=== Situation ===
==== Part 1 ====
Ran sends a message to Shinichi's phone only to find Conan's phone has also received the message causing her to suspect Conan of being Shinichi. A woman named Tomoko Kariya hires Kogoro to search for her cellphone which contains messages of her affair. She attempted to call her phone and someone always hangs it up. She suspects that her either her father-in-law, brother-in-law, or husband has her phone. After questioning the three, Tomoko shows up with her phone, saying that she has found it on her own and sends Kogoro away promising to pay for his time. While heading home, Conan learns from the news that Tomoko was found dead in her car after being stabbed and bludgeoned.

| description = Was stabbed and then killed by a blow to the head, same as a case twelve years earlier.
}}

Kogoro, Ran, and Conan return to the Kariya home with the police to investigate. The three have established alibis: The father was heard behind the shōji, the brother's shadow was seen by the shōji, and the husband's pipe smoking was smelt. After ruling out the man having an affair with Tomoko, the police's investigation leads them to believe the case is somehow related to a murder twelve years ago which was done by Eisuke Kariya, the third family son who disappeared after being suspected for the murder of his fiancé.
The man, who Tomoko had an affair with, turns out to have an alibi.
Strange things had been happening in the house lately. An old friend of Eisuke had called Tomoko, to ask about phone calls he has been getting from her cellphone.
With Conan's help the police concluded that the thief, who took the phone, must have been someone who wouldn't be disturb for a long time, which is needed to figure out the password to the phone.

}}

The maids reveal that 12 years ago, Eisuke called the family, asking to let Motoka stay for the night, since she miss her train, but his father Daisaku began yell at Motoka in the phone, accusing her of being unfaithful. No one knows how he found out about it, but Daisaku is very strict about infidelity, because his wife had been unfaithful to him, which resulted in a divorce.
The maids tells the police that Tsugutaka gets really upset about the doorbell pranks and of phone call prank, but strangely there is no call in the log. That get Conan thinking. He asks Ran if she had send a message. When Ran, in suspicious mode, says yes, Conan asks if she check the number before sending it. Ran says that she didn't need to check, since she was just resending the message she send this morning, but as she takes out her phone to and realize that she actually send a message to a completely different address, and Conan realize how Tomoko was able to find her phone.
Conan reveals that the person who has the cellphone is obviously inexperienced with one. Since cellphones weren't popularized until a decade ago, the one who had the phone is Eisuke. Conan reveals that one of the three is hiding Eisuke.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The police rule out the father and husband leaving '''Shigehide Kariya''', the brother-in-law, as their suspect. Conan points to the fact that Shigehide's books were old fashion and lacked cellphones raising the possibility that Eisuke is the one writing the novels for him. Eisuke reveals himself and confesses to stabbing his fiancée twelve years ago after learning of her affair. The police reveal that the fiancée was also bludgeoned to death, meaning Shigehide finished her off. Shigehide was the one who Mokota was having an affair with. And since the affair took place in the family, it was discovered by Daisaku, who never leaves the house. Shigehide demands evidence, but Ran has an ace in hole. When they were at the house earlier Tomoko had borrowed Ran's cellphone. She found her own phone by sending a message to herself instead of calling. And Eisuke didn't know how to turn off the sound, so Tomoko managed to find the phone and ''him''. So when Ran tried to resend her message to Shinichi she ended up resend Tomoko's message to her own phone, since it was the most recent message on the phone, more recent than Ran's message to Shinichi, and Ran didn't look before pressing 'Send'. With that Ran manages to lead the police to Tomoko's phone that Shigehide had hidden in his room. After finding Tomoko's phone and the knife used in the crime, they have the evidence to the murder. The wife had made her ringtone for incoming calls sound like the house phone and made the ringtone for incoming message sound like the door bell, so she could hide the calls and messages she was getting from her lover. That was the reason behind those 'door bell pranks' and 'phone call pranks' in the house. Whenever her phone rang or got a message, the house maids would think it was really the door bell or the house phone. Shigehide confesses and reveals that twelve years ago, he was having an affair with Eisuke's fiancée and bludgeoned her when she told him she only intended to marry one of them for the money. As for Tomoko, she discovered Eisuke when she found her phone and used that information to blackmail Shigehide for murder and thus motivated his murder. Later that night, Ran grabs a hold of Conan's phone when he drops it in the car and checks to see the message she sent to Shinichi is there.</spoiler>

== Trivia ==
* Tomoko Kariya's car is a Red 2001 Honda Fit (Honda Jazz) [GD].

== Manga to anime changes ==
* The scene of Ran's imagination of Shinichi and his "secret girlfriend" is changed to avoid sexual content: the manga has Shinchi and the girl sleeping naked in the same bed, while the anime has him goes out to buy a snack while the girl is in the car. Both scenes featuring the girl checking out Shinichi's cellphone. Also, the anime cut out the part at the Temuzu River in which Ran, in bad mood after Kogoro keep repeating the word "cheating", screams at him that it is not cheating because (she and Shinichi) are not married.
* The anime doesn't include a moment during the car ride home in the end of the case, where Ran suggest that maybe Tomoko's husband had known about his wife having an affair, since he always got in a bad mood, whenever those 'pranks' happened.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called '''{{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]]''.

His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity.<ref>[http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/171213/ent1712130011-n1.html 名探偵コナン「あの方」の正体ついに明かされる　作者の青山剛昌氏「皆びっくりする」]</ref> Before this revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who was the boss.

== Background ==
Renya Karasuma was born toward the end of the Edo period. He 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 in the world. 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 over 100 years old between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under quite mysterious circumstances. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited the [[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>

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Renya Karasuma Silhouette 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|His silhouette.]]
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, 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 visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s drug to manipulate one's memories for having complete control of the world, Haibara visualizes the boss as a black figure clutching a globe.

=== A criminal wasn't made in a day (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal 4#File 020: A criminal (Hannin) wasn't made in a day|20]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Hanzawa-san]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette, his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP942 Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi/Conan vs. Renya Karasuma]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

|}

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called '''{{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]]''.

His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity.<ref>[http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/171213/ent1712130011-n1.html 名探偵コナン「あの方」の正体ついに明かされる　作者の青山剛昌氏「皆びっくりする」]</ref> Before this revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who was the boss.

== Background ==
Renya Karasuma was born toward the end of the Edo period. He 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 in the world. 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 over 100 years old between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under quite mysterious circumstances. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited the [[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>

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Renya Karasuma Silhouette 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|His silhouette.]]
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, 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 visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP942 Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi/Conan vs. Renya Karasuma]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

|}

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called '''{{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]]''.

His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity.<ref>[http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/171213/ent1712130011-n1.html 名探偵コナン「あの方」の正体ついに明かされる　作者の青山剛昌氏「皆びっくりする」]</ref> Before this revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who was the boss.

== Background ==
Renya Karasuma was born toward the end of the Edo period. He 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 in the world. 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 over 100 years old between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under quite mysterious circumstances. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited the [[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>

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Renya Karasuma Silhouette 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|His silhouette.]]
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, 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 visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s drug to manipulate one's memories for having complete control of the world, Haibara visualizes the boss as a black figure clutching a globe.

=== A criminal wasn't made in a day (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal 4#File 020: A criminal (Hannin) wasn't made in a day|20]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Hanzawa-san]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette, his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP942 Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi/Conan vs. Renya Karasuma.]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

|}

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called '''{{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]]''.

His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity.<ref>[http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/171213/ent1712130011-n1.html 名探偵コナン「あの方」の正体ついに明かされる　作者の青山剛昌氏「皆びっくりする」]</ref> Before this revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who was the boss.

== Background ==
Renya Karasuma was born toward the end of the Edo period. He 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 in the world. 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 over 100 years old between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under quite mysterious circumstances. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited the [[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>

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Renya Karasuma Silhouette 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|His silhouette.]]
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, 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 visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s drug to manipulate one's memories for having complete control of the world, Haibara visualizes the boss as a black figure clutching a globe.

=== A criminal wasn't made in a day (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal 4#File 020: A criminal (Hannin) wasn't made in a day|20]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Hanzawa-san]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette, his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:EP942 Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi/Conan against Renya Karasuma.]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called '''{{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]]''.

His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity.<ref>[http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/171213/ent1712130011-n1.html 名探偵コナン「あの方」の正体ついに明かされる　作者の青山剛昌氏「皆びっくりする」]</ref> Before this revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who was the boss.

== Background ==
Renya Karasuma was born toward the end of the Edo period. He 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 in the world. 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 over 100 years old between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under quite mysterious circumstances. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited the [[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>

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Renya Karasuma Silhouette 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|His silhouette.]]
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, 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 visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s drug to manipulate one's memories for having complete control of the world, Haibara visualizes the boss as a black figure clutching a globe.

=== A criminal wasn't made in a day (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal 4#File 020: A criminal (Hannin) wasn't made in a day|20]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Hanzawa-san]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette, his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:Ep942 Karasuma.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi/Conan against Renya Karasuma.]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called '''{{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]]''.

His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity.<ref>[http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/171213/ent1712130011-n1.html 名探偵コナン「あの方」の正体ついに明かされる　作者の青山剛昌氏「皆びっくりする」]</ref> Before this revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who was the boss.

== Background ==
Renya Karasuma was born toward the end of the Edo period. He 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 in the world. 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 over 100 years old between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under quite mysterious circumstances. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited the [[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>

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Renya Karasuma Silhouette 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|His silhouette.]]
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, 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 visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s drug to manipulate one's memories for having complete control of the world, Haibara visualizes the boss as a black figure clutching a globe.

=== A criminal wasn't made in a day (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal 4#File 020: A criminal (Hannin) wasn't made in a day|20]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Hanzawa-san]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette, his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called '''{{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]]''.

His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity.<ref>[http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/171213/ent1712130011-n1.html 名探偵コナン「あの方」の正体ついに明かされる　作者の青山剛昌氏「皆びっくりする」]</ref> Before this revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who was the boss.

== Background ==
Renya Karasuma was born toward the end of the Edo period. He 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 in the world. 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 over 100 years old between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under quite mysterious circumstances. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited the [[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>

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Renya Karasuma Silhouette 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, 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 visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s drug to manipulate one's memories for having complete control of the world, Haibara visualizes the boss as a black figure clutching a globe.

=== A criminal wasn't made in a day (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal 4#File 020: A criminal (Hannin) wasn't made in a day|20]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Hanzawa-san]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette, his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

|}

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Renya Karasuma Silhouette 2.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, 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 visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s drug to manipulate one's memories for having complete control of the world, Haibara visualizes the boss as a black figure clutching a globe.

=== A criminal wasn't made in a day (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal 4#File 020: A criminal (Hannin) wasn't made in a day|20]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Hanzawa-san]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette, his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

|}

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called '''{{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]]''.

His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity.<ref>[http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/171213/ent1712130011-n1.html 名探偵コナン「あの方」の正体ついに明かされる　作者の青山剛昌氏「皆びっくりする」]</ref> Before this revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who was the boss.

== Background ==
Renya Karasuma was born toward the end of the Edo period. He 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 in the world. 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 over 100 years old between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under quite mysterious circumstances. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited the [[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:

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, 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 visualizes the boss as a big [["The Criminal"|black figure]] behind [[Gin]], [[Vodka]], and Vermouth, with evil aura in the anime version to distinguish him from all the other minor criminals.

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===
When she reveals to Conan the organization's plan to use [[Generic]]'s drug to manipulate one's memories for having complete control of the world, Haibara visualizes the boss as a black figure clutching a globe.

=== A criminal wasn't made in a day (Hanzawa the Criminal: [[Hanzawa the Criminal 4#File 020: A criminal (Hannin) wasn't made in a day|20]], Anime: TBD) ===
[[Hanzawa-san]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette, his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder.

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

|}

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

{{nihongo|'''Renya Karasuma'''|烏丸蓮耶|Karasuma Ren'ya}} is the mysterious head behind the [[Black Organization]], who is respectfully called '''{{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]]''.

His name has been a long-kept secret for most of the series, but on December 13, 2017, [[Gosho Aoyama]] finally revealed his identity.<ref>[http://www.sankei.com/entertainments/news/171213/ent1712130011-n1.html 名探偵コナン「あの方」の正体ついに明かされる　作者の青山剛昌氏「皆びっくりする」]</ref> Before this revelation, only [[Minami Takayama]], the [[Kobun Shizuno|director]] and the producer of the anime staff in [[The Darkest Nightmare]] knew who was the boss.

== Background ==
Renya Karasuma was born toward the end of the Edo period. He 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 in the world. 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 over 100 years old between forty and twenty years prior to the current timeline, during the Showa period, under quite mysterious circumstances. During his lifetime, he had collected over three hundred pieces of antique priceless art. When his mother had died, he inherited the [[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>

Forty years ago, he had found a clue leading to a vast fortune left by his mother and supposedly hidden in that 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. After his supposed death, the [[Karasuma family]] had died out, 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 the house.

He founded the shady [[Karasuma Group]], a big company in Shinjuku that pay well as a sponsor but there are a lot of bad rumors going around about them, so directs illegal activities and plans crimes to protect and advance interests of those [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] calls "the [[Black Organization]]" as well. While mysteriously operating behind the scenes, he communicates with his men only through text messages. His phone number, encoded as the famous children song [[Nanatsu no Ko]], is #969#6261. He is responsible for promoting agents deem worthy and deciding on their alcoholic codenames, but he doesn't have one of his own because he is no ordinary member.

== Personality ==
Though not much is known about his personality, Renya Karasuma is described by the famous detective Furuyo Senma, who hasn't ever met him<ref name=black/>, as a greedy, corrupt, cruel and impatient man. He appears to be materialistic as he was driven by his own greed while searching for the hidden treasure inside the 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 manipulative, he is fairly ruthless, willing to dispatch senior agents who have been extremely loyal to him 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. Somehow, he can maintain loyalty and unity within the organization, despite many members disliking or even outright wishing to murder certain others. The [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|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 [[Shuichi Akai]] could become a [[Silver Bullet]], someone who is especially dangerous to the entire organization. Unless he brought Conan back alive, [[Irish]] thought his true identity is something the boss would find hard to believe.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Renya Karasuma Silhouette.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
Renya Karasuma is a crow-like man who 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. 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]]) ===
The world greatest detectives were invited to an old mansion covered in blood in the isolated mountains of Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture. [[Saguru Hakuba]] had long heard of the blood-chilling tragedy only in frightened whispers. The host told that this huge mansion belonged to Renya Karasuma and that there is a treasure hidden inside. That name seems to trigger the guests attention.

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 peels off the entire outer walls of the building, revealing solid gold underneath. Only Karasuma could do something on such a scale, and it must be worth a hundred billion yen.

[[Kaitou Kid]] had come for Karasuma's treasure, but it was too big for him to carry away. Shukuzen Ogami, who wanted to kill all the others once the treasure was found, and Furuyo Senma, who killed him and almost created another same tragedy to decipher that riddle, were all along possessed by Renya Karasuma.

=== Stradivarius Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Stradivarius Murder Case|470]], Anime: [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius|385]]) ===

=== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 46#Suspicious Cellphone Case|479]], Anime: [[The Strange Family's Request|398]]) ===
Conan visualizes the boss as a black figure 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: [[Search for Maria-chan!|942]]) ===
[[Yusaku Kudo]] and [[Subaru Okiya]] have reached 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 and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Conan visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette before Gin, Vodka, naked Vermouth, [[Chianti]], and [[Korn]], his crest and the pet crow on his left shoulder. That's why [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s parents decided to stay in Japan and think of a plan, just what Conan wanted.

=== 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, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes Renya Karasuma as a silhouette behind her parents, the pet crow on his left shoulder and that medicine.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
[[File:BossBlackshadow5.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The boss' terrifying ambition.]]
=== The Black Organization...Revealed (Special Manga: [[Special Volume 26#The Black Organization...Revealed|294]], Anime: TBD) ===

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

==== Gin ====
He trusts [[Gin]] enough to make him an executive agent and the third-in-command in the organization, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking members. Gin follows the boss' orders closely and virtually never acts against the organization's greater interests, and in return the boss entrusts Gin to direct critical missions and key assassinations. The boss 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 Gin takes full responsibility for his partner in the general oversight division.

==== Vermouth ====
[[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 hate, mistrust, and wish 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 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. 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. During a Halloween party, he discovered that Vermouth was up to something without the organization's knowledge, so he ordered Gin and Vodka to investigate. Aboard the ship, a man that Vermouth blackmailed to murder a director began screaming someone called Vermouth was to blame. Later on, he sends a text message to Vermouth's cellphone: "It looks like I have given you too much freedom. Come back to my side, Vermouth." Conan forced Vermouth to surrender and take him to find the boss, but failed. [[Jodie Starling]] hopes to capture Vermouth, who could lead the FBI to the elusive boss.

==== Chianti ====
[[Chianti]] fears him and, being a direct order from him, she must also work with Vermouth. In order to avenge [[Calvados]]' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't his favorite, but swears she'll definitely kill her. She proves to be envious for what Kir has used to make him let her join their four years ago.

==== 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 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. However, his assassinate plot was averted by the combined efforts of the FBI and Conan. The injured Kir was then captured by the FBI and was hospitalized in Haido Central Hospital for weeks. After the organization easily retrieved Kir from the FBI, Gin became suspicious of how ineffective the FBI's plan was and that Shuichi Akai did not make 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]] becomes a suspect in a coincidental murder case. The 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. Conan, Akai, and Kir conspired to fake that death.

==== Bourbon ====
He dispatches [[Bourbon]] to search for the escaped scientist Sherry. 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, with the indirect support of the [[National Police Agency|NPA]], Rei has been persevering to turn in Shuichi to the organization to earn higher ranks to approach more closely to him.

==== Sherry ====
He orders the execution of [[Shiho Miyano]] after she boycotted the development of APTX 4869 and rebelled against the organization. Before she could be even executed, Sherry manages to escape and he ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her. Conan later uncovers his phone number, but [[Ai Haibara]] warns him of the danger of calling it, likening it to [[Wikipedia: Pandora's Box|Pandora's Box]]. Of course she knows all this from the start: the email address and the person behind it.

==== Miyano family ====
Twenty-five years ago, he wanted to buy the [[Shirohato Pharmaceuticals‎‎|pharmaceutical company]] where [[Atsushi Miyano]] worked as part of a drug development team, but it went badly and that company was suddenly shut down. During the time Atsushi and his wife [[Elena Miyano|Elena]] were running their private clinic, they received invitations from him many times, but Atsushi had always refused his offer. However, as nineteen years ago they went to his group's lab after all, he sponsored their research to make APTX 4869. A plan that was intended to create an acceptable reason to eliminate their eldest daughter [[Akemi Miyano|Akemi]] backfired badly when her ability was underestimated. As a consequence, their second daughter Shiho, the lead researcher for that project, ultimately defected and escaped.

==== Pisco ====
[[Pisco]] is a big auto manufacturer chairman who had served him for many years. Gin relayed his orders to Pisco, and that discussion revealed to Conan his existence: silence Shigehiko Nomiguchi, a politician who was going to be arrested for bribery, and use APTX 4869 if it was necessary. Pisco successfully assassinated the target, but he was accidentally caught on camera in the act of murder, showing him holding his gun in the newspaper. As Conan before, he notices it. Fearing that Pisco may expose the existence and goals of the organization to the public, he direct ordered Gin to kill Pisco and burn to the ground his house, which the latter does even though Pisco knew where Sherry is.

==== Rikumichi Kusuda ====
For assurance, 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 continues to write to his e-mail address every day, until he was cornered to death by Shuichi Akai.

==== Irish ====
He orders [[Irish]] to infiltrate into the police and retrieve a memory card with the personal information of all their agents that have infiltrated various organizations, before the police catch the serial killer, who took it from their agent [[Masaaki Okakura]] he murdered before them 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 soon gives [[Generic]] orders to leave Sherry in her experiments and start on his own experiment of a drug to control memory. He is trying to use that drug to control the memories of all the important people around the world, such as to let the president of US think that he is one of the organization's member, then the whole world will be under his power. However, Generic too runs away from the organization.

=== Others ===
==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]], now [[Conan Edogawa]], is the arch-enemy of his organization, who wishes to uncover him and cause their destruction, all for the sake of returning to his original form. He is indirectly responsible for Shinichi's whole life-threatening situation. Such an extremely dangerous man, far worse than everyone other in the organization, he is a diabolical presence that chilled the boy to the bone. From now on, until this comes to a close, Conan and his associates are in a do-or-die situation.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Capturing a high ranking member of the 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 organization's silver bullet, the threat whom he fears the most, and is more like Vermouth than Gin.

|}

== 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 half a 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 person already appeared in the story, just like Shinichi.

== Name origin ==
"Karasuma" is literally "crow circle", as his crest, and is based on [[Wikipedia: Karasuma Street|Karasuma Avenue]] in Kyoto. It is a very unusual surname that can also be translated "Karasumaru", just like the noble [[Wikipedia:ja:烏丸家|Karasumaru family]].

"Renya" is a name also used for women, written with the kanji 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 head.<ref>Aoyama's latest interview for NHK (2017)</ref> Just like Moriarty, he 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's big painting in his manor's dining room is a replica of Lucas de Heere's ''[[Wikipedia: The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon|The Queen of Sheba visits King Solomon]]'', but with an inverted orientation. It is exactly like the story of [[Wikipedia: Solomon|King Solomon]], the wisest but then corrupt monarch in the Old Testament: Renya Karasuma was the richest and most powerful man in all of modern Japan, but he eventually had become like a demon for his own personal profit.
* 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 the hero's archnemesis is just like the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.

She tried to kill the Detective Boys but Conan came. He explained that she was called B because of her name "Hachi" that could also be translated as "8" and sounds like "bee" in Japanese language. She threatened Conan without her knowing that the police officers were listening to them and B was arrrested as well as the president. The detective held as hostage was later saved.</spoiler>

Conan and the Detective Boys run into Naeko Miike and Yumi Miyamoto, who were talking about Yumi's ex-boyfriend.
Naeko Miike shortly receives a call from her acquaintance, Sakurako Yonehara, about a dead body. When the police arrive on the scene, the case seems to be a suicide, but Conan points out that the ripped-out suicide note does not match the ripped page of the victim's notebook. Also, the note is signed with the victim's full name, while all of her other notes were signed with only her first name. Thus, the case develops into a possible murder. And among the suspects is Yumi's ex-boyfriend Shukichi Haneda, who lives next door to the crime scene, because he know the code to the mail box where a spare keys is kept.

Conan pieces all the clues together: the suicide note with somewhat strange contents, Shukichi Haneda mentioning a "well-prepared move", same phone models of all the family members, the trick behind the bedroom door closing upon Sakurako and the victim's husband entering the room, and the victim's phone on the floor.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>The culprit is '''Naganobu Itami'''. Because his wife was addicted to high stakes stock playing to where she put their condo as collateral. He was exposed because he used a public pay phone to call his cell, which had a changed phone cover to match his wife's, so it would play into his trick.
The note was in the victim's handwriting, but it was four years old from an incident, an almost fly crash, where she almost died, so it wasn't a suidice note, but a farewell note to her family. The handwriting was shaken because the plane almost crash. She wrote her full name, so the authorities would know who wrote it and pass it on to her family. The note mentioned things, like that her niece could borrow a kimono to a seven-five-three celebration, but the niece who is now seven, was three four years ago. The note also mention a 'injurie' the victim caused her husband, and while the husband claimed it was a bruise to his face, the son revealed that four years ago just before the fly crash the victim accidentally broke her husband's foot. And as for the mention in the note of her son to study hard for his exam, it wasn't the drivers test she meant, but the test to get into the university four years ago. The husband came across the note by accident and after the argument, where he was hit it the face, he decided to use the circumstances to kill his wife, so it would match the note and the police would believe it to be a suicide note and close the case as a suicide.</spoiler>

She tried to kill the Detective Boys but Conan came. He explained that she was called B because of her name "Hachi" that could also be translated as "8" and sounds like "bee" in Japanese language. She threatened Conan without her knowing that the police officers were listening to them and B was arrrested as well as the president. The detective held as hostage was later saved.</spoiler>

She tried to kill the Detective Boys but Conan came. He explained that she was called B because of her name "Hachi" that could also be translated as "8" and sounds like "bee" in Japanese language. She threatened Conan without her knowing that the police officers were listening to them and B was arrrested as well as the president. The detective held as hostage was later saved.</spoiler>
