The producers did this intentionally so that no one could look up what other characters that voice actor might play.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | english-voice = [[Chris Cason]] (Bang Zoom!) &lt;br&gt; [[Alex Teixeira]] (Macias Group)<br /> }}<br /> {{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}}, alias {{nihongo|'''Kanenori Wakita'''|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}}, is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]].<br /> <br /> == Background ==<br /> Rum is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the close aide of [[Renya Karasuma]]. He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. About sixty-seven years ago, he was only a child. He was involved in the United States' [[Case from 17 years ago|murder case]] of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br /> <br /> Currently disguised as Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also a rude and intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself: e.g. he ordered to kill [[Rumi Wakasa|Wakasa]] only because of his suspicious. He is a cigar smoker and has always wanted to try show at least once.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] (&quot;child of Tokyo&quot;), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br /> Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in a snake.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical gauze dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br /> <br /> Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br /> <br /> == Abilities ==<br /> He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English, which indicates that he's well educated.<br /> <br /> His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Rum &lt;br&gt; Uncle (''Oji-san'') &lt;br&gt; Wakita Kanenori-san|Conan-kun}}<br /> {{appellations|Shinichi Kudo|Rum|Kudo Shinichi}}<br /> {{appellations|Kogoro Mouri|Wakita-san|Mouri Kogoro &lt;br&gt; Master Kogoro (''Kogorou-shishou'') &lt;br&gt; Customer (''Okyaku-san'') &lt;br&gt; Sleeping Kogoro-sama (''Nemuri no Kogoro-sama'') &lt;br&gt; Kogoro-san &lt;br&gt; Kogoro}}<br /> {{appellations|Ran Mouri|Wakita-san|-}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Black Organization&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Renya Karasuma|file=Renya Karasuma 60px.jpg|-|Ano kata}}<br /> {{appellations|Gin|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vodka|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vermouth|Rum|Vermouth}}<br /> {{appellations|Chianti|Rum &lt;br&gt; Ramu-san|Chianti}}<br /> {{appellations|Korn|Rum|Korn}}<br /> {{appellations|Akemi Miyano|-|Miyano Akemi}}<br /> {{appellations|Curaçao|Rum|Curaçao}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Law enforcement&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Shuichi Akai|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Subaru Okiya|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Jodie Starling|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|James Black|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Andre Camel|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Hidemi Hondou|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Rei Furuya|Rum|Bourbon}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Others&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Ai Haibara|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Yusaku Kudo|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Iroha Sushi Chef|file=Chefsushi.png|-|Boss}}<br /> {{appellations|Yoko Okino|Wakita-san|Okino Yoko-san}}<br /> {{appellations|Kohji Haneda|-|Haneda Kohji &lt;br&gt; Mr. Haneda &lt;br&gt; Haneda}}<br /> {{appellations|Rumi Wakasa|-|Wakasa-sensei &lt;br&gt; Rachel Asaka &lt;br&gt; Asaka}}<br /> {{appellations|Amanda Hughes|file=Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|Rum|Amanda}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;/tabs&gt;<br /> <br /> == Plot overview ==<br /> === Foreign Suspect Case (Manga: [[Volume 58#Foreign Suspect Case|607]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black#Friday the Thirteenth (Manga: 605-609, Anime: 501-504)|502]]) ===<br /> [[File:EP782-6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum vs. Akai and Camel.]]<br /> Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br /> <br /> === Scarlet Showdown (Manga: [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|896]], Anime: [[The Scarlet Return|782]]) ===<br /> Camel is reminded of the old man.<br /> <br /> === Scriptwriter Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Scriptwriter Murder Case|906-908]], Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===<br /> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes his three [[&quot;The Criminal&quot;|black figure]]s, just like Conan later in the anime version with fake eyes.<br /> <br /> === Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br /> Conan visualizes Rum as a black figure, just like his three black figures with fake eyes later in the anime version.<br /> <br /> === Interchanged Betting Ticket Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Interchanged Betting Ticket Case|975-977]], Anime: [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|894-895]]) ===<br /> Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br /> <br /> === Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case|980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br /> Wakita is seen reading a Nichiuri newspaper, but it's not showed what article. He comments about Wakasa that &quot;this one is quick-witted&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===<br /> After the murders case that occurred back at Kyoto is solved, Wakita is seen reading an article that mentions Shinichi's involvement in the case and took an interest of his return. In the anime, this was adapted in the next case.<br /> <br /> === Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br /> Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===<br /> Wakita joins Conan, Kogoro, and [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] to Nagano mountains after receiving a request about investigating a suicide case in an old church. He mention that he hated betrayal, like trader selling some old fish in a high price while they were on the train. Upon reaching the church they are joined by some people. It is soon revealed that someone has assembled all of them together keeping their identity secret. Next they are trapped inside the church and two of the people were killed. They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up. After they are rescue from the church, he introduce himself as Kogoro's apprentice along with Amuro to Nagano prefecture police inspector, [[Taka'aki Morofushi|Morofushi]].<br /> <br /> === Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br /> Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br /> <br /> === FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: [[The Black Organization's Scheme|1078-1080]]) ===<br /> After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br /> <br /> === Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. His indirect presence heavily triggered [[Haibara]]'s anxiety, causing [[Conan]] to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. [[Rumi]] then menacingly watches [[Wakita]] leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br /> <br /> === Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Before the heist, Wakita asked Conan if there was anything strange about the teacher who glaring at him while he was making deliveries. Conan chooses not to reveal anything to him, despite his observations, answering that Rumi was just a normal, clumsy teacher.<br /> <br /> === Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> After Wakita learns from Kogoro that Rumi is at a chess tournament in [[Haido]], Rum drives to the building without disguise. He parks his car on a street within sight of here. His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon plot overview ==<br /> === The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br /> Rum doesn't appear directly:<br /> * Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br /> * Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br /> * When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br /> * Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br /> <br /> === Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br /> <br /> == Hints that Rum is Kanenori Wakita ==<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;<br /> * He may be able to fit all three descriptions of Rum, even though it was revealed that they are just a rumor planted by himself so better conceal his identity. He wears a patch over his left eye, which may conceal a prosthetic, and has still it despite saying that it will heal. Both of the other suspects, Kuroda and Wakasa, apparently have their right eye blind/prosthetic, which is why he stands out among them.<br /> * He has an interest in Sleeping Kogoro, just like Gin, while Wakasa and Kuroda personally have more interest in Conan. On top of that, since it was Sleeping Kogoro that solved the murder behind the occult detective who try to solve Kohji Haneda's murder case, it is only natural Rum's main focus and interest would be on Kogoro, because he wants to stop him from investigating the truth behind that murder at all cost. He took an interest in reports of Shinichi's return and even tried to visit his house.<br /> * Rum in text messages has twice used the English phrase &quot;Time is money&quot;, which can be translated into Japanese as &quot;時は金なり&quot;, whose Romanization &quot;Toki wa kane nari&quot; is an anagram of &quot;Wakita Kanenori&quot;, which is a nonsense alias just like Bourbon said.<br /> * He can be deceptive. As of now, he has yet to meet Haibara and communicate with her directly in any cases, making him the primary suspect to have a different response compared to Kuroda and Wakasa when seeing her later. However, in file 1072, Haibara felt the aura of organization and, at that time, Wakita was riding a motorbike passed Teitan Elementary School.<br /> * Like Bourbon, whose workplace was just a floor under Mouri detective agency, his workplace is one of Kogoro's favourite hangout places, which is just next door to it. This in turn allows him to move around freely and observe Kogoro's or his associates' movement much closely, without the need of using complex disguise like Vermouth and raising any suspicions to almost anyone, since public would believe he is a normal sushi seller that goes around delivering it to customers when being compared to Wakasa and Kuroda. Even if there is no customers that ordered sushi for delivery, he can easily fake an order to his own shop, thus allowing him to leave it either way, just like when he can investigate Shinichi.<br /> * When Amuro, Conan, Kogoro, and Wakita were on the train to Nagano mountain, he said that he hated betrayal, which seemingly meant he sensed that Bourbon betrayed him by sending him fake information about Shinichi's death. He completely snapped when the suspects started badmouthing Kogoro's actions after checking the victim's condition, something that Bourbon hinted afterwards that Rum is an impatient person. What's more interesting, after the whole case had been solved, Morofushi came to them and pretended he didn't know Amuro by shaking hands with Kogoro, asking him who these two men were, although Taka'aki had met him before when [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] was still alive. Presumably, Kuroda ordered Taka'aki calling him to help Amuro by acting as a stranger in front of Wakita, so that his true identity as an undercover agent working for the NPA could be hidden. Before leaving, Taka'aki didn't forget to mention a saying which was similar to &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> * In his debut, he even mentioned that he is a drifter, which may hint that he never stays in one place very long, so that he can go where ever the Black Organization or boss needs him to be to investigate an important matter, and if necessary to take care of the problem, and then disappear quickly. A customer asked what happened to the regular waiter, and he answered that he was in an accident, which was probably arranged, so that he can have this job to spy on the Mouri detective agency, and in particular Kogoro. One of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Renya Karasuma ====<br /> [[Renya Karasuma]] is his direct superior, meaning that Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. He has Karasuma's support to do activities, such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world, in order to strengthen the organization. About forty-seven years ago, he appeared at the International Economic Forum's Annual General Meeting on behalf of Karasuma, who was absent due to poor health. However, he is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br /> <br /> ==== Gin ====<br /> [[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br /> <br /> ==== Vermouth ====<br /> Rum suggested a level of trust in [[Vermouth]]'s judgement.<br /> <br /> ==== Chianti ====<br /> <br /> ==== Korn ====<br /> <br /> ==== Curaçao ====<br /> [[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br /> <br /> ==== Pinga ====<br /> [[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br /> <br /> === Enemies ===<br /> ==== Amanda Hughes ====<br /> About sixty-seven years ago, when he was only a child, [[Amanda Hughes]] met him at Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Instead of become part of their family, she sacrificed herself to save her adoptive daughter and swallowed his drug developed by the organization, which led to her death.<br /> <br /> ==== Kohji Haneda ====<br /> Seventeen years ago, [[Kohji Haneda]] met him at his hotel room, while hiding Amanda's bodyguard. Kohji knew he was associated with Karasuma and, refusing to tell about Asaka's whereabouts, he was beaten by one of their men and drugged by Rum, which led to his death.<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery widths=200px perrow=5&gt;<br /> File:EP502-old man.jpg|Rum as old man (episode 502).<br /> File:Rum Profile.jpg|Rum as black figure (episode 863).<br /> File:EP894 Wakita.jpg|Rum as Kanenori Wakita (episode 894).<br /> File:Rum face.png|Rum's true face (movie 26).<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == Quotes ==<br /> {{cquote|Time is money!|Volume 95, file 5, page 13}}<br /> <br /> {{cquote|&quot;Rum&quot; is not my nickname.

He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to &quot;Rum&quot; because &quot;R&quot; and &quot;L&quot; sound the same in Japanese.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br /> * His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''&lt;ref&gt;Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.&lt;/ref&gt; and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.&lt;ref&gt;Movie 6: &quot;The Phantom of Baker Street&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames. He also uses a scooter to deliver sushi.<br /> * &quot;Kanenori Wakita&quot; is also an anagram of &quot;Kanenari Tokiwa&quot;, the Tokiwa Group's late founder in the [[Countdown to Heaven|first movie]] about the Black Organization.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Characters]]<br /> * [[Black Organization]]<br /> * [[Wikipedia: Rum|Rum]] (alcohol)<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Black Organization}}<br /> {{Rum arc}}<br /> {{Characters}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Rum}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Black Organization]]<br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Male characters]]<br /> [[Category:Detectives]]<br /> [[Category:Murderers]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Kanenori Wakita]]</div>

He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. About sixty-seven years ago, he was only a child. He was involved in the United States' [[Case from 17 years ago|murder case]] of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br /> <br /> Currently disguised as Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also a rude and intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself: e.g. he ordered to kill [[Rumi Wakasa|Wakasa]] only because of his suspicious. He is a cigar smoker and has always wanted to try show at least once.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] (&quot;child of Tokyo&quot;), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br /> Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in a snake.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical gauze dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br /> <br /> Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br /> <br /> == Abilities ==<br /> He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English, which indicates that he's well educated.<br /> <br /> His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Rum &lt;br&gt; Uncle (''Oji-san'') &lt;br&gt; Wakita Kanenori-san|Conan-kun}}<br /> {{appellations|Shinichi Kudo|Rum|Kudo Shinichi}}<br /> {{appellations|Kogoro Mouri|Wakita-san|Mouri Kogoro &lt;br&gt; Master Kogoro (''Kogorou-shishou'') &lt;br&gt; Customer (''Okyaku-san'') &lt;br&gt; Sleeping Kogoro-sama (''Nemuri no Kogoro-sama'') &lt;br&gt; Kogoro-san &lt;br&gt; Kogoro}}<br /> {{appellations|Ran Mouri|Wakita-san|-}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Black Organization&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Renya Karasuma|file=Renya Karasuma 60px.jpg|-|Ano kata}}<br /> {{appellations|Gin|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vodka|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vermouth|Rum|Vermouth}}<br /> {{appellations|Chianti|Rum &lt;br&gt; Ramu-san|Chianti}}<br /> {{appellations|Korn|Rum|Korn}}<br /> {{appellations|Akemi Miyano|-|Miyano Akemi}}<br /> {{appellations|Curaçao|Rum|Curaçao}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Law enforcement&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Shuichi Akai|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Subaru Okiya|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Jodie Starling|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|James Black|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Andre Camel|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Hidemi Hondou|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Rei Furuya|Rum|Bourbon}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Others&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Ai Haibara|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Yusaku Kudo|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Iroha Sushi Chef|file=Chefsushi.png|-|Boss}}<br /> {{appellations|Yoko Okino|Wakita-san|Okino Yoko-san}}<br /> {{appellations|Kohji Haneda|-|Haneda Kohji &lt;br&gt; Mr. Haneda &lt;br&gt; Haneda}}<br /> {{appellations|Rumi Wakasa|-|Wakasa-sensei &lt;br&gt; Rachel Asaka &lt;br&gt; Asaka}}<br /> {{appellations|Amanda Hughes|file=Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|Rum|Amanda}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;/tabs&gt;<br /> <br /> == Plot overview ==<br /> === Foreign Suspect Case (Manga: [[Volume 58#Foreign Suspect Case|607]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black#Friday the Thirteenth (Manga: 605-609, Anime: 501-504)|502]]) ===<br /> [[File:EP782-6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum vs. Akai and Camel.]]<br /> Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br /> <br /> === Scarlet Showdown (Manga: [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|896]], Anime: [[The Scarlet Return|782]]) ===<br /> Camel is reminded of the old man.<br /> <br /> === Scriptwriter Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Scriptwriter Murder Case|906-908]], Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===<br /> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes his three [[&quot;The Criminal&quot;|black figure]]s, just like Conan later in the anime version with fake eyes.<br /> <br /> === Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br /> Conan visualizes Rum as a black figure, just like his three black figures with fake eyes later in the anime version.<br /> <br /> === Interchanged Betting Ticket Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Interchanged Betting Ticket Case|975-977]], Anime: [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|894-895]]) ===<br /> Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br /> <br /> === Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case|980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br /> Wakita is seen reading a Nichiuri newspaper, but it's not showed what article. He comments about Wakasa that &quot;this one is quick-witted&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===<br /> After the murders case that occurred back at Kyoto is solved, Wakita is seen reading an article that mentions Shinichi's involvement in the case and took an interest of his return. In the anime, this was adapted in the next case.<br /> <br /> === Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br /> Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===<br /> Wakita joins Conan, Kogoro, and [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] to Nagano mountains after receiving a request about investigating a suicide case in an old church. He mention that he hated betrayal, like trader selling some old fish in a high price while they were on the train. Upon reaching the church they are joined by some people. It is soon revealed that someone has assembled all of them together keeping their identity secret. Next they are trapped inside the church and two of the people were killed. They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up. After they are rescue from the church, he introduce himself as Kogoro's apprentice along with Amuro to Nagano prefecture police inspector, [[Taka'aki Morofushi|Morofushi]].<br /> <br /> === Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br /> Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br /> <br /> === FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: [[The Black Organization's Scheme|1078-1080]]) ===<br /> After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br /> <br /> === Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br /> <br /> === Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Before the heist, [[Wakita]] asked [[Conan]] if there was anything strange about [[Rumi Wakasa]], the teacher who glaring at him while he was &quot;making deliveries&quot; at [[Miyano Akemi]]'s Class Reunion. [[Conan]] chooses not to reveal anything to him, despite his observations, answering that [[Rumi]] was just a normal, clumsy teacher.<br /> <br /> === Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> After Wakita learns from Kogoro that Rumi is at a chess tournament in [[Haido]], Rum drives to the building without disguise. He parks his car on a street within sight of here. His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon plot overview ==<br /> === The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br /> Rum doesn't appear directly:<br /> * Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br /> * Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br /> * When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br /> * Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br /> <br /> === Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br /> <br /> == Hints that Rum is Kanenori Wakita ==<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;<br /> * He may be able to fit all three descriptions of Rum, even though it was revealed that they are just a rumor planted by himself so better conceal his identity. He wears a patch over his left eye, which may conceal a prosthetic, and has still it despite saying that it will heal. Both of the other suspects, Kuroda and Wakasa, apparently have their right eye blind/prosthetic, which is why he stands out among them.<br /> * He has an interest in Sleeping Kogoro, just like Gin, while Wakasa and Kuroda personally have more interest in Conan. On top of that, since it was Sleeping Kogoro that solved the murder behind the occult detective who try to solve Kohji Haneda's murder case, it is only natural Rum's main focus and interest would be on Kogoro, because he wants to stop him from investigating the truth behind that murder at all cost. He took an interest in reports of Shinichi's return and even tried to visit his house.<br /> * Rum in text messages has twice used the English phrase &quot;Time is money&quot;, which can be translated into Japanese as &quot;時は金なり&quot;, whose Romanization &quot;Toki wa kane nari&quot; is an anagram of &quot;Wakita Kanenori&quot;, which is a nonsense alias just like Bourbon said.<br /> * He can be deceptive. As of now, he has yet to meet Haibara and communicate with her directly in any cases, making him the primary suspect to have a different response compared to Kuroda and Wakasa when seeing her later. However, in file 1072, Haibara felt the aura of organization and, at that time, Wakita was riding a motorbike passed Teitan Elementary School.<br /> * Like Bourbon, whose workplace was just a floor under Mouri detective agency, his workplace is one of Kogoro's favourite hangout places, which is just next door to it. This in turn allows him to move around freely and observe Kogoro's or his associates' movement much closely, without the need of using complex disguise like Vermouth and raising any suspicions to almost anyone, since public would believe he is a normal sushi seller that goes around delivering it to customers when being compared to Wakasa and Kuroda. Even if there is no customers that ordered sushi for delivery, he can easily fake an order to his own shop, thus allowing him to leave it either way, just like when he can investigate Shinichi.<br /> * When Amuro, Conan, Kogoro, and Wakita were on the train to Nagano mountain, he said that he hated betrayal, which seemingly meant he sensed that Bourbon betrayed him by sending him fake information about Shinichi's death. He completely snapped when the suspects started badmouthing Kogoro's actions after checking the victim's condition, something that Bourbon hinted afterwards that Rum is an impatient person. What's more interesting, after the whole case had been solved, Morofushi came to them and pretended he didn't know Amuro by shaking hands with Kogoro, asking him who these two men were, although Taka'aki had met him before when [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] was still alive. Presumably, Kuroda ordered Taka'aki calling him to help Amuro by acting as a stranger in front of Wakita, so that his true identity as an undercover agent working for the NPA could be hidden. Before leaving, Taka'aki didn't forget to mention a saying which was similar to &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> * In his debut, he even mentioned that he is a drifter, which may hint that he never stays in one place very long, so that he can go where ever the Black Organization or boss needs him to be to investigate an important matter, and if necessary to take care of the problem, and then disappear quickly. A customer asked what happened to the regular waiter, and he answered that he was in an accident, which was probably arranged, so that he can have this job to spy on the Mouri detective agency, and in particular Kogoro. One of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Renya Karasuma ====<br /> [[Renya Karasuma]] is his direct superior, meaning that Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. He has Karasuma's support to do activities, such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world, in order to strengthen the organization. About forty-seven years ago, he appeared at the International Economic Forum's Annual General Meeting on behalf of Karasuma, who was absent due to poor health. However, he is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br /> <br /> ==== Gin ====<br /> [[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br /> <br /> ==== Vermouth ====<br /> Rum instructed [[Vermouth]] to assess [[Yusaku Kudo]], an individual he considers a threat to the organization, suggesting a level of trust in [[Vermouth]]'s Judgement. <br /> <br /> ==== Chianti ====<br /> <br /> ==== Korn ====<br /> Rum instructed [[Korn]] to be familiar with the faces of [[Akai]] and [[Andre Camel]] and to kill them on sight. <br /> <br /> ==== Curaçao ====<br /> [[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br /> <br /> ==== Pinga ====<br /> [[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br /> <br /> === Enemies ===<br /> ==== Amanda Hughes ====<br /> About sixty-seven years ago, when he was only a child, [[Amanda Hughes]] met him at Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Instead of become part of their family, she sacrificed herself to save her adoptive daughter and swallowed his drug developed by the organization, which led to her death.<br /> <br /> ==== Kohji Haneda ====<br /> Seventeen years ago, [[Kohji Haneda]] met him at his hotel room, while hiding Amanda's bodyguard. Kohji knew he was associated with Karasuma and, refusing to tell about Asaka's whereabouts, he was beaten by one of their men and drugged by Rum, which led to his death.<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery widths=200px perrow=5&gt;<br /> File:EP502-old man.jpg|Rum as old man (episode 502).<br /> File:Rum Profile.jpg|Rum as black figure (episode 863).<br /> File:EP894 Wakita.jpg|Rum as Kanenori Wakita (episode 894).<br /> File:Rum face.png|Rum's true face (movie 26).<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == Quotes ==<br /> {{cquote|Time is money!|Volume 95, file 5, page 13}}<br /> <br /> {{cquote|&quot;Rum&quot; is not my nickname.

He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to &quot;Rum&quot; because &quot;R&quot; and &quot;L&quot; sound the same in Japanese.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br /> * His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''&lt;ref&gt;Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895.

He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. About sixty-seven years ago, he was only a child. He was involved in the United States' [[Case from 17 years ago|murder case]] of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br /> <br /> Currently disguised as Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also a rude and intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself: e.g. he ordered to kill [[Rumi Wakasa|Wakasa]] only because of his suspicious. He is a cigar smoker and has always wanted to try show at least once.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] (&quot;child of Tokyo&quot;), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br /> Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in a snake.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical gauze dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br /> <br /> Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br /> <br /> == Abilities ==<br /> He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English, which indicates that he's well educated.<br /> <br /> His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Rum &lt;br&gt; Uncle (''Oji-san'') &lt;br&gt; Wakita Kanenori-san|Conan-kun}}<br /> {{appellations|Shinichi Kudo|Rum|Kudo Shinichi}}<br /> {{appellations|Kogoro Mouri|Wakita-san|Mouri Kogoro &lt;br&gt; Master Kogoro (''Kogorou-shishou'') &lt;br&gt; Customer (''Okyaku-san'') &lt;br&gt; Sleeping Kogoro-sama (''Nemuri no Kogoro-sama'') &lt;br&gt; Kogoro-san &lt;br&gt; Kogoro}}<br /> {{appellations|Ran Mouri|Wakita-san|-}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Black Organization&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Renya Karasuma|file=Renya Karasuma 60px.jpg|-|Ano kata}}<br /> {{appellations|Gin|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vodka|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vermouth|Rum|Vermouth}}<br /> {{appellations|Chianti|Rum &lt;br&gt; Ramu-san|Chianti}}<br /> {{appellations|Korn|Rum|Korn}}<br /> {{appellations|Akemi Miyano|-|Miyano Akemi}}<br /> {{appellations|Curaçao|Rum|Curaçao}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Law enforcement&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Shuichi Akai|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Subaru Okiya|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Jodie Starling|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|James Black|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Andre Camel|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Hidemi Hondou|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Rei Furuya|Rum|Bourbon}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Others&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Ai Haibara|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Yusaku Kudo|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Iroha Sushi Chef|file=Chefsushi.png|-|Boss}}<br /> {{appellations|Yoko Okino|Wakita-san|Okino Yoko-san}}<br /> {{appellations|Kohji Haneda|-|Haneda Kohji &lt;br&gt; Mr. Haneda &lt;br&gt; Haneda}}<br /> {{appellations|Rumi Wakasa|-|Wakasa-sensei &lt;br&gt; Rachel Asaka &lt;br&gt; Asaka}}<br /> {{appellations|Amanda Hughes|file=Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|Rum|Amanda}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;/tabs&gt;<br /> <br /> == Plot overview ==<br /> === Foreign Suspect Case (Manga: [[Volume 58#Foreign Suspect Case|607]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black#Friday the Thirteenth (Manga: 605-609, Anime: 501-504)|502]]) ===<br /> [[File:EP782-6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum vs. Akai and Camel.]]<br /> Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br /> <br /> === Scarlet Showdown (Manga: [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|896]], Anime: [[The Scarlet Return|782]]) ===<br /> Camel is reminded of the old man.<br /> <br /> === Scriptwriter Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Scriptwriter Murder Case|906-908]], Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===<br /> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes his three [[&quot;The Criminal&quot;|black figure]]s, just like Conan later in the anime version with fake eyes.<br /> <br /> === Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br /> Conan visualizes Rum as a black figure, just like his three black figures with fake eyes later in the anime version.<br /> <br /> === Interchanged Betting Ticket Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Interchanged Betting Ticket Case|975-977]], Anime: [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|894-895]]) ===<br /> Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br /> <br /> === Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case|980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br /> Wakita is seen reading a Nichiuri newspaper, but it's not showed what article. He comments about Wakasa that &quot;this one is quick-witted&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===<br /> After the murders case that occurred back at Kyoto is solved, Wakita is seen reading an article that mentions Shinichi's involvement in the case and took an interest of his return. In the anime, this was adapted in the next case.<br /> <br /> === Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br /> Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===<br /> Wakita joins Conan, Kogoro, and [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] to Nagano mountains after receiving a request about investigating a suicide case in an old church. He mention that he hated betrayal, like trader selling some old fish in a high price while they were on the train. Upon reaching the church they are joined by some people. It is soon revealed that someone has assembled all of them together keeping their identity secret. Next they are trapped inside the church and two of the people were killed. They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up. After they are rescue from the church, he introduce himself as Kogoro's apprentice along with Amuro to Nagano prefecture police inspector, [[Taka'aki Morofushi|Morofushi]].<br /> <br /> === Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br /> Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br /> <br /> === FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: [[The Black Organization's Scheme|1078-1080]]) ===<br /> After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br /> <br /> === Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br /> <br /> === Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Before the Heist, [[Wakita]] asked [[Conan]] if there was anything strange about [Rumi Wakasa]], the teacher who glaring at him while he was &quot;making deliveries&quot; at [[Miyano Akemi]]'s Class Reunion. [[Conan]] chooses not to reveal anything to him, despite his observations, and answers that [[Rumi]] was just a normal, clumsy teacher.<br /> <br /> === Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> After Wakita learns from Kogoro that Rumi is at a chess tournament in [[Haido]], Rum drives to the building without disguise. He parks his car on a street within sight of here. His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon plot overview ==<br /> === The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br /> Rum doesn't appear directly:<br /> * Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br /> * Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br /> * When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br /> * Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br /> <br /> === Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br /> <br /> == Hints that Rum is Kanenori Wakita ==<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;<br /> * He may be able to fit all three descriptions of Rum, even though it was revealed that they are just a rumor planted by himself so better conceal his identity. He wears a patch over his left eye, which may conceal a prosthetic, and has still it despite saying that it will heal. Both of the other suspects, Kuroda and Wakasa, apparently have their right eye blind/prosthetic, which is why he stands out among them.<br /> * He has an interest in Sleeping Kogoro, just like Gin, while Wakasa and Kuroda personally have more interest in Conan. On top of that, since it was Sleeping Kogoro that solved the murder behind the occult detective who try to solve Kohji Haneda's murder case, it is only natural Rum's main focus and interest would be on Kogoro, because he wants to stop him from investigating the truth behind that murder at all cost. He took an interest in reports of Shinichi's return and even tried to visit his house.<br /> * Rum in text messages has twice used the English phrase &quot;Time is money&quot;, which can be translated into Japanese as &quot;時は金なり&quot;, whose Romanization &quot;Toki wa kane nari&quot; is an anagram of &quot;Wakita Kanenori&quot;, which is a nonsense alias just like Bourbon said.<br /> * He can be deceptive. As of now, he has yet to meet Haibara and communicate with her directly in any cases, making him the primary suspect to have a different response compared to Kuroda and Wakasa when seeing her later. However, in file 1072, Haibara felt the aura of organization and, at that time, Wakita was riding a motorbike passed Teitan Elementary School.<br /> * Like Bourbon, whose workplace was just a floor under Mouri detective agency, his workplace is one of Kogoro's favourite hangout places, which is just next door to it. This in turn allows him to move around freely and observe Kogoro's or his associates' movement much closely, without the need of using complex disguise like Vermouth and raising any suspicions to almost anyone, since public would believe he is a normal sushi seller that goes around delivering it to customers when being compared to Wakasa and Kuroda. Even if there is no customers that ordered sushi for delivery, he can easily fake an order to his own shop, thus allowing him to leave it either way, just like when he can investigate Shinichi.<br /> * When Amuro, Conan, Kogoro, and Wakita were on the train to Nagano mountain, he said that he hated betrayal, which seemingly meant he sensed that Bourbon betrayed him by sending him fake information about Shinichi's death. He completely snapped when the suspects started badmouthing Kogoro's actions after checking the victim's condition, something that Bourbon hinted afterwards that Rum is an impatient person. What's more interesting, after the whole case had been solved, Morofushi came to them and pretended he didn't know Amuro by shaking hands with Kogoro, asking him who these two men were, although Taka'aki had met him before when [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] was still alive. Presumably, Kuroda ordered Taka'aki calling him to help Amuro by acting as a stranger in front of Wakita, so that his true identity as an undercover agent working for the NPA could be hidden. Before leaving, Taka'aki didn't forget to mention a saying which was similar to &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> * In his debut, he even mentioned that he is a drifter, which may hint that he never stays in one place very long, so that he can go where ever the Black Organization or boss needs him to be to investigate an important matter, and if necessary to take care of the problem, and then disappear quickly. A customer asked what happened to the regular waiter, and he answered that he was in an accident, which was probably arranged, so that he can have this job to spy on the Mouri detective agency, and in particular Kogoro. One of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Renya Karasuma ====<br /> [[Renya Karasuma]] is his direct superior, meaning that Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. He has Karasuma's support to do activities, such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world, in order to strengthen the organization. About forty-seven years ago, he appeared at the International Economic Forum's Annual General Meeting on behalf of Karasuma, who was absent due to poor health. However, he is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br /> <br /> ==== Gin ====<br /> [[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br /> <br /> ==== Vermouth ====<br /> Rum instructed [[Vermouth]] to assess [[Yusaku Kudo]], an individual he considers a threat to the organization, suggesting a level of trust in [[Vermouth]]'s Judgement. <br /> <br /> ==== Chianti ====<br /> <br /> ==== Korn ====<br /> Rum instructed [[Korn]] to be familiar with the faces of [[Akai]] and [[Andre Camel]] and to kill them on sight. <br /> <br /> ==== Curaçao ====<br /> [[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br /> <br /> ==== Pinga ====<br /> [[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br /> <br /> === Enemies ===<br /> ==== Amanda Hughes ====<br /> About sixty-seven years ago, when he was only a child, [[Amanda Hughes]] met him at Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Instead of become part of their family, she sacrificed herself to save her adoptive daughter and swallowed his drug developed by the organization, which led to her death.<br /> <br /> ==== Kohji Haneda ====<br /> Seventeen years ago, [[Kohji Haneda]] met him at his hotel room, while hiding Amanda's bodyguard. Kohji knew he was associated with Karasuma and, refusing to tell about Asaka's whereabouts, he was beaten by one of their men and drugged by Rum, which led to his death.<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery widths=200px perrow=5&gt;<br /> File:EP502-old man.jpg|Rum as old man (episode 502).<br /> File:Rum Profile.jpg|Rum as black figure (episode 863).<br /> File:EP894 Wakita.jpg|Rum as Kanenori Wakita (episode 894).<br /> File:Rum face.png|Rum's true face (movie 26).<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == Quotes ==<br /> {{cquote|Time is money!|Volume 95, file 5, page 13}}<br /> <br /> {{cquote|&quot;Rum&quot; is not my nickname.

Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for class 1-B.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of them, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face, where she rendered three assailants unconscious with a broom in what could have been seconds.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> <br /> == Abilities ==<br /> === Martial arts ===<br /> While well-hidden, she is a skilled fighter, much stronger than [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]].

She appears to be a clumsy, shy and fearful person. Rumi approaches the Detective Boys for their help retrieving quicklime from the old warehouse in the school yard which causes them to come across a dead body. Over the course of the case Rumi uses her clumsiness to give hints to Conan on how to solve the case. Once she was out of their sight, her personality completely changed and she beat up a few robbers.<br /> <br /> === Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa.27s Neighbor Murder Case|978-980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br /> Rumi overhears an argument between her neighbor and his girlfriend, as she was leaving for school, and smiles. Later she accidently destroys a picture that was going to be used for a school play and she says that she will redraw it. Conan and the detective boys accompanied her to help. After they finish, Rumi treats them to dinner. But when they hear loud sounds from the neighbor, they goes over to check it out and finds a dead body and an unconscious man. Later back in Rumi's apartment, Conan finds a receipt that may prove that she knew the case would happen before hand and invited them there on purpose. Later Rumi incapacitates the culprit under the guise of falling over. The news crews outside happen to take a picture and Ayumi gives them Rumi's name. [[Hyoue Kuroda]] is shown reading the news article on his phone. [[Kanenori Wakita]] is shown reading a newspaper, but the article is not shown to us.<br /> <br /> === Burning Tent Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 93#Burning Tent Murder Case|987-989]], Anime: [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|909-910]]) ===<br /> Rumi takes the Detective Boys camping. Conan is suspicious of her and thought of strange things that he noticed in her present. When they approach a group cooking curry over a fire near by, one of them mentions that he has an injured eye and nearly had to get a prosthetic eye. Rumi clenches up, and Conan notices her gripping something in her pocket. A little bit later one of the other campers is burned alive inside his own tent. Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or that she cannot see so she is clumsy. When Kuroda seems to know the order that everyone introduced themselves in, despite originally claiming to have had earplugs in while sleeping. Rumi accuses him of spying on someone. Rumi has the Detective Boys build an acorn balance toy, which leads to the solution of the case. After Conan and Kuroda uncover the culprit, the culprit uses Ayumi as a hostage, Rumi manages to distract him long enough for Kuroda and Yuminaga to arrest him. Kuroda showed interest in the intimidating words that Rumi used to distract him. On the other hand, Conan becomes more suspicious of Rumi, and notices a strange object in her back pocket that has a shape similar to that of a Shogi piece.<br /> <br /> === Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===<br /> [[File:Rumi scars atpx.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rumi with scars.]]<br /> At the end of the case, news of Shinichi being one of the detectives that had solved the case spread to the internet. Both Kuroda and Wakita were shown seeing the information on their phones. However, Rumi was shown sitting in the dark looking at the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, with a smirk on her face. The names [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] appear to be highlighted. Additionally this is the first time we see her without a shirt on and she has scars on her upper arms as well as her back.<br /> <br /> === Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br /> Rumi makes an appearance in this case, asking Haibara about Shinichi and if Haibara has met Shinichi before.

As they do so, Rumi detects the scent of blood blown by the wind and immediately thinks about Kohji's death. At the mention of good luck charms, Rumi remembers back to when Kohji said, &quot;With the watchtower bishop, you can be sure of making a good move&quot;, while holding up a shogi bishop. Then he says, &quot;So they're going to kill me despite that?&quot; She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a &quot;foolish person&quot;, while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover. Conan notices her doing this and appears angry at her for it (or cognizant why she does not feel she needs it) as Rumi's face is in shadow.<br /> <br /> === Trapped at Hatoyama Farm (Manga: [[Volume 99#Trapped at Hatoyama Farm|1051-1054]], Anime: [[The Spark That Fell on the Ranch|1053-1054]]) ===<br /> Rumi and Kobayashi take the Detective Boys out to Hatoyama Farm to collect chicken. During the trip, she mentioned the words, Karasu being black, sly and a conspirator, causing Conan suspicious of her as she might personally know [[Renya Karasuma]] as [[Rum]] candidate. They meet up with [[Tooru Amuro|Amuro]] who is also going to the farm with another purpose. She seems to have a strange glare upon hearing Amuro is a detective.<br /> <br /> Later, they receive a call from the [[Detective Boys Badge]], knowing that Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Kobayashi, and Amuro gets trapped inside the farmhouse's cellar as the farm's owner brother uses Ayumi as a hostage and calling them for the police. However, they are unable to contact police by their phone. Also, Rumi notice the shogi piece which has been kept on her back pocket is missing and realize it has been picked by Amuro according to Genta.<br /> <br /> After Conan are rescued from the cellar, Rumi use the badge as a bait to lure Amuro back into the cellar and knocked him out in order to retrieve the shogi piece. Rumi mentioned to Amuro that she lost her grip and let go for the trapped door cutting all the light, which cause him missed a step on the stairs.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1060]]) ===<br /> Amuro is seen have a picture of Rumi which is taken from the preview case. He suspects that it was Rumi who attacked him to take the shogi pieces that he took earlier.<br /> <br /> === Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1070-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Rumi, Kobayashi, and the Detective Boys meet the Teitan Elementary School alumni as they are holding a reunion party. When one of them mention [[Akemi Miyano]] was also attended in the school before, he mistaken Haibara as [[Shiho Miyano]], her younger sister which he seen before. As Conan and Haibara whispering about Akemi, Rumi suspects that Haibara is Sherry in a shrunken state, whom betrayed the [[Black Organization]] for the death of Akemi. When Conan rush outside the classroom to find any suspicious person passed by due to someone triggered Haibara's anxiety, Rumi witnesses Wakita leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br /> <br /> === Beach House Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 103#Beach House Murder Case|1097-1099]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Rumi takes the Detective Boys to Shizuoka. Conan is suspicious of her after she heard Haibara as Shiho Miyano. He ask [[Subaru Okiya]] to join them. When Subaru ask her why she is concern of Haibara, she mention that Haibara is the certain woman of daughter who ruined her life. When they encounter the crime group intervened, Subaru used jeet kune do defeated them and ask Rumi to take Detective Boys to save place, causing Rumi recalls of [[Tsutomu Akai]] seventeen years ago after hearing his words. Rumi locks the Detective Boys to save place and secretly defeat them. Rumi lies to Subaru that they might fought within themselves, unaware that he and Conan witness her scars on the hand and start suspicious of her.<br /> <br /> === Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Her true identity is revealed in the flashback.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon plot overview ==<br /> === The Mini Patrol Car Police's Big Chase (Anime: [[The Mini Patrol Car Police's Big Chase|918]]) ===<br /> Genta gets kidnapped at an eel vending fair and the Detective Boys, without Haibara, run after the kidnappers' car and embark [[Yumi Miyamoto|Yumi]] and [[Naeko Miike|Naeko]]'s car to chase them. After losing track of them, Conan remembered who the kidnappers were and remembered they used signals at the fair so they try to figure out what they tried to communicate. Then, Mitsuhiko remembered the burning tent case and the reference to the counting system. A flashback of Haibara and Rumi's leg was shown.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===<br /> [[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]<br /> Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]].<br /> <br /> Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely uses clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occured in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she has bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behinds his Sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.<br /> <br /> Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquilizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquilizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath [[Chess Tournament Murder Case]], Rumi Wakasa demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the [[Detective Boys]]. She allowed them to thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, [[Sumiko Kobayashi]], be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the [[Black Organization]] back.<br /> <br /> === Sumiko Kobayashi ===<br /> [[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.<br /> However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to &quot;gambit&quot; in chess, and was praised by Rum.<br /> <br /> === Ryujiro Uematsu ===<br /> [[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.<br /> <br /> === Hyoue Kuroda ===<br /> [[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br /> <br /> === Kohji Haneda ===<br /> Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend and it's implied that she also has feelings for him. She thought of him as a &quot;foolish person&quot; because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf &quot;Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end. &quot;She still seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.<br /> <br /> == Name origin ==<br /> [[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Her role in the series is just like Fuuko, the Girl-Yaiba in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.&lt;ref&gt;Manga volume 91, file 9; anime episode 890.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == In other languages ==<br /> {{BeginTable CharLang}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Japan|Japanese|留美 Rumi|若狭 Wakasa}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=US|English|Rumi|Wakasa}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Thailand|Thai|รูมิ|วาคาสะ}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Vietnam|Vietnamese|Rumi|Wakasa}}<br /> {{endTable}}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Characters]]<br /> * [[Teitan Elementary School]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Rum arc}}<br /> {{Characters}}<br /> {{Detective Boys}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Wakasa Rumi}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Female characters]]<br /> [[Category:School staff]]<br /> [[Category:Martial artists]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Rumi Wakasa]]<br /> [[zh:若狭留美]]</div>

Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for class 1-B.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Her personality seems to be that of a well meaning but really clumsy and incapable teacher. She approached the [[Detective Boys]] on the grounds that she is scared of the old warehouse at the school and needed them to come with her. However, once she was out of sight of them, her personality changed dramatically to that of a skilled fighter with a scary face, where she rendered three assailants unconscious with a broom in what could have been seconds.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> <br /> == Abilities ==<br /> === Martial arts ===<br /> While well-hidden, she is a skilled fighter, much stronger than [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]].

She appears to be a clumsy, shy and fearful person. Rumi approaches the Detective Boys for their help retrieving quicklime from the old warehouse in the school yard which causes them to come across a dead body. Over the course of the case Rumi uses her clumsiness to give hints to Conan on how to solve the case. Once she was out of their sight, her personality completely changed and she beat up a few robbers.<br /> <br /> === Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa.27s Neighbor Murder Case|978-980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br /> Rumi overhears an argument between her neighbor and his girlfriend, as she was leaving for school, and smiles. Later she accidently destroys a picture that was going to be used for a school play and she says that she will redraw it. Conan and the detective boys accompanied her to help. After they finish, Rumi treats them to dinner. But when they hear loud sounds from the neighbor, they goes over to check it out and finds a dead body and an unconscious man. Later back in Rumi's apartment, Conan finds a receipt that may prove that she knew the case would happen before hand and invited them there on purpose. Later Rumi incapacitates the culprit under the guise of falling over. The news crews outside happen to take a picture and Ayumi gives them Rumi's name. [[Hyoue Kuroda]] is shown reading the news article on his phone. [[Kanenori Wakita]] is shown reading a newspaper, but the article is not shown to us.<br /> <br /> === Burning Tent Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 93#Burning Tent Murder Case|987-989]], Anime: [[Mystery of the Burning Tent|909-910]]) ===<br /> Rumi takes the Detective Boys camping. Conan is suspicious of her and thought of strange things that he noticed in her present. When they approach a group cooking curry over a fire near by, one of them mentions that he has an injured eye and nearly had to get a prosthetic eye. Rumi clenches up, and Conan notices her gripping something in her pocket. A little bit later one of the other campers is burned alive inside his own tent. Kuroda emerges from an adjacent tent and asks her whether the police should be called. However Rumi is standing in stunned silence, staring forward. When she snaps back to reality, Haibara seems to notice that Rumi can't see out of her right eye. Conan starts to wonder if Rumi is clumsy on purpose or that she cannot see so she is clumsy. When Kuroda seems to know the order that everyone introduced themselves in, despite originally claiming to have had earplugs in while sleeping. Rumi accuses him of spying on someone. Rumi has the Detective Boys build an acorn balance toy, which leads to the solution of the case. After Conan and Kuroda uncover the culprit, the culprit uses Ayumi as a hostage, Rumi manages to distract him long enough for Kuroda and Yuminaga to arrest him. Kuroda showed interest in the intimidating words that Rumi used to distract him. On the other hand, Conan becomes more suspicious of Rumi, and notices a strange object in her back pocket that has a shape similar to that of a Shogi piece.<br /> <br /> === Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===<br /> [[File:Rumi scars atpx.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rumi with scars.]]<br /> At the end of the case, news of Shinichi being one of the detectives that had solved the case spread to the internet. Both Kuroda and Wakita were shown seeing the information on their phones. However, Rumi was shown sitting in the dark looking at the [[List of Black Organization related characters#APTX 4869 Victims|APTX victims list]] on her laptop, with a smirk on her face. The names [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] appear to be highlighted. Additionally this is the first time we see her without a shirt on and she has scars on her upper arms as well as her back.<br /> <br /> === Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1006-1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br /> Rumi makes an appearance in this case, asking Haibara about Shinichi and if Haibara has met Shinichi before.

As they do so, Rumi detects the scent of blood blown by the wind and immediately thinks about Kohji's death. At the mention of good luck charms, Rumi remembers back to when Kohji said, &quot;With the watchtower bishop, you can be sure of making a good move&quot;, while holding up a shogi bishop. Then he says, &quot;So they're going to kill me despite that?&quot; She then remembers him dead, with some sort of blood pouring out of his mouth, and she calls him a &quot;foolish person&quot;, while pressing down on her right eye and crouching down on the ground. Conan sees her pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Rumi sees Conan tranquilizing Yamamura to make his deduction and gives a slight smirk. When Ayumi gives a 4-leaf clover to Rumi, saying that because Rumi is clumsy she needs good fortune, Rumi waits for the Detective Boys in front of her to look away, except Conan who is standing behind her looking at her, and throws away the 4-leaf clover. Conan notices her doing this and appears angry at her for it (or cognizant why she does not feel she needs it) as Rumi's face is in shadow.<br /> <br /> === Trapped at Hatoyama Farm (Manga: [[Volume 99#Trapped at Hatoyama Farm|1051-1054]], Anime: [[The Spark That Fell on the Ranch|1053-1054]]) ===<br /> Rumi and Kobayashi take the Detective Boys out to Hatoyama Farm to collect chicken.

She seems to have a strange glare upon hearing Amuro is a detective.<br /> <br /> Later, they receive a call from the [[Detective Boys Badge]], knowing that Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Kobayashi, and Amuro gets trapped inside the farmhouse's cellar as the farm's owner brother uses Ayumi as a hostage and calling them for the police. However, they are unable to contact police by their phone. Also, Rumi notice the shogi piece which has been kept on her back pocket is missing and realize it has been picked by Amuro according to Genta.<br /> <br /> After Conan are rescued from the cellar, Rumi use the badge as a bait to lure Amuro back into the cellar and knocked him out in order to retrieve the shogi piece. Rumi mentioned to Amuro that she lost her grip and let go for the trapped door cutting all the light, which cause him missed a step on the stairs.<br /> <br /> === Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1060]]) ===<br /> Amuro is seen have a picture of Rumi which is taken from the preview case. He suspects that it was Rumi who attacked him to take the shogi pieces that he took earlier.<br /> <br /> === Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1070-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Rumi, Kobayashi, and the Detective Boys meet the Teitan Elementary School alumni as they are holding a reunion party. When one of them mention [[Akemi Miyano]] was also attended in the school before, he mistaken Haibara as [[Shiho Miyano]], her younger sister which he seen before. As Conan and Haibara whispering about Akemi, Rumi suspects that Haibara is Sherry in a shrunken state, whom betrayed the [[Black Organization]] for the death of Akemi. When Conan rush outside the classroom to find any suspicious person passed by due to someone triggered Haibara's anxiety, Rumi witnesses Wakita leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br /> <br /> === Beach House Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 103#Beach House Murder Case|1097-1099]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Rumi takes the Detective Boys to Shizuoka. Conan is suspicious of her after she heard Haibara as Shiho Miyano. He ask [[Subaru Okiya]] to join them. When Subaru ask her why she is concern of Haibara, she mention that Haibara is the certain woman of daughter who ruined her life. When they encounter the crime group intervened, Subaru used jeet kune do defeated them and ask Rumi to take Detective Boys to save place, causing Rumi recalls of [[Tsutomu Akai]] seventeen years ago after hearing his words. Rumi locks the Detective Boys to save place and secretly defeat them. Rumi lies to Subaru that they might fought within themselves, unaware that he and Conan witness her scars on the hand and start suspicious of her.<br /> <br /> === Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Her true identity is revealed in the flashback.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon plot overview ==<br /> === The Mini Patrol Car Police's Big Chase (Anime: [[The Mini Patrol Car Police's Big Chase|918]]) ===<br /> Genta gets kidnapped at an eel vending fair and the Detective Boys, without Haibara, run after the kidnappers' car and embark [[Yumi Miyamoto|Yumi]] and [[Naeko Miike|Naeko]]'s car to chase them. After losing track of them, Conan remembered who the kidnappers were and remembered they used signals at the fair so they try to figure out what they tried to communicate. Then, Mitsuhiko remembered the burning tent case and the reference to the counting system. A flashback of Haibara and Rumi's leg was shown.<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Conan Edogawa, Ai Haibara, and Detective Boys ===<br /> [[File:EP889-group.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan, Haibara, the Detective Boys, Kobayashi, Wakasa, and Uematsu.]]<br /> Rumi is the new deputy homeroom teacher for [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Ai Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]]' class. She has approached them directly twice to lead them to the warehouse of the school that a robber group had used. Rumi is aware of three of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]'s gadgets given to the Detective Boys: the [[Wristwatch Flashlight|flashlight watch]], the [[Detective Boys Badge|detective badge]], and the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer dart]].<br /> <br /> Among the Detective Boys, Rumi shows special interest in Conan for unknown reasons. In the old warehouse case, Rumi was only paying attention to Conan and purposely uses clumsiness in order to give Conan the necessary hints to solve the case. When a murder case occured in her apartment, Conan found a receipt that has that day's morning and noticed she has bought additional plates and mugs. Conan eventually realized the reason behinds his Sensei's actions. Rumi sensed a murder might occur in her apartment and was from the very beginning planning to invite the Detective Boys, especially Conan so he would become involved in the case. It seems Rumi is somehow testing Conan's intelligence and skills for unknown reasons.<br /> <br /> Rumi at one point seems to trigger Haibara's skill at detecting Black Organization members, but Ai Haibara later tells Conan that she likes Rumi and wants to hear nothing bad said about her. Conan becomes increasingly distrustful of Rumi as time goes on, being reluctant to use his tranquilizer dart in front of her. So in one case, he leads Yamamura, who is to play the role of the sleeping detective here, to a tree to try to evade Rumi's scrutiny. Regardless, she still sees him use the tranquilizer dart on Yamamura and smirks. At one point, Conan notices Rumi pressing down on her right eye and seems to connect it to an eye disorder. Conan sees Rumi throwing away the 4-leaf clover Ayumi gave her and appears angry at her for it.<br /> <br /> In the aftermath [[Chess Tournament Murder Case]], Rumi Wakasa demonstrated a concerning level of apathy towards the [[Detective Boyss]]. She allowed them to thrown in harm's way by letting their teacher, [[Sumiko Kobayashi]], be bait by exchanging umbrellas, allowing her to snipe the [[Black Organization]] back.<br /> <br /> === Sumiko Kobayashi ===<br /> [[Sumiko Kobayashi]] is her junior superior as homeroom teacher.<br /> However, in order to distract Chianti and Korn, she deliberately broke the umbrella and exposed Kobayashi to danger, so that she could take the opportunity to attack. This act is similar to &quot;gambit&quot; in chess, and was praised by Rum.<br /> <br /> === Ryujiro Uematsu ===<br /> [[Ryujiro Uematsu]] is the headmaster of her new school.<br /> <br /> === Hyoue Kuroda ===<br /> [[Hyoue Kuroda]] seems to have some knowledge about her. When he heard that she went camping with the Detective Boys, he comments that camping was something that she wouldn't do. Kuroda suspects it is possible that she thinks him as the murderer who killed Amanda and Haneda, because there was hostility in her eyes. However, it is more likely that she blames Kuroda for not saving them in time.<br /> <br /> === Kohji Haneda ===<br /> Rumi Wakasa/Rachel Asaka first met Kohji when she accompanied Amanda [[Case from 17 years ago|seventeen years ago]]. Kohji said she is his ideal girlfriend and it's implied that she also has feelings for him. She thought of him as a &quot;foolish person&quot; because he sacrificed himself to protect her from the Black Organization. She keeps Kohji's good luck charm, the shogi bishop, which was handed by him and has memories of Kohji hiding her in his bookshelf &quot;Huh? Why did I help you? I decided to do so. I must carry my initial dream through to the end. &quot;She still seeks revenge for both Amanda and Kohji's murders.<br /> <br /> == Name origin ==<br /> [[Gosho Aoyama]] claims to have named Rumi after [[Wikipedia: Rumiko Takahashi|Rumiko Takahashi]], the author of the manga ''[[Wikipedia: Urusei Yatsura|Urusei Yatsura]]'', whom heroine [[Wikipedia: Lum Invader|Lum Invader]] is performed by her voice actress in the anime.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Her role in the series is just like Fuuko, the Girl-Yaiba in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.&lt;ref&gt;Manga volume 91, file 9; anime episode 890.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == In other languages ==<br /> {{BeginTable CharLang}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Japan|Japanese|留美 Rumi|若狭 Wakasa}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=US|English|Rumi|Wakasa}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Thailand|Thai|รูมิ|วาคาสะ}}<br /> {{CharLangItem|flag=Vietnam|Vietnamese|Rumi|Wakasa}}<br /> {{endTable}}<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[Characters]]<br /> * [[Teitan Elementary School]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> &lt;references/&gt;<br /> <br /> {{Rum arc}}<br /> {{Characters}}<br /> {{Detective Boys}}<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Wakasa Rumi}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Characters]]<br /> [[Category:Female characters]]<br /> [[Category:School staff]]<br /> [[Category:Martial artists]]<br /> <br /> [[de:Rumi Wakasa]]<br /> [[zh:若狭留美]]</div>

He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. About sixty-seven years ago, he was only a child. He was involved in the United States' [[Case from 17 years ago|murder case]] of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br /> <br /> Currently disguised as Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also a rude and intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself: e.g. he ordered to kill [[Rumi Wakasa|Wakasa]] only because of his suspicious. He is a cigar smoker and has always wanted to try show at least once.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] (&quot;child of Tokyo&quot;), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br /> Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in a snake.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical gauze dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br /> <br /> Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br /> <br /> == Abilities ==<br /> He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English, which indicates that he's well educated.<br /> <br /> His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Rum &lt;br&gt; Uncle (''Oji-san'') &lt;br&gt; Wakita Kanenori-san|Conan-kun}}<br /> {{appellations|Shinichi Kudo|Rum|Kudo Shinichi}}<br /> {{appellations|Kogoro Mouri|Wakita-san|Mouri Kogoro &lt;br&gt; Master Kogoro (''Kogorou-shishou'') &lt;br&gt; Customer (''Okyaku-san'') &lt;br&gt; Sleeping Kogoro-sama (''Nemuri no Kogoro-sama'') &lt;br&gt; Kogoro-san &lt;br&gt; Kogoro}}<br /> {{appellations|Ran Mouri|Wakita-san|-}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Black Organization&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Renya Karasuma|file=Renya Karasuma 60px.jpg|-|Ano kata}}<br /> {{appellations|Gin|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vodka|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vermouth|Rum|Vermouth}}<br /> {{appellations|Chianti|Rum &lt;br&gt; Ramu-san|Chianti}}<br /> {{appellations|Korn|Rum|Korn}}<br /> {{appellations|Akemi Miyano|-|Miyano Akemi}}<br /> {{appellations|Curaçao|Rum|Curaçao}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Law enforcement&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Shuichi Akai|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Subaru Okiya|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Jodie Starling|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|James Black|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Andre Camel|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Hidemi Hondou|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Rei Furuya|Rum|Bourbon}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Others&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Ai Haibara|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Yusaku Kudo|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Iroha Sushi Chef|file=Chefsushi.png|-|Boss}}<br /> {{appellations|Yoko Okino|Wakita-san|Okino Yoko-san}}<br /> {{appellations|Kohji Haneda|-|Haneda Kohji &lt;br&gt; Mr. Haneda &lt;br&gt; Haneda}}<br /> {{appellations|Rumi Wakasa|-|Wakasa-sensei &lt;br&gt; Rachel Asaka &lt;br&gt; Asaka}}<br /> {{appellations|Amanda Hughes|file=Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|Rum|Amanda}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;/tabs&gt;<br /> <br /> == Plot overview ==<br /> === Foreign Suspect Case (Manga: [[Volume 58#Foreign Suspect Case|607]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black#Friday the Thirteenth (Manga: 605-609, Anime: 501-504)|502]]) ===<br /> [[File:EP782-6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum vs. Akai and Camel.]]<br /> Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br /> <br /> === Scarlet Showdown (Manga: [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|896]], Anime: [[The Scarlet Return|782]]) ===<br /> Camel is reminded of the old man.<br /> <br /> === Scriptwriter Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Scriptwriter Murder Case|906-908]], Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===<br /> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes his three [[&quot;The Criminal&quot;|black figure]]s, just like Conan later in the anime version with fake eyes.<br /> <br /> === Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br /> Conan visualizes Rum as a black figure, just like his three black figures with fake eyes later in the anime version.<br /> <br /> === Interchanged Betting Ticket Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Interchanged Betting Ticket Case|975-977]], Anime: [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|894-895]]) ===<br /> Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br /> <br /> === Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case|980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br /> Wakita is seen reading a Nichiuri newspaper, but it's not showed what article. He comments about Wakasa that &quot;this one is quick-witted&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===<br /> After the murders case that occurred back at Kyoto is solved, Wakita is seen reading an article that mentions Shinichi's involvement in the case and took an interest of his return. In the anime, this was adapted in the next case.<br /> <br /> === Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br /> Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===<br /> Wakita joins Conan, Kogoro, and [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] to Nagano mountains after receiving a request about investigating a suicide case in an old church. He mention that he hated betrayal, like trader selling some old fish in a high price while they were on the train. Upon reaching the church they are joined by some people. It is soon revealed that someone has assembled all of them together keeping their identity secret. Next they are trapped inside the church and two of the people were killed. They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up. After they are rescue from the church, he introduce himself as Kogoro's apprentice along with Amuro to Nagano prefecture police inspector, [[Taka'aki Morofushi|Morofushi]].<br /> <br /> === Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br /> Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br /> <br /> === FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: [[The Black Organization's Scheme|1078-1080]]) ===<br /> After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br /> <br /> === Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br /> <br /> === Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> After Wakita learns from Kogoro that Rumi is at a chess tournament in [[Haido]], Rum drives to the building without disguise. He parks his car on a street within sight of here. His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon plot overview ==<br /> === The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br /> Rum doesn't appear directly:<br /> * Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br /> * Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br /> * When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br /> * Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br /> <br /> === Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br /> <br /> == Hints that Rum is Kanenori Wakita ==<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;<br /> * He may be able to fit all three descriptions of Rum, even though it was revealed that they are just a rumor planted by himself so better conceal his identity. He wears a patch over his left eye, which may conceal a prosthetic, and has still it despite saying that it will heal. Both of the other suspects, Kuroda and Wakasa, apparently have their right eye blind/prosthetic, which is why he stands out among them.<br /> * He has an interest in Sleeping Kogoro, just like Gin, while Wakasa and Kuroda personally have more interest in Conan. On top of that, since it was Sleeping Kogoro that solved the murder behind the occult detective who try to solve Kohji Haneda's murder case, it is only natural Rum's main focus and interest would be on Kogoro, because he wants to stop him from investigating the truth behind that murder at all cost. He took an interest in reports of Shinichi's return and even tried to visit his house.<br /> * Rum in text messages has twice used the English phrase &quot;Time is money&quot;, which can be translated into Japanese as &quot;時は金なり&quot;, whose Romanization &quot;Toki wa kane nari&quot; is an anagram of &quot;Wakita Kanenori&quot;, which is a nonsense alias just like Bourbon said.<br /> * He can be deceptive. As of now, he has yet to meet Haibara and communicate with her directly in any cases, making him the primary suspect to have a different response compared to Kuroda and Wakasa when seeing her later. However, in file 1072, Haibara felt the aura of organization and, at that time, Wakita was riding a motorbike passed Teitan Elementary School.<br /> * Like Bourbon, whose workplace was just a floor under Mouri detective agency, his workplace is one of Kogoro's favourite hangout places, which is just next door to it. This in turn allows him to move around freely and observe Kogoro's or his associates' movement much closely, without the need of using complex disguise like Vermouth and raising any suspicions to almost anyone, since public would believe he is a normal sushi seller that goes around delivering it to customers when being compared to Wakasa and Kuroda. Even if there is no customers that ordered sushi for delivery, he can easily fake an order to his own shop, thus allowing him to leave it either way, just like when he can investigate Shinichi.<br /> * When Amuro, Conan, Kogoro, and Wakita were on the train to Nagano mountain, he said that he hated betrayal, which seemingly meant he sensed that Bourbon betrayed him by sending him fake information about Shinichi's death. He completely snapped when the suspects started badmouthing Kogoro's actions after checking the victim's condition, something that Bourbon hinted afterwards that Rum is an impatient person. What's more interesting, after the whole case had been solved, Morofushi came to them and pretended he didn't know Amuro by shaking hands with Kogoro, asking him who these two men were, although Taka'aki had met him before when [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] was still alive. Presumably, Kuroda ordered Taka'aki calling him to help Amuro by acting as a stranger in front of Wakita, so that his true identity as an undercover agent working for the NPA could be hidden. Before leaving, Taka'aki didn't forget to mention a saying which was similar to &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> * In his debut, he even mentioned that he is a drifter, which may hint that he never stays in one place very long, so that he can go where ever the Black Organization or boss needs him to be to investigate an important matter, and if necessary to take care of the problem, and then disappear quickly. A customer asked what happened to the regular waiter, and he answered that he was in an accident, which was probably arranged, so that he can have this job to spy on the Mouri detective agency, and in particular Kogoro. One of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Renya Karasuma ====<br /> [[Renya Karasuma]] is his direct superior, meaning that Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. He has Karasuma's support to do activities, such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world, in order to strengthen the organization. About forty-seven years ago, he appeared at the International Economic Forum's Annual General Meeting on behalf of Karasuma, who was absent due to poor health. However, he is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br /> <br /> ==== Gin ====<br /> [[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br /> <br /> ==== Vermouth ====<br /> Rum instructed [[Vermouth]] to assess [[Yusaku Kudo]], an individual he considers a threat to the organization, suggesting a level of trust in [[Vermouth]]'s Judgement. <br /> <br /> ==== Chianti ====<br /> <br /> ==== Korn ====<br /> Rum instructed [[Korn]] to be familiar with the faces of [[Akai]] and [[Andre Camel]] and to kill them on sight. <br /> <br /> ==== Curaçao ====<br /> [[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br /> <br /> ==== Pinga ====<br /> [[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br /> <br /> === Enemies ===<br /> ==== Amanda Hughes ====<br /> About sixty-seven years ago, when he was only a child, [[Amanda Hughes]] met him at Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Instead of become part of their family, she sacrificed herself to save her adoptive daughter and swallowed his drug developed by the organization, which led to her death.<br /> <br /> ==== Kohji Haneda ====<br /> Seventeen years ago, [[Kohji Haneda]] met him at his hotel room, while hiding Amanda's bodyguard. Kohji knew he was associated with Karasuma and, refusing to tell about Asaka's whereabouts, he was beaten by one of their men and drugged by Rum, which led to his death.<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery widths=200px perrow=5&gt;<br /> File:EP502-old man.jpg|Rum as old man (episode 502).<br /> File:Rum Profile.jpg|Rum as black figure (episode 863).<br /> File:EP894 Wakita.jpg|Rum as Kanenori Wakita (episode 894).<br /> File:Rum face.png|Rum's true face (movie 26).<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == Quotes ==<br /> {{cquote|Time is money!|Volume 95, file 5, page 13}}<br /> <br /> {{cquote|&quot;Rum&quot; is not my nickname.

He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to &quot;Rum&quot; because &quot;R&quot; and &quot;L&quot; sound the same in Japanese.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br /> * His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''&lt;ref&gt;Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895. In his debut, one of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.&lt;/ref&gt; and Colonel [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series.&lt;ref&gt;Movie 6: &quot;The Phantom of Baker Street&quot;.&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> * Rum's car is a black [[Wikipedia: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars|Rolls-Royce]], driven around by two organization members without codenames.

He inherited that codename from his father, who had served Karasuma for many years. About sixty-seven years ago, he was only a child. He was involved in the United States' [[Case from 17 years ago|murder case]] of [[Amanda Hughes]] and [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates.<br /> <br /> Currently disguised as Kanenori Wakita, he is a drifter arranged as sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi, the local restaurant which is just next door to [[Mouri Detective Agency|Mouri detective agency]] and one of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s favourite hangout places, since the regular waiter was in an accident. He becomes Kogoro's second apprentice in order to get closer to him and extract information. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and instructed [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about Shinichi. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] a threat to the organization and instructed [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.<br /> <br /> == Personality ==<br /> Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He is also a rude and intuitive person, taking an interest and investigating anyone that he deems suspicious and a threat to the organization or even to himself: e.g. he ordered to kill [[Rumi Wakasa|Wakasa]] only because of his suspicious. He is a cigar smoker and has always wanted to try show at least once.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] (&quot;child of Tokyo&quot;), hated betrayal and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. He compares traitors to cheating fish-sellers. In contrast to his Wakita's role, Rum's manner of speaking is more polite and formal.<br /> <br /> == Appearance ==<br /> [[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's fake appearances.]]<br /> Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, a fairly tall, fair skin tone, black eyes and white facial hair. He has damaged his left eye and replaced it with an artificial one. Just like [[Hyoue Kuroda|Kuroda]]'s, his artificial prosthetic eye is completely white. Prior to loss, his eye had a vertically slit-shaped pupil, like those seen in a snake.<br /> <br /> As Kanenori Wakita, he has a short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical gauze dressing over his left eye. He is right-handed. There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.<br /> <br /> Seventeen years ago, Rum wore a black jacket with a fur collar, a striped shirt, a black hat, and a monocle over his left eye, which was attached to a chain under his jacket. In the present, he wears no monocle and hat, his black jacket has a regular collar, a shirt with a multicolored patchwork design, and a collar pin.<br /> <br /> == Abilities ==<br /> He has a keen sense of observation and relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]] and appoint her as his right-hand agent. He can quickly figure out tactical traps that are being used against him, allowing him to execute a strategic counterattack and utilize the situation to his advantage. He has skills in culinary arts, but can't safely wield the knife due to his injured eye. In conclusion, he is more intelligent than [[Gin]] and a master of disguise like Vermouth. He can speak English, which indicates that he's well educated.<br /> <br /> His left eye possessed something similar to photographic memory, that allows him to remember people's gestures and habits, to which he used the information gathered to blackmail big names in the political and financial world in order to make the organization grow bigger. He has had such eyes since he was young.<br /> <br /> == Appellations ==<br /> &lt;tabs jsId=&quot;nicknames&quot;&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Protagonists&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Conan Edogawa|Rum &lt;br&gt; Uncle (''Oji-san'') &lt;br&gt; Wakita Kanenori-san|Conan-kun}}<br /> {{appellations|Shinichi Kudo|Rum|Kudo Shinichi}}<br /> {{appellations|Kogoro Mouri|Wakita-san|Mouri Kogoro &lt;br&gt; Master Kogoro (''Kogorou-shishou'') &lt;br&gt; Customer (''Okyaku-san'') &lt;br&gt; Sleeping Kogoro-sama (''Nemuri no Kogoro-sama'') &lt;br&gt; Kogoro-san &lt;br&gt; Kogoro}}<br /> {{appellations|Ran Mouri|Wakita-san|-}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Black Organization&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Renya Karasuma|file=Renya Karasuma 60px.jpg|-|Ano kata}}<br /> {{appellations|Gin|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vodka|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Vermouth|Rum|Vermouth}}<br /> {{appellations|Chianti|Rum &lt;br&gt; Ramu-san|Chianti}}<br /> {{appellations|Korn|Rum|Korn}}<br /> {{appellations|Akemi Miyano|-|Miyano Akemi}}<br /> {{appellations|Curaçao|Rum|Curaçao}}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Law enforcement&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Shuichi Akai|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Subaru Okiya|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Jodie Starling|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|James Black|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Andre Camel|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Hidemi Hondou|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Rei Furuya|Rum|Bourbon}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;tab title=&quot;Others&quot;&gt;<br /> {{appellations/head|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Ai Haibara|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Yusaku Kudo|Rum}}<br /> {{appellations|Iroha Sushi Chef|file=Chefsushi.png|-|Boss}}<br /> {{appellations|Yoko Okino|Wakita-san|Okino Yoko-san}}<br /> {{appellations|Kohji Haneda|-|Haneda Kohji &lt;br&gt; Mr. Haneda &lt;br&gt; Haneda}}<br /> {{appellations|Rumi Wakasa|-|Wakasa-sensei &lt;br&gt; Rachel Asaka &lt;br&gt; Asaka}}<br /> {{appellations|Amanda Hughes|file=Amanda Hughes EP861.jpg|Rum|Amanda}}<br /> |}<br /> &lt;/tab&gt;<br /> &lt;/tabs&gt;<br /> <br /> == Plot overview ==<br /> === Foreign Suspect Case (Manga: [[Volume 58#Foreign Suspect Case|607]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black#Friday the Thirteenth (Manga: 605-609, Anime: 501-504)|502]]) ===<br /> [[File:EP782-6.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rum vs. Akai and Camel.]]<br /> Rum appeared in disguise as an old man during [[Shuichi Akai|Akai]]'s final loyalty test two years ago, while he was waiting for Gin to arrive in a warehouse. [[Andre Camel|Camel]] emerged from his hiding place to scare him away, thinking he was just an ordinary civilian, revealing that Dai Moroboshi was an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] spy.<br /> <br /> === Scarlet Showdown (Manga: [[Volume 85#Scarlet Showdown|896]], Anime: [[The Scarlet Return|782]]) ===<br /> Camel is reminded of the old man.<br /> <br /> === Scriptwriter Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Scriptwriter Murder Case|906-908]], Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===<br /> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes his three [[&quot;The Criminal&quot;|black figure]]s, just like Conan later in the anime version with fake eyes.<br /> <br /> === Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#Soul Detective Murder Case|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===<br /> Conan visualizes Rum as a black figure, just like his three black figures with fake eyes later in the anime version.<br /> <br /> === Interchanged Betting Ticket Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Interchanged Betting Ticket Case|975-977]], Anime: [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|894-895]]) ===<br /> Wakita correctly guesses which horse Kogoro must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to his eye. He turns out to be a fan of Sleeping Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.<br /> <br /> === Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case|980]], Anime: [[The Woman with White Hands|896-897]]) ===<br /> Wakita is seen reading a Nichiuri newspaper, but it's not showed what article. He comments about Wakasa that &quot;this one is quick-witted&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Crimson School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Crimson School Trip Case|1005]], Anime: [[The Scarlet School Trip|928]]) ===<br /> After the murders case that occurred back at Kyoto is solved, Wakita is seen reading an article that mentions Shinichi's involvement in the case and took an interest of his return. In the anime, this was adapted in the next case.<br /> <br /> === Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===<br /> Wakita tried to visit Shinichi's [[Kudo Residence|house]] and is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> <br /> === Nagano Snowy Mountains Case (Manga: [[Volume 97#Nagano Snowy Mountains Case|1027-1031]], Anime: [[The 36-Cell Perfect Game|1003-1005]]) ===<br /> Wakita joins Conan, Kogoro, and [[Rei Furuya|Amuro]] to Nagano mountains after receiving a request about investigating a suicide case in an old church. He mention that he hated betrayal, like trader selling some old fish in a high price while they were on the train. Upon reaching the church they are joined by some people. It is soon revealed that someone has assembled all of them together keeping their identity secret. Next they are trapped inside the church and two of the people were killed. They team up with pairs to investigate the case and he pairs with Kogoro. He realize Conan and Amuro are working well as a pair along the case. He is also looking forward for Conan's future when he grow up. After they are rescue from the church, he introduce himself as Kogoro's apprentice along with Amuro to Nagano prefecture police inspector, [[Taka'aki Morofushi|Morofushi]].<br /> <br /> === Kogoro in a Dilemma (Manga: [[Volume 99#Kogoro in a Dilemma|1055-1057]], Anime: [[Yoko Okino and the Locked Attic|1059-1060]]) ===<br /> Wakita shows up at detective agency as he is impatient by waiting the sushi delivery ordered by Kogoro for [[Yoko Okino|Yoko]]'s visit with the strange mysterious coding of a murder case as Kogoro was stuck inside the toilet due to out of toilet paper in the bathroom. He has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the resolution, he asks Conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece, which Conan denies.<br /> <br /> === FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: [[The Black Organization's Scheme|1078-1080]]) ===<br /> After several FBI members were killed as a result of the Black Organization decoding their communications, the FBI planted a fake code. However, Rum was able to detect such fake code due to the difference in romaji writing. His subordinates were then able to counter trap and attacked the FBI members instead. Although the collaborative efforts of Akai and Conan managed to keep Camel hidden for a while, Rum figured out their strategy and instructed Gin to burn the Umizarujima, successfully luring out him into the open. However, they were fooled into thinking to have successfully eliminated the FBI agent. Two years ago, when Rye's allegiance to the FBI was exposed, Rum sent a picture of Akai and Camel to [[Korn]], ordering him to assassinate the FBI agents once in sight. After the case, Rum was scolded by the boss, stating that their actions at Umizarujima stood out a bit more than they should have been. Despite receiving an earful, the boss was pleased with the recent turn of events, commending Rum and the others for successfully killing the man that the FBI desperately protected. Rum then puts on his disguise and drops off at Iroha Sushi, and is revealed to be Kanenori Wakita.<br /> <br /> === Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule (Manga: [[Volume 101#Akemi Miyano's Time Capsule|1071-1072]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> Wakita delivers sushi to [[Teitan Elementary School]] for class 6-A's reunion. He shows to know [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] attended this school nineteen years ago, but muses to himself that a dead person would be unable to attend their reunion. Hs indirect presence heavily triggered Haibara's anxiety, causing Conan to rush outside the classroom. When he asked an upperclassman if any suspicious person passed by, he was informed that only pizza and sushi deliveries came near the area. Conan then dismisses his suspicion and concludes that Haibara must have been overreacting only, unaware of the fact that Wakita is an undercover member of the organization. Wakasa then watches Rum leaving as he delivered the sushi.<br /> <br /> === Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash (Manga: [[Volume 103#Kaitou Kid and the Siren Splash|1100]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Chess Tournament Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 104#Chess Tournament Muder Case|1103-1109]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> After Wakita learns from Kogoro that Rumi is at a chess tournament in [[Haido]], Rum drives to the building without disguise. He parks his car on a street within sight of here. His two companions hack into the lobby security cameras and get video footage of Rumi. With a sinister grin, he orders the recordings to be sent to [[Chianti]] and Korn.<br /> <br /> == Non-canon plot overview ==<br /> === The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===<br /> Rum doesn't appear directly:<br /> * Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.<br /> * Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs. He also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.<br /> * When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. In the past, Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.<br /> * Vermouth has a conversation with him during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.<br /> <br /> === Sleep (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 6#File 035: Sleep|35]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Twilight Job-changing (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 041: Twilight Job-changing|41]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~ (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal Volume 7#File 042: Great Puppy Pometaro ~The Paw of Blue Sapphire~|42]], Anime: TBD) ===<br /> <br /> === Black Iron Submarine (Movie: [[Black Iron Submarine|26]]) ===<br /> <br /> == Hints that Rum is Kanenori Wakita ==<br /> &lt;spoiler&gt;<br /> * He may be able to fit all three descriptions of Rum, even though it was revealed that they are just a rumor planted by himself so better conceal his identity. He wears a patch over his left eye, which may conceal a prosthetic, and has still it despite saying that it will heal. Both of the other suspects, Kuroda and Wakasa, apparently have their right eye blind/prosthetic, which is why he stands out among them.<br /> * He has an interest in Sleeping Kogoro, just like Gin, while Wakasa and Kuroda personally have more interest in Conan. On top of that, since it was Sleeping Kogoro that solved the murder behind the occult detective who try to solve Kohji Haneda's murder case, it is only natural Rum's main focus and interest would be on Kogoro, because he wants to stop him from investigating the truth behind that murder at all cost. He took an interest in reports of Shinichi's return and even tried to visit his house.<br /> * Rum in text messages has twice used the English phrase &quot;Time is money&quot;, which can be translated into Japanese as &quot;時は金なり&quot;, whose Romanization &quot;Toki wa kane nari&quot; is an anagram of &quot;Wakita Kanenori&quot;, which is a nonsense alias just like Bourbon said.<br /> * He can be deceptive. As of now, he has yet to meet Haibara and communicate with her directly in any cases, making him the primary suspect to have a different response compared to Kuroda and Wakasa when seeing her later. However, in file 1072, Haibara felt the aura of organization and, at that time, Wakita was riding a motorbike passed Teitan Elementary School.<br /> * Like Bourbon, whose workplace was just a floor under Mouri detective agency, his workplace is one of Kogoro's favourite hangout places, which is just next door to it. This in turn allows him to move around freely and observe Kogoro's or his associates' movement much closely, without the need of using complex disguise like Vermouth and raising any suspicions to almost anyone, since public would believe he is a normal sushi seller that goes around delivering it to customers when being compared to Wakasa and Kuroda. Even if there is no customers that ordered sushi for delivery, he can easily fake an order to his own shop, thus allowing him to leave it either way, just like when he can investigate Shinichi.<br /> * When Amuro, Conan, Kogoro, and Wakita were on the train to Nagano mountain, he said that he hated betrayal, which seemingly meant he sensed that Bourbon betrayed him by sending him fake information about Shinichi's death. He completely snapped when the suspects started badmouthing Kogoro's actions after checking the victim's condition, something that Bourbon hinted afterwards that Rum is an impatient person. What's more interesting, after the whole case had been solved, Morofushi came to them and pretended he didn't know Amuro by shaking hands with Kogoro, asking him who these two men were, although Taka'aki had met him before when [[Hiromitsu Morofushi|Scotch]] was still alive. Presumably, Kuroda ordered Taka'aki calling him to help Amuro by acting as a stranger in front of Wakita, so that his true identity as an undercover agent working for the NPA could be hidden. Before leaving, Taka'aki didn't forget to mention a saying which was similar to &quot;Time is money&quot;.<br /> * In his debut, he even mentioned that he is a drifter, which may hint that he never stays in one place very long, so that he can go where ever the Black Organization or boss needs him to be to investigate an important matter, and if necessary to take care of the problem, and then disappear quickly. A customer asked what happened to the regular waiter, and he answered that he was in an accident, which was probably arranged, so that he can have this job to spy on the Mouri detective agency, and in particular Kogoro. One of the suspects says he wants to go home to watch the episode of ''Kamen Yaiba'' on TV where the boss' second-in-command would appear.&lt;/spoiler&gt;<br /> <br /> == Relationships analysis ==<br /> === Black Organization ===<br /> ==== Renya Karasuma ====<br /> [[Renya Karasuma]] is his direct superior, meaning that Karasuma must trust him the most, enough to make him the new highest ranking executive agent after his late father's long service. He has Karasuma's support to do activities, such as blackmailing big names in the political and financial world, in order to strengthen the organization. About forty-seven years ago, he appeared at the International Economic Forum's Annual General Meeting on behalf of Karasuma, who was absent due to poor health. However, he is scolded by Karasuma when his conspicuous actions could threaten the secrecy of the organization, for example by burning an island, instead of searching closely, to lure out their target.<br /> <br /> ==== Gin ====<br /> [[Gin]] knows Rum's true identity and that he works at the sushi restaurant with a silly pseudonym. Apparently, Gin trusts and follows his commands without questioning them or complaining about them. Although, he does get annoy when Rum get praise every time.<br /> <br /> ==== Chianti ====<br /> <br /> ==== Korn ====<br /> <br /> ==== Curaçao ====<br /> [[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but he decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.<br /> <br /> ==== Pinga ====<br /> [[Pinga]] is a close confidant of Rum.<br /> <br /> === Enemies ===<br /> ==== Amanda Hughes ====<br /> About sixty-seven years ago, when he was only a child, [[Amanda Hughes]] met him at Karasuma's birthday party. Fifty years later, they met again at a hotel in the United States. Instead of become part of their family, she sacrificed herself to save her adoptive daughter and swallowed his drug developed by the organization, which led to her death.<br /> <br /> ==== Kohji Haneda ====<br /> Seventeen years ago, [[Kohji Haneda]] met him at his hotel room, while hiding Amanda's bodyguard. Kohji knew he was associated with Karasuma and, refusing to tell about Asaka's whereabouts, he was beaten by one of their men and drugged by Rum, which led to his death.<br /> <br /> == Gallery ==<br /> &lt;gallery widths=200px perrow=5&gt;<br /> File:EP502-old man.jpg|Rum as old man (episode 502).<br /> File:Rum Profile.jpg|Rum as black figure (episode 863).<br /> File:EP894 Wakita.jpg|Rum as Kanenori Wakita (episode 894).<br /> File:Rum face.png|Rum's true face (movie 26).<br /> &lt;/gallery&gt;<br /> <br /> == Quotes ==<br /> {{cquote|Time is money!|Volume 95, file 5, page 13}}<br /> <br /> {{cquote|&quot;Rum&quot; is not my nickname.

He also showed Lum in a panel in file 906. Lum's name has a similar pronunciation to &quot;Rum&quot; because &quot;R&quot; and &quot;L&quot; sound the same in Japanese.<br /> <br /> == Trivia ==<br /> * Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach [[:File:Danpei Tange.jpg|Danpei Tange]] from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.<br /> * His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''&lt;ref&gt;Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895.
