== Story summary ==
{{main|Characters}}
[[File:Conan Edogawa Profile.jpg|thumb|125px|Conan Edogawa]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] is a high school detective who sometimes works with police to solve cases. During an investigation, he is ambushed and incapacitated by a member of a crime syndicate known as the [[Black Organization]]. In an attempt to murder the young detective, they force-feed him a dangerous experimental drug. However, instead of killing him, it shrinks his body to the size of an elementary school child. Adopting the pseudonym [[Conan Edogawa]] and keeping his true identity a secret, Kudo lives with his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] and her father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], who is a private detective. Throughout the series, he tags along on Kogoro's cases. Nonetheless, after Kudo solves one, he uses [[Agasa Hiroshi|Dr. Agasa]]'s hidden tranquilizer to sedate Kogoro and then uses a voice changer to simulate his voice to reveal the solution. He also enrolls in [[Teitan Elementary School]], where he makes friends with a group of classmates who form their own [[Detective Boys]] group. While he continues to dig deeper into the Black Organization, he frequently interacts with other characters, including his neighbor, Dr. Agasa; Ran's friend [[Sonoko Suzuki]]; a fellow teenage detective, [[Heiji Hattori]]; assorted police detectives from different regions; and a phantom thief called [[Kaito Kid]].

Kudo later encounters an elementary school transfer student, [[Ai Haibara]], who reveals herself to be a former member of the Black Organization under the code name Sherry and the creator of the experimental drug that shrunk him. She too ingested it to evade the pursuit of the organization. She soon joins the Junior Detectives. During a rare encounter with the Black Organization, Conan helps the FBI plant a CIA agent, [[Kir]], inside the Black Organization as a spy.

=== Internal rules ===
The world of Detective Conan has a set of [[Recurring Tropes|internal rules]] that might catch unfamiliar readers of the [[Manga|manga]] and spectators of the [[Anime|anime]] off guard, such as the [[Lack of Information Sharing|lack of information sharing]] and the regular [[Illogical and Irrational Behavior|illogical and irrational behavior]] exhibited by many characters. The universe is mostly consistent within its rules, with [[Oversights in Detective Conan|a few exceptions]]. The passing of time is difficult to judge, due to a literary device known as a floating timeline, which enables the compression of 20+ years worth of events and technological upgrades into less than one year.

== Media ==
===Manga===
{{main|Manga}}
[[File:Volume 1.jpg|180px|thumb|right|The first manga volume cover]]

{{main|Case Closed}}

== Critical reception ==
=== Japan and other countries ===
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 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, the series has since been re-broadcasting in many countries after the original premieres.

=== United States ===
Although popular in many other countries, Case Closed was not as successful in the US. Many of its factors are most likely poor advertising, character name changes and script changes around Japanese characters and their culture. Despite their intention to make the series more accessible to general audience, the changes to more Westernized character names was very criticized. Due to this, [[FUNimation|Funimation Entertainment]]'s dubbed version of "Case Closed" was cancelled at only 123 episodes and 6 movies. Despite the fan requests to continue dubbing the anime, it didn't do well enough for FUNimation Entertainment to continue the dub until they lost the license rights of "Case Closed" in 2018.

Bang Zoom! Entertainment and Studio Nano dubs was better received, as the original Japanese names would be intact and in higher-quality. However, Macias Group dub was criticized for its low-quality dubbing, audio problems and only covering episodes 960-1010 rather than starting from the beginning or continuing where FUNimation left off.

Despite its failed ways to localize in the US, the series still had a cult-following over the years and it has grown to have a considerable fandom since. The manga would still released by VIZ Media, despite its low sales[citation needed].

== Appearances in other media ==

Besides his anime and manga appearances, Conan is the protagonist for all the movies and the video games based on the Case Closed series. Several anime and games have parodied, lampooned or otherwise mentioned him or the series. Some of them include: [[wikipedia:Yakitate!! Japan|Yakitate!!

Mario-WL: /* Special offer */ new section

== A request for some collaborative discussion (elsewhere) ==
Hey Avico! Thanks for writing me. I have not had the time to take a look at the interview and the related info but it does seem pertinent enough to be included somewhere on the Wiki. The "somewhere" is what I'm still not sure of, but it could be included directly in Gosho's biography and the "Detective Conan" page in a "history" segment or something along those lines. I'm currently overseas for business so I won't be much active these months and I'll be reaching out to the other admins to get a Discord server created for DCW users. Don't hesitate to contact other admins on their talk page, as there really is no general talk section that everyone would be able to see, less they're following "recent changes". No definite answer as for the Discord server yet, but please feel free to add the info where you feel more suitable and we'll lend you a hand if we see something atrociously OOP. Cheerios! --[[User:Nakamura|'''Nakamura''']] [[User talk:Nakamura|'''talk''']] 04:07, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

== Some trivial remarks ==

Long time no talk, Avico! I saw some of your open discussions you left last week. Since my exams were palpable so I had no choice but tentatively leave the wiki for a month or so (I'll be formally back next week). Matters are here and there, so I'll just start a general talk ''here'': 
1. '''Right Column Template:''' I saw your attempt at changing the countdown display by adding an "in" in front of the countdown template. I have also tried to attain that, but the [[Template:Latest news]] is seemingly obstructing me in doing so, and thus I implemented the dumbest method - that is simply adding "in" inside the countdown template. 
2. '''Main Page Padding:''' Thanks for paying attention to the render of the main page and the defect concerning the right column; it was in fact a careless act whereupon I just lifted the other <nowiki><div></nowiki> tags without adjusting the padding (now from padding 10px to 0px) and the issue is resolved. 
3. '''Aoyama Documentary:''' I was rather agitated after I saw you comment on this. There is no fear in deciding whether this page should be created. I read somewhere from this wiki (probably written by Maurice) that "as long as the content is Detective Conan-related, they ''are'' eligible to stay". There isn't any information or entires on other Conan wikis too, but some editors from the Chinese [https://www.conanpedia.com/ Conanpedia] are planning on the creation of this article as well, despite imcomplete: [https://www.conanpedia.com/User:%E6%B0%B8%E8%BF%9C%E7%9A%84%E5%B0%8F%E5%B7%A5%E8%97%A4/%E6%B2%99%E7%9B%92/%E8%A1%8C%E5%AE%B6%E6%9C%AC%E8%89%B2] 
4. '''Countdown Sandbox:''' This continues from the relative talk page; I replied to you with those words only because I thought I was "forcing" you to alter the countdown template, yet if you are spontaneous with regards to it, then all is well! It is rather challenging, as in my outlook, even if it was "dynamic" accurate to seconds, it might still require refreshing. Or else we have to amend other source codes, perhaps? 
5. '''Discord Server:''' I also second the fact that the wiki should have its own Discord server. Since almost every other wiki has their own channels for "private" communications. 
6. '''Did you know:''' I was trying to make this segment switch "automatically", or better saying, altering at regular intervals. ChatGPT provided me this scheme, which is somewhat doable. But there is still another problem: the templates only switch when editors edit their pages... I am still trying to find alternatives, as you see this is not optimal. (UPDATE - now it seems to be working perfectly fine! The modulus operation was removed and it shall change every hour looping from subpages of number 1 to 6) 
May the day be the best day you have ever had - a precious member of the DCW! --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 21:24, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

== Automated right column ==
Thank thee for thy attention. Please check this out: <pre>{{LE|971|The Target is the Metropolitan Police Traffic Department|part=1|January 18, 2025}}</pre>

{{LE|560|The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|part=The Late Komei|December 19, 2009}}

It is surprisingly working! Now I believe the template is complete; it should work for all cases, even when the "part" parameter is non-numeric! --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 19:43, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

== To Be Or Not To Be? That's No Longer The Question ==

Avico, I must say something about the [[Template:Rightcolumn]].

I will not interfere with it anymore due to multiple reasons - currently time is of the essence for me; I will not waste any more of my time conducting this non-sense dispute and Rum is indeed correct, time is money.

The reason I abandoned the first version of the [[Template:Latest news]] and added [[Template:LE]] and [[Template:NE]] was to avoid the excessive use of parameters:

<div style="display: flex; gap: 10px;"><div style="padding: 10px; width: 45%;"><h4>New Version</h4><pre>
{{Latest news


| S1 Case First-Last Ep = 1150-1151
| S1 Episode Number = 1151
| S1 Case Name = Kaitou Kid and the Crown Trick
| S1 Case Part Name = (Part 2)
| S1 Episode Date = January 25, 2025
| S1 Episode Time =

| S2 Case First-Last Ep =
| S2 Episode Number = 1152
| S2 Case Name = Last Dance
| S2 Case Part Name =
| S2 Episode Date = February 8, 2025

| S3 Case First-Last Ep =
| S3 Episode Number = 1153
| S3 Case Name = The Mountain Princess of Yakushima

| Manga footnotes =
}}
</pre></div><div style="padding: 10px; width: 45%;"><h4>Old Version</h4><pre>
{{Latest news

| Latest episode = {{LE|1150|Kaitou Kid and the Crown Trick|part=1|January 18, 2025}}
| Next episode = {{NE|1151|Kaitou Kid and the Crown Trick|part=2|January 25, 2025}}

| Latest chapter number = 1137
| Latest chapter name = The Sacred Light of the Dead
| Latest chapter date = January 22, 2025

| Next chapter number = 1138
| Next chapter name = ???
| Next chapter date = January 29, 2025
}}
</pre></div></div>

Which one is more '''simplified'''? I wonder.

I do not mean to be overbearing, and would let other wiki editors' ideas to be put on the wiki. However in the premise of it being plausible. There is absolutely no need to intentionally find faults just to convince other people. First off, you were not being fair in "but I've found that these two episodes don't get written correctly", and by listsing examples of "the subheading of 'The Desperate Revival' is a hyphen instead of brackets" or "the subheading of 'Meiji Restoration Mystery Tour' is a colon instead of brackets" - the template is used for '''displaying useful information only''' and not for the accuracy of if it should be a hyphen or whatever. Furthermore, those episodes were broadcast many years ago ("The Desperate Revival" was at the start of the millennium) and so it will be extremely unlikely to have a similar case in years to come. Your reason given pertaining to "harder to debug" is also rather far-fetched to me, everything was indented nicely and fairly easy to spot the logic.

Now, regarding your latest message: I can accept the fact that "you replaced the template" but please do not give excuses such as "I found a glitch in your version". It was only faulty because you changed the [[Template:Latest news]] and not because the previous scheme was not working as it should be - even the [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/index.php?title=Template:Rightcolumn&diff=377346&oldid=377331 first version] is so lately.

Neither am I upset nor am I indignant; I just hope that we can communicate in a more truthful way rather than finding concoctive excuses like this - once again thank you for your engagement in this wiki and I will step aside from the [[Template:Rightcolumn]] from now on; good luck for you! --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 22:20, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

== Follow-up for "communications elsewhere" ==

Hey Avico :) Thanks to many people's attention, your longing for communications on other platforms has just achieved. There is now a separate thread under the #detective-conan channel of the DCEN discord server. Please join it [https://discord.gg/jK9XGc9 by clicking this link]. I will mention you afterwards so that you can join the thread. --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 10:32, 8 February 2025 (UTC)

== RE: New age calculation for InfoBox Staff ==

Hey Avico I have seen it just now! Your version is essentially the same as the former one. It only "embeds" the repeated parameter <code>date-of-birth</code> into the template itself. I just forgot to include that. The rest I think, is the same. What I referred to in the discord server would be practically unachievable without any switcheroos like "inserting Lua module" or "amending common.css" that Mr. GPT suggested. We are not programming; why bother "extracting strings"? I think it is okay, I also appreciate your responsibility and attention on this, thanks. --[[User:BOBO|'''BOBO''']] ([[User talk:BOBO|talk]]) 10:40, 29 May 2025 (UTC)

== Episode 1163 ==

I wanted to change the character infobox properly without any overcomplicated words. -- [[User:JayHas|JayHas]] ([[User talk:JayHas|JayHas]]) 14:02, 5 June 2025 (UTC)

== About Contributor Stuff ==

Pretty Sure that now i have my summer along, so i could actually spend some of the time i have to watch Conan and doing summary for missing episode (with current season being set priority), Well until my storytelling isn't consistent, as some episode i don't have much content too add in like some other. What do you think if i do average of 2-3 episode summary/day with the pace tho (I still trying to make sure of the quality around) ? '''Khá chắc bây giờ tui nghỉ hè rồi nên sẽ có thể dành 1 phần thời gian có để xem Conan và tóm tắt lại nội dung tập phim (Với mùa 30 vẫn sẽ có là ưu tiên cao nhất), Mà có lẽ cách dẫn dắt của tui nó cũng ko nhất quán mọi lúc , 1 số tập thì tui để nó ngắn hơn nhiều so với các tập khác. Bạn nghĩ sao với cái tiến độ 2-3 tập mỗi ngày của tui (tất nhiên tui cũng sẽ cố đảm bảo chất lượng cho nó) ?

P/s : I use gg doc and sometimes, even rewrite the whole sentence when trying for the summary. --[[User:Tuan|Tuan]] ([[User talk:Tuan|talk]]) 14:03, 15 June 2025 (UTC)

== Detective Conan canonicity ==

Hi, I saw your message on my wall, and I'll admit it was rash of me to make changes without discussions beforehand. With that being said, while I was watching Detective Conan, I've discovered that the anime original episodes aren't necessarily non-canon. They are considered to be extended canon. One proof of this is going back to [[The Locked Bathroom Murder Case]], we saw references of characters that didn't exist in that manga chapter, but the anime version of that chapter included those characters (e.g. [[The Fourteenth Target|Minoru Nishina]] and [[The Death God Jinnai Murder Case|Hayato Nanjo]]). It means that they do indeed exist in the anime continuity of Detective Conan. There are more examples of this which I'll provide later. And thus, Detective Conan has 2 canons/continuities, the manga continuity and the anime continuity, which the anime continuity consists of everything happened in the manga + anime-original episodes + the movies. --[[User:I was testing XD|I was testing XD]] ([[User talk:I was testing XD|talk]]) 06:25, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

: We'll discuss this on Discord, which you can access through the link [[User:Nakamura|Nakamura]] put on your talk page (you'll need a Discord account first). --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 20:42, 24 June 2025 (UTC)

'''{{nihongo|Vermouth|ベルモット|Berumotto}}''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Sharon Vineyard|シャロン・ヴィンヤード|Sharon Vin'yādo}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Chris Vineyard|クリス・ヴィンヤード|Kurisu Vin'yādo}}''', is an actress and member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Vermouth's background is very mysterious because she has been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of actress Sharon Vineyard (now "deceased") and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard.

As the actress Sharon Vineyard, Vermouth gained much fame on Broadway and in movies, even winning an Oscar. Even then, she was a member of the Black Organization. Twenty years ago, she murdered [[Jodie Starling]]'s [[FBI]] father who had collected information on her. Jodie Starling would eventually grow up to be an FBI agent and one of Vermouth's most bitter enemies. As Sharon, Vermouth became close friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were studying disguise under [[Toichi Kuroba]].

At some point Sharon began to pretend to have a daughter named Chris, who she did not got along with after she played a rude prank. That fact might have serve as a pretext to why the two 'identities' wouldn't be seen together in public. While Sharon was still alive, Chris kept out of the public eye except for acting in movies and giving interviews. Less than one year ago, Vermouth staged Sharon Vineyard's death, which allowed Chris to come out publicly. Currently, Vermouth serves the Black Organization with the public name Chris Vineyard.

Vermouth is the [[The Boss|boss]]' favorite which grants her some independence. Vermouth also has some particular connection to the boss that she does not want known by the greater organization, which [[Bourbon]] is blackmailing her with.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 898: "Scarlet Epilogue"</ref> She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like [[APTX 4869|the research]] that [[Shiho Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano|her]] [[Elena Miyano|parents]] engaged in, calling it “foolish".<ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref>

Vermouth entered the storyline some time after [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano/Sherry/Ai Haibara]]'s mysterious flight from the Organization. Her main objective was to track down and eliminate the 'traitor', and for that purpose she assumed the identity of doctor [[Tomoaki Araide]]. But although she managed to discover Shiho's reversion into a child, she did not succeed in killing her, as she met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was able to discover and thwart her plans. She also encountered the FBI during this process.

Vermouth has great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him "[[Silver Bullet]]". Since it has been revealed that she knows about Ai and Kudo's reversion to their child forms, she seems to know the shrinking effect the drug can have, but for reasons yet unrevealed she keeps this knowledge secret from the rest of the Organization.

== Personality ==
Although she follows orders from the boss and [[Gin]] when he is charge of missions, Vermouth often acts according to her own agenda and whims, even when it runs contrary to the [[Black Organization]]'s best interests. She is secretive and manipulative, even towards other Organization members. Vermouth is confident in her abilities, is very bold, and an expert at manipulating situations to her advantage: traits which allow her to single-handedly weave complex plots and take the upper hand even while she is being monitored by enemies. She is intelligent and insightful, correctly suspecting the allegiance of Kir, but she was successfully outwitted by [[Conan]] and forced by [[Shuichi Akai]] to retreat.
[[File:Vermouth_provokes_Gin.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan (Cool Guy), [[Ran]] (Angel), and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and Ran (Angel) saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]]. Vermouth also appears to be an atheist at first as she claims to not believe in God nor angels until Ran unknowingly rescued her which seemed to have given her back some faith.

At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. She dislikes the Miyano family's research. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (Cool Guy) (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.

While she does kill people, something suggests that she is not much into killing children. When Jodie, as a child, caught Vermouth, Vermouth didn't kill her directly but instead asked her to stay in the house, which she later set on fire. It could mean that she doesn't like to kill children directly. And when she questions a young witness, [[Toji Funemoto]], about Kir's accident, she lets him live.

She enjoys teasing others, seen when she disguised as a male waiter and served Gin and Vodka martinis and taunted Chianti by wishing her good luck and blowing her a kiss.<ref>[[Volume 49#File 501 - Follow the Target!|Volume 49, File 501, page 7: "Follow the Target!"]]</ref>

== Abilities ==
=== Disguise ===
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Her disguising ability has been noted by Conan to be on par with the current Kaito Kid (Kaito Kuroba).<ref>[[Volume 44|Volume 44, File 457, Page 7]]</ref> Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. [[Jodie Starling]] once referred to Vermouth's disguise abilities as a frightening type of perfection.<ref>[[Episode 362]]</ref>

=== Reconnaissance ===
Vermouth specializes in reconnaissance and infiltration, and has been shown to work very swiftly yet cautiously to rapidly acquire information. Her confidence and skill in disguise and imitation means she can execute bold plans that put her in very close contact with her targets and she can advance her plot even when they are suspicious of her. Without the aid of the other organization members, Vermouth successfully snuck into the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters]] in order to steal the records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases. She later returned them when presumably the surveillance would be even higher after the police noticed the files were missing. She then single-handedly staked out the [[FBI]] who were lured out into watching Kogoro Mouri and uncovered their numbers, addresses, and ways to contact them.

=== Stamina ===
Vermouth is quite strong and has developed a high pain tolerance. While she was disguised as a serial killer in New York City, Vermouth athletically vaults up from a dead hanging positioning over the railing of the stairwell to higher ground despite being shot in the side. She also shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Shuichi, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

=== Pain Tolerance ===
She shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Shuichi, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

=== Shooting ===
As Vermouth pulled away in Jodie's car with broken ribs after her flak jacket absorbed a close range shotgun blast, she managed to aim a handgun backwards with her left hand using the side mirror while driving a car she wasn't used to and shoot Araide's car's gas tank standing 100 yards away, causing it to explode. Shuichi is impressed she managed that difficult shot with her battered body. Earlier however, she failed to draw fast enough to shoot Jodie or Shuichi; in the first case, the gun was shot out of her hand, in the second, Shuichi fired first.

== Non-aging ==
[[File:Vermouth 20 years ago.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's appearance 20 years before the current timeline.]]
For some reason, Vermouth does not appear to age. Her apparent age hasn’t changed since she murdered Jodie’s parents twenty years ago.<ref name="f433">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> [[Shuichi Akai]] proved that Vermouth was not wearing a mask when his shotgun fire grazed her face. Specifically, it hasn't been clarified if Vermouth hasn't aged over time or if she became younger all at once. It is also important to note that Vermouth's talent for disguise makes it difficult to figure out when Vermouth stopped aging or deaged.

== Plot exposition ==
=== Family history ===
[[File:Vermouth Sharon Vineyard EP345.png|thumb|right|200px|Chris and Sharon Vineyard]]
In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. The fall-out between mother and daughter probably serves as an excuse to why the two of them never are seen together. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.

Little is known of Sharon Vineyard's mother and father. Sharon's parents were not actors, at least not well known ones, because Agasa called Chris Vineyard a second generation actress.<ref name="f341p8">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 8: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> According to Sharon's story, both her mother and father died in a fire on the day Sharon debuted on screen.<ref name="f351p2">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 2: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref>

So far, Sharon Vineyard's age has not been given and nothing is known about her personal history before she became an actress. Even her fans knew little about her private life even after she became famous.<ref name="f344p9">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 9: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Sharon said her road to stardom was very difficult and full of misfortune, prompting her to doubt the existence of God: "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 18: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Sharon became a star actress<ref name="f350p16">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 16: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> and, according to [[Shuichi Akai]], is best known for her work in the Golden Apple broadway play.
[[File:Chris with veil.png|thumb|left|200px|Chris Vineyard coming out into public for the first time - at the funeral of her mother Sharon Vineyard]]
At some point, she married and gave birth to her daughter Chris Vineyard. Her husband later died of an unspecified illness the day after Sharon won an Oscar. While studying for an acting role approximately 20 years ago, Sharon learned disguise techniques from [[Toichi Kuroba]] alongside the aspiring young Japanese actress [[Yukiko Kudo]].<ref name="f350p17">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 17: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref><ref>Yukiko started her career while in high-school. Yukiko is 37 currently so the time frame while Yukiko was studying as a beginning actress is approximately 20 years ago when Yukiko was 17 or 18.</ref> During their time together, Yukiko became Sharon's friend, and they have maintained contact with one another. Sharon later sent Yukiko three tickets to Golden Apple broadway production the year before she died. The cause of Sharon's death has not been revealed.

Chris Vineyard meanwhile became a successful actress quickly by riding the coattails of her mother's fame.<ref name="f351p2" /> She began to make movies and give interviews to reporters only, but otherwise she never appeared publicly.<ref name="f344p9" /> The first day she came out into public was the day of her mother's funeral some time less than one year ago.<ref name="f344p9" /> A reporter who tried to question Chris asked where she went to school, whether she got along with her mother, who her father is, and if the rumored lover she has will appear at Sharon's funeral.<ref name="f344p10">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 10: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Chris answered none of these, but the types of questions which were asked demonstrate the secrecy surrounding the Vineyard family history.

Sharon Vineyard and Chris apparently didn't get along; Sharon doesn't consider Chris to be her daughter.<ref name="f351p2" /> Sharon explained this by relaying a tale to Yukiko about Chris who disguised as Sharon's husband and then met with Sharon when she visited her husband's grave to lay flowers.<ref name="f351p3">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 3: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref> Sharon did teach Chris the disguise techniques she learned from Toichi after Chris begged for them.<ref name="f351p3" /> One year prior to the current timeline, Sharon says she hasn't seen Chris in ten years and that she is currently hanging out with a "bad crowd" of people.<ref name="f351p3"/>

=== Hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not Jodie ===
[[File:Jodie mirror pictures.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images. This detail is erroneously omitted in the anime adaptation.]]
There were several hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not [[Jodie Saintemillion]] who was also a candidate for being Vermouth before her true identity was revealed.
* The records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases that Vermouth stole did not contain any cases involving [[Jodie Saintemillion]], but did contain the murder case [[Tomoaki Araide]] was involved in. This was the clue that allowed Conan to deduce Araide was Vermouth.
* Jodie's copies of [[Media:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard]] have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures.<ref name="f343p18">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 18: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> This detail was overlooked in the anime. Also, Jodie has a picture of Dr. Araide.
* Araide switches from the basketball to the drama club.<ref name="f270p3">[[Volume 27#File 270 - Game Start|Volume 27, File 270, page 3: "Game Start"]]</ref>
* Haibara skipped school on the day of the yearly health checkups that Dr. Araide gives the elementary school students. Conan wonders if Haibara thinks there is something wrong with Araide.<ref name="f287p3">[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287, page 9: "The Unseen Horror"]]</ref>
* Vermouth falls out of character. One of her patients says Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger.<ref name=355p6>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 6: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> Also, "Dr. Araide" claims to have sent his grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori,<ref name=355p5>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 5: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> which is strange because it was established in the Araide family murder case<ref>[[Volume 24#File 235 - In the Darkness...|Volume 24, Files 235-236: "In the Darkness..."]]</ref> that Araide didn't trust them (especially Hikaru) to take care of themselves.<ref>[[Volume 35#File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1|Volume 35, File 355: "Mystery of the Haunted House 1"]], [[The Truth of the Haunted House|Episode 274: The Truth of the Haunted House]]</ref>

=== Jodie's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ===
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|right|200px|Seven year old Jodie encounters Vermouth twenty years ago.]]
Jodie's father in the FBI was secretly investigating Vermouth twenty years before the current storyline.<ref name="f433" /> That is too young for Chris Vineyard to be in disguise as she is only 29 currently and would be 9 at the time. After Vermouth killed Jodie's father she inadvertently handled Jodie’s father’s glasses barehanded which had fallen off of him and got her fingerprints on them. Unexpectedly, little Jodie came in and saw Vermouth holding the glasses. When Vermouth left after setting the house on fire, she didn't anticipate that Jodie left to get juice, taking her father’s glasses with her and thus preserving her fingerprint. After she discovered Jodie's corpse was not found in the house, Vermouth looked for the girl desperately in order to rectify her mistake, but Jodie had since been put into witness protection.

Jodie suspected Chris Vineyard of being Vermouth when she saw her at Sharon’s funeral. She somehow determined Chris Vineyard’s prints matched those of the glasses. Chris would have been too young to commit a crime 20 years ago, so later Jodie obtained Sharon’s fingerprints and matched those as well. All three matched, proving to Jodie that the three people were one and the same.

=== Conan's investigation ===
==== Conan's discovery Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide ====
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] suspects [[Pisco]] had help from another [[Black Organization]] member. He looks into [[Chris Vineyard]] and realizes that she is able to disguise herself and may be pretending to be someone close to him. [[Kogoro Mouri]]’s case records were stolen from the police department. Conan realizes [[Tomoaki Araide]] is Vermouth because Vermouth needed the files to testify at the trial properly while in disguise.
[[File:Vermouth as Araide.png|left|thumb|200px|Vermouth as Dr. Araide]]
Conan first suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the mourning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. Conan didn't realize that this Black Organization member might be after him or Haibara until after the bus jack case when 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="f291p11">[[Volume 29#File 291 - A Tiny Trace|Volume 29, File 291, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"]]</ref> After he recognizes Shuichi in the P & A case<ref name="f326">[[Volume 32#File 326 - P & A|Volume 32, File 326-328: "P & A"]]</ref>, Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of someone investigating them.<ref name="f332">[[Volume 33#File 332 - Bloody Valentine 2|Volume 33, File 332: "Bloody Valentine 2"]]</ref> Conan doesn't seem to suspect the person Vermouth has replaced, [[Tomoaki Araide|Dr. Araide]], yet because he was willing to use his voice changer in front of him.<ref name="f330">[[Volume 33#File 330 - Sato's Feelings|Volume 33, File 2: "Sato's feelings"]]</ref>

Conan gets his first tangible proof someone is investigating around him when [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 33#File 336 - Clean Scent|Volume 33, File 336, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"]]</ref> He begins to wonder who the target is and suspects Shuichi may be behind the incident because of the timing. Conan also begins to suspect the English teacher [[Jodie Starling|Jodie Saintemillion]] and Dr. Araide as well because they were also on the bus.<ref name="f343p17">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 17: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> He isn't sure of the motive for taking the records although Conan wonders if someone is trying to lure him out or if the person returned the files because they already knew what Conan would do.<ref name="f341">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref>

Conan's idea that Pisco had an accomplice among the other suspects has fully solidified. He has noticed one of the suspects who had a purple handkerchief, [[Chris Vineyard]], hasn't appeared in public since that case, thus Conan believes Chris is the Black Organization accomplice. He asks [[Agasa]] to go onto Chris's fansite and gather information on her past, interests, and habits<ref name="f341p3">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 3: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> and Agasa's investigation corroborates with Conan's deduction.<ref name="f344p9" /> Conan is already aware that Chris Vineyard has disguise abilities and may be in disguise as someone around him.<ref name="f343p17" />

At this point, Conan is still uncertain of Araide, Jodie, and Shuichi's allegiances. He learns from [[Ran Mouri|Ran Mouri]] that Shuichi Akai was seen with a man in an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] jacket during the New York case, causing Conan to wonder if the FBI is in Japan for some reason or the Black Organization infiltrated the American law enforcement.<ref name="f380p5">[[Volume 37#File 380 - White Snow... Black Shadow...|Volume 37, File 380, pages 5-6: "White Snow... Black Shadow..."]]</ref> Conan begins to take precautions around Dr. Araide and Jodie by lying to them in order to minimize contact and information they have about Haibara.<ref name="f420">[[Volume 41#File 420 - The Enclosing Surrounding Net|Volume 41, File 420: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net"]]</ref><ref name="f422">[[Volume 41#File 422 - Inescapable Target|Volume 41, File 422: "Inescapable Target"]]</ref> However, Jodie and Dr. Araide both go over to Agasa's house and plant listening devices because Conan failed to communicate his suspicion and plans to Agasa.<ref name="f422" />

By the time Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he has realized that Vermouth is most likely Dr. Araide because Jodie wasn't in Mouri's case files when they were stolen, while Araide was. Vermouth needed the files to give proper testimony at the trial and to act correctly as Araide. Vermouth puts her plan to capture Haibara into action by calling Agasa's house as Dr. Araide saying he wants to take Haibara to a hospital because her cough hasn't gotten better.<ref name="f430p9">[[Volume 42#File 430 - The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood|Volume 42, File 430, page 9: "The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood"]]</ref> Conan is still unsure of Jodie's allegiance until she answers the door before Dr. Araide arrives. Jodie lies to "Haibara" (who is really Conan in disguise) saying that Dr. Araide's car has broken down and she has come in his place.<ref name="f431p3">[[Volume 42#File 431 - The Invisible Man Enters!|Volume 42, File 431, page 3: "The Invisible Man Enters!"]]</ref> Conan catches the lie and realizes that Jodie has been listening to the bugs as well and is acting to protect Haibara, meaning she is against Vermouth. Armed with this info, he asks Jodie to force the truth from Vermouth, and in return he will trust her.<ref name="f432p4">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 4: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

Conan tells Jodie the true scenario of Dr. Araide's family murder case.<ref name="f433p11">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433, page 11: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> Tomoaki Araide’s father, Yoshiteru Araide, was killed in his bathtub via electrocution. The murder was masterminded by Yoshiteru Araide's second wife, Yoko Araide. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathroom and put an electric shaver in the bathtub. She then crept back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted. "Sleeping Kogoro", the police, and the criminal decided to create a false investigation record to protect the conscience of the maid Hikaru. Jodie used this to her advantage and forced Vermouth to reveal that she didn't know the true sequence of events.<ref name="f432p11">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 11: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

==== Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ====
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide.<ref name=354p3>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (354), pg 3: "Golden Apple 5". Note that Conan had not figured out everything completely at this point.</ref><ref>Manga [[Volume 37]], File 8 (380), pg 6: "White Snow... Black Shadow...". Conan is now convinced that the serial killer was killed. He had begun suspecting Shuichi Akai previously, and he still does at this point after Ran informs him Shuichi is an FBI agent, because Shuichi could be a spy in the FBI from the Black Organization.</ref> Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.

After Vermouth disguised as Araide, Conan deduced from the way Vermouth was behaving that she was trying to avoid involving Conan in her plan and was only targeting Haibara. Vermouth as Dr. Araide risked her life to protect Conan in the bus jack case and helped him out in Sato's matchup case. When Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he realizes that Vermouth's intentions are to only trap Haibara and that Vermouth is trying to lure Conan to the party to avoid catching him up in her plan.

Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.<ref>Manga [[Volume 42]], File 10, pg 5</ref>

All these clues come together when Conan makes the assumption that Sharon Vineyard is Chris Vineyard who disguised as the silver haired serial killer in New York and that she is grateful for being rescued by [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and [[Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="f429p9">[[Volume 42#File 429 - The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet|Volume 42, File 429, page 9: "The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet"]]. After Conan tells Agasa that Vermouth probably knows who they are, Agasa asks "If they know that much, why haven't they come here to kill you?". Conan's response is, "I don't know the reason, but... but I think I at least know one of the causes."</ref>

== Speculation ==
=== Vermouth's true age ===
Vermouth's age is unknown because her history is largely unclear. We know she has lived as Chris who is 29, and as Sharon whose age is unknown. Her face when she killed Jodie's father 20 years ago was youthful, suggesting she is currently at least 40 years old as long as no deaging has occurred...

On the train, when she was talking to Yukiko, Yukiko brought up whatever is used to keep your youthful appearance. She mentiioned about painful that it did not effect the rest of her body, however she sure does not move around like a person in their 40s, and let alone older.

=== Vermouth did not use APTX 4869 ===
A popular theory on Vermouth's non-aging is that she used [[APTX 4869]] to achieve her youthfulness since this is the only known substance capable of producing such an effect ([[Silver Bullet]]'s effects are unknown at this point). However, at present there are things that contradict such a notion. Vermouth would have faced near certain death if she had used APTX 4869.<ref name=V2/> Before Vermouth discovered Haibara and Conan, the known members of the Black Organization (besides Sherry) only knew about APTX 4869's lethal effects,<ref>Sherry did not report the results that several of her mice shrank to the greater organization because they have not been able to figure out how Shiho managed to escape the locked room. If Shiho had reported her data, the Organization would have known that shrinking was a possible side effect of APTX 4869 and would have figured out how she escaped and begun looking for a child. Furthermore, if Shiho had reported to the Organization that APTX 4869 had the possibility of leaving the victim alive, the boss and/or Shiho's superiors would not have permitted the drug in situations where the victim, if surviving, could escape as in Shinichi's case.</ref> and it was considered deadly enough that Sherry's superiors employed it as an untraceable murder weapon.<ref name=V2>Gin described APTX 4869 as a poison before using it on Shinichi, "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff..." (V1-1 pg 37) Haibara also mentions that it was used on a number of other people, "Of all the people who took the drug, only your death hadn't been confirmed yet." (V18-9 pg 6 The Org took great pains to ensure the people APTX4869 was used on were dead, evidenced when they sent Shiho out to investigate Shinichi's case twice to confirm his death. (V18-9 pg 6) Additionally, Gin gave the OK for it to be employed in a time sensitive assassination where failure would be unacceptable: "Anyway, our superior has ordered us to kill him before he rats us out. Don't screw up, Pisco! If there is any complication, you can use the 'experimental drug' [APTX 4869]" (V24-7 pg 17) If the boss, who has been stated to be cautious to a fault, knew about the risk that someone might survive APTX 4869, he would not let his subordinates use the drug without letting them know there was a chance it would leave people alive because, if someone escaped, they could talk to the police or someone else and leak the secret of the Black Organization's existence. If Gin knew it failed to work some of the time, he would have never left Shinichi alone while it acted, and would have also gone looking for him after his body disappeared if that was the case. Even Shiho Miyano who was aware APTX 4869 could rarely cause de-aging expected it to kill her. "I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8) Finally, Shiho makes it clear the Organization is not simply trying APTX 4869 out on victims, they are actively using it to kill. "If I reported your condition to the Organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." (V18-9 pg 7) Even though Shinichi was an "interesting specimen" (V18-9 pg 7), if the Org was field testing, they would try to capture Shinichi alive for study. Shiho was still project manager when use on humans began and when Shinichi was poisoned, so she would know the Organization's protocol should someone fail to die.</ref> However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series,<ref>"No angel has smiled upon me", "My life represents a series of misfortunes" (V35-1 pg 2)</ref> it is possible Vermouth took APTX 4869 hoping to commit suicide, but she de-aged instead, similar to Haibara's situation<ref>"I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8)</ref>. Vermouth could have also gambled on taking APTX 4869 after she recognized the deaged Shiho and Shinichi and then discovered that APTX 4869 was the common connection between them and likely cause of their conditions. However, both the suicide scenario (if it occurred while Shiho was working on the drug) and the gambling scenario fail to explain why no one in the Black Organization has questioned why Vermouth has become younger, especially after Gin saw her true face following the Haunted Ship case<ref>Shuichi's shotgun fire struck Vermouth's face and wounded it which made it apparent she wasn't wearing a mask and thus that was her true face. Vermouth was picked up by Gin in a telephone booth and he would have noticed her facial injury as well.</ref>, and then connected that with APTX 4869 use and Sherry's mysterious escape from the handcuffs and locked room. 
It is possible that Atsushi and Elena Miyano had something to do with Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging (e.g. Vermouth was their guinea pig). This might explain the personal animosity Vermouth feels towards the Miyanos and why she calls their APTX experiment foolish.

Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging may be a result of a project older than Shiho's APTX 4869, like her parents' [[Silver Bullet]], or something else even older than that. This would explain why none of the other members of the Black Organization suspect that APTX 4869 can also cause this effect and thus are unaware of the possibility Shiho de-aged to escape.

Another possibility, could be if she ever administered the APTX 4869 orally, as in she hides it in her mouth, and transfers it to her intended target, as in Mary Sera's case, the de-aging effect may had kept her young, while it may kill or make young the target.

After all, she did state her skin care regiment for retaining her youthful glow to Yukiko in [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train]] painfully does not affect the entire body, which hints that it mostly affects the face, and other external appearances.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth with Yukiko approximately 20 years ago.]]
Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.

====Toichi Kuroba====
Sharon, along with the aspiring actress Yukiko Kudo, studied the finer arts of disguise under Toichi Kuroba. Sharon seems to be unaware of Toichi's alter ego as Kaitou Kid, and that his son, Kaito Kuroba, once interfered with her and Bourbon's plan of capturing Sherry.<ref>Bell Tree Express Train Case</ref>

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{Main|Gin and Vermouth}}
[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth teases Gin with a disguise.]]
Vermouth and [[Gin]] are both executive members. 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, Vermouth and Gin trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her intentions.<ref name="CD239b">Conan Drill page 239, "同僚・信頼" (Colleagues Trusted)</ref> Gin doesn't mind threatening her with bodily harm, he nearly stabbed her through the head with an icepick on one occasion when she teased him disguised as a waiter, and he later pointed his gun at her when asking how she was connected with Kogoro. She doesn't seem especially bothered by any of these threats however. Because Vermouth is a high ranking member and the boss's favorite, she isn't scared of provoking the other agents, not even Gin who is extremely dangerous and sensitive. She smiled after moving her head to avoid Gin's deadly sweep with an icepick telling him that "She was just joking" which shows that she enjoys teasing him.

==== Sherry ====
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth terrifies Haibara.]]
Vermouth and [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Shiho fears Vermouth more than most other members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. During the '[[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Bell Tree Express arc]]', Vermouth tries to use C4 explosives to kill Sherry without telling anyone about the plan, while Bourbon wanted to take her back alive hinting at an abnormal hatred towards her. Additionally if Shiho was in a relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a romantic relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref>

==== The Boss ====
In file 898, Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the [[The Boss|boss]], implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship. Within the syndicate, Vermouth is also known as the Boss' Favorite.
As the Boss' Favorite, Vermouth is granted some privileges such as limited independence and protection from other Black Organization Members.

==== Calvados (deceased) ====
[[Calvados]] was in love with Vermouth, and Vermouth took advantage of his feelings and used him. Vermouth called on Calvados to aid her in disposing with Jodie and capturing Haibara at the shipping yards. After Shuichi got the best of Calvados and Vermouth, she chose to run away, leaving him at the mercy of the FBI. Calvados chose to commit suicide rather than be caught.

==== Chianti and Korn ====
[[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] both hate Vermouth because they believe that Vermouth took advantage of Calvados' feelings for her and used him, leading him to his death. Chianti has been more vocal with her hatred than Korn.

==== Pisco (deceased) ====
Although Vermouth and [[Pisco]] are executive members, Vermouth dislikes and looks down on Pisco despite cooperating with him.<ref name="CD239d">Conan Drill page 239, {{Lang|ja|見下す}} (despise look down on}</ref>

==== Rei Furuya/Bourbon ====
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]]/ Bourbon worked with Vermouth on a plan to determine if [[Shuichi Akai]] was really dead. She made [[Scar Akai|masks that looked like Shuichi's face with a scar]] for him so he could approach Shuichi's friends and colleagues to see their reactions to him. She also interfered with his plans to capture Sherry alive by rigging the location Rei intended to trap Sherry in with explosives to kill her,and it probably had nothing to do with her being aware that Gin and Vodka probably placed a ton of explosives at the destination platform, which would have caused the entire train, and everyone on it, including her and Boubon, to blow up as well.

==== Rum ====
The relationship between the Boss' Favorite and the Boss' Close Aide is somewhat unknown, although Vermouth was once seen taking orders from syndicate's Second-In-Command. Vermouth was tasked to investigate Yusaku Kudo, an individual whom Rum considers a threat to the Black Organization in Yusaku Kudo's TV Show Case.

==== Tequila (deceased) ====
Suguru Itakura suspected that Vermouth and [[Tequila]] were in cahoots when both individuals demanded him to finish a particular program that the Black Organization was interested in. Though Vermouth and Tequila are never shown interacting on screen or in the manga, it can be assumed they did speak at some point in a coordinated effort to intimidate Itakura to finish the computer program the Organization wanted.

==== Vodka====
Throughout the series, Vermouth has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vodka]], unlike other members of the Organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling]] has a bitter hatred for Vermouth because Vermouth murdered her father, but Vermouth doesn't have any particular animosity for Jodie beyond her being a skilled FBI adversary whom she would like to kill. Jodie thinks Vermouth is an entirely evil person. Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to students and patients while disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], so when the real Araide wonders if Vermouth is really a bad person, Jodie takes offense and angrily yells at him, "How can someone be a good person if she kills people with a smile!?"<ref>Manga Volume 45, File 2, pg 18: "The truth behind the remaining desk"</ref>

Twenty years before the current timeline, Vermouth goes to the house of Jodie's father, an FBI agent, and kills him. An eight to nine year old [[Jodie Starling]] walks in while Vermouth was trying to put his glasses back on his body and thinks her father is asleep. Vermouth tells her that she should wait for her father to wake up. When the girl asks her who is she, Vermouth replies "A secret makes a woman, woman". Vermouth burns the house down, thinking Jodie stayed behind and was killed as well. However, the girl goes out of the house to buy orange juice for her father, narrowly escaping death. She also takes her father's glasses with her, preserving the fingerprints Vermouth left on them. When Vermouth finds out Jodie's body was not in the house, she looks for her to kill her, but the FBI enrolled her in witness protection. Jodie later becomes an FBI agent in order to find her father's killer.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Vermouth and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] don't have much personal animosity for each other in particular despite the fact that they have been hunting one another for some time. Vermouth regards Shuichi as a "silver bullet": someone with the potential to destroy the Black Organization. In accordance with this assessment, she attacks him immediately and preferentially in the confrontation with her at the docks. Shuichi seems to hit a nerve when he called her a rotten apple, wilted on the inside.

==== Kir ====
Kir and her have a respectable relationship in the Black Organization. After Kir says a phrase that the CIA uses, she suspects that [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] is a member of the CIA though she hasn't told anyone about it.

=== Others ===
[[File:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's dartboard. Conan's picture has "Cool guy" written on it while Ran's says "Angel."]]
==== Shinichi Kudo/ Edogawa Conan ====
After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] helped Ran save Vermouth's life in New York while she was disguised as a serial killer, she nicknames him "Cool guy".

Later in the series, after [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] successfully interfered with Vermouth's plan of killing [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], then almost forced her to surrender and take him to find the boss, she gives him another nickname - "Silver bullet" - as she believes that he has the potential to destroy the Black Organization, because he could touch her heart.

Generally, Vermouth tries to protect Shinichi when she is able to, even if it means risking her own life. Although Shinichi found out later that he unknowingly rescued Vermouth in New York City and that Vermouth was a friend of [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko's]], Shinichi doesn't understand why Vermouth would make the promise to give up on hunting Sherry and not inform the [[Black Organization]] about Haibara and himself.

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 is able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

In [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Head-to Head]], After Conan removed his Haibara mask, he was distracted, when Haibara showed up on the scene, which gave Vermouth the needed opening to use his stun gun wrist watch on him, to place him to sleep, before gently sitting him down beside the car, so he does not get hurt in the fall.

She also destroyed the box that he was connected to by many wires, so as not to possibly accidentally kill or hurt him, which pulling out the wires would have, according to Conan.

After she used sleeping gas, in order to knock him back out, so that she can escape, and not lead the Black Organization members to him.

She even covered the sleeping boy up with her coat, so that he would not get sick, since she had literally cut his shirt wide open, in order to see the wires and connected box, which may have made him sick, if he is not found right away, since it is pretty cold, and colds are spreading at this time.

She shot herself in the leg, and had to hobble some distance away from the car, so that he would remain out of sight, and no where around her, when Gin came to pick her up.

In [[the Raven Chaser]], she even provided Conan with the name of [[Irish]], and gave him a little bit of information of why the Organization is interested in this serial murder case.

In [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Black Impact]], when she was speaking on the cell phone to [[Gin]], she mentioned hearing noise, and then she thought that Conan may have had something to do with the noise coming from Gin's car, and when Gin asked about what noise, she quickly "Never mind. It is nothing," in order to protect Conan. Also, when the Gin ordered [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to kill [[Kogoro Mori]] together with Conan, Vermouth was against it.

==== Ran Mouri ====
After Ran saved Vermouth's life in New York City, Vermouth nicknames [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] "Angel". Earlier, Vermouth, as her Sharon Vineyard role, complained that her life was a series of misfortunes and, "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18" /> Even though Vermouth in disguise prepared to kill Ran later, Ran stopped Vermouth from taking a fatal fall. Vermouth was touched by this act of kindness. Much later in the story when Ran shielded Haibara from gunfire with her body, Vermouth refused to shoot Ran or allow her to be shot, instead firing around her in an attempt to frighten Ran into releasing Haibara. Although Ran does not know who Vermouth really is, she values the handkerchief that Sharon Vineyard gave her back in New York. She also describes her as "one of only two treasures in her life" (the other being Shinichi Kudo) when Ran asked her if she was or wasn't Azusa Enomoto.

====Tomoaki Araide====
Vermouth originally intended to kill Araide and take his place to approach Conan and Haibara more closely. Anticipating this development, the FBI faked his death and Vermouth took his place as expected, giving the FBI an opportunity to investigate Vermouth in close proximity.
While disguised as Tomoaki Araide, Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to the students and patients. This fact made the real Araide wonder if Vermouth is really a bad person<ref> Teitan High School's Ghost Story</ref>.

====Suguru Itakura====
Vermouth's Target. Sharon and Itakura worked before in movies containing visual effects and the two were known for their constant quarelling. Although Itakura seems to be unaware of Sharon's persona as Vermouth, he follows her orders anyway and partially completed the program that the Black Organization was interested in.

====Yusaku Kudo====
Sharon and Yusaku were probably acquainted through Yukiko Kudo, a friend of Sharon's and Yusaku's wife. Vermouth once investigated him after being tasked by Rum to monitor the individual, considering him a threat to the Black Organization. However, Yusaku saw through the syndicate's ploy and tricked Vermouth into thinking that they are just staying for vacation.
Since Yusaku is Shinichi's Father, it is unclear if Vermouth really meant to kill him when she stated on planning to eliminate the "person of interest" when necessary.

====Kogoro Mouri====
Vermouth once stole Kogoro's files from the police to successfully testify as Tomoaki Araide in court and later returned them in one piece.
Since Kogoro is Ran's Father, Vermouth tried to protect him from being killed by Gin after he was suspected on planting a bug on Kir's shoe, implying her consideration for Ran's feelings and welfare.

====Mary Sera====
Vermouth once disguised as Tsutomu Akai in an attempt to lure out Mary Sera on Vauxhall Bridge in London.<ref>File 1048</ref> She intended to take her place and infiltrate the Secret Intelligence Service. However, as complications went underway, Vermouth forcibly ingested APTX 4869 into Mary's mouth, shrinking her to her childhood state.<ref>File 1049</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Vodka|ウォッカ|Wokka}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is [[Gin]]'s partner and, like him, was first introduced under the name of Kaspar in the English manga, but then was later renamed to Vodka.

== Background ==
Vodka is a member of the [[Black Organization]] who is often seen by Gin's side. His official position is that of secretary in the general oversight division<ref>Conan Drill page 237. Vodka's position is 全体監視役秘書係 which roughly translates to General Oversight division secretary</ref>, so he handles most of the research and information for the duo, such as setting up meetings (309-311), and relaying information to other members (54, 345). Vodka is often seen using some transport.

== Appearance ==
Vodka has a muscular body, a wide chin making him look more like a member of the mafia, yakuza or simply a thug. Vodka wears a black fedora with a red stripe around it, also he wears black clothes but his shirt is red. Vodka is mostly seen wearing black glasses.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vodka calls Itakura.png|thumb|left|200px|Vodka makes a phone call to Itakura, but instead of him, Agasa and Conan are in Itakura's cottage.]]
Vodka speaks and acts like a typical mafia or Yakuza type gangster, and he is just as ruthless a killer as his partner Gin. However, he is also more easy-going and trusting than the latter, thus making him more susceptible to traps Conan sets to apprehend the Organization. In addition, he tends to not perform well under stress without guidance from Gin or other characters, as exemplified in [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] when, distracted by Gin being sedated, he fails to realize Shiho is escaping and stop her before it is too late.

While his astuteness is largely overshadowed by Gin, Vodka can notice details that Gin does not, sometimes to the point of endangering Conan. An example of this would again be in Sherry’s Return, where Vodka noted Haibara’s partially consumed bottle of ''[[paikaru]]'' and the unfolded laptop containing data about [[APTX 4869]]. (She had left these behind in order to be able to climb through the chimney and successfully escape from the room before the two arrived).
On the bullet train's dining car,<ref>Note that in the anime, their appearance was replaced by a pair of generic lookalike criminals.</ref> Vodka spotted a piece of gum that Conan had previously planted; however, Vodka then confirmed it was just a piece of gum, apparently unaware of the tracker hidden inside.
Another example occurred while Vodka was on the phone with Conan, who at the time was impersonating the Organization contact [[Suguru Itakura]] with his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice changing bowtie]]. During the conversation, Vodka heard the click of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] turning on the lights in the background, although Conan again alleviates his suspicions by telling him that the sound was just the wind blowing. 

== Abilities ==
=== Marksmanship ===
Vodka is a fairly accurate shot with handguns. In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] he pretty accurately shoots at adult height where Conan is standing behind the door. Note that in the anime, Vodka is depicted as shooting wildly because the animators mistook the drawings of the muzzle flash for wall impacts.

=== Memory ===
Vodka apparently has a good memory. He could recall offhand the conditions, reasons, and circumstances of the Shinichi's death quite some time after the fact when Gin asked.

== Plot overview ==
Vodka was the first Black Organization member introduced to the series.

=== Blackmail Transaction with a Company Owner (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===
[[File:Vodka's blackmail transaction.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vodka conduct a blackmail transaction with a company owner.]]
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Murder of Akemi Miyano (Manga: [[Volume 2|16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]]) ===
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]
In order to free both her sister and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. Meanwhile, Gin and Vodka meets Masami, who call her Akemi Miyano. Gin asks where the money is. Akemi refuses to reveal the location without them giving up her sister, since she'd done the job on the condition that the two of them could leave after. Gin answers that her sister, as a "top brain" in the organization, is too indispensable to have ever considered giving up. Akemi refuses Gin offer of one last chance to reveal the money cache.

=== Bullet Train Case (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]]) ===
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|150px|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]
Gin and Vodka board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.

=== Game Company Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]]) ===
[[File:Tequila talk with Vodka by phone-call.jpg|left|thumb|right|200px|Conan overhears Tequila start a phone-call with Vodka.]]
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima. The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him.

Meanwhile, Conan sees Tequila again on their way back, trading tag 98 for a Mantendo-employee briefcase. Conan is curious, but decides it's not his problem until he overhears the man start a phone-call with Vodka by identifying himself as Tequila and ask Vodka to tell Gin that he promise to meet both of them later.

Tequila and Vodka speak over the phone, though Vodka's dialogue is never heard in the episode, and we're left to interpret it through Tequila's responses. Tequila is easily frustrated talking to Vodka, though it may just be from Conan distracting Tequila for a few seconds. Neither Gin or Vodka appear in the episode aside from some background shots, and Vodka doesn't have lines.

When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara.

In the chimney, Haibara meet Kenzo Masuyama who is revealed to be Pisco. When he is just about to shoot Haibara, Conan reveals himself to Pisco. Ethanol fumes are set alight by Pisco's cigarette and the whole cellar catches fire. Conan and Haibara escape in the confusion. Pisco hears someone getting down the chimney. He thought that it was Conan and Haibara, but it was actually Gin who had survived from Conan's tranquilizer darts. He then tells Pisco that he was photographed when commiting the crime, and then shoots him, resulting in his death.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== 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]]. In the Funimation dub, they fixed this continuity error by having Heiji Hattori hint the code names Gin and Vodka.

==== 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.

==== Murder of Akemi Miyano ([[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|Anime 128]]) ====
Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Meanwhile, Gin and Vodka meets Masami, who call her Akemi Miyano. Gin asks where the money is. Akemi refuses to reveal the location without them giving up her sister, since she'd done the job on the condition that the two of them could leave after. Gin answers that her sister, as a "top brain" in the organization, is too indispensable to have ever considered giving up. Akemi refuses Gin offer of one last chance to reveal the money cache.

=== Special Manga Appearances ===
==== [[Special Volume 35#Protect the Luxury Liner from the Virus|Protect the Luxury Liner from the Virus (Part 1)]] ====

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Gin ===
Vodka is a subordinate of [[Gin]]'s and they frequently work together as a team, or are seen communicating with one another by phone. Vodka shows Gin absolute respect, using honorifics<ref> Vodka refers to Gin as "aniki", which literally means "big brother" and is a quasi-affectionate term for people within a tight social circle. However, the term is also used by yakuza-types to respectfully refer to their bosses.</ref> while speaking with Gin rather than just simply using his codename. Gin in turn values Vodka for his obedience. 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>

=== Tequila ===
Vodka and [[Tequila]] are approximately equally ranked, though despite being equals, Tequila is very impatient and easily frustrated with Vodka during their phone call in The Game Company Murder Case. Unlike Vodka, Tequila doesn't use honorifics when referring to Gin, showing that Vodka likely has more respect for Gin given their frequent partnership. Both are Gin's subordinates.<ref name=CD239/>

=== Sherry ===
Vodka is acquainted with [[Shiho Miyano]], and is just as willing to kill or harm her as Gin, as shown in Reunion with the Black Organization, though likely would leave any finishing blows for Gin to execute. <ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
Throughout the series, Vodka has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vermouth]], unlike other members of the organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.

=== Chianti ===
During the [[Episode 1079|The Black Organization's Scheme]], he and Chianti hunt down FBI Agent Andre Camel, and Chianti asks him about what Rum looks like, and Vodka relays the info he knows from Gin regarding Rum. The two seem to have a mutual respect for each other despite their limited interactions together. Just like Tequila, Chianti and Vodka are both subordinates of Gin.

=== Korn ===
Korn and Vodka don't interact much, but likely respect each other, and seem to get along fairly well, and both are Gin's subordinates.

== 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. Vodka placed 25th in the poll with 10 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Vodka is the name of a type of wine made by the distillation of converted substances such as grains, potatoes, or sometimes fruits or sugar.

Vodka's English dub name, Kaspar, is the name of one of the three Magi in Christian tradition. In accordance with that theme, Gin's English name, Melchior, is also the name of one of the Magi.

== Character inspiration ==
Vodka is modeled after a bad guy who was in the movie ''[[Wikipedia: Diva (1981 film)|Diva]]'', a guy with good body build.<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Vodka was the first Black Organization member to appear and speak. In the first episode of the anime, he rushed towards the roller coaster yelling, "Move it! Move it! We were here first!". His bulky body blocked Gin from view for a few seconds, who was walking right behind Vodka. Gin remained silent as they boarded the roller coaster and only uttered his first words after the murder took place.
* Vodka has never been seen taking off his hat or sunglasses. His eyes were shown only during episode 345.

==== Part 1 ====
Two TV producers, Shogo Somei and Maiko Kazumi, ask Kogoro to star on his own show. Kogoro agrees and they plan a meeting for the following day. The next day, Somei picks Kogoro, Ran, and Conan up to meet with his manager, Raisaku Nakame, to discuss the show. When they arrive to Nakame's apartment on the twentieth floor, Somei reveals that Nakame had been talking about killing himself lately, prompting the idea Nakame has committed suicide. They call the apartment manager who opens the door and cuts the door chain allowing them access to the room. They find Nakame who had died because of poison in his coffee.

The police suspect the possibility of murder with the hypothesis that the culprit offered Nakame poisoned coffee before leaving and told Nakame to lock his door with a door chain. Conan investigates the coffee stains and realizes the culprit was with Nakame before he died. This means the culprit somehow placed the door chain back on the door before leaving. The police suspect Somei to be the culprit and that he had tampered the scene to hide how the murder was done.

==== Part 2 ====
Conan's investigation reveals that Somei tampered with the evidence to suggest Nakame was alone during his time of death. Conan reveals that there were originally two plates, two cups of coffee, and two pieces of cake. Somei took the piece of cake and placed it with the other piece to make it seem as if they were one piece. He then poured coffee from one of the cups into a plant and pretended the cup was a container for pens. For the other plate, he placed it under the spilled coffee cup to act as a saucer.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Somei confesses to the murder. Conan at the same time tranquilizes Kogoro to reveal that Somei is innocent. He reveals that a store employee heard Somei talking to '''Maiko Kuzumi''' at the time of the murder before calling Kogoro for the meeting; However, the meeting has been cancelled the day before. This suggests that Kogoro was used so Somei would be able to enter Nakame's apartment and tamper with the evidence. Conan reveals the only motive for Somei's actions was to cast suspicion on himself so Maiko's name would not be tarnished with murder. Conan deduces that the phone call from Maiko was so she could confess her love to him before she committed suicide by jumping off the twenty story building. As evidence, Conan reveals that Somei, who was late to the meeting, must have hid Maiko's body in the trunk of his car. Conan reveals that Maiko murdered Nakame because he was harassing and overworking Somei and seeing him tired motivated her to murder.

At the end of the episode, Ran wanting to eat some cake looks inside a box and finds what appears to be a single slice of cake. She asks Kogorō what happened to the second slice, but he claims that there is two slices, but Conan and Ran quickly realize that Kogorō had already eaten one of the cakes and cut the last slice in half and make it look like there was two slices. But Conan says he doesn’t want to eat the cake after all and Ran agrees as well, as this reminds them of the heartbreaking case. </spoiler>

{{nihongo|'''Kogoro Mouri'''|毛利小五郎|Mōri Kogorō}}, known as '''Richard Moore'''{{note|group="N"|Known as Kogoro Mouri in the Bang Zoom! and Macias Group dubs.}} in the [[FUNimation]] dub, is a main protagonist of the Detective Conan [[manga]] and [[anime]]. He is a private detective and [[Ran Mouri]]'s father. Once a former police detective in the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], he retired a few years prior to the [[timeline]] to become a full-time private investigator, opening [[Mouri Detective Agency]] in [[Beika (Town)|Beika Town]], which doubles as the [[Mouri family]]'s home. He currently raises his daughter as a single father, after becoming estranged{{note|group="N"|The couple is [[wikipedia:Marital separation|separated]] but not divorced.}} from his wife [[Eri Kisaki]], a first-class lawyer. While struggling to maintain his agency successful, he reluctantly takes in a shrunken [[Shinichi Kudo]], who presents himself as [[Conan Edogawa]], after Ran's insistence. Conan's presence in the household would however prove useful, as Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] to solve many cases using Kogoro's voice. He thus becomes famous as the "sleeping Kogoro" and is regularly relied upon by the police whenever there is a case they cannot crack. While Kogoro is a skillful martial artist and marksman, he is, on the other hand, a heavy smoker and a drunkard, and is known for flirting with other women while still being married. His lazy character makes many doubt his actual investigative abilities, but when his close relatives are the ones at stake, he can manage to solve tough cases by himself.

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Young Kogoro in school.]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as his daughter [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]] (his future wife), [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and through kindergarten to middle school attended the same schools as the actress Ruri Ujo and Eri.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

Sometime after graduating, Kogoro became a police officer, working in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Division One with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], but while an excellent marksman he was not a particularly good investigator. According to [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] in [[Movie 2]], however, the duo were famous for the way they apprehended criminals. He also worked for some time under [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division. While Movie 2 strongly suggests that Kogoro left the police force because of the incident where he gave his wife, [[Eri Kisaki]], a bullet graze on the leg to save her from a hostage situation, his reasons for leaving the force have not been confirmed in the manga. <ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> Around the time Kogoro left the police force, Eri also moved out, though they have never officially divorced despite ten years have passed.<ref name="m2" /> Their daughter, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], keeps trying to get them back together, but she has yet to succeed. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still has feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet,<ref>[[Volume 17]]</ref> though she still has feelings for him as well. These are expressed mainly through jealousy when Kogoro's attention is caught by other attractive women in the vicinity, which occurs regularly.

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouthpiece by drawing Kogoro's attention to important clues he has uncovered.

In the Japanese version, due to his name Kogoro Mouri, he is often mistaken for the famous astronaut [[Wikipedia: Mamoru Mohri|Mamoru Mohri]] when he introduces himself, because they both are in the news frequently, of Japanese descent, and have the same last name. In the English version, when Kogoro introduces himself he is often mistaken for a famous astronaut as well, possibly [[Wikipedia: Patrick Moore|Patrick Moore]].

In the US version, Kogoro Mouri says that he is forty-three, as opposed to being thirty-eight in the Japanese version. It is unknown if Eri's age remains the same since they attended school together. If not, if it will affect the ''Princess Pageant'' storyline that occurred twenty years ago, making her in her twenties when she participated instead of a teenager.

Kogoro has several medical issues common amongst middle aged men: high uric acid and high cholesterol.<ref>File 975</ref>

== Personality ==
[[File:Kogoro's personality.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro in the morning.]]
[[Image:Kogoro and Yoko Okino.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro showboating in front of [[Yoko Okino]].]]
[[File:701 5.png|thumb|200px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]
Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his clients. In cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor change and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

While not perverted or a womanizer, Kogoro easily becomes infatuated with beautiful women, always trying to impress them. His favorite celebrity is pop idol [[Yoko Okino]], and he never misses (or tries not to miss) her television shows.<ref>[[Volume 3#File 025 - The Dream That Will Not Come True|Volume 3, File 25: "The Dream That Will Not Come True"]]</ref><ref>Such behaviors can be seen consistently from [[Volume 1#File 006 - From Third-Rate to Great Detective|Volume 1, File 6: From Third-Rate to Great Detective]] to [[Volume 52#File 541 - Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Volume 52, File 541: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]].</ref> He also keeps a large collection of Yoko related goods and his office and bedroom have Yoko posters. Because of his flirtatious behavior around attractive women, he often embarrasses Ran, and while it is not stated as the reason why Eri left him, it is one of the primary reasons why she hasn't come back.

While never outright called an alcoholic, Kogoro tends to get intoxicated and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi/Conan]] often makes sarcastic remarks about him spending money on alcohol. In the anime, particularly in early episodes, his office is littered with empty beer cans,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> and he keeps a well-stocked liquor shelf. Kogoro is also a heavy smoker and is usually seen with a cigarette in his mouth. Other hobbies include betting on horse races, playing mahjong (which he tends to lose) and playing or watching baseball (he even plays in his neighborhood's team).

However he does, once in a while, show interest in things, he claims not to like, like asking what happened to three cats, that the Detective Boys found while searching for a missing girl, and pointing out that it was cruel for a victim to point at Genta and call him a criminal, despite that Genta, didn't do anything. Kogoro suffers from mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is,(though, it is more like this is only part of anime, not manga, in 40 volume interview Gosho said he doesn't know about it, he also in the manga doesn't have this problem),(for more detail see trivia, below).

Although he can drive, and even after he became famous, he simply uses rental cars anytime that he requires a vehicle, even though he is a Detective and father to a teenager. Not counting, when they took in Conan.

Ran and Conan seem to show more mobility, even though Ran does not drive, whereas Conan does go around town and [[Turbo Engine Skateboard|skateboard]] a lot and esp. in movies.

Kogoro loves money very much, as long as he is paid 1 million yen or more than that he does what the person wants him to do, but not every work. As stated in an anime original episode, he doesn't "sells himself to the devil".

Despite his arrogant personality, Kogoro has a strong sense of justice and care for human life like when one of his friends murdered another friend he told Kogoro "You don't understand anything", which Kogoro replied as "Yes, I don't, no matter what, I can't understand the reason for killing someone and I don't want to understand". He also stopped criminals from committing suicide or murdering someone.

He also has respect for his former superiours like for Megure whom he calls Inspector Megure-dono or Inspector-dono which puts respect. Also, Kogoro uses "Watashi" for saying I when talking to Megure instead of "ore", which "Watashi" puts respect and is formal while "ore" is informal and disrespectful. Another one is for Inspector Yuminaga, despite calling him fiery old fossil when a case was solved he saluted toward him for respect. He also puts respect toward Goro Otaki, head inspector of Osaka police, and toward high ranking officers at police for example for his former chief Kiyonaga Matsumoto, Superintendent General Hakuba or Director General of Osaka Heizo Hattori addressing all of them with dono.

He also doesn't like people who call him 'small mustache'.

In an anime original of episode 67, it was explained he inherited his shamelessness and flirtatious traits from his master Shiota Heihachiro which was a legendary great detective.

== Appearance ==
Kogoro is a fairly tall and fit man (especially for the amount of beer he drinks) and is reasonably good-looking. He has high cheekbones, a short mustache, and short black hair. His hair is constantly slicked back with two loose locks hanging across his forehead. Ten years ago, when Kogoro was still on the police force, he was cleanly shaven.<ref>Manga Volume 55, File 7, page 6: "Dawn"</ref> While on cases Kogoro usually wears a muted blue or grey suit and necktie, and just a collared shirt when being more casual. If he has been drinking heavily, he often ties his necktie around his forehead like a bandana. He seems to be reasonably fit, as he is capable of doing an [[#Judo|Ippon seoi-nage]]. Kogoro is right-handed.<ref>Manga Volume 51, File 8, page 3: "Goroo is Goro?!" Kogoro writing with his right hand</ref> Kogoro also smokes, although throughout Detective Conan's run he has gradually been depicted smoking less often.

== Abilities ==
=== Detective skills ===
:''See also: [[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]'' 
Kogoro is often depicted as a fairly incompetent detective (stemming from his lazy or overzealous nature), often missing clues and jumping to the wrong conclusions, though several of these conclusions are shared by other people on the scene. However, Kogoro does follow the proper police procedures, asks questions, and (with a little help from Conan) follows leads quite well. Despite his ineptness, he had been a police officer under [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and in also the arson department ten years before the start of the series<ref name="m2" /> He is shown to have left the police force after events addressed in the second movie, ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]''.<ref name="m2" />[[File:Kogoro is stunned.PNG|thumb|right|Kogoro's characteristic strange expression when Conan uses the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]]]]

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquillizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorō}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorō}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

In several stories, Kogoro demonstrates the ability to solve crimes without (or with little) help from Conan, especially when people he knows or cares about are involved; it appears that, while he can connect the dots just fine, he can't find them as quickly as Conan does. The first of these events takes place during a trip to a hot spring, where one of his old college friends is murdered. Kogoro is so disturbed and determined to find the killer on his own that Conan cannot bring himself to drug him, limiting himself to surreptitiously drawing attention to the necessary clues.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 084 - Kogoro's Class Reunion|Volume 9, Files 84-86: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> Despite his frequent moronic analyses, Kogoro is pretty smart when he applies himself. He is even able to completely solve a crime on his own in the ninth movie, ''[[Strategy Above the Depths]]'', since the culprit Minako resembles Eri, and Conan applauds him mentally for his success. (For a more detailed list of the cases he has—more or less—solved on his own, see '''''[[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]''''').

=== Judo ===
Kogoro is an expert in judo. He was on the judo team while he was at Beika University. Although he was the strongest on the team and can still toss large men with ease, he lost all the time at tournaments because he got excited and his strength was used against him. He is proficient in a variety of throws, counters, and submissions, yet his trademark manoeuvre is the [http://www.judoinfo.com/images/animations/blue/ipponseoi.htm Ippon seoi-nage] (one-arm shoulder throw), which he often uses to incapacitate escaping suspects. He is also a rather capable teacher in the art, having taught both Eri and Ran to gain similar proficiency.

=== Shooting ===
In volume 11, chapter 2, and its anime adaptation (episode 31), Kogoro says that even though he is a former policeman he is not very skilled at using guns, while in the non-[[canon]] [[Movie 2]], Kogoro was an excellent shot with a handgun, being able to hit targets at great distance with an impressive level of accuracy. However, Aoyama stated in the Super Digest Book 40+ that Kogoro's excellent shooting skills shown in movie 2 were now officially canon.
{{clearleft}}

== Appellations ==
Kogoro earned the nickname {{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorō}} because of his trademark technique of solving cases while looking like he is asleep. Many characters unfamiliar with him call him by this nickname when they realize who he is.

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|2-5]], Anime: [[Episode 2|2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so, however, as they are on a highway.

When the three arrive at the Tani household, Kogoro questions some of the household members about the details of the kidnapping. However, Conan’s continuous interference gets on his nerves, even to the point that he wants to “kill” the boy after solving the case.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 3, Page 10]]. However, it was most likely just an exaggerated type of expression rather than his true desire of killing Conan.</ref> Later, with help from Conan’s hints, Kogoro can conclude that the house butler is behind the kidnapping. However, Akiko Tani has already been abducted in truth by someone else. After the case is over, it is revealed that the first kidnapping was just a set-up by the girl with the help from the butler, while the second one was by mere chance. Kogoro then laughs in satisfaction and takes all the credits for himself while Conan is the one to release the dog and locate Akiko. In the end, Kogoro finally accepts Conan and adopts him, feeling that with the boy around, “he will solve the cases smoothly as silk”.<ref>[[Volume 1| Volume 1, File 5, Page 16]]</ref> With this statement, Kogoro is, ironically, correct.

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|6-9]], Anime: [[Episode 3|3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

Busying enjoying one of [[Yoko Okino]]’s shows, Kogoro tells a new client to come back the next day. However, after discovering that his client is none other than Yoko herself, he rushes to his room and cleans up into an impeccable suit. Yoko explains she is being stalked and agreed to investigate her apartment secretly (after asking for her personal information and an autograph). However, to everyone's shock, when they arrive at the apartment there is a dead body inside. Kogoro orders them to call the Police and is furious when Yoko’s manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, tries to dissuade him to protect Yoko from the media. When Inspector [[Megure]] arrives, he gets depressed about his old subordinate’s appearance, thinking of him as the one who always makes situation turns into a “nightmare”.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 7, Page 5]]</ref>

Conan's investigations once again annoy Kogoro while Kogoro tries to defend Yoko despite the apparent evidence that she committed the murder. He repeatedly accuses Eiichi of being the murderer, as he has a copied key, though there's no proof of either person's guilt or innocence. He switches suspicions to fellow idol Yuko Ikezawa after Yuko's earring is discovered in the apartment. When Yuko is trapped into admitting she was the "stalker" but still denies being the murderer, he switches back to accusing Eiichi. Realizing Kogoro’s mistake, Conan kicks an ash-tray at his head, knocking him unconscious. He uses the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] that [[Agasa]] has given to him earlier to imitate Kogoro’s voice, and points out that the case is a suicide. Kogoro wakes up after the case is solved when the cigarette in his hand starts to burn his fingers. From then on, Conan has used Kogoro as a puppet mouthpiece for solving cases, with the secondary purpose of turning the man into a famous detective.

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|10-12]], Anime: [[Episode 38|38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way to make people see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the previous cases. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

=== Masami Hirota Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|13-16]], Anime: [[Episode 128|128]])===
This is Kogoro's first direct encounter with a member from the [[Black Organization]], though he is unaware of it at the time.

=== Museum Owner Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 4|30-32]], Anime: [[Episode 8|8]]) ===
This case marks Kogoro Mouri's first fame as a private detective.

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

With this piece of evidence and some further discoveries, Kogoro and the police accuse Kubota of being the culprit. However, Conan is suspicious of the simplicity and Manaka's behavior on the video while writing the note. Conan realizes that Kubota was framed by someone with a great love of art who could order Kubota into doing a job alone: the museum curator, Ochiai. Ochiai prepared the note beforehand and gave Manaka a pen without ink. Conan tricks Ochiai into revealing that he switched the pen found with Manaka with the one in his pocket, and Ochiai confesses to the crime. At the end of the case, Kogoro is shown reading a newspaper article that features him. He is proud of himself for "solving" the murder case, and is happy that he has become an "instant celebrity".

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|84-86]], Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|200px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role of investigating her death before the police arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just, as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn marks around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then concludes that his friend was murdered.

Suspecting that Jun Omura is hiding something, Kogoro interrogates him and learns that he saw Yumi after 5 PM when she was supposed to have died. Even though on the outside, Kogoro keeps saying that the killer was some intruder, deep inside he knows for sure that the culprit must have been among his best friends since outsiders wouldn't bother faking the crime scene. When being questioned by Conan, Kogoro angrily punches at a house-stake, yelling that he will not forgive the culprit, and determines to "expose them with no question, no matter what".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 85]]. In the anime version, he punched the wall.</ref>

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's help, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who the real demon is. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

The case ends with Kogoro staring sadly out of the window because of his friend's story, but his "spirit" immediately revives after seeing a girl's pink underwear.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 18]]</ref>


=== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11|102-104]], Anime: [[Episode 31|31]]) ===
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]] for the second time in this case.

Kogoro is invited to attend a live television show as a guest star. However, a murder occurs at the studio. After finding out all the evidence, Conan lures Kogoro to a separate room with the lie that [[Yoko Okino]] is in there. Just, as usual, he decides to tranquillize Kogoro and use the man to solve the case. When Kogoro wakes up, he begins to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He is also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tries to pull him outside, he always falls asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabs the boy's suit jacket and wants to "clear things up". Luckily for Conan, Yoko Okino appears for real and Kogoro completely loses his suspicions.

=== Game Convention Case (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Episode 54|54]])===
Kogoro's fame has reached the point that a video game was developed with him as the main character. Though Conan encounters someone from the [[Black Organization]], Kogoro is only involved with investigating the man's death.



=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|163-165]], Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped flirting with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|200px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having a good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still hasn’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

=== Murderer Kogoro Mouri Case (Manga: [[Volume 27|264-266]], Anime: [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|199-200]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro at the bar.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro is drunken at the bar.]]
Kogoro encounters his wife Eri once again at a vacation spot, where he eventually becomes the prime suspect in the murder of her colleague and rival, Ritsuko Usui.

The events take place when Kogoro, along with Ran and Conan, unexpectedly finds Eri shopping with a fellow lawyer, Norifumi Saku. He suspects that his wife is going out with Saku, not knowing that she's trying to pick a present for himself as the next day will be their wedding anniversary. They agree to have a drink together with Eri's other acquainted lawyers, but the detective's old bad habits while drunk once again enrage her.

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

Much to everyone's surprise, Eri refuses to defend her husband in court, while openly declaring her accusation of Kogoro. However, her real intention is to remain at the crime scene to find a way to prove his innocence, but Kogoro misunderstands this and angrily walks away after replying with some sarcastic comments.

Eri, with Conan's help, eventually manages to unmask the true murderer and clear Kogoro's name. The next day morning, after learning of his wife's deeds, Kogoro walks to where Eri is sitting and apologizes to her. He also sincerely asks her to come back with him, only to find out that she's just listening to Ran's MD without actually hearing anything that he said. Kogoro gets angry at Eri again as she leaves, not knowing that she has recorded all of his nice words into the disk.

Later on, Ran manages to win them a family trip to Shizuoka with Kogoro's lottery ticket and invites Eri to a birthday dinner with Kogoro, Ran and Conan.

The dinner doesn't go as well as planned. Kogoro behaves in his usual casual manner, acting indifferent to Eri's presence and seemingly having no intention of giving Eri the necklace. Later that night, a murder occurs in Eri's hotel room. Kogoro immediately devotes himself to solving the case and after receiving hints from Conan, and with both Conan and Eri's help with his deduction, uncovers the murderer's identity.

After the case is closed, Kogoro steps up to give Eri the present. It turns out that Kogoro had remembered Eri's birthday as Sports Day (taiiku no hi) and the recent date change of Sports Day had made his birthday present one day late. While he was flustered and frustrated by his mistake, Eri decides that she still wants it because she could tell that Kogoro deeply cares for her. However, she opens the package and finds out that Kogoro had, due to his carelessness, given her a Buddhist rosary (nenju) that he had bought for the owner of Poirot, while Eri's birthday present was lying in his desk drawer all along.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Shooting ===
In the Wild Police Story spinoff, chapter 2, [[Hachizo Onizuka]] says to [[Rei Furuya]] that there is a genius senior who got full points in his first shooting test and hit the bulls-eye with all 20 bullets, states that he quits the force and was running a detective agency in Beika after, with Kogoro appears briefly.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:EP400 2.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro and Eri]]

Eri Kisaki is Kogoro's wife, who has been living separately from him for the last ten years. A primary reason that they have not yet gotten back together is because of Mouri's constant flirting with other women. It is shown that Eri still cares for him, even naming her cat 'Goro', which is taken from Kogoro. She is also annoyed by his frequent alcoholic indulgences. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still appears to have feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet, though she still has feelings for him as well.

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File: EP526 6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Ran.]]
Kogoro has raised his daughter Ran ever since he and Eri separated. She often has to look after her father because of his drinking and gambling habits. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually fail. Kogoro is very protective of Ran and deeply cares for her. There are many times when Kogoro shows concern for his daughter's safety, often getting serious when Ran is in trouble. He is also concerned about Ran's relationship with Shinichi, who he thinks always tries to seduce Ran (movie 'Captured In Her Eyes') and Episode 919, and can get agitated whenever his daughter's honour is threatened. This is evident from Kogoro's angry outburst at Ran's sleepy mumblings about the somewhat offensive words Shinichi had said to her aboard the flight to New York, in the episode 'The Locked Room In The Sky: Shinichi's First Case'. In File 924 when a group of three adults tried to kidnap 4-year-old Ran in kindergarten, and Kogoro had a very furious look on his face when he was about to arrest one of them. In episode 189 he gave her his coat to keep her warm when she slept at Conan side in his hospital room after giving him a blood fusion and told Conan that Ran gave Conan a lot of blood and if Conan doesn’t get better soon he will never forgive him. Kogoro shown to care about Ran File 836, 464 and 839. Kogoro doesn't actively try to wane Ran's love for Shinichi, but he has often advised her to give up on him.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP415 3.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan beaten by Kogoro for interfering in crime scene.]]

Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them, but he mostly leaves it to Ran to take care of the boy. However, on multiple occasions, he has treated Conan nonchalantly, terming him a 'freeloader'. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan. While Kogoro often shows a level of disregard towards his ward and has a habit of hitting Conan for disturbing him during investigations, there are rare moments where it is apparent he has become quite protective of Conan as well and considers him a normal part of the family.

==== Yoko Okino ====
Yoko is Kogoro's idol. He always watches her television appearances and admires her. Yoko sometimes invites Kogoro to host a show or appear in commercials, which helps to spread his fame as a detective.

==== Shinichi Kudo ====
They are both detectives, but due to Shinichi being the better detective, Kogoro is constantly complaining about how he never gets any work because of the 'detective brat' taking all of the cases. He is also against his daughter being with Shinichi so much, likely due to his rocky marriage with his childhood friend.

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rei wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]][[Rei Furuya]] (under the alias Tooru Amuro) became Kogoro's apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case in exchange for a large fee every time Kogoro brought him on a case. Rei tends to act ingratiatingly whenever Kogoro Mouri is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Rei's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Rei flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the [[Black Organization]], Rei doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Rei is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Rei is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Juzo Megure ====
[[File:Kogoro and Megure Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Megure]]
Kogoro used to work with [[Juzo Megure]] when he was still part of the police force. Megure thought that Kogoro was incompetent as a police detective. Their relationship has dramatically improved since Conan began using Kogoro as a mouthpiece for his deductions. Juzo hates that the police have to rely on an outside detective to solve cases, yet he is also very grateful that Kogoro wraps up difficult cases that the police could have mishandled.

Kogoro is familiar with but usually respectful of Megure at all times. Megure, who has a bit of a love-hate relationship with Mouri, tends to be exasperated around Kogoro, especially when Kogoro appears in the middle of a case or while Kogoro is awake and making his usual bad deductions. Megure likes the "Sleeping Kogoro" persona much more. Megure has noted that Kogoro shows up unnaturally frequently at the scenes of murders, leading to him jokingly calling Kogoro a harbinger of bad luck or a "death god".

==== Yamamura Misao ====
[[File:EP546 7.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Yamamura and Kogoro.]]
The [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|first time]] that Yamamura meets Kogoro, he announces that the sleeping detective is the killer without any evidence at all. After sleeping Kogoro solves the case, he becomes a very big fan of him, to the point of fawning over him, acting as if he was Kogoro's biggest fan and often being the only one to approve and follow his more bizarre deductions. He considers that they are partners and that, when on a case together, they have a 100% chance to catch the criminal; however, Kogoro does not approve of the "partner" appellation.

Although Kogoro does not like his detective skills and how Yamamura is incompetent as a police officer, he considers Yamamura a friend on a purely personal level while Yamamura respects Kogoro, especially when both detectives drink together, exchange information and tease each other occasionally.

==== Inspector Yuminaga ====
Kogoro Mouri briefly was the subordinate of [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division. Kogoro's nickname for Yuminaga was "fiery old fossil". Yuminaga noted that Kogoro would always jump to the conclusion that every fire was an arson.

== Name origin ==
The name "Kogoro Mouri" came from two mystery-related sources. "Kogoro" came from "[[Kogoro Akechi]]", the detective created by [[Edogawa Rampo]], while Mouri came from [[Maurice Leblanc|'''Mauri'''ce Leblanc]]. Coincidentally, his drama actor, [[Takanori Jinnai]], has played Kogoro Akechi in many TV movies. The kanji for "Mouri" ({{Lang|ja|毛利}}) comes from daimyo [[wikipedia:Mōri Motonari|Mouri Motonari]].

== Trivia ==
[[File:Lupin 2-05 Kogoro.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro's flashy gold business cards]]
* In [[Private Eye in the Distant Sea]], Kogoro uses ostentatious gold business cards, which later also appear in other movies and the anime series.
* Although Kogoro suffers from acrophobia, he sometimes seems to forget about his fear. For instance, he leans over the railing of a balcony on the 21st floor in episode 69 (Night Baron Murder Case). Furthermore, he feels perfectly comfortable onboard a plane in episode 162 (The locked Room in the Sky, Shinichi Kudo's First Case). In episode 596 (the Alibi of the Fall), he looks out of a window from the 6th floor, but then "remembers" his fear and recoils. The discontinuity is probably because Kogoro's fear was invented for [[Movie 2]] and did not originate in the manga where Kogoro is relatively fine around cliffs and tall buildings.
* Physician confirms that Kogoro would not survive Conan's stun-gun.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-03-04/physician-confirms-that-detective-conan-kogoro-would-not-survive-conan-stun-gun/.143964 Anime New Network]</ref>
*In Sisters' Birthday Party Murder Case and the Policewoman Serial Murder case, it’s revealed that he is involved with the neighbourhood association.
*Kogoro and his family use to live in an apartment before moving to the Mouri Detective Agency.<ref>Ran & Shinichi – First Contact</ref>
*According to Gosho in JUSTICE PLUS Super Digest Book, when Kogoro was Yuminaga-san’s subordinate Kogoro was scolded countless times because he trampled down an arson scene.
*According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book when he first Eri’s homemade dishes he ate Eri’s beef stew he threw up.
* According to Super Digest Book 100+ Kogoro ’s winning ticket in Wakita’s first appearance, was actually planted.

'''{{nihongo|Genta Kojima|小嶋元太|''Kojima Genta''}}''', also known as '''George Kaminski''' in the English dub and manga, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Genta Background Clear.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Genta]]
Genta Kojima is a student in [[Teitan Elementary School]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins his class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Shortly afterwards, he and his classmate [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] decide to investigate an apparently haunted mansion, and they persuade Conan to come along. When their friend and classmate [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] expresses his skepticism about supernatural hauntings, Genta forcefully 'persuades' him to tag along as well. As it turns out, the haunting is a cover-up for an old homicide case.

Soon after, the accidental acquisition of a treasure map leads Ayumi, Genta, Mistuhiko and Conan on a hunt for a cache of stolen Italian gold coins, during which Conan saves them from getting killed by the mafia members who are also after the gold. After the case is resolved, Mitsuhiko joins Genta and Ayumi in forming the nucleus of an amateur detective group, the [[Detective Boys]].<ref>Manga Chapter 39: Code Sheet Case: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref> Genta is quick to pronounce himself the leader of the group, but his lackadaisical leadership abilities are commonly neglected in the field, and in fact everyone (even Genta) unconsciously views Conan as the group's actual leader. Genta's school shoe locker is used as a mailbox for any of their fellow students to present them with a case to solve.

Genta is apparently an only child living with his parents, who run a liquor store called "Kojima Liquors". He also has an uncle who lives in Gifu.<ref name="Uncle">[[Volume 35#File 360 - Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3|Volume 35, File 360 "Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3", page 18]]: "Hey, I'm going to see my uncle in Gifu soon..."</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Genta is the self-proclaimed leader of the Detective Boys. He loves food, especially braised eel on rice, and can eat more than all the other Detective Boys members combined. When discussions of money come up, Genta tends to think about it in terms of how many eel bowls he could buy. He also tends to mess up certain Japanese terms with similar-sounding words (especially if the latter are related to food) and sometimes has trouble reading even the most common Kanji, which on occasion causes some ridicule from his classmates and friends. His brash personality, lack of awareness of his surroundings, and tendency to not think before acting often lands the Detective Boys (or at least himself) in sticky situations.

Even though he is brash, outspoken and can be intimidating, Genta is actually very kind and dependable. He is a good friend of [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and has been shown to greatly admire [[Genji Kojima|his father]], who is considered to be a classic [[wikipedia:Edokko|"Child of Edo"]].

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Ayumi Yoshida ===
[[File:EP418 7.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Genta imagines Ayumi as his wife.]]
Genta clearly has a crush on his teammate [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and as a result he, along with Mitsuhiko, is rather jealous of Conan because she likes him the most. He and Ayumi have been friends since pre-school.

=== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya ===
Genta and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] are generally on very good terms with each other, and are also just as mutually jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi decides to give him her full romantic attention. However, the two do not feel rivalry with each other, likely because Ayumi treats them both only as friends.<ref>Anime episode 418: ''[[Home of Beika's Grenier]]''</ref>

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Genta's relationship with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is multi-faceted. While he generally admires Conan for his intelligence, courage and expertise, in his brashness he frequently attempts to promote himself as the leader of the [[Detective Boys]]. He also tends to become very jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi has set her romantic intents on him.

=== Ai Haibara ===
Genta initially expressed some interest in [[Ai Haibara]], but while his interest has cooled off somewhat because of her adult-like manner, the two generally remain on a good standing with each other. Nevertheless, Genta sees her as one of his friends and does not hesitate to help her when the situation demands it.

'''{{nihongo|Wataru Date|伊達航|Date Wataru}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is also one of the main characters in [[Wild Police Story]] manga.

== Background ==
Wataru Date was an officer from [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]] under the Criminal Investigation First Division. He was later assigned to be the mentor of [[Wataru Takagi]],<ref name=f804>File 804: The Present from Detective Takagi</ref> and together they became known as the "Wataru Brothers."<ref name=f805>File 805: Wataru Brothers</ref> He was dating an English teacher, Natalie Kuruma. Unfortunately, he got caught up in a car accident after one of his stakeouts with Takagi and died one year ago.<ref name=f804/> A year later after his death, it was discovered that Date was an acquaintance of [[Rei Furuya]], whom he had met while attending a police academy.<ref name=f808>File 808: Late Grave Visiting</ref> He also knew Jinpei Matsuda, Hagiwara and Hiromitsu Morofushi from the academy. Before his death, he received a package meant to be passed on to Hiromitsu's older brother Taka'aki, but it was left untouched in his locker for over a year.

His father was a policeman and always had a toothpick in his mouth. One day when his father was off-duty, he and his father enters a store only to find a thug demanding money. His father noticed that the thug had friends and begged the robber to spare them, but the thug hit him numerous times before they got away. In the end, his father quit the police force. Wataru didn't know the truth and thought his father begged for his life for no necessary reason, so he decided to become a police officer. At the police academy, he learned the truth and decided to become like his father. Since then, he started to put a toothpick in his mouth.

He attended police academy with [[Rei Furuya]], [[Jinpei Matsuda]], [[Hiromitsu Morofushi]], and [[Kenji Hagiwara]]. He was the leader of the squad and held second place at the academy. All five friends graduated together.

== Personality ==
Date was considered to be a [http://www.webcitation.org/65aNwvXMu "carnivore"-type] of a man compared to Takagi, by [[Miwako Sato|Sato]]<ref name=f805/>, and could be described as an aggressive person.<ref name=f807>File 807: The Strongest Senior</ref> In addition to these, he was also a kind and caring person as attested by his interactions with Takagi and his text message to Rei.<ref name=f807/><ref name=f808/> He was also very serious in his relationship with Natalie and was planning on proposing to her.

Date was described as very old fashion by Takagi.

==Abilities==
He has great leadership skills as stated in [[Wild Police Story]]. He was also skilled at fighting as he could beat ten people in a row with the use of martial arts at the police academy.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Wataru Takagi ===
Date was [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]]'s mentor and close friend. He passed away in a traffic accident. As the pronunciation of his name was the same as Wataru Takagi's, Date said they were {{nihongo|"Wataru brothers"|ワタル・ブラザーズ|Wataru Burazāzu}}. Just before his death, he entrusted Takagi a ring for [[Natalie Kuruma]], but Takagi never got to give the ring to Natalie, because he was still affected by Date's death and Natalie committed suicide soon after. When Takagi realized that Date's girlfriend was Natalie he took contact with the one, who claimed her personal things to inform them the truth, most likely out of duty to his late friend.

=== Rei Furuya ===
Date and [[Rei Furuya]] were friends in the police academy; Rei was the top-ranked student, while Date held second place. He protected Rei whenever Rei was mistaken as biracial or a foreigner. While Date went on to become an officer, Rei went somewhere else and fell out of contact with Date for unknown reasons. Date's last text to Rei asked him where he was and chided Rei to communicate once in a while. Rei was shown visiting Date's grave, and likely left a toothpick out of respect for Date; Date used them habitually.

=== Natalie Kuruma ===
[[Natalie Kuruma|Natalie]] was his girlfriend. After hearing Date died in a car accident, Natalie committed suicide out of despair. Due to Date's surname could be mistaken for the English word 'Date', since her mother was American, she would call him 'Wataru' when she told her parents about him. Date probably intended to propose to her after they had met each other's parents. A year later, her death was misunderstood as Wataru Date was the cause of her choice to suicide. It resulted in a trap, where Takagi almost got killed by Ryusaku Fuemoto, her ex-English teacher, mistaken as the 'Wataru' Natalie always told about.

=== Jinpei Matsuda ===
[[Jinpei Matsuda]] attended the same police academy as Date. They also graduated together.

=== Kenji Hagiwara ===
[[Kenji Hagiwara]] attended the same police academy as Date. They also graduated together.

=== Hiromitsu Morofushi ===
Date was well acquainted with [[Hiromitsu Morofushi]] since they were good friends along with the three others and attended the academy together.

== Name origin ==
Wataru Date shares his first name with police sergeant [[Wataru Takagi]], which prompted him to make a nickname for the both of them: "Wataru Brothers." However, the kanji that represented his first name was different to that of Takagi's. His name is written with the kanji 航, which has the ON-reading of {{nihongo||コウ|kō}}. Meanwhile, Takagi's is written with the kanji 渉, which has the ON-reading of {{nihongo||ショウ|shō}}.<ref name="f805"/> This similarity in first name became an important factor in the Overnight Deadline case. Date's last name played an important role in the said case as well.<ref name="f806">File 806: The Inherited Shadow of the Dawn</ref>.

Similarly to the other suspects in his introductory case, his first name also comes from transports, as the "航" is similar to {{nihongo|ships|船|funa}}<ref name="A">http://mysteriouscolors.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-18.html</ref>. As the case he appears first in happens in Hokkaido, his last name "Date" is also that of a [[wikipedia:Date, Hokkaido|city with the same name]] in the prefecture.

== Trivia ==
* [[Gosho Aoyama]] revealed in a postcard response to a fan that Wataru Date is not [[Scotch]].<ref>[[:File:Scotch not Date postcard.jpg]]</ref>
* According to Gosho in JUSTICE PLUS Super Digest Book, the reason why Hiromitsu's smartphone ended up being left in Date's locker was because Date had that car accident just as he thought about sending it.

'''{{nihongo|Wataru Takagi|高木渉|Takagi Wataru}}''' is a police sergeant and detective from the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police District]]'s Criminal Investigation First Division and the love interest of [[Miwako Sato]].

== Background ==
Wataru Takagi is a newcomer to the Tokyo Police Criminal Investigations Division 1, having transferred after the bomber case about three years ago but by the time [[Shinichi Kudo]] first established his reputation as a detective, about two years ago.<ref>Manga Chapters 204-207: Shinichi's First Case, and Chapters 366-368: Parade Bomber Case</ref> His mentor was a senior agent called Date, who died one year before the present timeline. In his last moments Date entrusted Takagi his notebook, which had a ring for his girlfriend Natalie Kuruma hidden. He kept Date's notebook as a personal motivation to be just as good as Date. It was first a year later he realized that Date's girlfriend was Natalie, but it was too late to give her the ring, because she committed suicide soon after Date's death. He was [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Category:Anime_to_manga_characters first introduced in an Anime original] case at an on location film set.

Ever since his joining the force, Takagi (like so many of his other colleagues) has harbored romantic feelings for [[Miwako Sato]]. While Sato appeared to have taken a liking to him as well, Takagi was easily discouraged by the way she dealt with other male colleagues, including their superior Inspector Megure (though in that case it was more a daughterly affection to a father figure, since Sato's father had died when she was very young).<ref>Manga Chapter 233: Countdown</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 269: Time's Up</ref> In time, thanks to several severe incidents - and despite the interference of the other officers in the department, chiefly [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] -, their professional relationship grew more personal,<ref>Manga Chapters 267-269: Sato's Father Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 366-368: Parade Bomber Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 369-373: Serial Bomber Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 404-406: Missing Ring Case</ref> and finally Sato and Takagi shared their first kiss after he had been hospitalized in the course of a difficult case<ref>Manga Chapter 673: The Common Pattern</ref> and kissed the second (and third!) time in Episode 683 when he almost died in a bomb accident.<ref>Episode 683: The Life-Threatening Broadcast of Love (entering the scene)</ref>

Takagi is among the investigators who receive the most near fatal experiences. That includes, among many things:
* Handcuffed to the window of a burning warehouse.
* Trapped in a tower containing a countdown bomb.
* Held hostages and shot by the criminal.
* Tied on a plank on a roofless two story building containing a countdown bomb, while the temperature outside is -20 Celsius degree.

Although at some point, Takagi briefly develops PTSD, he nevertheless relentlessly pursues justice, even if it endangers his life.

== Personality ==
While he is initially self-conscious and bumbling, Takagi is a dedicated member of the Tokyo Police Force and shows promise as a good officer as the series progresses. He is one of the few officers who trusts [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s judgments the most, listening to him at case scenes to find important evidence and sometimes even letting Conan take the lead in their investigation (the case with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] handcuffed to the wrong suspect in the bathroom being a good example).<ref>Manga Chapter 232: Finding Evidence</ref>

Takagi has a strong intuition and sense of justice, and is very honorable. He has a strong drive to protect others, partially based in his profession as an officer, and partially based on a self-sacrificing trait in his personality. He is always very polite, even when alarmed, and defers to the judgment of his partner Miwako Sato not only because she is his senior, but because he truly respects her. 

His hobbies are playing the maracas<ref>Manga Chapter 620: The Vanished Blunt Weapon</ref> and following the international wrestling scene, being a fan of wrestlers such as [[Wikipedia: Bruiser Brody|Bruiser Brody]] and [[Wikipedia: Keiji Mutoh|Keiji Mutoh]], and recognizing a move that Ran does as the "Shining Wizard," a finishing move of Mutoh's.<ref>Manga Chapter 388: Wolf's Shadow</ref> In summary, his hobbies involve a lot of martial arts and sports.

== Plot overview ==
=== Actor's Apartment Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|170]]-[[Volume 18|172]], Anime: [[The Historical Actor Murder Case|102-103]]) ===
Takagi makes his debut in the Manga series.

=== Treadmill Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 21|208-210]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|146-147]]) ===
This is the first case to show detective Takagi’s romantic affection for a female police officer, [[Miwako Sato]].

Initially, Takagi is tasked with the mission of recording the [[Detective Boys]]' testimonies regarding the events at the [[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case|Blue Castle]]. Just as they're about to begin, the children notice his untidy clothing and wonder if he doesn't have a girlfriend. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] offers to introduce to him his cousin's granddaughter, but Takagi awkwardly declines, stating that he has already had someone that he likes, right before detective [[Miwako Sato]] enters the room. Takagi keeps blushing, and his unnatural manner in front of Sato makes the Detective Boys think that she is really his girlfriend. However, both of them denies that this is true. Takagi wonders why Sato didn't go to assist [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] in the bank robbery case, and learns that the bank manager, together with his wife, will arrive at the Police Headquarter. Sato asks Takagi whether he has heard anything from her friend Yumi. He silently recalls Yumi's words, about what Sato told her when she was drunk, that the person she likes is someone from the first investigation division, who may very well be Takagi himself.

The bank manager, Keizo Masuo, comes by himself and decides to call his wife. During the phone call, Takagi and the others suddenly hear the wife's scream. He, Sato, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and Keizo rush to Keizo's house and find his wife's dead body. The person to be in charge of this murder case is Inspector [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], a police officer who has just been promoted recently. When Sato sarcastically suggests that Shiratori may as well consider her "a possible wedding match", Takagi misunderstands and begins to suspect that the person whom Sato said she has feelings for is none other than Shiratori. He keeps thinking of unreal scenarios with Shiratori and Sato being together, and isn't able to fully concentrate on the case.

Later, with the help from Conan, the trick and the identity of the killer are uncovered, and the case goes to an end. After turning down the invitation of Shiratori, Sato invites Takagi to go out and have ramen for dinner, to which he accepts happily. Unexpectedly, a drunken Megure comes up and asks them to go for a drink with him at the bar, and Sato immediately approves of the idea despite the invitation to Takagi earlier. Because of this, Takagi suddenly suspects that Sato's love interest is in fact Inspector Megure, and declines the offer.

The case ends with a depressed Takagi lying on the table and being unable to do anything, even though he still hasn't taken the Detective Boys' testimonies yet.

In the anime, episode 477, at 11:50, Takagi is heard speaking numbers in French. In one of the Japanese Audio/English subtitles, his words are translated as "eins, zwei, drei," which is German, but he is actually saying "un, deux, trois." The victim was German, and Agasa says that when the dying victim (who spoke German, English and Japanese) was asked who the culprit was, he answered in his native tongue. Megure then turns to Takagi, who starts counting in French. Agasa then corrects him, saying "That's French," and then proceeds to count from one to eleven in German, solving the case. This exchange does not take place in the manga. This could suggest that Takagi is bilingual in French and Japanese (or at least took French in school).

[[File:Takagi and Sato second kiss.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Takagi and Sato's second kiss.]]
Takagi is kidnapped by a mystery man misunderstanding he is [[Wataru Date]] who made his daughter commit suicide. Around a year after the death of his friend and mentor Date, Takagi discovered that a suicide victim Natalie Kuruma was Date's girlfriend. Since the police investigation assumed that she killed herself due to having been dump, Takagi concluded that Natalie didn't know that Date had passed away in a traffic accident and decided to contact Natalie's next-of-kin to inform them of the truth. Since Natalie's parents had passed away, Takagi contacted the one who claimed her possessions, a colleague from English conversation school and old friend, Ryusaku Fuemoto. But due to that Natalie had never told her family her boyfriend's family name and because Date and Takagi had the same given name, Ryusaku mistook Takagi as the boyfriend who dumped Natalie, and lured him to Hokkaido. Police officers including [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] and [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] find their way to save Takagi with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s help. [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] saves Takagi on time before the bomb under him exploded.

=== Foiled Kidnapping Transaction Case (Manga: [[Volume 106#Foiled Kidnapping Transaction Case|1123-1125]], Anime: TBA) ===

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Prior to manga appearances ===
Takagi was originally introduced as an [[anime]] only character to assist [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] as well as [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] with the solutions to cases. He was inserted into both Manga canon episodes as well as TV originals. He appeared in 23 episodes spanning 20 cases before the [[The Historical Actor Murder Case|anime adaptation]] of his [[Volume 18#Actor.27s Apartment Case|first official Manga appearance]] aired.

=== On Location, TV Drama Murder Case (Anime: [[Episode 21|21]])===
Takagi's first appearance in the [[anime]] series.

=== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11#TV Station Murder Case|102-104]], Anime: [[Episode 31|31]])===
The first Manga canon episode to feature Takagi despite him still being an Anime Original character at the time.

=== [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan]] ===
When [[Lupin III]] arrived in Japan to steal a jewel called the Cherry Sapphire, [[Inspector Zenigata]] of the ICPO asked to use some of Inspector Megure's officers as part of a plan to prevent the theft. After seeing Miwako eagerly volunteer to join Zenigata's team (as Lupin was her first love), Takagi took part in the operation as well. However, at the scene of the planned crime, it was revealed that Takagi was actually Lupin, who had replaced Takagi after stealing his clothing and identity. After the heist, [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Naeko Miike]] discovered the real Takagi stripped, bound and gagged inside a parking garage.

== List of disguises used ==
In one case, [[Parade of Malice and Saint]], he wore a disguise that by remarkable coincidence resembled [[Jinpei Matsuda]], Sato's late partner.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Miwako Sato ===
[[File:Episode 535 - Sato and Takagi kiss.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sato and Takagi.]]
{{main|Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato}}
His affection for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] is a driving force of his character development. While his insecurity and comical outside interference regularly gets in the way, he slowly manages to win her heart through his dedication, honesty and sincerity - traits Sato had also admired in her late colleague [[Jinpei Matsuda]]. Sato finally kisses Takagi after he has been severely wounded while protecting others.

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Takagi has come the closest of any of the Division One members to finding out [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s true identity. [[File: EP391 1.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Takagi.]]

In The Man From Chicago, Episode 258-259, When Conan is telling the police officers present about the Panda colors of the Police Cars, and that the younger generation may not know this information about their black and white cars, Takagi asks himself, "What generation is this kid from?"

In the Tokyo Tower Bomber Case, while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime, [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], as Conan, told Takagi that he would answer Takagi's questions about his real identity "on the other side."

Takagi has also come to acknowledge Conan's sharp mind and intellect, taking Conan's observations seriously and even allowing him to accompany him to question suspects, most notably during the New Scar and the Whistling Man Case where he has the rest of the Detective Boys remain in the car.

He also fully supports Takagi's relationship with Sato, at one point orchestrated a plan to foil Shiratori's attempt of an arranged marriage with Sato. When asked for reasons, he didn't answer, but quietly relate the experience with Ran's relationship.

=== Kazunobu Chiba ===
[[File: EP526 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kazunobu and Takagi.]]
Takagi and [[Kazunobu Chiba]] always work together on murder cases. Chiba is also the only male officer in their department who has had no obsessive crush on Sato, and in fact supported Takagi in his romantic endeavors on several occasions.

=== Wataru Date ===
[[Wataru Date|Date]] was Takagi's mentor and close friend who passed away in a traffic accident. As the pronunciation of his name was the same as Wataru Takagi's, Takagi and Date were nicknamed "the Wataru brothers" (ワタル・ブラザーズ). He is very loyal to his late friend's memory, as demonstrated when he tried to clear out misunderstanding around the death of Date's girlfriend. And he feels guilty in not living up to what he believes was Date's last wish; Giving Natalie a ring hidden in the notebook. He couldn't give her the ring, because Natalie had committed suicide soon after Date's death.

=== Other ===
In the non-canon 16th movie, "The Eleventh Striker," Takagi mentions that he saw a football (soccer) game with his nephew, but does not give a name. This implies that he has at least one sibling.

{{nihongo|'''Yoko Okino'''|沖野ヨーコ|Okino Yōko}}, which is also one of the few characters' name in the Funimation dub, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Yoko Okino attended [[Kohnan High School]] and had a boyfriend, Akiyoshi Fujie. She began pursuing a career as an idol, which lead Akiyoshi to break up with her after being persuaded by her manager, [[Eiichi Yamagishi (character)|Eiichi Yamagishi]], but he never stopped loving her and wanted to get back to her.<ref name=v1f9>Manga volume 1, file 9; anime episode 3.</ref> She, [[Ryusuke Higo]], and Teiya Asuka were taught by the same teacher.<ref>Anime episode 822-823.</ref>

She started her idol career as a member of the quartet "Earth Ladies", along with Kaoru Kusano, Yuki Takeno, and Terumi Hoshino. The team was quite successful, but after some time they disbanded to pursue their own careers. She has remained successful and quite popular in the pop idol and acting business.<ref>Manga volume 32, file 322; anime episode 249.</ref>

In the beginning of her solo career, she became good friend with another idol, Yuko Ikuzawa. However, at a later date, she got chosen to play a role that was supposed to go to Yuko, which sparked some animosity.<ref name=v1f9/>

She first met [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] when she asked for the detective's help in apprehending a stalker who had even penetrated her apartment, and of course Kogoro would not hesitate to take the case. But, in the apartment, they found an unknown man impaled upon a knife, turning this case into a murder investigation. Soon, however, Conan figured out that the victim had actually committed suicide. The man was her old boyfriend, who still cares for him. Sadly, due to a fatal misunderstanding, involving Fujie mistaking Yuko for her, he fell into despair and plunged himself onto a knife, making it appear as if he had been murdered by Yoko in order to take revenge on her. Luckily, Conan found out the truth before damage could be inflicted on her career.<ref name=v1f9/>

Overcoming her grief, she has carried on her career and has remained a friend and valuable contact to Kogoro and Conan in the TV and idol industry ever since. She has also gone on to appear in several movies, such as "Kiss Note" and "Zombie Blade".<ref>In episode 495, she is seen singing on TV the 29th closing song, ''[[Yukidoke no Ano Kawa no Nagare no Yō ni]]''.</ref> She has remained close to her former band members throughout the years.

== Personality ==
She is a modest and friendly person, whose fame hasn't got into her head, and is devoted to her friends and fans: perhaps, one of the reasons she has remained popular to this day.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Kogoro Mouri ===
[[Kogoro Mouri]] is completely infatuated with the young popstar and has all of her appearances in movies and music on tape and DVD, and has even once appeared on her cooking show. She in turn considers him, Ran, and Conan to be good friends. She often suggests Kogoro for participation in her TV shows and commercials, and often invites him, Ran, and Conan to parties and dinners. However, the latter often tend to evolve into murder cases. Before the famous Sleeping Kogoro's appearance, with his great delusion, she was a big fan of [[Shinichi Kudo]].<ref>Drama: live action movie 1.</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Yui Uehara|上原由衣|Uehara Yui}}''', formerly known as '''{{nihongo|Yui Torada|虎田由衣|Torada Yui}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Yui Uehara grew up together in a village somewhere in Nagano prefecture. She was close to [[Kansuke Yamato]] and to the popular village policeman Kuroto Kai. Inspired by him, Yui joined the police force in her early twenties. Soon after that, Officer Kai died under mysterious circumstances, prompting Yui (and Yamato, who was also close to Officer Kai and became a policeman following his example) to investigate the case. They were not able to make much progress during the next five years (presumably), until Yamato heard that a thief that Kai had arrested two years before his death broke out of jail. Yamato, believing that the thief had something to do with his death, went after him personally, but he suffered a deadly accident while on the chase, and subsequently went missing. As Yui believed that Yamato was dead, she thought that she must do more to get to the bottom of Officer Kai's death. As a result, she resigned from the police force and married Yoshiro Torada (changing her surname as a result), a man whose family might have had something to do with Officer Kai’s death. Yui did not really love her husband, although his feelings for her were genuine.

Yui spent the next year at the Torada household, but she was not able to gather sufficient information to find the truth, and the story behind Officer Kai's was revealed only when another string of mysterious murders occurred (with her husband winding up as the first victim) and that case was solved. Yui contributed to solving it, and Yamato (who had survived the accident), [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] also were able to figure everything out.

Soon after the resolution of the string of murders, and with the urging from Yamato, Yui rejoined the police force, and changed her surname back to “Uehara” (she did feel badly for her husband, however). She is now an assistant police inspector working under Yamato at Nagano’s prefectural police headquarters.

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

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

== Plot overview ==
=== Furinkazan Case (Manga: [[Volume 59#Furinkazan Case|613-618]], Anime: [[Furinkazan|516-517]]) ===
* Yui makes her first appearance in this case. Her husband has just died a few days ago, and her surname is still “Torada”.
* When Yamato calls her “Uehara” and orders her to tell him the time (as he needs to know when exactly they discovered the body), Yui does so without thinking twice, and it is only after she answered that both suddenly realize that she is no longer his subordinate. Yamato apologizes, as Yui says that it is ok.
* Yui, knowing that [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] likes Hattori, advises her to not follow her path: Yui waited for too long, and before she was able to confess her feelings he was already gone, resulting in irreversible and immeasurable losses to her.
** Here, Yui is probably regretting over the fact that as she hesitated and did not confess to Yamato in time, he went missing, which (indirectly) drove her to marry Yoshiro Torada, which eventually resulted her current status as a widow.
* Yamato announces that Yui (and six other people, including some from the Torada family) are suspects, and orders them to go home and pray before he makes an arrest. Yui, hearing Yamato’s cold words, says “Kan-chan, you no longer call my name as you did before” with some sorrow on her face.
* Yamato replies that due to the case, instead of treating her as a childhood friend or as a former subordinate, he needs to see her as a suspect and as the widow of a victim.
* Yui is later shown to be looking at a photo taken with Yamato and Officer Kai when they were both still kids. Yui recalls asking Officer Kai to marry her, and remembers that he replies, amused: “Spare me of this, please! Kansuke would loathe me!”
* Yui is able to solve the case and predict that the culprit’s next target is Akira Tatsuo. She thus goes to his household to protect him, but is not anticipating the culprit to bring subordinates. Yamato, Conan and Heiji, who are anticipating this, are able to save her and Akira Tatsuo and defeat the culprit and her men.
* After the case concludes, Yui tells Yamato why she married Yoshiro Torada, adding that she feels sorry for him. Yamato tells that she should rejoin the police force once she feels ready, and jokes that their superintendent misses the coffee that she makes (despite it being terrible).

=== Dangerous Couple Case (Manga: [[Volume 65#Dangerous Couple Case|680-681]], Anime: [[A Dangerous Party of Two|557]]) ===
* Yui and Yamato, on their way to Tokyo, encounters [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] and [[Ai Haibara|Ai]] (with the two latter not knowing that the two former know Conan) stranded in the forest of Yamanashi. They offer them a ride to Tokyo, which Agasa and Ai accept gracefully.
* After getting on the car, Ai senses that something is not right: Yui and Yamato talk suspiciously, there are bloodstains and bullet holes everywhere in the car, and their faces are hidden behind sunglasses. Ai's conclusion is that they might be from the Black Organization; Conan clears up the misunderstanding eventually.
* Yui reveals that she has rejoined Nagano’s police force already and that just a few months into the job, both she and her car are already bruised.
* It is revealed at the end of the case that they are coming to Tokyo to ask Kogoro for help on a difficult case. In order to convince him to go to Nagano to assist them, they have brought him some local snacks.

=== Red Wall Case (Manga: [[Volume 65#Red Wall Case|682-686]], Anime: [[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|558-561]]) ===
* Yui tells Conan secretly that it seems that Yamato went to Tokyo to seek Kogoro's help just for Conan to come along as well. She believes that Yamato has gone to such length to seek help because Morofushi is investigating the case as well, and since they have been rivals since childhood, he does not want to lose to Morofushi under any circumstances.
* Later, Yui seems to realize that the real purpose for Yamato to head to Tokyo is that he wants Conan to assist Morofushi, so that Morofushi can figure out the case more easily (and be promoted and come back to the Nagano Prefectural Police Headquarters).
* Yui expands on the accident that made Yamato lose his left eye: after he went missing for a few days, most people in the police headquarters thought that he was dead. But Morofushi did not give up, and decided to pursue the escaped thief that Yamato had been chasing, although this was going against his superiors' orders.
* In the end, after crossing prefectural borders, Morofushi managed to track down and arrest the thief, who revealed that Yamato had gone missing in an avalanche. But it turns out that Yamato was not dead, as Morofushi was later able to find him in a hospital.
* Yui is ordered by Yamato to follow Morofushi closely as he investigates the case. This ends up saving Morofushi's life when he is struck unconscious by the culprit and the mansion that he is in is set on fire.
* Near the end of the case, in order to fool the culprit and facilitate arresting him, Yui and Yamato are disguised as a couple.

=== Eye for an Eye (Manga: [[Volume 74#Eye for an Eye|783-784]], Anime: [[The Design of Poison and Mirage|653-654]]) ===
* Kazuha, following Heiji's request, calls Yui to ask her about the case that Yamato, Morofushi and she are investigating, as that case has a lot to do with the one that Heiji and Conan has on hand.
* Yui agrees to share information about their case, saying that since they are detectives that have done favours to the police, she will break the rules for them. Later, Heiji is able to get crucial information from Yamato.

=== The Red Woman (Manga: [[Volume 83#The Red Woman|873-875]], Anime: [[The Tragedy of the Red Woman|754-756]]) ===
* As both Yamato and Morofushi are occupied, she comes to the investigate the murder case without them. She is not able to make much progress on the case, and the truth is finally revealed by [[Sera Masumi|Sera]], Conan, Yamato and Morofushi.

=== Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Kawanakajima Murder Case|913]]-[[volume 87#Kawanakajima Murder Case|917]], Anime: [[The Darkness of the Prefectural Police|810-812]]) ===
* Since Yui cannot figure out the truth behind the case, she is misled to believe that Yamato is in grave danger and that his feud with Morofushi is real.
* After the case is solved, Yui is relieved, but thinks that Yamato could have told her about their plans to mislead the culprit beforehand to not make her worry.
* Yamato thinks that she is talking way to much and shouts at her to make her shut up, which prompts her to say bitterly that she will not be so concerned with him anymore, as he does not want attention from a widow anyways.
* In a rare act, Yamato smiles and replies warmly that the huge scar on his face puts him in a similar situation. Yui blushes after hearing this.

=== Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===
* Yui appears at the end with Yamato and Morofushi to investigate the crime scene.

=== Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Nagano-Gunma Prefectural Border Murder Case|1082-1084]], Anime: [[The Body on the Gunma-Nagano Border|1123-1124]]) ===
* At the end of the case, the protagonists are at the hut that [[Yamamura Misao|Yamamura]] and [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Hiromitsu]] built together when they were kids. Yamamura discovers that Hiromitsu left him a message, and Yui is curious about it and wants to know what it says. Knowing that Morofushi and Yamamura are trying having a discussion about the message and want some privacy, Yamato changes topic to distract Yui.

=== Middle-Aged Detective League Case (Manga: [[Volume 107#Middle-Aged Detective League Case|1137-1140]], Anime: TBA) ===

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== The Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ===
=== One-eyed Flashback (Movie: [[One-eyed Flashback|28]]) ===
She is informed by Conan about the plan that involved Yamato faking his death as the boy seems not want to see her sad just because of a fake death.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Yoshiro Torada ===
Yoshiro had been Yui's husband before he died in a tornado. She married him in order to investigate his family's connections to the death of Kuroto Kai, a police officer that she admired. He loved her, and while this was not reciprocated, Yui does seem to feel bad about her motives for marrying him and his death.

=== Kansuke Yamato ===
Kansuke Yamato cares very deeply for his subordinate and childhood friend Yui, although, superficially, this does not seem to be the case at all, due to Yamato's short-tempered and serious personality. Yui cares for him in return and seems to have feeling for him, always affectionately referring to him as "Kan-chan" (he always scolds her for doing so while on duty). In the LOVE PLUS Super Digest Book, it reveals that Yui likes inspector Yamato for his passion and kindness.

== Name origin ==
The two kanjis for the name "Yui" (由衣) is derived from {{nihongo|Princess Yu|由布姫|Yū-hime}} and {{nihongo|Princess Koi|湖衣姫|Koi-hime}}, the two names used in novels for the daughter of [[Wikipedia: Suwa Yorishige|Suwa Yorishige]], head of the Suwa clan. Her last name, Uehara, comes from Uehara castle, the main stronghold of the Suwa clan.

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

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

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

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

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

She is closed friends with Keiko Kurachi<ref>Crimson School Trip Case</ref> and childhood friends with Hiromi Yabuuchi.<ref>Suspicious Uncle Case</ref>

== Personality ==
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl"). She is also likes to stay trendy and dresses more youthfully.
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> Even though she is retired, she takes pride in being an successful actress, to which, she is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her reputation.<ref>Episode 896</ref>{{clearleft}}

== Appearance ==
Yukiko is a fairly tall and fair-skinned woman. She has bright-blue eyes long wavy light-brown hair that curls at the ends with shorter bangs that part to the left to frame her forehead. She is slender yet curvaceous and well-endowed in built, she is considered very beautiful and admired by most men. She has been well-known for her stunning beauty since high school, where she was only ever rivaled by in looks by Eri Mouri. A woman who doesn't accept aging gracefully, she will commonly dressed in attire more commonly seen by women in their twenties.

==Abilities==
=== Intelligence ===
While not nearly on the same level as her husband or son, Yukiko has commonly shown herself to be a very insightful and methodical person, able to notice details that most would miss. She is also likewise very knowledge about the distinct differences of various cultures, including how things are referred to and how their gestures work. A very composed and creative person, she excels in making up lies on the spot with well-thought out backstories, able to constantly adapt to situations to continue the deception and likewise remember her deceptions for later usage. Very persuasive, she as a talent for reading a person's nature and adapting her nature to make them more compliment.

[[Image:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sharon Vineyard with Yukiko while under Toichi's tutelage]]
Yukiko is an exceptional actress, having earned world-wide fame and various prestigious awards when only a teenager. Showing her talent since high school, Yukiko has an uncanny ability to perfectly adapt herself to whatever character she chooses. She can effortlessly change her mannerisms and speech-patterns, as well as accent and dialect, to suit the situation. Expanding upon this and learning from [[Toichi Kuroba]], she became a master of disguise. Much like her former friend, Vermouth, with only minimum preparation required, she can perfectly change her appearance or that of others to perfectly look like virtually anyone. Her performance is able to easily fool even close friends and family. Unlike Vermouth though her skill in disguise is limited vocally, as she is unable to mimic male voices. As such, she normally takes on female personas if not of non-existent people.

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

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

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

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

In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference. After leaving Kogoro Eri hasn’t seen her friend Yukiko for 10 years up until the Eri vs. Yukiko Murder Case and after the case they went out to eat but it’s unknown if they kept in contact with each other now.

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

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Yukiko helped [[Shuichi Akai]] go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. While faithful to and in love with her husband, she has openly commented on finding Shuichi very handsome, to which she likes visiting him every week.

====Hiroshi Agasa====
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In the past few years, the Kudo Family grew closer with their neighbor, Professor Hiroshi, who is making fancy gadgets and inventions.
After Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko entrusted him the task of looking after her son for the meantime while they work overseas.

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
One of Yukiko Kudo's Friend. In High School, Yukiko and her childhood friend Eri Kisaki were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" Pageant where the winner gets determined by the number of their votes. However, due to the carelessness of Kogoro, he had forgotten to vote thus tying the two contestants. It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, Kogoro thought that the "Miss" meant "Mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to Eri's anger later on.
When Ran questioned his father about the individual he would vote for, Kogoro, despite knowing the true nature of the pageant, still voted for Yukiko and complimented her as "pretty", making Eri and Ran upset and angry.

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]], as her alias Sharon Vineyard and Yukiko had a friendly relationship from the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both knew about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current timeline. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization. Vermouth once left Yukiko safe and sound during their confrontation in the Bell Tree Express, implying her soft spot for Shinichi and Yukiko.

== Trivia ==
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.
* [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Yukiko's voice actress]] also starred a role as wife alongside [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Hideyuki Tanaka]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Kyoko Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.

}}

==== Evidence ====
* There is a working secret entrance that allows entry or exit onto the grounds without being seen by anyone else.
* The house still has running water.
* A window had been left open, with no signs of wind or rain wear.
* The house shows no overt signs of life, but the kids smell something cooking.

==== Conclusion ====
* The house is not abandoned, but rather hides the dead mansion owner's wife and son, Akio.
* '''Akio''' killed his father with a single blow to the head. Unlike many other suspects, Akio had actually intended to turn himself in as soon as he could, but his mother decided to protect him. Her "protection", however, meant locking Akio in the basement until the statute of limitations for the murder expired and he couldn't be prosecuted. He tried to convince his mother otherwise but she was so desperate to not lose her son and apparently her only living relative, that she wouldn't listen to his pleas. Eventually, as she loses it and attempts to kill the children for snooping in the now abandoned home, Akio manages to stop his mother and insists that he should atone for his crime. With Conan's help, this time he is successful, and both mother and son turn themselves in together.

==== Motive ====
* Five years ago, on a spring night, Akio killed his father in the heat of an argument over how he had flunked an important university exam, for the third time. Akio impulsively grabbed a bronze candle holder and hit his father on the head with it. He did not intend to murder him, however, and was emotionally broken when he realized what he had done.

==== Aftermath ====
Later in the morning, Genta and Mitsuhiko are found in the courtyard sleeping due to them being drugged by the mother. The four Detective Boys then receive a long scolding from their parents (and Ran) at the police station for sneaking out after dark. Sometimes after, Ayumi informs the group that she has found a new haunted house full of books that once belonged to the boy of the '''Eto''' family to investigate, much to the shock of Conan as it's his own house due to the fact Ayumi has misread the kanji "Ku" 工 in '''Kudo''' (工藤) as katakana "E" エ as in '''Eto''' (エ藤).</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
* The manga version of the story marks the debut of Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, Ayumi Yoshida, and Genta Kojima. In the anime, they appear in the first episode.

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===
* In the English Dub, Genta brags about his intention to beat the ghost with the other Detective Boys teasing him about it, whereas in the Japanese Version the Detective Boys liken themselves as characters in an RPG game.
* Akio's name in the English Dub is Abraham.

== Trivia ==
* At the end of the episode, Mitsuhiko says that they are going to investigate Shinichi's house which he says "is the last house on the left". This could be an allusion to the 1972 horror film of the same name.

'''{{nihongo|Yumi Miyamoto|宮本由美|Miyamoto Yumi}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Yumi is a traffic cop who mostly focuses on traffic accidents and hit-and-runs. She often runs into the [[Detective Boys]] and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] when they are in the middle of solving a case, and has helped them numerous times in solving cases and catching criminals.

Yumi's best friend is [[Miwako Sato]], whom she often teased about her feelings for [[Wataru Takagi]]. She often went to the both of them and gave them both advice on how to tell each other how they felt, which was sometimes successful; but other times, the plans failed due to Takagi and Sato's shyness around each other. With Takagi and Sato finally having confessed their feelings to each other, and with their greatest competitor, [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]], having found [[Sumiko Kobayashi|his match]] as well, she was left at a loss at whom to tease.

During her college days, she met [[Shukichi Haneda]] on a train and they began dating. Yumi decided to break up as she would become a police officer and, in response, he gave her an envelope, telling her to open it only after he had "collected all seven" without further explanation. Since he did not contact her afterwards, she got tired of waiting and considered them broken up. However, their relationship was rekindled when Shukichi - with assistance from the [[Detective Boys]] - rescued her from a kidnapper.<ref>[[Volume 85#Shogi Tournament|Manga Volume 85, Files 899-902: "Shogi Tournament"]]</ref> Some time afterwards, she would dumbfoundedly learn that Shukichi was actually a famous [[Culture#Shogi|shogi]] player, and the "seven" he wanted to collect were the seven grand titles of a shogi master.

== Personality ==
Yumi is a rather mischievous person and a compulsive match-maker who tries every trick in the trade to bring Sato and Takagi together, even going so far as dropping hints to others about their dates in order to prompt jealousy.

Yumi is considered to be an attractive member of the police force, but is still single. This allows her to take advantage of the men in the district, having them buy gifts for her to try and impress her. She likes to be the center of attention; it is for this reason that she dumped her then-boyfriend, [[Shukichi Haneda]], when he became obsessed to win of all seven [[Culture#Shogi|shogi]] grandmaster titles in order to prove himself worthy of her, but without telling her of either his profession or his actual goal.<ref>Volume 49, File 506, page 11: "The Secret Path to School"</ref> She is also jealous of Sato and others for having relationships while she remains single, and did everything she could to keep [[Kazunobu Chiba|Chiba]] and [[Naeko Miike|Naeko]] from spending too much time alone when she noticed how well they were getting along.

Yumi owns two dogs named Suta and Hachi, and is allergic to cats.<ref>Volume 49, File 507, page 5: "The Secret Path to School 2"</ref>

Yumi likes mahjong and is often sleepy at work from playing all night.

== Abilites ==
Although not being canonized yet by Gosho, it is revealed in [[The Mini Patrol Car Police's Big Chase|episode 918]] that Yumi is able to do martial arts. She has taken courses from [[Miwako Sato]], who is well trained in martial arts (confirmed by the manga) and is probably still taken courses. She has notably learned the [[Wikipedia:Suplex|German Suplex]], a coup in wrestling that consists of taking the adversary's belly from the back and then take him down by pulling him. She is not yet mastering the movement since she wasn't able to perform it completely on one suspect which was too overweight.

She also masters a well driving capacity being able to trace criminals in all roads of Tokyo. She has a good sense of orientation.

They met for the first time on a train where he overslept, resting his head on her shoulder, and Yumi waited for him even though she had to miss her stop.<ref name="titles">[[Volume 85|Volume 85, File 900, page 6: "Check"]]</ref> But years later, they met again after Naeko's friend, Sakurako, called Naeko that someone was dead in an apartment building in which Shukichi happened to reside.

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

== Background ==
[[File:Young Yusaku.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Young Yusaku.]]
Yusaku Kudo was already noted for his sharp intellect and deductive abilities at a young age. He met Inspector Juzo Megure and became a good friend and valuable adviser to him in solving very difficult cases.<ref name="Call">Manga Chapter 204: The Initial Call</ref> While he often assisted the police, Yusaku's primary aspiration was that of a writer. Quickly attracting acclaim in his early twenties as a young novelist, he encountered the girl whom he resolved to marry: [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], an already famed and beautiful actress. While taking her out in an expensive restaurant to make his proposal, he was involved in a murder case which he solved brilliantly, and right afterward proposed to a startled Yukiko - which she accepted (twenty years later, his son [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] would become involved in a follow-up of the exact same case in the exact same restaurant, but unlike Yusaku he wouldn't be able to profess his feelings to his own love, [[Ran Mouri]]).<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref>

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

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

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

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

==Abilities==
Yusaku's most defining trait is his keen mind. Very well-read with advanced knowledge and understanding in a myriad of subjects, Yusaku has repeatedly proven to be immensely observant and analytical. He also shows equally sharp instincts, having an innate talent for seeing through deceptions factors that are out of place. While his son inherited this mindset, Yusaku has consistently been proven to be smarter than Shinichi, being able to solve cases much faster and efficiently with only a brief investigation or fewer clues. Yusaku is a world-renowned and best-selling novelist who won various awards for his mystery novels, especial the Night Baron series.

While not a skill he mastered, Yusaku showed some capable acting skills, able to effectively convince Rei Furuya that he was [[Subaru Okiya]] after his wife and son helped him with the disguise.

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

{{main|Kudo family}}

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

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

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

== 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.

== Name origin ==
Yusaku's name comes from Shunsaku "Kudo" (protagonist of the TV Drama [[Wikipedia: Tantei Monogatari|Tantei Monogatari]] (探偵物語[[Help:Japanese|?]], lit. Detective Story<ref>[[Wikipedia: Tantei Monogatari|Wikipedia]]</ref>)) and actor [[Wikipedia: Yusaku Matsuda|"Yusaku" Matsuda]] (who portrayed Shunsaku Kudo).

== Character inspiration ==
[[Gosho Aoyama]] was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Mycroft Holmes|Mycroft Holmes]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series to create Yusaku Kudo. He's smarter than Sherlock Holmes, the protagonist, which is also the same situation with Shinichi's father.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref>

{{cquote|"You are going to regret it, if you underestimate girls."|[[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|Episode 96]], talking to [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] about [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]}}

== Trivia ==
* Just as Shinichi is considered a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, Yusaku's relationship with his son can be compared to Mycroft, the older brother of Sherlock. Like Mycroft, Yusaku is considerably more intelligent than his younger relative, able to solve cases much sooner, yet has no personal interest in being a detective.
* Yusaku appears to be very near-sighted without his glasses, as Conan first noticed when using one of his pairs.
* His first name translates to, "masterpiece".
* He is right-handed.
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.
* [[Wikipedia: Hideyuki Tanaka|Yusaku's voice actor]] also starred a role as husband alongside [[Wikipedia: Sumi Shimamoto|Sumi Shimamoto]] in Rumiko Takahashi's work as Soichiro Otonashi in Maison Ikkoku.
*According to RECIPE PLUS Super Digest Book he and his son like Yukiko Paella the most

=== Situation ===
Kogoro and Megure are tasked with a critical case that involves the kidnapping of a girl named Naoko Takei, who is being held hostage in a van near a warehouse by the harbor. When the group plus Ran, Conan and Naoko's father, Katsuhiko Takei, approach the van, however, the kidnapper panics and drives the van into the sea itself, killing both Naoko and themself. It turns out Naoko was a classmate of Shinichi and Ran, and as Megure asks Ran about her, Conan thinks of how she was an awkward and quiet "lonely rich kid".

In the following days, Conan befriends a young woman named Akiko Hanai, who works as both Takei's secretary and Naoko's former caretaker. As he gathers information, he realises that Takei had more than one enemy thanks to his corrupt business tactics, and that there's a slim chance that Naoko may be still alive. But he has to be very fast and careful if he wants to uncover the truth and save her.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The kidnapper is '''Akiko Hanai'''. Four years ago, Takei drove a fellow businessman to bankruptcy and then to insanity. His parents killed themselves and their younger son Masahito, leaving their eldest daughter alone. She was adopted by her relatives, who changed her birth name. When she grew up, she decided to look for Takei and work for him under this new identity, to keep an eye on the man who ruined her life.

Akiko kidnapped Naoko after an outing and then faked her own death as well as the girl's, to prove Takei's affection for his child. Naoko was never held hostage in the van: Akiko played the role of both the kidnapper/driver and the victim, and drove the van into the sea to fake her and Naoko's deaths. When they were speaking, Conan noticed that at some point Akiko pinched her nose in a strange manner, to unclog her nose and ears after taking said "dive" and resurfacing too fast afterwards. He also saw that she was quite tanned save for her wrist, where she likely had a special wristwatch used by divers.

Later, Akiko contacts Takei and, still hiding her identity, tells him that Naoko is still alive, and that he should come alone to the same warehouse and bring five million yen in cash if he wants to recover her. However, Takei uses a small amount of bills and cut newspaper as the ransom. This enrages Akiko, and she decides to kill him as punishment via dousing him in gasoline and then gets ready to burn him to death.

As she does so, she reveals her identity to Takei and reveals that the warehouse they are in once belonged to her family which had long since been abandoned. She also reveals that she knew about his crusade against her family and the damage it had caused. She also adds that she would've released Naoko without even taking the ransom, had Takei cared enough for his child to use real money. Conan, who greatly reminds Akiko of the deceased Masahito, appears and talks her out from her murder plans.

Naoko is soon found unharmed by the police, and brought to the presence of Akiko and Takei. She ignores her father when he calls out to her and goes towards Akiko instead, who is arrested, giving her a hug and saying that now she knows her reasons, and forgives her for everything. Takei is left ashamed of himself, having saved the money for his company but lost forever his daughter's affection.</spoiler>

== Story summary ==
[[File: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.

== Internal rules ==
The world of Detective Conan has a set of [[Recurring Tropes|internal rules]] that might catch unfamiliar readers of the [[Manga|manga]] and spectators of the [[Anime|anime]] off guard, such as the [[Lack of Information Sharing|lack of information sharing]] and the regular [[Illogical and Irrational Behavior|illogical and irrational behavior]] exhibited by many characters. The universe is mostly consistent within its rules, with [[Oversights in Detective Conan|a few exceptions]]. The passing of time is difficult to judge, due to a literary device known as a floating timeline, which enables the compression of 20+ years worth of events and technological upgrades into less than one year.

Unlike the Funimation dub, the character names are not localized. [[Wikipedia:Discotek Media|Discotek Media]] release the movies in Blu-ray since 2020.

== 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 adaptation has not been as equally popular as in Japan, and has been criticized for the character 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.

Although popular in many other countries, Case Closed was not as successful in the US, most likely due to poor advertising, name changes, and script changes around Japanese people and culture.

Due to this, FUNimation's dubbed version of "Case Closed" was cancelled at only 130 episodes.

Although, many fans wanted the anime version of Detective Conan to be successful in North America, excluding the renamed character names, it did not do well and still failed and got several negative reviews, and therefore in 2018, FUNimation Entertainment lost the rights to "Case Closed", along with "KenIchi: The Mightiest Disciple".

However, the manga is still released by VIZ Media.

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

The {{nihongo|'''Criminal'''|犯人|han'nin}} in ''[[Detective Conan]]'' is a substitute image for the culprits presented in and is usually depicted as a black or dark humanoid figure, looking like an evil demon. It is used whenever the reader or watcher is to be made aware of the culprit's actions while attempting to keep their identity secret for the time being. Though usually depicted as a criminal, the silhouettes are sometimes protagonists, but their identity has to be kept a secret from both the viewers/readers and/or [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].

== Character evolution ==
=== First appearances ===
[[Gosho Aoyama]] stated that the idea of drawing the silhouette of the culprit was directly ripped off Kindaichi Case Files. The first black figures were very shady and roughly drawn in, and had no real body formation. They usually didn't even have a clearly drawn in face, as was shown in [[Nazo]], the third opening. Sometimes, the figures resembled enough of the actual criminal's body that it could give away the true identity of the culprit.

=== Later changes ===
[[File:femaleculprit.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The female criminal.]]
As the series went even further, the figure received a more human-like appearance with the gradual addition of eyes, noses, mouths, and finally muscles. However, the culprit still maintains a dark hue, lacking distinct clothing, body hair (including beards) and other physical anomalies, like overweightness. The figure remains very generic, looking more like a man or a genderless person (an exception in episodes 354-355 and 369, because an evidence confirms that the murderer is female and thus the criminal has feminine appearance with breasts), keeping the audience guessing about the true identity and physical characterstics of the culprit in question.

== Trivia ==
* In Japan, a hooded jacket is sold with the face of "The Criminal" on the hood. When this is pulled down over the wearer's face, it makes them look like it.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
At Teitan Elementary, Mitsuhiko lends Conan his manga collection, a back-breaking 24 volumes, for some light reading. Conan is intimidated by the sheer bulk, but grudgingly accepts.

Several days later, the Detective Boys encounter a [[Akako Koizumi|mysterious fortuneteller]] on a side street. The fortuneteller's crystal ball tells Conan that he will soon find himself solving mysteries at a place with a tiger, a vulture, and a giant frog. Shortly afterwards, the fortuneteller vanishes. Conan is disturbed, but says nothing.

Conan returns to the Mouri Detective Agency with the Detective Boys, only to find the agency's latest clients: Sayaka and Shizuka Mine. Sayaka and Shizuka want Kogoro to protect their dojo's sacred sword, which has been targeted by Kaitou Kid.

{{InfoBox Heist
| heist =
| image = Treasured Sword Anime.jpg
| thief = [[Kaitou Kid]]
| thief-label = Thief
| target = Treasured sword
| owner = Mine family
| location = Mine household
| date =
| notice = Tonight at 8:00, I shall call at your honorable home to receive your treasured sword.
| description = A prized sword owned by the Mine family.
}}

Kogoro accepts the request, while Conan notes that he has seen these new clients somewhere before, but cannot remember where.

Over at the Mine household, Inspector Nakamori asks to help protect the sword, but are ejected by Sayaka's grandmother. Despite her further protests, Sayaka and Shizuka invite Kogoro, Ran, and the Detective Boys into the house. The Inspector and his men must make do with watching the house's perimeter. The Mouri family and the Detective Boys are quickly acquainted with the rest of the Mine family, including the energetic, sword-happy Yaiba.

After night falls, the Detective Boys, sans Conan, explore the Mines' front yard, and are terrified by Yaiba's friends Kagetora, Shonosuke, and Gerozaemon. The Mouri family and Inspector Nakamori both jump at the noise, but lose interest when they find it a false alarm. Conan becomes even more disturbed as he realizes that the crystal ball's prophecy has come true.

While Kogoro begins drinking with Yaiba's father Kenjuro, Conan tries to learn the sacred sword's location from Sayaka's grandmother, but is rebuffed. Upon seeing a bottle of ''[[paikaru]]'', Conan feigns a cold and asks if he can drink some, hoping to turn back into Shinichi. The old woman misunderstands, however, and gives Conan a glass of homemade cold medicine. Before Conan can ask for "seconds", Ran intervenes and drags him away.

As eight o' clock approaches, Kaitou Kid hang-glides toward the Mine household, but collides with Shonosuke in mid-air and falls into the Mines' koi pond. Kid quickly recovers and resumes his plan to steal the sacred sword, seducing each of the household's three women as they try to stop him.

The rest of the household is alerted to Kid's presence, but only Conan is close enough to give chase. Conan realizes that his legs are too short to catch up to Kid, and takes another drink of the cold medicine, hoping it will re-age him into Shinichi. To his horror, the medicine transforms him into Kogoro. He then stumbles into the real Kogoro, who concludes that he is Kid in disguise, causing Inspector Nakamori and his men to give chase.

Meanwhile, Kid enters the Mine Dojo, and finds the sacred sword being protected by Yaiba. After a quick duel and some trickery, Kid makes off with the sword and escapes on his hang glider. Yaiba refuses to give up, however, and gives chase on a kite. As Kid and Yaiba fight each other in midair, they are spotted by Onimaru, who blasts both of them out of the sky with a cannon.

Conan, hoping to shake off his pursuers, takes another drink of the medicine and turns into Heiji. This does nothing to dissuade Inspector Nakamori and his men, forcing the transfigured Conan to hide in another part of the house. Confused and desperate, Conan tries to piece together a logical explanation, until he comes to an undeniable conclusion.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan, now looking like Shinichi, recovers the sacred sword and lays out his deduction.

==== Evidence ====
* Ayumi is wearing a ribbon instead of her usual headscarf.
* Genta's ten-yen bald spot is on the opposite side of his head.
* Mitsuhiko is missing his freckles.
* The two stray hairs normally dangling from Kogoro's head have now become three.
* Ran's bangs are parted differently.

==== Conclusion ====
The entire adventure was a dream. Conan had fallen asleep reading the ''Yaiba'' manga that Mitsuhiko had loaned him.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
* This OVA was a greatly expanded version of an "extra" chapter from the third volume of ''[[Magic Kaito]]''. The original manga version of the story featured no characters from the ''Detective Conan'' cast, as it had been written and published before even the first chapter of ''Conan''. Akako is also absent from the original manga version.
* In the manga, Kid steals the sacred sword from Yaiba almost immediately. In the anime, he uses his card-gun to fence with Yaiba for a bit before taking the sword.
* In the manga, Yaiba's drunken father interrupts Yaiba and Kid's duel and corrects both of their stances before letting the two resume. This is left out of the anime.
* In the manga, Inspector Nakamori is the one who recovers the sword.
* The manga includes a short epilogue that takes place the morning after the heist, where both Yaiba and Kaito wake up with numerous bruises and swear off anything having to do with swords. This is left out of the anime.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Shiratori invited his close friends to his villa in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, to celebrate its completion. The main highlight was Shiratori's prized collection of expensive wine. However, just as Shiratori was about to share his most valued wine with his guests, he discovered that its bottle was smashed.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Broken bottle of Château Latour
| image = OVA2 Case.jpg
| location = Wine cellar of Shiratori's villa
| suspects = [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Kogoro Mouri]], [[Ran Mouri]], [[Heiji Hattori]], [[Kazuha Toyama]], [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]], [[Ai Haibara]], [[Genta Kojima]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya]], [[Ayumi Yoshida]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Wataru Takagi]], [[Juzo Megure]], [[Eri Kisaki]], and [[Sonoko Suzuki]]
| description = Shiratori's bottle of rare and expensive wine was smashed that cost several million.
}}

Since Shiratori himself could have accidentally dropped the bottle, he is also a suspect together with his fifteen guests. Upon investigation, Heiji reveals that a mouse caused the wine bottle to drop. Conan reveals that Kogoro is responsible for the smashed bottle and reveals that the smashed wine was a fake. Sonoko had replaced Shiratori's prized wine with a cheaper variant with changed label as a prank. Shiratori shares the prized wine with his guests and they drink away the night.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan talks with '''Heiji''' secretly and deduces that he was the one who broke the bottle and not Kogoro. When he noticed the wine is in the wrong cellar, a drunken Kogoro Mouri put it in there, he took the wine but it fell because a japanese mouse, which was behind the wine, startled him by jumping out. During the investigation, Conan noticed that one of Heiji's socks is rolled up. This is because some of the wine splashed onto it when the bottle broke.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* This villa is mentioned also in [[The Last Wizard of the Century]].
* Sonoko claimed to have never been to Karuizawa before, despite her family owning villas in Hawaii, Monaco, Nice, among other places, however not one in this locale unfortunately.
* This OVA reveals that Genta's house is actually a liquor store, "Kojima Liquors".
* Shiratori's most przed wines are: '79 Château Margaux; '85 Château Lafite; '92 Château Le Pin; 1961 Château Latour; 1989 Sassicaia, although it had recently been drank by his younger sister Sara and her husband Kotaro Haretsuki, which does connect to [[Captured in Her Eyes]], when they got married, and furthermore Sato pleased Kogoro for that case's resolution; the last two slots are completely unknown.
* Even though Sonoko's family does not own a villa in Karuizawa, the Kudos do, and Shinichi even brought Ran to see it several years ago.
* Shiratori revealed that cooking is one of his hobbies.

=== Situation ===
Nagano Prefecture, Yatsugatake mountain range, Mt. Mitakara.
When Yamato Kansuke of the Nagano Prefectural Police chased a "certain man" into the snowy mountains, someone's slihouette unexpectedly comes into his field of view.
Taking profit of that distraction, the "certain man" that he was chasing shot a rifle bullet that scratched his left eye at the same time that an avalanche happens, roaring across the area.
The avalanche swallowed him whole...

10 months later. A member of the staff of the research facilities of the Nobeyama National Observatory is attacked by someone.
After hearing the news, Yamato Kansuke, who miraculously made it back from the avalance and Uehara Yui head to the scene.
During their questioning of the staff, the huge parabola antenna of the facilty activates, and Yamato's left eye, which was dead as a result of the accident,
suddenly begins to ache in a fierce way...

On the same day's night, a colleague of Kogorō from his MPD days, nicknamed as "Wani", calls him at his Detective Office.
He was investigating the accident in which Yamato was involved, the avalanche, and says that Kogorō's name was in the report of that investigation.
Kogorō agrees to meet him at a later date, and Conan follows him, but when they head to the meeting site, gunfire suddenly rings out...

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>At dusk, Conan, Kogoro, Morofushi and Ran meet with Otomo and Funakubo. The former reveal that '''Takashi Otomo is Takashi Washizu''', as his name could not be found in police records, and the marks on his arm and armpit correspond to that of using a rifle. Otomo however is not the criminal they think he is anymore, as after his parole, he came back and opened a mountain hut to shelter people and frequently tends to Maki's grave. He also saved Yamato's life when he was involved in the avalanche 10 months ago. He brought him to a phone booth to be saved and secretly left to avoid being seen. Funakubo is shocked to learn this and says that he has always wanted to kill him, but instead embraces and tells him that even though his daughter is no longer there, that he forgives Otomo.

Later, the policemen move into the Nobeyama observatory and confront the real culprit, '''Atsunobu Hayashi'''.</spoiler>

== Music ==

==Template talk:InfoBox TV - In need of technical assistance :S==
Hi Nakamura. I'm sorry to bother you with this, I always try and stay out of the moderator's lane, I know how busy you can be. I tried posting my question on the page's talk, but nobody answered me and I thought that maybe no one could even see that I edited the page. Therefore, I'm writing to you, hoping not to disturb you more than needed. This is my problem:
I'd like to add to the anime episodes pages a link to Detective Conan Anime Shonen Sunday Comics Visual Selection (but only for the episodes that were actually transposed to manga), just like the box present at the bottom of the template in the movies' pages. Is there a way to do it? I apologize but I can't understand how this works, the code is too difficult for me. Also, I'd like to link Detective Conan Movies and Specials Shonen Sunday Comics Visual Selection to Detective Conan Lupin The Third Vs Detective Conan Special, The Disappearance of Conan Edogawa: The Worst Two Days in History, Detective Conan Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small, Conan and Ebizo's Kabuki Jūhachiban Mystery, Detectives' Nocturne, Mystery Train, The Scarlet Return, Holmes' Revelation, Black Impact, The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid, Conan vs. Kaitou Kid, Kaitou Kid's Miraculous Midair Walk, Kaitou Kid vs. Makoto Kyogoku, The Scarlet School Trip, The Betrayal's Stage, The Wizard of the Ripples, Kaiju Gomera vs. Kamen Yaiba, A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night, The Trembling Police Headquarters: 12 Million Hostages, Parade of Malice and Saint, The Girl from the Black Organization and Reunion with the Black Organization as well.--[[User:Vsc|Vsc]] ([[User talk:Vsc|talk]]) 16:15, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

== A request for some collaborative discussion (elsewhere) ==

Hello Nakamura, I wanted to leave you a notification regarding my [[Detective Conan Wiki:Discussion#Should we create an article for this recent NHK-World Japan documentary on Gosho Aoyama?|Should we create an article for this recent NHK-World Japan documentary on Gosho Aoyama?]] discussion on the Detective Conan Wiki:Discussion page. It's been posted for a few days, and frankly, no one has replied. I'm not any sort of attention-seeker, as you might describe, but I would appreciate it if you could just take the time to read and leave a reply to my discussion. P.S. If you know a way that I can notify fellow wiki contributors without posting anything onto their talk page, then that would also be very helpful. --[[User:AvidConanContributor|Avico]] ([[User talk:AvidConanContributor|talk]]) 04:04, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

== Hi ==

I'm a new user here and I'd like to post on the forum. But I need approval from moderators. Can I get approved? Thanks. I have so many things I would like to discuss about the series. Also, don't worry about my username. I know it's a stupid username, but it was based on a Skeppy meme from years ago --[[User:I was testing XD|I was testing XD]]
:Nakamura contacted me and I approved your content on the forum.--[[User:Mario-WL|Mario-WL]] ([[User talk:Mario-WL|talk]]) 13:39, 23 June 2025 (UTC)
