=== Situation ===
The world's greatest blue sapphire, the "blue lapis fist", said to have sunk in a pirate ship in the late 19th century, on the coasts of Singapore. A local millionaire plots to retrieve it, and when it's exhibited in an exhibition at the Singaporean [[Wikipedia: Marina Bay Sands|Marina Sands]] hotel, a murder takes place. A bloody [[Kaitou Kid]] announcement card is found in the crime scene.

In the meantime, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] have come to Singapore to see a karate tournament held there. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], who doesn't have a passport and can't travel overseas, was supposed to stay at home. But Kid, who wants to make use of him, uses a magical trick to forcibly drag him to Singapore. Conan must obey Kid if he wants to get back to Japan, gets his glasses, wristwatch and clothes, amongst others, all stolen from him and he has to disguise himself.

Ran, who doesn't realize who he is, asks him his name and he improvises the name Arthur Hirai. Kid eventually gets a hold of information about the "fist" being stored in a manor's underground vault. Just when he was thinking that he'd made it inside very easily, he finds a dangerous trap awaiting him. Facing him is the strongest karateka with 400 consecutive victories: [[Makoto Kyogoku]].

* Some live action scenes from Singapore ([[Wikipedia: Fountain of Wealth|Fountain of Wealth]], [[Wikipedia: Gardens by the Bay|Gardens by the Bay]], [[Wikipedia: Singapore Flyer|Singapore Flyer]], and also Marina Bay Sands Skypark) appeared before in [[The Darkest Nightmare#Trivia|The Darkest Nightmare]]'s ending credits.
* This movie will be the first setting in another Asian country, never happened in the manga and anime series. The case of the [[Crimson School Trip#Trivia|Crimson School Trip]] had to be initially set in Singapore.
* "Arthur Hirai" comes from [[Wikipedia: Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur Conan Doyle]] and [[Wikipedia:Edogawa Ranpo|Taro Hirai]], just like "Conan Edogawa".

=== Situation ===
Conan, Ran, and Kogoro go to Cafe Poirot in the morning for breakfast. Kogorō barges in before the shop actually opens causing Azusa to be angry. She, however, welcomes Ran and Conan to come in as well. Azusa uses IoT (Internet of Things) to control the electric kettle to boil water sometime before they reach the cafe. As they have breakfast, an issue seems to be happening with Amuro's cake. Last night when he prepared it, it was perfect but this morning it has melted. The Detective Boys call Conan using the Detective Badge informing him of the Professor's latest invention, a drone. While the communication is taking place, the rotors of the drone suddenly start spinning and it flies and crashes into the roof causing Agasa to be disappointed. He goes inside to fix the drone. Conan witnesses the panic on the other side.

The electrician is called for fixing the refrigerator but he claims that there is nothing wrong with it. Ayumi after eating the cake runs to a nearby restaurant which sells cakes suspiciously similar to Amuro's, but taste completely different with Amuro's being more delicious. The Detective Boys claim that someone in the restaurant probably ruined Amuro's cake to make their sales bigger. Conan, drove by his own curiosity as well as the Detective Boys persuasion, installs his phone to record footage of Cafe Poirot during the night. Nothing suspicious is seen in the footage.

Azusa says that the cake only melts two out of every three days. Conan continues to capture footage and finds that the days the cake melted corresponds to a car passing by the cafe the night before, of which the reflection is seen in the windows of the cafe but the inside of the cafe can not be seen.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
[[File:radio.png|thumb|right|The culprit's face revealed]]
Conan explains the phenomenon of the cake melting by the concept of '''wave interference'''. The taxi that passed by the cafe used radio waves which had the same frequency as used by the electric kettle, which caused the kettle to boil the water in it and emit steam near the refrigerator air inlet vent. This caused the hot air to enter the refrigerator thereby melting the cake. This was also the reason why they couldn't see the inside of the cafe through the glass during the days the cake had melted due to the water vapour sticking to the interior surface of the glass. Coincidentally, this was also the reason Agasa's drone started flying by itself because the frequency of the Detective Badge used by Mitshuiko to communicate with Conan was the same as the radio wave frequency used by the drone to communicate with it's remote controller.

When he said that he already has a plan to solve the problem, Amuro originally planned to make the cake such that it wouldn't require refrigeration instead of solving the mystery of the melting of the cake. He finally succeeds in his attempt by half-baking the cake and putting the frosting of cream and yogurt and fruit on top of it before serving, which is greatly complimented by everyone including Conan.

Kogoro exclaims that he forgot the real reason he returned to the cafe. He hands out a government-issued notice. Some of the roads will be closed temporarily due to the event of Tokyo Summit being held on May 1st. Amuro has also taken leave from Cafe Poirot for that day. Conan says that after all, he wasn't disregarding his duty as a Public Service Officer.

Conan's final words are: "At that time, I had no idea the Amuro, who was enjoying baking cakes over solving cases, would do something like that." This hints towards the plot of movie 22 where Amuro seemingly turns against Conan. The final scene shows a lighthouse emitting light beams with the city in the background.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* This is the second [[Glossary#Anime Original (AO)/ Anime Exclusive|TV original episode]] after [[The Shadow Approaching Amuro#Trivia|The Shadow Approaching Amuro]] to feature [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]].
* The episode's scripwriter, Takeharu Sakurai, stated in an interview that the anime production team requested that the episode only be about food, and contain no murder. This was also the case for Sakurai's last two filler episodes movies' prologue, [[The Missing Sweets in the Old Shop]] and [[The Shadow Approaching Amuro]]. [[Munch's Missing Scream]] being the only exception.
* The taxi from Teiko Transit car 227 is a 1991 black Toyota Crown Sedan. The license plate number is 新宿 530, い 05-03 (Shinjuku 530, I 05-03).
* This episode was included in the extra DVD of [[Zero the Enforcer]].

The culprits in this case are Gotaro Karahashi's own children: '''Kozo''', '''Mitsuyo''', and '''Eisuke'''. The three worked in concert to get rid of their father's altered last will, which would have left them with no inheritance. This disgusts Ran and yells at the siblings for putting Conan's life in danger over a stupid alternation of a will. Hearing this put the siblings in shock.</spoiler>

* There is a mistake in the first episode. In the earlier scene, Mitsuyo has the white and black shoes but Kozo's feet does not. Later all three siblings have on the white and black shoes.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Mayama clings to the railing in fear, and suddenly the serial killer shows up and pushes him over the balustrade. Hopefully, Mayama lands on an air mattress, settled by the police. Shinichi, Heiji and Masumi tell the killer his plan failed, and reveal him to be '''Riki Agata'''. The three teenagers say they solved the code: Dekuri's symbol was actually to be considered as a compass, and according to it, and to the code's kanji characters' position, and to the fact that these characters were extracted from some of Kyoto's streets' and districts' names corresponding to the position, the code can be understood as a succession of kanji characters who correspond to the first or second syllables of the streets' or districts' names they originate, for instance "kon" for "kontaka", etc., from left to right. The first lines of each code then read "koro sunoha", which means "I'm about to kill". Heiji says the reversed "saki" kanji means its corresponding character, "pon", is to be reversed to "npo", then "n". The first code accordingly means "I'm going to kill three people, the first one being the screenwriter". The second reads "I'm going to kill two more people, the next one being the leading role". And the third is "I'm going to kill one more person, then I'll jump off the balcony". In fact, Agata wanted to kill Mayama and pretend he was the murderer and committed suicide after he failed to kill Agata.

Agata had beforehand booked all of the hotel's smoking rooms and checked one out for Nishiki just as the latter was phoning the hotel. In this room, Agata had previously painted the ceiling red with fake blood splatters and footprints. He then stuck magnetic post-its (similar to Nishiki's ones) over the whole ceiling in order to conceal it, the post-its being of the same color as the ceiling. After killing Nishiki, Agata unstuck all post-its and threw them away on the floor, mixing them up with Nishiki's own ones. He then opened the window and sprayed some of Nishiki's blood with a syringe on the fake blood traces, to pretend he had indeed been murdered on the ceiling by a tengu. Agata, a plastic art expert, also made a fake tengu out of guncotton and used alcohol-ink marker pens to draw on it. He then pasted the very light piece of artwork on his room's ceiling, screamed, pretending to be assaulted by a monster, and threw the ashtray with his lit cigarette in it to the tengu's face to have it explode, burn and vanish into thin air, as this is how guncotton reacts to fire. He had lit his cigarette not long ago to do so, explaining the only 3-centimeter burn patterns left by his cigarette on the floor, that should have been longer if he'd been smoking for a longer period of time.

Agata had also prepared the restaurant's inuyarai by previously painting it red with the usual traces, but covering it with another inuyarai. After he killed Ihaya, he removed the cover inuyarai, threw his bloody glove, dagger and coat into it and put it over another restaurant's inuyarai. He hadn't left any fingerprints on the bloody things for the police still to believe Mayama was the murderer. Shinichi had noticed the dust gap around the first inuyarai, implying it had been covered by something that protected it from dust. Lastly, to frighten Mayama into pinning himself against the railing, Agata used a directional loudspeaker only Mayama could hear, with Dekuri's voice, and had previously painted transparent sheets with red footprints and stuck them on the balcony's floor, covering each of them with another sheet of the same color as the floor, to conceal them. He would then tie fishing lines to each of these same-color sheets and pull them away one after the other in order to fool Mayama into believing Dekuri was walking in his direction, and speaking to him. Agata left his fingerprints on the sheets as he was certain Mayama would die and everybody would rush to the railing, leaving him time and space enough to retrieve all sheets and discarding them later.

Agata tries to run away but gets surrounded by the police who were disguised as visitors. Agata finally confesses to being the serial killer, giving two bumps to his victims just like the tengu does to Kobutori Tale's evil old man who tries to imitate the good Kobutori, just like Nishiki, Ihaya and Mayama stole Dekuri's work and pretended his name would feature in the movie's credits while it was eventually not the case. Agata asked them for an explanation, saying Dekuri cried unceasingly, and the three men replied they were so happy their plan had worked perfectly, thus implying they wanted to humiliate their depressed friend and never had the intention to put his name in the movie. But Keiko and Mayama turn up and say that the producers had modified some very important typology spaces in the credits, preventing the name "Michio Dekuri" from appearing. As actually the name was supposed to appear across the five people's vertical names, which is why everyone changed names and spaces. Dekuri's name was supposed to appear at the same time, and it didn't beacuse of the producers, who didn't want to clear up the mistake afterwards for financial reasons. Agata wasn't told about it as their friends wanted Dekuri and him to discover the surprise while watching the movie together, as they were really close friends. Agata howls in regrets for what he did to his friends.

After the case is solved, Ran talks about a nice place that Okita had told her about and as Sonoko and Masumi start going ahead, Shinichi holds Ran back and asks her how she feels about him. Shinichi mentions Ran's meeting with Okita the previous and wonders if she has forgotten about his confession in London. In response, Ran pulls him closer by grabbing his tie and kisses him on the cheek.

Shinichi moves to kiss Ran on the lips, but the antidote begins to wear off, and he flees.

Masumi gives chase, only to run into Heiji. She realizes that the rucksack Heiji is wearing has the shrunken Shinichi inside it, but doesn't directly confront the two about it. Shinichi and Heiji therefore understand that Masumi knows about Shinichi being Conan.

A teacher of Teitan High School tells students Shinichi has to leave due to an emergency, and tells them not to say a word about Shinichi's coming and presence to Kyoto, as specially asked for by Shinichi himself.

Ran tells Sonoko she actually took Okita aside to give him back his talisman he had dropped during the "Kendo Case" (Vol. 94). She apologised to Okita because she and her father unwittingly opened the talisman, and found a piece of wood and a picture showing Moroha Kurogane, Okita's secret love and a skilled high school kendo practitioner as well. Okita says Moroha is actually his rival Yaiba Kurogane's little sister, and he will date Moroha as soon as he defeats Yaiba at kendo. Okita accepts Ran's excuse but just asks her not to tell a word of this to Momiji, probably because he loves her as well.

As Shinichi and Ran exchange texts about what the kiss means for their relationship, both of them being mutually satisfied with each other's declaration, Masumi speaks with Mary. Mary orders her to obtain the "medicine" that will return her to her true age, so that they can stop running, and counter-attack.

Heiji gives Conan a motorbike ride back to Tokyo, and Ran texts Shinichi to ask him if they're officially dating each other now. Conan thinks about the last antidote Haibara gave him but which he couldn't take as the timing made it impossible: the class was leaving Kyoto and Shinichi still needed to wait for another 8 hours before taking it... Heiji secretly envies Shinichi who not only "stole" his second favourite place in Japan to confess his love to Kazuha, but also as Shinichi is his rival, he now sets the bar high and Heiji has from here on to go further in his relationship with Kazuha as well.

Yukiko and Yusaku are watching the Kyoto Case on TV, in Los Angeles, and are puzzled over the case being so much broadcasted, even worldwide, and hitting the headlines. Yusaku replies it has to do with the victims' and culprit's fame. As Yukiko feels moved to hear the crime motive was Kyoko's boyfriend's death, Yusaku explains he knew about Michio Dekuri's full name as he had seen the movie's poster online and noticed the rearrangement of names and spaces, exactly the same as for the movie's credits, showing the boyfriend's name across his other friends' names, which is why Kyoko/Keiko changed her name. He then comments on the fact Dekuri would have probably not killed himself if he had seen the poster earlier. He also talks about a more burning issue: has Shinichi been spotted by media or else while he was solving the case ? Shinichi is considered dead for most people, including the Black Organisation.

His fears prove to be right as the case indeed attracts global attention, and someone claims that the apparently dead Shinichi Kudo helped to solve the case. Hyoue Kuroda, Kanenori Wakita, and Rumi Wakasa (who is revealed to have access to the APTX victim list) all take notice of this.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* This case had to be initially set in Singapore, but that Asian country is reserved for [[The Fist of Blue Sapphire#trivia|The Fist of Blue Sapphire]].
* Along with [[Conan and Ebizo's Kabuki Jūhachiban Mystery#Trivia|Conan and Ebizo's Kabuki Jūhachiban Mystery]], this is the second one hour special episode, transmitted in two parts.
* The anime staff went to Kyoto to take reference material (photos, videos, etc.) for the two episodes special in the last months preceding the creation of the special.

=== Aftermath ===
After the culprit were arrested, the detective boys returned to the neighborhood where the old lady was to return her the bill.

* As Genta eats his eel stick, the Detective Boys ask him to chase after a bill so he runs after it but mysteriously swallows the remains of eel on his stick with the stick included. It might be a production mistake or perhaps, a proof that Genta can eat anything.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious boss behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called as '''{{nihongo|Ano kata|あの方|lit. "That Person"}}''' by his subordinates, and the primary antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:EP219-Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|right|Sunset Manor]]
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful and political people contacts. He is the very best richer than [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] and [[Ooka family]].<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> He is said to have died elderly between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under mysterious circumstances.<ref>Senma's father was working for Karasuma around forty years ago, back in the days before they invented copiers. However, when Senma discovered the secret message in her father's letter twenty years ago, Karasuma was already dead.</ref> During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited [[Sunset Manor]] from her and over time filled his vacation home with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up crow. Below are several examples about that logo:
<spoiler>
{|
| style="vertical-align: top" | [[File:Crow crest 00.jpg|thumb|left|x150px|Villa junction]]
| style="vertical-align: top" | [[File:Crow crest 01.jpg|thumb|left|x150px|Flatware]]

|}</spoiler>

He found a clue about the King, Queen, and Knight leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had declined, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku<ref>All his subordinates' anime version cars have indeed Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate.</ref> that pay well as sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them<ref>Manga Volume 95, File 8; anime episode TBD.</ref>, so directs activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "The [[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261<ref>In episode 398, the number is wrong #696#6261.</ref>, purposefully made non-functional by [[Gosho Aoyama]] to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] warns Conan of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. He is responsible for promoting agents<ref name=v53f10>Manga Volume 53, File 10; anime episode 464.</ref> and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] think that only a few of the highest ranking executive agents like [[Gin]] or [[Vermouth]] could lead them to the elusive boss.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to the Black Organization for many years for a single mistake. Vermouth says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8; anime episode 581.</ref> Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization despite many agents disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. He is known to give permission to agents who wish to pursue certain secret missions, such as [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and Vermouth's plan to make sure [[Shuichi Akai]] was truly dead.

He is especially close to Vermouth, who is described as his favorite, much to the chagrin of her enemies and those who mistrust her. He is also close to Gin, who often acts as an intermediary between he and other agents. Gin usually takes the lead planning role in assassinations that he has ordered. While most agents follow his orders, some agents have acted contrary to his wishes. As Conan before, he notices the photo of [[Pisco]] pointing his gun at the ceiling. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

The FBI believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought Akai could become a "[[Silver Bullet]]", someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. In that regard, he's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

== Appearance ==
[[File:M13-Crow.jpg|thumb|right|A crow in question.]]
Renya Karasuma has only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest and sometimes is used to introduced the Black Organization enshrouded in mystery or even other unrelated cases. The operatives dress in black, which [[Akemi Miyano]] says is supposed to resemble crows, so he is a crow-like man and Sunset Manor was his personified nest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
One stormy night, the six world greatest detectives [[Kogoro Mouri]] (along with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan, since [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] canceled), [[Saguru Hakuba]] (and his pet hawk Watson), Furuyo Senma, Shukuzen Ogami, Harufumi Mogi, and Ikumi Soda were invited by [[Kaitou Kid]] to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, an Inaka Village<ref>{{nihongo|Inaka Village|稲香村|Inakamura}} is a common name to many little unnamed villages across the countryside of Japan, who just have a few houses, rice fields and without any large cities near it.</ref> at 2 km from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]<ref>Anime original information, according to the villa junction and not Tokyo as Saguru Hakuba said.</ref> and six miles from a lonely gas station. While they were having their so-called "last supper", the host<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for his crime organization.</ref> told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who forty years ago had died at age 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention. Hakuba had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were lies about an out-of-control auction from the powerful business world caused by two art robbers with marijuana cigarettes smoke.
[[File:Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|left|The entire Golden Manor.]]
At the end of the case, it is revealed that two years ago, after Senma accidentally let the story slip to him, Ogami immediately tracked down the house and started to look for the treasure, but he couldn't solve the riddle. He had put himself into massive debt to buy the house and was in serious trouble, so he came up with the plan to assemble a team of great detectives, but he was poisoned with potassium cyanide by his partner Senma before did just like Karasuma forty years ago. Along with Kogoro, Hakuba, Mogi, and Soda, Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer comes off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Soda notes that it must be worth 100 billion yen, and that only Karasuma could do something on such a scale. Sunset being when the sky shines gold, it is literally a "Golden Manor".

Disguised as Kogoro from the start, Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Ogami, who wanted to kill the young maid Aki Ishihara and all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found, and Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her while she was still alive, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind Gin, [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], as also his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk Shinichi's and her body, Haibara visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, as also the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|Special Manga]]
=== The Last Wizard of the Century (Movie: [[The Last Wizard of the Century|3]]) ===
While Conan chases down leads on their organization, he's constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction sequence, one night running on ancient Greek ruins, he is suddenly stuck behind by a huge red demon with evil aura, of course the boss as the heart of the Black Organization, who moves among numerous yellow pieces, that represent all minor cases.

=== Time Travel of the Silver Sky (TV Special: [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky|1]]) ===
A software created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] can give the identity of anyone in the world and tries to find out the boss' identity between [[Tomoaki Araide]], Sharon Vineyard, Chiyoko Yuasa, Yusaku Kudo, four Shinichi's classmates, and a circus white lion, but eventually failed because of his untouchable forbidden area.

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth (episode 385).]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but being only the general oversight division secretary, Gin takes full responsibility.<ref>Episode 345 and movie 13.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth (episode 398).]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 5; anime episode 783.</ref> However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an off-season Halloween party aboard a ship, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. At the party, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone informing her that her freedom was now being restricted and she was to return: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth."

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth.<ref>Manga Volume 48, File 10; anime episode 425.</ref> For avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 1; anime episode 425.</ref> She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.<ref name=v53f10/>

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel|an FBI agent]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. [[Akai faked his death theory|Akai and Kir conspired to fake Akai's death]].

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9; anime episode 129.</ref> Before she could be even executed, Shiho manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 7; anime episode 129.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11; anime episode 178.</ref> Conan figures out his full number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him not to call it. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] has served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. After Pisco was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
He sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda write to his e-mail address every day.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to disguise himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]], infiltrate into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the greatest enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. When he met Gin and Vodka on a bullet train to Kyoto, Conan hoped that they could be meeting their mastermind in the dining car, but the resolution revealed that it wasn't his primary target.<ref>The [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with two lookalike criminals unrelated to the Black Organization, and the line about their mastermind was omitted.</ref> Gin's discussion with Pisco about the planned murder of Nomiguchi revealed to Conan his existence. Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. Asking confirm to [[Kyosuke Haga]] about that old song, Conan later uncovers his phone number, but Haibara warns him of the danger of calling it. From now on, until this comes to a close, Shinichi is in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by [[Andre Camel]]. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most.

==== Kyosuke Senma ====
[[File:EP219-Kyosuke Senma.jpg|thumb|right|Kyosuke Senma reminded by his old daughter.]]
Kyosuke Senma was an archeologist who Karasuma invited to his manor house forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. He had made copies of the riddle on a cheap mimeograph print on straw paper to hand out, and left one stuck between the piano keys. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. Become a famous detective, Furuyo only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Renya had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle: "I've finally gotten hold of the trump card that will decipher Karasuma's riddle, Kyosuke Senma." The key to the riddle was "Trump card" and he was referring to the respective playing card ranks. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref name=black/> and was taken into custody for Ogami's planned murder.

|}

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a [[Wikipedia: Tengu|Tengu]], a long-nosed demon that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and as that bird represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. According to the Old Testament, [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]] was the most wise King of Israel, but in his old age, many years after the [[Wikipedia: Queen of Sheba|Queen of Sheba]]'s visit, became corrupt due his many foreign wives, so received divine punishment and a glorious kingdom falled after his death. There is a possible parallel, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* According to Kogoro, his house looks more like Dracula's Castle than Sunset Manor, and up close even more like a haunted house. Because he sure is a terrible character, there's no doubt he is a cruel vampire, also known as a murderer, and the Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
* In addition to the author, until we finally reached his identity, only [[Minami Takayama]], his former wife and Conan's voice actor, and the anime production knew who was the boss.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as Shinichi/Conan's arch-enemy is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious boss behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called as '''{{nihongo|Ano kata|あの方|lit. "That Person"}}''' by his subordinates, and the primary antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:EP219-Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|right|Sunset Manor]]
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful and political people contacts. He is the very best richer than [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] and [[Ooka family]].<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> He is said to have died elderly between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under mysterious circumstances.<ref>Senma's father was working for Karasuma around forty years ago, back in the days before they invented copiers. However, when Senma discovered the secret message in her father's letter twenty years ago, Karasuma was already dead.</ref> During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited [[Sunset Manor]] from her and over time filled his vacation home with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up crow. Below are several examples about that logo:

He found a clue about the King, Queen, and Knight leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had declined, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku<ref>All his subordinates' anime version cars have indeed Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate.</ref> that pay well as sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them<ref>Manga Volume 95, File 8; anime episode TBD.</ref>, so directs activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "The [[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261<ref>In episode 398, the number is wrong #696#6261.</ref>, purposefully made non-functional by [[Gosho Aoyama]] to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] warns Conan of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. He is responsible for promoting agents<ref name=v53f10>Manga Volume 53, File 10; anime episode 464.</ref> and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] think that only a few of the highest ranking executive agents like [[Gin]] or [[Vermouth]] could lead them to the elusive boss.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to the Black Organization for many years for a single mistake. Vermouth says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8; anime episode 581.</ref> Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization despite many agents disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. He is known to give permission to agents who wish to pursue certain secret missions, such as [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and Vermouth's plan to make sure [[Shuichi Akai]] was truly dead.

He is especially close to Vermouth, who is described as his favorite, much to the chagrin of her enemies and those who mistrust her. He is also close to Gin, who often acts as an intermediary between he and other agents. Gin usually takes the lead planning role in assassinations that he has ordered. While most agents follow his orders, some agents have acted contrary to his wishes. As Conan before, he notices the photo of [[Pisco]] pointing his gun at the ceiling. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

The FBI believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought Akai could become a "[[Silver Bullet]]", someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. In that regard, he's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

== Appearance ==
[[File:M13-Crow.jpg|thumb|right|A crow in question.]]
Renya Karasuma has only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest and sometimes is used to introduced the Black Organization enshrouded in mystery or even other unrelated cases. The operatives dress in black, which [[Akemi Miyano]] says is supposed to resemble crows, so he is a crow-like man and Sunset Manor was his personified nest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
One stormy night, the six world greatest detectives [[Kogoro Mouri]] (along with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan, since [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] canceled), [[Saguru Hakuba]] (and his pet hawk Watson), Furuyo Senma, Shukuzen Ogami, Harufumi Mogi, and Ikumi Soda were invited by [[Kaitou Kid]] to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, an Inaka Village<ref>{{nihongo|Inaka Village|稲香村|Inakamura}} is a common name to many little unnamed villages across the countryside of Japan, who just have a few houses, rice fields and without any large cities near it.</ref> at 2 km from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]<ref>Anime original information, according to the villa junction and not Tokyo as Saguru Hakuba said.</ref> and six miles from a lonely gas station. While they were having their so-called "last supper", the host<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for his crime organization.</ref> told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who forty years ago had died at age 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention. Hakuba had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were lies about an out-of-control auction from the powerful business world caused by two art robbers with marijuana cigarettes smoke.
[[File:Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|left|The entire Golden Manor.]]
At the end of the case, it is revealed that two years ago, after Senma accidentally let the story slip to him, Ogami immediately tracked down the house and started to look for the treasure, but he couldn't solve the riddle. He had put himself into massive debt to buy the house and was in serious trouble, so he came up with the plan to assemble a team of great detectives, but he was poisoned with potassium cyanide by his partner Senma before did just like Karasuma forty years ago. Along with Kogoro, Hakuba, Mogi, and Soda, Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer comes off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Soda notes that it must be worth 100 billion yen, and that only Karasuma could do something on such a scale. Sunset being when the sky shines gold, it is literally a "Golden Manor".

Disguised as Kogoro from the start, Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Ogami, who wanted to kill the young maid Aki Ishihara and all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found, and Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her while she was still alive, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind Gin, [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], as also his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk Shinichi's and her body, Haibara visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, as also the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|Special Manga]]
=== The Last Wizard of the Century (Movie: [[The Last Wizard of the Century|3]]) ===
While Conan chases down leads on their organization, he's constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction sequence, one night running on ancient Greek ruins, he is suddenly stuck behind by a huge red demon with evil aura, of course the boss as the heart of the Black Organization, who moves among numerous yellow pieces, that represent all minor cases.

=== Time Travel of the Silver Sky (TV Special: [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky|1]]) ===
A software created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] can give the identity of anyone in the world and tries to find out the boss' identity between [[Tomoaki Araide]], Sharon Vineyard, Chiyoko Yuasa, Yusaku Kudo, four Shinichi's classmates, and a circus white lion, but eventually failed because of his untouchable forbidden area.

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth (episode 385).]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but being only the general oversight division secretary, Gin takes full responsibility.<ref>Episode 345 and movie 13.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth (episode 398).]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 5; anime episode 783.</ref> However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an off-season Halloween party aboard a ship, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. At the party, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone informing her that her freedom was now being restricted and she was to return: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth."

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth.<ref>Manga Volume 48, File 10; anime episode 425.</ref> For avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 1; anime episode 425.</ref> She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.<ref name=v53f10/>

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel|an FBI agent]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. [[Akai faked his death theory|Akai and Kir conspired to fake Akai's death]].

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9; anime episode 129.</ref> Before she could be even executed, Shiho manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 7; anime episode 129.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11; anime episode 178.</ref> Conan figures out his full number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him not to call it. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] has served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. After Pisco was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
He sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda write to his e-mail address every day.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to disguise himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]], infiltrate into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the greatest enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. When he met Gin and Vodka on a bullet train to Kyoto, Conan hoped that they could be meeting their mastermind in the dining car, but the resolution revealed that it wasn't his primary target.<ref>The [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with two lookalike criminals unrelated to the Black Organization, and the line about their mastermind was omitted.</ref> Gin's discussion with Pisco about the planned murder of Nomiguchi revealed to Conan his existence. Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. Asking confirm to [[Kyosuke Haga]] about that old song, Conan later uncovers his phone number, but Haibara warns him of the danger of calling it. From now on, until this comes to a close, Shinichi is in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by [[Andre Camel]]. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most.

==== Kyosuke Senma ====
[[File:EP219-Kyosuke Senma.jpg|thumb|right|Kyosuke Senma reminded by his old daughter.]]
Kyosuke Senma was an archeologist who Karasuma invited to his manor house forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. He had made copies of the riddle on a cheap mimeograph print on straw paper to hand out, and left one stuck between the piano keys. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. Become a famous detective, Furuyo only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Renya had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle: "I've finally gotten hold of the trump card that will decipher Karasuma's riddle, Kyosuke Senma." The key to the riddle was "Trump card" and he was referring to the respective playing card ranks. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref name=black/> and was taken into custody for Ogami's planned murder.

|}

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a Tengu, a long-nosed demon that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and as that bird represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. According to the Old Testament, [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]] was the most wise King of Israel, but in his old age, many years after the [[Wikipedia: Queen of Sheba|Queen of Sheba]]'s visit, became corrupt due his many foreign wives, so received divine punishment and a glorious kingdom falled after his death. There is a possible parallel, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* According to Kogoro, his house looks more like Dracula's Castle than Sunset Manor, and up close even more like a haunted house. Because he sure is a terrible character, there's no doubt he is a cruel vampire, also known as a murderer, and the Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
* In addition to the author, until we finally reached his identity, only [[Minami Takayama]], his former wife and Conan's voice actor, and the anime production knew who was the boss.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as Shinichi/Conan's arch-enemy is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious boss behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called as '''{{nihongo|Ano kata|あの方|lit. "That Person"}}''' by his subordinates, and the primary antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:EP219-Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|right|Sunset Manor]]
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful and political people contacts. He is the very best richer than [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] and [[Ooka family]].<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> He is said to have died elderly between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under mysterious circumstances.<ref>Senma's father was working for Karasuma around forty years ago, back in the days before they invented copiers. However, when Senma discovered the secret message in her father's letter twenty years ago, Karasuma was already dead.</ref> During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited [[Sunset Manor]] from her and over time filled his vacation home with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up crow. Below are several examples about that logo:

|}</spoiler>

He found a clue about the King, Queen, and Knight leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had declined, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku<ref>All his subordinates' anime version cars have indeed Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate.</ref> that pay well as sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them<ref>Manga Volume 95, File 8; anime episode TBD.</ref>, so directs activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "The [[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261<ref>In episode 398, the number is wrong #696#6261.</ref>, purposefully made non-functional by [[Gosho Aoyama]] to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] warns Conan of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. He is responsible for promoting agents<ref name=v53f10>Manga Volume 53, File 10; anime episode 464.</ref> and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] think that only a few of the highest ranking executive agents like [[Gin]] or [[Vermouth]] could lead them to the elusive boss.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to the Black Organization for many years for a single mistake. Vermouth says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8; anime episode 581.</ref> Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization despite many agents disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. He is known to give permission to agents who wish to pursue certain secret missions, such as [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and Vermouth's plan to make sure [[Shuichi Akai]] was truly dead.

He is especially close to Vermouth, who is described as his favorite, much to the chagrin of her enemies and those who mistrust her. He is also close to Gin, who often acts as an intermediary between he and other agents. Gin usually takes the lead planning role in assassinations that he has ordered. While most agents follow his orders, some agents have acted contrary to his wishes. As Conan before, he notices the photo of [[Pisco]] pointing his gun at the ceiling. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

The FBI believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought Akai could become a "[[Silver Bullet]]", someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. In that regard, he's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

== Appearance ==
[[File:M13-Crow.jpg|thumb|right|A crow in question.]]
Renya Karasuma has only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest and sometimes is used to introduced the Black Organization enshrouded in mystery or even other unrelated cases. The operatives dress in black, which [[Akemi Miyano]] says is supposed to resemble crows, so he is a crow-like man and Sunset Manor was his personified nest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
One stormy night, the six world greatest detectives [[Kogoro Mouri]] (along with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan, since [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] canceled), [[Saguru Hakuba]] (and his pet hawk Watson), Furuyo Senma, Shukuzen Ogami, Harufumi Mogi, and Ikumi Soda were invited by [[Kaitou Kid]] to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, an Inaka Village<ref>{{nihongo|Inaka Village|稲香村|Inakamura}} is a common name to many little unnamed villages across the countryside of Japan, who just have a few houses, rice fields and without any large cities near it.</ref> at 2 km from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]<ref>Anime original information, according to the villa junction and not Tokyo as Saguru Hakuba said.</ref> and six miles from a lonely gas station. While they were having their so-called "last supper", the host<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for his crime organization.</ref> told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who forty years ago had died at age 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention. Hakuba had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were lies about an out-of-control auction from the powerful business world caused by two art robbers with marijuana cigarettes smoke.
[[File:Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|left|The entire Golden Manor.]]
At the end of the case, it is revealed that two years ago, after Senma accidentally let the story slip to him, Ogami immediately tracked down the house and started to look for the treasure, but he couldn't solve the riddle. He had put himself into massive debt to buy the house and was in serious trouble, so he came up with the plan to assemble a team of great detectives, but he was poisoned with potassium cyanide by his partner Senma before did just like Karasuma forty years ago. Along with Kogoro, Hakuba, Mogi, and Soda, Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer comes off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Soda notes that it must be worth 100 billion yen, and that only Karasuma could do something on such a scale. Sunset being when the sky shines gold, it is literally a "Golden Manor".

Disguised as Kogoro from the start, Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Ogami, who wanted to kill the young maid Aki Ishihara and all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found, and Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her while she was still alive, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind Gin, [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], as also his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk Shinichi's and her body, Haibara visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, as also the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|Special Manga]]
=== The Last Wizard of the Century (Movie: [[The Last Wizard of the Century|3]]) ===
While Conan chases down leads on their organization, he's constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction sequence, one night running on ancient Greek ruins, he is suddenly stuck behind by a huge red demon with evil aura, of course the boss as the heart of the Black Organization, who moves among numerous yellow pieces, that represent all minor cases.

=== Time Travel of the Silver Sky (TV Special: [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky|1]]) ===
A software created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] can give the identity of anyone in the world and tries to find out the boss' identity between [[Tomoaki Araide]], Sharon Vineyard, Chiyoko Yuasa, Yusaku Kudo, four Shinichi's classmates, and a circus white lion, but eventually failed because of his untouchable forbidden area.

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth (episode 385).]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but being only the general oversight division secretary, Gin takes full responsibility.<ref>Episode 345 and movie 13.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth (episode 398).]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 5; anime episode 783.</ref> However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an off-season Halloween party aboard a ship, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. At the party, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone informing her that her freedom was now being restricted and she was to return: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth."

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth.<ref>Manga Volume 48, File 10; anime episode 425.</ref> For avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 1; anime episode 425.</ref> She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.<ref name=v53f10/>

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel|an FBI agent]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. [[Akai faked his death theory|Akai and Kir conspired to fake Akai's death]].

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9; anime episode 129.</ref> Before she could be even executed, Shiho manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 7; anime episode 129.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11; anime episode 178.</ref> Conan figures out his full number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him not to call it. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] has served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. After Pisco was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
He sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda write to his e-mail address every day.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to disguise himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]], infiltrate into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the greatest enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. When he met Gin and Vodka on a bullet train to Kyoto, Conan hoped that they could be meeting their mastermind in the dining car, but the resolution revealed that it wasn't his primary target.<ref>The [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with two lookalike criminals unrelated to the Black Organization, and the line about their mastermind was omitted.</ref> Gin's discussion with Pisco about the planned murder of Nomiguchi revealed to Conan his existence. Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. Asking confirm to [[Kyosuke Haga]] about that old song, Conan later uncovers his phone number, but Haibara warns him of the danger of calling it. From now on, until this comes to a close, Shinichi is in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by [[Andre Camel]]. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most.

==== Kyosuke Senma ====
[[File:EP219-Kyosuke Senma.jpg|thumb|right|Kyosuke Senma reminded by his old daughter.]]
Kyosuke Senma was an archeologist who Karasuma invited to his manor house forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. He had made copies of the riddle on a cheap mimeograph print on straw paper to hand out, and left one stuck between the piano keys. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. Become a famous detective, Furuyo only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Renya had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle: "I've finally gotten hold of the trump card that will decipher Karasuma's riddle, Kyosuke Senma." The key to the riddle was "Trump card" and he was referring to the respective playing card ranks. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref name=black/> and was taken into custody for Ogami's murder.

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a Tengu, a long-nosed demon that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and as that bird represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. According to the Old Testament, [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]] was the most wise King of Israel, but in his old age, many years after the [[Wikipedia: Queen of Sheba|Queen of Sheba]]'s visit, became corrupt due his many foreign wives, so received divine punishment and a glorious kingdom falled after his death. There is a possible parallel, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* According to Kogoro, his house looks more like Dracula's Castle than Sunset Manor, and up close even more like a haunted house. Because he sure is a terrible character, there's no doubt he is a cruel vampire, also known as a murderer, and the Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
* In addition to the author, until we finally reached his identity, only [[Minami Takayama]], his former wife and Conan's voice actor, and the anime production knew who was the boss.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as Shinichi/Conan's arch-enemy is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious boss behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called as '''{{nihongo|Ano kata|あの方|lit. "That Person"}}''' by his subordinates, and the primary antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:EP219-Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|right|Sunset Manor]]
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful and political people contacts. He is the very best richer than [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] and [[Ooka family]].<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> He is said to have died elderly between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under mysterious circumstances.<ref>Senma's father was working for Karasuma around forty years ago, back in the days before they invented copiers. However, when Senma discovered the secret message in her father's letter twenty years ago, Karasuma was already dead.</ref> During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited [[Sunset Manor]] from her and over time filled his vacation home with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up crow. Below are several examples about that logo:

|}</spoiler>

He found a clue about the King, Queen, and Knight leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had declined, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku<ref>All his subordinates' anime version cars have indeed Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate.</ref> that pay well as sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them<ref>Manga Volume 95, File 8; anime episode TBD.</ref>, so directs activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "The [[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261<ref>In episode 398, the number is wrong #696#6261.</ref>, purposefully made non-functional by [[Gosho Aoyama]] to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] warns Conan of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. He is responsible for promoting agents<ref name=v53f10>Manga Volume 53, File 10; anime episode 464.</ref> and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] think that only a few of the highest ranking executive agents like [[Gin]] or [[Vermouth]] could lead them to the elusive boss.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to the Black Organization for many years for a single mistake. Vermouth says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8; anime episode 581.</ref> Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization despite many agents disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. He is known to give permission to agents who wish to pursue certain secret missions, such as [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and Vermouth's plan to make sure [[Shuichi Akai]] was truly dead.

He is especially close to Vermouth, who is described as his favorite, much to the chagrin of her enemies and those who mistrust her. He is also close to Gin, who often acts as an intermediary between he and other agents. Gin usually takes the lead planning role in assassinations that he has ordered. While most agents follow his orders, some agents have acted contrary to his wishes. As Conan before, he notices the photo of [[Pisco]] pointing his gun at the ceiling. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

The FBI believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought Akai could become a "[[Silver Bullet]]", someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. In that regard, he's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

== Appearance ==
[[File:M13-Crow.jpg|thumb|right|A crow in question.]]
Renya Karasuma has only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest and sometimes is used to introduced the Black Organization enshrouded in mystery or even other unrelated cases. The operatives dress in black, which [[Akemi Miyano]] says is supposed to resemble crows, so he is a crow-like man and Sunset Manor was his personified nest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
One stormy night, the six world greatest detectives [[Kogoro Mouri]] (along with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan, since [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] canceled), [[Saguru Hakuba]] (and his pet hawk Watson), Furuyo Senma, Shukuzen Ogami, Harufumi Mogi, and Ikumi Soda were invited by [[Kaitou Kid]] to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, an Inaka Village<ref>{{nihongo|Inaka Village|稲香村|Inakamura}} is a common name to many little unnamed villages across the countryside of Japan, who just have a few houses, rice fields and without any large cities near it.</ref> at 2 km from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]<ref>Anime original information, according to the villa junction and not Tokyo as Saguru Hakuba said.</ref> and six miles from a lonely gas station. While they were having their so-called "last supper", the host<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for his crime organization.</ref> told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who forty years ago had died at age 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention. Hakuba had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were lies about an out-of-control auction from the powerful business world caused by two art robbers with marijuana cigarettes smoke.
[[File:Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|left|The entire Golden Manor.]]
At the end of the case, it is revealed that two years ago, after Senma accidentally let the story slip to him, Ogami immediately tracked down the house and started to look for the treasure, but he couldn't solve the riddle. He had put himself into massive debt to buy the house and was in serious trouble, so he came up with the plan to assemble a team of great detectives, but he was poisoned with potassium cyanide by his partner Senma before did just like Karasuma forty years ago. Along with Kogoro, Hakuba, Mogi, and Soda, Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer comes off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Soda notes that it must be worth 100 billion yen, and that only Karasuma could do something on such a scale. Sunset being when the sky shines gold, it is literally a "Golden Manor".

Disguised as Kogoro from the start, Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Ogami, who wanted to kill the young maid Aki Ishihara and all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found, and Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her while she was still alive, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind Gin, [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], as also his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk Shinichi's and her body, Haibara visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, as also the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|Special Manga]]
=== The Last Wizard of the Century (Movie: [[The Last Wizard of the Century|3]]) ===
While Conan chases down leads on their organization, he's constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction sequence, one night running on ancient Greek ruins, he is suddenly stuck behind by a huge red demon with evil aura, of course the boss as the heart of the Black Organization, who moves among numerous yellow pieces, that represent all minor cases.

=== Time Travel of the Silver Sky (TV Special: [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky|1]]) ===
A software created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] can give the identity of anyone in the world and tries to find out the boss' identity between [[Tomoaki Araide]], Sharon Vineyard, Chiyoko Yuasa, Yusaku Kudo, four Shinichi's classmates, and a circus white lion, but eventually failed because of his untouchable forbidden area.

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth (episode 385).]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but being only the general oversight division secretary, Gin takes full responsibility.<ref>Episode 345 and movie 13.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth (episode 398).]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 5; anime episode 783.</ref> However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an off-season Halloween party aboard a ship, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. At the party, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone informing her that her freedom was now being restricted and she was to return: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth."

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth.<ref>Manga Volume 48, File 10; anime episode 425.</ref> For avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 1; anime episode 425.</ref> She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.<ref name=v53f10/>

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel|an FBI agent]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. [[Akai faked his death theory|Akai and Kir conspired to fake Akai's death]].

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9; anime episode 129.</ref> Before she could be even executed, Shiho manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 7; anime episode 129.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11; anime episode 178.</ref> Conan figures out his full number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him not to call it. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] has served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. After Pisco was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
He sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda write to his e-mail address every day.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to disguise himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]], infiltrate into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the greatest enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. When he met Gin and Vodka on a bullet train to Kyoto, Conan hoped that they could be meeting their mastermind in the dining car, but the resolution revealed that it wasn't his primary target.<ref>The [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with two lookalike criminals unrelated to the Black Organization, and the line about their mastermind was omitted.</ref> Gin's discussion with Pisco about the planned murder of Nomiguchi revealed to Conan his existence. Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. Asking confirm to [[Kyosuke Haga]] about that old song, Conan later uncovers his phone number, but Haibara warns him of the danger of calling it. From now on, until this comes to a close, Shinichi is in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by [[Andre Camel]]. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most.

==== Kyosuke Senma ====
[[File:EP219-Kyosuke Senma.jpg|thumb|right|Kyosuke Senma reminded by his old daughter.]]
Kyosuke Senma was an archeologist who Karasuma invited to his manor house forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. He had made copies of the riddle on a cheap mimeograph print on straw paper to hand out, and left one stuck between the piano keys. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. Become a famous detective, Furuyo only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Renya had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle: "I've finally gotten hold of the trump card that will decipher Karasuma's riddle, Kyosuke Senma." The key to the riddle was "Trump card" and he was referring to the respective playing card ranks. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref name=black/> and she was taken into custody for Ogami's murder.

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a Tengu, a long-nosed demon that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and as that bird represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. According to the Old Testament, [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]] was the most wise King of Israel, but in his old age, many years after the [[Wikipedia: Queen of Sheba|Queen of Sheba]]'s visit, became corrupt due his many foreign wives, so received divine punishment and a glorious kingdom falled after his death. There is a possible parallel, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* According to Kogoro, his house looks more like Dracula's Castle than Sunset Manor, and up close even more like a haunted house. Because he sure is a terrible character, there's no doubt he is a cruel vampire, also known as a murderer, and the Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
* In addition to the author, until we finally reached his identity, only [[Minami Takayama]], his former wife and Conan's voice actor, and the anime production knew who was the boss.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as Shinichi/Conan's arch-enemy is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious boss behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called as '''{{nihongo|Ano kata|あの方|lit. "That Person"}}''' by his subordinates, and the primary antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:EP219-Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|right|Sunset Manor]]
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful and political people contacts. He is the very best richer than [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] and [[Ooka family]].<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> He is said to have died elderly between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under mysterious circumstances.<ref>Senma's father was working for Karasuma around forty years ago, back in the days before they invented copiers. However, when Senma discovered the secret message in her father's letter twenty years ago, Karasuma was already dead.</ref> During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited [[Sunset Manor]] from her and over time filled his vacation home with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up crow. Below are several examples about that logo:
<spoiler>

|}</spoiler>

He found a clue about the King, Queen, and Knight leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had declined, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku<ref>All his subordinates' anime version cars have indeed Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate.</ref> that pay well as sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them<ref>Manga Volume 95, File 8; anime episode TBD.</ref>, so directs activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "The [[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261<ref>In episode 398, the number is wrong #696#6261.</ref>, purposefully made non-functional by [[Gosho Aoyama]] to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] warns Conan of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. He is responsible for promoting agents<ref name=v53f10>Manga Volume 53, File 10; anime episode 464.</ref> and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] think that only a few of the highest ranking executive agents like [[Gin]] or [[Vermouth]] could lead them to the elusive boss.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to the Black Organization for many years for a single mistake. Vermouth says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8; anime episode 581.</ref> Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization despite many agents disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. He is known to give permission to agents who wish to pursue certain secret missions, such as [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and Vermouth's plan to make sure [[Shuichi Akai]] was truly dead.

He is especially close to Vermouth, who is described as his favorite, much to the chagrin of her enemies and those who mistrust her. He is also close to Gin, who often acts as an intermediary between he and other agents. Gin usually takes the lead planning role in assassinations that he has ordered. While most agents follow his orders, some agents have acted contrary to his wishes. As Conan before, he notices the photo of [[Pisco]] pointing his gun at the ceiling. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

The FBI believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought Akai could become a "[[Silver Bullet]]", someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. In that regard, he's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

== Appearance ==
[[File:M13-Crow.jpg|thumb|right|A crow in question.]]
Renya Karasuma has only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest and sometimes is used to introduced the Black Organization enshrouded in mystery or even other unrelated cases. The operatives dress in black, which [[Akemi Miyano]] says is supposed to resemble crows, so he is a crow-like man and Sunset Manor was his personified nest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
One stormy night, the six world greatest detectives [[Kogoro Mouri]] (along with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan, since [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] canceled), [[Saguru Hakuba]] (and his pet hawk Watson), Furuyo Senma, Shukuzen Ogami, Harufumi Mogi, and Ikumi Soda were invited by [[Kaitou Kid]] to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, an Inaka Village<ref>{{nihongo|Inaka Village|稲香村|Inakamura}} is a common name to many little unnamed villages across the countryside of Japan, who just have a few houses, rice fields and without any large cities near it.</ref> at 2 km from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]<ref>Anime original information, according to the villa junction and not Tokyo as Saguru Hakuba said.</ref> and six miles from a lonely gas station. While they were having their so-called "last supper", the host<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for his crime organization.</ref> told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who forty years ago had died at age 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention. Hakuba had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were lies about an out-of-control auction from the powerful business world caused by two art robbers with marijuana cigarettes smoke.
[[File:Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|left|The entire Golden Manor.]]
At the end of the case, it is revealed that two years ago, after Senma accidentally let the story slip to him, Ogami immediately tracked down the house and started to look for the treasure, but he couldn't solve the riddle. He had put himself into massive debt to buy the house and was in serious trouble, so he came up with the plan to assemble a team of great detectives, but he was poisoned with potassium cyanide by his partner Senma before did just like Karasuma forty years ago. Along with Kogoro, Hakuba, Mogi, and Soda, Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer comes off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Soda notes that it must be worth 100 billion yen, and that only Karasuma could do something on such a scale. Sunset being when the sky shines gold, it is literally a "Golden Manor".

Disguised as Kogoro from the start, Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Ogami, who wanted to kill the young maid Aki Ishihara and all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found, and Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her while she was still alive, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind Gin, [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], as also his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk Shinichi's and her body, Haibara visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, as also the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|Special Manga]]
=== The Last Wizard of the Century (Movie: [[The Last Wizard of the Century|3]]) ===
While Conan chases down leads on their organization, he's constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction sequence, one night running on ancient Greek ruins, he is suddenly stuck behind by a huge red demon with evil aura, of course the boss as the heart of the Black Organization, who moves among numerous yellow pieces, that represent all minor cases.

=== Time Travel of the Silver Sky (TV Special: [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky|1]]) ===
A software created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] can give the identity of anyone in the world and tries to find out the boss' identity between [[Tomoaki Araide]], Sharon Vineyard, Chiyoko Yuasa, Yusaku Kudo, four Shinichi's classmates, and a circus white lion, but eventually failed because of his untouchable forbidden area.

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth (episode 385).]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but being only the general oversight division secretary, Gin takes full responsibility.<ref>Episode 345 and movie 13.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth (episode 398).]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 5; anime episode 783.</ref> However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an off-season Halloween party aboard a ship, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. At the party, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone informing her that her freedom was now being restricted and she was to return: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth."

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth.<ref>Manga Volume 48, File 10; anime episode 425.</ref> For avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 1; anime episode 425.</ref> She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.<ref name=v53f10/>

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel|an FBI agent]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. [[Akai faked his death theory|Akai and Kir conspired to fake Akai's death]].

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9; anime episode 129.</ref> Before she could be even executed, Shiho manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 7; anime episode 129.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11; anime episode 178.</ref> Conan figures out his full number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him not to call it. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] has served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. After Pisco was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
He sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda write to his e-mail address every day.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to disguise himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]], infiltrate into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the greatest enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. When he met Gin and Vodka on a bullet train to Kyoto, Conan hoped that they could be meeting their mastermind in the dining car, but the resolution revealed that it wasn't his primary target.<ref>The [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with two lookalike criminals unrelated to the Black Organization, and the line about their mastermind was omitted.</ref> Gin's discussion with Pisco about the planned murder of Nomiguchi revealed to Conan his existence. Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. Asking confirm to [[Kyosuke Haga]] about that old song, Conan later uncovers his phone number, but Haibara warns him of the danger of calling it. From now on, until this comes to a close, Shinichi is in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by [[Andre Camel]]. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most.

==== Kyosuke Senma ====
[[File:EP219-Kyosuke Senma.jpg|thumb|right|Kyosuke Senma reminded by his old daughter.]]
Kyosuke Senma was an archeologist who Karasuma invited to his manor house forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. He had made copies of the riddle on a cheap mimeograph print on straw paper to hand out, and left one stuck between the piano keys. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. Become a famous detective, Furuyo only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Renya had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle: "I've finally gotten hold of the trump card that will decipher Karasuma's riddle, Kyosuke Senma." The key to the riddle was "Trump card" and he was referring to the respective playing card ranks. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref name=black/> and was taken into custody for Ogami's murder.

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a Tengu, a long-nosed demon that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and as that bird represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. According to the Old Testament, [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]] was the most wise King of Israel, but in his old age, many years after the [[Wikipedia: Queen of Sheba|Queen of Sheba]]'s visit, became corrupt due his many foreign wives, so received divine punishment and a glorious kingdom falled after his death. There is a possible parallel, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* According to Kogoro, his house looks more like Dracula's Castle than Sunset Manor, and up close even more like a haunted house. Because he sure is a terrible character, there's no doubt he is a cruel vampire, also known as a murderer, and the Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
* In addition to the author, until we finally reached his identity, only [[Minami Takayama]], his former wife and Conan's voice actor, and the anime production knew who was the boss.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as Shinichi/Conan's arch-enemy is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious boss behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called as '''{{nihongo|Ano kata|あの方|lit. "That Person"}}''' by his subordinates, and the primary antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:EP219-Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|right|Sunset Manor]]
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful and political people contacts. He is the very best richer than [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] and [[Ooka family]].<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> He is said to have died elderly between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under mysterious circumstances.<ref>Senma's father was working for Karasuma around forty years ago, back in the days before they invented copiers. However, when Senma discovered the secret message in her father's letter twenty years ago, Karasuma was already dead.</ref> During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited [[Sunset Manor]] from her and over time filled his vacation home with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up crow. Below are several examples about that logo:

|}</spoiler>

He found a clue about the King, Queen, and Knight leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had declined, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku<ref>All his subordinates' anime version cars have indeed Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate.</ref> that pay well as sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them<ref>Manga Volume 95, File 8; anime episode TBD.</ref>, so directs activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "The [[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261<ref>In episode 398, the number is wrong #696#6261.</ref>, purposefully made non-functional by [[Gosho Aoyama]] to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] warns Conan of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. He is responsible for promoting agents<ref name=v53f10>Manga Volume 53, File 10; anime episode 464.</ref> and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] think that only a few of the highest ranking executive agents like [[Gin]] or [[Vermouth]] could lead them to the elusive boss.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to the Black Organization for many years for a single mistake. Vermouth says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8; anime episode 581.</ref> Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization despite many agents disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. He is known to give permission to agents who wish to pursue certain secret missions, such as [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and Vermouth's plan to make sure [[Shuichi Akai]] was truly dead.

He is especially close to Vermouth, who is described as his favorite, much to the chagrin of her enemies and those who mistrust her. He is also close to Gin, who often acts as an intermediary between he and other agents. Gin usually takes the lead planning role in assassinations that he has ordered. While most agents follow his orders, some agents have acted contrary to his wishes. As Conan before, he notices the photo of [[Pisco]] pointing his gun at the ceiling. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

The FBI believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought Akai could become a "[[Silver Bullet]]", someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. In that regard, he's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

== Appearance ==
[[File:M13-Crow.jpg|thumb|right|A crow in question.]]
Renya Karasuma has only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest and sometimes is used to introduced the Black Organization enshrouded in mystery or even other unrelated cases. The operatives dress in black, which [[Akemi Miyano]] says is supposed to resemble crows, so he is a crow-like man and Sunset Manor was his personified nest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
One stormy night, the six world greatest detectives [[Kogoro Mouri]] (along with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan, since [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] canceled), [[Saguru Hakuba]] (and his pet hawk Watson), Furuyo Senma, Shukuzen Ogami, Harufumi Mogi, and Ikumi Soda were invited by [[Kaitou Kid]] to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, an Inaka Village<ref>{{nihongo|Inaka Village|稲香村|Inakamura}} is a common name to many little unnamed villages across the countryside of Japan, who just have a few houses, rice fields and without any large cities near it.</ref> at 2 km from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]<ref>Anime original information, according to the villa junction and not Tokyo as Saguru Hakuba said.</ref> and six miles from a lonely gas station. While they were having their so-called "last supper", the host<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for his crime organization.</ref> told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who forty years ago had died at age 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention. Hakuba had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were lies about an out-of-control auction from the powerful business world caused by two art robbers with marijuana cigarettes smoke.
[[File:Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|left|The entire Golden Manor.]]
At the end of the case, it is revealed that two years ago, after Senma accidentally let the story slip to him, Ogami immediately tracked down the house and started to look for the treasure, but he couldn't solve the riddle. He had put himself into massive debt to buy the house and was in serious trouble, so he came up with the plan to assemble a team of great detectives, but he was poisoned with potassium cyanide by his partner Senma before did just like Karasuma forty years ago. Along with Kogoro, Hakuba, Mogi, and Soda, Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer comes off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Soda notes that it must be worth 100 billion yen, and that only Karasuma could do something on such a scale. Sunset being when the sky shines gold, it is literally a "Golden Manor".

Disguised as Kogoro from the start, Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Ogami, who wanted to kill the young maid Aki Ishihara and all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found, and Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her while she was still alive, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind Gin, [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], as also his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk Shinichi's and her body, Haibara visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, as also the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|Special Manga]]
=== The Last Wizard of the Century (Movie: [[The Last Wizard of the Century|3]]) ===
While Conan chases down leads on their organization, he's constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction sequence, one night running on ancient Greek ruins, he is suddenly stuck behind by a huge red demon with evil aura, of course the boss as the heart of the Black Organization, who moves among numerous yellow pieces, that represent all minor cases.

=== Time Travel of the Silver Sky (TV Special: [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky|1]]) ===
A software created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] can give the identity of anyone in the world and tries to find out the boss' identity between [[Tomoaki Araide]], Sharon Vineyard, Chiyoko Yuasa, Yusaku Kudo, four Shinichi's classmates, and a circus white lion, but eventually failed because of his untouchable forbidden area.

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth (episode 385).]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but being only the general oversight division secretary, Gin takes full responsibility.<ref>Episode 345 and movie 13.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth (episode 398).]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 5; anime episode 783.</ref> However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an off-season Halloween party aboard a ship, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. At the party, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone informing her that her freedom was now being restricted and she was to return: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth."

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth.<ref>Manga Volume 48, File 10; anime episode 425.</ref> For avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 1; anime episode 425.</ref> She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.<ref name=v53f10/>

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel|an FBI agent]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. [[Akai faked his death theory|Akai and Kir conspired to fake Akai's death]].

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9; anime episode 129.</ref> Before she could be even executed, Shiho manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 7; anime episode 129.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11; anime episode 178.</ref> Conan figures out his full number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him not to call it. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] has served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. After Pisco was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
He sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda write to his e-mail address every day.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to disguise himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]], infiltrate into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the greatest enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. When he met Gin and Vodka on a bullet train to Kyoto, Conan hoped that they could be meeting their mastermind in the dining car, but the resolution revealed that it wasn't his primary target.<ref>The [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with two lookalike criminals unrelated to the Black Organization, and the line about their mastermind was omitted.</ref> Gin's discussion with Pisco about the planned murder of Nomiguchi revealed to Conan his existence. Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. Asking confirm to [[Kyosuke Haga]] about that old song, Conan later uncovers his phone number, but Haibara warns him of the danger of calling it. From now on, until this comes to a close, Shinichi is in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by [[Andre Camel]]. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most.

==== Kyosuke Senma ====
[[File:EP219-Kyosuke Senma.jpg|thumb|right|Kyosuke Senma reminded by his old daughter.]]
Kyosuke Senma was an archeologist who Karasuma invited to his manor house forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. He had made copies of the riddle on a cheap mimeograph print on straw paper to hand out, and left one stuck between the piano keys. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. Become a famous detective, Furuyo only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Renya had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle: "I've finally gotten hold of the trump card that will decipher Karasuma's riddle, Kyosuke Senma." The key to the riddle was "Trump card" and he was referring to the respective playing card ranks of King of Diamonds, Queen of Hearts, and Jack of Spades. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref name=black/> and was taken into custody for Ogami's murder.

|}

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a Tengu, a long-nosed demon that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and as that bird represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. According to the Old Testament, [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]] was the most wise King of Israel, but in his old age, many years after the [[Wikipedia: Queen of Sheba|Queen of Sheba]]'s visit, became corrupt due his many foreign wives, so received divine punishment and a glorious kingdom falled after his death. There is a possible parallel, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* According to Kogoro, his house looks more like Dracula's Castle than Sunset Manor, and up close even more like a haunted house. Because he sure is a terrible character, there's no doubt he is a cruel vampire, also known as a murderer, and the Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
* In addition to the author, until we finally reached his identity, only [[Minami Takayama]], his former wife and Conan's voice actor, and the anime production knew who was the boss.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as Shinichi/Conan's arch-enemy is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious boss behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called as '''{{nihongo|Ano kata|あの方|lit. "That Person"}}''' by his subordinates, and the primary antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:EP219-Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|right|Sunset Manor]]
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful and political people contacts. He is the very best richer than [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] and [[Ooka family]].<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> He is said to have died elderly between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under mysterious circumstances.<ref>Senma's father was working for Karasuma around forty years ago, back in the days before they invented copiers. However, when Senma discovered the secret message in her father's letter twenty years ago, Karasuma was already dead.</ref> During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited [[Sunset Manor]] from her and over time filled his vacation home with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up crow. Below are several examples about that logo:
<spoiler>

|}</spoiler>

He found a clue about the King, Queen, and Knight leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had declined, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku<ref>All his subordinates' anime version cars have indeed Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate.</ref> that pay well as sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them<ref>Manga Volume 95, File 8; anime episode TBD.</ref>, so directs activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "The [[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261<ref>In episode 398, the number is wrong #696#6261.</ref>, purposefully made non-functional by [[Gosho Aoyama]] to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] warns Conan of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. He is responsible for promoting agents<ref name=v53f10>Manga Volume 53, File 10; anime episode 464.</ref> and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] think that only a few of the highest ranking executive agents like [[Gin]] or [[Vermouth]] could lead them to the elusive boss.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to the Black Organization for many years for a single mistake. Vermouth says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8; anime episode 581.</ref> Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization despite many agents disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. He is known to give permission to agents who wish to pursue certain secret missions, such as [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and Vermouth's plan to make sure [[Shuichi Akai]] was truly dead.

He is especially close to Vermouth, who is described as his favorite, much to the chagrin of her enemies and those who mistrust her. He is also close to Gin, who often acts as an intermediary between he and other agents. Gin usually takes the lead planning role in assassinations that he has ordered. While most agents follow his orders, some agents have acted contrary to his wishes. As Conan before, he notices the photo of [[Pisco]] pointing his gun at the ceiling. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

The FBI believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought Akai could become a "[[Silver Bullet]]", someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. In that regard, he's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

== Appearance ==
[[File:M13-Crow.jpg|thumb|right|A crow in question.]]
Renya Karasuma has only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest and sometimes is used to introduced the Black Organization enshrouded in mystery or even other unrelated cases. The operatives dress in black, which [[Akemi Miyano]] says is supposed to resemble crows, so he is a crow-like man and Sunset Manor was his personified nest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
One stormy night, the six world greatest detectives [[Kogoro Mouri]] (along with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan, since [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] canceled), [[Saguru Hakuba]] (and his pet hawk Watson), Furuyo Senma, Shukuzen Ogami, Harufumi Mogi, and Ikumi Soda were invited by [[Kaitou Kid]] to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, an Inaka Village<ref>{{nihongo|Inaka Village|稲香村|Inakamura}} is a common name to many little unnamed villages across the countryside of Japan, who just have a few houses, rice fields and without any large cities near it.</ref> at 2 km from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]<ref>Anime original information, according to the villa junction and not Tokyo as Saguru Hakuba said.</ref> and six miles from a lonely gas station. While they were having their so-called "last supper", the host<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for his crime organization.</ref> told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who forty years ago had died at age 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention. Hakuba had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were lies about an out-of-control auction from the powerful business world caused by two art robbers with marijuana cigarettes smoke.
[[File:Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|left|The entire Golden Manor.]]
At the end of the case, it is revealed that two years ago, after Senma accidentally let the story slip to him, Ogami immediately tracked down the house and started to look for the treasure, but he couldn't solve the riddle. He had put himself into massive debt to buy the house and was in serious trouble, so he came up with the plan to assemble a team of great detectives, but he was poisoned with potassium cyanide by his partner Senma before did just like Karasuma forty years ago. Along with Kogoro, Hakuba, Mogi, and Soda, Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer comes off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Soda notes that it must be worth 100 billion yen, and that only Karasuma could do something on such a scale. Sunset being when the sky shines gold, it is literally a "Golden Manor".

Disguised as Kogoro from the start, Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Ogami, who wanted to kill the young maid Aki Ishihara and all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found, and Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her while she was still alive, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind Gin, [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], as also his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk Shinichi's and her body, Haibara visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, as also the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|Special Manga]]
=== The Last Wizard of the Century (Movie: [[The Last Wizard of the Century|3]]) ===
While Conan chases down leads on their organization, he's constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction sequence, one night running on ancient Greek ruins, he is suddenly stuck behind by a huge red demon with evil aura, of course the boss as the heart of the Black Organization, who moves among numerous yellow pieces, that represent all minor cases.

=== Time Travel of the Silver Sky (TV Special: [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky|1]]) ===
A software created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] can give the identity of anyone in the world and tries to find out the boss' identity between [[Tomoaki Araide]], Sharon Vineyard, Chiyoko Yuasa, Yusaku Kudo, four Shinichi's classmates, and a circus white lion, but eventually failed because of his untouchable forbidden area.

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth (episode 385).]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but being only the general oversight division secretary, Gin takes full responsibility.<ref>Episode 345 and movie 13.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth (episode 398).]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 5; anime episode 783.</ref> However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an off-season Halloween party aboard a ship, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. At the party, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone informing her that her freedom was now being restricted and she was to return: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth."

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth.<ref>Manga Volume 48, File 10; anime episode 425.</ref> For avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 1; anime episode 425.</ref> She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.<ref name=v53f10/>

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel|an FBI agent]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. [[Akai faked his death theory|Akai and Kir conspired to fake Akai's death]].

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9; anime episode 129.</ref> Before she could be even executed, Shiho manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 7; anime episode 129.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11; anime episode 178.</ref> Conan figures out his full number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him not to call it. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] has served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. After Pisco was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
He sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda write to his e-mail address every day.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to disguise himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]], infiltrate into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the greatest enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. When he met Gin and Vodka on a bullet train to Kyoto, Conan hoped that they could be meeting their mastermind in the dining car, but the resolution revealed that it wasn't his primary target.<ref>The [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with two lookalike criminals unrelated to the Black Organization, and the line about their mastermind was omitted.</ref> Gin's discussion with Pisco about the planned murder of Nomiguchi revealed to Conan his existence. Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. Asking confirm to [[Kyosuke Haga]] about that old song, Conan later uncovers his phone number, but Haibara warns him of the danger of calling it. From now on, until this comes to a close, Shinichi is in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by [[Andre Camel]]. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most.

==== Kyosuke Senma ====
[[File:EP219-Kyosuke Senma.jpg|thumb|right|Kyosuke Senma reminded by his old daughter.]]
Kyosuke Senma was an archeologist who Karasuma invited to his manor house forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. He had made copies of the riddle on a cheap mimeograph print on straw paper to hand out, and left one stuck between the piano keys. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. Become a famous detective, Furuyo only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Renya had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle: "I've finally gotten hold of the trump card that will decipher Karasuma's riddle, Kyosuke Senma." The key to the riddle was "Trump card" and he was referring to the respective playing card ranks of King, Queen, and Jack. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref name=black/> and was taken into custody for Ogami's murder.

|}

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a Tengu, a long-nosed demon that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and as that bird represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. According to the Old Testament, [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]] was the most wise King of Israel, but in his old age, many years after the [[Wikipedia: Queen of Sheba|Queen of Sheba]]'s visit, became corrupt due his many foreign wives, so received divine punishment and a glorious kingdom falled after his death. There is a possible parallel, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* According to Kogoro, his house looks more like Dracula's Castle than Sunset Manor, and up close even more like a haunted house. Because he sure is a terrible character, there's no doubt he is a cruel vampire, also known as a murderer, and the Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
* In addition to the author, until we finally reached his identity, only [[Minami Takayama]], his former wife and Conan's voice actor, and the anime production knew who was the boss.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as Shinichi/Conan's arch-enemy is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious boss behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called as '''{{nihongo|Ano kata|あの方|lit. "That Person"}}''' by his subordinates, and the primary antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:EP219-Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|right|Sunset Manor]]
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful and political people contacts. He is the very best richer than [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] and [[Ooka family]].<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> He is said to have died elderly between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under mysterious circumstances.<ref>Senma's father was working for Karasuma around forty years ago, back in the days before they invented copiers. However, when Senma discovered the secret message in her father's letter twenty years ago, Karasuma was already dead.</ref> During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited [[Sunset Manor]] from her and over time filled his vacation home with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up crow. Below are several examples about that logo:
<spoiler>

|}</spoiler>

He found a clue about the King, Queen, and Knight leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had declined, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku<ref>All his subordinates' anime version cars have indeed Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate.</ref> that pay well as sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them<ref>Manga Volume 95, File 8; anime episode TBD.</ref>, so directs activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "The [[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261<ref>In episode 398, the number is wrong #696#6261.</ref>, purposefully made non-functional by [[Gosho Aoyama]] to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] warns Conan of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. He is responsible for promoting agents<ref name=v53f10>Manga Volume 53, File 10; anime episode 464.</ref> and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] think that only a few of the highest ranking executive agents like [[Gin]] or [[Vermouth]] could lead them to the elusive boss.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to the Black Organization for many years for a single mistake. Vermouth says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8; anime episode 581.</ref> Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization despite many agents disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. He is known to give permission to agents who wish to pursue certain secret missions, such as [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and Vermouth's plan to make sure [[Shuichi Akai]] was truly dead.

He is especially close to Vermouth, who is described as his favorite, much to the chagrin of her enemies and those who mistrust her. He is also close to Gin, who often acts as an intermediary between he and other agents. Gin usually takes the lead planning role in assassinations that he has ordered. While most agents follow his orders, some agents have acted contrary to his wishes. As Conan before, he notices the photo of [[Pisco]] pointing his gun at the ceiling. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

The FBI believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought Akai could become a "[[Silver Bullet]]", someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. In that regard, he's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

== Appearance ==
[[File:M13-Crow.jpg|thumb|right|A crow in question.]]
Renya Karasuma has only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest and sometimes is used to introduced the Black Organization enshrouded in mystery or even other unrelated cases. The operatives dress in black, which [[Akemi Miyano]] says is supposed to resemble crows, so he is a crow-like man and Sunset Manor was his personified nest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
One stormy night, the six world greatest detectives [[Kogoro Mouri]] (along with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan, since [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] canceled), [[Saguru Hakuba]] (and his pet hawk Watson), Furuyo Senma, Shukuzen Ogami, Harufumi Mogi, and Ikumi Soda were invited by [[Kaitou Kid]] to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, an Inaka Village<ref>{{nihongo|Inaka Village|稲香村|Inakamura}} is a common name to many little unnamed villages across the countryside of Japan, who just have a few houses, rice fields and without any large cities near it.</ref> at 2 km from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]<ref>Anime original information, according to the villa junction and not Tokyo as Saguru Hakuba said.</ref> and six miles from a lonely gas station. While they were having their so-called "last supper", the host<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for his crime organization.</ref> told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who forty years ago had died at age 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention. Hakuba had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were lies about an out-of-control auction from the powerful business world caused by two art robbers with marijuana cigarettes smoke.
[[File:Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|left|The entire Golden Manor.]]
At the end of the case, it is revealed that two years ago, after Senma accidentally let the story slip to him, Ogami immediately tracked down the house and started to look for the treasure, but he couldn't solve the riddle. He had put himself into massive debt to buy the house and was in serious trouble, so he came up with the plan to assemble a team of great detectives, but he was poisoned with potassium cyanide by his partner Senma before did just like Karasuma forty years ago. Along with Kogoro, Hakuba, Mogi, and Soda, Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer comes off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Soda notes that it must be worth 100 billion yen, and that only Karasuma could do something on such a scale. Sunset being when the sky shines gold, it is literally a "Golden Manor".

Disguised as Kogoro from the start, Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Ogami, who wanted to kill the young maid Aki Ishihara and all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found, and Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her while she was still alive, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind Gin, [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], as also his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk Shinichi's and her body, Haibara visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, as also the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|Special Manga]]
=== The Last Wizard of the Century (Movie: [[The Last Wizard of the Century|3]]) ===
While Conan chases down leads on their organization, he's constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction sequence, one night running on ancient Greek ruins, he is suddenly stuck behind by a huge red demon with evil aura, of course the boss as the heart of the Black Organization, who moves among numerous yellow pieces, that represent all minor cases.

=== Time Travel of the Silver Sky (TV Special: [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky|1]]) ===
A software created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] can give the identity of anyone in the world and tries to find out the boss' identity between [[Tomoaki Araide]], Sharon Vineyard, Chiyoko Yuasa, Yusaku Kudo, four Shinichi's classmates, and a circus white lion, but eventually failed because of his untouchable forbidden area.

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth (episode 385).]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but being only the general oversight division secretary, Gin takes full responsibility.<ref>Episode 345 and movie 13.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth (episode 398).]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 5; anime episode 783.</ref> However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an off-season Halloween party aboard a ship, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. At the party, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone informing her that her freedom was now being restricted and she was to return: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth."

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth.<ref>Manga Volume 48, File 10; anime episode 425.</ref> For avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 1; anime episode 425.</ref> She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.<ref name=v53f10/>

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel|an FBI agent]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. [[Akai faked his death theory|Akai and Kir conspired to fake Akai's death]].

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9; anime episode 129.</ref> Before she could be even executed, Shiho manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 7; anime episode 129.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11; anime episode 178.</ref> Conan figures out his full number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him not to call it. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] has served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. After Pisco was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
He sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda write to his e-mail address every day.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to disguise himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]], infiltrate into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the greatest enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. When he met Gin and Vodka on a bullet train to Kyoto, Conan hoped that they could be meeting their mastermind in the dining car, but the resolution revealed that it wasn't his primary target.<ref>The [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with two lookalike criminals unrelated to the Black Organization, and the line about their mastermind was omitted.</ref> Gin's discussion with Pisco about the planned murder of Nomiguchi revealed to Conan his existence. Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. Asking confirm to [[Kyosuke Haga]] about that old song, Conan later uncovers his phone number, but Haibara warns him of the danger of calling it. From now on, until this comes to a close, Shinichi is in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by [[Andre Camel]]. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most.

==== Kyosuke Senma ====
[[File:EP219-Kyosuke Senma.jpg|thumb|right|Kyosuke Senma reminded by his old daughter.]]
Kyosuke Senma was an archeologist who Karasuma invited to his manor house forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. He had made copies of the riddle on a cheap mimeograph print on straw paper to hand out, and left one stuck between the piano keys. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. Become a famous detective, Furuyo only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Renya had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle: "I've finally gotten hold of the trump card that will decipher Karasuma's riddle, Kyosuke Senma." The key to the riddle was "Trump card" and he was referring to the literal face cards in a deck of playing cards: the King of Diamonds, the Queen of Hearts, and the Jack of Spades. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref name=black/> and was taken into custody for Ogami's murder.

|}

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a Tengu, a long-nosed demon that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and as that bird represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. According to the Old Testament, [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]] was the most wise King of Israel, but in his old age, many years after the [[Wikipedia: Queen of Sheba|Queen of Sheba]]'s visit, became corrupt due his many foreign wives, so received divine punishment and a glorious kingdom falled after his death. There is a possible parallel, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* According to Kogoro, his house looks more like Dracula's Castle than Sunset Manor, and up close even more like a haunted house. Because he sure is a terrible character, there's no doubt he is a cruel vampire, also known as a murderer, and the Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
* In addition to the author, until we finally reached his identity, only [[Minami Takayama]], his former wife and Conan's voice actor, and the anime production knew who was the boss.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as Shinichi/Conan's arch-enemy is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious boss behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called as '''{{nihongo|Ano kata|あの方|lit. "That Person"}}''' by his subordinates, and the primary antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:EP219-Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|right|Sunset Manor]]
Renya Karasuma was a wealthy and influential multi-millionaire who is the most powerful person in Japan, with a lot of famous, powerful and political people contacts. He is the very best richer than [[Suzuki family|Suzuki plutocrats]] and [[Ooka family]].<ref name=black>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref> He is said to have died elderly between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under mysterious circumstances.<ref>Senma's father was working for Karasuma around forty years ago, back in the days before they invented copiers. However, when Senma discovered the secret message in her father's letter twenty years ago, Karasuma was already dead.</ref> During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited [[Sunset Manor]] from her and over time filled his vacation home with his silver crest which depicts a rolled-up crow. Below are several examples about that logo:
<spoiler>

|}</spoiler>

He found a clue about the King, Queen, and Knight leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that beautiful western-style manor house, but he was unable to solve it himself. Consumed by his own greed for the treasure, he came to hire people to solve the riddle for him, such as the archaeologist Kyosuke Senma, and then began killing them as motivation for the others to work faster. The [[Karasuma family]] had declined, and the house had fallen into other hands. Hardly anything has been touched since the incident and those murders were the cause behind the numerous old bloodstains all over in the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku<ref>All his subordinates' anime version cars have indeed Shinjuku (新宿) as license plate.</ref> that pay well as sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them<ref>Manga Volume 95, File 8; anime episode TBD.</ref>, so directs activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "The [[Black Organization]]". While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his subordinates only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261<ref>In episode 398, the number is wrong #696#6261.</ref>, purposefully made non-functional by [[Gosho Aoyama]] to prevent prank calls.<ref>In real life, # signs can't be used in an email address, but Gosho Aoyama decided to use them here to prevent pranks.</ref> [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] warns Conan of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. He is responsible for promoting agents<ref name=v53f10>Manga Volume 53, File 10; anime episode 464.</ref> and deciding on their alcoholic code names, but he doesn't have one own. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] think that only a few of the highest ranking executive agents like [[Gin]] or [[Vermouth]] could lead them to the elusive boss.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma as a greedy, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside Sunset Manor. Furthermore, he seems not to value the cost of human life as he brutally killed numerous people that he invited just as motivation to find the treasure faster, a decision made by himself who was driven by his own insanity.

Intelligent and manipulator, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been loyal to the Black Organization for many years for a single mistake. Vermouth says that he is always careful to the extreme, the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.<ref>Manga Volume 67, File 8; anime episode 581.</ref> Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization despite many agents disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. He is known to give permission to agents who wish to pursue certain secret missions, such as [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and Vermouth's plan to make sure [[Shuichi Akai]] was truly dead.

He is especially close to Vermouth, who is described as his favorite, much to the chagrin of her enemies and those who mistrust her. He is also close to Gin, who often acts as an intermediary between he and other agents. Gin usually takes the lead planning role in assassinations that he has ordered. While most agents follow his orders, some agents have acted contrary to his wishes. As Conan before, he notices the photo of [[Pisco]] pointing his gun at the ceiling. Unless he bring Conan back alive, [[Irish]] should think his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

The FBI believed he was hoping to nip a potential obstacle in the bud because Yasuteru Domon, who is a politician hard on crime and not part of the Diet yet, may have a chance of becoming the next Prime Minister. He thought Akai could become a "[[Silver Bullet]]", someone who is especially dangerous to the entire Black Organization. In that regard, he's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

== Appearance ==
[[File:M13-Crow.jpg|thumb|right|A crow in question.]]
Renya Karasuma has only appeared as an ominous silhouette: the hair extended to the neck, a large nose shaped like a beak, and a somewhat obese body shape. He dressed in black with a white scarf, held a walking stick with a ball handle on his right hand with long nails like a bird's leg, and on his left shoulder there is a pet crow, the creepy bird which is also depicted on his crest and sometimes is used to introduced the Black Organization enshrouded in mystery or even other unrelated cases. The operatives dress in black, which [[Akemi Miyano]] says is supposed to resemble crows, so he is a crow-like man and Sunset Manor was his personified nest. He is right-handed.

== Plot overview ==
=== Kaitou Kid and the Murder (Manga: [[Volume 30#Kaitou Kid and the Murder|299-302]], Anime: [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid|219]]) ===
[[File:Oogami-Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|Detective Ogami possessed by Karasuma.]]
One stormy night, the six world greatest detectives [[Kogoro Mouri]] (along with [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Conan, since [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] canceled), [[Saguru Hakuba]] (and his pet hawk Watson), Furuyo Senma, Shukuzen Ogami, Harufumi Mogi, and Ikumi Soda were invited by [[Kaitou Kid]] to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated Shizuoka Prefecture mountains, an Inaka Village<ref>{{nihongo|Inaka Village|稲香村|Inakamura}} is a common name to many little unnamed villages across the countryside of Japan, who just have a few houses, rice fields and without any large cities near it.</ref> at 2 km from [[Wikipedia: Okuno Dam|Okuno Dam]]<ref>Anime original information, according to the villa junction and not Tokyo as Saguru Hakuba said.</ref> and six miles from a lonely gas station. While they were having their so-called "last supper", the host<ref>The host dummy wears a frightening phantom's purple hood with only two eye slits, just like the members of the [[Wikipedia: KKK|KKK]], one of the secret societies that were the sources of inspiration for his crime organization.</ref> told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma, who forty years ago had died at age 99, and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention. Hakuba had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers, but were lies about an out-of-control auction from the powerful business world caused by two art robbers with marijuana cigarettes smoke.
[[File:Sunset Manor.jpg|thumb|left|The entire Golden Manor.]]
At the end of the case, it is revealed that two years ago, after Senma accidentally let the story slip to him, Ogami immediately tracked down the house and started to look for the treasure, but he couldn't solve the riddle. He had put himself into massive debt to buy the house and was in serious trouble, so he came up with the plan to assemble a team of great detectives, but he was poisoned with potassium cyanide by his partner Senma before did just like Karasuma forty years ago. Along with Kogoro, Hakuba, Mogi, and Soda, Conan solved the riddle: using the hands of the only clock in the dining room, which is the switch, as the combination for a lock, a layer comes off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Soda notes that it must be worth 100 billion yen, and that only Karasuma could do something on such a scale. Sunset being when the sky shines gold, it is literally a "Golden Manor".

Disguised as Kogoro from the start, Kaitou Kid had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Ogami, who wanted to kill the young maid Aki Ishihara and all the others blaming Kaitou Kid once the treasure was found, and Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle her father left for her while she was still alive, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|criminal silhouette]] behind Gin, [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette behind Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth in the anime version. It'd be a bad idea to send a message to that address, but Conan is calm down sure he'll get his chance one day and he'll contact the boss.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have come to the conclusion that "ASACA" and "RUM", the dying message left at the scene of [[Kohji Haneda]]'s murder, is actually one single name: "CARASUMA". When Yusaku reveals it to his son, Conan visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], as also his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

=== TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 96#TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case|1025]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reminds that the thing his group made her parents create at the lab they went to, which was the drug that shrunk Shinichi's and her body, Haibara visualized Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, as also the pet crow on his left shoulder.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|Special Manga]]
=== The Last Wizard of the Century (Movie: [[The Last Wizard of the Century|3]]) ===
While Conan chases down leads on their organization, he's constantly confronted by difficult cases. In the introduction sequence, one night running on ancient Greek ruins, he is suddenly stuck behind by a huge red demon with evil aura, of course the boss as the heart of the Black Organization, who moves among numerous yellow pieces, that represent all minor cases.

=== Time Travel of the Silver Sky (TV Special: [[Time Travel of the Silver Sky|1]]) ===
A software created by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] can give the identity of anyone in the world and tries to find out the boss' identity between [[Tomoaki Araide]], Sharon Vineyard, Chiyoko Yuasa, Yusaku Kudo, four Shinichi's classmates, and a circus white lion, but eventually failed because of his untouchable forbidden area.

=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the Black Organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s memory erasure drug in order to have complete control of the world, Haibara visualized the boss as a criminal silhouette clutching a globe.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== Rum ====
[[Rum]] is the second-in-command in the organization, meaning that he must trust him/her.

==== Gin ====
[[File:Ano Kata.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and Vermouth (episode 385).]]
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent in the general oversight division, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking Black Organization members. Gin follows his orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return he entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. He often issues orders to Gin directly by text message for him to disseminate to the others, and the two are implied to contact each other fairly often about instructions and suspicions. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion, as deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] or to kill Vermouth if she does anything weird even if she is his favorite. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
[[Vodka]] fears consequence to act without his permission, but being only the general oversight division secretary, Gin takes full responsibility.<ref>Episode 345 and movie 13.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
[[File:BossBlackshadow4.jpg|thumb|right|The boss, Gin, Vodka, and naked Vermouth (episode 398).]]
[[Vermouth]] is known as his favorite member by the other members although the reason for the favoritism is unknown, to the point of giving her limited independence and protecting her from other members who hates, mistrusts and wishes to kill her. Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the boss, implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 5; anime episode 783.</ref> However, even then, he still willingly sends her into deadly missions. He has also unintentionally allowed Vermouth to undermine the organization by protecting someone she thinks is especially dangerous: [[Conan Edogawa|Silver Bullet]]. During an off-season Halloween party aboard a ship, discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the Black Organization's knowledge, he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. At the party, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone informing her that her freedom was now being restricted and she was to return: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth."

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth.<ref>Manga Volume 48, File 10; anime episode 425.</ref> For avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago for real, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her.<ref>Manga Volume 49, File 1; anime episode 425.</ref> She seems envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.<ref name=v53f10/>

==== Kir ====
He promoted [[Kir]] because she had uncovered a spy and confronted him. The spy, [[Ethan Hondou]], overpowered and tortured her for information, but [[Rena Mizunashi]] remained silent. Although completely crippled, Rena bit Ethan's wrist to force him to drop his gun, and then killed him. The bite marks and Ethan's recording device coincided with her story, so he promoted her to the codename Kir in recognition of her loyalty and sheer savageness. In truth, he was fooled. Ethan Hondou was Kir's father and they both are [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] spies infiltrating the Black Organization. Rena had made a mistake and was about to be uncovered as a spy. Ethan, who had prepared appropriately ahead of time in case this happened, told Rena to tell the organization she discovered he was a spy and tried to confront him. Ethan then committed suicide after maiming himself and his daughter to make it appear like the story Ethan had just explained. He orders Kir to assassinate the politician Yasuteru Domon while holding an interview. After the Black Organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not made a strong move. Gin thought that Shuichi is hiding something and relays his doubt to him, who also agrees. He and Gin plan a test of Kir's loyalty. Meanwhile, [[Andre Camel|an FBI agent]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The Black Organization hears about it, and taking advantage of the FBI's distraction, Gin calls out Kir and tells her his order. In order to regain his trust, she is to call Akai out to meet with her and kill him. Kir meets with Akai at Raiha Pass and apparently kills him. However, he was fooled again. [[Akai faked his death theory|Akai and Kir conspired to fake Akai's death]].

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Shiho Miyano. However, Bourbon received his permission to execute a second, secret mission: verified Shuichi Akai's death by disguising as Akai and approaching his FBI colleagues. In truth, Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Shiho Miyano/Ai Haibara ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the Black Organization.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9; anime episode 129.</ref> Before she could be even executed, Shiho manages to escape and he ordered the Black Organization to hunt her down and murder her.<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 7; anime episode 129.</ref><ref>Manga Volume 24, File 11; anime episode 178.</ref> Conan figures out his full number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him not to call it. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] has served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. After Pisco was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
He sends [[Rikumichi Kusuda]] to Haido Central Hospital to act as a patient while searching for Kir, who is currently held captive by the FBI. Kusuda write to his e-mail address every day.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to disguise himself as [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto]], infiltrate into [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department]], and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all the Black Organization agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered without knowing what is on it, and find the card. When he discovers Conan's true identity, Irish plans to capture and bring the boy before him to discredit Gin, who killed Pisco, whom Irish respected like a father. Irish believes that he would definitely demote or have Gin killed for carelessly leaving Shinichi alive. However, because his cover was blown, Irish was killed by Chianti under Gin's orders before Conan can force him to reveal the boss' true identity.

==== Generic ====
He orders [[Generic]] to leave Sherry alone with her experiments and to make a new drug that controls memories. He planned to use this drug on all the most important people in the world, in particular to make the US president think who is one of the organization members, ergo having complete control of the world. However, Generic escapes the Black Organization using the same method as Sherry.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the greatest enemy of his organization, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. When he met Gin and Vodka on a bullet train to Kyoto, Conan hoped that they could be meeting their mastermind in the dining car, but the resolution revealed that it wasn't his primary target.<ref>The [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|anime version]] replaced Gin and Vodka with two lookalike criminals unrelated to the Black Organization, and the line about their mastermind was omitted.</ref> Gin's discussion with Pisco about the planned murder of Nomiguchi revealed to Conan his existence. Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. Asking confirm to [[Kyosuke Haga]] about that old song, Conan later uncovers his phone number, but Haibara warns him of the danger of calling it. From now on, until this comes to a close, Shinichi is in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the Black Organization who could lead the FBI to the boss was the goal of [[Shuichi Akai]]'s spy mission. After three years of infiltration, he gave the undercover FBI agent the codename "Rye" and ordered him to work under Gin. The FBI's plan to capture Gin fell apart when Akai's true allegiance was uncovered due to a mistake made by [[Andre Camel]]. In the two years since the mission failure, he came to regard Akai could become the Black Organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most.

==== Kyosuke Senma ====
[[File:EP219-Kyosuke Senma.jpg|thumb|right|Kyosuke Senma reminded by his old daughter.]]
Kyosuke Senma was an archeologist who Karasuma invited to his manor house forty years ago. He wanted Senma to find the treasure before he died of old age. He had made copies of the riddle on a cheap mimeograph print on straw paper to hand out, and left one stuck between the piano keys. It was a very well-paid job. His wife and then 23-year-old daughter Furuyo received large sums of money, along with a letter from him, almost every day. But after six months, the money and letters suddenly stopped coming. Senma, who had never given their his address, vanished forever. Become a famous detective, Furuyo only found out the truth when she held his last letter, which she had kept as a memento, against a light. He had written a secret note by poking tiny holes in the paper left for her with a needle. He recorded the riddle of the treasure and wrote that many other scholars had been invited to the manor. He also wrote that Karasuma had begun to kill those scholars, one by one, as a warning to the others, and that even if he found the treasure, he too would be killed. She didn't tell the police about it because it was twenty years after the fact, when Renya had already passed on. Presumably a victim of his treasure hunting fanaticism, Senma did solve the riddle, and left a clue about it in a note letters written in blood on the piano, revealed with luminol, and Karasuma never activated the device clock because never knew the answer to the riddle: "I've finally gotten hold of the trump card that will decipher Karasuma's riddle, Kyosuke Senma." The key to the riddle was "Trump card" and he was referring to the literal face cards in a deck of playing cards: the King of Diamonds, Queen of Hearts, and Jack of Spades. His old daughter hasn't never met Karasuma<ref name=black/> and was taken into custody for Ogami's murder.

|}

== Speculation ==
The fact that his supposed 'death' should have occurred forty years ago could fit with Haibara's thought that Shinichi had gotten involved in a project that the organization had worked on for a half century, and that there could be some unbelievable people, that are not supposed to be a part of this world.

It is clear that he, to be still alive, must have been rejuvenated and hide inside another known person.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest or a Tengu, a long-nosed demon that is also "Crow billed Tengu" and as that bird represents [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto.<ref>Movie 7: [[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]</ref>

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the characters for "[[Wikipedia: Nelumbo nucifera|lotus]]" and "father".

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho Aoyama was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Professor Moriarty|Professor James Moriarty]], the main antagonist in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series, to create the Black Organization boss.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, the boss doesn't show his face and works as a shadow behind the scenes, only pulling the strings on the crimes from far away, sort of like [[Wikipedia: Al Capone|Al Capone]] did.<ref>Interview with Aoyama Gosho March 2014</ref> He is depicted as a cold-blooded person who doesn't leave a single scrap of evidence, while working and remains anonymous to the public, and the silhouette similar to Moriarty's in the novels.

== Trivia ==
* The anime version big painting in his manor dining room is a ''[[The Gathering of the Detectives! Shinichi Kudo vs. Kaitou Kid#Trivia|Visita de la reina de Saba a Salomón]]'' replica, but with an inverted orientation. According to the Old Testament, [[Wikipedia: Solomon|Solomon]] was the most wise King of Israel, but in his old age, many years after the [[Wikipedia: Queen of Sheba|Queen of Sheba]]'s visit, became corrupt due his many foreign wives, so received divine punishment and a glorious kingdom falled after his death. There is a possible parallel, because he was also the most rich and powerful man in all of Japan in his time, but eventually turned into a devil for his own selfish reasons.
* According to Kogoro, his house looks more like Dracula's Castle than Sunset Manor, and up close even more like a haunted house. Because he sure is a terrible character, there's no doubt he is a cruel vampire, also known as a murderer, and the Japanese believe black crows carry souls to the beyond.
* In addition to the author, until we finally reached his identity, only [[Minami Takayama]], his former wife and Conan's voice actor, and the anime production knew who was the boss.
* Due his obese and aristocratic appearance, as well as his bird-like face, he bears a resemblance with [[Wikipedia: Penguin (character)|Penguin]], the famous Batman villain, one of the US comics favorited by the author.
* His role as Shinichi/Conan's arch-enemy is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Kamen Rider and Kamen Yaiba.jpg|thumb|right|Kamen Yaiba is a parody of Kamen Rider.]]
The name Kamen Yaiba is a combination of a parody of the Tokusatsu tv show Kamen Rider, as well as [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s previous manga and anime ''[[Yaiba]]''. The ''Kamen Rider'' franchise itself has had screenplays done by [[Toshiki Inoue]]. Several ''Detective Conan'' actors have appeared on ''Kamen Rider'', including: [[Tori Matsuzaka]], [[Seizo Kato]], [[Rikiya Koyama]], [[Takanori Jinnai]].

== Trivia ==
* The characters in the series are often compared to those in ''Detective Conan'':
** Kamen Yaiba: [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]]<ref name=ep119>Episode 119</ref><ref name=v23f10>Manga Volume 23, File 10; anime episode 156.</ref>
** Rei Natsume/The Original Kamen Yaiba's love interest: [[Ran Mouri]]<ref name=ep119/>
** The female spy who's betrayed the evil organization Jocker and confessed her love to Kamen Yaiba: [[Ai Haibara]]<ref name=v23f10/>
** Laser Police: [[Law Enforcement]]
** Jocker's boss: [[The Boss]]<ref name=v92f7>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>
** Second-in-command of the boss: [[Rum]]<ref name=v92f7/>
** The evil organization Jocker: [[Black Organization]]
* Kamen Yaiba is the cell phone background of Mitsuhiko's phone in [[Emergency Situation 252]].
* He's been referred to as [[Samurai Kid]] since around volume 30 of the English translation of the manga, which is what the translation used to call Yaiba whenever elements of that series made a cameo. This is an obvious translation error; they have similar names.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
[[Genta Kojima|Genta]] has been acting weird at school lately. He is hiding under his futon at home, and doesn't eat his lunch instead of racing to finish first which is worrying his teacher [[Sumiko Kobayashi|Kobayashi]]. When he leaves school, Genta climbs over the wall and runs, like he is trying to lose someone. When the [[Detective Boys]] confront him, he tells them someone is trying to kill him. Earlier, he had heard the sound of someone's footsteps keeping pace with him in a tunnel. Later he was pushed off a bridge, and a burning car hurtled towards him. As he was telling the Detective Boys this, they reached a place outside a store where Genta likes to play a Yaiba Game machine. A large bolt falls nearby, barely alerting the Detective Boys in time to avoid part of the store's "BAKER" sign hurtling to the ground.

}}

[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] examines the support cable, and determines it had been deliberately cut and someone was indeed after Genta's life. They go to a burger restaurant and Genta reveals the man he thinks is trying to kill him is the purse snatcher the police are after. Genta had seen the man sometime earlier, before he was a wanted burglar, but had forgotten where it was. Genta does remember a golden haired man was with him when he saw the thief. Genta also explains that he went to a crime scene where the snatcher struck five days ago and saw his golden-haired witness in the crowd. He took the witness to the police and told them the story, but the witness denied seeing the thief. Genta later gets a mysterious phone call: "If you tell anyone that you saw me, I will kill you!! You, your family, and everybody that you know!"

Genta tries to recall where he saw the thief. He remembers the witness sitting beside him, but doesn't remember the thief sitting down. Genta was sleepy at the time. The things he remembers about the thief are that he was holding a cigarette in his left hand, meaning he is left handed. He was also wearing a tee-shirt with a skull and the numbers 202 in [[Wikipedia:seven-segment display|digital clock-like numerals]]. Genta notices one of the customers at the burger place has a similar tee-shirt, only with the numbers 1999 instead. Conan asks the man where he got his shirt, and the man tells him it is from the Bones clothing store. The Detective Boys run to find the place, but unfortunately the criminal had followed them into the restaurant and overheard everything.

At the shop, the salesperson explains that they sold a variety of shirts like that with different text such as "Escape", "Help", and "1999" because of the doomsday prediction in 2000, but none that say 202. The salesperson doesn't remember anyone unusual either. Genta does remember a few more details about the thief though. The thief was reading a newspaper, the place allowed smoking, and Genta never took his eyes off of him meaning it was a place where it wouldn't be unusual to watch someone without making them uncomfortable. From those clues, Conan realizes the answer. To avoid alerting the thief who is watching nearby, Conan whispers something to Genta.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Genta tries to remember where he saw the purse snatcher. After eating ice cream, seeing the Flag of France, and looking at a store mirror, he heads to a barber shop. Afterwards the purse snatcher confronts him but Conan reveals it is a trap. What Genta saw was the reflection of the mirror of the barbershop. The purse snatcher's shirt actually said "SOS" instead of "202". Also, he had a cigarette in his right hand which means he is right handed. The purse snatcher is actually '''Kamiyo Someda''' who changed his hair color at the barber shop. Now the thief is surrounded by cops.

When Conan and Haibara discuss the left-handed right-handed mix-up that occurred during this case, Haibara reveals to Conan that [[Gin]] is left-handed.</spoiler>

[[File:Sonoko 625-626.jpg|thumb|right|Sonoko and Ran clutching Conan in fear in a haunted house.]]
When [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] goes to his alma mater for a "speech", [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] end up going with him. Sonsaku Tsujiei, a 4th year student at Beika University, wants Kogoro to look at the haunted house and evaluate its accuracy. When Kogoro takes too long during his speech, Conan, Ran, and Sonoko decide to check out the haunted house themselves. Tsujiei and Kiichi Hachiya (a colleague) escort them into the haunted house only to later play tricks to scare them.

}}

Meanwhile, Sonoko has been pressuring Ran to properly confess to Shinichi about her feelings towards him. Before they're about to go in, Tadami told them, "Be prepared to feast your eyes upon the manner of my death". Sonoko told Ran that it's going to be all right and she knows it's all fake. Ran told Sonoko she got scared too. Sonoko then said she didn't expected that she would get scared. That's the whole point of haunted houses. When they are in the "Operating Room", Anna Tadami, the victim, is playing the patient during the operation and is convulsing on the operating table. When the trick is over, everyone realizes that Tadami hadn't finished her part. When they try to get her to wake up, Conan realizes she has been poisoned by cyanide.

The police have arrived at the scene. The police conclude it to be suicide after finding a cyanide capsule in her mouth and her past obsession with death. However, Conan points out that marks on the victim's face revealed an unknown assailant forced Tadami to bite into the capsule allowing the police to consider the possibility of murder.

==== Part 2 ====
Conan notices that the blood on the bedsheet is in a thin line.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Conan investigates the scene and deduces Tadami was already dead before they arrived in the room and that the culprit feigned her convulsion in order to fake the time of death. He notices that there are gaps and holes in the underside of the table. Using two sheets and the culprit's feet, it is possible for the culprit to fake the movement of the table by using their feet as a decoy. Everyone outside will think it is actually Tadami's feet. Using Takagi as a substitute culprit, Conan demonstrates this via Sonoko. Conan points out that Anna had bright red painted toenails. When the culprit noticed this while preparing her body, he had to use the blood as fake nail polish, so the culprit would be the one with the red nails. '''Sonsaku Tsujiei''' had used Athlete's Foot as an excuse to not show his feet, but when he was ordered to take his shoes off, he had red toe nails.
Tsujiei explained that he killed Tadami because she told Hashiguchi that if he was going to commit suicide, then he should video tape it so that she can have footage on how an actual death would occur.

==== Part 1 ====
[[File:Sonoko 625-626.jpg|thumb|right|Sonoko and Ran clutching Conan in fear in a haunted house.]]
When [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] goes to his alma mater for a "speech", [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] end up going with him. Sonsaku Tsujiei, a 4th year student at Beika University, wants Kogoro to look at the haunted house and evaluate its accuracy. When Kogoro takes too long during his speech, Conan, Ran, and Sonoko decide to check out the haunted house themselves. Tsujiei and Kiichi Hachiya (a colleague) escort them into the haunted house only to later play tricks to scare them.

{{InfoBox Crime

| image = EP625-626 Gallery 10.jpg

| description = When Tsujiei and Hachiya talk about Hashiguchi commited suicide by poison. He's dead
}}

Meanwhile, Sonoko has been pressuring Ran to properly confess to Shinichi about her feelings towards him. Before they're about to go in, Tadami told them, "Be prepared to feast your eyes upon the manner of my death". Sonoko told Ran that it's going to be all right and she knows it's all fake. Ran told Sonoko she got scared too. Sonoko then said she didn't expected that she would get scared. That's the whole point of haunted houses. When they are in the "Operating Room", Anna Tadami, the victim, is playing the patient during the operation and is convulsing on the operating table. When the trick is over, everyone realizes that Tadami hadn't finished her part. When they try to get her to wake up, Conan realizes she has been poisoned by cyanide.

{{InfoBox Crime
| crime = Suicide?

| description = When Tsujiei and Hachiya tried to wake her up, she isn't breathing. Could this be suicide by taking a poison?
}}

The police have arrived at the scene. The police conclude it to be suicide after finding a cyanide capsule in her mouth and her past obsession with death. However, Conan points out that marks on the victim's face revealed an unknown assailant forced Tadami to bite into the capsule allowing the police to consider the possibility of murder.

==== Part 2 ====
Conan notices that the blood on the bedsheet is in a thin line.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
Conan investigates the scene and deduces Tadami was already dead before they arrived in the room and that the culprit feigned her convulsion in order to fake the time of death. He notices that there are gaps and holes in the underside of the table. Using two sheets and the culprit's feet, it is possible for the culprit to fake the movement of the table by using their feet as a decoy. Everyone outside will think it is actually Tadami's feet. Using Takagi as a substitute culprit, Conan demonstrates this via Sonoko. Conan points out that Anna had bright red painted toenails. When the culprit noticed this while preparing her body, he had to use the blood as fake nail polish, so the culprit would be the one with the red nails. '''Sonsaku Tsujiei''' had used Athlete's Foot as an excuse to not show his feet, but when he was ordered to take his shoes off, he had red toe nails.
Tsujiei explained that he killed Tadami because she told Hashiguchi that if he was going to commit suicide, then he should video tape it so that she can have footage on how an actual death would occur. Hashiguchi later committed suicide. Enraged that Tadami could've stopped his suicide, Tsujiei decided to take the initiative and kill her.

== Name origin ==
[[File:Kamen Rider and Kamen Yaiba.jpg|thumb|right|Kamen Yaiba is a parody of Kamen Rider.]]
The name Kamen Yaiba is a combination of a parody of the Tokusatsu tv show Kamen Rider, as well as [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s previous manga and anime ''[[Yaiba]]''. The ''Kamen Rider'' franchise itself has had screenplays done by [[Toshiki Inoue]]. Several ''Detective Conan'' actors have appeared on ''Kamen Rider'', including: [[Tori Matsuzaka]], [[Seizo Kato]], [[Rikiya Koyama]], [[Takanori Jinnai]].

== Trivia ==
* The characters in the series are often compared to those in ''Detective Conan'':
** Kamen Yaiba: [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]]<ref name=ep119>Episode 119</ref><ref name=v23f10>Manga Volume 23, File 10; anime episode 156.</ref>
** Rei Natsume/The Original Kamen Yaiba's love interest: [[Ran Mouri]]<ref name=ep119/>
** The female spy who's betrayed the criminal organization and confessed her love to Kamen Yaiba: [[Ai Haibara]]<ref name=v23f10/>
** Laser Police: [[Law Enforcement]]
** Jocker's boss: [[The Boss]]<ref name=v92f7>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>
** Second-in-command of the boss: [[Rum]]<ref name=v92f7/>
** The evil organization Jocker: [[Black Organization]]
* Kamen Yaiba is the cell phone background of Mitsuhiko's phone in [[Emergency Situation 252]].
* He's been referred to as [[Samurai Kid]] since around volume 30 of the English translation of the manga, which is what the translation used to call Yaiba whenever elements of that series made a cameo. This is an obvious translation error; they have similar names.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
After visiting an exhibit on hidden treasures Conan and his friends find a piece of paper with symbols and the word "Oro" written on it. A treasure hunt ensues but does not discover much. Conan, initially not interested in the children's treasure hunt finally realizes that the paper is a treasure map after learning that "Oro" means gold in Italian. That night, Conan determines that the symbols refer to neon light signs on buildings.

{{clearleft}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
** There's no doubt that '''Dino Cavane''' and his '''accomplices''' are responsible for the theft of the Maple Leaf coins, but Cavane refuses to say where the coins are hidden.
** Conan and the Detective Boys find a piece of paper with odd symbols drawn on it and the word "ORO" as they leave a museum.
** After looking at an Italian-Japanese dictionary, Conan realizes "ORO" means "Gold" in Italian. Conan is shocked to realize he and the Detective Boys really did find a treasure map.
** Conan is puzzled why someone who is Italian would make a reference to a Japanese street name near Tohto<ref name="tohto">[[:File:Spelling of 東都.jpg]]</ref> Tower.

* '''Conclusion'''
Conan realizes that the shapes on the treasure map really refer to the shapes of neon signs near Tohto<ref name="tohto" /> Tower. It wouldn't make sense for someone who does not speak Japanese to make a reference to a Japanese named street, but rather draw pictures of a recognizable objects they saw.

Conan and the Detective Boys manage to find the location of the missing Maple Leaf coins, only to be confronted by Cavane's thugs. Thanks to Conan's quick thinking, Conan and the Detective Boys manage to knock the thugs unconscious and run to the police.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* An entire portion of the story is left out of the anime where Ran takes Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko to [[Setting#Tokyo Tower/Tohto Tower|Tohto Tower]]. She recalls a time when she and Shinichi visited the tower and when he bought her a cold drink, which he put up to her cheek. Conan does the same thing, which prompts her to ask him about his true identity (as the manga version takes place after the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]). Conan responds by stating that he is [[Kamen Yaiba]]. The scene in question would later appear (ironically) at the begining of the fourth movie [[Captured in Her Eyes]] which Ran has a flashback too.
* In the manga, Genta envisions that the Italian gangsters will shoot him, and imagines himself lying in a pool of his own blood. The anime substitutes a less graphic and more stylized image, with a miniature Genta being riddled with colorful, cartoon-like gunshots.

== Remastered version ==
On June 6, 2009, a remastered version of the case was aired

== Trivia ==
* This is the first case of [[Detective Boys]].

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
** Just outside the park, Conan saw two men who hurriedly left in a white car
** Inside the trunk were paper bags with lots of money inside
** Ayumi found a saw covered in a slippery fluid
** Ayumi discovered a girl's head wrapped in newspaper
** The suspects were heard talking about ransom money and killing the girl who saw their faces

* '''Conclusion'''
Turns out, the kidnappers were stage actors for a mystery play, and the head was a fake. Since Conan ruined the head and knocked out the other actor, the [[Detective Boys]] took part in the play so the show could go on. The three boys played the man in a brown coat: Genta, saying the lines, was at the bottom, Mitsuhiko in the middle and on Genta's shoulders, and Conan on top of them, with a hat, a mustache, and sunglasses. Ayumi played the dead girl covered in fake blood and hid inside a bag. And during the play, while acting with a dead face, she thought, "I am never playing hide and seek again!"</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* The anime version includes a flashback with Agasa describing how the Detective Boys Badges work, which is absent from the manga version as they were introduced in the manga version of [[Missing Corpse Murder Case]].
* While searching for Ayumi, the boys notice [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] in a patrol car. After they find Ayumi, they see Inspector Megure pass by in the patrol car again, this time with a criminal. Both of these moments are anime-only.

== Remastered version ==
On June 27, 2009, a remastered version of the case was aired.

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
After visiting an exhibit on hidden treasures Conan and his friends find a piece of paper with symbols and the word "Oro" written on it. A treasure hunt ensues but does not discover much. Conan, initially not interested in the children's treasure hunt finally realizes that the paper is a treasure map after learning that "Oro" means gold in Italian. That night, Conan determines that the symbols refer to neon light signs on buildings.

{{InfoBox Crime

| victim =
| suspects = Dino Cavane, and Cavane's accomplices
| description = The day before Conan and the Detective Boys found a treasure map, Dino Cavane was arrested by police but the whereabouts of the 15,000 Maple Leaf gold coins he stole is still a mystery...

{{clearleft}}

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>
* '''Evidence'''
** There's no doubt that '''Dino Cavane''' and his '''accomplices''' are responsible for the theft of the Maple Leaf coins, but Cavane refuses to say where the coins are hidden.
** Conan and the Detective Boys find a piece of paper with odd symbols drawn on it and the word "ORO" as they leave a museum.
** After looking at an Italian-Japanese dictionary, Conan realizes "ORO" means "Gold" in Italian. Conan is shocked to realize he and the Detective Boys really did find a treasure map.
** Conan is puzzled why someone who is Italian would make a reference to a Japanese street name near Tohto<ref name="tohto">[[:File:Spelling of 東都.jpg]]</ref> Tower.

* '''Conclusion'''
Conan realizes that the shapes on the treasure map really refer to the shapes of neon signs near Tohto<ref name="tohto" /> Tower. It wouldn't make sense for someone who does not speak Japanese to make a reference to a Japanese named street, but rather draw pictures of a recognizable objects they saw.

Conan and the Detective Boys manage to find the location of the missing Maple Leaf coins, only to be confronted by Cavane's thugs. Thanks to Conan's quick thinking, Conan and the Detective Boys manage to knock the thugs unconscious and run to the police.</spoiler>

== Manga to anime changes ==
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
* An entire portion of the story is left out of the anime where Ran takes Conan, Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko to [[Setting#Tokyo Tower/Tohto Tower|Tohto Tower]]. She recalls a time when she and Shinichi visited the tower and when he bought her a cold drink, which he put up to her cheek. Conan does the same thing, which prompts her to ask him about his true identity (as the manga version takes place after the [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]). Conan responds by stating that he is [[Kamen Yaiba]]. The scene in question would later appear (ironically) at the begining of the fourth movie [[Captured in Her Eyes]] which Ran has a flashback too.
* In the manga, Genta envisions that the Italian gangsters will shoot him, and imagines himself lying in a pool of his own blood. The anime substitutes a less graphic and more stylized image, with a miniature Genta being riddled with colorful, cartoon-like gunshots.

== Remastered version ==
On June 6, 2009, a remastered version of the case was aired

== Trivia ==
* This is the first case of [[Detective Boys]].

=== Situation ===
[[Genta Kojima|Genta]] has been acting weird at school lately. He is hiding under his futon at home, and doesn't eat his lunch instead of racing to finish first which is worrying his teacher [[Sumiko Kobayashi|Kobayashi]]. When he leaves school, Genta climbs over the wall and runs, like he is trying to lose someone. When the [[Detective Boys]] confront him, he tells them someone is trying to kill him. Earlier, he had heard the sound of someone's footsteps keeping pace with him in a tunnel. Later he was pushed off a bridge, and a burning car hurtled towards him. As he was telling the Detective Boys this, they reached a place outside a store where Genta likes to play a Yaiba Game machine. A large bolt falls nearby, barely alerting the Detective Boys in time to avoid part of the store's "BAKER" sign hurtling to the ground.

}}

[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] examines the support cable, and determines it had been deliberately cut and someone was indeed after Genta's life. They go to a burger restaurant and Genta reveals the man he thinks is trying to kill him is the purse snatcher the police are after. Genta had seen the man sometime earlier, before he was a wanted burglar, but had forgotten where it was. Genta does remember a golden haired man was with him when he saw the thief. Genta also explains that he went to a crime scene where the snatcher struck five days ago and saw his golden-haired witness in the crowd. He took the witness to the police and told them the story, but the witness denied seeing the thief. Genta later gets a mysterious phone call: "If you tell anyone that you saw me, I will kill you!! You, your family, and everybody that you know!"

Genta tries to recall where he saw the thief. He remembers the witness sitting beside him, but doesn't remember the thief sitting down. Genta was sleepy at the time. The things he remembers about the thief are that he was holding a cigarette in his left hand, meaning he is left handed. He was also wearing a tee-shirt with a skull and the numbers 202 in [[Wikipedia:seven-segment display|digital clock-like numerals]]. Genta notices one of the customers at the burger place has a similar tee-shirt, only with the numbers 1999 instead. Conan asks the man where he got his shirt, and the man tells him it is from the Bones clothing store. The Detective Boys run to find the place, but unfortunately the criminal had followed them into the restaurant and overheard everything.

At the shop, the salesperson explains that they sold a variety of shirts like that with different text such as "Escape", "Help", and "1999" because of the doomsday prediction in 2000, but none that say 202. The salesperson doesn't remember anyone unusual either. Genta does remember a few more details about the thief though. The thief was reading a newspaper, the place allowed smoking, and Genta never took his eyes off of him meaning it was a place where it wouldn't be unusual to watch someone without making them uncomfortable. From those clues, Conan realizes the answer. To avoid alerting the thief who is watching nearby, Conan whispers something to Genta.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>Genta tries to remember where he saw the purse snatcher. After eating ice cream, seeing the Flag of France, and looking at a store mirror, he heads to a barber shop. Afterwards the purse snatcher confronts him but Conan reveals it is a trap. What Genta saw was the reflection of the mirror of the barbershop. The purse snatcher's shirt actually said "SOS" instead of "202". Also, he had a cigarette in his right hand which means he is right handed. The purse snatcher is actually '''Kamiyo Someda''' who changed his hair color at the barber shop. Now the thief is surrounded by cops.

When Conan and Haibara discuss the left-handed right-handed mix-up that occurred during this case, Haibara reveals to Conan that [[Gin]] is left-handed.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Haibara talks about her time in America as a child in this case. She was lonely because she always ate alone after picking her lunch up at the dining hall.<ref name=303p3>[[Volume 30|Volume 30: Files 8 (303), pg 3: "Genta's Misfortune"]]</ref>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Kamen Rider and Kamen Yaiba.jpg|thumb|right|Kamen Yaiba is a parody of Kamen Rider.]]
The name Kamen Yaiba is a combination of a parody of the Tokusatsu tv show Kamen Rider, as well as [[Gosho Aoyama]]'s previous manga and anime ''[[Yaiba]]''. The ''Kamen Rider'' franchise itself has had screenplays done by [[Toshiki Inoue]]. Several ''Detective Conan'' actors have appeared on ''Kamen Rider'', including: [[Tori Matsuzaka]], [[Seizo Kato]], [[Rikiya Koyama]], [[Takanori Jinnai]].

== Trivia ==
* The characters in the series are often compared to those in ''Detective Conan'':
** Kamen Yaiba: [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]]<ref name=ep119>Episode 119</ref><ref name=v23f10>Manga Volume 23, File 10; anime episode 156.</ref>
** Rei Natsume/The Original Kamen Yaiba's love interest: [[Ran Mouri]]<ref name=ep119/>
** The female spy who's betrayed the criminal organization and confessed her love to Kamen Yaiba: [[Ai Haibara]]<ref name=v23f10/>
** Laser Police: [[Law Enforcement]]
** Jocker's boss: [[The Boss]]<ref name=v92f7>Manga Volume 92, File 7; anime episode 895.</ref>
** Second-in-command of the boss: [[Rum]]<ref name=v92f7/>
** The evil organization Jocker: [[Black Organization]]
* Kamen Yaiba is the cell phone background of Mitsuhiko's phone in [[Emergency Situation 252]].
* He's been referred to as [[Samurai Kid]] since around volume 30 of the English translation of the manga, which is what the translation used to call Yaiba whenever elements of that series made a cameo. This is an obvious translation error; they have similar names.

'''{{nihongo|Masaaki Okakura|岡倉政明<ref>In the police report, it is written "正明".</ref>|Okakura Masaaki}}''' is a minor [[Black Organization]] member who appears only in [[The Raven Chaser]].

== Background ==
[[File:M13-memory card.jpg|thumb|left|His memory card.]]
Masaaki Okakura is a minor [[Black Organization]] agent, disguised as a parliamentary secretary, very suitable for a NOC sent by the organization to inquire about senior government officials information. His position is not low working undercover as a civilian, but it is not enough to have a codename.<ref>This fact has not been revealed in the movie.</ref> He lives in East Tokorozawa, Wada Ward fourth district 19-7, Saitama Prefecture.<ref name=notebook>His address is clearly recorded inside the culprit's organizer, last note on the first page.</ref><ref>''The Raven Chaser'' novelized book, page 7.</ref>

He carried a memory card containing their entire NOC list, perhaps seeking some sort of insurance as speculated by [[Vermouth]]. The organization had grasped the fact and planned to get rid of him shortly. However, after being attacked with a stun gun and kidnapped, he was first stabbed to death with a large knife in Ikoi Forest from Nerima Ward, West Ooizumi in Tokyo, by Kazuki Honjou, a certified public accountant in Chiba, for a really foolish personal revenge entirely unrelated to the organization.

On the night of Tanabata two years ago, during a huge fire in Kyoto caused by a lit cigarette that belonged to a guest on the fifth floor, the business Hotel Vega only elevator's capacity was limited to seven people, but eight guests on the sixth floor needed to escape. Apart from Masaaki, the other seven were: Shuhei Jinno, a Tohto University assistant professor from Matsumoto; Shizuko Kaga, a restaurant landlady in Kamakura; Azusa Kitajima, an IT company temporary staff in Kawasaki; Kozo Zaitsu, a bike shop owner in Numazu; Tsutomu Ryuzaki, an estate entrepreneur in Ogawara; Sumire Shindo, an abstract painter in Hachioji; and Nanako Honjou, a childminder in Mitaka. The eighth person, who was his eventual murderer's kind younger sister, voluntarily stepped out from the elevator when Jinno got on and the buzzer sounded, and died in place of those seven people due smoke inhalation as another guest, after being unable to escape the flames because the emergency staircase was unusable.
[[File:M13-omamori.jpg|thumb|right|His omamori bag.]]
In order to frame the freeter Kosuke Mizutani, his sister's kind boyfriend, as the presumed murderer, because he cannot forgive him for running away from Chiba with her, the serial killer has unknowingly made off with his third victim's purple [[Wikipedia: Amulet#China and Japan|amulet bag]], one among the accessories often carried with the memory card. The [[The Boss|boss]] orders [[Irish]] to retrieve it before the police catch the culprit and look into the database. [[Gin]] has [[Chianti]] kill Irish and destroy the memory card, that for [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] could just be the one single trump card that crushes them, with a single shot.

== Personality ==
Unlike most Black Organization members, Masaaki doesn't seem to be a very cruel person and he also has a thick side in obligation. Last year, on the first anniversary of her death, to express Nanako his gratitude for allowing him to board the elevator, he brought anonymously one flowers bouquet to her parents and elder brother on the memorial service day, just like the other six guests on the day of the funeral or then.

== Appearance ==
He had the same large stature of Irish.

[[File:M3-Kazuki Honjo.jpg|thumb|right|His murderer.]]
The vicious serial killer Kazuki Honjou murdered Masaaki for merely self-satisfaction, blaming him to take up a space in the final elevator that was able to escape the fire that killed his beloved younger sister Nanako, obsessively fond of her, and using even the word courage as an excuse to kill people. He found out the whole story of how Nanako died a year ago, the day when he heard from Mizutani that Sumire Shindo, the artist, was staying in the same hotel on the same floor, and went to her personal new art exhibition to ask some questions. At that time, he happened to overhear Sumire and Ryuzaki talking, and lied to Mizutani that Nanako was chased out of the elevator because he was hoping this guy would be the one taking revenge on Masaaki. But Mizutani didn't have the cold heart to do so, that's why he had to do it himself. He didn't turn himself in, so was defeated by Conan and Irish. According to Mizutani, he'll get a death sentence for that murder, so the Black Organization decided to not kill his parents and let the police take care of him.

'''{{nihongo|Masaaki Okakura|岡倉政明<ref>In the police report, it is written "正明".</ref>|Okakura Masaaki}}''' is a minor [[Black Organization]] member who appears only in [[The Raven Chaser]].

== Background ==
[[File:M13-memory card.jpg|thumb|left|His memory card.]]
Masaaki Okakura is a minor [[Black Organization]] agent, disguised as a parliamentary secretary, very suitable for a NOC sent by the organization to inquire about senior government officials information. His position is not low working undercover as a civilian, but it is not enough to have a codename.<ref>This fact has not been revealed in the movie.</ref> He lives in East Tokorozawa, Wada Ward fourth district 19-7, Saitama Prefecture.<ref name=notebook>His address is clearly recorded inside the culprit's organizer, last note on the first page.</ref><ref>''The Raven Chaser'' novelized book, page 7.</ref>

He carried a memory card containing their entire NOC list, perhaps seeking some sort of insurance as speculated by [[Vermouth]]. The organization had grasped the fact and planned to get rid of him shortly. However, after being attacked with a stun gun and kidnapped, he was first stabbed to death with a large knife in Ikoi Forest from Nerima Ward, West Ooizumi in Tokyo, by Kazuki Honjou, a certified public accountant in Chiba, for a really foolish personal revenge entirely unrelated to the organization.

On the night of Tanabata two years ago, during a huge fire in Kyoto caused by a lit cigarette that belonged to a guest on the fifth floor, the business Hotel Vega only elevator's capacity was limited to seven people, but eight guests on the sixth floor needed to escape. Apart from Masaaki, the other seven were: Shuhei Jinno, a Tohto University assistant professor from Matsumoto; Shizuko Kaga, a restaurant landlady in Kamakura; Azusa Kitajima, an IT company temporary staff in Kawasaki; Kozo Zaitsu, a bike shop owner in Numazu; Tsutomu Ryuzaki, an estate entrepreneur in Ogawara; Sumire Shindo, an abstract painter in Hachioji; and Nanako Honjou, a childminder in Mitaka. The eighth person, who was his eventual murderer's kind younger sister, voluntarily stepped out from the elevator when Jinno got on and the buzzer sounded, and died in place of those seven people due smoke inhalation as another guest, after being unable to escape the flames because the emergency staircase was unusable.
[[File:M13-omamori.jpg|thumb|right|His omamori bag.]]
In order to frame the freeter Kosuke Mizutani, his sister's kind boyfriend, as the presumed murderer, because he cannot forgive him for running away from Chiba with her, the serial killer has unknowingly made off with his third victim's purple [[Wikipedia: Amulet#China and Japan|amulet bag]], one among the accessories often carried with the memory card. The [[The Boss|boss]] orders [[Irish]] to retrieve it before the police catch the culprit and look into the database. [[Gin]] has [[Chianti]] kill Irish and destroy the memory card, that for [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] could just be the one single trump card that crushes them, with a single shot.

== Personality ==
Unlike most Black Organization members, Masaaki doesn't seem to be a very cruel person and he also has a thick side in obligation. Last year, on the first anniversary of her death, to express Nanako his gratitude for allowing him to board the elevator, he brought anonymously one flowers bouquet to her parents and elder brother on the memorial service day, just like the other six guests on the day of the funeral or then.

=== Situation ===
A routine afternoon at the library turns into the hunt for a corpse after an attendant turns up missing. When Conan and the Detective Boys try to solve the mystery by staying after-hours, they find themselves trapped, in the dark, and not alone. Will they catch the killer before he catches them?

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>'''Shuji Tsugawa''' is the culprit and he hid the corpse above the elevator. Tamada discovered the illegal drugs hidden inside the fake books which means Tsugawa is a drug dealer and that's why Tsugawa killed him to keep him quiet.

After finishing the case, Conan walked back with the Detective Boys, thinking that should be his final case in Conan's form, as he will be drinking Paikaru afterward and turning back to Shinichi Kudo permanently. However, a second round of Paikaru didn't work for him, and the next day Conan appeared to be hung over in front of the Detective Boys.</spoiler>

== Translation changes ==
=== Anime ===

:* Shuji Tsugawa - Sherman Tuttlebore
:* Kazuo Tamada - Kyle Gearsbeck

==Remastered version==
* A remastered version of this case was aired on March 15, 2014.

== Trivia ==
* The inspector that appears during Megure's questioning of Tsugawa has [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]]'s earlier character design but he wasn't voiced by [[Wataru Takagi (voice actor)|Wataru Takagi]]. He was voiced by [[Isshin Chiba]] who later would go on to inspire the creation of and provide the voice for [[Kazunobu Chiba]].
* Kazuo Tamada's character design is re-used for [[Masaaki Okakura]] in [[The Raven Chaser]].
