{{nihongo|Minerva Glass|ミネルバ・グラス|Mineruba Gurasu}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
She is an excellent tennis player from London, England. When she was younger she lived in Japan. She placed first in Wimbledon for five consecutive years. She was ranked Number 1 and earned the name 'Grass Court Queen'.

Her father was German and her mother was English. Her father and little sister died in a traffic accident eight years prior to the current storyline. She has a younger brother named Apollo. She was coached by Ares Ashley, who was coached by her father. Ares quit coaching Minerva (although he liked her) because he blamed himself for her dad's death, since he had died in the traffic accident when he'd been on his way to watch Ares's match. This saddened Minerva greatly.

== Personality ==
Minerva is very friendly and cheerful. She took the trouble of going to the airport before Ran and Kogoro left for Japan in order to thank Ran for an e-mail she had sent her. She is an excellent tennis player, being able to calculate the placements of her serves in order to make a code which she hoped someone would figure out and come rescue her.

== Plot overview ==
After four consecutive years of domination at Wimbledon, Minerva was once again involved in it, vying for the top spot. A murderer named Hades put a bomb in Wimbledon in order to get revenge on Minerva's mother, whom he blamed for losing all his possessions after he lost a bet that Minerva would win a certain tennis match, which led to his mother being unable to have surgery, which resulted in her death (Minerva lost the match because her mother wasn't there to encourage her).

Minerva met Ran and later Kogoro. During the match, Minerva received a note from Hades telling her he was targeting her mother. She began placing her serves in certain order and places, leaving a message in braille which Conan deciphered. Using his help, the culprit was caught and Minerva won the match for the fifth consecutive year.

Minerva later met Ran and Kogoro at the airport before they left to go back to Japan so she can thank Ran for her e-mail. She was very happy, thanks to the e-mail as well as the fact that Ares planned to become a tennis player again and had received a reply to an e-mail she had sent him.

== Trivia ==
* Her family's names are references to the Greek/Roman pantheon: Minerva is named after the Roman goddess of wisdom, her brother Apollo is named after the god of prophecy and the arts, her mother Juno is named after the Queen Mother of most of the Roman gods, and Minerva's coach, Ares, is named for the Greek god of war and manliness.

Yaiba

2012-12-05T06:51:30Z

MagicConan14: /* Arcs */

[[Image:Yaiba-vol-1.jpg|thumb|Yaiba Manga, Volume 1]]
'''Y∀IBA''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba|剣勇伝説YAIBA|Swordsman Legend Yaiba}}''', is the second manga series created by [[Gosho Aoyama]]. It ran from 1988 to 1993 in [[Magazines#Weekly Shōnen Sunday|Shonen Sunday]] and later had an anime that ran from April 9, 1993 to April 1, 1994. It was collected into 24 volumes. A video game for the Super Famicom, as well as a game for the Nintendo Game Boy, were also both released.

The story was about a young samurai and his adventures in modern day Japan. There have been numerous references to it in [[Detective Conan]].

==Plot Summary ==
In order to train his son, [[Yaiba Kurogane]], to be a great samurai, [[Kenjuro Kurogane]] raises him in the African wilderness. But during training one day, they (along with their new pet tiger [[Kagetora]]) are caught in a box of bananas about to be shipped to Japan. At the Tokyo airport, Kenjuro runs into his old kendo rival Raizo Mine and his daughter, [[Sayaka Mine|Sayaka]]. Kenjuro leaves Yaiba with Raizo and Sayaka (despite their protestations) and heads off on a journey.

Meanwhile, Yaiba makes instant enemies with Sayaka's school's kendo star, [[Takeshi Onimaru]]. After losing in a duel to Yaiba, Onimaru begins training with his families Fuujin-ken (Wind God Sword) and becomes possessed and starts to take over Japan. To combat this, Yaiba seeks out the Raijin-ken (Lightning God Sword) and is trained by the legendary samurai [[Musashi Miyamoto]]. Onimaru sends wave after wave of minions after Yaiba and his friends, leading to a final showdown at his flying castle.

In Part 2 of the story, Yaiba's use of the sacred Dragon Orbs to help defeat Onimaru reawakens the evil princess of the Rabbit People, [[Kaguya]]. Kaguya seeks out the youth of all of the women of the world for herself. Ultimately, Yaiba has to join forces with Onimaru to defeat Kaguya and her strongest minion [[Gekko]].

*'''[[Gerozaimon Geroda]]''' - A frog man, originally one of Onimaru's minions, revived by using a normal frog as the host body. After losing to Yaiba and learning from another minion that Onimaru views him as expendable, he reforms and joins Yaiba for the remainder of the series.

*'''[[Kumo-Otoko]] (Spider man)''' - Another of Onimaru's minions, he ends up becoming his right hand man and secretary. After his introduction, he is mostly comical and is rarely shown to be competant at anything.

*'''[[Kojiro Sasaki]]''' - Musashi's famous rival, revived by Onimaru to defeat Yaiba. Kojiro makes several attempts to defeat Yaiba or at least steal the Raijin-ken, but ultimately he ends up joining him against Onimaru. He fights using an extendable sword and is a notorious womanizer.
*'''[[Jubei Yagyu]]''' - The famous historical one-eyed samurai, revived by Onimaru using a wolf as the host body. Though he usually looks normal, he becomes an uncontrollable werewolf when drunk. Because they have the same master (Musashi), he reforms and joins Yaiba after losing to him.

Vehicles in Detective Conan

2012-12-05T06:26:56Z

MagicConan14: /* Harley Davidson Electra Glide */

[[Detective Conan]] features many trucks, motorcycles and classic cars.
[[File:DC Cars.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Cars are often involved in cases]]

== Protagonists' vehicles ==
=== Volkswagen Beetle ===
[[Hiroshi Agasa]] drives a classic yellow [[Wikipedia:Volkswagen Beetle|Volkswagen beetle Type 1]], and has owned it for at least ten years.<ref>Manga Volume 55, File 7, page 10: "Dawn"</ref> Agasa's license plate is 新宿 500, ひ１-６４ (Shinjuku 500, Hi 1-64).<ref name="m15">[[Quarter of Silence|Movie 15: Quarter of Silence]]</ref> The plate kana and number are a pun on "Hiroshi" (Hi-i-ro-shi). Possibly the most frequently appearing car in Detective Conan, Agasa often takes the Detective Boys in the beetle to various interesting places or on camping trips, which are inevitably spoiled by a mystery of some sort. A recurring joke in Detective Conan is that Agasa's beetle frequently breaks down, often while he and the Detective Boys are on a trip, and then a case occurs wherever they stop. Cases where the beetle has broken down include:
* [[Contact with the Black Organization]]
* [[Mountain Witch's Cutlery]]
* [[The Blue Spark of Hate]] (out of gas)
* [[A Dangerous Party of Two]]
* [[The Secret That The Diary Plays]]
* [[Volume_76#Online_Client|Online Client]]

She also got pulled over for going 40 mph (64.37 km/h) over the speed limit soon after she got it back. It has a New York state license plate with the number YUK-910

She uses it for police work, but it is unmarked; when she needs to use police lights, she attaches a roof mounted rotating beacon to the top of the car. The RX-7 used to be white, but she repainted it to make it more visible in foggy conditions after some accidents occurred in a popular drag racing area. It features prominently in the [[The Witch Enshrouded by Fog|Silver White witch case]]. A combination of the tire squealing and Sato's shrieking gives her car a characteristic eerie sound when she drifts. Sato's license plate is 新宿 300, ゆ９-０１ (Shinjuku 300, Yu 9-01).

== Trivia ==
*The majority of the cars in Japan have the steering wheel on the right side because Japan is left-hand traffic country; however, many of the vehicles driven by the [[FBI]] and the [[Black Organization]] have the steering wheel on the left. While this might be expected for the FBI because they originate from the United States which is a right-hand traffic country, this does not make sense for the Black Organization which has a significant base of operations in Japan. This is probably because left-hand drive vehicles are considered more prestigious than right-hand drive vehicles in Japanese culture because they are typically imported.

=== Cases featuring cars as a central element ===
Many cases center around cars. These include:
*[[Ayumi-chan Kidnapping Case]]
*[[The Truth Behind the Car Explosion Case]]
*[[The Coffee Shop Truck's Wild Entrance Case]]
*[[The Super Car's Trap]]
*[[Megure's Sealed Secret]]
*[[The Mysterious Passenger]]
*[[The Four Porsches]]
*[[Find the Buttock's Mark]]
*[[The Car Stunt's Utmost Limit]]
*[[The Uncontrollable Rental Car!]]
*[[Conan_vs._Double_Code_Mystery#Red.2C_White.2C_Yellow.2C_and_the_Detective_Boys|Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys]]
*[[Murderer,_Shinichi_Kudo#What_She_Truly_Wants_to_Ask|What She Truly Wants to Ask]]

Vehicles in Detective Conan

2012-12-05T06:25:11Z

MagicConan14: /* Jaguar E-Type */

[[Detective Conan]] features many trucks, motorcycles and classic cars.
[[File:DC Cars.jpg|thumb|right|400px|Cars are often involved in cases]]

== Protagonists' vehicles ==
=== Volkswagen Beetle ===
[[Hiroshi Agasa]] drives a classic yellow [[Wikipedia:Volkswagen Beetle|Volkswagen beetle Type 1]], and has owned it for at least ten years.<ref>Manga Volume 55, File 7, page 10: "Dawn"</ref> Agasa's license plate is 新宿 500, ひ１-６４ (Shinjuku 500, Hi 1-64).<ref name="m15">[[Quarter of Silence|Movie 15: Quarter of Silence]]</ref> The plate kana and number are a pun on "Hiroshi" (Hi-i-ro-shi). Possibly the most frequently appearing car in Detective Conan, Agasa often takes the Detective Boys in the beetle to various interesting places or on camping trips, which are inevitably spoiled by a mystery of some sort. A recurring joke in Detective Conan is that Agasa's beetle frequently breaks down, often while he and the Detective Boys are on a trip, and then a case occurs wherever they stop. Cases where the beetle has broken down include:
* [[Contact with the Black Organization]]
* [[Mountain Witch's Cutlery]]
* [[The Blue Spark of Hate]] (out of gas)
* [[A Dangerous Party of Two]]
* [[The Secret That The Diary Plays]]
* [[Volume_76#Online_Client|Online Client]]

Yukiko is a fast and reckless driver, which is perhaps the reason it was sent in for serious repairs that lasted for almost a month a year before the current timeline. She also got pulled over for going 40 mph (64.37 km/h) over the speed limit soon after she got it back. It has a New York state license plate with the number YUK-910

The RX-7 used to be white, but she repainted it to make it more visible in foggy conditions after some accidents occurred in a popular drag racing area. It features prominently in the [[The Witch Enshrouded by Fog|Silver White witch case]].

[[Gin]] drives a black [[Wikipedia:Porsche 356|Porsche 356A]]. The 356A is an old classic German car (produced 1955–59) and is quite rare. Both Conan's allies and the FBI know that Gin often drives this model, and that its presence signals danger. According to Haibara, it is Gin's favorite car and he refers to it as a "German black rain frog" in reference to the [[Wikipedia:Opel Laubfrosch|Opel Laubfrosch]]. The Porsche features a [[Wikipedia:Flat-four_engine#Automobile_use|flat engine]] that makes a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpsOXCznQJA|a characteristic idling noise] which Conan has used to identify it over his listening devices. Earlier in the manga, Gin often drove it personally, but as the series has progressed more often [[Vodka]] chauffeurs Gin around. The license plate has never been shown in the manga, but in the anime it has the license plate numbers 新宿 34, あ 48-69 in its first appearance, and then later 新宿 54, み 43-69 (Shinjuku 54, Mi 43-69)<ref>Anime 499</ref> or 43-68.

== Trivia ==
*The majority of the cars in Japan have the steering wheel on the right side because Japan is left-hand traffic country; however, many of the vehicles driven by the [[FBI]] and the [[Black Organization]] have the steering wheel on the left. While this might be expected for the FBI because they originate from the United States which is a right-hand traffic country, this does not make sense for the Black Organization which has a significant base of operations in Japan. This is probably because left-hand drive vehicles are considered more prestigious than right-hand drive vehicles in Japanese culture because they are typically imported.

==== The Case ====
While Kogoro and the group are watching a news report on a recent bank robbery, Amuro stops by with sandwiches from the Poirot after finishing his part time job for the day. After commenting on the robbery, Amuro reveals that he wants the scoop on Kogoro's newest case request after deducing from Kogoro's appearance and habits that Kogoro had a case. Kogoro gets a text from the client requesting that Kogoro switch the meeting location to the Café Columbo, and Amuro goes with them after changing out of his work clothes.

At the Columbo, Kogoro explains to Amuro the request was to find the locker a key belongs to. The client fails to show, so Amuro, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran go back to the Mouri Detective Agency to make sure the client didn't actually turn up there instead. When Amuro arrives at the agency, he and Conan notice someone had broken in and appeared to have intercepted the client while they were out. Stepping outside, Amuro explains his deductions to the rest of the gang and that the culprit is hiding in the restroom. Before Amuro can open the bathroom door, a gunshot rings out, and Conan rushes in to find a dead man who apparently committed suicide with a gun and a taped-up crying woman.

'''{{nihongo|Gin|ジン|Jin}}''' is a high-ranking official in the [[Black Organization]] and the primary antagonist of the series. He is the organization member who gave [[Shinichi Kudo]] the experimental poison [[APTX 4869]] which turned him into [[Conan Edogawa]].<ref name=Eyes>Manga Chapter 1: The Heisei Holmes</ref> He is frequently paired on missions with [[Vodka]]. In the English manga, he was first introduced as Melkior, but later was reverted to Gin. This is likely due to the fact that Conan is often reminded of the Black Organization by references to alcohol.

== Background ==
Gin is a high-ranking "executive agent", often giving the other members their orders and supervising group missions. He works in the "[[Black_Organization#Organization_structure_and_divisions|general oversight division]]" along with [[Vodka]] who is his secretary. Despite his high ranking leadership position, he often takes to the field to participate in missions, complete business transactions, and assassinate people. When on missions, he is typically the one giving orders, even to agents who are equally ranked, like Vermouth. Gin seems to be able to communicate freely with [[Anokata]].

Virtually nothing of Gin's history before the present timeline is known. From the FBI's discussion, he was in a high ranking position, perhaps the same one, two years ago, and his appearance has not changed between then and the current timeline.

Two years ago, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]], who was on a infiltration mission, was promoted to the codename Rye. He was called to work under Gin and a meeting for them was set in a warehouse. The FBI staked out the warehouse hoping to capture Gin as it was believed he could lead them to the boss,<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

When the tracker placed on the new agent [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]] indicated she was in a warehouse where she shouldn't be, Gin and Vodka went to investigate. At the time she was meeting with her father and fellow CIA agent, [[Ethan Hondou]]. Recognizing that if Gin discovered the situation he would know they were spies, Ethan committed suicide to protect Hidemi by making it look like she had confronted him for being a spy and had killed him. Gin believed the ploy.

== Personality ==
Of the high ranking members of the Black Organization shown, Gin among the most loyal: he follows the [[Anokata|boss]] of the Black Organization's orders most closely and virtually never acts against the Organization's greater interests. He is also one of the Black Organization's most dangerous operatives; Conan miscalculating his intelligence, abilities, and speed of response have resulted in several very close calls and awry plans.<ref>Volume 24, Files 7-11, Chapters 238-242</ref><ref name=383p>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383: "The New Weapon Gadget"</ref><ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref>
He has yet to be truly outsmarted by Conan, although he has been foiled a couple times.

[[Image:Gin's murderous eyes.png‎|thumb|left|150px|Gin's murderous eyes.]]Gin is a merciless and efficient assassin. He has no compunctions about killing or threatening fellow teammates. Fitting his icy personality, Gin's displayed range of emotions so far is relatively limited. Wearing a threatening smirk, he enjoys hunting traitors, watching the plans he has concocted succeed, and cornering his targets. Although he seems to take satisfaction with taking out someone personally, Gin is also satisfied with orchestrating a target's death even if he does not pull the trigger himself.<ref>In the Red Shirt's case while Gin was staking out the Beika department store waiting for scar Akai to appear, he replies to Kir's remark that "Why don't you [Gin]... just enjoy the fact your nemesis is gone?" with "Yeah, I'm so happy... If he is still alive, I get to kill him again." This shows that Gin considers Akai's death as "his kill" even though it was Kir who pulled the trigger at Raiha pass, and if scar Akai is killed, it will be Chianti or Korn who finishes the job. He is apparently satisfied with the orchestrator role and doesn't feel the need to personally kill Akai himself.</ref> He is not easily frustrated and takes setbacks in good stride, shown when he coolly orders a retreat when Shuichi Akai ambushed the Black Organization. He is patient and cautious, preferring to wait until success is most likely.<ref>He orders Chianti and Korn on several occasions to wait before shooting for better opportunities.</ref> He does not like potential loose ends, preferring to get rid of anything doubtful.<ref>In Volume 49, File 4, Chap 504, Gin orders for Conan to be shot because he acted suspiciously, even though he was a child.</ref> Gin does not trust anyone and does not fully believe anything he doesn't witness himself.<ref>Manga Chapter 702: The Bomber's Aim</ref>
<br />Certain individuals elicit more of a response than others from Gin. Gin doesn't seem to enjoy [[Vermouth]]'s antics; he tried to put an icepick through her head after she disguised as a waiter to tease him. Gin finds [[Bourbon]]<ref name=703p3>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref>, who has several shared characteristics with Vermouth<ref name=703p3/>, annoying as well. He has a personal rivalry with [[Shuichi Akai]], and takes interest when the FBI agent gets involved. [[Gin#Sherry|For uncertain reasons]], Gin has an abnormal attachment<ref>[[Conan Drill]] page 239, Gin's feelings towards Shiho on a relationship diagram were listed as "異常な執着": "abnormal attachment"</ref> to Shiho Miyano, so he broke from his normal efficiency-oriented hunting strategy in favor of a more dramatic confrontation with her for his personal enjoyment.

Gin is very skilled in his managerial role; he keeps the boss informed on current happenings, yet is also a decisive and quick acting leader in his own regard. Gin often consults the boss about actions that may have potentially serious ramifications, like getting permission to kill Kogoro, who is popular and closely connected to the police, after Gin found a [[Microphone|listening device]] and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracking device]] on [[Kir]]'s shoe that he believes were planted by the detective. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion. One such action was deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] at [[Tropical Land]] after Gin caught him spying. Gin is more than willing to take matters into his own hands when he feels another member has endangered the Organization.<ref name=Smart>Manga Chapter 383: The New Weapon</ref> He even once pulled a gun on his own partner, [[Vodka]], when he went against orders and rescheduled a meeting with one of their contacts outside of the organization to an earlier time.<ref name=Smart/>
[[File:Maybe he really did know Conan was in there....PNG|186px|thumb|right|Gin opens the locker Conan is hiding in]]
Gin's effective leadership is shown in how he manages the diverse personalities of his team on missions. If Gin feels any frustration or scorn regarding the behavior or abilities of any of his teammates, he does not show it unless it is actively interfering with his plans or threatening the Organization. However, that doesn't stop him from being contemptuous about others behind their backs.<ref>Disliked Pisco, but did not show it while detailing him his mission. Gin only complains about Bourbon, Vermouth, and Pisco when they are not around (Bourbon, Vermouth) or their opinion does not matter.(Pisco)</ref> The other members' respect for Gin keeps them in line and obeying orders. Only Vermouth has actively objected to Gin's plans on a mission. He also respects the desires of his teammates to a certain degree, even though he may distrust them. Despite his personal suspicions, he let [[Vermouth]] persuade him to leave Conan and Kogoro alone, and he decided not to kill anyone at the hospital after [[Kir]] requested he do not even though he was unsure of her loyalty.

Gin has several weaknesses. He has difficulty remembering the faces and names of those he has killed. Vodka's memory makes up for this somewhat, but Gin notices connections later as a result. As soon as Gin becomes suspicious of someone he gets to work looking into them,<ref>Manga Chapter 700: Dangerous Area</ref> but if his suspicions are proven wrong he tends to lose interest completely.<ref>Vodka's report about "Shinichi" appearing on the Ghost Ship.</ref><ref name=Scar/><ref>Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]]</ref> His more conventional logic has also meant he has missed important deductions. This was most notable when Gin decided to stop searching lockers because no adult could fit in them, apparently overlooking that one of the lookouts had mentioned a kid entering the station earlier.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Gin2_color_page_V24-7_closeup.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Gin's manga appearance.]]
Gin is a tall, thin man of uncertain age. His most noticeable feature is his long silver hair that goes down to his hips. (In the anime, Gin's hair was light-brown at first, then blond, then finally changed to match the manga as can be seen in the 13<sup>th</sup> movie: [[The Raven Chaser]].) It is cut at the front into bangs which often obscure his eyes, which are blue (like all the other characters) in the manga, and green in the anime. He has, as Shinichi put it, the eyes of someone who has easily killed many people without a care.<ref name=Eyes/> In the manga, his face is somewhat gaunt, with visible cheekbones and a triangular dark patch below each eye. Later in the series he receives a scar on his left cheek after a bullet from [[Shuichi Akai]]'s rifle grazes him.<ref name=Scar>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

Gin's appearance has never changed in all of his appearances. He wears a black fedora with a grey or white hatband. His only shown outfit is a knee length, notched lapel, black trenchcoat with the collar upturned to obscure part of his face and a loose white turtleneck underneath. He likely also wears a ballistic vest beneath these. He wears black trousers and black dress shoes. When trying to avoid leaving fingerprints, he dons a pair of white gloves (black in the anime).

Gin is a heavy smoker. He is also left handed.
{{clear}}

==Abilities==
===Intelligence and instinct===
Gin is quite perceptive and intelligent<ref name=Smart/>; he can smell out traps his partner Vodka easily falls for. Gin is also good at deduction. He correctly infers the FBI plan to move the captured Organization member Kir, and also explains to Vodka the biological principles behind why an old man with severe heart conditions wouldn't go to a cold cabin in the dead of winter. Unlike other detectives in the series, Gin also relies on his good instinct. A few times so far, he correctly suspects there is more to a situation than the evidence alone indicates. He correctly suspects that Kogoro (really Conan) was not completely innocent<ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref> and that getting Kir back from the FBI was too easy. At one point while searching for the "clever fox" who set them up, Gin begins opening child size lockers on a whim. He just stops at the one Conan was hiding in and chides himself for doing so because there was no way an adult could hide in those lockers.<ref>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383</ref>

===Stamina===
Gin seems to have undergone serious physical training, giving him incredible stamina and a high pain tolerance, as shown when he remained conscious after being hit by Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|stun-gun wristwatch]] and then shot himself in the arm to regain full consciousness. He then climbed down and back up a chimney despite the shot in the arm.<ref>Manga Chapter 242: A White World</ref> He was able to flee with internal injuries bad enough to cause him to bleed from the mouth when Akai put two rifle rounds in his ballistic vest.

=== Firearms ===
==== Handguns ====
Gin is skilled with handguns. He prefers a Beretta M9.

=== Sniping ===
Although Gin has not fired a sniper rifle canonically, Gin probably has sniping skills based on the way he handled Korn's rifle to locate [[Shuichi Akai]] who is 700 yards away, center him in the scope, and steadily aim at him while standing up.<ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref> In [[Countdown to Heaven]], Gin is an excellent sniper, as shown when he accidentally shoots at [[Sonoko]].<ref>Movie 5: Countdown to Heaven</ref>

After tricking her into accidentally poisoning one of her team members, she confronts Gin at the shipping yard to complete the transaction. She tries to tell Gin to hold up his end of the bargain, but he tells her the Organization wouldn't let her sister leave anyway because she was too valuable. He then kills Akemi and flees.


====Bullet Train Case (Manga: [[Volume_4#Shinkansen_Bomb_Case|33]])====
Gin and Vodka are making a deal aboard the Shinkansen. For a large sum of money, their client is given what she believes to be a black attaché case containing information about the stock market.

====Sherry's Escape (Manga: [[Volume_18#Missing_Older_Brother_Case|177]], [[Volume_19#Murdered_Professor_Case|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]])====
Gin and Vodka were supposed to remove Sherry from the Organization because she began asking too many questions about her sister's death. At this time, Sherry takes the Apoptoxin 4869 and escapes.

====Haido City Hotel (Manga: [[Volume_24#Hotel_Party_Murder_Case|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]])====
One day, Conan and Ai saw his car on a street. They put a a transmitter in it only some seconds before he arrived there. After a while, Gin found an auburn hair in the car and he deduced it was Shiho's. He found also the transmitter, so he destroyed it (after that is the famous moment when he imagines Shiho naked).
However, Conan and Ai knew where was he going to go, so they went also to the Haido Hotel. There, Pisco kidnapped Haibara and took her to a room with a big fireplace. When Gin and Vodka arrived at the room, she (with her adult body beacuse of the Baikal)was hidden in the fireplace. Gin heared her breathing, and, when she arrived at the roof, he was there. He shot her many times. When he was ready to kill her, Conan arrived and shot a sleeping dart at him. However, he showed a resistance to it, not falling asleep promptly and shot himself in the arm so he would stay conscious. After that, he climbed down the chimney, killed Pisco and climbed back up. He returned to his car with Vodka and Vermouth and they talked about Sherry. In this chapter, it is hinted that he knows Shiho very well, predicting her movements and being able to confidently distinguish her by just a hair she left in his car.

====Prior to the Bus Hijacking (Manga: [[Volume_29#File_287_-_The_Unseen_Horror|287]], Anime: [[The_Mysterious_Passenger|230]])====

Conan apprehends the two culprits and proceeds to the subway. Once there Conan places the CD containing the program the Black Organization wants and places it in a coin locker with a sign on it. Vodka arrives and takes the CD but is stopped by Gin who revealed that there is tape on the CD which means that someone was trying to get his fingerprint. Gin finds a tracker device. He places his hand on the case to find out its warm meaning the one who set up the disk is nearby. Conan manages to hide in a coin locker and passes out due to the lack of oxygen; He is found by Haibara the next day.

====Black Impact (Manga: [[Volume_48#Black_Organization_vs._FBI|500]][[Volume_49#Black_Organization_vs_FBI|-504]], Anime: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|425]])====
[[File:Gin's scope sniped.jpg|thumb|right|Shuichi Akai shoots Gin's scope out and grazes his cheek. The wound will eventually scar and is seen in all of Gin's later appearances.]]
Gin coordinates the assassination of Domon Yasuteru. His first plan, is to get Domon interviewed using Kir, have him sit down on a bench, where [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to kill him. His backup plan; which consisted of Vermouth in disguise crashing in front of Domon's car, after which Kir, Chianti, and Korn would kill Domon and his two bodyguards, was canceled when he discovered the transmitter Conan set up. Gin assumes the transmitter was set up by Kogoro, and gets permission from the boss to kill him. However, the assassination of Kogoro is interrupted by Conan whose soccer ball breaking Mouri's window distracts Chainti and Korn who were taking aim. Over the protests of Vermouth, Gin orders the two snipers to kill Conan as well for, as Vodka says, being suspicious. This too is interrupted when Shuichi Akai snipes the transmitter out from between Gin's fingers from 700 yards away. A brief exchange of gunfire ensues, but ends quickly after Akai shoots out Gin's scope and puts two bullets in his flak jacket. Gin recognizes the disadvantage and orders the Black Organization members to disperse without taking any more action against Conan or Kogoro. Gin and the other operatives assume the transmitter was set up by the FBI, but still has residual suspicions about Kogoro. Gin eventually decides not to kill Kogoro at the word of Vermouth.

====The Search for Kir (Manga: [[Volume_53#Mysterious_Job_Case|553,]] [[Volume_54#Mysterious_Job_Case|555]], Anime: [[The Shadow of the Black Organization|464-465]])====

====Clash of Red and Black (Manga: [[Volume_58#Kir_Transport_Case|599]]-[[Volume_59#Foreign_Suspect_Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|491-504]])====
=====Akai's Assassination (Manga: [[Volume_58#Foreign_Suspect_Case|605]]-[[Volume_59#Foreign_Suspect_Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash_of_Red_and_Black!#Friday_the_Thirteenth_.28Manga:_605-609.2C_501-504.29|501-504]])=====
Gin is the one that orders Kir to kill Akai. He doubted her allegiances to the Organization and was suspicious of her so he put her at gunpoint and forced her to call Akai to tell him to meet her somewhere. He tells her he will be watching the whole assassination so if she planned on doing anything suspicious, he would kill her. Kir kills Akai (even though there are theories that he may still be alive) and Gin is reassured of her allegiance to the Organization.

====Scar Akai and the Beika Department Store (Manga: [[Volume 67#Department Store Bomber Case|700-704]], Anime: [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|578]]-[[The Red Shaking Target|581]])====

Before Gin order Chianti to shoot Scar Akai, Vermouth appears and speaks with Gin about a plan she received the boss's authorization for. Scar Akai notices Chianti and smirks, which made her lose her aim and made Scar Akai disappear into the crowd.

===Differences in the anime===
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
====The Shinkansen's Bomb Case ([[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Anime 5]])====
In the manga, this case occurred after [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin and Vodka are replaced with unrelated criminals who look and dress very similarly. The replacement of Gin and Vodka created a continuity error because the episode omitted how Conan learned their codenames, which was important to identifying [[Tequila]] as a member of the Black Organization in the [[Game Company Murder Case]].

====The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case ([[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Anime 13]])====
In the manga, this case occurred before [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin was replaced by a similar looking man with glasses who shot but did not kill [[Akemi Miyano]]. This created a rather large continuity error.<ref>Akemi's participation in the robbery was a deal she made with the Black Organization stipulating that if she successfully stole the money, she and her sister would be freed. However, the Organization had intended for her to fail so they could kill her for having a relationship with the FBI infiltrator [[Shuichi Akai]]. Although Akemi was successful, Gin killed her anyway. Her death, which the Black Organization refused to explain, was part of the motive that led to [[Sherry]] betraying the Organization.</ref> The continuity error was corrected in [[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]]. Other information that wound up being delayed included Gin revealing that Akemi had a scientist sister who was valuable to the Organization, and that he was left handed based on how he held his handgun.

====The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case ([[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|Anime 128]])====
This case corrected by continuity error created in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]] by having Gin kill Akemi. Akemi Miyano under the alias "Masami Hirota" and two other robbers successfully steal 10 billion yen. A mask with forged lipstick mark is left behind with the empty getaway vehicle by an unknown party to implicate Hirota. Later that night, Gin and Vodka assassinate the two other bank robbers and place Hirota's lipstick at the crime scene. After realizing she was set up my someone, Conan sneaks into Hirota's apartment and attempts to stop her from meeting the assailants. Ignoring Conan's warning, Hirota heads to an empty warehouse and meets Gin who reveals her true identity to be Akemi Miyano. She asks him to release her sister in exchange for the 10 billion yen; Gin however murders her and takes the keys to a coin locker containing the money from the robbery. Akemi then reveals to Conan the existence of the Black Organization, and the location that she hid the stolen money before dying.

===Movie Appearances===
====[[Countdown to Heaven]]====
Initially, Gin is involved in the plot because he is to eliminate a traitor in the Organization. Later though, he finds out that Sherry was attending a party at the Twin Tower Buildings, the targeted location, and decides to kill two birds with one stone. He shoots at Sonoko, who got her hair permed and looks a lot like Sherry, but he realizes that it wasn't her after all after Conan gets Sonoko to dodge the bullet and she starts panicking in a very uncomposed manner. He leaves the towers in the end, looking forward to killing Sherry the next time he sees her.

====[[The Raven Chaser]]====
In the beginning, during Conan's dream, Gin appears and is shown to know Conan's true identity. Later, in reality, Gin is looking for a memory card that contains information crucial to the Organization. His next appearance is during the climax of the movie. He, Vodka, Chianti, and Korn arrive at the top of Tokyo Tower in a black helicopter. Gin calls Irish and tells him to hold out the computer chip, then orders Chianti to kill Irish and destroy the chip in one shot. He spots someone (Conan) trying to hide and orders Vodka to start using the machine gun that was built into the helicopter. After Conan catapults the broken light into the back of the helicopter and Vodka is trying to get it back in control, he wonders who could have done so much damage to the Organization and leaves the scene.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Vodka ====
Gin is [[Vodka]]'s superior and they frequently work together, or are seen communicating with one another by phone. Vodka shows Gin absolute respect, using honorifics<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> while speaking with Gin rather than simply using his codename like other agents do. Gin in turn values Vodka for his obedience, so Gin occasionally orders Vodka to go on missions where he needs objective observation or that are annoying.<ref>Both of these were requirements in the Halloween Showdown. Gin (and the boss) needed a clear idea of what Vermouth was doing so Gin sent Vodka because he could trust him. The mission also required Vodka to dress up in a monster costume, something most other agents, Vodka included, would not have liked to do.</ref> Gin views and treats Vodka as an "inexperienced little brother".<ref name=CD239a>Conan drill page 239: 出来の悪い弟分</ref> Despite this, Gin does not truly trust anyone, including Vodka, and interrogated Vodka about his actions at gunpoint before. Although Vodka is slower than Gin and frequently jumps to incorrect conclusions, Gin patiently explains his deductions to Vodka creating a sort of Sherlock Holmes and Watson dynamic between the two. Vodka covers for Gin's weakness of not remembering the names or faces of those he has killed.

[[Image:Gin imagines Shiho naked.jpg|thumb|right|Gin imagines [[Shiho Miyano]] naked.]]

==== Sherry ====
{{Main|Gin and Sherry}}
Gin has an abnormal attachment for [[Shiho Miyano]] and seems to enjoy hunting for her, while she seems to hate him. They may have had a romantic relationship in the past.<ref name=CD239/> In the anime and in the manga, Gin also imagines Shiho naked twice. The latest occurance was in file 820.
{{clearright}}

==== Vermouth ====
Gin and [[Vermouth]] are or were in a sexual relationship with one another, since Vermouth in episode 230 asked gin if they could have a Martini tonight, noting that Martini is a mix of Vermouth and Gin. <ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref> They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Gin and Vermouth mostly trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her activities and intentions.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Tequila ====
Although [[Tequila]] is a subordinate of Gin's, he doesn't use honorifics like Vodka does<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> to refer to Gin, giving the impression Tequila and Gin appear equally ranked.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Pisco ====
Although [[Pisco]] and Gin are executive members and Pisco is Gin's senior, Gin dislikes and looks down on him.<ref name=CD239/> He does not show emotion when he kills him in the burning hotel.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Shuichi Akai ====
{{Main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}
Gin and [[Shuichi Akai]] are rivals and enemies.

== Name origin ==
Gin comes from the [[Wikipedia:Gin|hard liquor]] which is known for its juniper berry flavor. It follows the Black Organization codename pattern of hard liquor codenames for men. The codename is probably also a pun on Gin's hair color. Gin pronounced with a hard "g" like "gun" in Japanese (ぎん ''Gin'') means "silver" (銀). This pun was used by a victim to implicate Gin as his killer in [[Movie 5|Countdown to Heaven]].

Gin's English name, Melkior, is the name of one of the Magi, or three kings, who visits the infant Jesus in Christian tradition. The name is Semitic and means 'king city.' Gin's English name was later switched to Gin to follow the Japanese.

== Trivia==
* Gin is left handed.<ref name=304p16>Manga Volume 30, File 9, pg 16: "Genta's Trap"</ref>
* Gin can't seem to remember faces he encounters or kills, which explains that he doesn't remember [[Shinichi]].
* His favorite car is his [[Vehicles_in_Detective_Conan#Porsche_356A|Porsche 356A]], which he refers to as "German black rain frog". Notably, the car's registration is A 48-69, the same numbers that are used in APTX-4869. In episodes after the reunion with Sherry, the plate is changed to MI 43-68.[[Image:Gin's Porsche.png|150px|thumb|right|Gin's Porsche.]]
* Gin's design has drastically been changed throughout the anime. At first, his hair is actually light brown, and the line structure is not as detailed. In addition, part of his hair comes down his face across his nose. As the series progresses Gin's hair is blond, and the line structure is strongly detailed. Moreover, there is no hair that comes down across his face anymore. Gin's hair color changes once again in Opening 24 where it is then silver to match his manga depiction.
* One glare from Gin can end an argument before it even starts. In episode 176, Gin and Vodka were jaywalking and a man from vehicle that had been forced to stop sharply was preparing to yell at them. Gin looks at him harshly, and the man fearfully shrinks back into his car. In some regions, it is believed that the people with green eyes can bestow the evil eye, intentionally or unintentionally.
* In Episode 425, Gin took Korn's rifle to locate Shuichi Akai who was on a building that is 700 yards. At that moment Akai shot at Gin and the bullet was very visible on Gin's reticule. Gin managed to move his head in time to mostly dodge the bullet.

'''{{nihongo|Gin|ジン|Jin}}''' is a high-ranking official in the [[Black Organization]] and the primary antagonist of the series. He is the organization member who gave [[Shinichi Kudo]] the experimental poison [[APTX 4869]] which turned him into [[Conan Edogawa]].<ref name=Eyes>Manga Chapter 1: The Heisei Holmes</ref> He is frequently paired on missions with [[Vodka]]. In the English manga, he was first introduced as Melkior, but later was reverted to Gin. This is likely due to the fact that Conan is often reminded of the Black Organization by references to alcohol.

== Background ==
Gin is a high-ranking "executive agent", often giving the other members their orders and supervising group missions. He works in the "[[Black_Organization#Organization_structure_and_divisions|general oversight division]]" along with [[Vodka]] who is his secretary. Despite his high ranking leadership position, he often takes to the field to participate in missions, complete business transactions, and assassinate people. When on missions, he is typically the one giving orders, even to agents who are equally ranked, like Vermouth. Gin seems to be able to communicate freely with [[Anokata]].

Virtually nothing of Gin's history before the present timeline is known. From the FBI's discussion, he was in a high ranking position, perhaps the same one, two years ago, and his appearance has not changed between then and the current timeline.

Two years ago, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]], who was on a infiltration mission, was promoted to the codename Rye. He was called to work under Gin and a meeting for them was set in a warehouse. The FBI staked out the warehouse hoping to capture Gin as it was believed he could lead them to the boss,<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

When the tracker placed on the new agent [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]] indicated she was in a warehouse where she shouldn't be, Gin and Vodka went to investigate. At the time she was meeting with her father and fellow CIA agent, [[Ethan Hondou]]. Recognizing that if Gin discovered the situation he would know they were spies, Ethan committed suicide to protect Hidemi by making it look like she had confronted him for being a spy and had killed him. Gin believed the ploy.

== Personality ==
Of the high ranking members of the Black Organization shown, Gin among the most loyal: he follows the [[Anokata|boss]] of the Black Organization's orders most closely and virtually never acts against the Organization's greater interests. He is also one of the Black Organization's most dangerous operatives; Conan miscalculating his intelligence, abilities, and speed of response have resulted in several very close calls and awry plans.<ref>Volume 24, Files 7-11, Chapters 238-242</ref><ref name=383p>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383: "The New Weapon Gadget"</ref><ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref>
He has yet to be truly outsmarted by Conan, although he has been foiled a couple times.

[[Image:Gin's murderous eyes.png‎|thumb|left|150px|Gin's murderous eyes.]]Gin is a merciless and efficient assassin. He has no compunctions about killing or threatening fellow teammates. Fitting his icy personality, Gin's displayed range of emotions so far is relatively limited. Wearing a threatening smirk, he enjoys hunting traitors, watching the plans he has concocted succeed, and cornering his targets. Although he seems to take satisfaction with taking out someone personally, Gin is also satisfied with orchestrating a target's death even if he does not pull the trigger himself.<ref>In the Red Shirt's case while Gin was staking out the Beika department store waiting for scar Akai to appear, he replies to Kir's remark that "Why don't you [Gin]... just enjoy the fact your nemesis is gone?" with "Yeah, I'm so happy... If he is still alive, I get to kill him again." This shows that Gin considers Akai's death as "his kill" even though it was Kir who pulled the trigger at Raiha pass, and if scar Akai is killed, it will be Chianti or Korn who finishes the job. He is apparently satisfied with the orchestrator role and doesn't feel the need to personally kill Akai himself.</ref> He is not easily frustrated and takes setbacks in good stride, shown when he coolly orders a retreat when Shuichi Akai ambushed the Black Organization. He is patient and cautious, preferring to wait until success is most likely.<ref>He orders Chianti and Korn on several occasions to wait before shooting for better opportunities.</ref> He does not like potential loose ends, preferring to get rid of anything doubtful.<ref>In Volume 49, File 4, Chap 504, Gin orders for Conan to be shot because he acted suspiciously, even though he was a child.</ref> Gin does not trust anyone and does not fully believe anything he doesn't witness himself.<ref>Manga Chapter 702: The Bomber's Aim</ref>
<br />Certain individuals elicit more of a response than others from Gin. Gin doesn't seem to enjoy [[Vermouth]]'s antics; he tried to put an icepick through her head after she disguised as a waiter to tease him. Gin finds [[Bourbon]]<ref name=703p3>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref>, who has several shared characteristics with Vermouth<ref name=703p3/>, annoying as well. He has a personal rivalry with [[Shuichi Akai]], and takes interest when the FBI agent gets involved. [[Gin#Sherry|For uncertain reasons]], Gin has an abnormal attachment<ref>[[Conan Drill]] page 239, Gin's feelings towards Shiho on a relationship diagram were listed as "異常な執着": "abnormal attachment"</ref> to Shiho Miyano, so he broke from his normal efficiency-oriented hunting strategy in favor of a more dramatic confrontation with her for his personal enjoyment.

Gin is very skilled in his managerial role; he keeps the boss informed on current happenings, yet is also a decisive and quick acting leader in his own regard. Gin often consults the boss about actions that may have potentially serious ramifications, like getting permission to kill Kogoro, who is popular and closely connected to the police, after Gin found a [[Microphone|listening device]] and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracking device]] on [[Kir]]'s shoe that he believes were planted by the detective. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion. One such action was deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] at [[Tropical Land]] after Gin caught him spying. Gin is more than willing to take matters into his own hands when he feels another member has endangered the Organization.<ref name=Smart>Manga Chapter 383: The New Weapon</ref> He even once pulled a gun on his own partner, [[Vodka]], when he went against orders and rescheduled a meeting with one of their contacts outside of the organization to an earlier time.<ref name=Smart/>
[[File:Maybe he really did know Conan was in there....PNG|186px|thumb|right|Gin opens the locker Conan is hiding in]]
Gin's effective leadership is shown in how he manages the diverse personalities of his team on missions. If Gin feels any frustration or scorn regarding the behavior or abilities of any of his teammates, he does not show it unless it is actively interfering with his plans or threatening the Organization. However, that doesn't stop him from being contemptuous about others behind their backs.<ref>Disliked Pisco, but did not show it while detailing him his mission. Gin only complains about Bourbon, Vermouth, and Pisco when they are not around (Bourbon, Vermouth) or their opinion does not matter.(Pisco)</ref> The other members' respect for Gin keeps them in line and obeying orders. Only Vermouth has actively objected to Gin's plans on a mission. He also respects the desires of his teammates to a certain degree, even though he may distrust them. Despite his personal suspicions, he let [[Vermouth]] persuade him to leave Conan and Kogoro alone, and he decided not to kill anyone at the hospital after [[Kir]] requested he do not even though he was unsure of her loyalty.

Gin has several weaknesses. He has difficulty remembering the faces and names of those he has killed. Vodka's memory makes up for this somewhat, but Gin notices connections later as a result. As soon as Gin becomes suspicious of someone he gets to work looking into them,<ref>Manga Chapter 700: Dangerous Area</ref> but if his suspicions are proven wrong he tends to lose interest completely.<ref>Vodka's report about "Shinichi" appearing on the Ghost Ship.</ref><ref name=Scar/><ref>Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]]</ref> His more conventional logic has also meant he has missed important deductions. This was most notable when Gin decided to stop searching lockers because no adult could fit in them, apparently overlooking that one of the lookouts had mentioned a kid entering the station earlier.
{{clear}}

== Appearance ==
[[File:Gin2_color_page_V24-7_closeup.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Gin's manga appearance.]]
Gin is a tall, thin man of uncertain age. His most noticeable feature is his long silver hair that goes down to his hips. (In the anime, Gin's hair was light-brown at first, then blond, then finally changed to match the manga as can be seen in the 13<sup>th</sup> movie: [[The Raven Chaser]].) It is cut at the front into bangs which often obscure his eyes, which are blue (like all the other characters) in the manga, and green in the anime. He has, as Shinichi put it, the eyes of someone who has easily killed many people without a care.<ref name=Eyes/> In the manga, his face is somewhat gaunt, with visible cheekbones and a triangular dark patch below each eye. Later in the series he receives a scar on his left cheek after a bullet from [[Shuichi Akai]]'s rifle grazes him.<ref name=Scar>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

Gin's appearance has never changed in all of his appearances. He wears a black fedora with a grey or white hatband. His only shown outfit is a knee length, notched lapel, black trenchcoat with the collar upturned to obscure part of his face and a loose white turtleneck underneath. He likely also wears a ballistic vest beneath these. He wears black trousers and black dress shoes. When trying to avoid leaving fingerprints, he dons a pair of white gloves (black in the anime).

Gin is a heavy smoker. He is also left handed.
{{clear}}

==Abilities==
===Intelligence and instinct===
Gin is quite perceptive and intelligent<ref name=Smart/>; he can smell out traps his partner Vodka easily falls for. Gin is also good at deduction. He correctly infers the FBI plan to move the captured Organization member Kir, and also explains to Vodka the biological principles behind why an old man with severe heart conditions wouldn't go to a cold cabin in the dead of winter. Unlike other detectives in the series, Gin also relies on his good instinct. A few times so far, he correctly suspects there is more to a situation than the evidence alone indicates. He correctly suspects that Kogoro (really Conan) was not completely innocent<ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref> and that getting Kir back from the FBI was too easy. At one point while searching for the "clever fox" who set them up, Gin begins opening child size lockers on a whim. He just stops at the one Conan was hiding in and chides himself for doing so because there was no way an adult could hide in those lockers.<ref>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383</ref>

===Stamina===
Gin seems to have undergone serious physical training, giving him incredible stamina and a high pain tolerance, as shown when he remained conscious after being hit by Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|stun-gun wristwatch]] and then shot himself in the arm to regain full consciousness. He then climbed down and back up a chimney despite the shot in the arm.<ref>Manga Chapter 242: A White World</ref> He was able to flee with internal injuries bad enough to cause him to bleed from the mouth when Akai put two rifle rounds in his ballistic vest.

=== Firearms ===
==== Handguns ====
Gin is skilled with handguns. He prefers a Beretta M9.

=== Sniping ===
Although Gin has not fired a sniper rifle canonically, Gin probably has sniping skills based on the way he handled Korn's rifle to locate [[Shuichi Akai]] who is 700 yards away, center him in the scope, and steadily aim at him while standing up.<ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref> In [[Countdown to Heaven]], Gin is an excellent sniper, as shown when he accidentally shoots at [[Sonoko]].<ref>Movie 5: Countdown to Heaven</ref>

After tricking her into accidentally poisoning one of her team members, she confronts Gin at the shipping yard to complete the transaction. She tries to tell Gin to hold up his end of the bargain, but he tells her the Organization wouldn't let her sister leave anyway because she was too valuable. He then kills Akemi and flees.


====Bullet Train Case (Manga: [[Volume_4#Shinkansen_Bomb_Case|33]])====
Gin and Vodka are making a deal aboard the Shinkansen. For a large sum of money, their client is given what she believes to be a black attaché case containing information about the stock market.

Thanks to a bug Conan placed in their seats, he is able to learn Gin and Vodka's codenames, but is unable to catch them before they leave the train.
{{clear}}

====Sherry's Escape (Manga: [[Volume_18#Missing_Older_Brother_Case|177]], [[Volume_19#Murdered_Professor_Case|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]])====
Gin and Vodka were supposed to remove Sherry from the Organization because she began asking too many questions about her sister's death. At this time, Sherry takes the Apoptoxin 4869 and escapes.

====Haido City Hotel (Manga: [[Volume_24#Hotel_Party_Murder_Case|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]])====
One day, Conan and Ai saw his car on a street. They put a a transmitter in it only some seconds before he arrived there. After a while, Gin found an auburn hair in the car and he deduced it was Shiho's. He found also the transmitter, so he destroyed it (after that is the famous moment when he imagines Shiho naked).
However, Conan and Ai knew where was he going to go, so they went also to the Haido Hotel. There, Pisco kidnapped Haibara and took her to a room with a big fireplace. When Gin and Vodka arrived at the room, she (with her adult body beacuse of the Baikal)was hidden in the fireplace. Gin heared her breathing, and, when she arrived at the roof, he was there. He shot her many times. When he was ready to kill her, Conan arrived and shot a sleeping dart at him. However, he showed a resistance to it, not falling asleep promptly and shot himself in the arm so he would stay conscious. After that, he climbed down the chimney, killed Pisco and climbed back up. He returned to his car with Vodka and Vermouth and they talked about Sherry. In this chapter, it is hinted that he knows Shiho very well, predicting her movements and being able to confidently distinguish her by just a hair she left in his car.

Vodka arrives and takes the CD but is stopped by Gin who revealed that there is tape on the CD which means that someone was trying to get his fingerprint. Gin finds a tracker device. He places his hand on the case to find out its warm meaning the one who set up the disk is nearby.

[[File:Gin's scope sniped.jpg|thumb|right|Shuichi Akai shoots Gin's scope out and grazes his cheek. The wound will eventually scar and is seen in all of Gin's later appearances.]]
Gin coordinates the assassination of Domon Yasuteru. His first plan, is to get Domon interviewed using Kir, have him sit down on a bench, where [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to kill him. His backup plan; which consisted of Vermouth in disguise crashing in front of Domon's car, after which Kir, Chianti, and Korn would kill Domon and his two bodyguards, was canceled when he discovered the transmitter Conan set up. Gin assumes the transmitter was set up by Kogoro, and gets permission from the boss to kill him. However, the assassination of Kogoro is interrupted by Conan whose soccer ball breaking Mouri's window distracts Chainti and Korn who were taking aim. Over the protests of Vermouth, Gin orders the two snipers to kill Conan as well for, as Vodka says, being suspicious. This too is interrupted when Shuichi Akai snipes the transmitter out from between Gin's fingers from 700 yards away. A brief exchange of gunfire ensues, but ends quickly after Akai shoots out Gin's scope and puts two bullets in his flak jacket. Gin recognizes the disadvantage and orders the Black Organization members to disperse without taking any more action against Conan or Kogoro. Gin and the other operatives assume the transmitter was set up by the FBI, but still has residual suspicions about Kogoro. Gin eventually decides not to kill Kogoro at the word of Vermouth.

====The Search for Kir (Manga: [[Volume_53#Mysterious_Job_Case|553,]] [[Volume_54#Mysterious_Job_Case|555]], Anime: [[The Shadow of the Black Organization|464-465]])====

====Clash of Red and Black (Manga: [[Volume_58#Kir_Transport_Case|599]]-[[Volume_59#Foreign_Suspect_Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|491-504]])====
=====Akai's Assassination (Manga: [[Volume_58#Foreign_Suspect_Case|605]]-[[Volume_59#Foreign_Suspect_Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash_of_Red_and_Black!#Friday_the_Thirteenth_.28Manga:_605-609.2C_501-504.29|501-504]])=====
Gin is the one that orders Kir to kill Akai. He doubted her allegiances to the Organization and was suspicious of her so he put her at gunpoint and forced her to call Akai to tell him to meet her somewhere. He tells her he will be watching the whole assassination so if she planned on doing anything suspicious, he would kill her. Kir kills Akai (even though there are theories that he may still be alive) and Gin is reassured of her allegiance to the Organization.

====Scar Akai and the Beika Department Store (Manga: [[Volume 67#Department Store Bomber Case|700-704]], Anime: [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|578]]-[[The Red Shaking Target|581]])====

Before Gin order Chianti to shoot Scar Akai, Vermouth appears and speaks with Gin about a plan she received the boss's authorization for. Scar Akai notices Chianti and smirks, which made her lose her aim and made Scar Akai disappear into the crowd. Gin lowers the gun of Kir's head and decides to drop the assassination, commenting how Bourbon likes to do what he pleases.

===Differences in the anime===
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
====The Shinkansen's Bomb Case ([[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Anime 5]])====
In the manga, this case occurred after [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin and Vodka are replaced with unrelated criminals who look and dress very similarly. The replacement of Gin and Vodka created a continuity error because the episode omitted how Conan learned their codenames, which was important to identifying [[Tequila]] as a member of the Black Organization in the [[Game Company Murder Case]].

====The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case ([[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Anime 13]])====
In the manga, this case occurred before [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin was replaced by a similar looking man with glasses who shot but did not kill [[Akemi Miyano]]. This created a rather large continuity error.<ref>Akemi's participation in the robbery was a deal she made with the Black Organization stipulating that if she successfully stole the money, she and her sister would be freed. However, the Organization had intended for her to fail so they could kill her for having a relationship with the FBI infiltrator [[Shuichi Akai]]. Although Akemi was successful, Gin killed her anyway. Her death, which the Black Organization refused to explain, was part of the motive that led to [[Sherry]] betraying the Organization.</ref> The continuity error was corrected in [[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]]. Other information that wound up being delayed included Gin revealing that Akemi had a scientist sister who was valuable to the Organization, and that he was left handed based on how he held his handgun.

====The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case ([[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|Anime 128]])====
This case corrected by continuity error created in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]] by having Gin kill Akemi. Akemi Miyano under the alias "Masami Hirota" and two other robbers successfully steal 10 billion yen. A mask with forged lipstick mark is left behind with the empty getaway vehicle by an unknown party to implicate Hirota. Later that night, Gin and Vodka assassinate the two other bank robbers and place Hirota's lipstick at the crime scene. After realizing she was set up my someone, Conan sneaks into Hirota's apartment and attempts to stop her from meeting the assailants. Ignoring Conan's warning, Hirota heads to an empty warehouse and meets Gin who reveals her true identity to be Akemi Miyano. She asks him to release her sister in exchange for the 10 billion yen; Gin however murders her and takes the keys to a coin locker containing the money from the robbery. Akemi then reveals to Conan the existence of the Black Organization, and the location that she hid the stolen money before dying.

===Movie Appearances===
====[[Countdown to Heaven]]====
Initially, Gin is involved in the plot because he is to eliminate a traitor in the Organization. Later though, he finds out that Sherry was attending a party at the Twin Tower Buildings, the targeted location, and decides to kill two birds with one stone. He shoots at Sonoko, who got her hair permed and looks a lot like Sherry, but he realizes that it wasn't her after all after Conan gets Sonoko to dodge the bullet and she starts panicking in a very uncomposed manner. He leaves the towers in the end, looking forward to killing Sherry the next time he sees her.

====[[The Raven Chaser]]====
In the beginning, during Conan's dream, Gin appears and is shown to know Conan's true identity. Later, in reality, Gin is looking for a memory card that contains information crucial to the Organization. His next appearance is during the climax of the movie. He, Vodka, Chianti, and Korn arrive at the top of Tokyo Tower in a black helicopter. Gin calls Irish and tells him to hold out the computer chip, then orders Chianti to kill Irish and destroy the chip in one shot. He spots someone (Conan) trying to hide and orders Vodka to start using the machine gun that was built into the helicopter. After Conan catapults the broken light into the back of the helicopter and Vodka is trying to get it back in control, he wonders who could have done so much damage to the Organization and leaves the scene.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Vodka ====
Gin is [[Vodka]]'s superior and they frequently work together, or are seen communicating with one another by phone. Vodka shows Gin absolute respect, using honorifics<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> while speaking with Gin rather than simply using his codename like other agents do. Gin in turn values Vodka for his obedience, so Gin occasionally orders Vodka to go on missions where he needs objective observation or that are annoying.<ref>Both of these were requirements in the Halloween Showdown. Gin (and the boss) needed a clear idea of what Vermouth was doing so Gin sent Vodka because he could trust him. The mission also required Vodka to dress up in a monster costume, something most other agents, Vodka included, would not have liked to do.</ref> Gin views and treats Vodka as an "inexperienced little brother".<ref name=CD239a>Conan drill page 239: 出来の悪い弟分</ref> Despite this, Gin does not truly trust anyone, including Vodka, and interrogated Vodka about his actions at gunpoint before. Although Vodka is slower than Gin and frequently jumps to incorrect conclusions, Gin patiently explains his deductions to Vodka creating a sort of Sherlock Holmes and Watson dynamic between the two. Vodka covers for Gin's weakness of not remembering the names or faces of those he has killed.

[[Image:Gin imagines Shiho naked.jpg|thumb|right|Gin imagines [[Shiho Miyano]] naked.]]

==== Sherry ====
{{Main|Gin and Sherry}}
Gin has an abnormal attachment for [[Shiho Miyano]] and seems to enjoy hunting for her, while she seems to hate him. They may have had a romantic relationship in the past.<ref name=CD239/> In the anime and in the manga, Gin also imagines Shiho naked twice. The latest occurance was in file 820.
{{clearright}}

==== Vermouth ====
Gin and [[Vermouth]] are or were in a sexual relationship with one another, since Vermouth in episode 230 asked gin if they could have a Martini tonight, noting that Martini is a mix of Vermouth and Gin. <ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref> They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Gin and Vermouth mostly trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her activities and intentions.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Tequila ====
Although [[Tequila]] is a subordinate of Gin's, he doesn't use honorifics like Vodka does<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> to refer to Gin, giving the impression Tequila and Gin appear equally ranked.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Pisco ====
Although [[Pisco]] and Gin are executive members and Pisco is Gin's senior, Gin dislikes and looks down on him.<ref name=CD239/> He does not show emotion when he kills him in the burning hotel.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Shuichi Akai ====
{{Main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}
Gin and [[Shuichi Akai]] are rivals and enemies.

*In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Gin placed 12th overall with 190 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Gin comes from the [[Wikipedia:Gin|hard liquor]] which is known for its juniper berry flavor. It follows the Black Organization codename pattern of hard liquor codenames for men. The codename is probably also a pun on Gin's hair color. Gin pronounced with a hard "g" like "gun" in Japanese (ぎん ''Gin'') means "silver" (銀). This pun was used by a victim to implicate Gin as his killer in [[Movie 5|Countdown to Heaven]].

Gin's English name, Melkior, is the name of one of the Magi, or three kings, who visits the infant Jesus in Christian tradition. The name is Semitic and means 'king city.' Gin's English name was later switched to Gin to follow the Japanese.

{{cquote|"So long... great detective."}}
{{cquote|"Traitors can't hide their scent."}}

== Trivia==
* Gin is left handed.<ref name=304p16>Manga Volume 30, File 9, pg 16: "Genta's Trap"</ref>
* Gin can't seem to remember faces he encounters or kills, which explains that he doesn't remember [[Shinichi]].
* His favorite car is his [[Vehicles_in_Detective_Conan#Porsche_356A|Porsche 356A]], which he refers to as "German black rain frog". Notably, the cars registration A 48-69, the same numbers that are used in APTX-4869. In episodes after the reunion with Sherry, the plate is changed to MI 43-68.[[Image:Gin's Porsche.png|150px|thumb|right|Gin's Porsche.]]
* Gin's design has drastically been changed throughout the anime. At first, his hair is actually light brown, and the line structure is not as detailed. In addition, part of his hair comes down his face across his nose. As the series progresses Gin's hair is blond, and the line structure is strongly detailed. Moreover, there is no hair that comes down across his face anymore. Gin's hair color changes once again in Opening 24 where it is then silver to match his manga depiction.
* One glare from Gin can end an argument before it even starts. In episode 176, Gin and Vodka were jaywalking and a man from vehicle that had been forced to stop sharply was preparing to yell at them. Gin looks at him harshly, and the man fearfully shrinks back into his car. In some regions, it is believed that the people with green eyes can bestow the evil eye, intentionally or unintentionally.
* In Episode 425, Gin took Korn's rifle to locate Shuichi Akai who was on a building that is 700 yards. At that moment Akai shot at Gin and the bullet was very visible on Gin's reticule. Gin managed to move his head in time to mostly dodge the bullet.

[[Miwako Sato]] reminisces about the bomber case three years ago. Three years ago, a bomber sent a fax to the Tokyo Metropolitan Police containing the location of a bomb in the form of a riddle. [[Jinpei Matsuda]] discovers the bombs location and realizes that the bomb contains a clue an even larger bomb and that the clue is only revealed during the last three seconds before detonation; Matsuda sacrifices his life and allowed the police to locate the second bomb. In the present time, the bomber returns and sends a fax to the Police station.

Conan deduces the code and disarms the bomb with one second remaining and reveals the code is refers to the English word "Detective" and when flipped around in its kanji form, says Teitan, the name of the school. The bomb at Teitan High is disarmed and the bomber is captured.And when the bomber tries to set it off he realizes it has already been defused. When he is cornered by the police, he attempts to escape but Sato chases him and corners him attempting to take revenge for killing Matsuda. Takagi comes just at time to prevent Sato from doing so and brings her back to her senses. As they attempt to kiss Megure breaks it up and the case ends with the bomber being arrested.

When they prepare to head back, they find out the captain left with the boat, stranding them on the Onikame. They decide to wait in an abandoned house until a rescue boat arrives

==== The Investigation ====
Heiji tells them the Anchor he found was approximately four to five years old, the same time period on which the strange events have been occurring on Onikame. It began with the mayor's daughter, Miyako Kenshiro, who was kidnapped and a year after that, burglars broke into the mayor's house stealing his byōbu and murdering a maid. They decide to search the house in case the culprit was hiding in one of the rooms and come upon evidence that Miyako lived in the house when she was young. After finding the house secure, they await for a boat. In the middle of the night, a boat crashes onto the pier. They investigate and find out it was their boat from before and that the captain was beaten to death.

When Conan and Heiji find the name "Kaa" and "Chi" written by Miyako many years ago, they realize who the names are referring to. Conan and Heiji have an epiphany and realize the culprit faked Taira's time of death. Heiji then calls Yoshitsuga Kume, one of the Staff members, so they could talk privately.

Conan went to the restroom and found the needle from the trash. He heard Ran, Kazuha, and Kogoro coming. Kogoro is talking to Ran and Kazuha about what he had overheard it in the restaurant.

So Ray just went upstairs and found the door on the mop against the wall. He wondered who did it. Conan appeared and confronts '''Ray Curtis''' that he's the culprit. He first explains how Ray managed to switch on the light. He points out that the room that Ray switched on the light was right below the victim's room. He then kicks the soccer ball at the floor which the victim's room was on and the ball then hits the broom that is set up such that the cabinet door is supported by it. After the ball hits the mop, the cabinet door will fall and hit the switch, thus the light will switch on. Ray then asks for proof and pointed out that the police found no gunpowder on him and that even if the find that he had ask to wash his previous set of clothes it could be just because he sweats too much. Conan then asks about his shoes. He deduced that Ray had not taken off his shoes while committing the murder. Ray reveals that the victim created false rumors about him and destroyed his life. Also Ray's wife left him and committed a suicide. Ray couldn't take it anymore. Suddenly, Conan tells Ray to stop. He tells Ray that even if he is facing a bitter aspect of life, drugs and murder are foul without any excuse, deserve a red card, for a loser. Ray smiled and admits that he was a cheater. He said he was a bad player and lost a game. He also said he must be ejected for his late wife and his big fan like Conan. So now, Ray went downstairs and turned himself in to the police.

At Heiji's house, Conan felt so depressed but Heiji later cheers Conan up. Ran and Kazuha mention how they look like brothers.

== Trivia ==
* In this case, there is a character named Ray Curtis, a professional soccer player. He got his name of a popular detective named Rey Curtis from the ''[[Wikipedia:Law & Order|Law & Order]]'' series.

* Also one of the famous people Kogoro mentioned was Mai Kuraki, the singer who does some of the opening and closing theme songs for the show.
* Two-Mix cameo as well since the case where they were kidnapped, but just appear only.

Disguise

2012-08-27T07:40:05Z

MagicConan14: /* Detective Conan vs. real world disguise */

Disguises are a very commonly used plot device for cases in Detective Conan. In most cases, the disguises are simple: wigs, makeup, sunglasses, clothing, etc., are used to alter the person's face and build to give the impression they are a different person. Some degree of disguise ability is common among magicians and actors. A few characters specialize in disguise and are capable of copying a person's voice and appearance exactly.

==Types of disguises in Detective Conan==
===Simple===
Most characters use simple disguises to change their appearance. Usually said disguise is fairly weak and only just hides the person's identity. Examples of simple disguises include...
*wigs and fake facial hair
*makeup
*sunglasses and glasses
*clothing such as hats, scarves, or high collared coats
*padding and platform shoes
*mechanical voice alteration

===Elaborate===
Relatively few characters possess the knowledge to create detailed disguises that would hold up under scrutiny.

====Latex masks====
{{Main|Wikipedia:Latex mask}}
Although their use is relatively rare, latex masks are a very successful disguise strategy in Detective Conan. They are portrayed as being practically perfect renditions of others' faces. Detective Conan latex masks stand up even under close range inspection -even quickly assembled ones. They also stand up to minor abuse<ref>Vermouth as Araide had her hair ruffled for example</ref> and weather<ref>Vermouth's silver haired serial killer survived some rain</ref>. They do have the drawback of being disruptable. Kaitou Kid was forced not to wear goggles because it would disrupt his Jirokichi disguise. Face pinching is the most common technique used to detect a latex mask, and is gleefully employed by Kaitou Kid hunter [[Ginzo Nakamori|Inspector Nakamori]]

[[Kuroba Kaito]] has demonstrated the ability to apply latex masks in a matter of seconds for a practically flawless disguise. How he stores them on his person without damaging them is unknown. Other characters like Yukiko take several hours to apply a mask which is much more realistic.

There are four known expert practitioners who can create latex masks [[Kuroba Kaito]], [[Kuroba Toichi]], [[Vermouth]], and [[Kudo Yukiko]]. [[Chikage Kuroba]], aka Phantom Lady, may also be an expert with masks as well.

====Voice mimicry====
Voice mimicry is a relatively rare skill in Detective Conan. There are four known expert practitioners who can mimic a range of voices without the aid of a device, [[Kuroba Kaito]], [[Kuroba Toichi]], [[Vermouth]], and [[Kudo Yukiko]]. Kuroba Kaito has demonstrated the greatest range and flexibility so far: mimicking children, elderly, men, and women alike. He can also copy someone's voice after hearing just a little of that person's speech. Kuroba Toichi's voice mimicry skills have not been seen much because of his relatively few appearances, but as the first Kaito Kid and the teacher of Vermouth and Yukiko, it can be assumed he excelled at this. Vermouth has been seen mimicking adult men and women's voices. Yukiko's ability seems lesser than the other three, sticking with adult women's voices, but she shown the ability to copy regional accents.

Characters using Agasa's [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice-changing bowtie]] can easily and precisely copy anyone's voice. Conan is by far the most frequent user although Agasa<ref>To fool Ran into thinking Conan and Shinichi are not the same person in the beginning</ref> has used it as well. Professor Agasa also created a variation on the bowtie called the [[Voice-Changing Face Mask]] which also enables voice imitation, but additionally muffles the wearer's voice so that they sound ill. [[Ai Haibara]] and Conan have both employed this gadget. Neither the bowtie nor the mask cannot imitate regional accents.

====Plastic Surgery====
Several characters underwent plastic surgery in order to change their facial appearance or copy some one else's face. This typically cannot be done on short notice as it requires sufficient funds and several months to heal after extensive changes.
*One of the residents of the blue castle disguised as old family head Masuyo Mamiya in the [[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case]] case.
*Makoto Okuda copied [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s face in the [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo]] case.

====Mechanical mockup====
[[Professor Agasa]] made a mechanical mockup which worn on his shoulders used that makes him seem like a much taller male figure. Agasa has only used it once in the [[Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case]].

==Characters who specialize in disguise==
Many of the characters who specialize in disguise have studied under a magician, and many magicians in Detective Conan also have disguise abilities.

===Chikage Kuroba===
Also known as Phantom Lady, [[Chikage Kuroba]] was a thief in her young years who specialized at disguise indicated by her nickname "the women of twenty faces". She often used stage tricks during her heists although it is unknown whom she learned them from. After meeting with Toichi on a heist, she married him and presumably taught him some of her disguise art.

<gallery perrow="6">
</gallery>

===Toichi Kuroba===
An excellent stage magician and first [[Kaitou Kid]], Toichi Kuroba taught many of the current disguise artists in Detective Conan. He himself may have learned some of his disguise from his wife, Chikage Kuroba. Toichi Kuroba created the thief known as Kaitou Kid, a thief which specializes in getting close to, stealing, and escaping with targets by impersonating those at the scene like officers or owners. Toichi likely specialized in the same techniques that his son now uses: quick changing skills, latex masks, perfect voice imitation, and various gadgets.

<gallery perrow="6">
</gallery>

===Kaito Kuroba===
:''Main article: [[Kaitou_Kid#Kaito_Kuroba_in_disguises|List of disguises Kaito Kuroba used]]''
[[Kaito Kuroba]] is the only son of the [[Toichi Kuroba]] and [[Chikage Kuroba]]. Kaito's ability to disguise is most likely learned from his parents. Kaito has taken over the role of [[Kaitou Kid]] and uses quick changing skills, latex masks, perfect voice imitation, and various gadgets. Kaito specializes at quick disguises, altering his appearance in a matter of seconds while shrouded by smoke or commotion. Kaito's disguises are rarely used in the long term, and Kaito occasionally says things "out-of-character", leading to his disguise being uncovered.

<gallery perrow="6">
</gallery>

===Vermouth===
:''Main article: [[Vermouth#List of disguises used|List of disguises Vermouth used]]''
[[Vermouth]] is a [[Black Organization]] specialist disguise artist and actress who studied under [[Toichi Kuroba]]. While highly competent at short and quick disguise, Vermouth excels at long term impersonation, and is capable of taking over someone's life and fooling even their close friends and family. She has used this ability to create two different star actress identities for herself: Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard, which serve as her public faces and give her mobility and access to events exclusive to the rich and famous.

Her disguise ability was first shown in the episode 230 ([[The Mysterious Passenger]]), when she was shown dressed as a waiter, provoking both [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].

</gallery>

===Yukiko Kudo===
:''Main article: [[Yukiko_Kudo#List_of_disguises_used|List of disguises Yukiko used]]''
Shinichi's mother, Yukiko also used to study with [[Toichi Kuroba]]. By her own admission, her disguise ability is not quite as good as Vermouth's and Kaito's, but is portrayed far more true to life than either of the two. She is capable of making latex masks, but applying them typically takes hours. Her voice mimicry may also be fairly limited, and she tends to stick to women's voices, although she does regional accents quite well. She often prefers a simple wig, hat, and altered voice combination which is easily seen through by her son.

==List of Cases involving a disguise==
'''This list is currently incomplete.'''<br />
For long term or repeatedly used disguises, the first instance of use will be mentioned i.e (Conan's bowtie, Vermouth's Araide)

'''The Kidnapping of a Company President's Daughter Case''' (Manga: 2-5, Anime: 2)
*[[Conan Edogawa]] - Glasses: Used to make his face less recognizable. The original pair of glasses Conan used (before receiving the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses]] from [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]) belonged to his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]]. Because the glasses used prescription lenses, Conan popped the lenses out before wearing them when seeing Ran the first time in his shrunken body. The lack of lenses in the glasses goes unnoticed by other characters.

'''An Idol's Locked Room Murder Case''' (Manga: 6-9, Anime: 3)
*[[Yoko Okino]] - Hat: to make her face less recognizable
*[[Conan Edogawa]] - [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]]: to copy Kogoro and Shinichi's voice. This is a very often recurring method Conan uses to impersonate others.

'''Aka Oni Mura Fire Festival Murder Case''' (Manga: 10-12, Anime: 38)
*Negishi Masaki impersonator - Hat, Sunglasses, Coat: He was paid by Negishi Masaki's murderer to impersonate the victim to give the killer an alibi. Disguise foiled by being oppositely handed of the real Negishi Masaki.

'''The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case''' (Manga: 13-16, Anime 13, 128)
*[[Akemi Miyano]] - Makeup, Glasses, School Uniform, Hairstyle: Used to make herself look younger. Disguise foiled by imperfect application when used a second time.



==Detective Conan vs. real world disguise==
Detective Conan ignores the limitations of real world disguises, and many of the abilities shown by disguise artists like Vermouth or Kaito Kid are impossible. In the real world, trying to ''impersonate'' other people is fairly difficult; the more complicated a disguise is and the longer it is used, the more likely it is to fail.

Creating a latex facial mask to imitate someone's face is possible in real life, but it takes on the order of hours to prepare and apply accurately and requires having a good model of the face in question. In Detective Conan, [[Kaitou Kid]] puts on masks in seconds, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7UPYMA5jNM which is improbable when perfection is required]. Latex mask application is more realistic in [[Yukiko]]'s case, who had 7 hours of time to dress [[Heiji]] and [[Conan]].

While disguise characters in Detective Conan are portrayed as having limitlessly flexible voices, voice mimicry is extremely difficult. Would be voice copiers typically run up against the physical range of one's voice; men cannot reach higher octaves while women struggle with low voices. Also it is extremely difficult to mimic voices in general even with practice, especially arbitrary voices. Accents greatly add to the errors one can make. Again, Yukiko seems to be a fairly accurate portrayal of an extremely good real life voice changer: preferring to create new voices rather than imitate others which is more believable while also apparently limited in her range to women.

Ignoring latex masks, other disguises which change one's body shape are somewhat realistic in Detective Conan, although the speed at which they are applied stretches the bounds of reality. Carefully placed padding and custom fit clothing are certainly possible, as are disguised platform shoes to add height. Quick change is also possible in real life, although it may be difficult to disguise the tearaway clothes as normal clothes under scrutiny.

'''{{nihongo|Shuichi Akai|赤井秀一|Akai Shūichi}}''' is an [[FBI]] agent and a major figure in the battle against the [[Black Organization]]. He once assumed the identity of '''{{nihongo|Dai Moroboshi|諸星大|Moroboshi Dai}}''' and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename '''{{nihongo|Rye|ライ}}'''. During this time he made enemies with [[Gin]] and [[Bourbon]] and became romantically involved with [[Akemi Miyano]].

== Background ==
Shuichi Akai is an American of Japanese descent and member of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, on special assignment in Japan to capture [[Vermouth]]. His superior is [[James Black]] and his partner is [[Jodie Starling]].<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple 5</ref> He had infiltrated the Black Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi - and the codename "Rye" - as a mole<ref>Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past</ref> and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, to feed information to the FBI. In order to facilitate the latter, and later because he had genuinely developed feelings for Akemi, Akai saw himself forced to break up his then on-going relationship with Jodie.<ref>Manga Chapter 677: The Fated Individual</ref> Later on, his cover in the Black Organization was accidentally blown by his colleague [[Andre Camel]], and when Akemi was killed, he declared her murderer, [[Gin]] (with whom he seems to have had some tensions even before his exposure), his personal enemy.<ref>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

=== Infiltration of the Black Organization ===
Five years prior to the current time-line, [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] infiltrated the [[Black Organization]] using the alias Dai Moroboshi as a mole and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, in order to meet [[Shiho Miyano]] and use her influence to get into the Black Organization.<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> Although at first he was simply using Akemi as a tool, they both fell in love with each other. Akai distinguished himself as an agent and two years prior to the current time-line received the codename Rye and was called to work under executive agent [[Gin]]. The FBI laid a trap hoping to capture Gin at a warehouse where the meeting was supposed to take place,<ref name=599p9/> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

== Personality ==
Akai is a very professional agent. Even in personal matters, he remains cool, even detached, from anyone, but his redeeming value is a great sense of loyalty to anyone he knows. He is a skilled and relentless pursuer and detective, qualities which have labeled him the number one enemy of the Black Organization and earned him the nickname "Silver Bullet". He looks forward to opportunities to hunt the Black Organization down and get revenge for Akemi. He also acts somewhat independently among the FBI and even his boss James Black has trouble getting ahold of him.

James Black says Akai is an introverted person who doesn't easily get close to people and he has become even more closed off since Akemi's death.<ref name=502p13>Manga Volume 49, File 2, page 13: "New Order"</ref> He doesn't often say what he is thinking. Akai does seem to get along well with Conan.

== Appearance ==
Akai is a tall man of Japanese descent with short wavy hair. His eyes have permanent bags underneath them that make him appear sleep deprived. Other characters often describe him as evil eyed or having a sharp gaze. His eyes are blue in the manga (like every other character) and green in the anime. He always wears a knit cap.

Up to one year ago, he had very long waist length hair. He cut it after the death of Akemi Miyano "to freshen up."

Akai is left-handed.

== Abilities ==
=== Intelligence ===

Akai is capable of thinking on par with Conan. He once set up a sniper ambush at a nearby building, knowing that the Black Organization will come and try to kill Kogoro. He also mentioned that he knew that "making them think the FBI set up the transmitter was the priority." <ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref>

=== Sniping ===
Akai is shown to be very capable at sniping, to the point of shooting a small piece of gum out of Gin's hand from about 700 yards away. He also managed to get a shot on Gin from the same distance. <ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref>

=== Driving ===
Akai is a skilled driver. He can overtake many cars quickly in heavy traffic conditions and drift around a u-turn.<ref name=420p14>Manga Volume 41, File 7, page 14: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net" </ref> He drives a Chevrolet C1500.

== Plot overview ==
=== Bus Jack (Manga: [[Volume_29#Bus_Hijacking_Case|287-289]], Anime: [[The Mysterious Passenger|230-231]]) ===
[[File:Akai First Appearance.PNG|thumb|right|125px|Akai's first appearance on the bus]]
[[Conan]], [[Agasa]], and the [[Detective Boys]] board a bus headed to a ski resort. Akai gets on the bus wearing a face mask in order to tail [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Vermouth]] who is disguised as Dr. [[Tomoaki Araide]]. The bus is hijacked by robbers demanding their boss be freed from prison and Conan discovers they must have an accomplice in the back row where Shuichi Akai is sitting. Akai becomes a suspect. After the boss is freed, the robbers call Akai and Araide up to the front to put on the hijackers' ski jackets. Conan ruins the hijackers' plans by directing the bus driver to slam on the brakes, sending the hijackers crashing to the floor. Akai keeps his footing and goes to attack one of the hijackers but is confused when the robber faceplants before he could strike: Conan's tranquilizer dart got him first. The police move in to apprehend the hijackers and Akai watches as Araide accosts Conan for wanting to leave before having the gash on his arm tended. Before moving out, Akai records a message saying he couldn't find Vermouth's target, [[Shiho Miyano]].<ref>It is clear Akai is looking for Shiho Miyano, Vermouth's target, because the FBI already know Araide is Vermouth at this point in time and don't need to look for her.</ref>

=== James Black Kidnapping (Manga: [[Volume_32#Kidnapped_Tourist_Case|325-327]], Anime: [[The Man from Chicago|258-259]]) ===
[[File:Akai's happy face.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Akai leers at the kidnappers.]]
[[James Black]] plans to meet with Akai in a stadium lobby after the Paul & Annie animal circus show. He was unable to meet with Akai at first because he was accosted by reporters thinking he was the show's wealthy sponsor and dragged away from them by the Detective Boys. Akai and James probably haven't met in a while because James doesn't know Akai cut his previously waist length hair. James is then mistakenly kidnapped by criminals who plan to ransom him. Akai, looking for James Black, drives past the Detective Boys. A prior member of the Black Organization, Akai's gaze triggers Haibara's senses, and she whips around asking if Conan saw who was driving the Chevrolet truck.

Somehow, Akai figures out where James is and catches up to the kidnappers' fake police car and begins following it. Akai quickly zooms ahead when Conan and the police arrange for an army of police cars to box in the kidnappers' car to force it to stop. Akai drives by Agasa's car and looks in, and Conan shields Haibara from his view. In the confusion of the aftermath, James leaves with Akai before he could be questioned by police. James retells the events of the kidnapping and asks if Akai brought him to Japan to "make (Akai's) lover come back to (Akai)" Akai affirms this and says that he wants "his lover (koibito) to regret they ever left me with tears of blood."<ref name=327p18>Manga Volume 32, File 10, page 18: "A Stupid Plan"</ref>. Akai's "lover" is a reference to the ironic codename he gave Gin: "koibito" meaning lover. He later makes Gin cry the foretold tears of blood when Akai's bullet grazes Gins cheek in the events of "Black Impact".

=== Conan's suspicion and Ran's memory ===
Conan suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the director's morning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. After the bus jack, [[Haibara]] tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is Shuichi Akai whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name=291p11>Manga Volume 29, File 7, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"</ref> Conan recognizes Akai in the James Black kidnapping case.<ref name=P&A>Manga Volume 32, File 9-11: "The Man from Chicago"</ref> Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of Akai investigating them when one of the suspects says he saw someone wearing a black beanie (really [[Makoto]]).<ref name=332p15>Manga Volume 33, File 4, Page 15: "The Bloody Valentine 2"</ref>

Ran notices Akai leave the restaurant where [[Miwako Sato]] was having her [[Wikipedia:Miai|miai]] with officer [[Shiratori]]. Akai had come to check on on Dr. Araide who is really Vermouth in disguise. Ran realizes she met him somewhere once before, but she cannot remember where.<ref name=329p14>Manga Volume 33, File 1, page 14: "Satou's Odds"</ref> Later, at a chocolate-making cottage, one of the suspects says he shot at a tall man wearing a black beanie thinking he was a bear.

Akai stakes out the Mouri Detective Agency.<ref name=337p18>Manga Volume 33, File 9, Page 18: "Life of a Flower"</ref>

=== The Rotten Apple Case (Manga: [[Volume_34#Golden_Apple_Case|350]]-[[Volume_35#Golden_Apple_Case|354]], Anime: [[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|286-288]]) ===
[[Image:Shuuichi_Akai_long_hair.jpg|thumb|right|210|Shuichi Akai in New York.]] One year prior to the current timeline, Shinichi, Ran, [[Yukiko]], Akai, and Vermouth are in America. After leaving Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran at the theater, Sharon Vineyard, aka, Vermouth, disguises as a silver haired serial killer to lure out Shuichi Akai and kill him. Vermouth underestimates Akai and he shoots her in the side. Vermouth escapes, but Akai continues to look for her. During the search, Akai encounters a crying Ran who is waiting in the rain by a taxi for Shinichi to return. The taxi driver and Ran both initially mistake Akai for the serial killer, and the taxi drives off leaving Ran behind. Akai asks Ran if she saw a man with long silver hair. One of Akai's colleagues comes up to ask Akai if he found the serial killer and Ran sees the FBI logo on his jacket. Akai grabs her elbow to take her from the area, but she resists because Shinichi is still around. Akai harshly orders Ran to leave the area as it is dangerous.<ref>Manga Chapter 354: Golden Apple 5</ref>

=== Meeting with Ran (Manga: [[Volume_37#Footsteps_of_Darkness|379-380]], Anime: [[The Dark Footprint|308]]-[[Contact with the Black Organization|309]]) ===
[[File:Ran_and_Akai_meet.jpg|thumb|right|Ran and Akai meet coincidentally in the street.]]Conan and Ran are walking home from the Itakura case. Ran talks to Conan about how it is hard waiting for Shinichi to return and begins to cry. They approach a phone booth and Akai steps out. Ran and Akai recognize one another.
{{Cquote|Akai: You are crying again... You are always crying.<br />Ran: Is it wrong?<br />Akai: No. ... I was just remembering. You remind me of a woman... One who was always crying in the dark trying to sound casual, a stupid woman.|The conversation between Akai and Ran at the phonebooth|Manga Chapter 380: "White Snow, Black Shadow"}}
Conan is surprised Ran and Akai seem to know each other and asks Ran who Akai is. Ran replies with the story of her meeting with Akai in New York. She mentions she saw him with a man with in an FBI jacket. Akai has walked away in the meanwhile and Conan loses sight of him. Conan is surprised at this new information and wonders what the FBI could be doing in Japan. He also considers the possibility that Shuichi Akai is a Black Organization spy in the FBI and killed the serial killer in New York and might be involved with Haibara's past.

=== Seeing Haibara and tailing the Detective Boys ===
==== Contact with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume_38#Footsteps_of_Darkness|383]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|311]]) ====
Haibara finds Conan passed out in a locker at Kenbashi Station. As they leave, Akai sees Haibara close up and immediately recognizes her. Akai's focus caused Haibara to sense his presence and she spins around in fear, but he has already retreated and she doesn't catch sight of him.

==== Following Yukiko (Manga: [[Volume_41#Dark_and_Cluttered_Room_Case|417-419]], Anime [[Secret of the Tohto Film Development Studio|335-336]]) ====
Shuichi Akai, suspicious that Haibara is Shiho, asks two people (possibly [[Fusae Campbell#Connection with Shuichi Akai|Fusae Campbell and Billy]]) to follow [[Yukiko]] who is driving the Detective Boys to a film studio to see a preview showing of [[Kamen Yaiba]]. The two people take several pictures, one of which Akai keeps in his truck after this. Conan and Yukiko notice the two are following. They continue to wait in the film developer's parking lot until Takagi asks them if they have been drinking at Conan's request. They report to Akai that they are unable to follow any more. Akai looks at the newly developed pictures they gave to him and he thinks Haibara's resemblance to Shiho Miyano is too similar to ignore.

==== Four Porsches (Manga: [[Volume_41#Four_Porsches_Case|420-422]], Anime [[The Four Porsches|338-339]]) ====
While driving, Akai sees Conan on TV broadcast waiting in line to get porridge. He quickly heads towards the direction of the shopping center where Conan is. When he arrives, a murder had already been committed in the underground parking lot and the police have arrived. Agasa calls Araide to pick up Haibara, and Akai overhears the conversation through the bugs planted in Araide's office. He follows Jodie and Araide to Agasa's house and waits out front listening in to the bugs Jodie just planted at Agasa's.

=== Showdown with Vermouth (Manga: [[Volume_42#Halloween_Party_Case|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===
[[File:Akai with shotgun.jpg|thumb|right|150px|Akai shoots Vermouth to protect himself and Jodie]]
Conan and Jodie confront Vermouth and reveal her disguise. During the confrontation, Jodie is shot by [[Calvados]], a sniper who was hidden on some shipping crates. Calvados also attempts to shoot Ran who rushed to Haibara in order to shield her from the gunfire. Akai, unseen, sneaks from behind and disables Calvados, silently breaking both his legs and taking his rifle, shotgun, and three pistols. Akai walks around the shipping crates towards Jodie and Vermouth's location. Vermouth mistakes the incoming footsteps for Calvados and orders him to kill Jodie. Vermouth is shocked when it is Akai who walks into view. Akai tauntingly comments that [[Calvados]], a liquor made from apples, matches Vermouth's FBI codename "Rotten Apple". Provoked by his remark, Vermouth attempts to shoot him, but Akai fires the shotgun first into her flak jacket, breaking several of her ribs and tearing Vermouth's face slightly which proves that she isn't wearing a mask. To escape, Vermouth grabs the unconscious Conan as a hostage and roars away in Jodie's car. To prevent them from following, she aims with the side mirror and shoots Araide's car's gas tank, causing it to explode.
{{quote|Akai: To shoot the gasoline tank using the mirror and with that body is... not bad.<br />Jodie: What are you being impressed for!? She just got away with a hostage!|Jodie and Akai's conversation about Vermouth's getaway|Manga Volume 42, File 10, pg 12}}
Akai comments that they at least have her accomplice Calvados, but at that moment, Calvados commits suicide with a pocket pistol that Akai overlooked. Akai hears the police sirens and tells Jodie to make up a story about randomly getting involved in a kidnapping case. Akai's parting words to Jodie are that he still isn't ready to face Haibara, likely referring to his use of Haibara's sister, [[Akemi Miyano]], to infiltrate the Black Organization which resulted in her being killed when they uncovered that he was a spy.

=== Black Impact (Manga: [[Volume_48#Black_Organization_vs._FBI|499]]-[[Volume_49#Black_Organization_vs_FBI|504]], Anime: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|425]]) ===
[[Image:Akai sniping.jpg|thumb|left|Akai with a sniper rifle aiming at the Black Organization 700 yards away.]]
Kogoro Mouri, Ran, and Conan help newscaster [[Rena Mizunashi]] with a door bell prank case. In order to catch the prankster, Conan sticks a bug and microphone wrapped in gum outside the door. The case is solved, but Conan forgets the bug and it gets stuck on Rena's shoe. Unfortunately Conan discovers Rena is a member of the Black Organization, [[Kir]], and she is participating in an [[Black Organization#Domon Yasudera|assassination mission]]. Conan has to retrieve the tracker before the Black Organization notices and suspects that Kogoro planted it. Jodie Starling contacts Akai and tells him about the predicament, but doesn't say what he will do to help. James Black comments that Akai was always the reticent type, but has closed up even more since the death of his girlfriend (later revealed to be [[Akemi Miyano]]).

After hearing a lot of static on their radios, Gin looks for the cause of the interference and finds Conan's tracker on Kir's shoe which had been left in his car when she changed clothes. With the boss's approval, Gin abandons the original assassination plans and heads towards the Mouri Detective Agency to kill Kogoro. Conan stops Kogoro from being assassinated, but Gin still has Conan's tracker which has his fingerprints on it. As Gin holds it up for a closer look, it is shot out from between his fingers by Akai who had set up with a sniper rifle on a building 700 yards away.
[[Image:Gin sniped.jpg|thumb|right|Gin is shot by Akai.]]
Gin, perhaps anticipating who would be responsible, grabs Korn's rifle and uses it to locate Shuichi Akai. At this time, Akai fires a bullet that passes through Gin's scope and grazes his left cheek causing it to bleed. At this time Akai says "we finally meet, my lovely, lovely koibito-san".<ref name=504p14>Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 14: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref> Gosho Aoyama uses a Japanese literary device to give the word "koibito" a double meaning. Japanese in Detective Conan includes the pronunciation, called "[[wiki:furigana|furigana]]", in [[wiki:hiragana|hiragana]] next to the [[wiki:kanji|kanji]]. Normally the furigana matches the word in the kanji; however, Gosho Aoyama used the kanji for "old enemy" (宿敵), but the furigana for "koibito" (こいびと), giving Akai's word a double meaning. The true meaning of what Akai meant is "old enemy", but what he said out loud was the furigana "koibito". Akai had ironically nicknamed Gin "loved one" despite thinking of him as his arch enemy. By grazing Gin's cheek, Akai fulfilled his promise he made at the end of the James Black Kidnapping to make his "lover" bleed tears of blood.

Akai then fired twice into Gin's bullet proof vest to encourage him to leave quietly, purposefully avoiding killing Gin although he was capable of finishing him. Akai's stated reason for letting Gin and the rest of the Black Organization members go was to avoid having a gunfight erupt in the middle of Beika city where innocent people might be injured.<ref name=504p17>Manga Volume 49, File 4, pg 17: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref> Despite Gin's reservations, Akai also successfully made the Black Organization think that the FBI was behind the tracker, and that Kogoro had been the bait to draw them into Akai's range.

=== Kir in the hospital (Manga: [[Volume_53#Giant_Hammer_Case|550]], Anime: [[The Shadow of the Black Organization|462]]) ===
The FBI discuss what to do with Mizunashi Rena. Akai wants to use her as bait to trap the Black Organization and points out her her name is a pun on "007", James Bond's code number. <ref>Manga Volume 53, File 7</ref>

=== Red vs. Black (Manga: [[Volume_57#Fake_Patient_Case|595]]-[[Volume_59#Foreign_Suspect_Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-504]]) ===
Eventually, following the capture of Organization member [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]], Akai was introduced to Conan, and the two worked on a plan to re-introduce Rena, who was in fact a CIA mole, back into the ranks of the Organization. One condition of her reintegration, however, was that she should personally kill Akai, who had been declared the Organization's most dangerous enemy. Mizunashi lured him to an isolated spot for a meeting and shot him at point-blank range before incinerating his truck with a bomb.

==== The Fake Patient (Manga: [[Volume_57#Fake_Patient_Case|595]]-[[Volume_58#Fake_Patient_Case|598]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|495-497]]) ====
After hearing that [[Eisuke]] has zeroed in on Haido Central Hospital after finding a clue, Conan and Jodie discuss [[Ethan Hondou]]. Jodie says Akai verified Ethan Hondou was a CIA agent. Conan asks Ran more about the clue Eisuke found and discovers that it was someone dialing the [[Anokata|Black Organization's boss's phone number]]. Jodie reports to Akai that a member of the Black Organization has infiltrated the hospital. Akai takes the news in stride and goes to Rena's room. He already suspects Rena is a member of the CIA as well, and wants to use her to gain more leverage against the Organization.

Conan asks one of the nurses about Eisuke and she tells Conan about a different patient, a member of the Black Organization, who had asked about Rena Mizunashi. Akai seems pleased to hear the news, and thinks it is a good opportunity to add a second lead. The FBI gets profiles of three patients most likely to be the Black Organization member and Conan films them. Akai and Conan both correctly deduce the member of the Black Organization hiding in the hospital is [[Kusuda Rikumichi]]. The FBI watch Kusuda, but get caught and he threatens to blow up a bomb. Kusuda escapes in a car with Akai and Conan in hot pursuit. After realizing it is Akai who is chasing him, Kusuda commits suicide. Akai knows that now Kusuda's reports have stopped, the Black Organization will know Rena is at the Haido Central Hospital and plan a counter-attack.

==== The Black Organization's counterattack (Manga: [[Volume_58#Kir_Transport_Case|599-605]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|498-503]]) ====
The FBI hold a meeting and decide that they have to move Kir now that the Black Organization knows she is at Haido Central Hospital. Akai proposes that the best idea is to set a trap for the Organization by allowing them to come after Kir and then ambushing them. Akai heads to the roof alone to think of a plan. Conan takes the opportunity to ask James Black about Akai's past. James reveals that Akai wants revenge for his girlfriend who was killed by the Organization. Akai had infiltrated the Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi by dating Miyano Akemi in order to get close to a [[Sherry|high ranking scientist]], feed information to the FBI, and hopefully learn the identity of [[anokata|the boss]].<ref>Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past</ref> Dai earned the codename "Rye" and was called to work for [[Gin]], but the FBI bungled the plan to capture Gin, so Akai was discovered and expelled from the Organization. James Black further explains that the Organization wanted to get rid of Akemi too, but couldn't because her sister was too valuable to them. The Organization came up with a plan to have Akemi perform [[Volume_2#File_013_-_The_Missing_Man|a billion yen bank heist]] as an excuse to kill her when she failed. Contrary to the Org's expectations, Akemi succeeded but was killed by Gin regardless. Akai has kept the last text message from Akemi asking if Akai will date her for real if she leaves the Organization. There is a further P.S. that has not been revealed.

Conan and Akai meet on the roof and exchange plans. Their first move is to get Kir's cooperation. Akai and Conan trick the FBI officers on guard to leave Kir's room which provides an opportunity for Eisuke to sneak in and "wake the sleeping princess". With Eisuke's provocation, Kir stops pretending that she is unconscious. Conan and Akai enter the room, and Akai escorts Eisuke out so that they can convince Kir to return to Organization. Akai and Conan answer Kir's questions about how they found out she was a CIA agent and she fills them in on her past. Kir agrees to their plan to trick the Organization and promises to funnel information back to the FBI as well. Akai calls [[Andre Camel]] to help with their secret plan which requires also fooling the FBI who don't yet know Kir is a CIA agent.

The FBI plans to put Rena in one of three vans and trick the Organization into chasing one of the decoys while the van with Kir in it is driven by Camel back to hospital. Meanwhile, the Organization launches their counterattack. They cause three separate accidents nearby to flood the hospital with people and then give them gifts with small bombs hidden inside. Akai suspects they may be trying to kill Kir by detonating the bombs and collapsing the hospital. Akai and the FBI collect the bombs from the innocent patients, but are startled when the TV starts airing an announcement from Mizunashi Rena in the hospital. Akai and Conan realize the bombs have tracking devices embedded in them, but they aren't fast enough to stop the rest of the FBI agents from going to Kir's room.

With the location of Kir's room exposed, the FBI launch the three van plan without delay. Akai in his Chevrolet follows one of the vans from a distance and he is eventually found by Vermouth who had been assigned by the boss to look for him. Gin correctly deduces which van Kir is in and recaptures her all according to Conan and Akai's plan. The FBI are at first very dismayed they failed, but then Akai explains the plan to them and that they were left out of the loop in order to make the Organization believe they were not set up. Gin, however, is suspicious that Akai didn't interfere more strongly when they recaptured Kir and that Akai may have something else up his sleeve.

==== Death at Raiha Pass (Manga: [[Volume_58#Foreign_Suspect_Case|605-609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|501-504]]) ====
Gin is suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Akai didn't make a strong move. Gin thinks Akai is still hiding something and that doubt is relayed to [[anokata|the boss]] who plans a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. Akai is somewhat amused at the predicament, and Jodie plans to go to Andre Camel and bail him out. As Jodie leaves, Akai calls out to her and says he has a bad feeling about today, and that she should be careful. Jodie notes it is Friday the thirteenth.

The Black Organization takes advantage of the distraction provided by Andre Camel's murder case, and Gin meets with Kir and conveys [[anokata|the boss's]] ultimatum: Kir must kill Akai in order to regain the Organization's trust. Gin explains that Kir will call out Akai with the excuse that she wants to flee the country because the Organization is pressuring her after she was caught by the FBI. Akai will take the bait if Kir says she will give him good information. When she meets with him alone, Kir will kill Akai while wearing a camera and bug. Gin will be watching out of range of Akai's acute sense for traps. With Gin's gun at her back, Kir calls Akai.

At the murder case, Jodie meets up with Camel and their discussion turns to Camel's mistake which caused Akai to be rejected from the Organization two years ago. Camel explains that Akai had just been promoted, and the FBI planned to capture Gin who was set to meet with Akai. The FBI hid in the warehouse waiting for Gin, but instead an old man walked in and sat down. Akai ignored the old man, but Camel came out from hiding and told the old man to leave. The old man turned out to be a member of the Organization, and Gin never showed. This lead to a chain of events leading to Akai's girlfriend [[Miyano Akemi]]'s death almost two years later. Camel, who felt most responsible, felt obligated to take the role of driver for the plan to return Kir.

Meanwhile Akai, sitting in his truck, remembers some of the last moments he had with Akemi. Akai revealed to her that he was an FBI agent. She seemed to already know, prompting Akai to desperately ask her why she didn't get away from him. Akemi's simple tearful reply was, "Can't you tell without asking?" Akai is brought back to present by [[James Black]] telling him that his phone is ringing. Kir is on the other end, and relays Gin's concocted story and asks to meet Akai alone. James's impression is that the meeting with Rena is likely a trap and that Akai shouldn't go. Akai confidently says that he is sure his sixth sense will work and that he will trust Rena to have some way out of the situation. James starts to call Jodie as support but, the confidently grinning Akai stops James from dialing and asks for his trust. The meeting location is set at 19:00 at the seventh left curve of Raiha falls and Akai heads out.

[[Image:Kir_kills_Akai.jpg|thumb|right|200|Kir kills the 'Silver-bullet'.]]
Akai arrives at the meeting place where Kir is waiting from the other side after scouting out ahead. Kir shoots Akai in the lung as Gin and Vodka watch from across the gorge via Kir's collar camera. Blood trickling from his mouth, Akai turns and sees their Porsche and smirks to himself. Kir tells Gin he will die soon from the lung shot, but Gin orders that Kir makes his death certain by shooting Akai in the head. As Kir walks up to him, Akai seems to accept his impending doom with great calm.<ref>Manga Chapters 605-608: Foreign Suspect Case</ref> After some last words, Kir shoots Akai in the forehead. Blood cascading from both sides of his head, Akai collapses in the front seat of his truck. At that moment the police on the way to an accident begin to approach and Gin orders Kir to place a bomb and blow Akai's truck up with the body. Kir plants the bomb and leaves. It detonates just as the police pass by. The ensuing explosion and fire destroys most of the body but the right hand fingerprints survive.

Jodie and Camel leave the murder case as the police finish wrapping it up return the the hospital where the FBI meet. James announces that Kir set up a meeting alone with Akai and the a news program begins reporting on a truck that exploded with a body inside whose right hand fingerprints remain intact. Jodie wonders if it is Akai, and takes Conan's phone which Akai had touched earlier with his right hand to the police. The fingerprint results are a match, Jodie reports the news to James and then breaks down crying.

===== Faked Death? =====
{{main|Akai faked his death theory}}
Several abnormalities surrounding Akai's death invite the possibility that Akai faked his death with Conan and Mizunashi Rena's help. Inconsistent details like disappearing blood trails are evidence Akai's body was tampered with by someone other than Kir, and Conan's reaction to the news of Akai's death is suspiciously subdued. The theory is that Akai's death was faked by using blank cartridges and blood packets with small detonators to simulate gunshots. When Kir moves to the front of Akai's truck to prepare the bomb, it creates a gap of time where Gin and Vodka cannot see Akai's body with Kir's camera. At this time, Akai switches places with [[Rikumichi Kusuda]]'s body which had been dressed up beforehand to look like Akai. Akai escapes the truck before it explodes. Meanwhile Conan's will loan Jodie Starling one of his identical cellphones which has Rikumichi's fingerprints on it. She will think they are Akai's and when she goes to validate the identity of the body with the police, it will match Rikumichi's fingerprints and she will be fooled into thinking Akai died.

=== Current Events ===
=== Subaru Okiya ===
{{Main|Subaru Okiya}}[[File:Subaru Okiya.jpg|right]]
After Akai faked his death he developed a disguised persona with [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s help. As '''[[Subaru Okiya]]''' he sought to protect Haibara from the Black Organization and the new threat from Bourbon in accordance with the promise he made with Akemi. He also helped Conan with assorted cases, and kept an eye on his FBI comrades. For information about Akai's disguise and events that took place while he was disguised, please refer to the [[Subaru Okiya]] article.

[[Bourbon]], who believed Akai faked his death with Kir's help, got together with Vermouth and proposed a secret plan to find out if the real Akai was alive by appearing as a scarred Akai in front of his closest allies.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family & Friends ===
==== Akemi Miyano ====
Shuichi originally met [[Akemi Miyano]] by accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he was walking in the street. Akemi was concerned over this, and helped take him to the hospital, watching over him until he was better. When he woke up, he felt no anger over what she did, and even asked for her name, to which a very flustered Akemi told him her name, while he told her his fake name: Dai Moroboshi. After this, both of them discovered they were in the Black Organization, and began dating. However, for Akai, there was a catch involved. To the FBI, Akai's relationship was merely a stepping stone, something to use to take advantage of the Black Organization, and to get information. However, as [[James Black]] later recalls, Akai had begun to fall in love with Akemi, and consider her his real girlfriend.
[[Image:Akemi's Text Message.jpg|thumb|left|250px|The last text message Akemi had sent Shuichi Akai, before her death.]]

In Akemi's heart, she always felt that Akai (Dai), really wasn't who he seemed to be. Later, due to a massive error by [[Andre Camel]], Akai is discovered to be an FBI agent, leading to his exile from the Black Organization. When Akemi discovers this, she runs to him in tears, sad and angry, and afraid that Akai really had only used her to get information on the Black Organization. When Akai asks her why she never said anything about her suspicions before, Akemi basically hints it is because she loves him. After this, Akemi and Akai don't hear from each other for a long while, and Akemi's role in the Black Organization dwindles because they believe that she gave information about the Black Organization to Akai. After the successful bank heist, she is killed by the Black Organization. However, on the day of the heist, Akemi sent Akai a long text message, tell him that after the heist, when she is finally free from the Black Organization, if he wants to be her real boyfriend. Akai is never able to answer this, as she is killed by [[Gin]]. Akai treasures this text message, and it was even still in his phone, many months after Akemi's death. The message also contains a P.S. which is not revealed yet.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
While Jodie and Akai's relationship had been viewed as mere colleagues, it is revealed later on in the series that Jodie and Akai had dated before about 5 years prior. However, after Akai infiltrated the Black Organization under the alias of Dai Moroboshi, he started dating Akemi Miyano in hopes of using her to attain information about the Black Organization. Despite this, Akai ended up falling in love with Akemi, leading him to break up with Jodie, stating that, "To be able to love two women at the same time…it’s not that handy a personality." In spite of the break-up, Jodie still held strong feelings for Akai which never wavered as time passed and took his apparent death at Kir's hands especially hard, to the point of being reduced to tears.

==== Ai Haibara ====
When Haibara first met Akai, she thought he was a member of the Black Organization. Akai seems to know of Haibara's identity. Haibara knows him as Dai Moroboshi, her sister's boyfriend who betrayed the Organization.<ref>Manga Chapter 802</ref> It isn't clear whether Haibara knows he is an FBI agent, but she does not know him by the name Shuichi Akai.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
Akai and Conan are capable of thinking on par with one another. In the short time they have worked together, Akai has come to respect Conan's intellect and deductive skills. It may very well be the case that he might one day find out that Conan and [[Shinichi Kudo]] are really one and the same person. However, there is speculation amongst fans that Akai already knows Conan's secret, due to the fact that he figured out that Ai was formerly Sherry and (more than likely) learned about her research for the Black Organization and the two possible effects of [[APTX 4869]].

=== Black Organization ===

==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}
Shuichi Akai and Gin are rivals and hate one another. It is implied that they didn't get along even before Akai was exposed as an undercover FBI agent. Akai refers to Gin as "Koibito", which ironically means 'lover.' Gin killed Akai's love Akemi, so Akai thinks of Gin as his archenemy.

==== Bourbon ====
Shuichi Akai and [[Tooru Amuro|Bourbon]] are stated to be enemies. It's been stated that Bourbon hated Akai more than Gin did. Bourbon believed himself to be the only one capable of killing Akai, and refused to believe that Akai was dead. It is unknown how Akai feels about him, but the feeling is likely mutual, though not as extreme on Akai's side.

== Character popularity ==
*eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character.

*In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

== Name origin ==
Akai's name comes from the [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] character [[wikipedia:Char Aznable|Char Aznable]], whose nickname was the "'''Red (Akai)''' Comet", and Char's voice actor [[Shuichi Ikeda|'''Shuichi''' Ikeda]] (who is also Akai's voice actor). Additionally, his alias, Dai Moroboshi, comes from Char's real name, Casval Rem '''Deikun''' (sounds like '''Dai-kun''' in Japanese). '''Moroboshi''' can also mean ''falling star'', another possible allusion to ''Red Comet''.<ref>In Moroboshi (諸星), the first kanji can be broken up into 言者 which when pronounced as げんしゃ (gensho) sounds very similar to the word for "phenomenon" (genshou). The second character (星) means "star". Moroboshi, read as "Star phenomenon" references falling stars or maybe comets. </ref>

== Quotes ==
{{cquote|"The fear of death is worse than the death itself."}}

== Trivia ==
*Akai's voice actor, [[Shuichi Ikeda]], is the real-life husband of [[Akemi Miyano]]'s voice actress, [[Sakiko Tamagawa]].
*Akai is left-handed.

'''{{nihongo|Junya Tokitsu|時津潤哉|Tokitsu Junya}}''' is the High School Detective representing the North in the Detective Koushien that [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Heiji Hattori]], [[Saguru Hakuba]] and [[Natsuki Koshimizu]] attended.

== Background ==
Though he was born in Tokyo, he grew up in Hokkaido. He had handled approximately 300 cases, where more than 250 people were arrested and prosecuted while got away and committed suicide.

== Personality ==
Junya ha a great deal of pride as a detective. He demonstrates little empathy toward others, including the victims of cases.

== Plot overview ==
Junya was invited to participate in the Detective Koshien by a fake Nichiuri director. He immediately sees through the trick to the Koshien's 'first round', a locked-room puzzle.

After excusing himself to prepare his deductions for the first round case, he is later found dead in his room in the same locked room situation. Conan deduces that Natsuki Koshimizu killed Junya and used the same locked room trick that was used in the Lavender Murder Case.

Junya was the detective involved during that case who unfortunately made incorrect deductions that it was a murder case even though it was actually a suicide. He realized later that his conclusion was wrong, or at least questionable, but didn't admit the possible error to the police. As a result, Natsuki's friend, the housemaid, was suspected as the culprit and committed suicide from the stress. When Natsuki confronted him on it, Junya showed little to no remorse, which sent her over the edge and caused her to beat him to death with a hammer.

==Trivia==

* Tokitsu has rather odd speech patterns, referring to himself as ''shousei'' (小生). This is a rather archaic, self-deprecating form of "I" used by males with equals and subordinates; nowadays it's rare, but still used sometimes in letters and such. This is actually quite important to the plot, since Natsuki's friend noticed how unusual it was and told Natsuki that "a highschool detective with an odd accent" was the one who mistakenly got her accused for the Lavender Murder Case. Not knowing the name of said "high school detective", which wasn't released to the press due to being a minor, Natsuki gathered a group of sleuths fitting the description: Tokitsu, Hakuba (whose Japanese was odd-sounding due to living abroad), and Heiji (who has a strong Osaka accent).

}}
'''{{nihongo|James Black|ジェイムズ・ブラック|Jeimuzu Burakku}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a high ranking agent in the FBI.

== Background ==
According to James Black's own account, he was born in London, England, in the Marylebone district of Westchester City (the same district where the original [[wikipedia:Baker Street|Baker Street]] is located), before he moved to Chicago, growing up as a naturalized American citizen.<ref>Manga Chapter 325: Something the Lion Dropped</ref>

Black first met [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], the [[Detective Boys]], and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] when he was visiting Japan to attend an animal show. They saved him from a crowd of reporters who mistook him for a famous American actor, the patron of the show. In fact, he was shortly afterwards kidnapped because of this, and it was thanks to Conan and the Tokyo police that Black was safely rescued from a dangerous hostage situation.<ref>Manga Chapters 325-327: Kidnapped Tourist Case</ref> At this time, Black developed a deep respect for Conan's intellect, calling him "Cool Guy".

Conan didn't meet up with Black again until he encountered [[Jodie Starling]] again while trying to save a popular politician from an assassination attempt by the [[Black Organization]]. It was at this time that Black's allegiance with the FBI was revealed; Black is in fact the head of operations on the hunt for the Organization in Japan, and ever since this revelation, he and his colleagues have worked closely with Conan whenever their common cause would bring them together.<ref>Manga Chapter 502: A New Objective</ref>

== Personality ==
Stoic and collected, James Black often lets his underlings - chiefly [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] - take the initiative, knowing their capabilities, and for the same reason he listens to Conan's judgements as well. Black, like Starling, is deeply saddened when he learns of Akai's death, considering it a painful blow on not only the FBI, but on a personal level as well.

== Plot overview ==

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Colleagues ===
==== Jodie Starling ====
Jodie and James hold a close subordinate relationship and James is shown to trust Jodie's judgement deeply and recognizes her strengths and weaknesses. He is close enough to Jodie to understand her thoughts, mainly as shown when he cautions Camel not to speak too much about Akai in front of her, understanding that Akai had been more than a mere FBI colleague to Jodie. The two have been acquainted prior to the series at least 20 years ago following the death of Jodie's father. Due to his respect for his deceased friend and concern for the girl's safety, James consistently tried persuading Jodie to join the Witness Protection Program, though the latter constantly refused over and over until a point at time in which she made a deal with James to join the Witness Protection Program under the promise that she be guaranteed a position in the FBI when she grew older. Despite often taking over the role of giving out orders, Jodie holds deep loyalty to James, whom she has shown to somewhat view as a father figure.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
While their relationship is not shown as much as Jodie's, it is shown that James holds high regard in Akai's abilities and respects and trusts him deeply and vice versa. James has also noted Akai's habit of performing missions on his own and planning things without informing him or Jodie, but does not appear to bear a grudge because of it. He also appears to be knowledgeable of Akai's loner personality coming from Akemi's death, showing that he understands Akai quite well despite not having interacted with him much. James had shown to have taken Akai's death hard (though not to the same extent as Jodie), but is still able to maintain his composure despite the obvious tragedy.

==== Andre Camel ====
While their relationship is even less shown than Akai's, it is shown that James still trusted and respected Camel. The two were shown spending time as friends along with Jodie at a liquor store at one point, where Camel's less-than-sensitive personality causes Jodie to storm out of the store, with James later cautioning Camel to not mention Akai's name in front of Jodie, knowing that she had taken his death particularly hard, having viewed him as more than a mere FBI colleague.

=== Others ===

==== Conan Edogawa ====
James is one of the few adults that views Conan as an equal and the even fewer few that seemingly knows his true identity due to being part of the FBI. As such, James holds high regard in Conan's abilities and trusts him deeply. He also has the habit of calling Conan, "Cool-guy".

'''{{nihongo|Eisuke Hondou|本堂瑛祐|Hondō Eisuke}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Eisuke Hondo first appeared soon after one of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan's]] confrontations with the [[Black Organization]], in which it was revealed that popular newscaster [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]] was one of their members. He enlisted into Teitan High School and quickly made friends with [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Sonoko Suzuki]], who noticed the striking similarity to Mizunashi.

Some time later, Eisuke visited [[Kogoro Mouri|Ran's father]] in his office, where he also ran into Conan. After expressing a vivid interest in Mouri's work, he was invited by Ran to come by anytime, much to the displeasure of Conan, who had become suspicious of Eisuke. This suspicion was confirmed by the fact that in subsequent cases Eisuke made several blunders which would 'incidentally' contribute to the solution of the relevant case.

In time, Conan found out that Eisuke was indeed related to Rena Mizunashi. He had come to Tokyo looking for clues of his sister's whereabouts, sparked by him seeing her working as a newscaster by happenstance. He learned the truth from Conan, Hidemi and [[Shuichi Akai]] - that his sister, as well as [[Ethan Hondou|his late father]], were working for the CIA against the Black Organization. Following this revelation, he was offered a place in the Witness Protection Program, which he refused, though he decided to follow in his family's footsteps by joining the CIA one day. Alone with Conan, he also confessed that he had fallen in love with Ran and wished to take her with him to America. When Conan protested, Eisuke laughed out loud, stating that Conan's reaction was the final confirmation he had needed: that Conan was really [[Shinichi Kudo]], and that in fact he was responsible for the 'Sleeping Kogoro's' success. With this revelation, he asked Conan/Shinichi to take good care of Ran in his stead, thus promising to keep his secret.

[[Image:Eisuke hondou eating with his father.jpg|200px|thumb|Eisuke eating okonomiyaki with his father when he was a kid.]]

== Personality ==
Eisuke is a person with extremely bad luck. He's constantly bumping into or falling over something. However, his clumsiness belies a sharp intellect and keen talent for observation: With only few clues to work with, he was able to track down his vanished sister to the Haido Central Hospital, where the FBI was keeping her under guard, and even penetrate the facility to confront Rena Mizunashi - who really was his sister [[Hidemi Hondou|Hidemi]] - before he was discovered by Conan. He figured out that Shinichi and Conan were the same person before even meeting Conan and managed to force to the truth out of him later.

As a person, Eisuke is usually quite jovial and friendly, though very emotional at times; in stressful situations he often lets his feelings get the better of him.

== Plot overview ==
===Secret Path to School ===
Ran mentioned they had recent transfer student in their school who looks like Mizunashi Rena, that student was Hondou Eisuke. With that description, Mouri expected that Eisuke was a girl before actually meeting him.<ref>[[The Super Secret Road to School|Episode 427-428: The Super Secret Road to School]]</ref>

===The Two who Cannot Return ===
Ran's new classmate, Hondou Eisuke wanted to meet Kogoro Mouri so he visited his office. He said he wanted to meet Kogoro to borrow some of his luck, he considered Kogoro's way of solving cases while sleeping as when God comes to him. He started observing Kogoro and even questioned why Conan was beside Kogoro while solving the case.<ref>[[Two People Who Can't Return|Episode 429-430: Two People Who Can't Return]]</ref>

===Sealed Western Window ===
Eisuke and Conan are beginning to grow suspicious of each other. It is shown that Eisuke may be easily scared in his reactions to the tales of the demon. He is also able to make some impressive deductions in relation to the murder case, but eventually, his solution is incorrect.
=== Shadows of the Black Organization ===
Conan started getting more suspicious on Eisuke. He suspected that Eisuke is related to Rena Mizunashi as well as the Black Organization. He realized that Eisuke keeps on trying to put the subject on Rena Mizunashi by telling them hints about a missing TV personality lately, bringing them to the place wherein she got into an accident and taken custody by the FBI and other Rena-related things. He also noticed that they have the same technique in finding out if someone lied where Rena tested it on Conan before. <ref>[[The Shadow of the Black Organization|Episode 462-465: The Shadow of the Black Organization]]</ref>

===A Clue from the West===
===Blood Truth===
===A Mother's Memento===
===Clash of Red and Black===
While Ran, Sonoko and Conan visited a friend from Middle School in a hospital, they coincidentally met Eisuke who was looking for his sister who left 10 years ago. His sister looks exactly like Mizunashi Rena but Eisuke insisted that they are different people. To know if they are the same or not, they decided to visit a big fan of hers to confirm it. Koshi Anno, a big fan of Rena, told them that he thinks they're the same person and showed them a video wherein Rena has the same hairstyle as in the picture. But Eisuke insisted that they are different since the video proved that Rena's blood type is AB which can't be possible because when he was a kid, he remembered having blood transfusion from her sister and his blood type is O.

After the winter break, Conan learns from Ran lost contact of Eisuke. The last time that Eisuke talked to her was when he told her that he found a clue on his father's company in Haido Central Hospital, the same hospital wherein Rena was secretly confined. Conan decided to inform Jodie about his suspicions on Eisuke. Jodie told him that Eisuke's father was CIA spy and was killed by Rena four years ago. He later realized that Eisuke found a BO member and is currently in the hospital. The FBI decided to search the BO member hiding in the hospital. While searching in the hospital for clue on Eisuke and the BO, the nurse informed Conan that she remembered Eisuke had a surgery in Tokyo due to his Leukemia.

The night before they decided to move Rena, Eisuke visited Rena's room and forced her to wake up. When he tried to stab her with scissors, Rena stopped him and called him Ei-chan. Conan explained to Eisuke that Rena is his sister and they now have the same blood type, AB, after he had a bone marrow transplant when he was a kid due to Leukemia. Akai told him that her sister is a member of a certain "Organization". Eisuke was then pulled out of the room.<ref>[[Clash of Red and Black|Episode 491-504: Clash of Red and Black]]</ref>

===Suspicious Eisuke ===
Conan and Haibara meet Ran, Sonoko and Eisuke in a book store. Eisuke remarks that "he probably won't need" a study book the girls are buying, and that he "hates to be restricted by anything; even time." Eisuke visits a Karaoke box along with Ran, Sonoko and Conan. Conan and Haibara notice that a man is trailing the group, and Conan suggests that the man is likely an FBI agent keeping tabs on Eisuke, since he refused access to the Witness Protection Program.

In the karaoke box, Eisuke leaves to visit the bathroom. He takes a very long time to return, and does so with a terrified expression. The body of the man trailing the group is discovered in another room. Conan suspects Eisuke, since he is under the impression that the deceased was tracking him. However, it is soon revealed that the man was in fact a stalker with a fixation on Sonoko. (What had frightened Eisuke was when he mistakenly opened another customer's room, he saw what he mistook as two men kissing.) Ran is very glad that Eisuke is innocent, to the point where her eyes become tearful.

At the ending of the case, Eisuke walks home alone with Conan. He asks Conan to speak with Shinichi about his intentions to marry Ran and live with her in America. Conan angrily tells him that he can't, and reveals his identity as Kudou Shinichi to Eisuke. Eisuke laughs, and informs Conan that he had guessed it all along- showing all his deductions to Conan. He then tells Conan that he will move to America and join the CIA, following in his father and sister's footsteps.

==Plot exposition==
===Hints that Eisuke was the biological younger brother of Rena Mizunashi===
* They look alike. Both have unique matching eye designs.
* Rena Mizunashi mentioned having a little brother just after the Ding-Dong Dash case.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 9, pg 16: "Ding-Dong Dash"</ref> After hearing that the child's mother died, which mirrors her own family situation<ref>Deceased Mother's Memento</ref>, she became emotional to the point of crying. Conan noted a similar reaction of Eisuke's later<ref>Nail Snake and Hammer case</ref> likely meant he wasn't acting.
* Eisuke has a mark on his chest where a needle was inserted to monitor his leukemia.<ref>Deceased Mother's Memento</ref> A nurse later revealed that he has leukemia and was given a bone marrow transplant from his sister. Bone marrow transplants change the blood type of the receiver to that of the marrow donor, so Eisuke's blood type changed from type O to type AB. Later his sister was able to donate AB blood to him because of this.
* Hidemi and Eisuke both use the same classical lie detection technique - feeling for the pulse while watching the pupils - which is taught by some American law enforcement agencies.

===Hints that Eisuke was not a member of the Black Organization===

* He uses a classical lie detection technique - feeling for the pulse while watching the pupils - which is taught by American agencies. He learned it from his father who was a CIA agent.
* Conan discovered that Ethan Hondou, Eisuke Hondou's father, was a member of "The Company" - a nickname for the CIA. The Black Organization knew Ethan Hondou's real name and that he was a spy. Thus it would be unlikely for them to take Eisuke in because of his family history.
* Eisuke had strong suspicions that Conan was Shinichi evidenced in several questions he asks Kogoro about Conan's activities at crime scenes. Despite this, the Black Organization did not take action against Conan which implies Eisuke and the Organization are not in contact.

== Relationships analysis ==

== Name origin ==
Eisuke's name comes from '''Bondo''' (ボンド), the Japanese pronounciation of (James) '''Bond''', and mystery writer '''{{nihongo|[[wikipedia:ja:海渡英祐|Eisuke Kaito]]|海渡英祐|Kaito Eisuke}}'''. The pronounciation of “本堂瑛祐” becomes of “Hondou Eiyou” by on reading which means "real hero" in Japanese.

The night before they decided to move Rena, Eisuke visited Rena's room and forced her to wake up. When he tried to stab her with scissors, Rena stopped him and called him Ei-chan. Conan explained to Eisuke that Rena is his sister and they now have the same blood type, AB, after he had a bone marrow transplant when he was a kid due to Leukemia. Akai told him that her sister is a member of a certain "Organization". Eisuke was then pulled out of the room.<ref>[[Clash of Red and Black|Episode 491-504: Clash of Red and Black]]</ref>

===Suspicious Eisuke ===
Conan and Haibara meet Ran, Sonoko and Eisuke in a book store. Eisuke remarks that "he probably won't need" a study book the girls are buying, and that he "hates to be restricted by anything; even time." Eisuke visits a Karaoke box along with Ran, Sonoko and Conan. Conan and Haibara notice that a man is trailing the group, and Conan suggests that the man is likely an FBI agent keeping tabs on Eisuke, since he refused acces to the Witness Protection Program.

In the karaoke box, Eisuke leaves to visit the bathroom. He takes a very long time to return, and does so with a terrified expression. The body of the man trailing the group is discovered in another room. Conan suspects Eisuke, since he is under the impression that the deceased was tracking him. However, it is soon revealed that the man was infact a stalker with a fixation on Sonoko. (What had frightened Eisuke was when he mistakenly opened another customer's room, he saw what he mistook as two men kissing.) Ran is very glad that Eisuke is innocent, to the point where her eyes become tearful.

At the ending of the case, Eisuke walks home alone with Conan. He asks Conan to speak with Shinichi about his intentions to marry Ran and live with her in America. Conan angrily tells him that he can't, and reveals his identity as Kudou Shinichi to Eisuke. Eisuke laughs, and informs Conan that he had guessed it all along- showing all his deductions to Conan. He then tells Conan that he will move to America and join the CIA, following in his father and sister's footsteps.

==Plot exposition==
===Hints that Eisuke was the biological younger brother of Rena Mizunashi===
* They look alike. Both have unique matching eye designs.
* Rena Mizunashi mentioned having a little brother just after the Ding-Dong Dash case.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 9, pg 16: "Ding-Dong Dash"</ref> After hearing that the child's mother died, which mirrors her own family situation<ref>Deceased Mother's Memento</ref>, she became emotional to the point of crying. Conan noted a similar reaction of Eisuke's later<ref>Nail Snake and Hammer case</ref> likely meant he wasn't acting.
* Eisuke has a mark on his chest where a needle was inserted to monitor his leukemia.<ref>Deceased Mother's Memento</ref> A nurse later revealed that he has leukemia and was given a bone marrow transplant from his sister. Bone marrow transplants change the blood type of the receiver to that of the marrow donor, so Eisuke's blood type changed from type O to type AB. Later his sister was able to donate AB blood to him because of this.
* Hidemi and Eisuke both use the same classical lie detection technique - feeling for the pulse while watching the pupils - which is taught by some American law enforcement agencies.

===Hints that Eisuke was not a member of the Black Organization===

* He uses a classical lie detection technique - feeling for the pulse while watching the pupils - which is taught by American agencies. He learned it from his father who was a CIA agent.
* Conan discovered that Ethan Hondou, Eisuke Hondou's father, was a member of "The Company" - a nickname for the CIA. The Black Organization knew Ethan Hondou's real name and that he was a spy. Thus it would be unlikely for them to take Eisuke in because of his family history.
* Eisuke had strong suspicions that Conan was Shinichi evidenced in several questions he asks Kogoro about Conan's activities at crime scenes. Despite this, the Black Organization did not take action against Conan which implies Eisuke and the Organization are not in contact.

== Relationships analysis ==

== Name origin ==
Eisuke's name comes from '''Bondo''' (ボンド), the Japanese pronounciation of (James) '''Bond''', and mystery writer '''{{nihongo|[[wikipedia:ja:海渡英祐|Eisuke Kaito]]|海渡英祐|Kaito Eisuke}}'''. The pronounciation of “本堂瑛祐” becomes of “Hondou Eiyou” by on reading which means "real hero" in Japanese.

'''{{nihongo|Akako Koizumi|小泉紅子|Koizumi Akako}}''' is a character in the manga franchise ''[[Magic Kaito]]'', as well as the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Akako is a witch that practices black magic, including a spell which makes all men adore and love her, except for Kaito Kuroba, who she knows is Kaitou Kid (yet he constantly denies it). Hence, she wants to have Kaitou Kid fall for her naturally, but never succeeds in doing so. Even though she has slightly evil intentions, she does care for Kaito in a way that could possibly be more than just to make him fall for her, as she's often tried to help him in her own little ways. Akako claims to have the spirit of Lucifer, and if she cries, she will lose her powers.

== Personality ==
In ''Magic Kaito'', Akako is very vain and proud of her beauty. She likes to be center of attention and laughs in a unique way. "Ohohoho!" is common to hear when near Akako.

== Plot overview ==
Akako enrolls Ekoda High School, becoming a classmate of [[Kaito Kuroba]] and [[Aoko Nakamori]]. On Saint Valentine's Day, all the boys want chocolate from her, but Kaito: knowing that the only one in the world who can resist her is [[Kaitou Kid]], Akako realizes that her classmate is the phantom thief. She then uses a voodoo to attract Kid and win his heart using magic, but she fails and the thief runs away.

During a school trip to the mountains, after telling Aoko that she likes Kaito, Akako forces him to ski with her. She attaches a magic sticker on the boy's back, casting a spell by which (according to her) Kaito will fall in love with her, but she fails again and Kaito ends up skiing with Aoko.

Akako then decides that she has to kill Kaito: after his death, it will be true that all men love her. She gives a cursed necklace to [[Ginzo Nakamori]], but the inspector is unable to kill Kaitou Kid, who runs away. Akako waits for him on Touto Tower, but her feelings for Kaito prevents her from killing him.

When [[Saguru Hakuba]] suspects that Kaito is Kid, Akako disguises herself as Kaitou Kid to protect her friend's secret. Later on, she tries to use her magic to prevent the police and [[Shinichi Kudo]] from arresting Kid, but her butler stops her before using her powers publicly. Kaitou Kid still manages to escape.

== Name origin ==
The name "Akako" means "red child". This contrasts with [[Aoko Nakamori]]'s first name, which means "blue child".

== Trivia ==
*Akako's anime voice actress for appearance in ''Detective Conan'', [[Megumi Hayashibara]], also provides the voice for [[Ai Haibara]], and with the similarities between ''Magic Kaito'' and ''Detective Conan'' this serves to reinforce the love triangle theme revolving around the central character.

'''{{nihongo|Shizuka Hattori|服部静華|Hattori Shizuka}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise, ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Shizuka is Heiji's mother, a fact that shocks [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], due to her incredibly youthful appearance. Heiji is the only one who insults her looks, calling her "old lady." Nonetheless, Shizuka is very supportive of her son, rooting for him to solve cases, though she sometimes calls her husband, [[Heizo Hattori]], police chief of Osaka, to assist Heiji. She is skilled in kendo.

== Background ==
In her first appearance, she asked Kogoro to help find a man named Shiro Shibata so she could retrieve an old photograph; Conan realized that the Ikenami is lying to Kogoro when she introduces herself for unknown reasons. At first, Conan suspected her to be a member from the [[Black Organization]] despite her lies, and maybe her fake identity. At the end of case it is revealed that she is [[Heiji Hattori]]'s mother.

== Personality ==
Not much is known about this woman despite her rarely appearances. She is calm, elegant, and has incredible kendo skills.

{{nihongo|'''Tooru Amuro'''|安室透|Amuro Tōru}}, known by his codename {{nihongo|'''Bourbon'''|バーボン|Baabon}}, is a member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a recently dispatched operative who specializes in deduction and intelligence gathering. He hates [[Shuichi Akai]] for some unknown reason. Amuro poses as a private detective who first appeared as a waiter while helping a client with a case, and later becomes a waiter at Café Poirot and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s apprentice.

==Background==
Soon after [[Shuichi Akai]]'s death, [[Kir]] called [[Jodie Starling]] to report that a new member of the [[Black Organization]] called Bourbon had been dispatched. Kir said that Bourbon's target was the escaped scientist [[Shiho Miyano]] and that Bourbon has excellent information gathering skills and keen insight.<ref name=622p4>Manga Volume 60, File 3, Page 4: "Red, White and Yellow"</ref> Later Tooru Amuro appears as a free-lance private detective who also maintains employment on the side that may aid in investigation, like his part-time job as a waiter at Ristorante Sundayrino. After his introductory case, Amuro begins working part-time at [[Setting#Cafe Poirot|Café Poirot]]. He is currently [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s apprentice.

== Personality ==
Amuro has a cheerful personality. He is also generous, bringing a plate of sandwiches for the detective agency bought with his money. In more serious situations, he seems to be patient, keeping calm even while even while others are abusing him. Although somewhat of a "cool type", he does not hide his emotions and is quite expressive. Like other detectives in ''[[Detective Conan]]'', he enjoys presenting his deductions about cases to others. He is also manipulative, tricking others into performing certain actions so he can gather information. Kogoro calls him "effeminate".

[[Gin]] says Bourbon has a secretive personality like [[Vermouth]], and that no one can ever guess what he's up to or what he will do.<ref name=703p3/> [[Vodka]] says that Bourbon hates Shuichi Akai even more than Gin does, although a reason for this hatred is not given.<ref name=703p3/> Bourbon believes he is the only person capable of killing Akai.<ref name=703p3/> Gin said that if Bourbon found out Akai was alive, he would surely boast that his suspicion was correct.<ref name=703p3/> Gin and Bourbon probably don't get along and they don't seem to communicate with one another.<ref name=703p3/>

== Appearance ==
[[File:Low res Amuro colored.PNG|thumb|left|125px|Colored drawing by Gosho Aoyama]]
He has dark skin about [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]]'s color and has dyed hair. He wears glasses at first, but it is unknown if he actually needs them because he was using them to conceal his identity at the time and takes them off midway through the case and has not had them on since.

==Mission==
Originally Kir said that Bourbon's target was the escaped scientist [[Shiho Miyano]]. Another possibility is that Bourbon's mission was to investigate Akai's death to make sure there were no tricks. Bourbon doesn't believe Akai is dead, so it is possible that Bourbon is investigating to see if the real Akai is alive.<ref name=703p3>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref>

After hearing that Bourbon is on the move, [[Conan]] looks concerned, but doesn't tell [[Haibara]] about him.<ref name=622p6>Manga Volume 60, File 3, Page 6: "Red, White and Yellow"</ref>

=== Amuro's Introduction (Manga: 793-795) ===
[[File:Amuro abuse 793.PNG|thumb|right|220px|Amuro gets knocked over by a case suspect]]
Amuro is hired by to-be-bride Hatsune Kamon to investigate whether her to-be-husband, Raita Banba, is cheating on her. As part of the investigation, Amuro tells Kamon to have their pre-wedding celebration at the restaurant, Ristorante Sundayrino, where he works as a waiter. He purposefully drops some cake on Banba's pants trying to make Banba too embarrassed to approach women later. Banba complains about Amuro's "mistake", but Kamon tells Amuro it's alright to protect him. Banba later gets drunk, and Amuro has to point out his phone is ringing. Banba goes to the bathroom to meet the person who called him, the detective Sanji Haruka, who Banba hired to find out if Kamon was cheating on him. Sanji had been following the wife and discovered her meeting with Amuro, so Sanji mistakenly reports Kamon is having an affair with Amuro. Sanji confirms Amuro has a matching voice by asking Amuro to repeat his order, a bourbon on the rocks.

Banba is furious at Amuro and begins to harass him; like shouldering him and knocking Amuro over in front of the other waiters. Later Kamon dies in a car fire that is ruled an arson, and Banba accuses Amuro of starting it because he is Kamon's lover. Amuro denies this and says that Banba may have been trying to disguise wounds he received while fighting with Kamon by tripping Amuro. Amuro then takes off his glasses and reveals himself to be a private detective hired by Kamon, not her lover.

After Amuro correctly gives his deduction that Sanji was a detective hired by Banba, Kogoro accuses Amuro of driving Kamon to suicide by telling her about her husband's shameless flirting, but Amuro denies contacting Kamon by phone. Amuro accuses Banba of being the murderer, which antagonizes Banba into to rushing him. Amuro dodges and trips Banba and asks Kogoro to hold Banba's legs. From the condition of the bottom of Banba's shoes and Amuro's detailed background investigation of Banba and Kamon, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is able to deduce that Kamon's death was really a suicide. Amuro continues to accuse Banba after more DNA evidence comes in, but Conan prevents his arrest by using [[Kogoro#Detective_Skills|Sleeping Kogoro]] to ask Banba a critical question that reveals he never stepped outside. Amuro challenges Kogoro's deduction, suggesting that maybe Banba used a [[Shuichi Akai|knit cap]] and [[Scar Akai|long windbreaker]] to disguise himself, but Sleeping Kogoro counters by pointing out the condition of Banba's shoes. Defeated, Amuro demands Kogoro explain the matching DNA, which he does, revealing that Kamon and Banba are identical twins, but Kamon had a chromosomal abnormality that resulted in her being phenotypically female. Humbled, Amuro explains the abnormality condition to those present which [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] confirms.

One day later, Amuro has started work as a waiter at [[Setting#Cafe_Poirot|Café Poirot]] below [[Setting#The_Mouri_Detective_Agency|Mouri Detective Agency]]. He asks Kogoro if he can be Kogoro's apprentice and whispers some unheard amount of money per case that he is will pay if Kogoro brings Amuro along with him. The amount thrills Kogoro into accepting Amuro's offer immediately. Conan mentally moans about how yet another bothersome person has appeared.

=== Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: 796-800) ===
[[File:Amuro796.png|thumb|left|220px|Amuro and Conan find a corpse]]
While Kogoro and the gang are watching a news report on a recent bank robbery, Amuro stops by with sandwiches from the Poirot after finishing his part time job for the day. After commenting on the robbery, Amuro reveals that he wants the scoop on Kogoro's newest case request after deducing from Kogoro's appearance and habits that Kogoro had a case. Kogoro gets a text from the client requesting that Kogoro switch the meeting location to the [[Setting#Cafe_Columbo|Café Columbo]], and Amuro goes with them after changing out of his work clothes. At the Columbo, Kogoro explains to Amuro the request was to find the locker a key belongs to. The client fails to show, so Amuro, Kogoro, Conan, and Ran go back to the Detective Agency to make sure the client didn't actually turn up there instead. When Amuro arrives at the agency, he and Conan notice someone had broken in and appeared to have intercepted the client while they were out. Stepping outside, Amuro explains his deductions to the rest of the gang and that the culprit is hiding in the restroom. Before Amuro can open the bathroom door, a gunshot rings out, and Conan rushes in to find a dead man who apparently committed suicide with a gun and a taped-up crying woman. The woman's story is that the now-dead guy was interrogating her about the key and locker and committed suicide when Kogoro returned early, but Amuro and Conan suspect she is lying and may have murdered the man.

Amuro questions the woman a little, and Megure comments to Kogoro about he has yet another detective hanging around him. Curious, Amuro asks about [[Masumi Sera|the other detective]] and hears she is a young girl. Amuro offers to drive the formerly tied up woman to her home after questioning was postponed until the next day. Conan, Ran and Kogoro come along for the ride. At the woman's house, Conan, Amuro, and Kogoro announce they need to use the restroom and go inside. Ran turns on her cellphone and immediately gets a call from Sera, who was worried after seeing the news of the murder. The call is full of static, and Amuro suddenly shuts Ran's phone and announces the place is bugged, which is interfering with the cellphone signal. Amuro gets out a bug detector and begins sweeping the house. Ran, Amuro, and Kogoro find several bugs before coming across a large suitcase under a bed that is emitting a horrible smell. They opened the bugged suitcase and find a corpse inside.
[[File:Amuro800.png|thumb|right|220px|Amuro sees Sera]]

Soon afterwards, it was revealed that the culprit was indeed the woman, who sent Kogoro a message claiming that she was having Conan in her hands. During the investigation, they have found out a video recording summary, which contains many news about the robbery, inside the TV. Amuro then quickly gave out the speculation that the apartment might actually belonged to one of the robbers instead. Ran didn't understand how a detective of such level of intelligence could willingly become her father's apprentice. However, Amuro modestly answered that Kogoro was just testing him, and that he still had got much to learn.

Later, they decided to check up the house's computer, which was protected with password. Amuro discovered that the password was hidden under the desk, but instead of revealing the fact directly, he chose to hint Kogoro and Ran about it. After having gained access to the computer,
they have all found out the identity of the third robber and her location, where Conan's kidnapper would most likely pay a visit. They followed the address and drive to that place, Sera approached them closely from behind. However, while still on the road, they suddenly learned that the third robber had been overwhelming both Conan and the killer, and they were in serious danger. Right after determining the exact car that those three were in, Amuro purposely crashed his own car into theirs in order to stop it. In the end, the robber was defeated by Sera, Conan was safe. Amuro, Sera, Okiya (who was driving Agasa and Haibara to the scene) were all shown to receive a mysterious call. Vermouth called Bourbon and commented that he had gained some trust<ref>It wasn't specified whose trust</ref> and that she expected him to keep his (unstated) promise to her.

=== Off Work (Manga: 801) ===
Amuro has a day off of work. Incidentally, Scar Akai appears in front of Sera.

=== Overnight Deadline (Manga: 804-808) ===
[[File:AmuroGraveyard.jpg|thumb|left|300px|Amuro walks away from [[Wataru Date|Date's]] grave.]]
Conan and the [[Detective Boys]] encounter Amuro who was coming from the police station due to the "Online Client" case. He expresses disappointment at not being able to meet Professor Agasa with them. He also states that he had another purpose for coming to the station, but when asked by Conan what it is, Amuro claims that it "already disappeared."

Later, when Takagi is still trapped, he reminisces of a time with his mentor Wataru Date and says that he was the top student at the police academy. He rebuts this and says he was number 2 compared to that guy who was like a gentleman. Later it's revealed that that person is Amuro who leaves a toothpick by Date's grave and watches Takagi and Sato pay their respects. Amuro also calls Date "His friend."

===Cabin Trap (Manga: 815-817)===
While Conan and the Detective Boys go camping in Gunma, Ran and Kogoro are being served by Amuro at the Poirot. When Sera calls Ran to ask about Conan, Amuro watches on suspiciously. Later, Amuro furtively sneaks into the empty Mouri Detective Agency and logs onto Kogoro's website using the password Kogoro inadvertently told him in an earlier case. He sees a video sent by someone (Mitsuhiko) that shows [[Shiho Miyano]] rescuing [[Ayumi]] from a cabin fire. He is shocked by her, zooms in on her hand, and notices she is wearing a pass ring for the Bell Tree Express mystery train experience. Amuro then notices that Kogoro's computer was being hacked by someone and began wondering who did it. Amuro passes over information on the video to Vermouth who relayed in to Gin.

===Mystery Train (Manga: 818-824)===
[[File:AmuroBourbon.jpg|thumb|right|Amuro introduces himself as Bourbon.]]
Amuro appears on the train where he runs into Ran and the others. When asked what he is doing there, Amuro claims he won his tickets in an online auction and that he coincidentally met Kogoro in the dining cart wher he learned of the case. When Masumi Sera runs off to find Scar Akai (Vermouth), Amuro is seen with his phone out contacting Vermouth that she was heading her way. He then comes when Conan (through Kogoro) starts his deduction on the murder culprit and reveals that three mirror plates were stuffed in a painting which was used for the locked room murder trick.

However, after the culprit confesses, Vermouth activated smoke canisters throughout the train in order to lure Ai Haibara (who supposedly transformed back to Shiho Miyano) out. After that is successful, Amuro introduces himself to her by calling himself Bourbon. He goes on to ask Shiho if she knows who he is to which she claims that he was a rival to her sister's love Dai Moroboshi (Shuichi Akai). Amuro starts to gloat saying that he knew Akai was FBI and that he couldn't believe that he was killed. He then says he decided to disguise as Akai in front of those close to him, although he asked Vermouth to disguise as him on the train. From that, he could only conclude that Akai really died. Putting Shiho at gunpoint, he tells her to go into the eighth cart so he can detach it with C4 explosives and bring her back to the organization. However, Shiho reveals that there are more C4 explosives in the train, when Amuro realizes that Vermouth put them there and that she plans to have Sherry killed. However, before he can do anything else, the real Akai (whom Amuro mistook as Vermouth) comes behind him and throws a grenade to detach the eighth cart. Amuro dodges the explosive relatively unscathed and the eighth cart explodes, but Shiho (who was really Kaitou Kid in disguise) is able to escape. Amuro then regroups with Vermouth and asks her to give him the files on before and after Akai's death. He thinks to himself that he'll have to start from square one, while Okiya, who is revealed to be Shuichi Akai watches on silently.

== Hints that Tooru Amuro was Bourbon ==
* The character Tooru Amuro is named after, Amuro Ray, is the mortal enemy of the character [[Shuichi Akai]] is named after, Char Aznable.
* He is a detective and very skilled at information gathering.
* He is male as the codename Bourbon implies. The [[Black Organization]] codename pattern is that hard liquors are used for men's codenames, and [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] used a male specific pronoun to refer to Bourbon in the [[Volume_67#Department_Store_Bomber_Case|Department Store Bomber Case]].<ref name=703p3elab>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm" Kir uses the masculine only term "kare" (彼) to refer to Bourbon instead of a gender neutral term.</ref>
* He has a type of personality [[Gin]] would not like. Gin thinks Bourbon is irritating.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8, pages 13-14: "Silent Clash"</ref>
* When Amuro offers Kogoro an unknown "tuition" per case Kogoro brings him on, the amount he offers is enough to get Kogoro excited and accept Amuro as an apprentice without hesitation. This is strange because Amuro would not be expected to have much money because he is young, lacks a formal agency, and works part time at restaurants in one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in.
* Unlike other detectives so far, Amuro is a calculating type who chose avoidable courses of action (or non-action) that may have resulted in harm to others if things had gone slightly differently. In his introductory case, Amuro doesn't intervene when a suspect he knows to be innocent is half a step from destroying his exonerating evidence because it seems Amuro was testing Kogoro. Later, Amuro noticed that Conan was alone with a murderer and considered that Conan might have been kidnapped, yet said nothing about it until others realized Conan and the murder suspect were gone.
* The timing of Bourbon's report to [[Vermouth]] about [[Volume_77#Cabin_Trap|Shiho's appearance at Gunma]] suggested Amuro was Bourbon. The other two Bourbon suspects, [[Okiya]] and [[Sera]], both had seen Haibara and were suspicious of her long before Bourbon reported Shiho to Vermouth, but the video from Gunma was the first time Amuro had seen an image of Shiho or Haibara. Okiya had met Haibara in person in his [[Volume_60#Red.2C_White.2C_and_Yellow_Case|first appearance case]] and multiple times afterward. Sera had obtained a picture of Haibara via a reflection from Agasa's glasses in the [[Volume_74#Target_on_Tape|Ayumi kidnapping case]]. Both of them should have reported to Vermouth if they were Bourbon soon after their respective encounters.
*He completely cut off communication with his close friend [[Wataru Date]]. A complete cutoff would not be necessary if Amuro worked for a "good" organization like the FBI. It is more sensible that Amuro was trying to protect Date from any potential repercussions associated with joining the Black Organization which deeply mistrusts police officers.
* Amuro kept a bug detector with him - only Organization members have been shown to do this, while normal detectives like Conan do not.

* Also, through the process of elimination, it can be seen that Amuro is actually Bourbon out of the three suspects. Masumi Sera, Shuichi's sister, can be seen as to not be Bourbon, as she looks like Shuichi Akai, and seems to think he is dead, so it can be concluded that she was not Bourbon. Also, Subaru Okiya is not Bourbon, as Conan, who is normally a very careful person, invites him to stay as his Shinichi's home. If Subaru was someone that Conan did not know, it would be very unlikely that Conan would not let him near the Kudo's house and Haibara (Sherry).

=== Hints that Scar Akai was Bourbon/Amuro ===
[[File:Scar_Akai.jpg|right]]
:''For the former theory, please see [[Scar Akai is Bourbon Theory]]''<br />
While [[Scar Akai]] was played by Vermouth during the last appearance on the train, Bourbon had been Scar Akai during the three earlier appearances at [[Detective Boys vs. Robber Group|Teito Bank]], [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|Beika Department Store]], and outside [[Volume_76#Domestic_Violence|Mouri Detective Agency]].<ref>Manga File 824, pg 5: "Mystery Train: Final Destination"</ref> The evidence that Amuro being Scar Akai these times was:
* In Scar Akai's appearance at the Beika Dept. Store, Amuro was the only known Black Organization operative not seen at the same time time as Scar Akai. Gin began discussing Bourbon with Kir after seeing this Scar Akai. This also exclude that Vermouth from being Scar Akai at the time, which means there is more than one Scar Akai.
* Amuro was absent from his job at the Poirot when Scar Akai appeared outside the detective agency where Sera was walking with Ran. This also notable because this occurred right after Sera and Amuro met and Amuro found out Sera was friends with Ran.
* In Scar Akai's appearances at the Teito Bank case, the Beika Dept Store, and outside Mouri Detective Agency, he never spoke in front of anyone who would know Akai's real voice, suggesting that this Scar Akai could not imitate voices like Vermouth.
* Amuro is right-handed like Scar Akai.
* He has the right body size, face shape, and height to disguise as Scar Akai.
* He has an interest in the Mouri Detective Agency which makes sense because [[Scar_Akai_is_Bourbon_Theory#Bourbon.27s_investigation-_He_suspects_Kir_is_a_traitor.|Scar Akai saw fit to keep Kogoro's cellphone number with him]].
* Amuro's hypothetical disguise suggestion in 795, a knit cap and long windbreaker, are articles of clothing Shuichi Akai and Scar Akai wear respectively.

==Relationships analysis==
===Wataru Date===
[[File:Amuro deletes message.jpg|thumb|right|125px|Amuro deleting Date's message.]]
[[Wataru Date]] and Tooru Amuro were best friends in the police academy; Amuro was the top ranked student, while Date held second place. While Date went on to become an officer, Amuro went somewhere else and fell out of contact with Date for unknown reasons. Date's last text to Amuro asked him where he was and chided Amuro to communicate once in a while. Amuro was shown visiting Date's grave, and likely left a toothpick out of respect for Date; Date used them habitually.

===Shuichi Akai===
Bourbon despises [[Shuichi Akai]] for some unknown reason and believes he is the only one capable of killing him.<ref name=703p3/>

===Vermouth===
[[Vermouth]] and Bourbon seem to be closer to one another than, say, Bourbon and Gin. Bourbon specializes in intelligence gathering, so he likely belongs to the same [[Black_Organization#Organization_structure_and_divisions| reconnaissance division of the Black Organization]] as Vermouth. Bourbon made an unknown promise to Vermouth (possibly being to not harm Conan), and she later calls to ask him if he will be upholding it.

===Gin===
[[Gin]] hates Bourbon's personality and finds him annoying for being secretive and always doing what he pleases. At the same time, Gin respects Bourbon's detective abilities. The two do not seem to be in contact with one another, as Gin has no idea what Bourbon is doing.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Amurocar.PNG‎|thumb|right|150px|Amuro's RX-7]]
* Amuro is a right-handed person.
* During an 2010 interview with [[Shuichi Ikeda]], Gosho Aoyama said it would be interesting if a character from the [[Black Organization]] was named after [[wikipedia:Amuro Ray|Amuro Ray]] because [[Shuichi Akai]] was named after [[wikipedia:Char Aznable|Char Aznable]].<ref>http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__view__findpost__p__235287</ref><ref>http://www.kudonet.info/</ref><ref>http://wnsgur5941.blog.me/80143064942</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Subaru Okiya|沖矢昴|Okiya Subaru}}''' is said to be an engineering student who currently resides in [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house next to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. It was strongly hinted that he is the [[Black Organization]] member [[Bourbon]]; however, it has been revealed that the identity of [[Bourbon]] is, in fact, [[Tooru Amuro]]. <ref>Manga Chapter 823</ref> Another popular [[Okiya is Akai Theory|theory]] is that Okiya is [[Shuichi Akai]] disguised after [[Akai faked his death theory|faking his death]] with [[Hidemi Hondou]]'s help and this seems to be proven true when Okiya opens one of his eyes to reveal what looks like Akai's eye.

== Background ==
[[Image:Okiya_Keyhole.png‎ |thumb|left|125px|[[Gosho Aoyama]]'s colored drawing of Subaru Okiya in the keyhole for [[Volume 60]].]]
Subaru Okiya is a graduate student attending Tokyo University to earn a doctorate degree in engineering. He originally lived at a boarding house, where the landlord's son nicknamed him "Red Man," after a firetruck, because he frequently saw him watering the plants. After the boarding house burned down in the [[Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys|Red, White, and Yellow Arson Case]], [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] suggested he move into [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s house, explaining to Agasa and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] that someone living in the house would help to hide his (Shinichi's) disappearance. When Haibara protested, Conan cheerfully responded that someone who loves Sherlock Holmes cannot be a bad person - much to Haibara's consternation.<ref name=Neighbor>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 5: The New Neighbor</ref> Nevertheless, Conan decided to keep from Subaru which persons - specifically [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] - were closely connected to Shinichi.<ref>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 638 - Paper Airplane</ref>

Okiya is left-handed and greatly admires the deductive power of [[Sherlock Holmes]]. He is also an excellent detective as he was able to solve several mysteries including the paper airplane case<ref name=Paper_Airplane>Manga [[Volume 61]] File 8-10: Paper Airplane</ref>, the Ikkaku Rock case <ref name=Ikkaku_Rock>Manga [[Volume 64]] File 2-4: Ikkaku rock</ref>, and the 13 red shirts mystery.<ref name=Red_Shirts>Manga [[Volume 67]] File 5-8: 13 Red Shirts case</ref> He is also shown to be calm in crisis situations and quite skilled at hand to hand combat, capable of knocking a knife out of someone's hand <ref name=Speech></ref> and easily KOing a kidnapper without so much as ruffling his clothing.<ref name=252_Rescue>Manga file 755: "Communications Code"</ref> Okiya also knows how to enable the tracking function of Conan's glasses and that they track the detective boys' badges despite the fact Conan has never used the glasses in front of Okiya.<ref name=252_Rescue/>
{{clear}}

== Personality ==
Okiya is generally shown to be quiet and reserved, often seeming unfazed by normally stressful situations, such as when Ran attacked him while he was brushing his teeth, believing he had broken into Shinichi's house<ref>Manga [[Volume 61]] File 8: Paper Airplane</ref>, or when a murderer grabbed Ayumi as a hostage.<ref name=Speech>Manga [[Volume 64]] File 3: Thirst for Blood</ref> He often tends to behave in a friendly and modest manner, smiling and rubbing the back of his head whenever someone compliments him or says anything about him. He enjoys cooking and seems ready and willing to help with various tasks. He doesn't mind interacting with the [[Detective Boys]], is always polite to them, and listens to their theories during cases.

Okiya becomes more serious while working on cases and enjoys revealing the truth to others similar to Conan. Sometimes he speaks mysteriously, leaving the meaning and intentions of what he said open to interpretation. Okiya has a more menacing side seen whenever he takes to the offensive or is intently focusing on something. In this frame of mind, Okiya triggers Haibara's Black Organization sense.

==Attributes==
[[File:Haibara doesn't like Okiya.PNG|thumb|right|Haibara senses the Black Organization aura from Okiya.]]
===Intelligence===
Okiya is an intelligent character with observation and case solving abilities comparable to Conan's. On his first meeting with Sonoko and Ran, he correctly deduces they had been to the restaurant "Wonder Burger" and what they had to eat while they were there.<ref name="638p">Manga Chapter 638</ref> He tends to hold back to allow Conan or others to present their conclusions rather than take center stage himself.<ref>Red, White, and Yellow case, Ikkaku Rock, Red Shirts case.</ref>

===Black Organization aura===

Okiya emits what Haibara describes as the aura of the [[Black Organization]] when he is intently focused on another person<ref>Red, White, and Yellow case</ref> or is acting as an aggressor.<ref>Ikkaku Rock, 252 case</ref> Haibara only gets the feeling from him transiently.
[[File:Okiya knocks away a knife.PNG|thumb|left|Okiya knocks a knife out of a hostage taker's hands]]

===Hand to hand combat===
Okiya demonstrates he is skilled in hand to hand combat when he knocks away the knife a culprit had been using to hold Ayumi hostage with one hand and rescues her from the culprit's grasp in the same quick movement.<ref>Manga Chapter 666: Thirst For Blood</ref> He also easily KOs a kidnapper without so much as ruffling his clothing, although he later comes up with the excuse that he found the kidnapper passed out near the stairs, most likely from losing his footing.<ref name=252_Rescue>Manga file 755: "Communications Code"</ref>

Okiya is also shown to possess great physical resilience: Upon [[Deduction Showdown! Shinichi vs. Subaru Okiya|their first encounter]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], mistaking Okiya for a burglar, kicked him straight in the jaw, but unlike her many other victims, that blow failed to knock him out instantly.{{clear}}

== Plot overview ==
===Red, white, and yellow arson case (Manga: [[Volume 60#Red, White, and Yellow Case|622-624]], Anime: [[Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys|509]]-[[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|510]])===
[[Image:Okiya burnt apartment.jpg|thumb|right|Subaru Okiya standing in front of the remains of his burnt apartment talking with [[Inspector Yuminaga]].]]
After school, [[Conan]] receives a phone call from [[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] who tells him that the Black Organization has activated a new member codenamed [[Bourbon]]. Meanwhile, the [[Detective Boys]] receive a request from their classmate, Kaito Suigiura, to investigate the actions of a strange man at his father's apartment building which is close to [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house<ref>Based on the Japanese address system, the houses are very close. Okiya's previous apartment was at Beika city district 2 #23A. Agasa's address is Beika city district 2 #22. Shinichi's house address is Beika city district 2 21B. Basically, Okiya's apartment is going to be across in the adjacent block of houses across a little street. The Okiya's apt isn't marked on [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/images/8/8d/Conandrillmap.jpg the map of Beika city], but it should be on the same chunk of buildings that Shinichi's and Agasa's house are (i.e. not separated by a major road as that would change the city district number i.e Mouri agency is city district 5).</ref> The next day the Detective Boys find that the apartment has been burned down. Subaru Okiya first appeared as one of the suspects in this arson case. When [[Inspector Yuminaga]] introduces the detective boys to the suspects, Okiya gives [[Ai Haibara]] the chills which she only gets from those who have been in the Black Organization, although she isn't sure who is responsible at the time and the feeling of pressure unexpectedly disappears.

The revelation that Kaito Suigiura's diary describes a suspicious "yellow" tenant who had argued with the landlord the night the apartment was burnt down leads to the police to question the three suspects about their alibis at the time of the arson as well as their favorite color. Subaru Okiya's alibi was that he was driving alone that night long the verdant Teimuzu river to clear his head after submitting a paper to his professor. Although he likes the greenery of plants, Okiya declared that his favorite is black, "because it covers things inside me that I don't want known", although he hates the color for the same reason.

Conan and Subaru Okiya seem to hit it off when Okiya recognizes Conan quote a line from Sir AC Doyle's "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches". After Conan solves the case, Okiya asks to meet Professor Agasa. After introducing himself, Okiya asks Professor Agasa if he could stay for at his house until he finds another place to live, offering to help Agasa with his research in the spare time. Agasa consents, as long as Haibara also agrees, but Haibara strongly refuses. Conan chimes in offering Shinichi's house, saying that Shinichi has gone missing all of a sudden and Conan will tell Shinichi later that Okiya moved in. Conan overrules Haibara's concerns that the Org may find out through Okiya that Shinichi is still alive by simply saying, "A Holmes fan can't be a bad person!" Conan gives Okiya the key along with the request to take care of the place while he (Shinichi) is gone and Okiya agrees.

===Sports Car Arson Case (Manga: [[Volume 61#Sports Car Arson Case|635-637]], Anime: [[The Blue Spark of Hate|524-525]])===
Conan and Agasa are quick to view Okiya as a resource, seen in the Rolls Royce explosion case where Agasa suggests calling Okiya to bring gasoline when his beetle runs out in a remote location, and later in the same case where Conan secretly asks for his help to set up a trap to trick the culprit into confessing. Okiya secretly watches Conan's plan to trick the culprit into confessing in action.

===Paper airplane case (Manga: [[Volume 61#Paper Airplane Case|638-640]], Anime: [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|510]]-[[Deduction Showdown! Shinichi vs. Subaru Okiya|511]])===
[[Image:Episode 510-Okiya-Ran.jpg‎|thumb|right|[[Ran Mouri]] greets Subaru Okiya with a kick to the face after mistaking him for a robber.]]

Ran and Sonoko visit Shinichi's house to clean up unaware that Okiya is living there, and they confront him thinking he is a thief. Okiya fails to explain fast enough and winds up on the receiving end of Ran's karate kick. Conan calls Ran to explain that Okiya has been living in the house after the fire and warns her not to talk about Shinichi in front of him. After the two girls apologize, Okiya correctly deduces they had been to "Welcome Burger" earlier. Okiya makes a strong impression on Sonoko, while Ran thinks "he looks like someone" and she had met him before.

[[Image:Paper airplane okiya.jpg‎|thumb|left|Subaru Okiya figuring out the paper airplane message.]]
Sonoko then concocts a deduction battle between Okiya and Shinichi to see who can solve the mystery of the paper airplane first. Shinichi and Subaru prove to be equally skilled although neither know they are competing against one another. During the detective showdown, Okiya overhears Sonoko talking about Shinichi's deductions and asks this Shinichi is also the landlord of the house. Ran, thinking of Conan's warning not to talk about Shinichi to Okiya, interrupts Sonoko to say they are consulting one "Kinichi" and that the landlord Shinichi has no special deduction ability. Okiya easily sees through the lie and reveals he had looked around the house but found no personally identifying items. Sonoko and Ran leave to find another paper airplane and Okiya is left to ponder over the landlord.

The deduction battle continues with Okiya and Conan matching each others' deductions perfectly. With the case solved, Okiya suggests that he will leave calling the police up to Ran and Sonoko because they have police acquaintances, revealing he knows something of the backgrounds of the girls and their connections. When the pair leaves, Okiya celebrates the successful resolution of the case with a Sherlock Holmes story and a glass of bourbon.

===Ikkaku rock (Manga: [[Volume 64#Ikkaku Rock Case|664-666]], Anime: [[Ikkaku Rock's Disappearing Fish|542-543]])===
[[Image:Okiya rescues Haibara.jpg‎|thumb|right|Subaru Okiya stops [[Ai Haibara]] from slipping off a dock.]]
Okiya's next appearance occurs when he comes at the request of Professor Agasa to pick up the detective boys who had gone fishing. Haibara is again suspicious of him, but Conan brushes her feeling aside. Okiya stops Haibara from slipping and offers to cook the Detective boy's fish. When the Detective Boys stop at an island called Ikkaku Rock, Okiya Subaru takes a group photo. The gang stumble into onto a dead woman who appeared to have gotten lost and died on accident, but Okiya and Conan quickly recognize that she was deliberately abandoned to die. When Inspector [[Jugo Yokomizo]] tried to prevent the Detective Boys from questioning the suspects, Okiya stepped in, pointing out that sometimes a child's perspective can be the hint that unlocks the truth and, "Weren't there a number of cases that were solved as a result of some hint from these children?" revealing he knows about the Detective Boys' many prior successes.<ref name=665p13>Manga Volume 64, File 2, pg 13: "Mackerel, Carp, Sea Bream, Flounder"</ref> Indeed, with such a hint from Mitsuhiko and Haibara, Conan and Okiya simultaneously realize who the culprit is. After they took turns explaining the case, the culprit pulled out a knife and grabbed [[Ayumi Yoshida]] as a hostage. Conan didn't have any gadgets to help him. At that moment, Haibara felt a menacing aura from Okiya, and he slowly approached the criminal, saying he couldn't escape and even if he did, could he bear the pressure and loneliness of hiding in fear of someone uncovering his identity? The provoked criminal removed the knife from Ayumi's neck and lunged at Okiya. In one effortless movement, Okiya knocked the criminal's knife away and took Ayumi from his grasp. Despite his rescue, the malicious pressure Okiya emitted and his words left a strong impression on Haibara who is certain he is one of the Black Organization members.

===A Dangerous Couple (Manga: [[Volume 65#Dangerous Couple Case|680]], Anime: [[A Dangerous Party of Two|557]])===
Later, Haibara, who had gone with Professor Agasa on a trip because she did not want to be alone while Okiya was around, demanded that Conan find some excuse to kick Okiya out of Shinichi's house. She explained to Conan that she thinks Conan is keeping him around and using her as bait in order to spy on him. Conan replies that he thinks Okiya is a good man and as for using Haibara as bait, "I-Idiot, you think I would do that!?"<ref name=680p5>Manga Volume 65, File 6, pg 5: "A Dangerous Couple"</ref>

=== Haunted Warehouse (Manga: [[Volume_66#Haunted_Warehouse_Case|691]], Anime: [[Battle of the Haunted Warehouse's Treasure|572]])===
Conan calls Agasa and finds out he invited Subaru Okiya over to cook because Haibara was out. Agasa says Okiya is a pretty good cook.

===Thirteen Red Shirts Case (Manga: [[Volume 67#Department Store Bomber Case|700-704]], Anime: [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|578]]-[[The Red Shaking Target|581]])===
[[Image:Okiya Jodie.jpg|thumb|right|Subaru Okiya knocks [[Jodie Starling]] over to prevent her from catching up with [[Scar Akai]].]]
[[Jodie Starling]] visits the [[Setting#Beika Department Store|Beika Department Store]], the origin of [[Scar Akai]]'s cap, to look for clues about him. Okiya follows her there. Subaru Okiya, along with Scar Akai and Conan, is then trapped on one of the department store floors by a bomber demanding to find the sender of thirteen red shirts. Meanwhile the [[Black Organization]] has heard that someone who looks like Akai appeared at the department store. [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] park outside the department store with the snipers [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to wait for scar Akai.

Back on the bombed floor, Subaru Okiya takes an interest in the red shirts case. He solves the flag semaphore message and deduces it has to do with an incident in the mountains. Okiya then sees Scar Akai in the crowd and ducks away before scar Akai could spot him. Okiya goes to the windows out front and spies [[Gin]]'s Porsche and [[Chianti]] who has set up in a hotel across the street.

Conan tranquilizes [[Kogoro Mouri]] to begin his deduction show just as Kogoro receives an anonymous text message containing a mostly complete solution to the case from Scar Akai. After the case is over, [[Andre Camel]] reveals to Jodie the Black Organization are waiting outside with a sniper. Jodie rushes after scar Akai to stop him from being killed, but is prevented from reaching him by Okiya who knocks her over.

To prevent Scar Akai from being shot, Conan stirs the crowd up by lying that the store is giving out 10,000 yen gift cards. Okiya confronts Conan, who is surprised to see him, and introduces himself to Kogoro Mouri. He reveals that he was trapped on the bombed floor and tells Conan he was in the area because he visited the [[Scar Akai#Teito Bank Heist|Teito bank]] and followed Conan when he saw Conan enter the Beika Dept store. He leaves Conan with the mysterious quote:

{{cquote|Remember how there was a robbery at that bank? There was someone I knew in the footage from that robbery, so I was trying to find out if they use that bank. If that person uses it, they must live nearby. I was hoping to run into them.... Well, coincidentally they were also on this floor, but it turned out to be a look-alike, so I didn't say anything. I know that person from a long time ago, so there is no way I would mistake them with a look-alike.|File 704 pg 16|Subaru Okiya}}

===Communications Code (Manga: [[Volume 72|755]]), (Anime: [[Emergency Situation 252|623]])===
[[Image:Glasses File755 014.jpg|thumb|right|Subaru Okiya with [[Conan]]'s [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracking glasses]].]]
Okiya comes to rescue Conan and the detective boys who had been trapped by kidnappers in a building. Okiya thought they had encountered trouble when he noticed that no lights came on at Agasa's house after dark, and when he went over to inspect, the front door was unlocked, nobody was there, and two suspicious phone calls arrived. Okiya uses a spare pair of Conan's tracking glasses in order to find the detective boys, proving he knows about the function of Conan's tracking glasses and that they lock onto the detective badges.<ref name=755p14>Chapter 755 page 14: Communications Code</ref> Conan has never used the tracking glasses in front of Okiya before. Okiya KO's one of the kidnappers, but tells the detective boys that the robber fell down the stairs. When Haibara questions why he had been paying so much attention to Agasa's house, Okiya tells her he wanted to give them some extra curry he had made for lunch.

===Ayumi Kidnapping Case (Manga: [[Volume 74|775-776]])===
[[Masumi Sera]] stops [[Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko]] outside of Agasa's house to ask them if they are acquaintances of Professor Agasa's. The topic of [[Shinichi]] comes up when she talks to the two detective boys about the [[Masumi_Sera#Kogoro_Detective_Agency_Hostage_Crisis_.28Manga_771-774.29|prior hostage case]]. Sera asks who is living in the Kudo house now because she saw the curtains shift slightly. The detective boys tell her that Subaru Okiya has been staying there since his apartment burnt down.
[[Image:Okiya776.png|thumb|left|Subaru hearing Conan's conversation.]]
Sera cryptically comments with a smirk on her face, "And here I thought that someone had just settled in without permission...But it seems I was just getting worked up over nothing..." while looking up at where Okiya Subaru is hiding and secretly observing the conversation.

Later, after Genta ruins Agasa's curry, Okiya secretly follows the detective boys on an errand to buy new ingredients. He tails the detective boys rather closely; Haibara, who is wearing a hat, seems determined not to acknowledge his presence. He stops and looks over his shoulder to watch a car that parked on a side street. The car pulls out of sight and Okiya turns away and continues on, but soon enough car reverses back into its former position. Okiya is later seen in the grocery store, and he worriedly watches Conan and Haibara dash out of the grocery store after hearing that Sera saw Haibara's reflection in Agasa's glasses in an online video. Okiya follows the detective boys back and listens into Conan's conversation at Agasa's via an earpiece while watching on the professor's house from one of the Kudo household's upper story windows.

===Murder at Mouri Detective Agency (Manga: 798-800)===
[[Image:Okiya_frightens_Haibara.jpg‎‎|thumb|right|215px|Okiya frightens Haibara as he determines to stop the culprit.]]
Okiya appears at Haibara and Agasa's house and goes with them in [[Vehicles#Subaru 360|his car]] to save Conan who had been kidnapped. During the chase, Okiya uses the phrase "Don't make that kind of face", to reassure Haibara that he will definitely catch up to Conan. When he pulls up behind the suspect's car, he leans out the driver's side and puts his hand in his jacket, likely to pull out a handgun to shoot out the suspect's tires. Okiya aborts this plan when [[Tooru Amuro]] pulls up alongside him and they look at one another. Amuro and [[Sera]] successfully stop the kidnapper and Okiya drives away without delaying at the scene.

===Don't make that kind of face (Manga: 802)===
In chapter 802, Haibara hears the same "Don't make that kind of face" phrase from Conan, causing her to remember both the statement that Okiya made in chapter 800, and Akai making the same statement while under the Dai Moroboshi persona about protecting her sister. After this Haibara begins referring to Okiya using his given name "Subaru".

===Ski trip delay (Manga: 809-811)===
Haibara and Conan are late for a ski trip with professor Agasa and the detective boys because Haibara forgot something at Agasa's house. Unable to rouse the drunk sleeping Kogoro into getting a rental car, Haibara suggests calling Okiya for a ride. Conan is surprised at Haibara's change of heart regarding Okiya. On the way to the ski site, Okiya suggests he might join in because he feels he has been getting out of shape. Haibara directly questions Okiya about why he needs to stay in shape. Okiya comments, "Well, in a way... I ''do'' want to look good for the ladies." A murder case happens, interrupting the trip. After Conan runs off to question the suspects with Takagi, Subaru examines the body and gives his thoughts. Haibara suggests that he is rather knowledgeable about murders. Okiya gently corrects her, saying his interest is derived from his love of Holmes, and that he likes solving puzzles.

[[Image:Okiya_stops_Ai.jpg‎‎|thumb|left|250px|Okiya prevents Haibara from uncovering his neck.]]
While the case suspects are being questioned by the Police, Haibara is waiting outside together with Okiya in front of the Police Headquarters. She mentions that this is "the first time" that she's alone with him. Okiya suggests that they should move to the parking lot and wait inside the car. However, Haibara doesn't seem to like the idea, and sarcastically answers that he can force her to come along with him if that's what he wants. Okiya doesn't do so, because of an unknown promise he made with ''"her"''.

The sky has turned dark. Okiya takes a nap inside his car. Haibara decides to take advantage of this moment and secretly tries to remove his scarf. However, Okiya has waken up and stops her from doing so. He explained: "Beyond here is my area... and not your territory... Adults get cold... They're not outdoor creatures, after all..."

===Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case (Manga: 812-814)===
[[Image:Okiya_finds_out_secret.jpg‎‎‎|thumb|right|Okiya finds out that Conan is Shinichi.]]
Ran, Sonoko, and Sera go to Shinichi's house to find pictures of a ten year old crime scene similar to a case they just stumbled upon earlier. Sera enters the bathroom looking for Conan and encounters Subaru brushing his teeth with his neck uncovered. Sera becomes suspicious of him. She also wonders if he has invited a woman over when she finds a woman's hair tie. While the three girls are trying to solve the case, they decide to call Shinichi, and Conan is obligated to go to the bathroom and take the call. Subaru notices this and realizes he is going to play the Shinichi Kudo role. Rather than disturbing him, Subaru sends a message to Shinichi via Ran, telling him the name "Kumogakure Saizou", a clue to solve the case. After revealing the truth, Conan runs out from the bathroom, but he does not realize that Subaru had been watching him. Subaru points out Conan left his bowtie on his cellphone and then teases him by pretending to address Conan as Shinichi Kudo before suddenly switching topics.

===Cabin Trap (Manga: 815-817)===
When Amuro sneaks into the Mouri Detective Agency to illicitly view the material Kogoro's clients have sent him, which includes a video of [[Shiho Miyano]] sent by [[Mitsuhiko]], Amuro notices someone hacking Kogoro's computer. After Amuro notices this, there is a cut to Shinichi Kudo's house showing Okiya sitting by three monitors with a glass of bourbon and an ashtray full of cigarettes.

===Bell Tree Express Mystery (Manga: 818-824)===
[[File:Okiya is Akai 824.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Subaru Okiya is revealed to be Shuichi Akai as he leaves the train.]]
It is revealed that Vermouth and Bourbon are on the train, and that they have located Sherry and notified Gin and Vodka about this. Subaru is seen in a room with a woman who looks like Vermouth, but the top part of her face is hidden by her hat. Haibara receives a text message from Vermouth asking, "Are you ready?" Haibara locks herself in her bathroom and prepares to take the drug, presumably to turn herself into Sherry to protect her alternate identity. However, before she can consume the drug, Subaru enters, states "Just as expected of sisters, I can read all your moves." He is holding up a cell phone as he speaks, "Now, can I have you step this way...into our area?" However Haibara quickly runs past him, trying to escape. Later, Subaru is shown setting an unconscious Sera on the sofa of the train, smiling as she unconsciously mutters the words "Shuu-nii". At the end of chapter 824, Subaru is seen putting on his glasses and smiling. His eyes are open and his eyes are identical to Shuichi Akai's.

==Relationships analysis==
Subaru has met [[Conan]], [[Haibara]], [[Mitsuhiko]], [[Ayumi]], [[Genta]], [[Inspector Yuminaga]], [[Professor Agasa]], [[Ran]], [[Sonoko]],<ref>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 638 - Paper Airplane</ref> [[Jugo Yokomizo]], [[Kogoro]], [[Jodie Starling]], [[Scar Akai]]<ref>Manga [[Volume 67]] File 700-704: Department Store Bomber Case</ref>, [[Wataru Takagi]] and [[Masumi Sera]]. Another person is [[Tooru Amuro]]

===Conan Edogawa===
[[Conan]] trusts Okiya for the most part, and they maintain an amicable relationship. Conan easily lends Okiya the keys to his house.<ref name=Neighbor>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 5: The New Neighbor</ref> Conan also trusts Okiya to help in cases that put him in close contact with both [[Ai Haibara]] and him, like switching out the gasoline in a container for water to solve a case,<ref name=Crackle>Manga Volume 61 File 7: Crackle</ref> or calling him to pick up everyone when [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]’s car broke down.<ref name=Burn>Manga Volume 61 File 5: Burn</ref> Okiya respects Conan and his intelligence and they both can solve cases at about the same level. Conan tells Haibara he is trustworthy because he is a fellow [[Sherlock Holmes]] fan, much to her annoyance. Subaru is one of the few [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|characters who knows Conan is Shinichi]] after confirming [[Conan vs. Double Code Mystery|his earlier suspicions]] by [[Volume_77#Cold_Case|listening to Conan]] make a phone call as Shinichi.

===Hiroshi Agasa===
Okiya and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] maintain a good relationship with one another. The professor often asks him for favors, like picking the detective boys up from a fishing trip. Agasa also lets Okiya come over and cook from time to time and he will make Agasa food to return the favor, like stir-fried onions and curry. Agasa also seems well informed about when Okiya has free time and is available for favors or when he is on the road.

===Ai Haibara===
[[Ai Haibara]] doesn't trust Okiya because he gives her the chills which she only gets from those who have been in the Black Organization. She hides from him behind Conan when they meet in person and avoids being alone in Agasa's house when he is around. On his part, Okiya is kind to Haibara and seems to look out for her.

Haibara's opinion changes, however, in File 800 after Okiya consoles her when Conan is being abducted by a culprit in a crime. It is revealed afterwards that this is because what he said was similar to what Shuichi Akai had once told her when he was Akemi Miyano's lover (Haibara's sister). Because of this, Haibara gains trust in Okiya and starts calling him by his name.<ref> Chapters 800-803:When Objects Collide </ref>

===Tooru Amuro===
They have not directly met, though they have seen each other. In the Conan Edogawa kidnapping case, Amuro's car passes by as Subaru leans out the door to shoot at the car Conan's in, prompting him to close the door. Okiya also observed Amuro and Vermouth from a distance at the end of the Bell Train Mystery arc with a smirk. Based on what has been said about Akai and Amuro's relation, it's likely he sees Amuro as an enemy, though not to the extent that Amuro views him.

==Hints that Okiya was Akai ==
:''For the former theory, please see [[Okiya is Akai Theory]]''
[[Image:Okiya_Akai_Face_Compare.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Okiya and Akai have similar faces]]
*Okiya and Akai have similar appearance and habits. 
*Okiya and Akai are both left handed.<ref>'''Examples of Akai's left handedness'''<br>
*Akai prepares to attack one of the bus jackers with his left hand. (289)
* Akai's handgun in is his left waist-high pocket meaning it must be drawn with his left hand. (354)
* Akai's handling of the rifle indicates a left handed preference. He holds it with a left handed style grip, puts the rifle over his left shoulder while keeping his finger on the trigger, and pumps the rifle in a flashy way using only his left hand. (434)
* Akai uses his left eye to look through the scope with his left index finger on the trigger and his right hand stabilizing which is the same way Gin, who is known to be left-handed, is holding his rifle. (504)
* Akai uses his left hand to pull back a curtain. (599)
* Akai uses his left hand to pull out can of coffee, open it one handed, and pick the can up when he drops it. (600)
* In episode 552, a photo of Akai is used for the "next Conan hint" which is left-handed.

'''Examples of Okiya's left handedness'''<br>
* Okiya is brushing his teeth with his left hand. (638)
* Okiya rips a paper out of his notebook and writes on it with his left hand. (639)
* Okiya pushes up his glasses with left hand. (640)
* Okiya is holding his glass of bourbon with his left hand. (640)
* Okiya knocks away a knife using his left hand. (666)
* Okiya is using his left hand to hold the spatula while stir-frying onions. (691)
* Okiya is holding Conan's glasses in his left hand. (755)</ref>
*Conan, who knew Okiya was Akai and was therefore an ally, uncharacteristically broke with his normal untrusting tendencies by allowing Okiya to be close to Haibara despite multiple warnings from her. Not only did Conan continue to brush off her warnings, he came up with excuses as to why he trusted Okiya. One such excuse, "A Holmes fan can't be a bad person!" was an obvious lie as there was an entire murder case where all the suspects were Holmes fans<ref name=Holmes_case>Manga Volume 12 Files 7-10, Volume 13 File 1: Holmes Freak Murder Case</ref> and the Black Organization has used Sherlock references before.<ref name=The_Bullet>Manga Volume 24 File 10 Page 11: "The Bullet from the Past". The password for the APTX data in "Reunion With the Black Corps"M was “Sherringford” – one of the names Sir Arthur C. Doyle considered for his protagonist before choosing “Sherlock Holmes,” a likely indication that someone in the Black Organization is a fan of the detective.</ref>
*In the "Red, White and Yellow" case,<ref name=622p8>Manga Volume 60 File 3 Page 8: Red, White and Yellow</ref> Conan recognized the address Okiya was staying at despite never having met Okiya before.
*Okiya was often shown drinking bourbon, which Camel had earlier stated was Akai's favorite alcoholic drink.<ref name=The_Fated>Manga Volume 65 File 3 Pages 3-4: The Fated Individual</ref>
*Ran felt like she has seen Okiya from somewhere.<ref name=Ran_Recognize>Manga Volume 61 File 8 Page 13: Paper Airplane</ref> Ran has met Akai three times that she can remember: once in New York City,<ref name=NY_Case>Manga Volume 35 File 4 Page 2: Title Golden Apple</ref> in a restaurant,<ref name=Sato>Manga Volume 33 File 1 Page 14: Sato's Engagement Bet</ref> and another time after the "Dark Footprint" arc.<ref name=White_Snow>Manga Volume 37 File 8 Page 1: White Snow, Black Shadow</ref> Akai had frightened and deliberately intimidated her in their first meeting<ref name=NY_Case/>, so she felt uncomfortable and decided she shouldn't talk about Shinichi with Okiya.
*Haibara began suspecting Okiya to be Dai Moroboshi. During a car chase, Okiya said the line "Don't make that kind of face"<ref name="800pg11">Volume 76, File 5, page 11, Chap 800: "Online Client"</ref> which caused Haibara to remember that Dai Moroboshi said something similar to that in the past.<ref name="802pg10">Volume 76, File 7, page 10, Chap 802: "Don't make that kind of face..."</ref> Okiya triggering Haibara's Black Organization sense also fit with this as Dai had been in the Black Organization.
*Okiya and Akai sometimes use similar expressions. Okiya at one point admonishes Haibara "not to make that kind of face."<ref name="800pg11">Volume 76, File 5, page 11, Chap 800: "Online Client"</ref> Akai has used that line twice before, once to Conan in Clash of Red and Black<ref name="602pg15">Volume 58, File 5, page 15, Chap 602: "Clash of Red and Black"</ref> and once as Moroboshi Dai in Haibara's past.<ref name="802pg10">Volume 76, File 7, page 10, Chap 802: "Don't make that kind of face..."</ref> Both Akai and Okiya refer to the Black Organization members as wolves.<ref name="599pg6">Volume 58, File 2, Page 6, Chap 599</ref><ref name="704pg16">Volume 67, File 8, page 16, Chap 704</ref>
*When Okiya runs into Jodie at the department store and knocks her down, he tells her, "The division of fault is 50/50. You also bear some of the blame for neglecting to pay attention to your surroundings." As this occurred during Jodie's chase for [[Scar Akai]] whom she thought was the real Akai, one can surmise that Okiya's intention may have been to hint that he was Akai she was looking for.
*Aboard the mystery train ride, when Vermouth met Yukiko,Vermouth said that she left sleeping Sera in the next room, but then, Yukiko said that Sera was in a safe place, that they have a special guest in their team, and then appears Subaru's retrieving unconscious Masumi Sera.
*Aboard the mystery train ride, Yukiko and Okiya retrieved unconscious Masumi Sera. When Okiya and Sera were alone, the unconscious Sera whispered 'Shuu-nii' (-nii being the [[Wikipedia:Japanese_honorific#Familial_honorifics|Japanese honorific]] for older brother) and Okiya had smiled at this, implying that he is her brother, Shuichi Akai.
*"Subaru Okiya", "Dai Moroboshi", and "Shuichi Akai" are all references to Mobile Suit Gundam character Char Aznable. The “Akai” (meaning red) part of Akai’s name refers to Mobile Suit Gundam character Char Aznable’s nickname “Red comet.” “Shuichi” is a reference to the voice actor of Char Aznable, Ikeda Shuichi (who incidentally became Akai’s voice actor too). Dai Moroboshi, the alias Akai used while he was undercover in the Black Organization, comes from part of Char's real name, Casval Rem Deikun, with "Dei" pronounced as "Dai" (ダイ) in Japanese. In Moroboshi (諸星), the first kanji can be broken up into 言者 which when pronounced as げんしゃ (gensho) sounds very similar to the word for "phenomenon" (genshou). The second character (星) means "star". Moroboshi, read as "Star phenomenon" references falling stars or maybe comets. “Subaru Okiya” is a pun on Char Aznable’s real name which is キャスバル “Kyasubaru” (romanized as 'Casval').<ref name=Char_Aznable>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Char_Aznable</ref>

=== Hints that Okiya was not Bourbon or another character===
*Okiya knew about Conan's tracking glasses and the detective badges.<ref name=X>Chapter 755 page 14: Communications Code</ref> Conan has never used the tracking glasses in front of Okiya before. Bourbon or a third party would not be privy to Conan's gadgets. The mechanism to operate Conan's glasses isn't obvious, so only someone who knows about their existence beforehand could recognize the glasses at Agasa's and figure out how to activate the tracking function. Shuichi Akai could have heard about the glasses in several ways. The first source is when [[James Black]] was kidnapped while he had [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]'s detective badge. Conan used the badge to track down James Black. James was waiting to meet with Akai before he was kidnapped and drove away with Akai after he was rescued. Akai could have also heard about the tracking function from Jodie when Conan chased after Kir to prevent an assassination. Finally, Akai may also know about them from when Haibara borrowed the glasses to find Conan at the shipping yards at the climax of the Vermouth arc. He was present at the time and would have seen Haibara wearing them even though she has never worn glasses when Akai had seen her previously.

== Name origin ==
Okiya's name comes from Ca'''sval''' (sounds like Kya'''subaru''' in Japanese) Rem Deikun, the real name of [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] character [[wikipedia:Char Aznable|Char Aznable]], whom [[Shuichi Akai]] is also named after.

Magic Kaito Organization

2012-07-11T13:47:29Z

MagicConan14: /* Arguments against */

==Members==
* '''[[Snake]]''' is a codenamed member of the Magic Kaito Organization. He killed [[Toichi Kuroba]] and is currently searching for [[Pandora]].
* '''[[Rose]]''' a woman who worked with Snake to steal the crystal mother. She aspires to become known as the number one sniper.
* '''[[Spider]]''' is a stage magician operating under the name of Gunter Von Goldberg II, he is considered "The Best Illusionist in the World". He is an anime only character, the boss of the Magic Kaito Organization ordered the sub-boss to contact him after [[Kaitou Kid]] ruined the Blue Birthday heist.
* '''[[Magic Kaito boss|The boss]]''' is highest ranking member of the Magic Kaito Organization so far. He was mentioned to exist in the manga, and has appeared in shadow in the anime. His partial anime email address is "exmxxx@nex[cut off]".
* The unnamed '''[[Magic Kaito sub-boss|sub-boss]]''' is Snake's superior and reports directly to the boss. He was initially outmatched by Kaitou Kid after inadvertently revealing the goal of the Magic Kaito Organization within earshot. His anime email address is "spmashine@pwasoft.com"

==Structure and Rank==
The Magic Kaito Organization has been shown to have at least four distinct ranks. The highest is the unmentioned boss, referred to with deference by lower level members as "that person". A sub-boss who reports directly to "that person" is next down in seniority. Sub-bosses can order around code-named agents. Codenamed agents like Snake report directly to a sub-boss and so far are only told partial information about the goal of the Magic Kaito Organization. Codenamed agents in turn manage a small squad of low level agents who wear near identical beige trenchcoats and matching fedoras.

{{clear}}

==Goal==
[[File:Pandora.png|thumb|left|150px|The Pandora gem]]
So far the the only known goal of the Magic Kaito Organization is to find [[Pandora Gem|Pandora]], the gem which grants eternal life to the one who drinks its tears when Volley comet passes over. It is unknown what the Magic Kaito Organization intends to do with Pandora, or whether finding Pandora is their only goal rather than one facet of a larger plan.
{{clearleft}}

==Modus operandi==
[[File:Posh hideout.PNG|thumb|right|A posh traditional Japanese estate serving as a hideout.]]
The Magic Kaito Organization steals "big jewels" they think might be Pandora and return them to the sub-boss to be checked against the light of the moon. For some missions, the group acts in large numbers with a codenamed agent like Snake leading a group of many minor operatives. Other times codenamed agents work together without backup, as Snake and Rose were shown to do. Except for the sub-boss, all codenamed agents and their lackeys are shown to be armed at all times. So far, they do not seem to be concerned with silencers.

The Magic Kaito Organization is clearly very rich, shown by them using an expansive traditional Japanese home with escape tunnel as a hideout.
{{clearleft}}

== Target Jewels ==
So far the Magic Kaito Organization has only targeted jewels of superlative size, typically the most massive in a particular category. Presumably they figure that the gem must be exceptionally large in order to hide the doublet Pandora within it.

The organization's theft method was to have one member pose as Kaitou Kid (complete with functional hang glider) to draw away stationed police while Snake took the jewel at gunpoint backstage. Snake opened fire when the real Kaitou Kid interfered with the robbery.

==Plot Timeline==
===History===
Eight years before the current timeline, famous magician [[Toichi Kuroba]], the current [[Kaitou Kid]], was murdered by Snake a the orders of the Organization in a fake magic accident. Toichi was killed because he targeted the same gem as the Magic Kaito Organization.<ref>Magic Kaito episode 5</ref>

===Current events===
==== The Fated Blue Birthday ====
{{Main|The Fated Blue Birthday}}
[[File:Subboss with blue birthday.png|thumb|right|Snake's boss holding Blue Birthday with the police transmitter.]]

Both [[Kaito Kuroba]] and the Magic Kaito Organization decide to target the Blue Birthday sapphire. Snake waits for Kaitou Kid on a roof and confronts the thief who he believes to be [[Toichi Kuroba]]. Snake reveals himself to be the one who killed Toichi Kuroba eight years before the events of Magic Kaito, making the death look like a stage accident.

Snake shoots Kid and takes possession of what he thinks is the Blue Birthday, but Kid survived thanks to putting the real Blue Birthday gem in his breast pocket. Snake goes to an old-fashioned mansion on the edge of the city, where a mysterious balding man with a mustache praises Snake's work, saying "This jewel could be the one ''he'' is searching for." The man then went on to explain what the Pandora Gem is: a jewel hidden within a larger jewel that can be identified because it glows red under the moonlight and will, at the time of a comet, "cry tears of immortality". Kid reveals himself to the two men, and vows to find Pandora before they do and "smash it to bits."<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |chapter=Chapter 6 |language=Japanese}} ("Blue Birthday")</ref>

==== Green Dream ====
Kid notes that suspicious men in gray coats are now present at all Kaitou Kid heists.

==== The Crystal Mother ====
{{Main|Conan, Kid, and the Crystal Mother}}
==== Red Tear ====
Kaitou Kid continues to look for the Pandora gem, this time pursuing the blue ruby known as the "Red Tear," owned by a family of British magicians known as the Hoppers. Kaito suspects that Snake believes the gem has a good chance of being the Pandora Gem. However, since Kaito's father Toichi was trained by James Hopper, grandfather of the current magician Jody Hopper, Kaito knew that the gem was actually a sort of photo album which, when illuminated, projected images of the Hopper family onto the walls.

When Snake arrived to steal the Red Tear, he had one of his men dress as the Kaitou Kid while he himself went backstage and non-fatally shot many in the magician troupe in an attempt to get Jody to turn the gem over to him. He was about to shoot Jody but Kaito saved her life, then led Snake on a chase which ended in the latter falling out a window. Snake landed safely on an adjacent roof and presumably fled.

==Relation to the Black Organization from Detective Conan==
It is unknown if the [[Magic Kaito]]'s unnamed organization and Detective Conan's [[Black Organization]] are the same organization, partners, or entirely unrelated to one another. Theories for or against their connection have been presented by fans.

===Arguments for===
*They are both mysterious well structured organizations.
*Their boss's are referred to as "that person" (Ano kata).
*They both are potentially interested in obtaining immortality. The Magic Kaito Organization is looking for Pandora for the purposes of immortality. One of the [[Black_Organization#Goal|most common theories]] is that Black Organization is working on [[APTX 4869]] in order to achieve immortality.

===Arguments against===
*The member of the Magic Kaito organization that claimed responsibility for killing [[Toichi]] eight years ago is referred to as "[[Snake]]"<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Magic Kaito |volume=3 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1994-10-15 |isbn=4-09-122093-5 |chapter=Blue Birthday |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo |page=140 }}</ref>, a nickname that doesn't fit in with the codenames of the Black Organization, suggesting they are two separate groups. This though may not be the case if Snake refers to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_wine Snake Wine], but because [[Kaitou Kid]]'s origins have yet to be reexplained within the Detective Conan story, this is only speculation. Additionally a new member introduced in the anime by the name of Spider once again doesn't fit with the Black Organization's alcohol codenames.
*The Magic Kaito Organization uses much less subtle methods than the Black Organization. Snake confronts his targets openly while making no effort to hide face or eliminate those who saw him afterwards. He does not bother to silence his gun either.
*In the anime, the members of the Magic Kaito Organization are not shown to wear black outfits, as the Black Organization tends to do.

Mouri decides that to figure out where to go tomorrow, they will have deduction contest on a case that Mouri just received. Kazuha then say it's unfair because Heiji is a great detective, so Mouri said that he will support Kazuha in the case. (Heiji already saw that Kogoro want to see showgirls at the theater.)

==== Part 1 ====
Waking up with a fever, Conan reluctantly stays in bed while Haibara and the Detective Boys begin to play Karuta Cards. Mitsuhiko video calls to check why Conan is not with them. Suddenly, the door bell and repetitive knocks are at the front of Ayumi's apartment. A strange boy with slanted eyes, widow's peak, and glasses stands panting and begging for help. "Naturally," his "parents" come and pick him up from the door step and tell the detective boys it was only a prank and not to worry about it. Still video chatting, Conan explains that it was not a prank and that they should call Takagi. Conan hangs up and rest in bed. The Detective Boys are debating whether to listen to Conan or not because of his cold. In the end, Haibara and the Detective Boys walk around the building and ask the neighbors about the Urafune family. But all it leads up to going to the condo itself.

To come up with an excuse, Haibara says that they want to play with Masao, and push their way in to the apartment. Genta needs to use the restroom but it seems to be occupied, so Masao's "mom" tells him that he can use the back one. Slowly the Karuta game progresses, and so does the atmosphere in the room.

==== Part 2 ====
By the time Masao picks his card, Genta just so happens to want the same one, nevertheless Masao is completely reluctant to give '''his''' card away. While the Detective Boys find that strange, Haibara takes notes on his behavior of their new companion. And as the game continues, the "Mother" reads the cards aloud reluctantly. With the cards gathered and in place Masao says, "Mommy, restroom!" She replies, "It cant be helped. I'll go with you." Leaving his final clue, Masao says, "Bring my towel! I can't go without it!" You know, the towel (ta o ru) with a horsehair crab (Ke ga ni) from Lake Suwa (su wa ko).

<spoiler>
After a while of thinking, Haibara figures it out, and announces that Conan was right. She realized that Masao had been only going for certain Karuta cards in order to spell out a message. Another clue was that he had asked his "mom" to take him to the bathroom, he said nonsensical phrase. Little do they know that there is a cell phone that is listing to their every word that the "mom" left behind. Masao's fake parents congratulate the kids for figuring most of it out, then brutally tell them that they stop there. At that moment, the post office man rings and tells them they need to bring up a package, the adults agree and tell the kids to hush. When the door opens, they hear a struggle and a fall. Masao's fake dad walks over to the door and is hit with a soccer ball. Takagi, takes orders from Conan, who had deduced the circumstances of the whole situation. Including the tax evasion status. Conan knew right away that the couple with Masao were not his biological parents because Masao had a widows peak, a triangular piece of hair in the middle of the forehead while the two did not which is not genetically possible. He found it suspicious that the couple had been acting like his biological parents when they were not.

The two kidnappers, were trying to destroy evidence pertaining to tax evasion. The sender of that registered mail was the previous resident of Masao's apartment. The one named Uemura, who was a former employee of the Isobe Corporation, now is under suspicion of tax evasion. The contents of the registered mail were probably whistleblower documents, or account books with evidence of tax evasion. The documents were sent not too long ago to the producer at Nichiuri TV, Hida. The employee planned to move and go into hiding. But Hida ended up in a coma due to a car accident, and couldn't receive the registered mail as he was hospitalized. Since the post office holds on to the mail for more or less ten days, the kidnappers calculated the time of its return and plotted to pose as Uemura who had lived here before in order to snatch away the registered mail. Uemura is either confined somewhere else, or has been murdered. They also made it look like the accident with the TV producer. In the end, Conan saves the day and ends the case with everyone else catching his cold.

==== Part 1 ====
Kogoro, Ran, and Conan are walking when they witness a car attempting to kill a girl and her chauffeur.

After saving the two, they learn that the girl, Kaede Nakakita, is an adopted child of a wealthy man named Ouzaburo Katayose. Katayose invites the three to his estate to express his gratitude towards them. As Conan explores the estate with Nakakita, he finds evidence that someone wants to kill her and deduces the culprit is either Katayose's son, Ogito Katayose, or his daughter, Nobue Katayose whom are after the inheritance. Later, Katayose is found dead after consuming poison in his tea.

The chauffeur Eiko Suzuka, then reveals Katayose's will detailing the location of his red leaf treasure.

Nobue is found dead with a poisoned arrow in her back while holding a clean arrow in her hand.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
It turns out that Ouzaburo Katayose had committed suicide. His will was then opened, but the will was a cipher. Ogito Katayose figured out the cipher and left the house. Nobue Katayose saw him leave and realized he must have figured out the code. She hatched a plot so that he could not claim the inheritance. She took one of the bolts to Ogito's crossbow, made a cut on her sleeve with it, threw his crossbow into Kaede's treehouse, and screamed in the middle of the forest with the intention of framing Ogito for attacking her. Before Conan arrived however, Ogito had stabbed her with a poison tipped arrow in the back. Eiko Suzaka saw this happen, and followed him to the electric fence. Ogito had turned off the electricity and started climbing to the poles with the mirror attached to them (the inheritance is in there). Eiko turned the electricity backed on, which electrocuted him, and made him fall to his death. She did this because she thought Ogito had murdered Ouzaburo. The inheritance was a ruby for Eiko, and for Kaede to have all of his money, for Ouzaburo once loved Kaede's grandmother.

==== Part 1 ====
[[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] has recently posted a video on a popular website relating to cats, asking for someone to evaluate an old vase he found in his attic, along with an equally old carpet. On the particular day the case occurs, Agasa has invited the [[Detective Boys]] to a curry supper. Returning from a shopping trip, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] encounter [[Masumi Sera|Sera]], who asks them a couple of detail questions about Agasa, [[Ai Haibara]] and the recent hostage case at the Mouri Detective Agency. But unbeknownest to them, Agasa's house is being eyed by a duo of [["The Criminal"|sinister-minded individuals]].

When Mitsuhiko and Genta return to the house, they learn to their frustration that the curry dish is not finished yet. Disgruntled, Genta begins kicking around a soccer ball, but an all-too-unlucky shots makes the ball ricochet right into the curry pot, thoroughly drenching [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]]. After some well-deserved admonishment, Ai takes the boys out to buy new ingredients, while Ayumi takes a shower and re-dresses. But as the others return from their shopping, they find to their shock that Professor Agasa has been knocked out and that Ayumi and the carpet have gone missing!

<spoiler>
The culprits are the '''couple'''. They were really at the professor's house for the carpet, which is a valuable Persian original. The alleged search for the cat and Ayumi's kidnapping were actually a ruse to hide the fact that it was really the carpet they were after; they chanced upon it by watching the professor's video site, in which the carpet was visible in the background. The photo from the cat was simply taken from [[Eri Kisaki]]'s video of her pet cat Goro.

The evidence pointing to this solution is the fact that the carpet in which the Detective Boys found Ayumi was not stained by the spilled coffee that had soaked her clothes when the thieves overpowered her. Also, the couple was the only interest group who had also inspected the carpet along with the vase, while the others either had paid attention to the vase alone (the two women) or considered Agasa's ignorance of the true value of vase and carpet ridiculous (the father and son pair).

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
The accident is actually murder. The culprit is '''Mayuko Sakura'''. It is revealed that Tsujimoto was a highly selfish, devious individual who just used Sakura to gain fame and prestige as a chocolate maker. He had no intention of marrying her, as the public presumed, but instead intended to drop her once the shop was opened.

The fire was caused by a practically applied principle which makes air batteries create electricity: a chemical reaction between aluminum foil placed at the bottom of the swan piece's silver bowl, with a layer of steel wool above it, and salt water in the teapot. The fire was triggered when the self-samely created electricity flowed through the steel wool, igniting it and, consequently, the fruit liquor. The original intention was to have fresh water meet and dissolve a piece of dry ice to create a mist effect.

In addition, Sakura had prepared some additional means of making the fire spread rapidly: pistachio shells placed underneath the liquor bottles on the shelf to make them topple over more easily, and a paper bowl with spirytus, a highly concentrated vodka brand. The latter was hidden beneath the table on which the demonstration of the chocolate swan was to take place, and the volatile fumes from the alcohol were kept in check by the tablecloth until it was lifted by Sakura, releasing the vapors and thereby making the fire go wild.

The crucial evidence which revealed Sakura as the culprit is a picture Sonoko took of Tsujimoto just before the serving of the dish.
