'''{{nihongo|Kenjuro Kurogane|鉄剣十郎|Kurogane Kenjūrō}}''' is a character from [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s second series ''[[Yaiba]]''.

== Background ==
Kenjuro is [[Yaiba Kurogane|Yaiba]]'s father and the rival of [[Sayaka Mine|Sayaka]]'s father, [[Raizo Mine|Raizo]]. A master swordsman, he took his son Yaiba to the jungles of Africa to train. At the start of the story they return to Japan and move in with the Mine family before Kenjuro sets off on his own, as he is prone to doing, leaving Yaiba behind. At first glance he is an irresponsible, womanizing, indecisive, drunk, but he frequently reappears during a tight situation to lend Yaiba helpful advice. In the Oda Nobunaga Tournament he is the master of Yaiba's former enemy [[Takeshi Onimaru]]. In reality, Kenjuro is the leader of the Kurogane Group and a celebrity in the kendo world, but prefers to live a free and easy life. When the Kurogane Group falls apart he reluctantly becomes the new head.

In the 1993 anime version of ''Yaiba'', Kenjuro only appears in the first episode and does not accompany Yaiba back to Japan.

== Plot overview ==
=== Yaiba ===
Yaiba's father Kenjuro took his very young son and moved to the jungle to train him to be a master swordsman. Six years before the start of the series, Yaiba saves the young [[Nadeshiko Yamato]] from being attacked by a Jaguar during a Safari. She instantly fell in love with him back then.<ref>[[Yaiba Volume 17]], Chapter 3</ref>

One day, in their home jungle, Yaiba and his father are catching a gorilla and cooking him, which provokes a tiger to attack, because he wants his own share of it. The relatives of the gorilla appear and hunt Yaiba, his father and the tiger until they manage to try in a crate full of fruits, which unfortunately is put into a plane and transported to Tokyo. After their arrival, the trio encounter [[Sayaka Mine]] and her father [[Raizo Mine|Raizo]], an old kendo rival of Kenjuro, who tries to challenge the latter to a duel, which doesn't happen because Kenjuro spontaneously grabs all five of them and stuffs them into a taxi, heading to the Mine family mansion to escape from the airport police. Yaiba on the other hand marvels about Sayaka, who is the first girl he has ever seen in his life.<ref>[[Yaiba Volume 1]], Chapter 1-2</ref>

Sayaka, who is the same age as Yaiba, is accompanied by him to middle school on the following day, where he immediately finds himself in a conflict with a teacher and several classmates well-versed in kendo, including the bald swordsman [[Takeshi Onimaru]]. Yaiba absolutely wants to challenge him and urges him to a fight, which Takeshi refuses, whereupon Yaiba sets up some extremely perfidious traps to convince him otherwise. As a result, the two do battle shortly afterwards, which leads them across a large chunk of [[Tokyo]], causing a lot of property damage. None of them really wins the fight in the end and both end up seriously injured.<ref>[[Yaiba Volume 1]], Chapter 3-9</ref>

While Yaiba is now returning to school and appreciating the girls' company there, Onimaru withdraws and discovers a secret cellar right under his family's mansion, in which the sword of the Shinto god Fujin, which embodies storm and wind, is kept. To the horror of his grandfather and sister Ayame, the young man is overwhelmed by the power of the sword, which turns him into a horned devil who gathers a group of eight animal demons around him. Onimaru then conquers all of Japan and demonstrates his newly gained power by completely destroying [[Tokyo Tower]]. At the same time, Yaiba and his friends set out on an arduous journey to track down the complementary weapon to Fujin, the sword of the thunder god Raijin, to train with it and to stop the demons, with Yaiba being mentored by the 400-year-old samurai [[Musashi Miyamoto]], who - to their inital disappointment - seems more like a thief and a pervert, than a legendary swordsman.<ref>[[Yaiba Volume 2]], Chapter 1-5</ref>

Together with this illustrious group, which also includes the immortal samurai [[Jubei Yagyu]] and Kojiro Sasaki, as well as two of the animal demons - Gerozaemon Geroda and [[Namako-Otoko]] - who have switched sides, Yaiba manages to put Takeshi Onimaru in his place several times during the series, finally cutting off his horns during their last battle, which turns him back into a normal human student and returning more or less everything to normality. Shortly thereafter, Yaiba meets his younger sister [[Moroha Kurogane]] and their mother [[Michiko Kurogane|Michiko]], before joining a martial arts tournament organized by multi-billionaire Gakuso Shirogane, where he is pitted against the clearly superior competitor [[Soshi Okita]]. Okita, however, forfeits his sure victory when he realizes that, no matter how far he goes, Yaiba would never give up, even if it would cost him his own life. The two have been major rivals since then.<ref>[[Yaiba Volume 2]], Chapter 6 - [[Yaiba Volume 24]], Chapter 11</ref>

=== Detective Conan ===
==== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2#Mysterious Shadow Case|10-12]]) ====
Yaiba Kurogane first appears as a fictional character on the television of the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] in file 12, in a scene seemingly taken from his last battle against [[Takeshi Onimaru]] and Yamata no Orochi, fighting with the energy form of his Haou-ken he used during it.<ref>[[Volume 2]], File 3</ref>

==== Monthly Presents Case (Manga: [[Volume 3#Monthly Presents Case|26-29]], Anime: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case|7]]) ====
In file 28, [[Conan Edogawa]] finds an important clue in a videogame called "YAIBA no Daibōken" ("YAIBA's Great Adventure") he finds in the hospital, depicting Yaiba Kurogane on the cover.<ref>[[Volume 3]], File 9</ref>

==== Lex Vocalist Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 5#Lex Vocalist Murder Case|45-48]]) ====
The cover for File 45 shows Conan and [[Ran Mouri]] singing karaoke in front of a monitor showing Yaiba Kurogane, while the subtitles spell out "Yuuki ga Areba" - the opening song of ''Kenyū Densetsu YAIBA''.<ref>[[Volume 5]], chapter 6</ref>

==== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10#Great Detective of the West|92-96]]) ====
Conan, irritated at still being small and having to visit the children's floor of Beika Library in File 96<ref>[[Volume 10]], File 6</ref>, finds two books, titled "Kaitō Boy" (= ''[[Magic Kaito]]'') and "Samurai Shōnin" (= ''[[Yaiba]]''), the latter one sporting a small Yaiba Kurogane holding his sword up high on the book jacket.

==== Kendo Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 93#Kendo Tournament Murder Case|990]]-[[Volume 94#Kendo Tournament Murder Case|993]], Anime: [[The Kendo Tournament of Love and Mystery|916-917]]) ====
When [[Heiji Hattori]] asks [[Soshi Okita]] whether he finally takes him seriously, he just responds that this is not the case, since there actually is "another one", a "real strong guy" he can't lose to (or he "might lose to", depending on the translation), indirectly referring to Yaiba Kurogane, as will become clear during the Crimson School Trip Case.

==== Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1000-1005]], Anime: [[The_Scarlet_School_Trip|927-928]]) ====
[[File:EP928-Yaiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Okita telling Ran about his rival Yaiba and his sister Moroha.]]
It later on turns out that a real version of the 17-year-old Yaiba Kurogane (from the epilogue chapter of his own Manga) exists in the world of Conan, whose sister [[Moroha Kurogane]] is the love of kendoka [[Soshi Okita]], who also originally originated in ''[[Yaiba]]''. He tells [[Ran Mouri]] that, as his greatest rival, he must defeat him before he can confess his love for her, but asks of Ran not to tell [[Momiji Ooka]] anything about this.

==== Lover Code Case (Manga: [[Volume 98#Lover Code Case|1039-1042]]) ====
The [[Detective Boys]] play a platformer videogame featuring Yaiba Kurogane and [[Sayaka Mine]] in File 1039 while they are at [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s house. Their running pose in a line also is a little bit reminiscent of the walking pose they have on the cover of [[Yaiba Volume 1]].<ref>[[Volume 98]], File 3</ref>

=== Yaiba (Epilogue) ===
==== Are You Coming? (Yaiba Manga: [[Yaiba Volume 24|255]]) ====
The last seen of Yaiba in his own series is his short appearance at the end of the final chapter of the Manga, set three years after the previous events of the story and chronologically after ''[[Detective Conan]]''<ref>In [[Volume 94]], File 11 it is said that [[Takeshi Onimaru]] already has won two national titles at such a young age. In [[Yaiba Volume 24]], Chapter 12, he is just winning his third national title, chronologically placing this epilogue after the ''Yaiba'' characters' appearance in ''Detective Conan''. Furthermore, [[Kaito Kuroba]] and [[Aoko Nakamori]] are said to be an official couple now, also placing it after every ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' chapter released up til now.</ref>, now of high school age and looking way more mature than before. During his appearance he asks Sayaka - now attending the second year of [[Ekoda High School]] - if she wants to accompany him on new adventures, to which she agrees.<ref>[[Yaiba Volume 24]], Chapter 12</ref>

=== Non-canon Detective Conan overview ===
[[File:Detective Conan OVA1 10398638.png|thumb|right|200px|Yaiba meeting the Detective Boys in OVA 1.]]
==== Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba (Anime: [[Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba - The Grand Battle for the Treasure Sword!!|OVA 1]]) ====
In the three-way cross-over OVA, Yaiba battles [[Kaitou Kid]], whom he mistakenly refers to as "Kancho Kid" (''kancho'' is a popular prank amongst Japanese children where you put your index fingers together and poke someone in the butt), in order to prevent him from stealing the Mine family's treasured sword. Yaiba tries to protect the sword by tying it to his headband and belt, but Kid easily tricks him into looking away so he can undo the headband. After a brief swordfight Kid uses his hang glider to escape, but [[Musashi Miyamoto|Musashi]] has Yaiba use a kite (transported by Kagetora in the original ''[[Magic Kaito]]'' chapter) to fight him in the air until [[Takeshi Onimaru|Onimaru]] suddenly appears shoots them down with a cannon, causing Kid to finally give up and go home. The Magic Kaito chapter ends with both Yaiba and Kid saying to themselves that they don't want to sword fight ever again.

The OVA version portrayed Yaiba as being much younger, around the same age as the [[Detective Boys]], rather than 14. When he introduces himself to the ''Detective Conan'' characters, the Detective Boys think he is trying to be Kamen Yaiba but dressed incorrectly. Yaiba misunderstands and thinks they misheard his name and then asks what a ''Kamen Yaiba'' is. This version of the story also ends up just being a dream by [[Conan Edogawa]], who has read too much ''[[Yaiba]]'' volumes the night before he borrowed from [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya]].

* The TV superhero [[Kamen Yaiba]] from ''[[Detective Conan]]'' is not only a combination of "Kamen Rider" and "Yaiba", he's also a reference to a moment from the Manga of ''[[Yaiba]]'', when Yaiba Kurogane put on Sayaka's underwear like a mask to protect himself from the attacks of the Sugi Pollen Soldier, resembling the mask of the Rider a bit and jokingly calling himself "Kamen Yaiba".<ref>[[Yaiba Volume 18]], Chapter 8</ref>
* Yaiba is unfamiliar with English accent.

'''{{nihongo|Jubei Yagyu|柳生十兵衞|Yagyū Jūbei}}''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Yagyu Jubei Mitsuyoshi|柳生十兵衞三厳|Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi}}''', is a recurring character of [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s second manga ''[[Yaiba]]''. He is directly based on the [[Wikipedia: Yagyū Jūbei Mitsuyoshi|historical samurai of the same name]].

== Background ==
Jubei Yagyu is a historical samurai with a mysterious past and master of the Yagyu Shin Kageryuu swordfighting style, who learned under [[Musashi Miyamoto]], whom he still holds in high regard, which shows when [[Yaiba Kurogane]] tells him that he's just a perverted geezer, angering Jubei. He's usually calm and collected and doesn't want women to "interfere" with his path of the sword, but when he gets drunk, he transforms into a lecherous werewolf who calls himself "Yajirobe".

== Plot overview ==
=== ''Yaiba'' ===
Jubei Yagyuu was revived by Kumo-Otoko in a similar way to Kojiro Sasaki, but he lost him.

[[Yaiba Kurogane]] and his friends first meet Jubei Yagyu in the streets of Niigata, where he challenges Kojiro Sasaki to a duel, which he wins by Kojiro's mistake of elongating his Monohoshizao sword too much, swaying to the side when standing on top of it and crashing through the roof of the Dojo in the Mine residence. Yaiba challenges Jubei too, with Musashi slowly realizing that this Jubei is, in fact, ''the'' Jubei Yagyu he taught in the past. Yaiba manages to trick Jubei, causing him to lose, with Musashi revealing himself to him, which shocks him, because he isn't the man he once was anymore, trying to commit ritual suicide, which Yaiba and [[Sayaka Mine]] can keep him from succeeding in. Yaiba asks him whether he could be his new teacher, since he thinks that he's way stronger than Musashi. He then joins Yaiba's group.

'''{{nihongo|Musashi Miyamoto|宮本武蔵|Miyamoto Musashi}}''' is a major character in [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s second series ''[[Yaiba]]'', presented as being the historical [[Wikipedia:Miyamoto Musashi|Musashi]].

== Background ==
[[File:Young Musashi Miyamoto.png|thumb|left|200px|Musashi Miyamoto in 1612]]
A diminutive old man with long, antenna-like eyebrows, Musashi is indeed the real famous samurai from the early [[Wikipedia: Edo period|Edo Period]]. Thought to have died in 1645, he is instead still alive and 400 years old. He has been guarding the Raijin-ken for centuries and now trains [[Yaiba Kurogane]], who has been able to pull the sword from it's stone. Having won 60 fights in his lifetime his skill is still amazing, but even though he has unbelievable reflexes and skill he is prone to back spasms and has a fragile hip. Though a more responsible less lenient master than [[Kenjuro Kurogane|Yaiba's father]], he is still as gluttonous and lecherous as Yaiba is.

In flashbacks he is shown to be tall and attractive, but there is no resemblance to his current look. He looks so different in fact that his revived rival [[Kojiro Sasaki]] and pupil [[Jubei Yagyu]] could not recognize him at all.

His trademark laugh is ''Hyo~hyohyohyo''.

Like the real life Musashi, he uses '''{{nihongo|Niten Ichi-ryuu|二天一流|Two Heavens as One Style}}''', also known as ''Two Sword Style''.

{{nihongo|'''Dokuro'''|ドクロ|Dokuro}}, also respectfully known by his underlings as {{nihongo|'''Strong Cat Dokuro'''|強ネコ・ドクロ|Tsuyoneko・Dokuro}} or {{nihongo|'''Master Dokuro'''|ドクロ様|Dokuro-sama}} and originally known as {{nihongo|'''Kuro'''|クロ|Kuro}} is a street cat roaming around [[Tokyo]], first appearing as a one-off antagonist in ''[[Yaiba]]'', terrorizing a bunch of rats living in the [[Mine residence]]. He also appeared in ''[[Zero's Tea Time]]'' twice, attacking [[Haro]] and scaring [[Hiroki]].

== Appearance ==
Dokuro is a cat with black fur who has a cross-shaped scar on his forehead and is missing his left ear. His eyes are completely white most of the time. He's also wearing a dented bell around his neck he once got from [[Dokuro's mistress|his owner]], which fittingly resembles a skull.

== Plot overview ==
[[File:Dokuro Young.jpg|thumb|200px|left|A young Kuro left behind by his owners.]]

=== Past ===
Dokuro originally was a normal cat called Kuro (literally "Black") with a pretty regular life as a pet in [[Yaoya]], until the family of his mistress, a young girl, moved away, accidentally leaving him behind. He had to survive on the streets of [[Tokyo]] all by himself, getting chased by grocery owners when stealing food and by furious dogs, one of whom cut off his left ear. He started to let others pay for what happened to him, building an awe-inspiring reputation and forming his own group of stray cats.<ref>''[[Yaiba]]'', chapter 167 ([[Yaiba Volume 17]], chapter 2), page 4</ref>

Sometime during winter, [[Yaiba Kurogane]] and [[Sayaka Mine]] get shrunken and find themselves in the attic of the [[Mine residence]], where a tribe of rats lives, explaining to them the situation about Dokuro and his underlings attacking them regularly. Just after saying this, a henchman of Dokuro barges into the room<ref>''[[Yaiba]]'', chapter 164 ([[Yaiba Volume 16]], chapter 10)</ref>, with Yaiba battling him until he cuts his tail off. He flees back to Dokuro, but gets punished for his failure. Dokuro and the other cats watch this, with the former ordering them to also attack the attic. Yaiba fends off those cats too and proves to the rats that they can defend themselves<ref>''[[Yaiba]]'', chapter 165 ([[Yaiba Volume 16]], chapter 11)</ref>, but during these fights, one of the lit candles in the attic falls to the side and burns the roof, with Dokuro appearing on it between the flames to challenge Yaiba, threatening Sayaka and the remaining rats.<ref>''[[Yaiba]]'', chapter 166 ([[Yaiba Volume 17]], chapter 1)</ref>

Another battle ensues, this time between Yaiba and Dokuro, where the latter is hit by a firework rocket which causes Yaiba to win by hitting the surprised Dokuro with his [[Raijin-ken]] in the scar on his forehead and both getting thrown off the roof, into the well inside the backyard of the Mine residence. Yaiba comes up victorious with Dokuro's corpse, it seems, but the cat is still alive. Briefly before trying to enact revenge, his mistress appears, calling him by his real name Kuro, now being an older student taking him with her, with (Do)Kuro crying that he finally found her again. His underlings escape for good - but now the Mine residence got a rat infestation.<ref>''[[Yaiba]]'', chapter 167 ([[Yaiba Volume 17]], chapter 2)</ref>

* The fact that he's a stray cat in ''[[Zero's Tea Time]]'' could either imply that it's set before his mistress is getting him back in ''[[Yaiba]]'', that it's just rendering the events from there as non-[[canon]] or that she lost him ''again''.

Many relics have been made about him as publicity and marketing, including trading cards, posters, DVDs, and figurines. He is most liked by elementary schoolers like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]], and many movies of the franchise have been produced. The plot is about a hero wanting to save the world from the threat of Jocker, an evil organization of alien monsters, and to conquer a young lady who is his first love. On the way to defeat his arch-enemy, the Jocker's boss, Yaiba also has to fight other villains that come in the way. The original Kamen Yaiba's arch-enemy was the Potato Baron, the fiends' leader ruled by the Potato Queen.

Kamen Yaiba's real identity is Raiha Shirogane (白金雷刃), a normal young and good looking person who's always in the park with his childhood friend Rei Natsume selling hot dogs. When something happens, he immediately drives to the scene and begin to battle the evil people or aliens. But, Rei does not know that he really is Kamen Yaiba. She only knows that her boyfriend often finds excuses to stop work, and ride away somewhere on his motorcycle. But every time, Rei forgives Kamen Yaiba with forgiving eyes. When the author was planning the story for Kamen Yaiba he made a scenario where his younger sister got killed. But, Kamen Yaiba doesn't fight for vengeance. He fights to maintain justice.<ref name=ep119>Episode 119: "The Kamen Yaiba Murder Case".</ref>. He also has a pet cat named "Torakage" (虎影).

== Production ==
Kamen Yaiba is one of the most viewed shows in Japan in the series world and is produced by [[Nichiuri TV]], based in Tokyo. The series first aired 24 years before the current [[Timeline]]. The show's episodes sytem is based on the series one with episodes and seasons. It has a wide range of TV producers and ADs having two main actors: the one acting Kamen Yaiba and the one acting as Yaiba's girlfriend.

The show disposes of a wide range of animated presentations to children, most often in parks and public areas like the [[Wikipedia: Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse|Yokohama Red Brick Warehouse]]. The lighting and illumination is done by Ken Abe, Eizo Mizuguchi, and Nao Omura. The recording staff team is made by Emiko Akahori and Kenji Matoyama. The visual effects team has only two members: Masahiko Abe and Masahiro Isobe. The show has also been cooperated with Tohto University's Tama Campus, a visual arts department of the fictitious university, Iwakuma Sightseeing, a tourism agency promoting the show, Koyama Buses, bus transports for the staff, and Nagasaka's Everyone Kindergarten, as a promoter for children's shows.<ref>Semi credits on a TV series in episode 391.</ref> The show appears in a weekly basis and mainly targets a young audience range, although some fans are really older. Two movies have been made so far. [[TWO-MIX]] sang the theme song.

The actor himself is not as powerful and strong as his character, since he is skinny, has black hair, and doesn't have any strength.

== Name origin ==
[[File:Kamen Rider and Kamen Yaiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kamen Yaiba is a parody of Kamen Rider.]]
[[File:Yaiba Chapter 184 Kamen Yaiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Yaiba as "Kamen Yaiba".]]
The name Kamen Yaiba is a combination of a parody of the Tokusatsu TV show ''[[Wikipedia: Kamen Rider|Kamen Rider]]'', as well as [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s previous manga and anime ''[[Yaiba]]'', referencing a moment from chapter 184, when [[Yaiba Kurogane|Yaiba]] put on [[Sayaka Mine|Sayaka]]'s underwear like a mask to protect himself from the attacks of the Cedar Pollen Soldier, resembling the Rider a bit and jokingly calling himself "Kamen Yaiba" because of this. That franchise itself has had screenplays done by [[Toshiki Inoue]]. Several ''Detective Conan'' actors have appeared on ''Kamen Rider'', including: [[Tori Matsuzaka]], [[Seizo Kato]], [[Rikiya Koyama]], and [[Takanori Jinnai]].

Kamen Yaiba's real name "Raiha Shirogane" (白金雷刃) comes from [[Yaiba Kurogane]]'s name. "Shirogane" means silver (銀), while "Kurogane" means steel (鉄). Raiha contains the word for Yaiba's first name (刃), while the "Rai" part means "lightning" (雷) and is a reference to Yaiba's trademark technique the "lightning slash" (雷切). Yaiba's cat "Torakage" is a wordplay on Yaiba's pet tiger "Kagetora" (カゲトラ).

{{nihongo|'''Hanzawa-san'''|犯沢さん|Hanzawa-san}}, real name {{nihongo|'''Makoto Hanzawa'''|犯沢真人|Hanzawa Makoto}}, is the main protagonist in the [[manga]] and [[anime]] series ''[[Hanzawa the Criminal]]''.

== Background ==
Hanzawa-san is a country bumpkin who moved from Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, to Beika City to find the guy he has a grudge on and wants to murder: [[Shinichi Kudo]]. He moved there since it is the city with the highest crime rate in the world, and it suits him best. It was also stated in [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 1|chapter 1]] that Beika is the crime city of his dreams.

== Personality ==
He is unknowledgeable in how to live in a city and sometimes relies on his mom. Whenever someone annoys him, he imagines situations where he is murdering them. However, he restrains himself from doing so since it'd be problematic to do 'unnecessary' murders that would attract the police's attention. Despite wanting to murder people, he finds it scary living in a place where actual crimes took place. He also doesn't like hearing explanations of what happened on a stigmatized property.

== Appearance ==
His appearance is based on [["The Criminal"]] silhouette used in ''[[Detective Conan]]''. The difference is that his design has purple shading and occasionally uses a yellow backpack.

== Plot overview ==
{{Stub}}

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Conan Edogawa ===
Conan is usually seen following Hanzawa-san whenever he bumps into him. This is because he finds Hanzawa-san suspicious and is sometimes accompanied by [[Heiji Hattori]]. Hanzawa-san doesn't seem to realize he's constantly being followed, due to him being lost in thoughts.

=== Shinichi Kudo ===
Shinichi is the target for his murder's plan.

=== Ran Mouri ===
Due to constantly encountering many cases and criminals, Ran finds Hanzawa-san as nothing out of the ordinary instead of suspicious. However, Hanzawa-san finds her the opposite. He fears her ever since their encounter in [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 1|chapter 6]], where Ran uses her karate skills to beat up bad guys who cornered her when she wanted to take her drunk [[Kogoro Mouri|father]] home.

=== Hiroshi Agasa ===
Hanzawa-san first met Professor Agasa in [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 1|chapter 4]] while waiting at a police station. Same with other characters, Prof. Agasa is usually accompanied by [[Ai Haibara]]. Hanzawa-san thinks he is a mad scientist and has a serious criminal history due to him saying it's spring when he saw an explosion, 'experimenting on him', etc.

=== Sonoko Suzuki ===
Sonoko was the first 'target' of Hanzawa-san ever since he entered Beika city. This is due to Sonoko laughing at him when he inserted a ticket that is supposed to touch the panel at Beika's train station's barrier. Fortunately, Sonoko didn't become a victim of him since he doesn't want to murder her over something trivial as that.

=== Kaito Kuroba/Kaitou Kid ===
In [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 3|chapter 13]], he found Kaito, who might be the person that Hanzawa-san has a grudge on and wants to murder. Kaito is sometimes seen with his childhood friend, [[Aoko Nakamori]], and his alter ego's assistant, [[Konosuke Jii]]. Hanzawa-san seems to call him "That guy" and "That man" without any specific name. When he met [[Kaitou Kid]], he notices he is the spitting image of [[Kaito Kuroba]]. After he met Kid in a heist, he concluded that Kaito is not the same person he is looking for despite having similar face.

[[File:Weapon Smuggler.jpg|right|100px]]
Gin and Vodka blackmailed a 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 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. He appears in [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|Roller Coaster Murder Case]].
{{clear}}

[[File:Kenzou Hirota.jpg|right|100px]][[File:Shirou Kaizuka.jpg|right|100px]]

However after the robbery, Hirota backstabbed his partners and went into hiding with the money. Akemi and her other partner, a giant, hired each a detective to search for Hirota, posing as relatives. First Akemi's detective, Kogoro, found him. When Akemi stood face to face with him, he became terrified, but couldn't do anything in front of Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. The giant killed Hirota for his betrayal. There isn't known much about him expect that he plays on horses and owns four cats. He appears in [[Volume 2#¥1,000,000,000 Robbery|¥1,000,000,000 Robbery]], but [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case]] replaced him with Shiro Kaizuka.
{{clear}}

{{nihongo|'''Akira Hirota'''|広田明|Hirota Akira}}, age 28, was the giant Pachinko parlor guard hired by Akemi to be a part of her robbery gang due to his strength. After Kenzo betrayed them, he hired a detective to search for him, posing as an elder brother. After Kenzo was found, the giant killed him. Akemi who happened to also have tracked him down gave him her watch, which had Conan's tracker on. He and Akemi hide in a hotel room, and while the giant was counting the money, Akemi slipped cyanide pills into his drink in the belief that they were just sleeping pills, hence killing the giant. He appears in ¥1,000,000,000 Robbery, but The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case replaced him with Kishii.
{{clear}}

=== Woman ===
[[File:EP5 Woman near window.jpg|right|100px]]
A corrupt career-woman from Tokyo exchanged 400 million yen for information about gold worth even more money with Gin and Vodka on a bullet train's dining car. Instead of information, the organization packed the case they were giving her with explosives to kill the woman because she was no longer useful. She was saved by Conan and arrested by the Kyoto police. She appears in [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|Shinkansen Bomb Case]], but the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with look-alike criminals.
{{clear}}

=== Hideaki Nakajima ===
[[File:Hideaki Nakajima.jpg|right|100px]]

He was in a university boxing club and has issues with creditors. He made an exchange with Tequila, giving him a list of some of the world's most highly skilled programmers in exchange for a large amount of money. One of his two co-workers wanted to kill him for revenge, but Tequila was killed instead by accident. The organization then immediately blew up the [[Setting|Daiko Building's Cocktail Bar]] where Hideaki and Tequila had meetings. He appears in [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|Game Convention Case]].
{{clear}}

=== Suguru Itakura ===
[[File:Suguru Itakura.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Suguru Itakura]] was a famous CG graphic designer/games system engineer who also worked on special effects for films. Three years before the current timeline, he stopped developing CG and a particular program due to poor eyesight. Two years ago Tequila showed up at his office to say he was interested in the particular "system software" he stopped developing. One year later, he was later forced to finish the program with a year deadline. He didn't want to complete the program "not only for his eyesight but for the sake of humanity." He stayed in New Beika Hotel where he was killed by an old friend. He kept a diary and noted Vermouth had a cat around when he talked to her. Conan pretending to be him was told to put the disk in locker 0032. He also helped provide many special effects for films and plays Vermouth and Yukiko were in. This is presumably how Vermouth hired him for the organization's research as she was seen arguing with him on sets, something she never did with anyone else, and due to his skills with computers, Tequila was was tasked with intimidating/harassing Itakura with Vermouth.

=== Atsushi and Elena Miyano ===
[[Atsushi Miyano]] and [[Elena Miyano]] were Haibara's parents. They headed the [[Silver Bullet (drug)|Silver Bullet]]/[[APTX 4869]] project before Shiho Miyano took over.

[[File:APTX 4869 victim list 3.jpg|thumb|right|200px]]
The organization keeps a record of people who were poisoned with [[APTX 4869]]. According to Haibara they were all confirmed "dead" ({{lang|ja|死亡}}), except for Shinichi Kudo ({{lang|ja|工藤新一}}) who was listed as "uncertain" ({{lang|ja|不明}}). Haibara says she changed Shinichi's status to "Dead" while she was still in the organization, which was first shown in the version of the list that Rumi Wakasa looks at on her laptop in file 1005. The list doesn't seem to be in chronological<ref>Shinichi is the first victim according to Gin: "We'll use this, the new poison the organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff. We haven't tested it on humans yet, so this'll be our little guinea pig". However, Haneda was killed seventeen years ago.</ref> or alphabetical order. Haibara said it could be blood type order. At least ten people are shown listed, and there may be more victims if the list is longer than shown.

Plus, Mary Sera should now be on the list, somewhere, as well after [[Holmes' Revelation]], when Vermouth administered it to her. Amanda Hughes too.

=== Amanda Hughes ===
[[File:Amanda Hughes.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Amanda Hughes]] was an elderly wealthy American who was killed by Rum seventeen years prior to the current timeline, when she was 81-year-old. Ai Haibara has yet to confirm whether she saw Amanda's name on the list or not. Amanda apparently had contacts to two American intelligence agencies, the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] and [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]]. She died while staying at a hotel which was also occupied by shogi champion Kohji Haneda whom Amanda was a big fan of, and who was killed the same night. It was proved that she visited his hotel room.
{{clear}}

=== Kohji Haneda ===
[[File:Kohji Haneda.jpg|right|100px]]
The victim [[Kohji Haneda]] is [[Shukichi Haneda]]'s non-blood older brother. He was murdered by Rum seventeen years ago along with Amanda Hughes. In file 947, Shukichi quoted his brother Kohji as saying {{nihongo|"one should stick with one's original plan"|初志貫徹|shoshi kantetsu}}. During "[[Lets Talk with Gosho Aoyama Day#2016 DCTP thread version|Let's Talk with Gosho Aoyama-sensei Day 2016]]", Gosho mentioned there was "red herring" in volume 18, the same volume this list appeared in.
{{clear}}

=== Mary Sera ===
[[File:Mary.jpg|100px|right]]
[[Mary Sera]], an unknown child whom Masumi calls sister outside the territory, was revealed in file 972 to be the mother of Shuichi Akai, Shukichi Haneda, and [[Masumi Sera]]. Before [[Holmes' Revelation]], she possessed an adult body. She was forced to take the APTX 4869 by Vermouth in London, which caused her body to shrink. She currently lives in various hotels, switching locations often as if pressured by a sense of threat. Mary and Masumi were forced to go back in Japan in hopes of finding an antidote to bring back her adult body, and she saw such hope in the boy they met ten years ago, Shinichi Kudo.
{{clear}}

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

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

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

=== Masahito Yoshioka ===
[[File:EP230 BO victim.png|right|100px]]
{{nihongo|'''Masahito Yoshioka'''|吉岡昌仁|Yoshioka Masahito}}, age 42, was a Ministry of Foreign Affairs general summary in OK Trading Co., Ltd. who lived in Haido City. Gin and Vodka set up that man to be killed the night they met with him at the "Polestar", a jazz club. Vodka remarks that he seemed happy even though "he didn't even suspect that that drink would be his last." He was never shown in the manga, but was shown stepping into a taxi in the anime. He appears in [[Volume 29#Bus Hijacking Case|Bus Hijacking Case]], and in the anime added a [[canon|non-canonical]] business card which lists his name, the real-life chief producer of many related films and episodes from the anime studio [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]], appeared also on the party registry in [[Captured in Her Eyes]] and on the visitors' of Matsue Castle in [[Sword of the Eight-Headed Serpent#Trivia|Sword of the Eight-Headed Serpent]], where he lives in Nagasaki. His name is also in the anime list of APTX 4869 victims in [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case]].
{{clear}}

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

=== Senzo Fukuura ===
[[File:Senzo Fukuura.jpg|right|100px]]
{{nihongo|'''Senzo Fukuura'''|福浦千造|Fukuura Senzō}}, movie producer of "The Haunted Ship" series, was killed by a man wearing a werewolf costume whom Vermouth had blackmailed. His death was part of Vermouth's plan to lure Shinichi away from Haibara, so it is unclear whether Vermouth had a particular reason for wanting Senzo Fukuura dead or if she only selected him as the target because he was convenient. Since she's an actress, she most likely used her connections in the movie business to gather information about the party in order to cocoon the murder plan. At this time, Vermouth was acting without the approval of the organization, so it is doubtful whether this man was of any interest to the rest of the organization. He appears in [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|Halloween Party Case]].
{{clear}}

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

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

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
[[File:Kogoro Mouri.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Kogoro Mouri]] temporarily became an assassination target when Gin mistakenly thought that the detective planted a tracking and listening device on Kir's shoe. With their head's permission he, Vodka, Vermouth, Korn and Chianti went Beika city to silence the detective. As the organization snipers, Korn and Chianti, prepare to fire at Kogoro, they are interrupted by Conan kicking a soccer ball into Kogoro's window and Akai's sniper shots. Thus, Kogoro is saved at the last second by a double effort from Conan and Akai, and the organization is made to believe the FBI planted the tracker. Despite Vermouth's prompting, Gin does not believe that Kogoro is completely innocent. Amuro investigates and then apprentices himself to Kogoro because Amuro suspected the detective may be connected to Sherry. Kogoro was previously suspected of being linked to Sherry because the [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracker]], [[microphone]], and gum combo Gin found on Kir's shoe after the [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|Ding Dong Dash case]] was the same style as the one Gin [[Reunion with the Black Organization|discovered in his car]] that Sherry supposedly planted. When Gin heard that Gaito Hotta, someone who had information on the [[Case from 17 years ago|Kohji Haneda case]], had been killed and that Kogoro had been involved, his suspicions rose again. The he says "Its like encountering a demon in the darkness... If that guy is the demon, then we've got to finish him off while he sleeps."

=== Toji Funemoto ===
[[File:Toji Funemoto.jpg|right|100px]]
{{nihongo|'''Toji Funemoto'''|船本透司|Funemoto Tōji}}, age 8, is a boy who bore witness to Rena's motorcycle accident. Vermouth confronted and interrogated him to figure out how much he knew. Gin noticed he was taken into witness protection by the FBI, but Vermouth told Gin he was irrelevant.

=== Tohei Benzaki ===
[[File:Tohei Benzaki.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Tohei Benzaki]] is a single man who inadvertently became a random target in one of Bourbon's plans to further investigate Conan and the FBI. Needing to use his appearance to approach Jodie at a cherry blossom viewing place, Bourbon made Tohei unconscious and disguised as him with Vermouth's help. Unfortunately for Bourbon, Tohei had just been pickpocketed by a female thief and he got caught up in a murder case where she's the victim. After the case is over, Bourbon returned the stolen purse to Tohei's unconscious body and left him to eventually wake up. Some point later, the police arrived at Tohei's apartment to question him about the pickpocketing case but he declared he did not know anything regarding the murder of the pickpocket. At this point it appears that Bourbon and the organization have no further interest in him. It is very unlikely that the real Tohei Benzaki had any involvement in the Teito Bank Heist, instead this backstory was fabricated by Bourbon.

=== Natsuko Shibuya ===
[[File:Natsuko Shibuya.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Natsuko Shibuya]] is a Japanese friend of Jodie's whom she helped in a case while she was studying abroad in America. Tooru Amuro was hired by Shibuya because she was being stalked and they met multiple times. One of these times, Amuro stole her phone and texted Jodie while pretending to be Shibuya, asking Jodie to go out for drinks. Jodie contacted Shibuya back via Camel's phone. Bourbon then planned to have Shibuya get into an accident, possibly by running her over with his car. Before Amuro could attack her himself, another person attacked Shibuya first. When the police came to the accident, they contacted Camel because it was one of the most recent phone numbers used. Vermouth copied Jodie's clothing while Amuro participated in solving the case. Vermouth then lured Jodie and Camel to the hospital by pretending to be a nurse calling in to report that Shibuya's condition had become critical. In the end, Amuro and Vermouth were able to trick Camel into revealing that [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] killed himself. Shibuya was fine in reality and recovered without incident. It is unclear how Amuro found out she was connected to Jodie. Although since he was investigating Conan at the time, and found out that he was involved in some FBI plans, he probably was investigating Jodie, since she was the FBI agent, who was speaking with Conan at the shrine. He also may have had his Japanese Secret Police friends dig up that information for him.

=== Gaito Hotta ===
[[File:Gaito Hotta.jpg|100px|right]]
{{nihongo|'''Gaito Hotta'''|堀田凱人|Hotta Gaito}} was a TV-personality, who claimed to solve cases by connecting with the spirits of the dead. He was exposed as a fraud at one point in connection with a case of a missing person. He then decided to make a comeback by using the mysterious murder case of Kohji Haneda and Amanda Hughes. He made research and discovered that Asaka, the missing bodyguard, had been seen holding a small mirror. He then concluded that Asaka was a woman and wanted to use that in his show. But he was murdered by the director before it could happen. It is not known if the organization wanted to kill him, but they were keeping an eye on him. He appears in [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|Soul Detective Murder Case]].

=== Rokumichi Hado ===
[[File:Rokumichi Hado.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Rokumichi Hado]], age 39, is a Japanese rock musician who took a hiatus seventeen years ago and was investigated by Bourbon and Vermouth because his new single was to be named ASACA, and to finish him if it was. However, he committed suicide for personal reasons. His single "Asaca" was entirely unrelated to Kohji's death seventeen years ago or Asaka. Despite the lack of clues about Asaka or Rum, the case proved that the organization is aware of the decoding of Kohji's dying message and is paranoid about it.

=== Tsutomu Akai ===
[[File:Tsutomu Akai.jpg|right|100px]]
[[Tsutomu Akai]] somehow became involved with the Kohji Haneda case and made enemies which resulted in him having to leave his family behind and send them into hiding. While he is believed to be dead, his body was never actually found.

The elder is the host in an annual festival on the island shrine, with her great-granddaughter as the priestess, and in a raffle gave three people a dugong arrow each, said to give its owner a long life and protection against demons. Because of the elder's supposedly long life and a mysterious legless body corpse found in the fire, who was actually her mother disguised, it has garnered interest of many people around Japan, even from high-up and celebrities. The organization was also interested, sending Gin, Vodka, and Sherry to investigate. After the famous Sleeping Kogoro solved her case along with Heiji, she is arrested by the Fukui police for having killed three childhood friends avenging her mother's death, who was burned alive to prove her immortality. She appears in [[Volume 28#Mermaid's Curse Case|Mermaid's Curse Case]].

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

He was being watched by the organization at that time. Akemi came back as an adult to hide tapes left by her mother for Shiho in the toilet, and afterwards the organization came to investigate secretly. He was killed by one of his three office designers.

It was a very well-paid job. His wife and 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. He, who had never given them his address, vanished forever. His daughter, now a famous detective, only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor, that Karasuma had begun to kill them, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years ago, when Karasuma had already died. A victim of Karasuma's treasure hunting fanaticism, he did solve the riddle and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano. After Conan has finally solved that old case, his daughter, who hasn't ever met Karasuma<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018).</ref> but hated him after learning it, is arrested by the Tokyo police for murder.

{{nihongo|'''Rokumichi Hado'''|波土禄道|Hado Rokumichi}} is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Rokumichi Hado was a japanese music performer who was reknown in the early 2000s as rock single singer. He performed in many concert halls and throughout the whole country. His titles are numerous but stopped suddenly seventeen years prior to the timeline after he took a hiatus. His fans' age range is in the girls aged 14-25 and other young people. The last song he wrote before his death was named '''ASACA''' and not '''ASAKA''' but was still of interest among different people including Conan, Akai and other intelligence people but also to the [[Black Organization]] who thought it was linked to that [[Case from 17 years ago|case]] where famous Shoji player [[Kohji Haneda]] went to the United States play chess but was myseriously killed in his hotel as well as a lady who had wide connections with the CIA named [[Amanda Hughes]]. The main suspect for the case was [[Asaka]], the bodyguard of Hughes and who vanished after. Conan suspected it had a link with the organzation and it was really on it, trying to erase all details from the recently published archives from the seventeen year old case and was targeting Hado to kill him since the song he named ASACA was similar to the name of the bodyguard and he stopped writing it seventeen years ago before finishing the last lyrics and wanting to perform them in public. The tickets sold out quickly and were assured by the Suzuki group with [[Shiro Suzuki]] at his head who decided to invite Ran and his daughter to his rehearsal. He was killed before he could perform and was found hanged in the stage. The organization sent [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and [[Vermouth]] to investigate any links to their organization and to finish Hado if it was but he was killed before so everyone linked to Asaka was there to try to find out the truth (Amuro, Vermouth disguised as [[Azusa Enomoto]], a huge fan of Hado, Conan and [[Shuichi Akai]] as [[Subaru Okiya]]). In fact, his death was a suicide because he couldn't finish the lyrics of his song and was regretful and his manager, who loved him, disguised it as a murder. He was in fact in no link with the organization.

== Appearance ==
Rokumichi is a tall musician usually wearing his leopard striped yellow and purple jacket as a performance trademark and wears a shirt under, burgundy in his last performance. He has spiked unshaved grey-dyed hair which is pretty uncommon among normal people but it is probably inspired by growing tendancies and has a fring sticking out. His eyes are black and he has tan skin.

== Personality ==
Rokumichi was really friendly and despite being able to be stereotyped as a rock guy with no soul and being agressive, he was kind-hearthed and lived his passion for music. He tried the best for Kanae although not being able to fix anything so he committed suicide since he had regrets. He had few friends but could keep his friendship steady.

== Plot overview ==
=== A song named ASACA (Manga: [[Volume 90#A song named ASACA|954-957]], Anime: [[The Betrayal's Stage|866-867]]) ===
Sonoko and Ran were tidying Shinichi's house with Okiya who is now living there and Okiya asks them if they know [[Masumi Sera]] and someone related to her named Asaka. They answer negatively but remind themselves there was an artist, Rokumichi Hado, who just released a song named ASACA and ask Subaru and Conan if they want to come see his rehearsal since Sonoko's father, who sponsored Hado, had proposed to see Rokumichi's rehearsal privately with him and his staff. Intrigued, they accept and go there eventually finding Amuro and Azusa (Vermouth in disguise) already there wanting to see the rehearsal too. In fact, they all want to clear their minds up what is the song about and if it was realted to the seventeen year ago case. Almost uncovering the truth from the musician himself, they open the stage door but find him hanged dead. After thoroughly investigating the case and asking from clues from the forensics officer, they finally find the truth and found out Hado was struggling in life trying to finish the song for Kanae's sake but couldn't so he ended his life. Sad and not wanting to make everyone see the truth, Kanae disguised his suicide but as the truth was revealed, both Fuse and Enjo are sad about it.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
The Black Organization was interested in him since they wanted to know if his new song was related to them as they were really freaking out that there might be a musician that would reveal their situation to the whole country. They then sent Vermouth and Bourbon in to see if he had any connections and to take informations. They also planned to liquidate him if he had even the tiniest of information about them. He himself didn't know about them. The fear of the organization was then unjustified since he wasn't related and the sending of two agents just aggravated their situation as Conan saw through Vermouth's disguise and Amuro being there.

=== Ran Mouri, Sonoko Suzuki, and Azusa Enomoto ===
Both three were avid fans of his music and Sonoko got the highest chance since his father had links to Fuse, his friend and financial adviser. Azusa also likes him but didn't have a chance to see him and she was sad when Ran and Sonoko told her about seeing Hado.

=== Kanae Enjo ===
Kanae was Hado's biggest supporter and ex-girlfriend while he loved her more than his own wife. They lived well together and struggled to rise to fame and had to work in a shipping company together to raise funds. Both were really at love and Hado tried to write his last song to the child he wanted to have with her, a kid he'd name Asaca, "ca" because of the "ca" in "café", the place where he and Enjo met for the first time.

=== Hirokazu Kajiya ===
Hirokazu was one of Hado's biggest fan and worked as a journalist. He always had tried to find a good article to write about someone he admired but the only big case he had found, the truth of his death, will be kept secret by him since he assumes he knows him the best and a heartbreaking suicide story is, in his opinion, not suitable for a rock star like him.

=== Okuyasu Fuse ===
Fuse was Hado's best friend and they got along really well to the point that the latter appointed him manager of his productions although they still argued sometimes.

== Name origin ==
His name comes from a musical genre, [[Wikipedia: Hard rock|hard rock]] (in Japanese Hādo Rokku, ハードロック). The other suspects in the case had names related to other musical genres.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://w.atwiki.jp/aniwotawiki/pages/37342.html|accessdate=2023-05-14|title=裏切りのステージ(名探偵コナン)}}</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Hikaru Hinohara'''|桧原ひかる|Hinohara Hikaru}} is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. A housemaid for the rich doctor [[Hakuya Torakura]], she is one of the prime suspects in the [[Heiji Hattori and the Vampire Mansion|Vampire Mansion Case]], but remains cooperative with Heiji and Conan.

== Background ==
[[File:Keyhole 79.jpg|thumb|left|100px|Hinohara's keyhole appearance.]]
Hikaru Hinohara is a young housemaid working for Hakuya Torakura in his lavish western-style brick mansion in the outskirts of Tokyo, along the border with Gunma and Saitama Prefectures. She is originally thought to be a child from [[Yoko Hinohara]]'s first marriage, before she met Hakuya and married him<ref name="F834">File 834</ref>. She thus saw Hakuya many times as a child and was brought to the mansion to live with him and her mother, where she met the rest of the Torakura siblings<ref name="F839"/>. A few years prior, while she was hospitalized at Torakura General Hospital due to her weak constitution, her mother died in what she thinks is an accident<ref name="F836">File 836</ref>, although this would later be revealed to be murder. Hakuya paid her hospital bills and to repay him a favor, she decided to work for him as a housekeeper<ref name="F836"/>. Following her mother's death, she moved out of the mansion, but Hakuya continued gifting her clothes<ref name="F839"/>. However, the real reason she decided to become a housekeeper was that after she graduated from university, she could not find a job six months prior to the timeline<ref name="F836"/>. Around then, she received a letter from Hakuya proposing her to come work at the mansion and she accepted, needing to find employment<ref name="F836"/>. Since she recently started, she says that she often mixes up while working, having no prior experience<ref name="F836"/>. She works alongside Rikushige Koga, the head butler, at least two other housemaids and several kitchen staff<ref name="F835">File 835</ref>. She took the job opening created by Shimizu's death a few months prior. It is revealed at the end of the case she appears in that she is Hakuya's biological daughter, meaning that she becomes his sole legitimate heir. It is unknown what she does following the murder case with her newly inherited fortune.

== Personality ==
She is described by Rikushige Koga as a cheery person and well-loved by all the staff, despite her inexperience and her tendencies to be clumsy. She also willfully answers Heiji and Conan's questions and is hard-working, never talking back to the family. She keeps her smile despite the family not liking her. Her cheery personality is also supported by the fact she has no filter, like when she admitted to being hungry and eating Ran and Kazuha's gyoza without their permission.

== Appearance ==
Hinohara is a short slender woman with black medium-length hair tied in a hair bun for her work. She has dark eyes and a notable fang-like canine tooth. She is shown wearing a traditional English-style maid uniform, with a white mob cap, a dark turtleneck shirt with a pendant in the middle and a white apron.

== Plot overview ==
=== Vampire's Mansion (Manga: [[Volume 79#Vampire's Mansion|834-840]], Anime: [[Heiji Hattori and the Vampire Mansion|712-715]]) ===
[[file:Hinohara gyoza.png|thumb|300px|Hinohara munching on gyoza.]]
Following Heiji, Kogoro, Conan, Otaki, Ran and Kazuha's arrival at the Torakura mansion to investigate former housemaid Shimizu's death at head butler Rikushige Koga's request, they are served dinner at the mansion, along with the other members of the family. Hinohara arrives in the dining room and asks the family if they were ready for the food to be brought out, as they still seemed to be talking. They acquiesce her and ask her to bring it, but not without making a snide remark at her status as a child from Hakuya's fiancée's first marriage, to which she seems to pay no heed to. She remains close to the guests while dinner is ongoing, making sure everyone is satisfied. As Hakuya was not showing up to eat his meal,Kamiyo Torakura and her lover Johei Hagawa sent Ran and Kazuha to fetch him, but they screamed, seeing him dead disguised as a vampire inside his casket shaped bed. As everyone runs to his room to check on him, they stay there for a while, so Hinohara arrives at the room sometime later to ask the guests if they wanted their food reheated. As the master was still missing, Koga dispatched Hikaru and the other staff to look for him. She later regroups with Conan's group and tells them they have not found him yet.

Trying to find Ran and Kazuha, Heiji and Conan stumble upon Hinohara and decide to ask her about her backstory after hearing the Torakura siblings talk about her mother's relationship with Hakuya Torakura. They do not find the two girls, nor do they find the chefs, and Hinohara explains that they are probably eating their dinner and that she should be joining them, but that since she was looking for Hakuya, she ended up missing her dinner. After her explanations, Hinohara returns to the dining room to serve the Torakura siblings tea, since they received a text message from Hakuya asking them to reconvene there to meet him. She yells after seeing Hakuya's grimly-looking head peering through the windows. After they see blood dripping from the roof, Heiji and Conan rush over and find Asanobu Torakura's body. Hinohara follows them closely behind. Koga then explains the legend behind the Torakura family and the lord impaler. Hinohara wonders how this links with vampires and Mina Torakura explains that [[wikipedia:Bram Stoker|Bram Stoker]] wrote Dracula based off of the real historical figure [[wikipedia:Vlad the Impaler|Vlad the Impaler]]. Koga then brings them to the torture room mentioned in the legend and Hinohara now understands where this room was, as Hakuya had asked her this morning to meet him there and she could not find the torture room. Conan asks her why she could not have asked Koga to help her find it and Hinohara says Hakuya wrote in the text message not to talk to others about it. Heiji and Conan later confine the suspects in the dining room so no else gets killed and ask Hinohara to let them know if anything happens. However, Heiji and Conan's suspicions about Hinohara grow following Koga's confidences and revelations that Yoko Hinohara might have been killed by members of the Torakura family. They decide to chase after her since they think she might have had ulterior motives when getting the job. At the same time, a famished Hinohara stares at Ran and Kazuha with intent. Conan and Heiji, thinking she might do something bad to the girls, rush over to the kitchen, only to find her munching on the girls' freshly cooked gyoza, which she apologizes for. This lowers Conan and Heiji's suspicion of her. Later, she alerts them that a new body has been found, that of Kamiyo.

Following the discovery of Kamiyo's body and the suspects' decision to disperse and not stay in the dining room, Hinohara decides to stick with the young detectives and wonders if Heiji is an assistant of Kogoro, which he is forced to pretend like he is for the time being by Conan. He then hands her his towel from running in the rain to the body so it can be washed. Knowing that Heiji is an experienced detective, she confides in him that when she saw Hakuya's head earlier, she saw that originally, under the curtain, it was upright, but when the curtains were pulled, it was upside down, and she wanted them to figure that out for her. This makes them realize the truth behind the trick. She later fills them in on the relationships between the siblings and reveals that she sent every one of them an email when she started working at the mansion and Heiji and Conan realize when Hakuya wanted her to go to the torture room to meet, he sent it by email. Later, Hinohara brings refreshments to the family members. Later, Hinohara receives a new message from Hakuya and figures she must meet him after all. However, she is stopped by Koga. She ends up still going to the dark torture room and is taken by surprise by a mysterious figure, who is taken down by Ran. This was in fact a fake Hinohara, who was Kazuha in disguise and the real one had been hidden safely. The real culprit is in fact Johei Hagawa, who intercepted Hakuya's message intended for Hinohara and carried Hakuya's murder plan for him. Hakuya committed suicide to make the plan possible and he wanted Hinohara to take revenge on those who killed Yoko. However, Hagawa took advantage of this and killed Kamiyo and Asanobu to secure his share of the inheritance by marrying Mina after he would have killed Hinohara. This is why she only received the message later and could not get to the torture room. After Hagawa is captured, it is revealed that Hinohara is Hakuya's daughter.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Hakuya Torakura ===
Despite many of the other staff describing Hakuya as a strict master, she does not feel the same way, saying that he has not scolded her and she feels even more respect for him because he paid for her hospital bills and her surgery many years ago. This is because he deeply cares for her because she is his daughter and he spread rumors that he did not like her to others like Koga so they do not find out the truth. He loved her so much he crafted a murder plot for her to carry out to avenge her mother, but left a note at the end so it is up to her to do it or not. Heiji and Conan theorize that with her good-natured personality, she most likely would not have carried it out.

=== Yoko Hinohara ===
Hikaru lived with her mother prior to her mother's death and did not live with her father, although Hakuya describes her as looking like her father<ref name="F837"/>. However, this is not true and only a deflection from Hakuya, who saw Hikaru as a spitting image of Yoko. Following her mother's death, it is unknown with whom she lived with after.

=== Other members of the Torakura family ===
Hinohara is looked at coldly by many members of the Torakura family since her arrival at the mansion as a housemaid, many seeing her as potentially threatening their stake in Hakuya's inheritance. They however do not care as much, thinking that she is a child from before Hakuya started dating Yoko Hinohara. She however does not think much of their comments and remains diligent at her job.

== Name origin ==
Her name, just like the names of the other employees of Torakura Mansion, is related to vampires' weaknesses<ref>http://mysteriouscolors.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-18.html</ref>. Hikaru Hinohara thus comes from {{nihongo|"sunlight"|日の光|hi no hikaru}}.

{{nihongo|'''Katsuhiko Yamane'''|山根勝彦|Yamane Katsuhiko}}, age 36, is a character in the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[anime]]. He is a police detective for the Tottori Prefectural Police stationed at Kurayoshi and works alongside [[Ryo Okamoto]].

== Background ==
Katsuhiko Yamane is a Tottori native living in Kurayoshi City and has been active in the police force since before [[Kogoro Mouri]] retired. When Kogoro was still an active detective, he was once sent on a joint robbery investigation to Tottori Prefecture, where he worked alongside a then rookie Katsuhiko Yamane. He is a senior detective at the Kurayoshi Police Station, since he has many subordinates<ref name="EP1191">Episode 1191</ref>.

He is tall and strong-looking man with short black hair and big eyebrows. He has small eyes and a long nose. He is only seen wearing police plain clothes, but is shown wearing a yukata when at the onsen with Kogoro and Okamoto.

== Personality ==
Yamane is usually seen smiling, although he is much more serious when actively working. He is diligent when working and takes the lead during the investigation while relaying information to Kogoro and the people involved. He also works proactively, despite not showing great deductive abilities, but is still able to reach conclusions when teaming with Kogoro and Okamoto.

=== Tottori Sand Dunes Mystery Tour (Anime: [[Tottori Sand Dunes Mystery Tour|801-802]]) ===
[[file:EP801 Yamane Mouri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yamane and Kogoro meet again.]]
When Kogoro, Ran and Conan stroll around Kurayoshi in the late evening, they see a police car zooming by with flashing sirens, before stopping in front of a lavish mansion. Yamane and Okamoto just received a call from Shuko Kumado, who reported a robbery at the house. When exiting the car, Yamane recognizes Kogoro and decides to let him help him with the robbery investigation. He instructs Okamoto to first go into the house before filling him in with the case details. Inside, they untie the captive Shuko and Yamane comforts her. Later, Okamoto, Kogoro and Yamane interrogate the suspects and gather information to find the culprit behind the robbery. After learning about the existence of a new suspect in the person of Naomi Senda, Yamane and Okamoto come fetch her and bring her to the Kumado Residence to interrogate her with the rest of the involved people. Despite there being high tension between the Kumados and Senda, Yamane and Okamoto do little to defuse the situation, and Kogoro takes the lead, which hints towards Yamane and Okamoto still lacking long-term experience in tough cases.

Later, the stolen item is returned, which surprises everyone, including Yamane and Okamoto. The two detectives convene with Kogoro to try to dig more information on the suspects and later meet at a local restaurant to discuss the suspects' alibis. They are left stumped when they realize every suspect has an alibi. Later, during Kogoro's deduction, a fictional sequence featuring Yamane and Okamoto comforting the culprit is shown. At the end, the true culprit is arrested at the sand dunes and Yamane thanks Kogoro for solving the case and salutes him.

=== The Lover Who Vanished on Pont Koitani (Anime: [[The Lover Who Vanished on Pont Koitani|1190-1191]]) ===
This time, Yamane and Okamoto do not meet Kogoro because of a case, but instead because they happen to stay at the same inn in Misasa Onsen. Yamane and Okamoto recently caught a serial robber and rewarded themselves with a stay at the hot springs. Kogoro enjoys the late-night dinner with them, teaching them about how to solve cases, while they eagerly listen. The next day, when one of the inn's employees goes missing, Kogoro directs both of them to help with the search and Yamane dispatches Okamoto to get backup at the Misasa substation. Later, they start searching for the missing person across the prefecture, including at Daisen-ji, a temple at the foothills of Mount Daisen. When he calls Kogoro to give him an update, he jokes to him that he is probably gone off to buy some crab to eat, which he is spot on, but Kogoro does not tell him he is right. Kogoro, Conan and Ran convene to meet with the two detectives at Tottori Station and Kogoro exposes his reasoning. Afterwards, they head back to Kurayoshi where they corner Yasuto Utsubuki, the missing person's boyfriend and force him to reveal that he had planned a fake disappearance with her.

When they head back to the place the missing person is hiding, they do not find her. Going back to the inn to reveal the truth about the hoax, they realize that Sachiyo Yumemiya, the victim, was kidnapped for real this time as they receive a recorded ransom video from the kidnapper. Yamane and Okamoto then coordinate prefecture-wide roadblocks in hopes of stopping the kidnapper. Kogoro later asks Yamane for the piece of evidence found in the place Sachiyo was hiding and matches it to the inn's personalized envelopes, thus revealing that the culprit is among the people at the inn. Following this revelation, Kogoro and the two detectives interrogate the suspects for their alibis, Yamane explaining the timeline for her kidnapping found from security camera footage. They later listen to the recordings from the ransom messages along with the forensics team. After Kazuko Yumemiya, the inn's manager, accepts to give the ransom money, Yamane and Okamoto coordinate with the bank to gather said money. However, Conan and Kogoro then figure out the truth.

At night, everyone gathers to arrest the culprit at Hakuto Beach, where Sachiyo is being held, and Yasuto, Yamane and Okamoto tackle down the culprit and restrain them. Kogoro quickly breaks down the culprit's modus operandi and how they kidnapped Sachiyo. However, when they are about to be brought into the police car, Kogoro is knocked out by Conan. Yamane realizes that the case is not solved and that the real mastermind has not been revealed yet. The real mastermind, once revealed, takes Sachiyo hostage and runs to the shore, and Yamane and Okamoto run after them. After Conan knocks out the weapon from the culprit's hand with his power shoes, Yamane is able to apprehend the culprit.

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Kogoro Mouri ===
Since meeting the great detective many years ago when working together, Yamane has been impressed with Kogoro's work and became a big fan, especially since the advent of Sleeping Kogoro. He listens to him religiously and does not hesitate to let him get involved in the investigation. He is often seen nodding when Kogoro makes a statement. In return, Kogoro trusts him and Okamoto to cooperate with him and dispatches them to help the investigation, which he has since taken over. They also have friendly banter between each other, especially shown when they get drunk at the ryokan and Kogoro calls him without honorifics, showing proximity between both of them.

=== Ryo Okamoto ===
Depiste their 10-year age gap, Yamane and Okamoto are inseparable sidekicks, working together at all times and even answering in sync. However, Yamane being the superior, Okamoto listens to his orders without hesitation, which shows that he trusts his superior.

| style="vertical-align: top" | [[File:EP1191 Yamane.jpg|thumb|left|x200px|Episodes 1191]]
|}

== Trivia ==
* Yamane's rank is not explicitly stated, but seeing that Okamoto refers to him as chief and that he is not referred to as an inspector, he is probably an assistant inspector, while Okamoto would be a sergeant.
* Yamane and Okamoto's police car is a black Subaru Impreza GV. The license plate is 倉吉 301 す 86・57 (Kurayoshi 301, Su 86-57).
* Despite his first name having been revealed in his introductory suspects' box, he is credited as "Detective Yamane" (山根刑事) in episodes 801-802. He is nevertheless credited under his full name in episodes 1190-1191.
* He is the first police detective from Tottori Prefecture to appear, although [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department|Tokyo MPD]] detective Chosuke Takagi was sent to Tottori in [[file 450]], but it is unknown if he is still in Tottori in the current timeline.

Later, they start searching for the missing person across the prefecture, including at Daisen-ji, a temple at the foothills of Mount Daisen. Kogoro, Conan and Ran convene to meet with the two detectives at Tottori Station and Kogoro exposes his reasoning. Afterwards, they head back to Kurayoshi where they corner Yasuto Utsubuki, the missing person's boyfriend and force him to reveal that he had planned a fake disappearance with her.

When they head back to the place the missing person is hiding, they do not find her. Okamoto and Conan find a pink-colored piece of paper, which he keeps as evidence.

At night, everyone gathers to arrest the culprit at Hakuto Beach, where Sachiyo is being held, and Yasuto, Yamane and Okamoto tackle down the culprit and restrain them. Kogoro quickly breaks down the culprit's modus operandi and how they kidnapped Sachiyo.

After Conan knocks out the weapon from the culprit's hand with his power shoes, the culprit is apprehended and Okamoto leads them away.

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Kogoro Mouri ===
Okamoto has never met Kogoro Mouri before the Kumado family case, but heard about him many times from Yamane. At first, he does not seem particularly interested by Kogoro, but as the case progresses, he becomes a loyal disciple of the detective. Their camaraderie persists, as when they meet again at the traditional Yumemiya Inn, they all join Kogoro in a late-night dinner fueled with alcohol and religiously listen to him talk about how to be a detective.

=== Katsuhiko Yamane ===
Depiste their 10-year age gap, Yamane and Okamoto are inseparable sidekicks, working together at all times and even answering in sync. However, Yamane being the superior, Okamoto listens to his orders without hesitation, which shows that he trusts his superior.

Heiji and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] hear her sibling Satoshi Kawaguchi's deduction about the truth between the goal of the Red Siamese Cat, a terrorist group, and he deduces that they threathened to spread the virus in Nara from upon the [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Suzuki]] airship they had taken over, so Nara citizens would escape to Osaka and that the city would be quickly deserted, making the way clear for them to steal the buddha statues at a shrine which were worth millions of yen and could be sold easily overseas and difficultly retraced, because the monks would have left the shrine escorted by fake policemen who were in fact members of the terrorist group.

Shortly after the murder of a beach house manager, Yokomizo, Tsukumo, and the forensics team arrive at the scene and quickly analyse the body. Conan then interrupts them and corrects them, and Yokomizo introduces him to the young detective. He assists the interrogation and runs a few errands to check details with forensics. Before they can bring the framed suspect away, Conan interrupts them and deduces who the true culprit is, which impresses him. After the case is solved, he and the police leave with the body and the murderer that just confessed.

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Sango Yokomizo ===
He has a high respect for his superior [[Sango Yokomizo|Yokomizo]] and believes what he says, even following with his eyes to see if Kogoro was there just as the former said. Since he is probably still in training, he follows Yokomizo closely.

=== Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===
He at first questions whether [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]] actually are detectives and even suggests that they should leave the premises. After the deduction show, he is rather impressed.

[[file:YuminagaOnGenda.png|thumb|100px|Yuminaga thinking about the suspect Genda.]]
He investigates a string of arsons committed by a culprit who leaves red horse dolls at the crime scene. After [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]]'s client dies in the fourth fire, he meets the group, including Kogoro, whom he had worked with back when they were officers. Throughout the case, he vehemently believes the prime suspect, Takanori Genda, is innocent as he witnessed first-hand the man's obsessiveness in preventing possible fires. As a relatively competent inspector, he often listened to Heiji and Conan's observations and plans, and even took part in the final deduction. In the end, he cited the two boys as the true heroes of the case.

== Plot overview ==
=== Shintoist Temple Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#Shintoist Temple Case|1067-1069]], Anime: [[The Inauspicious Matchmaking|1085-1086]]) ===
[[file:EP1085-10.jpeg|thumb|left|200px|Heiji pretends to be Hyouga Koumoto.]]
After Kazuha and Ran go to Haido Shrine to get lucky charms, Heiji follows his love interest and decides to get lucky charms as well since his many attempts at confessing went awry. He disguises himself with a fox-mask so Kazuha does not recognize him<ref name="F1067"/>. However, Conan, who tagged along Ran and Kazuha, quickly recognizes him, and decides to give him his [[voice-changing bowtie]] to help him fake his voice. Kazuha and Ran notice Conan talking with Heiji and mistake the latter for Hyouga Koumoto, as Heiji imputed a random voice in the voice-changer, and Heiji decides to go along with pretending to be Koumoto, with the girls deciding to keep his identity secret from his fans<ref name="F1067"/>. After a murder occurs, seeing "Koumoto" notice clues from the crime scene and deduce the culprit's actions, Kazuha becomes wary of the fake "Koumoto"<ref name="F1068">[[File 1068]]</ref>.

After the case is solved, the real Hyouga Koumoto is noticed by fans trying to buy lucky charms at the shrine, and Kazuha uses the opportunity to call Heiji out<ref name="F1069"/>. Koumoto tries to push back his fan's suspicions that he is buying charms for his relationship with Mikage by saying that he was simply there for his shrine stamp collection<ref name="F1069"/>.

=== Detective Play Director Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 102#Detective Play Director Murder Case|1088-1090]], Anime: [[Momiji Ooka's Sweet Trap|1135-1136]]) ===
While meeting the director and his staff for the future writing of a play based on them, Kogoro and Heiji head over to that same director's house in [[Kyoto]] and discuss about it. The producer mentions about casting Koumoto as Heiji's character while casting Kenzaki as Kogoro's character<ref>[[File 1088]]</ref>.

=== Detective Play Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 106#Detective Play Murder Case|1129-1133]], Anime: [[The Crimson Closing Day|1214-1216]]) ===
[[file:Koumoto as Heiichi Hattori.jpg|thumb|200px|Hyouga Koumoto as Heiichi Hattori.]]
Along with famous actor [[Osamu Kenzaki]], Koumoto plays Heiichi Hattori (based on Heiji), one of the two protagonists of a new play by Kyousuke Kabumoto and sponsored by [[Momiji Ooka]], which adapts the real-life experience of [[Kogoro Mouri]] and Heiji as a love story<ref name="F1129">[[File 1129]]</ref>. At the end of the play's premiere, which the real-life detectives attended, Koumoto meets with them backstage<ref name="F1129"/>. While Kogoro enjoyed the play overall, Heiji seemed to be less pleased about it. Kogoro also praised Koumoto's performance, but did not understand that Koumoto was a co-star with Kenzaki and thought that the former was a supporting character<ref name="F1129"/>. After chatting a bit with Kogoro and Heiji's group, Koumoto and Kenzaki explain that they have very busy schedules and that the premiere was the only time they will appear together, and that they have stand-ins for when will not be on stage<ref name="F1129"/>. Later, a serial murder case occurs, and several members of the cast are killed. Kenzaki and Koumoto are removed from the suspect list since they were giving interviews when the first victim died. They later gave their testimonies at the police station and it is unknown whether the play continued to be shown afterwards<ref name="F1130"/>.

== Name origin ==
Like the other character that were introduced in the same case he first appeared in, his name comes from an animal, in this case, the {{nihongo|leopard|ヒョウ|hyō}}. His name is also contrasted with that of Usagi Mikage, as his last name contains the [[wikipedia:kanji|kanji]] for {{nihongo|light|光|kō}}, whilst her last name contains the kanji for {{nihongo|shadow|影|kage}}<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mysteriouscolors.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-24.html|accessdate=2023-06-18|title=青山先生のもじり方【９１巻～１００巻】}}</ref>.

He is also inspired from [[wikipedia:ja:京本大我|Taiga Kyoumoto]] (京本大我), member of the idol group [[Wikipedia: SixTones|SixTONES]] and a fan of the Detective Conan series, and [[Wikipedia: Koichi Domoto|Koichi Domoto]] (堂本光一), member of the duo [[Wikipedia: KinKi Kids|KinKi Kids]]. Naniwa Kids (浪花キッズ) comes from the duo KinKi Kids (Kinki (近畿) is the region in which the Naniwa Ward of Osaka is situated) and the boys band [[Wikipedia: Naniwa Danshi|Naniwa Danshi]] (なにわ男子)<ref>https://enjoy-honey3.com/taiga-konan/#%E5%A0%82%E6%9C%AC%E5%85%89%E4%B8%80%E3%81%A8%E3%81%AE%E5%85%B1%E9%80%9A%E7%82%B9%E2%91%A2%E5%87%BA%E8%BA%AB%E5%9C%B0</ref>.

{{nihongo|'''Kaitou Corbeau'''|怪盗コルボー|Kaitō Korubō}} is a supporting character in ''[[Magic Kaito]]''. An enigmatic phantom thief who recently emerged in [[Setting/Cities and Towns|Las Vegas]], he dresses the same as [[Kaitou Kid]], but in all-black, and bears a striking resemblance with [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]]'s father [[Toichi Kuroba|Toichi]], who is supposed to be dead.

== Background ==
Kaitou Corbeau is a now famous phantom thief mainly operating in Las Vegas and the rest of the United States, who gained fame shortly prior to the [[timeline]]<ref name="MK33">Magic Kaito file 33</ref>. His modus operandi is similar to that of the Japanese Kaitou Kid, as he issues a notice written in formal speech before stealing a jewel using non-violent methods. He always leaves a trail of crow feathers after stealing his loot<ref name="MK31"/>. His rival is the magic debunker and now retired magician [[Harry Nezu]], who will show up every time Corbeau issues a notice.

He pretends to have trained under [[Toichi Kuroba]] before his death 8 years prior to the timeline<ref name="MK32"/>, but [[Chikage Kuroba|Chikage]], Toichi's wife, had no memories of a younger disciple<ref name="MK32"/>.

== Appearance ==
Kaitou Corbeau is a tall and slender thief, though to be male from his voice, similar to that of Toichi Kuroba{{note|group="N"|His voice actor Shuichi Ikeda also voices Toichi Kuroba.}}. He wears completely black suit with a grey tie and a black cape, along with a black top hat and a dark monocle on his right eye, the only thing that shines from his outfit, the complete opposite of Kaitou Kid's outfit. His figure is completely dark, but it can be noticed that he has a thin mustache and dark eyes.

== Personality ==
Kaitou Corbeau is a sly and cunning person, able to confront them mentally and deceiving others easily, must-have qualities for thieves. He speaks in a polite manner, similar to the deceased Toichi Kuroba.

== Abilities ==
Kaitou Corbeau has the same outfit as Kaitou Kid, but an improved version, as he says himself<ref name="MK32"/>. His cape acts like a [[Hang Glider Cape|hang glider]] just like Kid's, but also acts like a bulletproof shield<ref name="MK33"/>. Kaitou Corbeau is also a master of disguise, able to blend in the dark due to his outfit and disguise himself as another person, like Harry Nezu (who was also disguised as Kaitou Corbeau escaping using the hang glider), and possibly Toichi Kuroba<ref name="MK33"/>. In movie 27, he also disguises as detective [[Yoshihisa Kawazoe]]<ref name="M27">Movie 27</ref>.

He is also a strong marksman, being able to shoot the sprinklers with Kid's [[Card Gun]] from afar<ref name="MK33"/>. In movie 27, he is also the one who shot Brian D. Kadokura<ref name="M27"/>.

== Plot overview ==
=== Midnight Crow (Manga: [[Magic Kaito Volume 5#Midnight Crow|31-33]], 1412: [[Midnight Crow|23-24]]) ===
[[file:Corbeau real face.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kaitou Corbeau shows his "real face".]]
Following Kaitou Kid's failure at stealing the [[Midnight Crow (jewel)|Midnight Crow]] in Tokyo, world's largest black diamond, due to Harry Nezu's instructions, Kid sends a second notice to get his revenge<ref name="MK31"/>. Meanwhile, Kaitou Corbeau is on the move, as he sends a notice to the [[Tokyo MPD]] announcing that he will target the jewel (too), which is what prompted Nezu to go to Japan, to track Corbeau<ref name="MK31"/>. The night before the heist, Corbeau finds Kid and taunts him, saying that Kid is copying him, and that since both of them pretend to be successors to Toichi Kuroba, then the one who manages to steal the diamond can continue to steal, while the one who did not has to stop<ref name="MK32"/>. Kid accepts the challenge<ref name="MK32"/>.

Kid first pretends to bail out and sends a notice he will not be stealing the Midnight Crow<ref name="MK32"/>. Later that night, despite their security measures, Corbeau seemingly manages to steal the diamond, as all the remained in the case was a coin with Corbeau's trademark crow symbol, along with a trail of black feathers<ref name="MK32"/>. However, Nezu reveals he swapped the diamond just before the heist and so Corbeau was not able to steal the real diamond<ref name="MK32"/>. Kid, who assisted to the scene disguised as a riot policeman, seemed to have understood Corbeau's trick<ref name="MK32"/>.

The next night, the two thieves have a rematch, with crowds supporting both thieves outside the premises<ref name="MK33"/>. That night, after the police decided to check the air vents to make sure the crow feathers would not come out again, they still came out. It was because they were stuck beforehand with one side painted white and one side with the original black color on the ceilings, and when the temperature dropped, they fell by themselves. As the police panick, they check the diamond and it was replaced by a coin again<ref name="MK33"/>. However, Nezu shrugs it off, saying that he did the same trick twice and swapped the diamond before the heist, but what he pulls from his jacket is just a coal lump, which surprises him<ref name="MK33"/>. They then see Corbeau escaping outside with his hang-glider holding the diamond, and they feel like they lost the incident<ref name="MK33"/>. The police then run after Corbeau outside<ref name="MK33"/>. As only Nezu and a riot police officer remained in the room, that same police officer revealed himself to be Kaitou Kid, and exposed Nezu as being Corbeau's accomplice and revealing where the diamond really was<ref name="MK33"/>. Nezu then admits his defeat and escapes, telling that other people have been waiting over there, who are in fact [[Snake]] and his henchmen<ref name="MK33"/>.

Kaitou Corbeau then arrives to help Kid fend off the [[Magic Kaito Organization]] and shows his real face to Kid, revealing himself to look exactly like Toichi Kuroba, which angers Kid<ref name="MK33"/>. He then shields Kid while the Organization shoots at them, and neutralizes them by shooting at the sprinklers and getting all wet and icy from the refrigerated room<ref name="MK33"/>. Both thieves then escape using their hang glider capes and their match seemed to have ended in a draw<ref name="MK33"/>.

== Non-Canon Plot overview ==
=== The Revived Phantom Thief (1412: [[The Revived Phantom Thief Kid|1]]) ===
As Kaitou Kid escapes from the heist location, Kid notices a black figure standing on top of a construction site watching him, before escaping in the dark<ref>MK1412 episode 1</ref>.

=== The Million-dollar Pentagram (Movie: [[The Million-dollar Pentagram|27]]) ===
Kaitou Corbeau disguises as Hokkaido Police detective Yoshihisa Kawazoe to keep an eye on Kaitou Kid<ref name="M27"/>. During the entire duration of the case, the real Kawazoe was away and Corbeau was the one disguised as Kawazoe<ref name="M27"/>. He mentions the local legends of Hakodate as a hint to Conan. Near the end of the case, he saves Conan and Ryoe Fukushiro, who were about to be shot by Brian D. Kadokura<ref name="M27"/>.

At the end of the case, "Kawazoe" stands on a tower and removes his disguise, showing Kaitou Corbeau, and writes back to ''his twin brother'' (Toichi's), [[Yusaku Kudo]], implying that Corbeau and Toichi are the same person<ref name="M27"/>.

== Potential identities ==
=== Toichi Kuroba ===
Toichi Kuroba is hinted to be Kaitou Corbeau, as both have the same stature, looks and voice, but these can all be altered with modifications, like a voice changer and disguise. However, his protective attitude towards could be a hint to him being his father. In movie 27, there is a clear hint that Toichi is Corbeau, since he replies back to Yusaku's message after Yusaku told his [[Yukiko Kudo|wife]] that he was writing to his brother. This is however not confirmed in the manga yet.

=== Chikage Kuroba ===
Chikage, Kaito's mother, was another close contender for being Kaitou Corbeau, as she knew he was wearing heated pads to protect himself for the cold during the heist, which only Corbeau should have known. She is also currently living in Las Vegas, the same location as Corbeau.

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Kaitou Kid ===
Kid and Corbeau have a rivalry as both are phantom thieves with similar outfits and names and both strive to be like Toichi Kuroba. Corbeau however has a protective attitude towards Kid and seems to have some affinity for him, which can be seen when he comes back to scene to protect him from Snake, and later in movie 27, when he disguises as Kawazoe to keep an eye on Kid. His condescending attitude towards Kid, calling him a mere copy of him, can be to help him build character, which Kid does not seem to realize.

=== Harry Nezu ===
Harry Nezu is a good partner of Corbeau's, and follows him around the world to help him prepare tricks. Nezu pretends to reveal magicians' tricks, but this is all a publicity stunt to help these magicians get more people to see them. He is to Kaitou Corbeau who [[Konosuke Jii]] is to Kaitou Kid and knows very well how Corbeau operates.

== Name origin ==
Kaitou Corbeau's name is inspired from Kaitou Kid's name, as both contain the word "Kaitō" (怪盗), meaning "Phantom Thief". The second part of his name "corbeau" is the French word for [[crow]]<ref name="MK31">Magic Kaito file 31</ref>, a recurring theme in the ''[[Detective Conan]]'' [[manga]] that represents darkness and the [[Black Organization]]. He is shown with crows (black), in opposition to Kaitou Kid, who is shown with doves (white).

== Trivia ==
* The character was first designed by [[Gosho Aoyama]] with [[Studios|A1 Pictures]] for the release of the [[Magic Kaito 1412]] anime, along with the entire "Midnight Crow" arc, which was supposed to be the climax of the series. This is how he was able to be shown in a cameo in episode 1, despite not appearing in the original chapter it adapted.
