'''{{nihongo|Juzo Megure|目暮十三|Megure Juuzou}}''', also known as '''Joseph Meguire''' in the Funimation, but commonly referred to as '''Inspector Megure''', is a character in the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Shortly after Megure had come to the police force, he was involved in a case in which he would meet his future wife, [[Midori Megure|Midori]]. As a result of the case, he has taken to wearing a hat in public in order to hide a scar which he gained and his own self-consciousness about how he came to his marriage.<ref>Manga Chapter 286: An Unexpected Motive</ref> Megure was also a good friend of star detective story novelist [[Yusaku Kudo]], and would in the past consult him about one case or another. On many such occasions, Yusaku would take his son [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] with him, who would pick up his father's investigate skills and eventually become a detective in his own right.<ref>Manga Chapter 204: The Initial Call</ref>

Megure is almost always there on the scene when a murder occurs, always interviewing the suspects, and acting as the commanding officer of the group of police he brings along with him, among them [[Wataru Takagi]], [[Miwako Sato]], [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], and [[Officer Chiba|Chiba]]. Megure and [[Kogoro Mouri]] were former co-officers in the district.<ref>Manga Chapters 570-573: Shinichi's Childhood Adventure</ref>

== Plot overview ==

== Personality ==
Megure is a capable veteran officer who cares much for his underlings, but he is prone to occasional shouting fits whenever something does not go right or when his excitement gets the better of him. He also has little patience for fools, but tends to be a bit too conservative, limiting his ability for flexible thinking.

After Shinichi solved their first mutual case for him, he has regularly consulted him in difficult cases and considered him a great help.<ref>Manga Chapter 207: Hidden Within The Depth Of The Heart</ref> In stark contrast to this, he tends to think not much of [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and the [[Detective Boys]], usually thinking of them as a nuisance until they solve the ongoing case for him. Likewise, from their common police days, he has no high regard for [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]], and he thinks that he may actually be under some kind of jinx, since wherever Kogoro shows up, there is always some murder case nearby (a fact which actually conforms to Conan, which in later cases he seems to have realised).

In some Anime Originals Megure has the habit of trying to tell the culprit after they've been revealed that Murdering Is Bad And Totally Unforgivable, he doesn't do this in the manga though.

== Trivia ==
* Megure's scar has yet to be seen, because even when he was hospitalized, he either had his hat or had a bandage that wrapped the whole top of his head.
* Megure does not know how to work with computers well. He doesn't know the most basic jargon nor the proper way to turn one off.<ref name=379p>Manga Volume 37, File 7, :"Footsteps of Darkness 3"</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a self-proclaimed high school detective and practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]]. After making an mostly correct deduction during a murder case, she transfers to [[Setting#Teitan High School (帝丹高校)|Ran's high school class]]. She seems to know that Conan is a detective.

==Background==
Sera is a high school detective and skilled at Jeet Kune Do, a type of martial arts. She transfers in Ran and Sonoko's class at Teitan High. Little else is known about her background.

==Appearance==
[[Image:Sera_transfers.png‎|thumb|left|110px|Sera transfers to Teitan High School.]]At first, she wears a fedora and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears appropriate female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders.

==Personality==
Sera has a friendly and quirky personality. She fails to correct Sonoko's impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is "his type".<ref name=pronouns>The japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.</ref> She seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Hattori]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. Although she has crime scene experience<ref name=769p3>Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: "A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy"</ref>, Sera seems to be less skilled as a detective than Conan, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked (although it is down to interpretation whether she made this mistake on purpose or not). Her catchphrase may be "case closed".

==Plot overview==
Sera first met [[Sonoko]], [[Ran]], and [[Conan]] on a bus after she was mistaken for a [[Wikipedia:Chikan|groper]]. After Sonoko declared Sera was the groper, Sera and Ran got into a fight, with Sera's Jeet Kune Do holding even against Ran's karate. Conan and Sera cleared up the misunderstanding by pointing out the real groper. Sonoko then mistook Sera for a boy, an impression which wasn't helped by Sera declaring that Ran was "his type".<ref name=pronouns/> Sera and Ran both discovered they were heading to the same hotel, about which Conan is less than pleased.

Sera finds out the hotel she is staying at doesn't have a room available and complains at the front desk. A man then falls into the parking lot and dies. Conan runs to the source of screaming while Sera told the guard to watch the elevators before running to the roof. She immediately declares the crime to be a murder, giving her reasoning. She then reveals her name, Sera, that she is a detective, and knows Conan is a detective as well.

[[Megure]] is not pleased to have another High School Detective underfoot but lets Sera and Conan investigate regardless. After listening to the suspect testimony, police observations, and examining the crime scene, Sera announces that she has solved the case.

However, Sera's deduction leaves out a critical detail; Conan is therefore forced to use Shinichi's phone to call his own, give Inspector Megure Conan's phone, and speak through Shinichi's as Shinichi using the voice-changer bow tie. Shinichi figures out the detail that had Sera stumped, although a look she gives Conan as he runs off suggests her omission was possibly intentional, and once during the phone conversation she tries to trick Shinichi into admitting that he is physically present at the crime scene instead of being explained the details by Conan and Megure.

==Speculation==
[[Image:Sera Knowing Conan's Name.png‎|thumb|right|170px|Sera mentioning Conan's name.]] Sera knew Conan and Ran's identities before they introduced themselves. Although she claimed to know Ran from Karate tournaments, she additionally recognized Conan as a detective. This may indicate Sera has done research or follows stories about Conan's achievements or that she has had direct or indirect contact with Conan and Ran. However, Ran and Conan didn't recognize Sera. Sera might be one of Ran's martial arts rivals, although [[Ran]], did not recognize her.

Another possibility is that Sera could be [[Bourbon]] from the [[Black Organization]], though that is starting to look unlikely due to the fact that Bourbon is thought to be [[Bourbon#gender|a male]] while Sera is a female, as well as the fact that she is at Ran and Sonoko's age.
Another theory suggests that Sera is linked to Britain (possibly through seeing Conan during the London case) due mostly to the cover picture on Sera's first appearance showing the British flag on one of Conan's pockets and what seems to be her catchphrase of 'case closed'.

'''{{nihongo|Masumi Sera|世良真純|Sera Masumi}}''' is a self-proclaimed high school detective and practitioner of the martial art [[wikipedia:Jeet Kune Do|Jeet Kune Do]]. After making an mostly correct deduction during a murder case, she transfers to [[Setting#Teitan High School (帝丹高校)|Ran's high school class]]. She seems to know that Conan is a detective.

==Background==
Sera is a high school detective and skilled at Jeet Kune Do, a type of martial arts. She transfers in Ran and Sonoko's class at Teitan High. Little else is known about her background.

==Appearance==
[[Image:Sera_transfers.png‎|thumb|left|110px|Sera transfers to Teitan High School.]]At first, she wears a fedora and a dark jacket which gives her an androgynous appearance. When she transfers to Teitan High, she gets rid of her fedora and wears appropriate female clothing. Her hair is dark, wavy, and short; it doesn't even touch her shoulders.

==Personality==
Sera has a friendly and quirky personality. She fails to correct Sonoko's impression that she is a man and even makes it worse by declaring that Ran is "his type".<ref name=pronouns>The japanese pronoun used is gender neutral and can refer to either males or females.</ref> She seems to be prone to dramatics like most detectives are, but perhaps to a lesser degree than [[Shinichi]] or [[Hattori]] as she bluntly says who the criminal is without preamble. Although she has crime scene experience<ref name=769p3>Manga Volume 73, File 7, pg 3: "A Detective Just Like You, Little Boy"</ref>, Sera seems to be less skilled as a detective than Conan, apparently missing a critical clue that was necessary to understand how the murderer's setup worked (although it is down to interpretation whether she made this mistake on purpose or not). Her catchphrase may be "case closed".

'''{{nihongo|Subaru Okiya|沖矢昴|Okiya Subaru}}''' is an engineering student who currently resides in [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s house next to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. It is strongly hinted that he is the [[Black Organization]] member [[Bourbon]] although another popular theory is that Okiya is [[Shuichi Akai|Akai Shuuichi]] disguised after [[Akai faked his death theory|faking his death]] with [[Hidemi Hondou|Hondou Hidemi]]'s help.

== Background ==
[[Image:Okiya Keyhole larger60.jpg‎|thumb|left|125px|[[Gosho Aoyama|Aoyama Gosho]]'s colored drawing of Okiya Subaru in the keyhole for [[Volume 60]].]]
Okiya is a graduate student attending Tokyo University to earn a doctorate degree in engineering. He originally lived at a boarding house, where the landlord's son nicknamed him "Red Man," after a firetruck, because he frequently saw him watering the plants. After the boarding house burned down in the [[Red, White, Yellow, and the Detective Boys|Red, White, and Yellow Arson Case]], [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] suggested he move into [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s house, explaining to Agasa and [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] that someone living in the house would help to hide his (Shinichi's) disappearance. When Haibara protested, Conan cheerfully responded that someone who loves Sherlock Holmes cannot be a bad person - much to Haibara's consternation.<ref name=Neighbor>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 5: The New Neighbor</ref> Nevertheless, Conan decided to keep from Subaru which persons - specifically [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] - were closely connected to Shinichi.<ref>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 638 - Paper Airplane</ref>

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

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

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

==Attributes==
===Intelligence===
Okiya is an intelligent character with observation and case solving abilities comparable to Conan's. On his first meeting with Sonoko an Ran, he correctly deduces they had been to the restaurant "Wonder Burger" and what they to eat while they were there.<ref name="638p">Manga Chapter 638</ref> He tends to hold back to allow Conan or others to present their conclusions rather than take center stage himself.<ref>Red, White, and Yellow case, Ikkaku Rock, Red Shirts case.</ref>

===Black Organization aura===
Okiya emits what Haibara describes as the aura of the [[Black Organization]] when he is intently focused on another person<ref>Red, White, and Yellow case</ref> or is acting as an aggressor.<ref>Ikkaku Rock, 252 case</ref> Haibara only gets the feeling from him transiently.

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

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

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

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

Conan and Agasa are quick to view Okiya as a resource, seen in the Rolls Royce explosion case where Agasa suggests calling Okiya to bring gasoline when his beetle runs out in a remote location, and later in the same case where Conan secretly asks for his help to set up a trap to trick the culprit into confessing.

===Paper airplane case===
[[Image:Episode 510-Okiya-Ran.jpg‎|thumb|right|[[Mouri Ran]] greets Okiya Subaru with a kick to the face after mistaking him for a robber.]]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Relationship Analysis==
Subaru has met [[Conan]], [[Haibara]], [[Mitsuhiko]], [[Ayumi]], [[Genta]], [[Inspector Yuminaga]], [[Agasa]], [[Ran]], [[Sonoko]],<ref>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 638 - Paper Airplane</ref> [[Jugo Yokomizo|Juugo Yokomizo]], [[Kogoro]], [[Jodie Starling]], and [[Scar Akai]].<ref>Manga [[Volume 67]] File 700-704: Department Store Bomber Case</ref>

*'''Okiya Subaru and Conan'''
Conan trusts Okiya for the most part, and they maintain an amicable relationship. Conan easily lends Okiya the keys to his house.<ref name=Neighbor>Manga [[Volume 60]] File 5: The New Neighbor</ref> Conan also trusts Okiya to help in cases that put him in close contact with both [[Ai Haibara]] and him, like switching out the gasoline in a container for water to solve a case,<ref name=Crackle>Manga Volume 61 File 7: Crackle</ref> or calling him to pick up everyone when [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]’s car broke down.<ref name=Burn>Manga Volume 61 File 5: Burn</ref> Okiya respects Conan and his intelligence and they both can solve cases at about the same level.

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

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

==Identity==
Okiya's allegiances, goals, and true identity -if he has one- have not been officially revealed.

=== Bourbon ===
[[Image:800px-Episode 581-6.jpg‎|thumb|right|Okiya smirking after telling [[Conan]] that he saw [[scar Akai]] at the [[Setting#Beika department store|Beika department store]].]]
As mentioned above, it is frequently hinted that he may be [[Black Organization]] member Bourbon. Okiya is intelligent and observant, much like [[Hidemi Hondou]] describes Bourbon. In both the Paper Airplane Case and the Department Store Bomber case he is shown to be exactly on par with Conan.<ref>Manga [[Volume 61]] Files 8-10 (Paper Airplane Case)</ref><ref name=Bomber>Manga Chapter 702: The Bomber's Aim</ref> Okiya is also shown to be drinking [[wikipedia:Maker's Mark|Maker's Mark]] brand bourbon after the [[Deduction Showdown! Shinichi vs. Subaru Okiya|Paper Plane Case]].<ref>Manga [[Volume 61]] File 10: Rescue</ref>

During the Department Store Bomber Case, Okiya notices [[Scar Akai]], but when Scar Akai turns to look in his direction, he has suddenly moved out of sight to the back of the crowd, hiding his face and smiling.<ref name=Bomber></ref> He also smiles when he sees [[Chianti]] in the building across the street, aiming at the store entrance.<ref>Manga Chapter 703: The Truth Within the Snow Storm</ref>

Ai has told Conan that Okiya definitely gives her the dreaded feeling she gets from the Black Organization,<ref>Manga [[Volume 64]] File 1: Ikkaku Rock</ref> and she became certain he was with them during the Ikkaku Rock Case, where he gave a speech to the culprit about how impossible it is to ever truly escape anything, a speech she felt was intended for her<ref name=Speech>Manga [[Volume 64]] File 3: Thirst for Blood</ref> When Ai asks why Conan would allow someone as suspicious as him live in the Kudo house, he jokingly answers "No one who likes Holmes can be bad",<ref name=Neighbor></ref> but his real reason appears to be to observe him for suspicious activity.<ref>Manga [[Volume 65]] File 6: A Dangerous Couple</ref>

[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] also feels uneasy around him and thinks he looks familiar.<ref name=Ran>Manga [[Volume 61]] File 9: Message</ref> At Shinichi's request, Ran goes out of her way to refrain from talking to Okiya about him during the Paper Airplane Case, although Okiya seems to realize anyway who the mystery loving classmate Ran is talking about is Shinichi.<ref name=Ran></ref>

===Shuichi Akai===
{{Main|Okiya is Akai Theory}}
[[Image:Okiya_Akai_Face_Compare.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Okiya and Akai have similar faces.]]
Besides Bourbon, another popular theory is that Okiya is [[Shuichi Akai]] who had [[Akai faked his death theory|faked his death]] with [[Hidemi Hondou|Mizunashi Rena]]'s help. Except for the hair and the glasses, Okiya and Akai look very similar and have similar builds. The glasses Okiya is wearing may be an incorrect prescription, forcing him to squint on purpose similar to what happened with Genta’s dad.<ref>Manga Chapters 658-660: Boar Scroll Case</ref> Okiya is also left-handed like Akai Shuichi.

Conan appears to instantly trust Okiya Subaru, uncharacteristically ignoring Haibara's bad reaction to him. He also doesn't mind that Okiya is around Haibara, letting him stay at Shinichi's house next door and even suggesting to her to call him when Agasa's beetle broke down. The reason "A Holmes fan can't be a bad person!"<ref>Manga Chapter 624: A New Neighbor</ref> Conan gives Haibara as to why he trusts Okiya makes no sense, since the Holmes Freak Murder case<ref> Manga Chapters 117-120: Holmes Freak Murder Case</ref> involved only Sherlock fans and the password to the [[APTX 4869|APTX]] data was Sherringford, an indication someone in the Black Organization may be also be a Holmes fan.

Conan also seemed to know about Okiya’s address before ever meeting him.<ref> Manga Chapter 622: Red, White and Yellow</ref> Ran also feels she recognizes Okiya from somewhere.<ref> Manga Chapter 638: Paper Airplane</ref> Ran has met Akai three times prior to meeting Okiya.<ref> Manga Chapter 329: Sato's Odds</ref><ref> Manga Chapters 353-354: Golden Apple Case 4 & 5</ref><ref> Manga Chapters 379-380: Footsteps of Darkness</ref>. Finally, Okiya Subaru is a pun on "Char Aznable", which is also the source of "Akai Shuichi" and his alias "Moroboshi Dai" as well.

The theory that Okiya is Akai requires that [[scar Akai|the Akai with the scar]] is a different character in disguise, [[Scar Akai is Bourbon Theory|possibly Bourbon]], because both Subaru and scar Akai both appear in the same crowd at the same time.<ref>Manga Chapters 700-704: Department Store Bomber Case</ref>

===Third Party===
Some amount of fans have also been making third party theories; theories in which Subaru is neither Akai nor Bourbon, but someone else entirely. These theories include, but are not limited to Okiya being part of Interpol, CIA, or one of Akai's unknown connections.

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

==Quotes==
{{quote|If I had to choose, I'd say black because it is a color that covers things inside me that I don't want known. Well, I hate the color black for the same reason as well.|File 623 pg 7|Okiya Subaru responding to [[Inspector Yuminaga]]'s question about what is his favorite color.}}

{{quote|0.12%... That would be the probability that a criminal will succeed in escaping. That's about 1 in every 1000 people; however, of those that fall under the devil's influence, many grow tired of leading a false life and living in fear. If we eliminate those who eventually surrender to the police and those that opt for suicide, the amount that do successfully escape amounts to nearly zero. Are you prepared to endure the feelings of loneliness and pressure as a result of your actions?|File 666 pg 14|Okiya Subaru speaking off the top of his head trying to provoke a culprit holding [[Ayumi]] hostage into turning his knife on him instead. It worked.}}

{{quote|Although... I would like to serve that lot some hot and bitter coffee... that lot waiting so anxiously in the heat for their prey...|File 703 pg 5|Okiya Subaru talking to a waitress about the [[Black Organization]] staking out the [[Setting#Beika Department store|Beika Department store]].}}

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