== Case ==
=== Situation ===
Mysterious assassinations have been happening around the world. The suspect is a spy accessing classified files. In Japan, this woman breaks into Tokyo police headquarters and accesses secret files on spies planted in the [[Black Organization]] by many intelligence agencies: the English MI6, the Canadian CSIS, the German BND, and the American [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] and [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]]. Before this spy can steal the files, [[Rei Furuya]] arrives with a cadre of his [[Public Security Bureau|secret police officers]]. The spy makes a getaway in a stolen car, but Rei soon catches up in his [[Cars#Rei.27s Mazda RX-7|Mazda FD RX-7]]. The two jockey for position on the highway and are about to cause a huge wreck. Before they can crash, [[Shuichi Akai]] snipes the spy's car from the hood of [[Cars#Akai.27s Ford Mustang|his red and white striped Ford Mustang]]. The spy's car tumbles off the highway and explodes.

The next day, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], and the [[Detective Boys]] meet up at the newly renovated "Tohto Aquarium". Under the centerpiece of the park, a massive ferris wheel, they find an injured woman with heterochromia. The woman is suffering memory loss, she doesn't know her own name and even her cellphone is broken. Conan and his friends decide to stay together with her and help her to recover her lost memory. Unknown to Conan and his friends, [[Vermouth]] had been lurking nearby with a silenced pistol and had overheard everything. She pulls back and contacts [[Gin]]. The woman in question is in fact a new member of the Black Organization.

* The film grossed over 6.33 billion Yen, breaking the previous record held by [[Sunflowers of Inferno]] and was the highest grossing film of the franchise until [[The Crimson Love Letter]] broke its record.
* This is the first movie to feature [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] agent [[Hidemi Hondou]], as well as [[Public Security Bureau]] agent [[Rei Furuya]].
* The helicopter seen at the movie's climax is a [[Wikipedia: Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey|Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey]]. This American military aircraft is unique for having tiltrotors: rotors which move between a vertical position like a helicopter and a horizontal position like a turboprop plane. The V-22 can take off vertically and hover, but also cruise long range at high speed. At the time this film was released, no V-22 Ospreys have been delivered to non-US countries, although Japan's parliament approved a defense budget in January 2015 with funding for five V-22s which will be delivered by 2018. Between 2012 and 2014, between 6 and 24 of the Marine Variant MV-22 Ospreys were deployed at American Marine Corps Air Station Futenma in Okinawa. Incidentally the V-22 has acquired notoriety for crashing, which prompted protests by Okinawans who doubted its airworthiness.
:There are two routes the Black Organization might have used to obtain a V-22. One is to steal one from an American military base in Japan. The other is to have secretly infiltrated a military base in the United States where damaged, defective, or decommissioned V-22s are stored, disassembled one (or parts of several), and removed it while creating a false paper trail that it had been decommissioned and cannibalized for parts.
* [[Setting#Danny's|Restaurant Danny's Dinning]] reappears in this movie.
* James Black's vehicle in this film was changed to Two Tone White Mercedes-Benz CLS (C 219).
* Curaçao stolen car drive in Dark Blue 1980 Toyota Mark II [X60]. The license plate number is 新宿 500, め 32-60 (Shinjuku 500, Me 32-60).
* Rei Furuya fight Curaçao car is a White 1991 Mazda RX-7 Spirit R Type-A. Shuichi Akai car shoot Curaçao car is a Race Red 2007 Ford Shelby GT500 SVT [S197].
* This film is dedicated to [[Masahito Yoshioka]], the real-life chief producer of Detective Conan between 1996 and 2011 from [[TMS Entertainment|Tokyo Movie Shinsa]], who died on January 14, 2016. A title card reads "In memory of Masahito Yoshioka" appears during the end credits of the film.
* The three cars in the ending theme are a white Mazda RX-7, a red Ford Shelby GT500 SVT and a 1998 dark blue Toyota Mark II [X100].

A bombing case at Nichiuri TV in autumn. The Satsuki Cup, which crowns the winner of Japan's Hyakunin Isshu, is currently being filmed inside the facility. The incident results in a big commotion and, while the building is burning to ashes, the only people left inside are [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]]. They get rescued just in time by [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], who rushes to the scene. Both the identity and purposes of the bomber are unknown.

While confusion takes over due to the explosion, Conan meets a mysterious beautiful girl who claims she is "Heiji's fiancée". Her name is [[Momiji Ooka]] and she is the high school champion of the [[Wikipedia:Uta-garuta|karuta]] game from Kyoto Senshin High School. As fate would have it, Kazuha is going to face Momiji in the Hyakunin Isshu, so she begins to train with the help of Heiji's mother, [[Shizuka Hattori|Shizuka]], who is a skilled karuta player.

<spoiler>'''Koji Sekine''' is somehow related to Yajima's murder. Even though the crime scene looks like a robbery, none of Yajima's karuta-related things were touched. Also, the fatal wound was on the front of the head instead of the back or the side, suggesting that the murderer and the victim knew each other. And, Sekine knew that Yajima was beaten down instead of stabbed or slashed, even though the weapon is a katana and Sekine had no opportunity to look at the corpse.</spoiler>

Later, Ran finds out that Heiji once made a yubikiri/pinkie promise to 'take Momiji as his bride'.

Conan and Heiji, along with the Osaka and Kyoto police departments, begin their investigation on the Satsuki Cup and the related murder case. As the inquiry goes on, they come across a secret connected with the Hyakunin Isshu. They found that the cards that were left at the crime scene and sent by email to victims were all Shikao Nagoro's favorite cards, all of which had 'Momiji' in their poems.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>As Sekine wakes up, it is learned that he heard Yajima had been searching for Nagoro, and decided to surveil Yajima, only to find the latter's corpse.

'''Kensuke Achiwa''' is the mastermind of these crimes, while '''Togo Kaieda''' is the one carrying out the plan. Unbeknownst to the latter, Kensuke planned to kill him as well, in order to make it look like Nagoro accidentally killed himself. Nagoro, who had been missing for five years, had actually been killed by Kensuke's wife '''Satsuki Achiwa''', who was shocked and afraid after losing to Nagoro one day before the scheduled match. Kensuke witnessed the murder of Nagoro, and decided to hide it so that no one knows. The fact that Kensuke didn't wash his car before the match suggests this, as everyone knows that Kensuke always do this every time Satsuki had a match. Yajima also noticed this and want to have evidence - the karuta cards that have fingerprints from a hand stained with Nagoro's blood; that's why he was murdered. Kensuke planned to kill himself along with Momiji and her opponent in the finals, who happens to be Kazuha, at Satsuki Hall, where Nagoro's body is kept hidden.

Before he detonates the bombs, however, Momiji reveals that the reason why Nagoro challenged Satsuki one day before the scheduled match is not to humiliate her, but rather to show her, Nagoro's first love, the full extent of his skills before he lost his sight. The hall then starts to crumble because of the previous explosions. Conan, Kensuke, and Momiji evacuate using the elevator, while Heiji uses his bike to take Kazuha to a nearby ledge.

After the case is solved, it is finally learned that the story between Momiji and Heiji is actually a misunderstanding. Back then, when Heiji defeated Momiji, he said "next time, I'll be even '''stronger''' (tsuyome)", but Momiji misheard it as "yome" (bride). Momiji calls her butler immediately and leaves, but not before finally calling Kazuha by her name and declaring that once she has a favorite card, she won't let anyone take it from her.</spoiler>

== Case ==
=== Situation ===
In a Japanese house in Arashiyama, Kyoto's outskirts, the reigning Satsuki Cup champion is murdered. Several karuta cards were spread around the victim.

A bombing case at Nichiuri TV in autumn. The Satsuki Cup, which crowns the winner of Japan's Hyakunin Isshu, is currently being filmed inside the facility. The incident results in a big commotion and, while the building is burning to ashes, the only people left inside are [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]]. They get rescued just in time by [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], who rushes to the scene. Both the identity and purposes of the bomber are unknown.

}}

While confusion takes over due to the explosion, Conan meets a mysterious beautiful girl who claims she is "Heiji's fiancée". Her name is [[Momiji Ooka]] and she is the high school champion of the [[Wikipedia:Uta-garuta|karuta]] game from Kyoto Senshin High School. As fate would have it, Kazuha is going to face Momiji in the Hyakunin Isshu, so she begins to train with the help of Heiji's mother, [[Shizuka Hattori|Shizuka]], who is a skilled karuta player.

<spoiler>'''Koji Sekine''' is somehow related to Yajima's murder. Even though the crime scene looks like a robbery, none of Yajima's karuta-related things were touched. Also, the fatal wound was on the front of the head instead of the back or the side, suggesting that the murderer and the victim knew each other. And, Sekine knew that Yajima was beaten down instead of stabbed or slashed, even though the weapon is a katana and Sekine had no opportunity to look at the corpse.</spoiler>

Later, Ran finds out that Heiji once made a yubikiri/pinkie promise to 'take Momiji as his bride'.

Conan and Heiji, along with the Osaka and Kyoto police departments, begin their investigation on the Satsuki Cup and the related murder case. As the inquiry goes on, they come across a secret connected with the Hyakunin Isshu. They found that the cards that were left at the crime scene and sent by email to victims were all Shikao Nagoro's favorite cards, all of which had 'Momiji' in their poems.

=== Resolution ===
<spoiler>As Sekine wakes up, it is learned that he heard Yajima had been searching for Nagoro, and decided to surveil Yajima, only to find the latter's corpse.

'''Kensuke Achiwa''' is the mastermind of these crimes, while '''Togo Kaieda''' is the one carrying out the plan. Unbeknownst to the latter, Kensuke planned to kill him as well, in order to make it look like Nagoro accidentally killed himself. Nagoro, who had been missing for five years, had actually been killed by Kensuke's wife '''Satsuki Achiwa''', who was shocked and afraid after losing to Nagoro one day before the scheduled match. Kensuke witnessed the murder of Nagoro, and decided to hide it so that no one knows. The fact that Kensuke didn't wash his car before the match suggests this, as everyone knows that Kensuke always do this every time Satsuki had a match. Yajima also noticed this and want to have evidence - the karuta cards that have fingerprints from a hand stained with Nagoro's blood; that's why he was murdered. Kensuke planned to kill himself along with Momiji and her opponent in the finals, who happens to be Kazuha, at Satsuki Hall, where Nagoro's body is kept hidden.

}}

Before he detonates the bombs, however, Momiji reveals that the reason why Nagoro challenged Satsuki one day before the scheduled match is not to humiliate her, but rather to show her, Nagoro's first love, the full extent of his skills before he lost his sight. The hall then starts to crumble because of the previous explosions. Conan, Kensuke, and Momiji evacuate using the elevator, while Heiji uses his bike to take Kazuha to a nearby ledge.

After the case is solved, it is finally learned that the story between Momiji and Heiji is actually a misunderstanding. Back then, when Heiji defeated Momiji, he said "next time, I'll be even '''stronger''' (tsuyome)", but Momiji misheard it as "yome" (bride). Momiji calls her butler immediately and leaves, but not before finally calling Kazuha by her name and declaring that once she has a favorite card, she won't let anyone take it from her.</spoiler>

'''{{nihongo|Takanori Sewa|瀬羽尊徳|Sewa Takanori}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Although he is only called the landlord in the anime and manga (家主 ''Yanushi'') and in the '''Funimation Dub''', the [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|sixth special]] gives him his current name.

== Background ==
Takanori Sewa is one of the richest men in Beika before he was arrested. He possessed a large mansion which could easily house his family: his wife, Mrs. Sewa, his son, and many other employees including maids and house-workers. He was the CEO of the Sewa Financial Group but his son inherited of the company after his arrest. His mansion is big enough to hold parties, receptions and has a large parking. It also has a meeting room where Takanori met Sonoko and Ran. He likes to buy extravagant furniture and clothes.

== Appearance ==
Being in the 60s, Sewa is practically bald except for a crown of long grey hair around his head. He isn't really tall and is pretty large. He also has an extremely large mustache which color corresponds to his hair's color. He always wear suits accompanied with a bowtie. He has a pretty athletic body since he was able to stop his wheelchair from going backwards and climb high structures like the balcony of Yamazaki's room. He pretended he was handicapped by a broken leg but it was revealed to be fake.

== Personality ==
Takanori is pretty rich and really likes living his extravagant life and earn money. His motive for murder was probably because of financial problems with Yamazaki. He isn't subtle in disguising his stuff since he freaked out when Sonoko told him Shinichi was a detective. He remains serious and has a fake familiar looking style. He is wise enough to fabricate alibis and a murder trick although it was obvious. In the special, he seems to be more pleasant and nice towards people but it might be just tricks to make people believe he is good.

== Plot overview ==
=== Crime at the Private Mansion (Manga: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|File 1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]], Special: [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|6]]) ===
In this case, Sonoko and her friends went home and had visit from Sewa and his wife. A few days later, Shinichi met the landlord again, but this time in a murder case that occured in a party he organized at his mansion. Shinichi investigates the case and Sewa is literally freaking out that Shinichi will find the truth. His crime is unmasked as Shinichi elaborates the different proofs and as Sewa tries to escape, Shinichi takes him down by throwing a globe at him. He is later arrested.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Suzuki family ====
Sewa is in good terms with the [[Suzuki family]] and is pretty close to them since both head of families are rich, although Sonoko brags that they are richer than him. Sonoko sometimes visit Sewa or other members of the family.

==== Mrs. Sewa ====
Sewa is in relatively good terms with his wife since they are always seen together. they seem to have been married for a while but in the manga, it is his wife that is killed and we don't know the motive.

==== Sewa jr. ====
He and his son are also in good terms and Sewa grants him much liberty. He will inherit the company when his father will be convicted.

==== Maid ====
One of the maids is seen in the special. She seems to be loyal towards him since she defended him.

=== Others ===
==== [[Juzo Megure]] ====
He is the one who questionned him and put him on custody.

==== Tetsu Yamazaki ====
Tetsu Yamazaki, age 38, is another CEO of a company and is not as rich as Sewa. They weren't in good terms and he was invited to the party in purpose to be killed, in the manga and in the special. He was killed because he had financial problems towards Sewa.

== Trivia ==
* In episode 1, we can clearly see Sewa as the criminal since the mysterious man who killed Yamazaki was chubby and his gray hair could be seen.
* Sewa can fire a gun easily but it is not shown how he knows.

'''{{nihongo|Heiji Hattori|服部平次|Hattori Heiji}}''', also known as '''Harley Hartwell''' in the Funimation dub, is an Osakan high school detective in the manga and anime series ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is a childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Kazuha Toyama]]. Originally a detective rival to [[Shinichi Kudo]], Heiji has since [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|found out]] [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s true identity and the two often team up to work on cases. He was the first person to ''deduce'' Conan's true identity.

== Background ==
[[File:Cuffed.png|thumb|left|200px|Heiji and Kazuha cuffed together as children.]]
Heiji is a high school detective, and the son of [[Heizo Hattori]], chief of the Osaka Police Department, and his wife [[Shizuka Hattori]]. Heiji wants to be a detective like his father since spending his childhood looking for lost cats in his neighborhood, and he is also very skilled in kendo and has become a favored tournament contender for his school.

At one time during their childhood, Heiji had had the unfortunate idea of locking himself and his friend [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] together with a set of old handcuffs which had no key to unlock it; as a result they involuntarily had to spend time together even on some rather intimate occasions (i.e., bathroom visits) before the cuffs could be removed. As a reminder of this 'closeness' and for good luck, Kazuha fashioned two identical lucky charms, each incorporating a chain link from the cuffs, which she and Heiji have been wearing ever since.<ref name=StabbedWallet>Manga Volume 19: Files 185 (Stabbed Wallet Case)</ref>

In the news, Heiji has been publicly declared the "Great Detective of the West", while [[Shinichi Kudo]] is the "Great Detective of the East". As a result, Heiji showed up unannounced at the Mouri Detective Agency looking for Kudo, seeking to challenge his rival to a showdown of wits. (In fact, they had such a contest before, three years previously, [[Heiji Hattori vs. Shinichi Kudo: Deduction Battle on the Ski Slope|during a skiing trip in the Yamagata prefecture]], although they never learned about each other's identities at that time.<ref>Manga Chapters 518-522: Yuki-Onna Murder Case</ref>) Heiji was soundly defeated in the following case after [[Conan Edogawa]] temporarily turned back into Shinichi, but he gained a lot of respect for Shinichi in the process.<ref>Manga Chapters 092-096: The Great Detective Of The West</ref>

During their second encounter, Conan knocked Heiji out to use him as the mouthpiece for the voice-changing bow-tie. But during his final presentation of the facts, Heiji awoke prematurely and discovered Conan's secret, and in the end managed to blackmail Conan into revealing all.<ref>Manga Chapters 121: The Holmes Freak Case: The Revelation</ref> Ever since that revelation, Heiji has been helping Conan in hiding his secret identity, though he constantly slips up by calling him "Kudo" in front of [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and Kazuha.

Heiji and Conan most often congenially team up to solve assorted cases. Heiji has also helped Conan investigate the [[Black Organization]] on several occasions, such as when the two investigated [[Jodie Starling]],<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=34|publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 2-7|language=English}}</ref> or when Heiji investigated [[Eisuke Hondou]] on his own and then told Conan his findings.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Meitantei Conan|volume=56|chapter=Files 7|language=Japanese}}</ref> He has also helped cover for Conan during several of the brief instances where Conan regained his true adolescent age, and has even disguised himself as Shinichi on several occasions in order to protect his identity, even though he is not very good at it (mostly owing to his distinctive Kansai dialect). When not working on a case, he regularly attempts to invite Conan to take in the sights and culinary delights of Osaka, which he considers more wholesome than Tokyo's.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Even while solving a case, Heiji tends to be lighthearted and good-humored, preferring to work through it with a grin on his face. He is a big fan of baseball, and is most of the time shown wearing an Osaka cap, to support the local Osaka baseball team. He usually wears his cap with its visor pointed backward, but if he feels challenged, he turns the visor forward.

Heiji is known for his pride as an Osaka citizen and for his thick Osakan accent, which has been pointed out and sometimes made fun numerous times. However, Heiji holds his head high and is always one to brag about the greatness of Osaka, especially when Conan comes to visit.

Despite him knowing the value and necessity of remaining calm in the face of a crime, Heiji tends to be impulsive at times, which tends to cloud his judgment a little. This was discussed directly in the "Detective Koushien" case, when [[Saguru Hakuba]] accused Heiji of being a poor detective for disrupting a crime scene in his rush to see if the victim could still be saved. Heiji, however, solved the case in the end, and reminded Saguru that the detective's first job is to prevent death if he can. Heiji is also known to be extremely protective of those he values as close friends, and tries hard to keep them out of harm. There are several instances where Hattori tells Kazuha to wait for him or leaves her behind in order to keep her from being involved in cases, simply because he's afraid of her getting hurt.<ref>Manga Volume 59, File 6, pg 6: Armored Warrior</ref><ref>Manga Volume 59, File 7, pg 11: Art of War</ref><ref name=653p3>Manga Volume 63, File 1, page 3: My Deduction</ref>

Furthermore, he's pretty much always watching Shinichi's back, and does whatever he can to not only keep Shinichi safe, but to keep his identity under cover. However, on one occasion Heiji advised Conan to tell the truth, when Ran had convinced herself that Conan was Shinichi and thus willingly gave him blood after being shot.

Heiji occasionally enjoys teasing Shinichi's kid form. He has fun jokingly (sometimes mistakenly) calling Conan "Kudo" in front of Ran at his friend's expense. He often treats Conan/ Shinichi as a younger brother and their close relationship even evokes Kazuha's jealousy from time to time. In return Conan truly trusts and respects Heiji.

Although he is very competitive when it comes to detective cases, when a case gets hot, he and Shinichi work effectively together. During Shinichi's first return to his high school during the play performance, Heiji had let him take the lead role in the investigations, saying that it was because they were in Tokyo, Shinichi's turf.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Case Closed|volume=26|publisher=Viz Media chapter=Files 1-7|language=English}}</ref>

Although he frequently mocks Kazuha for her superstitions and enthusiasm for good-luck charms, Heiji has several times revealed that he puts more trust in them than he would admit. He once dreamed of Shinichi being murdered, and out subsequently insisted that Conan wear his omamori, the good luck charm Kazuha gave him. The omamori ended up saving Shinichi's life by deflecting a knife blow, but Heiji, without his usual protection, was shot in the stomach.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Meitantei Conan|volume=19|chapter=Files 5-8|language=Japanese}}</ref> In another case, Ran hung a teruterubozu, a charm that's supposed to ensure good weather, in the window so that Conan would have good weather for his field trip the next day. Heiji, however, got up in the middle of the night to take down the teruterubozu so that Conan's field trip would be rained out and he could accompany Heiji on an investigation of the The Red Horse Among The Flames.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Meitantei Conan|volume=39|language=Japanese}}</ref>

== Appearance ==
[[File:vlcsnap-2013-09-20-15h27m58s194.png|thumb|right|200px|Heiji talks about his skin color in movie 7.]]
Heiji has dark brown, spiky hair and dark brown skin which he claims is inherited from his grandfather.<ref>Chapter 278</ref> His eyes are blue in the manga (like every character). Initially, his eyes appeared dark green, but are now blue<ref>Episode 710</ref>. He speaks with a strong Kansai Ben accent, which is typical of the Osaka region. Since Heiji is so strongly accustomed to this accent, his lingual habit can be a disadvantage at times, especially when he has to impersonate someone who uses standard Japanese.<ref>[[Volume 26# School Play Case|Manga Chapter 256: ''Concealed Truth'']]</ref><ref>OVA 06: ''[[Follow the Vanished Diamond! Conan & Heiji vs. Kid!]]''</ref> He has a scar behind the left ear from being hit during an Oyodo competition.

He has also been shown to be popular with girls due to his good looks, position as kendo captain at his high school, and his fame as a high school detective. For example, in episode 263 when several girls tried to flirt with him but he had switched his gear with another team member to make a last minute call to Conan to visit his match. This was shown in Magic File 4: The Osaka Okonomiyaki Killer where several girls came to ask for an autograph and in [[OVA 9]], he was referred to as a lady killer.

== Skills ==
=== Detective skills ===
Heiji's detective skills are same as Shinichi's. Because of his skills, Heiji has acquired his nick name "The Great Detective Of The West". Like Shinichi, he has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to ignore or not take into account and has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to recall every detail of an investigation, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Heiji's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony. However, unlike Shinichi, Heiji seem to be more competitive and hot-blooded while solving a case, which sometimes leads him into making a wrong deduction [[Diplomat Murder Case|i.e. the case in his first appearance.]]

=== Eidetic memory ===
Like the other 'geniuses' of Detective Conan, Heiji has shown himself to have an eidetic memory, capable of remembering complex letter and number sequences at only a glance, such as when he was able to solve a code in his head during the "Heiji and Kazuha in Grave Danger" arc, and even reproduce another message using the same code to text to Conan.

=== Athletic ability ===
As Shinichi is to soccer, so is Heiji to kendo. He's the fifth position, or taisho, and captain of his high school Kendo team. Heiji may disable criminals using an improvised bokken similar to how Shinichi uses his soccer skills.

Heiji is also very nimble. He can jump higher than a bookshelf, and balance perfectly on a katana. This is shown in episode 263 of the anime, when Kotegawa tries to kill him.

=== Others ===
Heiji is also a capable motorcycle rider. He also speaks fluent English. During Episode 291, Heiji has shown to have the ability to deduce a woman's swimsuit without actually looking at it.

== Plot overview ==
=== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10#Great Detective of the_West|92-96]], Anime: [[Diplomat Murder Case|48-49]]) ===
One day, Conan (using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice-Changer Tie]] to imitate [[Shinichi Kudo|his old voice]]) calls [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to tell her once again that he is all right and that he is still stuck with the 'special case' when Ran hangs up on him as someone has just entered the detective agency. Coming home, Conan finds to his surprise that the 'customer' is a youth who keeps demanding to see Shinichi Kudo. He had read of Kogoro solving cases and jumps to the conclusion that he is getting help from Shinichi. When Ran mentions that Shinichi has just called, without asking about Ran's state, the youth deduces that Shinichi must actually be nearby, watching Ran from afar. He then introduces himself as high school detective Heiji Hattori and presents a gift, a bottle of [[baijiu]], of which he gives Conan a swig. Just then, Kimie Tsujimura, the wife of a known diplomat, enters [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s office to ask him to investigate the girlfriend of her son. In order to be inconspicuous, Kogoro takes Ran and Conan along, and Heiji, hoping to flush out Shinichi, tags along as well. What is originally meant to be a simple investigation job turns out to be a murder case, as they find Kimie's husband slain at his desk.

=== Holmes Freak Case (Manga: [[Volume 12#Holmes Freak Case|117-121]], Anime: [[Holmes Freak Murder Case|57-58]]) ===
After this first case, it only takes one more run-in with Conan to get Heiji thinking about the similarities between Conan and Shinichi. It is on the "[[Holmes Freak Murder Case]]" that Heiji, despite professing a preference for [[Wikipedia: Ellery Queen|Ellery Queen]], exercises the Holmesian axiom: "When you've eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." In addition, after Conan had [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|knocked him out]] to use him as his mouthpiece to present his evidence, Heiji receives a clout on the head from [[Kogoro Mouri]], which wakes him up again, and from the corner of his eye he spies Conan standing behind him and using his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] to mimic his voice; he thus discovers Conan's secret, which forces Conan to explain his situation.

=== Bond of Fire Case (Manga: [[Volume 15#Bond of Fire Case|150-153]], Anime: [[Distinguished Family's Consecutive Accidental Death Case|77-78]]) ===
On their third case together, Conan was initially irritated to see Heiji, but they quickly formed a strong team. Together they cornered the murderer and even took steps to preventing the suicide she had planned. When she realizes that she won't be able to kill herself she weeps piteously, causing Heiji to whisper to Conan, "perhaps we should have let her die." Conan replies that "a detective who corners a murderer with logic and then lets them commit suicide is no better than a murderer."

=== Mystery Writer Case (Manga: [[Volume 19#Mystery Writer Case|183]], Anime: [[The Mystery Writer Disappearance Case|117]]) ===
Heiji calls Conan having deciphered the text in the first new chapter, and with this information Conan manages to solve the rest of the hidden riddles.

=== Stabbed Wallet Case (Manga: [[Volume 19#Stabbed Wallet Case|185-188]], Anime: [[The Naniwa Serial Murder Case|118]]) ===
Heiji invites Conan (and [[Kogoro Mouri]] and [[Ran Mouri]], because otherwise it'd look suspicious) to Osaka. It is revealed by [[Kazuha Toyama]] (in her first appearance) that Heiji has been talking about 'Kudo' so often that Kazuha thought 'Kudo' was his new Tokyo girlfriend. Heiji suggests that the reason he invited Conan to Osaka is because he has been worried about Conan's safety; he has had dreams of Conan being murdered. On a case together in Osaka, Heiji gives Conan his omamori, which ends up saving his life by deflecting a knife thrust. However, without it Heiji is injured while trying to prevent the murderer from committing suicide. In the ambulance, he reveals to Conan that he has taken to heart Conan's admonishment.

=== Wedding Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 21#Wedding Murder Case|211-214]], Anime: [[The Night Before the Wedding Locked Room Case|141-142]]) ===
Heiji and Kazuha visit Tokyo accompanied by Kogoro, Ran, and Conan. They run into Heiji's father's friend and are invited to their mansion. There a murder occurs and his father's friend is found dead in a locked room. It seems he was dragged to another room after being stabbed in the heart. Continuing the investigation, Heiji proclaims the butler was the murderer and he is taken away, screaming his innocence. Late that night, an unknown man takes the murder weapon and tries to place it in a bag, but is caught by Heiji and Conan who reveal that they placed the blame on the butler to lure out the true culprit. The culprit is revealed to be Kikuhito Morizono. He reveals that he murdered the man because he tried to cancel the wedding and take his love away from him.

=== Cruise Ship Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 23#Cruise Ship Murder Case|225-230]], Anime: [[The Twenty Year Old Murderous Intent: The Symphony Serial Murder Case|174]]) ===
In this episode, Heiji meets up once again with Conan and the gang on an overnight cruise in Tokyo. Unfortunately, instead of being able to spend a relaxing day on board, a serial murder case is created, leaving Heiji and Conan to work together to solve it. After they gather much of the evidence of the murder cases, Heiji and Conan share their deductions with each other only to find that, once again, their deductions are different. Heiji tries to beat Conan to the truth and goes off on his own to investigate. When he happens to come across the final piece of evidence that disproves both his and Conan's deductions, he is attacked and thrown overboard into the ocean. Later, Conan realizes that he's missing and is extremely concerned.

=== Spider Mansion Case (Manga: [[Volume 25#Spider Mansion Case|246-250]], Anime: [[Tottori Spider Mansion Demon|166-168]]) ===

Heiji and Kazuha, on their way to the mansion, find one of the residents who is also lost: an American named Robert Taylor who is a photographer. The three are picked up by Kogoro and co. in a truck. Apparently, the spider god's victims are always found hanged. During their stay, they find a hanged man surrounded by web-like strings. The case continues, and Conan and Heiji investigate further in the case. Conan and Heiji cooperate to reveal the murderer's identity and his trick.

Ran is cast in a school play. While discussing the play with her friends backstage, Conan shows up wearing a face mask due to a cold. During a romantic scene, a man in the audience falls dead, seemingly by potassium cyanide, as revealed by a young man in the audience who appears to be Shinichi Kudo. This is quickly debunked, as Kazuha recognizes Heiji in disguise, and the real Shinichi has shown up anyway. Heiji originally planned on disguising as Shinichi in order to clear Ran's suspicions that Conan and Shinichi were one and the same, and was unaware that Shinichi would take the antidote with Haibara present in disguise as Conan.

=== Old Photograph Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Old Photograph Murder Case|278]], Anime: [[The Client Full of Lies|221]]) ===
A woman named Shizuka Ikenami asks Kogoro to help find a man named Shiro Shibata so she could retrieve an old photograph; Conan realizes that the Ikenami is lying to Kogoro when she introduces herself for unknown reasons. After Conan solved the case, Heiji and Kazuha arrive and reveal that Shizuka Ikenami is actually Heiji's mother.

=== Mermaid's Curse Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Mermaid's Curse Case|279-283]], Anime: [[And Then There Were No Mermaids|222-224]]) ===
Heiji along with Conan, Ran, and Kogoro visit the Isle of Mermaids looking for Saori, who had sent a letter to Heiji and Kogoro asking them to save her from being killed by a mermaid, but when they try to look for her she has been reported missing. Conan and Heiji investigate the area and history of Mermaids Grave, a forest on the island. They learn that an elder who is over 130 years old is a holder of the arrow and the head of the festival. While investigating, three murders occur. Conan reveals to Heiji he knows who the murderer is and to meet him later, but later he and Kazuha fall off a cliff. Kazuha attempts to save Heiji by stabbing him with an arrow so that he would let go of her and save himself, but Heiji persists and ends up saving both Kazuha and himself in the end.

At the Mouri Detective Agency, Conan is on the phone talking to Heiji about the much publicised K3 Restaurant's opening party. Heiji's parents got invited but they both got colds and are unable to attend. Heiji decides to invite Conan, Ran, and Kogoro to come to the party. Three famous athletes from America are going to be there also. Once Heiji tells Conan who the three athletes are, Conan accepts the invitation. Suddenly, the news reporter named Ed McCay, who was invited to the K3 Restaurant, asks whether Japan isn't the home of many scandals, and mentions that K stands for "kitanai" meaning filth. Heiji wonders who he is and Kogoro mentions that McCay is famous in America.

McCay later gets murdered, but Heiji and Conan solve the case.

Heiji comes to investigate only to find that the body had somehow been moved to the shower room without anyone noticing. While Heiji was investigating, Kazuha suddenly appears asking Heiji to come back and take part in tournament and told him that Shinichi (actually Conan, with whom Heiji was talking using the name "Kudo") would solve this case before him, which made Heiji jealous and he told Kazuha to not to tell anything about this case to Kudo. After a thorough investigation, Heiji reveals the culprit before Shinichi.

While at Agasa's house, Conan recalls his last meeting with the Black Organization. Conan deduces that another Black Organization member must have been at the hotel party. This is when he finally singles out Chris Vineyard as his suspect. Heiji came to Tokyo to help Conan out with the case. Heiji suspects Jodie-sensei of being a possible Black Organization member, and although Conan seems reluctant to support this idea, they pay Jodie-sensei a visit at her apartment. They find out here that her full name is "Jodie Saintemillion". After Jodie agrees to go out for a while with Heiji and Conan, the man living next door to Jodie falls dead outside from over 30 stories coincidentally as the three step outside. After the police arrive, it seems likely that the man committed suicide. However, Conan and Heiji have their doubts. Heiji immediately destroys the theory of suicide by showing that the man who fell from his apartment attempted to grab onto a curtain to save his life. Conan and Heiji reveal the truth by showing how the room was switched around so that when the man was drunken he would expect to be stepping out onto the balcony, but instead would wind up falling. After they solve the case, Heiji asks Jodie who she is. In reply, Jodie asks Heiji the same question. When Conan and Heiji leave, they concur that Jodie is suspicious but innocuous. The ending scene shows that she's already on to them in that Jodie's already knows Heiji's name and has pictures of Kudo during the time he regressed back to his former self in the Desperate Revival arc.

=== Mysterious Words Case (Manga: [[Volume 35#Mysterious Words Case|361-365]], Anime: [[Solitary Island of the Princess and the Dragon King's Palace|291-293]]) ===

=== Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation (Manga: [[Volume 38#Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation|390-392]], Anime: [[Heiji Hattori's Desperate Situation!|323-324]]) ===

Heiji, Kazuha and a man named Kasukawa are held hostage in an attic of someone's home. Meanwhile, Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are tired of waiting for the two and begin searching for them based on clues from the last phone call. They investigate Detective Kasukawa's home and discover evidence that Heiji had been there. Conan finds a memo which discloses Kenbashi City, Ito Residence. They investigate those with the surname Ito but are unable to find information about Heiji. Meanwhile, it is revealed Heiji is held hostage by Misari Ito, an attorney who is the head of a tax evasion group. Ito demands Heiji to solve a code made by Kasukawa which contains a seven-digit-code to a safe box containing evidence of her scandal. While held at gunpoint, Heiji sends a modified version of the code to Kogoro and asks him to solve it. Conan manages to solve the code, realizing that K, Q, and J stand for King, Queen, and Jack and replaces them with numbers accordingly. When Heiji receives the code back from Kogoro, he tells Misari he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Conan realizes the last three digits are actually letters and realizes what Heiji is trying to tell him and replies a modified code. Heiji tells Misari Ito he will tell her the seven digits and they head to the bank. Heiji reveals that the numbers, if placed in a 3 by 3 diagram, will create a diagram of a dice with the 1's representing the dots on a dice. Heiji reveals that the code he sent Kogoro had the letters LIB meaning Libra which is referring to the scales Libra and the attorney badge Ito has; He explains that the code "Kogoro" replied with means to "Lure One of them Out". At Ito's home, Conan knocks out the two kidnappers and frees Kazuha. The police arrive later and apprehends the criminals.

=== Red Horse Case (Manga: [[Volume 39#Red Horse Case|393-397]], Anime: [[The Red Horse within the Flames|325-327]]) ===
While Heiji and Kazuha were having dinner over at [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s place, Kogoro started to discuss about the serial cases that have been occurring in the area. At every crime scene, a horse would be found engulfed in flames, as the house where the crime occurred, gets burnt down. Humorously, all the cases that appeared to be linked to a serial killer, were not connected at all. It was all done to lessen the suspicion on the culprit's true intention of murder. During their conversation, Heiji invited Kogoro and Conan to assist him in a new case that he wished to solve. They keep a close watch on the house whose occupant had asked for their assistance, even after the one who requested them declined the service. They kept surveillance for a long time until Ran called and asked them to hurry back home for dinner. Just as they left, the house went up in flames, along with a red horse. The woman who had asked them for help was burnt to death. The case triggered the enthusiasm in the two young detectives (Conan and Heiji), and they uncovered the murderer through a joint investigation.

Through a phone call between Heiji and Conan (Shinichi), Heiji mentions that he had come across another young detective in the past who seemed more brilliant than him. A flashback then occurs to reveal what had happened before. It was on a middle school trip among many different schools when a crime happened. A famous actor was murdered, but was told to have committed suicide. Heiji and Shinichi both had set out to solve the case independently, only to know time and again that the other person was just ahead of them in figuring things out. The two detectives had unknowingly solved the same case and stumbled upon the same conclusion, without knowing who the other person is. At the end of the episode it is revealed that the totally awesome detective that Heiji is talking about, is none other than Shinichi.

=== Murderer Shinichi Kudo Case (Manga: [[Volume 62#Murderer Shinichi Kudo Case|646-651]], Anime: [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|521-522]]) ===
Heiji, along with Ran, Kogoro and Kazuha, finds Shinichi with his memory completely erased, during a village trip. They are also surprised to find that almost everyone in the village seems to hate Shinichi, due to a supposedly 'stupid' and 'flawed' solution he gave about the deaths of the local leader and his wife, one year ago. A news reporter, who was present to cover the original case, accuses Shinichi of faking the memory loss and states that she knows the 'truth' about him. The next morning, the reporter is found stabbed, with no one but Shinichi in the house, and a knife with him, turning him into the one and only suspect.

Heiji takes it upon himself to both prove Shinichi's innocence and hide him from the police, helped by Ran, Kogoro and Kazuha. He skilfully proves that the culprit had undergone cosmetic surgery, to impersonate Shinichi and commit a crime to destroy his reputation. The real Shinichi, too, turns up (after mistakenly ingesting [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]]'s APTX 4869 antidote prototype) to justify his deductions about the year-old double deaths.

After the antidote's effects start wearing off, Heiji tries to prevent Shinichi from turning into Conan in front of Ran, by taking him to the toilet and asking him to hide in his (Heiji's) travel bag, so that he can make up some story about the disappearance and get him home.

=== Highway Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 62#Highway Murder Case|652-654]], Anime: [[What She Truly Wants to Ask|523]]) ===

This is a continuation of the plot from the 'Murderer Shinichi Kudo' episode. Having been given another APTX 4869 antidote prototype by Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], Shinichi manages to remain in his 17-year old body. While returning home in Kogoro's hired car, the group spot a dead man inside a speeding car, and are able to stop it. Heiji and Shinichi, after narrowing down the suspects, together apprehend the criminal with such finesse that even Detective [[Miwako Sato]] (who happened to be present there along with her colleague, [[Wataru Takagi]]) is left surprised. Heiji also lends Shinichi his cap to prevent him from being recognized easily, due to Shinichi's fears about the [[Black Organization]].

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Kazuha Toyama ===
{{main|Heiji Hattori and Kazuha Toyama}}
Like Shinichi's relationship with Ran, Heiji's relationship with [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] is a very close one: they know each other since their childhoods, and have stayed close through the years. Their relationship is identified as a romantic one by other characters and fans alike, even though they claim that they don't have that sort of relationship or feelings for each other. Heiji is clueless when it comes to love and in the majority of the manga and anime has not yet realized he has actual feelings for Kazuha, until recently. On the class trip where Ran and Shinichi almost share a kiss, Heiji is explicitly jealous, all the while thinking of Kazuha, even saying “[he’s] running out of places to confess.” While it’s unknown when he plans on confessing, it is clear that Heiji loves Kazuha. It has been shown that he becomes visibly jealous when he sees Kazuha with other guys, becoming distracted throughout the whole case. At one point, after a certain case, while looking at Kazuha, his thoughts read: 'Fool. You're too naive. I promise you, as long as you're with me, I'll never let anyone hurt you.'. Kazuha knows she has feelings for Heiji, as she shows this by being protective and chasing off other women that might have a interest in him In on of the mangas Kazuha attempts to confess her feelings after finding out that Shinichi had done so with Ran, but is unlucky because by telling him, Heiji ran off to tease Conan(Shinichi) for it. She one time even attempted to sacrifice herself to save Heiji during a case in which accidentally both fell off a cliff. When the branch that Heiji was holding and both of them were hanging on to was breaking, she stabbed his hand with an arrow of love to prevent him from falling and force him to let her fall; however, he still held on despite the wound. Also, they have a similar situation to Ran and Shinichi, being childhood friends that have romantic feelings for each other and have similar backgrounds. Heiji is a teenage detective and she is a police detective's daughter, like Ran is a detective's daughter and Shinichi is a teenage detective. They are even called the 'Ran and Shinichi of Osaka' by fans of the series, since they're so similar. Although they are constantly fighting, they both are very close friends. It is also shown in the seventh movie, ''[[Crossroad in the Ancient Capital]]'', that Kazuha is Heiji's first love, though he didn't know it was her at the time. In the most recent case, Heiji confessed to Kazuha when she was taken away by some suspicious men, saying "What are you doing to my Kazuha?!". When Kazuha questioned him about it, he claimed that she was wrong and there was no evidence that proves his confession (although Shinichi recorded it). Nonetheless, it is shown in the file 912 that he has actually realized his feelings for her, as Ran questions him about the confession. He denies it to her, but thinks that he needed a more important place to confess, as Kudo confessed in front of the Big Ben.

=== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ===
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
Heiji acts rather brotherly towards [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], even going so far as to pretend to be him on various occasions so that no one figures out that Shinichi and Conan are the same person. Of course, this might also be to make up for all the times Heiji calls him Kudo, which has nearly given Shinichi away multiple times. Heiji is concerned for Shinichi when he gets into trouble and life-or-death situations. They are as close as real brothers, both being detectives who have romantic feelings for their childhood friends. When they're caught solving a case together, it's not unusual for their minds to move in sync; because of this and several other factors, they maintain a sort of friendly rivalry with each other. However, they are both all business when a case gets serious. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend.

=== Ran Mouri ===
Heiji and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] are very good friends, bonding after Heiji's many trips to Tokyo because he "misses Conan". Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side.

Since Heiji knows that Ran is Shinichi's Girlfriend, he tends to tease Shinichi about her quite often and will give him advice on his romantic relationship with her. He is also sometimes protective of her for the sake of Shinichi, such as when [[Soshi Okita]] flirted with Ran and he told him to back off since she is "his friend's girl" referring to Shinichi. Since it's practically identical with his relationship with Kazuha (Even though they aren't on the same level as Shinichi & Ran's romantic relationship).

Heiji almost views Ran as a sister, as he will tease her from time to time and he'll help explain things to her during cases along with Kazuha.

=== Heizo Hattori ===
Heiji wants to become a detective, and his [[Heizo Hattori|father]] is very supportive of this, helping him solve tough cases. However, his father prefers a "tough love" approach, though mostly for the sole purpose of using Heiji to lure out a suspect.

=== Shizuka Hattori ===
[[Shizuka Hattori|Shizuka]] is Heiji's mother and he sometimes calls her an "old lady".

=== Kogoro Mouri ===
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] respects him a little as a detective, but due to Heiji being the better detective, he seems to get annoyed whenever Heiji is with him while solving cases.

=== Goro Otaki ===
[[Goro Otaki|Otaki]] and Heiji are very good friends.

=== Juzo Megure ===
Usually [[Juzo Megure|Megure]] gets a little annoyed whenever Heiji runs into a case he is handling. He often tells Kogoro to not to lose to an outsider like Heiji. Despite this, Megure respects Heiji as a very skilled detective, and he has even declared Heiji as a better detective than Shinichi.

=== Momiji Ooka ===
[[Momiji Ooka|Momiji]] is close to her "future husband" Heiji. According to the 21st movie (which has yet to be contradicted by the manga / anime), they met as children and played karuta together. Heiji made a "pinky promise" with her about playing more later, which Momiji mistook as a marriage proposal. Unbeknownst to Heiji, Momiji held on the promise for several years, firmly believing that they are destined to be together.
However, despite Momiji's feelings for Heiji, he does not reciprocate them most likely because of his feelings for Kazuha.

'''{{nihongo|Hina Wada|和田陽奈|Wada Hina}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Hina Wada is a teenager living in Haido City, Tokyo, and studies at Haido High School since two years. She also practices karate and is the second best in her category, the first being [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. She is interested in UFOs and aliens, believing in them. [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] first met her when he saw her fighting a purse snatcher in a busy street, although she already knew Ran long ago, since she is her self-declared "rival". They met again in a karate tournament's finals, when she lost against Ran.

== Personality ==
She is curious and nice, although when competing against others. She is rather fierce just like Ran and calls her rival "Ranmaru" because it reminds her of the general [[Wikipedia: Mori Ranmaru|Mori Ranmaru]], who was famous for the line "Overthrow Nobunaga's sycophant".

== Appearance ==
She is of the same height as Ran and has black hair with part of it attached to a band on the left side. She is first seen wearing her high school's karate team's sweatsuit, although normally she wears a jean jacket and a turtleneck. She pratices karate so she could take down an alien if it comes to Earth.

== Abilities ==
=== Karate ===
She is Japan's second best in her category and can easily take down enemies even when they have weapons like a knife, although she prefers not to knock them out.

Hina went to [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s place to ask him to investigate about an UFO sighting case and, along with Ran and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], they went to the place where she supposedly saw the UFO, at Haido Park. There, they encounter [[Kazunobu Chiba|Chiba]], who was investigating a murder case involving possible aliens that occurred at Haido High, just a few drops from the park. In the end, it turns out the murder was done by an alien fanatic having a grudge against the victim and the UFO Hina saw was only a part of his trick.

== Non-canon plot overview ==

'''{{nihongo|Makoto Kyogoku|京極真|Kyōgoku Makoto}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Makoto is [[Sonoko Suzuki]]'s long distance boyfriend.

== Background ==
Makoto attended Haido High School, where he was a prominent member, and eventually the captain, of his karate team and became known as "The Prince of Kicks". He noticed [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] cheering on her friend [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] with great vigour during a martial arts tournament, and became interested in her.<ref name=Summer>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref>

Some time later, he worked in his family's inn as a waiter, where he encountered Sonoko again, this time in company of Ran and [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]].<ref name=Summer/> Soon, however, Sonoko was stalked by a crazed serial killer who suspected her of having taken a picture of him at his latest murder (which she hadn't) and therefore wanted to both silence her as a potential witness and kill her because he hated brunette girls in general. Makoto saved her just in the nick of time, earning her affection, but his constant participation in martial arts competitions and a studying period overseas prevented them from seeing each other often enough.<ref name=Summer/> Sonoko always does her best to maintain contact with him, though, including sending him little trinkets and gifts that she makes herself, and Makoto has stayed loyal to her. He usually gets caught up in one of Sonoko's silly romantic schemes. His fighting skills have proven to be incredibly handy for Conan, having saved Conan, Sonoko, and Ran from being in dangerous peril many times.

== Personality ==
As a master martial artist, Makoto is usually cool, calm and collected, especially in crisis situations, and also a keen observer. At times, he can also adopt a very intimidating aura, making him appear very fearsome. In the TV Original episode "[[The Mystery of the Vanished Black Belt]]", it is explained that he adopted these personality facets following an encounter with the renowned martial artist and teacher Tatsuhito Takami in his youth.

The only thing which does throw Makoto off is his affection for Sonoko, for whom he will go to great lengths, even forsake an important tournament just to meet her. However, Makoto's bashfulness around her, his dedication to his fighting skills and some competitive impulse keep him jumping from one obligation to the other, so their relationship is rendered a bit difficult. But at one point, Sonoko introduces Makoto to her parents, and they eventually approve of him.

Makoto's upbringing must have been rather conservative, since he doesn't quite approve (or at least expresses puzzlement about) Sonoko wearing modern, revealing clothes and therefore worries about her catching a cold whenever he sees her like this.

Makoto always wears a band-aid above his left brow as a stereotypical mark for his fighting competitiveness. In ''[[The Fist of Blue Sapphire]]'', the band-aid is shown to bear a photo from one of his dates with Sonoko on the inside, making it his personal talisman.

== Abilities and skills==
=== Martial arts ===
[[File:Poor Criminals.png|thumb|right|200px|Makoto Kyogoku sending various criminals flying from the ground (notice the height).]]
Makoto is depicted as one of the most powerful teenage martial artists throughout the whole series. In reference to his incredible ability, he is nicknamed the "Prince of Kicks". He has acquired championships in some international Karate tournaments.<ref>[[The Revival of the Dying Message|Episode 173: "The Revival of the Dying Message"]]</ref><ref>[[White Day of Betrayal|Episode 609: "White Day of Betrayal"]]</ref> Makoto also had a 400 win streak from matches around the world that was broken only when he skipped a tournament to be introduced to Sonoko's parents and lost by default.<ref name=862p2>Manga [[Volume 82|Volume 82, File 1 (862), pg 2: "Iron Wall"]]</ref>

Makoto's extraordinary might is carried over into real life combat against criminals carrying weapons and firearms.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red /> As a show of his ability, Makoto was surrounded by 11 men armed with BB pistols. Despite wearing a gasmask that limited his field of view, he caught all the BBs they fired and knocked out all 11 men.<ref name=862p11>Manga [[Volume 82|Volume 82, File 1 (862), pg 11: "Iron Wall"]]</ref> In another case, his unarmed combat skills send a huge group of gangsters armed with swords to the ground with no injuries suffered on his person, despite the latters' vastly superior numeric strength.<ref name=Red /> Even his kick alone can break the enemy's sword into two.<ref name=V52>[[Volume 52|Volume 52, File 543: "Superman"]]</ref> The people who have suffered from his attacks are usually depicted with severe injuries, such as bleeding or losing some teeth. Many often pass out or become unable to move.<ref name=V52 />

=== Strength ===
[[File:bowling.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Makoto accidentally throws a bowling ball.]]
Makoto is shown to be able to throw a bowling ball all the way to the end of its lane (and smashing a hole into its headboard) when he tries to play bowling with Sonoko.<ref name=V81>[[Volume 81|Volume 81, File 859: "Jeet Kune Do vs Karate"]]</ref> He has also been known to bring down a building pillar by repeatedly kicking and punching it,<ref>[[Volume 81|Manga: 862-864 "Twin Bets", Anime: 746-747) "Kaitou Kid VS Makoto Kyogoku]]</ref> and lift the tail of a van running at full speed to stop it from ramming a wall.<ref name=V97>[[Volume 97|Volume 97, File 1026: "TV Drama Filming Site Murder Case"]]</ref>

=== Keen mind ===
Makoto is shown to have an astute mind due to his extensive training, being able to identify Kaitou Kid disguised as Sonoko because of a difference in finger lengths. This is possible because he can take full dimensions of a person he meets in moments. It is a habit of analyzing his opponents physical features with a glance.

=== Agility ===
As a skilled and well-trained martial artist, Makoto is fast and agile. His observational skills and quick reaction time enable him to dodge a bullet<ref name=Valentine/> and block sword slashes.<ref name=Red/>

=== Stamina and pain tolerance ===
Makoto seems completely immune to pain, dismissing a knife sticking in his arm as nothing too significant.<ref name=Summer/>

Not much is known about Makoto's family except for that Makoto's father owns the Kawaraya Inn that Conan, Ran, and Sonoko stayed at in Izu. During the summer, Makoto occasionally helps at the hotel and works as a waiter at the Nagisa Sea Shop restaurant located on the nearby beach.<ref name=Summer /> In [[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]] Makoto mentions that his younger sister requested that he tape "The Maple Leaves of Winter" for her.<ref>[[Volume 52#File 543 - Superman|Volume 52, File 543 "Superman", page 17]]: "実はあのドラマ、妹に頼まれてビデオに録っていたんですが…" ("Actually, my sister asked me to record that drama for her.")</ref>

=== Sonoko Suzuki ===
{{main|Sonoko Suzuki and Makoto Kyogoku}}
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while vacationing, where he was a waiter at a restaurant and worked at his family's inn in his spare time. At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. After he later protects her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer, Sonoko and Makoto entertain a long distance relationship while Makoto goes to study abroad, which is additionally hampered by the fact that he tends to be a little bashful around her.<ref name=Summer />
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]

Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=Valentine>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=Red>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> Sonoko loves to use some kind of concocted scheme to get Makoto to come to her, usually in some romantic way, to create a romantic and dreamy experience for her.<ref name=Red/> This, however, doesn't always end in success, but he sometimes does stumble through her little schemes.<ref name=Valentine /><ref name=Red/> He often warns her of the way she is dressed, because he believes that guys will try to come after her because of it.<ref name=Summer/><ref name=Valentine/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=Megure>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=Pottery>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her bag, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=Photo>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him a chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=Valentine/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=Valentine/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, and despite her constant flirting with any other attractive boy she stumbles upon, Sonoko has generally stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else. Makoto also stays faithful to Sonoko.

== Character popularity ==
* In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Makoto placed 18th overall with 67 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Makoto's name presumably comes from Natsuhiko Kyogoku [[Wikipedia: Natsuhiko Kyogoku|Natsuhiko Kyogoku]], the author of mystery novels such as Ubume no Natsu and Mōryō no Hako.
The name presumably comes from [[Wikipedia: Kyokushin|Kyokushin]] (極真), too.

'''{{nihongo|Shuichi Akai|赤井秀一|Akai Shūichi}}''' is an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent and a major figure in the battle against the [[Black Organization]]. He once assumed the identity of '''{{nihongo|Dai Moroboshi|諸星大|Moroboshi Dai}}''' and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename '''{{nihongo|Rye|ライ|Rai}}'''. During this time he made enemies with [[Gin]] and became romantically involved with [[Akemi Miyano]]. He is the older brother of [[Shukichi Haneda]] and [[Masumi Sera]].

== Background ==
[[File:Long haired Akai.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Shuichi as "Dai Moroboshi" during his infiltration of the Black Organization.]]
Shuichi Akai is a British American of Japanese descent, originally from England, and is a member of the American Federal Bureau of Investigation, on special assignment in Japan to capture [[Vermouth]]. His superior is [[James Black]] and his partner is [[Jodie Starling]].<ref>Manga Chapter 434: Rotten Apple 5</ref> He had infiltrated the Black Organization under the name Dai Moroboshi - and the codename "Rye" - as a mole<ref>Manga Chapter 599: Akai's Past</ref> and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, to feed information to the FBI. In order to facilitate the latter, and later because he had genuinely developed feelings for Akemi, Shuichi saw himself forced to break up his then on-going relationship with Jodie.<ref>Manga Chapter 677: The Fated Individual</ref> Later on, his cover in the Black Organization was accidentally blown by his colleague [[Andre Camel]], and when Akemi was killed, he declared her murderer, [[Gin]] (with whom he seems to have had some tensions even before his exposure), his personal enemy.<ref>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

=== The Disappearance of his father ===
17 years prior to the current timeline, Shuichi's father, [[Tsutomu Akai]], got himself involved in the murder case of Kohji Haneda and Amanda Hughes and disappeared. In his last message he instructed his pregnant wife Mary and their two sons to hide in Japan. Shuichi, determined to investigate his missing father's "incident," convinced his mother to let him study in America. After he left Japan, his younger sister Masumi was born. Shuichi didn't get to meet her until he returned to Japan after seven years in the states, but Shukichi sent him pictures of her. After he had finished school, he joined the FBI.

=== Infiltration of the Black Organization ===
Five years prior to the current time-line, [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agent Shuichi Akai infiltrated the [[Black Organization]] using the alias Dai Moroboshi as a mole and dated [[Akemi Miyano]], one of their low-ranking members, in order to meet [[Shiho Miyano]], a high-ranked member codenamed Sherry, and use her influence to get into the Black Organization.<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> Although at first he was simply using Akemi as a tool, they both fell in love with each other. Shuichi distinguished himself as an agent and two years prior to the current time-line received the codename Rye and was called to work under executive agent [[Gin]]. The FBI laid a trap hoping to capture Gin at a warehouse where the meeting was supposed to take place,<ref name=599p9/> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>
He broke up with Akemi to protect her and he lost contact with her after the mission to capture Gin failed. Two years later Akemi got killed by the organization to cut loose ends.

== Personality ==
Shuichi is a tenacious but stoic agent. Even in personal matters, he remains cool, even detached, from anyone, but his redeeming value is a great sense of loyalty to anyone he knows. He is a skilled and relentless pursuer and detective, qualities which have labeled him the number one enemy of the [[Black Organization]] and earned him the nickname "[[Silver Bullet]]". He looks forward to opportunities to hunt the Black Organization down and get revenge for [[Akemi]]. While usually professional, he often acts independently of the FBI, and even his boss [[James Black]] has trouble getting ahold of him. Shuichi gets along well with Conan, who share many personality traits. Despite that he has American citizenship, he still considers England as his home country.

James Black describes Shuichi as an introverted person who doesn't easily get close to people, and further notes that Shuichi has become even more closed off since Akemi's death.<ref name=502p13>Manga Volume 49, File 2, page 13: "New Order"</ref> Shuichi doesn't often voice what he is thinking and has an unhealthy tendency to prioritize his missions above the emotional well-being of his friends, co-workers, family, and love interests.<ref>Shuichi's fake death, while preserving Kir and allowing her to pass confidential information to the FBI, has caused significant dysfunction within the FBI who believe him to be truly dead. While Shuichi has technically been fulfilling the promise he made to look after Haibara's welfare as Okiya, he has executed it in such a way that made Haibara terrified of his presence and refused to be alone at Agasa's house when he was around.</ref> Conflict between his missions and the interests of those he cares about has lead to significant sorrow for him<ref>Shuichi didn't inform Akemi he was an FBI agent despite being in love because it might jeopardize his mission (and his relationship). Even though Akemi figured out Shuichi was an FBI agent and wished to leave the Organization and date him seriously, she kept it secret from him either because she was not sure how he would react, or because she thought it could cause him harm. Thus, the infiltration mission was the root cause of their secretkeeping which prevented them from coming up with an exit strategy for Akemi in case the mission failed. The following chain of events led to Akemi's death.</ref> and others.<ref>Shuichi's faked death to save Kir's mission and get her to pass information to the FBI as well demoralized the FBI, especially Jodie. Shuichi's infiltration mission required that he seduce Akemi even though he was dating Jodie at the time. When he fell in love with Akemi for real, Shuichi decided to break it off with Jodie. When justifying his decision to Jodie, he mentioned that he didn't want the onus of loving two women at once, but he also mentioned he thought the "sacrifice" was important to his mission to destroy the Black Organization. This implies that love was not the only factor in Shuichi's decision, he thought choosing Akemi over Jodie would help his mission -- perhaps because he was afraid he would be caught as a spy if anyone discovered his relationship with Akemi was fake. [http://forums.dctp.ws/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=980&p=16431#p16431]</ref>

Shuichi prefers to plan secretly, and will readily trick his friends and coworkers, even injuring them, if helps the success of his missions.<ref>FBI vs Org, Shuichi didn't tell the rest of the FBI he would cover Kogoro's agency. In Red vs Black, the return Kir plan and the fake death plan were both kept secret from the FBI. He ordered Camel to remove by force if necessary anyone who interfered which resulted in Jodie being knocked out. He later told Kir to hit Camel for real to make her escape look authentic.</ref> Shuichi is often forgiven for these transgressions because his judgment is usually sound and his plans work out well.<ref>In FBI vs Org, Shuichi was forgiven for covering Kogoro without telling his boss and for making the decision on his own to let the Black Organization leave without much resistance because he thought it might lead to a dangerous firefight downtown. In Red vs Black, Shuichi was forgiven after being told off for hiding his secret plan to return Rena to the Org.</ref> Shuichi's secret plans, while strategically robust in the short term, often cause emotional problems for others that he does not fully appreciate.<ref>In particular, his faked death had a major impact on the FBI and [[Jodie Starling]]. [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] was able to take advantage of the emotional confusion surrounding his death to approach the FBI for his own ends. Jodie's sorrow has reduced her effectiveness and led her to blunder into dangerous situations.</ref>

Even though he means well, Shuichi is notably clumsy at trying to comfort and connect with others. He is especially dense at recognizing the motives behind the feelings of others and thus how to modify his own behavior to improve relations. As [[Subaru Okiya]], his technique to approach [[Ai Haibara]] leaves her terrified of him, and repeated contact only intensifies her loathing. Ten years ago, he was also cold to young Masumi on their first meeting, brushing Masumi's silly antics aside without realizing that she simply wanted him to smile and treat her kindly, though he most likely was simply in a bad mood, since he just had an intense argument with his mother, in which they traded physical blows, because of his plan to join the FBI after his studies to pursue the case of his father and because he had lied to her about that. Later that day, during the investigation of a case, Shuichi gives both Shinichi and Ran a task to help with the investigation, so Masumi approaches Shuichi shyly and asks for a task as well. Now Shuichi responds kindly and gives her a task that makes her feel important. 

Despite his social awkwardness, Shuichi is not apathetic. He gives Jodie some hope by leaving her a message in his own handwriting, and leaves her a very roundabout hint about his identity after knocking her down even though he cannot reveal the truth to her yet. Eventually he also realized that Masumi was looking up to him, so he began to send her videos of him doing Jeet Kune Do.

== Appearance ==
Shuichi is a tall man of Japanese descent with short wavy hair. His trademark features, by which people close to him have identified him are his eyes which have permanent bags underneath them that make him appear sleep deprived. Other characters often describe him as evil eyed or having a sharp gaze. His eyes are blue in the manga (like every other character) and green in the anime. He and [[Masumi Sera]] presumably more closely resemble their mother then their father.
The second trademark feature is his knit cap, which he is always shown wearing. When he was younger he had a grey fedora which Masumi now wears herself. Up to one year ago, he had very long waist length hair, which he cut after the death of Akemi Miyano "to freshen up." Shuichi is left-handed. Ten years before the present timeline, Shuuichi still had short hair, which means he grew it out sometime during the next five years.<ref>File 973</ref> He is a heavy smoker and his favorite drink is whiskey- he has recently taken to drinking bourbon rather than scotch.

His outfit is a grey jacket on top of a collared black shirt, black pants, shoes, and his trademark black knit cap.

== Abilities ==
=== Intelligence ===
[[File:783-5.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan ft. Shuichi]]

Shuichi is capable of thinking on par with Conan. He once set up a sniper ambush at a nearby building, knowing that the Black Organization will come and try to kill Kogoro. He also mentioned that he knew that "making them think the FBI set up the transmitter was the priority."<ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref> In the Paper Airplane Case, Shuichi (disguised as Subaru) matched Conan's deduction abilities, including the use of Morse code and origami. During Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case, Shuichi figured out the key point of Sanada coins, solving the case before Conan and even providing him the hint of "Kumogakure Saizou" to lead him to the same conclusion. During the Delivery Service case, Shuichi was able to figure out Conan's situation in the delivery truck with a mere address change on the parcel. He was able to deduce along with Yusaku Kudo that the hints of ASACA and MASCARA lead to the name of the Boss of the Black Organization, Karasuma Renya.

=== Firearms and sniping ===
[[File:The Scarlet Return-Shooting Shuichi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Shuichi aiming with a Glock]]
Shuichi, is the most capable sniper shown so far, to the point of shooting a small piece of gum out of Gin's hand from about 700 yards away, which is a lot more than the range of Black Organization's professional snipers [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]. He also managed to get a shot on Gin from the same distance.<ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref>
Shuichi is good at handling shotguns as well; he accurately shot Vermouth from the hip faster than she could aim at him with her subcompact pistol.
He is a sharpshooter with a handgun as well, capable of busting a moving car's tire from a speeding car with just a single shot.<ref>Manga Volume 85 File 4 Page 5</ref>

Shuichi uses Calvados' SPAS-12 shotgun to bring down Vermouth, an Arctic Warfare Magnum sniper rifle to shoot Gin, and [[Rikumichi Kusuda]]'s Glock pistol to disable Rei's subordinates.

Akai is unusual in that he is "eye-bidextrous" while shooting. Like hands and feet, most individuals have a dominant eye they prefer to use when lining up a shot, but Shuichi is shown using both eyes at different times.<ref>Left eye for shooting Vermouth in New York, left eye for sniping Gin in Black Impact, Right eye for shooting Rei's subordinates' car in Scarlet Showdown.</ref>

=== Driving ===
Shuichi is a skilled driver. He can overtake many cars quickly in heavy traffic conditions and drift around a U-turn.<ref name=420p14>Manga Volume 41, File 7, page 14: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net" </ref> He drove a [[Cars|Chevrolet C1500]] which was later bombed by Rena.

=== Martial arts ===
Shuichi is also a highly proficient hand-to-hand combatant. Having extensive skill and knowledge of Jeet Kune Do, he taught his sister Sera much, who openly acknowledges him to still be much stronger than her.<ref>Episode 744</ref> In the Bus Jack case, Shuichi's combat skills was hinted as he was ready to strike one of the criminals before Conan hit him with the tranquilizer dart. During the Ikkaku Rock case, Shuichi expertly knocks a knife out of the criminal's hand unarmed. In the Communications Code case, Shuichi incapacitates a robber off-screen, later telling the Detective Boys that the robber fell down the stairs. Though subtle, Shuichi also swiftly knocks out a drunkard harassing Officer Yumi (at the request of his younger brother) in the Policewomen Serial Murder Case.

=== Cooking ===
[[File:783-4.jpg|thumb|200px|Jodie and Camel are shocked to learn that Shuichi can cook]]
Shuichi learned how to cook thanks to [[Yukiko Kudo]],<ref>[[The Scarlet Return]]</ref> and often uses his dishes as an excuse to interject himself into cases at Professor Agasa's house.

=== Disguise ===
Shuichi learned how to act and properly apply his Okiya disguise by himself thanks to Yukiko Kudo and equipment from [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]].<ref>Manga [[Volume 85]], File 5 (898), pg 2: "Scarlet Epilogue"</ref>

=== Accordion ===
He apparently at one point held a part time job playing the accordion.

== Plot overview ==
=== Timeline ===
{{main|Shuichi Akai timeline}}

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Dimensional Sniper (Movie: [[Dimensional Sniper|18]]) ===
Shuichi appeared in this movie as [[Subaru Okiya]]. At first he is seen watching the Detective Boys testing Professor Agasa's invention. Later after [[Masumi Sera]] gets shot, he is seen leaving the hospital, where she is hospitalized. After that he is seen involving himself in the sniper investigation. He is the one who shoot the suspect at the last part. We can see too that he turn off his voice changer and said to [[James Black|James]] {{nihongo|"Roger"|了解|ryōkai}} as signal that it's already finished.

=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===

=== The Scarlet Bullet (Movie: [[The Scarlet Bullet|24]]) ===

== Speculation ==
[[James Black]]'s English background may have assisted the young British-Japanese Shuichi Akai in fast-tracking his way to a US citizenship and then enrolling in the FBI.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Akemi Miyano ====
{{main|Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano}}
Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano were lovers while he was infiltrating the [[Black Organization]]. Shuichi's original mission was to date Akemi Miyano in order to meet Shiho Miyano. Shuichi used Shiho's influence to gain rank in the Organization, intending to become trusted enough to meet with high level agents so the FBI could capture one for questioning. As [[James Black]] later recalls, although Shuichi's relationship with Akemi was merely a stepping stone, Shuichi actually fell in love with Akemi, and considered her his real girlfriend. Because of this he broke up with [[Jodie Starling]].

[[File:Akemi's Text Message.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The last text message Akemi had sent Shuichi, before her death.]]
Sometime later, Akemi develops the suspicion that Shuichi really wasn't who he claimed to be. After Shuichi's expulsion, he confirms that he is an FBI agent to her. To Shuichi's surprise, Akemi doesn't seemed surprised by this, so Shuichi asks her why she never said anything about her suspicions that she was being used by him before, and Akemi hints it is because she loves him. Initially, the Organization couldn't do anything about Akemi because they needed the loyalty of her sister, but two years later they decided that the risk of her contact with Shuichi was too much. They decided to create a situation where they could eliminate her by having her do a bank heist she was supposed to fail. Sometime near the day of the heist, Akemi sent Shuichi a long text message, asking him if he wants to be her real boyfriend when she is finally free from the Organization. After the heist, Akemi is killed by [[Gin]], and it is unknown how Shuichi responded if at all. Shuichi treasures her final text message, and keeps it in his phone many months after Akemi's death. The message also contains a P.S. which has not been revealed yet.

How Akemi and Shuichi met in the manga is unknown, but in the anime, Shuichi Akai originally met Akemi by an intentional accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he deliberately walked into the street in front of her in order to be hit by her.<ref>Episode 497</ref> Akemi was concerned, and helped take him to the hospital, watching over him until he was better. When he woke up, he felt no anger over what she did, and even asked for her name, to which a very flustered Akemi replied, while he told her his fake name: Dai Moroboshi. After this they began dating.
{{clear}}

==== Jodie Starling ====
While Jodie and Shuichi's relationship had been viewed as mere colleagues, it is revealed later on in the series that Jodie and Shuichi had dated before about 5 years prior. However, after Shuichi infiltrated the Black Organization under the alias of Dai Moroboshi, he started dating Akemi Miyano in hopes of using her to attain information about the Black Organization. Despite this, Shuichi ended up falling in love with Akemi, leading him to break up with Jodie, stating that, "To be able to love two women at the same time…it's not that handy a personality."<ref name="677p5">Manga [[Volume 65]], File 3 (677), pg 5: "The fated individual"</ref> In spite of the break-up, Jodie still held strong feelings for Shuichi which never wavered as time passed and took his apparent death at Kir's hands especially hard, to the point of being reduced to tears.

==== James Black ====
[[James Black]] is the boss of the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agents in Japan and therefore the boss of Shuichi. He was one of those who know that Shuichi was alive after Shuichi's fake death, but only because he saw the glue on Shuichi's fingers and would have otherwise also been kept in the dark. The two maintain close contact with each other up to present.

==== Andre Camel ====
[[Andre Camel]] worked with Shuichi Akai before when he was an agent in the [[Black Organization]]. Camel was involved in the plan to capture Gin two years ago, but he gave away the plan of the FBI when he saw a member of the organization disguised as an old man. Because of this, Shuichi's identity became known to the Organization. However, Shuichi does not seem to bear a grudge against Camel but worked together well. Camel is willing to help Akai in any way he can to redeem for his mistake.

==== Ai Haibara ====
When Haibara first met Shuichi, she thought he was a member of the Black Organization. Shuichi seems to know of Haibara's identity. Haibara knows him as Dai Moroboshi, her sister's boyfriend who betrayed the Organization.<ref>Manga Chapter 802</ref> Haibara should know Dai was a spy and FBI agent, after hearing an exchange between [[Bourbon]] and [[Kaitou Kid]] through a microphone<ref>Manga Chapter 824,[http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b40277b84692b54c491654534be7ccf/tumblr_mpc528w9hS1qfn9zio1_r1_500.png]</ref>, but she does not know him by the name Shuichi Akai. During his time in the organization he became acquatained with Haibara, while she was still known as [[Shiho Miyano]], through Akemi and make use of it to slip into the organization. He made a promise with Akemi to look after Haibara's welfare.<ref>Manga [[Volume 77]], Files 3-5 (809-811)</ref>
She doesn't know that it was because of the relationship between Akai and her sister, that got her sister killed.

==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====
Shuichi and Conan get along well and are capable of thinking on par with one another. In the short time they have worked together, Shuichi has come to respect Conan's intellect and deductive skills and speaks to him professionally. After FBI had capture Kir, he asked who Conan was, hinting that he suspected that there was more to Conan that meets the eyes. He is also aware that [[Conan]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]] are really one and the same person <ref>Manga [[Volume 77]], File 813 p.16 and File 814 p.3 </ref>. There is further speculation amongst fans that Shuichi has figured out that Ai was formerly Sherry and (more than likely) learned about her research for the Black Organization and the two possible effects of [[APTX 4869]].

==== Masumi Sera ====
[[Masumi Sera]] is Shuichi's younger sister. Masumi wasn't born yet when Shuichi went to America to study, so they first got to meet each other, when Masumi was seven. It's indicated at Shuichi cares for his sister. While Masumi was growing up, Shuichi would send her training tapes of Jeet Kune Do that she could practice after. During the mystery train case, when Masumi was knocked out by Vermouth and hidden in her room, Shuichi (disguised as Subaru) carried her back to her own room. As he was about to leave he overheard her calling out 'Shuu-nii' in her sleep, which made him smile. And in the movie [[Dimensional Sniper]] he (as Subaru) was seen leaving the hospital, where Masumi was hospitalized after getting shot, hinting that he was visiting her. While she was unconscious, he left a bouquet in her room, which Ran and Sonoko find.

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
[[Shukichi Haneda]] is Shuichi's younger brother. He keeps track of Shukichi Haneda's shogi matches. During a reunion ten years ago Shukichi shows concern over his choice of path in life. During the Policewomen Serial Murder Case, he received a text by Shukichi to protect [[Yumi Miyamoto]], indicating the brothers are in contact. When Yumi is accosted by drunkards, he disguised as Subaru incapacitates them and has them leave her alone.

==== Mary Sera ====
[[Mary Sera]] is Shuichi's mother. She hoped that he would become a father figure to Masumi to replace their missing biological father.

==== Tsutomu Akai ====
[[Tsutomu Akai]] is Shuichi's father. His father's disappearance cause him to seek revenge.

=== Allies ===
==== Hidemi Hondou ====
Hidemi is a CIA agent undercover in the Black Organization as Rena Mizunashi, codenamed Kir. She agreed to supply the FBI with information of the organization in return for her brother's protection. She, Akai and Conan worked out the plan to send Hidemi back to the organization and fake Akai's death.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}
Shuichi Akai and Gin are rivals and hate one another. It is implied that they didn't get along even before Shuichi was exposed as an undercover FBI agent. Shuichi refers to Gin as "Koibito", which ironically means 'lover.' Gin killed Shuichi's love Akemi, so Shuichi thinks of Gin as his archenemy.

==== Rei Furuya====
Since joining the Black Organization, [[Rei Furuya]] has always considered Shuichi Akai as a worthy rival, he want to compare his capacity with Shuichi and think he is the only one who could defeat Shuichi. Shuichi always show a respectful towards Rei, he admits Rei's capability and feels interest everytime he faces Rei, he also made Rei felt quite confused sometimes. Their relationship is becoming more bitter and dramatic when Rei misunderstood Shuichi killed his best friend - Scotch, but actually the one who indirectly caused Scotch to die was Rei himself. Shuichi chooses to keep a secret, continues to let Rei misunderstand him instead of letting Rei know that painful truth. Over time, Shuichi appears to help and protect Rei in some cases, he gradually wants to compensate for the losses which Rei has experienced, he also reveals that he doesn't want to be Rei's enemy. For now, Rei is temporarily lowering his hatred to working well with Shuichi and Conan in destroying the Black Organization.

=== Unknown relationships ===
==== Kohji Haneda ====
A relationship between Shuichi and [[Kohji Haneda]] is unknown, but [[Volume 89#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|the case of Kohji's death]] made Shuichi an FBI agent.<ref name="file948">[[volume 89#The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters|File 948: The Clenched Scissors (Volume 89)]]</ref>

== Character popularity ==
* eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Shuichi placed 12th in the poll with 53 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結果|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

* In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Shuichi placed 7th overall with 415 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Akai.gif|image|right|thumb|200px|Yutaka Tani draws Shuichi as half of Char on Gosho's website]]
Akai's name comes from the [[wikipedia:Mobile Suit Gundam|Mobile Suit Gundam]] character [[wikipedia:Char Aznable|Char Aznable]], whose nickname was the {{nihongo|"Red Comet"|'''赤い'''彗星|'''Akai''' Suisei}}, and Char's voice actor [[Shuichi Ikeda|'''Shuichi''' Ikeda]] (who is also Akai's voice actor). Additionally, his alias, Dai Moroboshi, comes from Char's real name, Casval Rem '''Deikun''' (sounds like '''Dai-kun''' in Japanese). '''Moroboshi''' can also mean ''falling star'', another possible allusion to ''Red Comet''.<ref>In Moroboshi (諸星), the first kanji can be broken up into 言者 which when pronounced as げんしゃ (gensha) sounds very similar to the word for "phenomenon" (genshou). The second character (星) means "star". Moroboshi, read as "Star phenomenon" references falling stars or maybe comets. </ref>

'''{{nihongo|Chianti|キャンティ|Kyanti}}''' is a [[Black Organization]] sniper in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Chianti profile.png|right|thumb|200px|Chianti aiming.]]
Chianti is a [[Black Organization]] sniper. She is skilled with rifles, and Haibara explains that she and Korn are excellent snipers. However she is not quite a match for FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]]: he is indeed able to fire precisely even at 700 yards, whereas her maximal fire range is 600 yards. Her partner is [[Korn]], and the two are often seen together on missions, just as [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] are usually seen together. It is implied that she had some sort of relationship with the deceased member, [[Calvados]], whose death she blames [[Vermouth]] for.

== Appearance ==
Chianti usually dresses in black leather suits with a collar. Her left eyelid bears the tattoo of a swallowtail butterfly's wing.

== Personality ==
Chianti is a wild, ruthless assassin who enjoys killing. She is also very impatient, even refusing to stop her car when asked by a construction worker. Gin has cautioned her not to shoot at innocent targets out of boredom. She uses harsh and rude language. She fears the [[The Boss|boss]] even more than she proves to fear Gin, and proves to be envious for what [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] has used to make the boss let her join their group four years ago. However, she and Kir seem to be very friendly.

[[File:Korn Chianti Ferris Wheel.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Chianti: "What? You want to ride the [ferris wheel]?"]]
[[Korn]] is Chianti's partner and they are usually seen together. They seem to get along well enough; Chianti confides to Korn that she would like to kill Vermouth because she led Calvados to his death. She may also allow him to take the best part of a mission to please him (that is to say, targeting the head of the victim), in spite of her strong desire to kill by herself. They are not dating.<ref>[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page-7#entry322612 Super Digest Book 60+] question 5</ref> However, the animation team added an [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small‎|extra scene]] where Korn blushes when Chianti asks him if he wants to ride the ferris wheel, which in Japan is considered a romantic activity for couples.

=== Vermouth ===
[[File:EP425-VC.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Chianti blames Vermouth.]]
[[Vermouth]] and Chianti are enemies. Chianti hates Vermouth for taking advantage of Calvados' love and getting him killed. Vermouth sometimes taunts Chianti, who does not take it well. In order to avenge Calvados' death, she would've killed Vermouth a long time ago, if she wasn't the boss' favorite, and must work with her due to direct orders from the boss, but swears she'll definitely kill her in the end.

'''{{nihongo|Vermouth|ベルモット|Berumotto}}''', also known as '''{{nihongo|Sharon Vineyard|シャロン・ヴィンヤード|Sharon Vin'yādo}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Chris Vineyard|クリス・ヴィンヤード|Kurisu Vin'yādo}}''', is an actress and member of the [[Black Organization]] in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
Vermouth's background is very mysterious because she has been secretly living at least two lives through the art of disguise: that of actress Sharon Vineyard (now "deceased") and her supposed daughter, Chris Vineyard.

As the actress Sharon Vineyard, Vermouth gained much fame on Broadway and in movies, even winning an Oscar. Even then, she was a member of the Black Organization. Twenty years ago, she murdered [[Jodie Starling]]'s [[FBI]] father who had collected information on her. Jodie Starling would eventually grow up to be an FBI agent and one of Vermouth's most bitter enemies. As Sharon, Vermouth became close friends with [[Yukiko Kudo]] back when they were studying disguise under [[Toichi Kuroba]].

At some point Sharon began to pretend to have a daughter named Chris, who she did not got along with after she played a rude prank. That fact might have serve as a pretext to why the two 'identities' wouldn't be seen together in public. While Sharon was still alive, Chris kept out of the public eye except for acting in movies and giving interviews. Less than one year ago, Vermouth staged Sharon Vineyard's death, which allowed Chris to come out publicly. Currently, Vermouth serves the Black Organization with the public name Chris Vineyard.

Vermouth is the [[The Boss|boss]]' favorite which grants her some independence. Vermouth also has some particular connection to the boss that she does not want known by the greater organization, which [[Bourbon]] is blackmailing her with.<ref>Manga Volume 85, File 898: "Scarlet Epilogue"</ref> She also appears not to age or have de-aged over a period of twenty years between when she killed Jodie's parents and her current appearance. She doesn’t seem to like [[APTX 4869|the research]] that [[Shiho Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano|her]] [[Elena Miyano|parents]] engaged in, calling it “foolish". <ref>[[Volume 42#File 434 - Rotten Apple|Volume 42, File 434: "Rotten Apple"]]</ref>

Vermouth entered the storyline some time after [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano/Sherry/Ai Haibara]]'s mysterious flight from the Organization. Her main objective was to track down and eliminate the 'traitor', and for that purpose she assumed the identity of doctor [[Tomoaki Araide]]. But although she managed to discover Shiho's reversion into a child, she did not succeed in killing her, as she met [[Conan Edogawa]], who was able to discover and thwart her plans. She also encountered the FBI during this process.

Vermouth has great personal interest in Conan, constantly calling him "[[Silver Bullet]]". Since it has been revealed that she knows about Ai and Kudo's reversion to their child forms, she seems to know the shrinking effect the drug can have, but for reasons yet unrevealed she keeps this knowledge secret from the rest of the Organization.

== Personality ==
Although she follows orders from the boss and [[Gin]] when he is charge of missions, Vermouth often acts according to her own agenda and whims, even when it runs contrary to the [[Black Organization]]'s best interests. She is secretive and manipulative, even towards other Organization members. Vermouth is confident in her abilities, is very bold, and an expert at manipulating situations to her advantage: traits which allow her to single-handedly weave complex plots and take the upper hand even while she is being monitored by enemies. She is intelligent and insightful, correctly suspecting the allegiance of Kir, but she was successfully outwitted by [[Conan]] and forced by [[Shuichi Akai]] to retreat.
[[File:Vermouth provokes Gin.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Vermouth teases Gin and Vodka by disguising as a waiter.]]
Vermouth's personality is contradictory at times. On one hand, she is a cruel and ruthless agent who will blackmail an unwilling man to commit murder by threatening him and his family just to provide a distraction and happily tell [[Jodie Starling|an FBI agent]] she should smile because she will see her dead father again in heaven. On the other hand, she risks her life several times to protect Conan (Cool Guy), [[Ran]] (Angel), and [[Kogoro]], and her friendly behavior while in disguise as Tomoaki Araide left the real Araide wondering if Vermouth is really a bad person. This inconsistency may reflect an underlying conflict of conscience after [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and Ran (Angel) saved her life during the events of the [[Vermouth_timeline#Golden_Apple_Case_.28Manga:_350-354_Anime:_286-288.29|Golden Apple case]]. Vermouth also appears to be an atheist at first as she claims to not believe in God nor angels until Ran unknowingly rescued her which seemed to have given her back some faith.

At this point, Vermouth's motives are very mysterious. She knows about Conan being Shinichi, as well as that Haibara is Sherry, yet she has kept this information a secret from the rest of the Organization. She dislikes the Miyano family's research. She also retains personal feelings for persons who have earned a special place in her heart, such as Shinichi/Conan (Cool Guy) (as the son of [[Yukiko Kudo|her best friend]]) and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="e288">[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case, Part 3]].</ref> As a result, she is highly unwilling to do them any harm even when she is ordered to do so.

While she does kill people, something suggests that she is not much into killing children. When Jodie, as a child, caught Vermouth, Vermouth didn't kill her directly but instead asked her to stay in the house, which she later set on fire. It could mean that she doesn't like to kill children directly. And when she questions a young witness, [[Toji Funemoto]], about Kir's accident, she lets him live.

She enjoys teasing others, seen when she disguised as a male waiter and served Gin and Vodka martinis and taunted Chianti by wishing her good luck and blowing her a kiss.<ref>[[Volume 49#File 501 - Follow the Target!|Volume 49, File 501, page 7: "Follow the Target!"]]</ref>

== Abilities ==
=== Disguise ===
[[File:Vermouth taking off Araide's mask.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth removes a latex mask.]]
Vermouth is able to mimic anyone's appearance and voice exactly with her disguise and acting skills even after observing them for only a short period of time. Vermouth frequently utilizes latex masks. Her disguising ability has been noted by Conan to be on par with the current Kaito Kid (Kaito Kuroba).<ref>[[Volume 44|Volume 44, File 457, Page 7]]</ref> Although she may have known how to disguise prior to meeting [[Toichi Kuroba]], she studied disguise under him. Her disguise ability was first shown in [[The Mysterious Passenger]]<ref>[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287: "The Unseen Horror"]], [[The Mysterious Passenger|Episode 230: The Mysterious Passenger]]</ref> where she dressed as a male waiter to tease [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]]. [[Jodie Starling]] once referred to Vermouth's disguise abilities as a frightening type of perfection.<ref>[[Episode 362]]</ref>

=== Reconnaissance ===
Vermouth specializes in reconnaissance and infiltration, and has been shown to work very swiftly yet cautiously to rapidly acquire information. Her confidence and skill in disguise and imitation means she can execute bold plans that put her in very close contact with her targets and she can advance her plot even when they are suspicious of her. Without the aid of the other organization members, Vermouth successfully snuck into the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police headquarters]] in order to steal the records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases. She later returned them when presumably the surveillance would be even higher after the police noticed the files were missing. She then single-handedly staked out the [[FBI]] who were lured out into watching Kogoro Mouri and uncovered their numbers, addresses, and ways to contact them.

=== Stamina ===
Vermouth is quite strong and has developed a high pain tolerance. While she was disguised as a serial killer in New York City, Vermouth athletically vaults up from a dead hanging positioning over the railing of the stairwell to higher ground despite being shot in the side. She also shoots herself in the leg in order to avoid the effects of sleeping gas, and was able to limp to a phone booth on that shot leg, with several broken ribs caused by Shuichi, and with a deep scratch on her right shoulder when Jodie shot at her.

=== Shooting ===
As Vermouth pulled away in Jodie's car with broken ribs after her flak jacket absorbed a close range shotgun blast, she managed to aim a handgun backwards with her left hand using the side mirror while driving a car she wasn't used to and shoot Araide's car's gas tank standing 100 yards away, causing it to explode. Shuichi is impressed she managed that difficult shot with her battered body. Earlier however, she failed to draw fast enough to shoot Jodie or Shuichi; in the first case, the gun was shot out of her hand, in the second, Shuichi fired first.

== Non-aging ==
[[File:Vermouth 20 years ago.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's appearance 20 years before the current timeline.]]
For some reason, Vermouth does not appear to age. Her apparent age hasn’t changed since she murdered Jodie’s parents twenty years ago.<ref name="f433">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> [[Shuichi Akai]] proved that Vermouth was not wearing a mask when his shotgun fire grazed her face. Specifically, it hasn't been clarified if Vermouth hasn't aged over time or if she became younger all at once. It is also important to note that Vermouth's talent for disguise makes it difficult to figure out when Vermouth stopped aging or deaged.

== Plot overview ==
=== Manga and anime timeline ===
{{main|Vermouth timeline}}

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== The Raven Chaser (Movie: [[The Raven Chaser|13]]) ===
Vermouth disguises as a brown haired policeman in a dark suit with glasses to check on [[Irish]]'s progress and the integrity of his disguise during the conference. After texting the boss outside the bathroom, she exits the building and leaves in [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Gin's Porsche 356A|Gin's Porsche 356A]].

She is seen again disguising as a young brown-haired woman when trying to come closer to the believed serial killer but leaves as soon as she realizes he is not. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] tracks her down in the underground parking lot and makes her reveal herself. She gives Conan essential information about an organization member named Irish and wishes him good luck when leaving.
It is later revealed that she was the one who supervised the captured [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] and provided him with comestibles. When the police finds out about Matsumoto's remains, she informs [[Gin]] about it and leaves.
Finally, she is briefly seen driving along the Highway when Gin's helicopter crashes, complimenting Conan's accomplishments and calling him again a "silver bullet".

=== The Shadow Approaching Amuro (Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Amuro|813]]) ===
At the end, Bourbon receives a phone call from Vermouth who warns him not to take his current "secret investigation" too deeply, lest it arouses Gin's undue attention.

=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===

== Plot exposition ==
=== Family history ===
[[File:Vermouth Sharon Vineyard EP345.png|thumb|right|200px|Chris and Sharon Vineyard]]
In order to camouflage the fact that Sharon Vineyard and Chris Vineyard are the same person, Vermouth concocted personal histories for her real life cover roles in order to make them seem like different people. When Sharon and Chris Vineyard were revealed to be one and the same, at least part of the stated Vineyard family history was revealed to be a lie. The fall-out between mother and daughter probably serves as an excuse to why the two of them never are seen together. It is unknown how much of the remainder is truthful, based on the truth, or outright fabrication because the primary source of the information is Vermouth herself who may have more to hide.

Little is known of Sharon Vineyard's mother and father. Sharon's parents were not actors, at least not well known ones, because Agasa called Chris Vineyard a second generation actress.<ref name="f341p8">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 8: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> According to Sharon's story, both her mother and father died in a fire on the day Sharon debuted on screen.<ref name="f351p2">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 2: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref>

So far, Sharon Vineyard's age has not been given and nothing is known about her personal history before she became an actress. Even her fans knew little about her private life even after she became famous.<ref name="f344p9">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 9: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Sharon said her road to stardom was very difficult and full of misfortune, prompting her to doubt the existence of God: "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 18: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Sharon became a star actress<ref name="f350p16">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 16: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> and, according to [[Shuichi Akai]], is best known for her work in the Golden Apple broadway play.
[[File:Chris with veil.png|thumb|left|200px|Chris Vineyard coming out into public for the first time - at the funeral of her mother Sharon Vineyard]]
At some point, she married and gave birth to her daughter Chris Vineyard. Her husband later died of an unspecified illness the day after Sharon won an Oscar. While studying for an acting role approximately 20 years ago, Sharon learned disguise techniques from [[Toichi Kuroba]] alongside the aspiring young Japanese actress [[Yukiko Kudo]].<ref name="f350p17">[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volume 34, File 350, page 17: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref><ref>Yukiko started her career while in high-school. Yukiko is 37 currently so the time frame while Yukiko was studying as a beginning actress is approximately 20 years ago when Yukiko was 17 or 18.</ref> During their time together, Yukiko became Sharon's friend, and they have maintained contact with one another. Sharon later sent Yukiko three tickets to Golden Apple broadway production the year before she died. The cause of Sharon's death has not been revealed.

Chris Vineyard meanwhile became a successful actress quickly by riding the coattails of her mother's fame.<ref name="f351p2" /> She began to make movies and give interviews to reporters only, but otherwise she never appeared publicly.<ref name="f344p9" /> The first day she came out into public was the day of her mother's funeral some time less than one year ago.<ref name="f344p9" /> A reporter who tried to question Chris asked where she went to school, whether she got along with her mother, who her father is, and if the rumored lover she has will appear at Sharon's funeral.<ref name="f344p10">[[Volume 34#File 344 - The Storm of Booing|Volume 34, File 344, page 10: "The Storm of Booing"]]</ref> Chris answered none of these, but the types of questions which were asked demonstrate the secrecy surrounding the Vineyard family history.

Sharon Vineyard and Chris apparently didn't get along; Sharon doesn't consider Chris to be her daughter.<ref name="f351p2" /> Sharon explained this by relaying a tale to Yukiko about Chris who disguised as Sharon's husband and then met with Sharon when she visited her husband's grave to lay flowers.<ref name="f351p3">[[Volume 35#File 351 - Golden Apple 2|Volume 35, File 351, page 3: "Golden Apple 2"]]</ref> Sharon did teach Chris the disguise techniques she learned from Toichi after Chris begged for them.<ref name="f351p3" /> One year prior to the current timeline, Sharon says she hasn't seen Chris in ten years and that she is currently hanging out with a "bad crowd" of people.<ref name="f351p3"/>

=== Hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not Jodie ===
[[File:Ep278 Cool Gay.png|thumb|right|200px|Jodie's copies have uneven borders, highlighted in red, from imperfect camera alignment while photographing Vermouth's images.]]
There were several hints that Vermouth was Dr. Araide and not [[Jodie Saintemillion]] who was also a candidate for being Vermouth before her true identity was revealed.
* The records of [[Kogoro Mouri]]'s cases that Vermouth stole did not contain any cases involving [[Jodie Saintemillion]], but did contain the murder case [[Tomoaki Araide]] was involved in. This was the clue that allowed Conan to deduce Araide was Vermouth.
* Jodie's copies of [[Media:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|the pictures of Ran and Conan on Vermouth's dartboard]] have irregular borders indicating they were photographs of Vermouth's pictures.<ref name="f343p18">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 18: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> This detail was overlooked in the anime. Also, Jodie has a picture of Dr. Araide.
* Araide switches from the basketball to the drama club.<ref name="f270p3">[[Volume 27#File 270 - Game Start|Volume 27, File 270, page 3: "Game Start"]]</ref>
* Haibara skipped school on the day of the yearly health checkups that Dr. Araide gives the elementary school students. Conan wonders if Haibara thinks there is something wrong with Araide.<ref name="f287p3">[[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|Volume 29, File 287, page 9: "The Unseen Horror"]]</ref>
* Vermouth falls out of character. One of her patients says Dr. Araide has been acting like a stranger.<ref name=355p6>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 6: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> Also, "Dr. Araide" claims to have sent his grandmother and housekeeper Hikaru ahead to Aomori,<ref name=355p5>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (355), pg 5: "The Haunted House's Mystery 1"</ref> which is strange because it was established in the Araide family murder case<ref>[[Volume 24#File 235 - In the Darkness...|Volume 24, Files 235-236: "In the Darkness..."]]</ref> that Araide didn't trust them (especially Hikaru) to take care of themselves.<ref>[[Volume 35#File 355 - Mystery of the Haunted House 1|Volume 35, File 355: "Mystery of the Haunted House 1"]], [[The Truth of the Haunted House|Episode 274: The Truth of the Haunted House]]</ref>

=== Jodie's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ===
[[File:Vermouth with little Jodie.png|thumb|right|200px|Seven year old Jodie encounters Vermouth twenty years ago.]]
Jodie's father in the FBI was secretly investigating Vermouth twenty years before the current storyline.<ref name="f433" /> That is too young for Chris Vineyard to be in disguise as she is only 29 currently and would be 9 at the time. After Vermouth killed Jodie's father she inadvertently handled Jodie’s father’s glasses barehanded which had fallen off of him and got her fingerprints on them. Unexpectedly, little Jodie came in and saw Vermouth holding the glasses. When Vermouth left after setting the house on fire, she didn't anticipate that Jodie left to get juice, taking her father’s glasses with her and thus preserving her fingerprint. After she discovered Jodie's corpse was not found in the house, Vermouth looked for the girl desperately in order to rectify her mistake, but Jodie had since been put into witness protection.

Jodie suspected Chris Vineyard of being Vermouth when she saw her at Sharon’s funeral. She somehow determined Chris Vineyard’s prints matched those of the glasses. Chris would have been too young to commit a crime 20 years ago, so later Jodie obtained Sharon’s fingerprints and matched those as well. All three matched, proving to Jodie that the three people were one and the same.

=== Conan's investigation ===
==== Conan's discovery Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide ====
[[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] suspects [[Pisco]] had help from another [[Black Organization]] member. He looks into [[Chris Vineyard]] and realizes that she is able to disguise herself and may be pretending to be someone close to him. [[Kogoro Mouri]]’s case records were stolen from the police department. Conan realizes [[Tomoaki Araide]] is Vermouth because Vermouth needed the files to testify at the trial properly while in disguise.
[[File:Vermouth as Araide.png|left|thumb|200px|Vermouth as Dr. Araide]]
Conan first suspects there is another Black Organization member who was present at the mourning party after considering how Pisco obtained another purple handkerchief which enabled him to leave the investigation. Conan didn't realize that this Black Organization member might be after him or Haibara until after the bus jack case when Haibara tells Conan there was definitely someone from the Organization on the bus. Conan's first suspect is [[Shuichi Akai]] whose behavior seemed suspicious.<ref name="f291p11">[[Volume 29#File 291 - A Tiny Trace|Volume 29, File 291, page 11: "A Tiny Trace"]]</ref> After he recognizes Shuichi in the P & A case<ref name="f326">[[Volume 32#File 326 - P & A|Volume 32, File 326-328: "P & A"]]</ref>, Conan shows sensitivity to the prospect of someone investigating them.<ref name="f332">[[Volume 33#File 332 - Bloody Valentine 2|Volume 33, File 332: "Bloody Valentine 2"]]</ref> Conan doesn't seem to suspect the person Vermouth has replaced, [[Tomoaki Araide|Dr. Araide]], yet because he was willing to use his voice changer in front of him.<ref name="f330">[[Volume 33#File 330 - Sato's Feelings|Volume 33, File 2: "Sato's feelings"]]</ref>

Conan gets his first tangible proof someone is investigating around him when [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] informs Conan all the records of [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]]'s cases were stolen from the police station on the day of the bus hijack incident and later returned.<ref name="f336p9">[[Volume 33#File 336 - Clean Scent|Volume 33, File 336, pages 9-10: "Clean Scent"]]</ref> He begins to wonder who the target is and suspects Shuichi may be behind the incident because of the timing. Conan also begins to suspect the English teacher [[Jodie Starling|Jodie Saintemillion]] and Dr. Araide as well because they were also on the bus.<ref name="f343p17">[[Volume 34#File 343 - Who Are You?|Volume 34, File 343, page 17: "Who Are You?"]]</ref> He isn't sure of the motive for taking the records although Conan wonders if someone is trying to lure him out or if the person returned the files because they already knew what Conan would do.<ref name="f341">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref>

Conan's idea that Pisco had an accomplice among the other suspects has fully solidified. He has noticed one of the suspects who had a purple handkerchief, [[Chris Vineyard]], hasn't appeared in public since that case, thus Conan believes Chris is the Black Organization accomplice. He asks [[Agasa]] to go onto Chris's fansite and gather information on her past, interests, and habits<ref name="f341p3">[[Volume 34#File 341 - The Hint That Was Against|Volume 34, File 341, page 3: "The Hint That Was Against"]]</ref> and Agasa's investigation corroborates with Conan's deduction.<ref name="f344p9" /> Conan is already aware that Chris Vineyard has disguise abilities and may be in disguise as someone around him.<ref name="f343p17" />

At this point, Conan is still uncertain of Araide, Jodie, and Shuichi's allegiances. He learns from [[Ran Mouri|Ran Mouri]] that Shuichi Akai was seen with a man in an [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] jacket during the New York case, causing Conan to wonder if the FBI is in Japan for some reason or the Black Organization infiltrated the American law enforcement.<ref name="f380p5">[[Volume 37#File 380 - White Snow... Black Shadow...|Volume 37, File 380, pages 5-6: "White Snow... Black Shadow..."]]</ref> Conan begins to take precautions around Dr. Araide and Jodie by lying to them in order to minimize contact and information they have about Haibara.<ref name="f420">[[Volume 41#File 420 - The Enclosing Surrounding Net|Volume 41, File 420: "The Enclosing Surrounding Net"]]</ref><ref name="f422">[[Volume 41#File 422 - Inescapable Target|Volume 41, File 422: "Inescapable Target"]]</ref> However, Jodie and Dr. Araide both go over to Agasa's house and plant listening devices because Conan failed to communicate his suspicion and plans to Agasa.<ref name="f422" />

By the time Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he has realized that Vermouth is most likely Dr. Araide because Jodie wasn't in Mouri's case files when they were stolen, while Araide was. Vermouth needed the files to give proper testimony at the trial and to act correctly as Araide. Vermouth puts her plan to capture Haibara into action by calling Agasa's house as Dr. Araide saying he wants to take Haibara to a hospital because her cough hasn't gotten better.<ref name="f430p9">[[Volume 42#File 430 - The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood|Volume 42, File 430, page 9: "The Haunted Ship Painted with Blood"]]</ref> Conan is still unsure of Jodie's allegiance until she answers the door before Dr. Araide arrives. Jodie lies to "Haibara" (who is really Conan in disguise) saying that Dr. Araide's car has broken down and she has come in his place.<ref name="f431p3">[[Volume 42#File 431 - The Invisible Man Enters!|Volume 42, File 431, page 3: "The Invisible Man Enters!"]]</ref> Conan catches the lie and realizes that Jodie has been listening to the bugs as well and is acting to protect Haibara, meaning she is against Vermouth. Armed with this info, he asks Jodie to force the truth from Vermouth, and in return he will trust her.<ref name="f432p4">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 4: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

Conan tells Jodie the true scenario of Dr. Araide's family murder case.<ref name="f433p11">[[Volume 42#File 433 - The Truth Behind the Mask|Volume 42, File 433, page 11: "The Truth Behind the Mask"]]</ref> Tomoaki Araide’s father, Yoshiteru Araide, was killed in his bathtub via electrocution. The murder was masterminded by Yoshiteru Araide's second wife, Yoko Araide. She caused a blackout to occur while she was supposedly on the phone, and during the ensuing darkness, snuck to the bathroom and put an electric shaver in the bathtub. She then crept back and asked the housemaid [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] to flip the circuit breaker, causing Yoshiteru Araide to be electrocuted. "Sleeping Kogoro", the police, and the criminal decided to create a false investigation record to protect the conscience of the maid Hikaru. Jodie used this to her advantage and forced Vermouth to reveal that she didn't know the true sequence of events.<ref name="f432p11">[[Volume 42#File 432 - Shinichi Kudo Appears!?|Volume 42, File 432, page 11: "Shinichi Kudo Appears!?"]]</ref>

==== Conan's discovery Chris Vineyard, Sharon Vineyard and Vermouth are the same person ====
[[File:Vermouth protecting Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth disguised as Dr. Araide protects Conan on the hijacked bus. This action puzzled Conan until he realized he had unknowingly saved Vermouth in New York city one year before.]]
At the same time Shinichi and Ran were in New York City, Vermouth disguised as a silver-haired serial killer in order to lure out [[Shuichi Akai]]. Later, Conan suspected the serial killer may have been someone in disguise when he heard that the serial killer’s blood and fingerprints on the stair rails were cleaned up, an action uncharacteristic for someone intending to commit suicide.<ref name=354p3>Manga [[Volume 35]], File 5 (354), pg 3: "Golden Apple 5". Note that Conan had not figured out everything completely at this point.</ref><ref>Manga [[Volume 37]], File 8 (380), pg 6: "White Snow... Black Shadow...". Conan is now convinced that the serial killer was killed. He had begun suspecting Shuichi Akai previously, and he still does at this point after Ran informs him Shuichi is an FBI agent, because Shuichi could be a spy in the FBI from the Black Organization.</ref> Sharon was the only person Conan knew about in the local area with high disguise abilities, so suspicion naturally fell onto her.

After Vermouth disguised as Araide, Conan deduced from the way Vermouth was behaving that she was trying to avoid involving Conan in her plan and was only targeting Haibara. Vermouth as Dr. Araide risked her life to protect Conan in the bus jack case and helped him out in Sato's matchup case. When Conan gets the letter from Vermouth inviting him the off-season Halloween mystery party, he realizes that Vermouth's intentions are to only trap Haibara and that Vermouth is trying to lure Conan to the party to avoid catching him up in her plan.

Conan who didn't exist a year ago has no reason to be “protected” by Vermouth. Conan deduces Vermouth must know his identity as Shinichi and the reason for her “protection” must have to do with something he did as Shinichi. However, Sharon was the only one Shinichi had a connection with, and she is apparently dead. Sharon’s daughter Chris has never met Shinichi and is estranged from Sharon Vineyard so she alone doesn't have an adequate motive to protect Shinichi. Also, it wouldn’t make sense for Chris Vineyard, who isn’t a family friend like Sharon, to be able to recognize Shinichi as Conan; presumably Vermouth saw young Shinichi with Yukiko when she was Sharon.<ref>Manga [[Volume 42]], File 10, pg 5</ref>

All these clues come together when Conan makes the assumption that Sharon Vineyard is Chris Vineyard who disguised as the silver haired serial killer in New York and that she is grateful for being rescued by [[Shinichi]] (Cool Guy / Silver Bullet) and [[Ran]] (Angel).<ref name="f429p9">[[Volume 42#File 429 - The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet|Volume 42, File 429, page 9: "The Full Moon and the Trap at the Banquet"]]. After Conan tells Agasa that Vermouth probably knows who they are, Agasa asks "If they know that much, why haven't they come here to kill you?". Conan's response is, "I don't know the reason, but... but I think I at least know one of the causes."</ref>

== Speculation ==
=== Vermouth's true age ===
Vermouth's age is unknown because her history is largely unclear. We know she has lived as Chris who is 29, and as Sharon whose age is unknown. Her face when she killed Jodie's father 20 years ago was youthful, suggesting she is currently at least 40 years old as long as no deaging has occurred...

=== Vermouth did not use APTX 4869 ===
A popular theory on Vermouth's non-aging is that she used [[APTX 4869]] to achieve her youthfulness since this is the only known substance capable of producing such an effect ([[Silver Bullet]]'s effects are unknown at this point). However, at present there are things that contradict such a notion. Vermouth would have faced near certain death if she had used APTX 4869.<ref name=V2/> Before Vermouth discovered Haibara and Conan, the known members of the Black Organization (besides Sherry) only knew about APTX 4869's lethal effects,<ref>Sherry did not report the results that several of her mice shrank to the greater organization because they have not been able to figure out how Shiho managed to escape the locked room. If Shiho had reported her data, the Organization would have known that shrinking was a possible side effect of APTX 4869 and would have figured out how she escaped and begun looking for a child. Furthermore, if Shiho had reported to the Organization that APTX 4869 had the possibility of leaving the victim alive, the boss and/or Shiho's superiors would not have permitted the drug in situations where the victim, if surviving, could escape as in Shinichi's case.</ref> and it was considered deadly enough that Sherry's superiors employed it as an untraceable murder weapon.<ref name=V2>Gin described APTX 4869 as a poison before using it on Shinichi, "We'll use this, the new poison the Organization developed. You can't find any signs of poison on the body with this stuff..." (V1-1 pg 37) Haibara also mentions that it was used on a number of other people, "Of all the people who took the drug, only your death hadn't been confirmed yet." (V18-9 pg 6 The Org took great pains to ensure the people APTX4869 was used on were dead, evidenced when they sent Shiho out to investigate Shinichi's case twice to confirm his death. (V18-9 pg 6) Additionally, Gin gave the OK for it to be employed in a time sensitive assassination where failure would be unacceptable: "Anyway, our superior has ordered us to kill him before he rats us out. Don't screw up, Pisco! If there is any complication, you can use the 'experimental drug' [APTX 4869]" (V24-7 pg 17) If the boss, who has been stated to be cautious to a fault, knew about the risk that someone might survive APTX 4869, he would not let his subordinates use the drug without letting them know there was a chance it would leave people alive because, if someone escaped, they could talk to the police or someone else and leak the secret of the Black Organization's existence. If Gin knew it failed to work some of the time, he would have never left Shinichi alone while it acted, and would have also gone looking for him after his body disappeared if that was the case. Even Shiho Miyano who was aware APTX 4869 could rarely cause de-aging expected it to kill her. "I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8) Finally, Shiho makes it clear the Organization is not simply trying APTX 4869 out on victims, they are actively using it to kill. "If I reported your condition to the Organization, it's very likely you would have been terminated before I could do something useful." (V18-9 pg 7) Even though Shinichi was an "interesting specimen" (V18-9 pg 7), if the Org was field testing, they would try to capture Shinichi alive for study. Shiho was still project manager when use on humans began and when Shinichi was poisoned, so she would know the Organization's protocol should someone fail to die.</ref> However, given that Vermouth has said depressing things over the course of the series,<ref>"No angel has smiled upon me", "My life represents a series of misfortunes" (V35-1 pg 2)</ref> it is possible Vermouth took APTX 4869 hoping to commit suicide, but she de-aged instead, similar to Haibara's situation<ref>"I thought that since I was going to get killed anyways, I would take the APTX 4869 which I secretly held. To my luck, the drug that I took thinking it would kill me shrunk by body..." (V18-9 pg 8)</ref>. Vermouth could have also gambled on taking APTX 4869 after she recognized the deaged Shiho and Shinichi and then discovered that APTX 4869 was the common connection between them and likely cause of their conditions. However, both the suicide scenario (if it occurred while Shiho was working on the drug) and the gambling scenario fail to explain why no one in the Black Organization has questioned why Vermouth has become younger, especially after Gin saw her true face following the Haunted Ship case<ref>Shuichi's shotgun fire struck Vermouth's face and wounded it which made it apparent she wasn't wearing a mask and thus that was her true face. Vermouth was picked up by Gin in a telephone booth and he would have noticed her facial injury as well.</ref>, and then connected that with APTX 4869 use and Sherry's mysterious escape from the handcuffs and locked room. 
It is possible that Atsushi and Elena Miyano had something to do with Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging (e.g. Vermouth was their guinea pig). This might explain the personal animosity Vermouth feels towards the Miyanos and why she calls their APTX experiment foolish.

Vermouth's de-aging/non-aging may be a result of a project older than Shiho's APTX 4869, like her parents' [[Silver Bullet]], or something else even older than that. This would explain why none of the other members of the Black Organization suspect that APTX 4869 can also cause this effect and thus are unaware of the possibility Shiho de-aged to escape.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:Sharon and Yukiko young.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth with Yukiko approximately 20 years ago.]]
Vermouth, as her alias Sharon Vineyard and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] had a friendly relationship between the time they met under Toichi Kuroba's tutelage until the time Sharon "died". Yukiko had no idea Sharon was leading a double life as an operative in the Black Organization. Yukiko and Sharon seemed to have kept in contact with one another because Yukiko and Sharon both know about events in each others' lives that occurred after Toichi's lessons. Sharon was the one who got tickets for Yukiko, Shinichi, and Ran to the Golden Apple play on Broadway in New York City one year prior to the current time line. Yukiko attended Sharon's funeral. Later, Yukiko sadly accepts Conan's deduction that Sharon and Chris are the same person and a member of the Black Organization.

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{Main|Gin and Vermouth}}
[[File:Vermouth provoking Gin.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth teases Gin with a disguise.]]
Vermouth and [[Gin]] are or were in a sexual relationship with one another.<ref name="CD239a">Conan Drill page 239, "肉体関係" (sexual relations)</ref> They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Vermouth and Gin trusted one another, but some of Gin's trust may have disappeared as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her intentions.<ref name="CD239b">Conan Drill page 239, "同僚・信頼" (Colleagues Trusted)</ref> Gin doesn't mind threatening her with bodily harm, he nearly stabbed her through the head with an icepick on one occasion when she teased him disguised as a waiter, and he later pointed his gun at her when asking how she was connected with Kogoro. She doesn't seem especially bothered by any of these threats however. Because Vermouth is a high ranking member and the boss's favorite, she isn't scared of provoking the other agents, not even Gin who is extremely dangerous and sensitive. She smiled after moving her head to avoid Gin's deadly sweep with an icepick telling him that "She was just joking" which shows that she enjoys teasing him.

==== Sherry ====
[[File:Vermouth episode 230.png|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth terrifies Haibara.]]
Vermouth and [[Ai Haibara|Sherry]] have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Shiho fears Vermouth more than most other members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. If Shiho was in a romantic relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a sexual relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref> During the '[[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|Bell Tree Express arc]]', Vermouth tries to use C4 explosives to kill Sherry without telling anyone about the plan, while Bourbon wanted to take her back alive hinting at an abnormal hatred towards her.

==== The Boss ====
In file 898, Bourbon reveals that there is some sort of connection between Vermouth and the [[The Boss|boss]], implying that her relationship with the boss goes further than merely being his favorite member. Bourbon also notes that he has arranged for her secret to be revealed to the whole Black Organization in case something happens to him, and points out that the other members would be quite surprised if they knew the nature of the relationship.

==== Calvados (deceased) ====
[[Calvados]] was in love with Vermouth, and Vermouth took advantage of his feelings and used him. Vermouth called on Calvados to aid her in disposing with Jodie and capturing Haibara at the shipping yards. After Shuichi got the best of Calvados and Vermouth, she chose to run away, leaving him at the mercy of the FBI. Calvados chose to commit suicide rather than be caught.

==== Chianti and Korn ====
[[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] both hate Vermouth because they believe that Vermouth took advantage of Calvados' feelings for her and used him, leading him to his death. Chianti has been more vocal with her hatred than Korn.

==== Pisco (deceased) ====
Although Vermouth and [[Pisco]] are executive members, Vermouth dislikes and looks down on Pisco despite cooperating with him.<ref name="CD239d">Conan Drill page 239, {{Lang|ja|見下す}} (despise look down on}</ref>

==== Rei Furuya/Bourbon ====
[[Rei Furuya|Rei]]/ Bourbon worked with Vermouth on a plan to determine if [[Shuichi Akai]] was really dead. She made [[Scar Akai|masks that looked like Shuichi's face with a scar]] for him so he could approach Shuichi's friends and colleagues to see their reactions to him. She also interfered with his plans to capture Sherry alive by rigging the location Rei intended to trap Sherry in with explosives to kill her.

==== Vodka====
Throughout the series, Vermouth has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vodka]], unlike other members of the Organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling]] has a bitter hatred for Vermouth because Vermouth murdered her father, but Vermouth doesn't have any particular animosity for Jodie beyond her being a skilled FBI adversary whom she would like to kill. Jodie thinks Vermouth is an entirely evil person. Vermouth was extremely well liked and kind to students and patients while disguised as [[Tomoaki Araide]], so when the real Araide wonders if Vermouth is really a bad person, Jodie takes offense and angrily yells at him, "How can someone be a good person if she kills people with a smile!?"<ref>Manga Volume 45, File 2, pg 18: "The truth behind the remaining desk"</ref>

Twenty years before the current timeline, Vermouth goes to the house of Jodie's father, an FBI agent, and kills him. An eight to nine year old [[Jodie Starling]] walks in while Vermouth was trying to put his glasses back on his body and thinks her father is asleep. Vermouth tells her that she should wait for her father to wake up. When the girl asks her who is she, Vermouth replies "A secret makes a woman, woman". Vermouth burns the house down, thinking Jodie stayed behind and was killed as well. However, the girl goes out of the house to buy orange juice for her father, narrowly escaping death. She also takes her father's glasses with her, preserving the fingerprints Vermouth left on them. When Vermouth finds out Jodie's body was not in the house, she looks for her to kill her, but the FBI enrolled her in witness protection. Jodie later becomes an FBI agent in order to find her father's killer.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Vermouth and [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] don't have much personal animosity for each other in particular despite the fact that they have been hunting one another for some time. Vermouth regards Shuichi as a "silver bullet": someone with the potential to destroy the Black Organization. In accordance with this assessment, she attacks him immediately and preferentially in the confrontation with her at the docks. Shuichi seems to hit a nerve when he called her a rotten apple, wilted on the inside.

==== Kir ====
She suspected [[Hidemi Hondou|Kir]] is a member of the CIA though she didn't tell anyone about it.

=== Others ===
[[File:Vermouth dartboard.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Vermouth's dartboard. Conan's picture has "Cool guy" written on it while Ran's says "Angel."]]
==== Shinichi Kudo ====
After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] helped Ran save Vermouth's life in New York while she was disguised as a serial killer, she nicknames him "Cool guy". Later in the series, after [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] successfully interfered with Vermouth's plan of killing [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], then almost forced her to surrender and take him to find the boss, she gives him another nickname - "Silver bullet" - as she believes that he has the potential to destroy the Black Organization, because he could touch her heart. Generally, Vermouth tries to protect Shinichi when she is able to, even if it means risking her own life. Although Shinichi found out later that he unknowingly rescued Vermouth in New York City and that Vermouth was a friend of Yukiko's, Shinichi doesn't understand why Vermouth would make the promise to give up on hunting Sherry and not inform the Black Organization about Haibara and himself.

==== Ran Mouri ====
After Ran saved Vermouth's life in New York City, Vermouth nicknames [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] "Angel". Earlier, Vermouth, as her Sharon Vineyard role, complained that her life was a series of misfortunes and, "No angel has smiled upon me, not even once."<ref name="f350p18" /> Even though Vermouth in disguise prepared to kill Ran later, Ran stopped Vermouth from taking a fatal fall. Vermouth was touched by this act of kindness. Much later in the story when Ran shielded Haibara from gunfire with her body, Vermouth refused to shoot Ran or allow her to be shot, instead firing around her in an attempt to frighten Ran into releasing Haibara. Although Ran does not know who Vermouth really is, she values the handkerchief that Sharon Vineyard gave her back in New York. She also describes her as "one of only two treasures in her life" (the other being Shinichi Kudo) when Ran asked her if she was or wasn't Azusa Enomoto.

'''{{nihongo|Wataru Takagi|高木渉|Takagi Wataru}}''' is a police sergeant and detective from the [[Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo Metropolitan Police District]]'s Criminal Investigation First Division.

== Background ==
Wataru Takagi is a newcomer to the Tokyo Police Criminal Investigations Division 1, having transferred after the bomber case about three years ago but by the time [[Shinichi Kudo]] first established his reputation as a detective, about two years ago.<ref>Manga Chapters 204-207: Shinichi's First Case, and Chapters 366-368: Parade Bomber Case</ref> His mentor was a senior agent called Date, who died one year before the present timeline. In his last moments Date entrusted Takagi his notebook, which had a ring for his girlfriend Natalie Kuruma hidden. He kept Date's notebook as a personal motivation to be just as good as Date. It was first a year later he realized that Date's girlfriend was Natalie, but it was too late to give her the ring, because she committed suicide soon after Date's death. He was [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Category:Anime_to_manga_characters first introduced in an Anime original] case at an on location film set.

Ever since his joining the force, Takagi (like so many of his other colleagues) has harbored romantic feelings for [[Miwako Sato]]. While Sato appeared to have taken a liking to him as well, Takagi was easily discouraged by the way she dealt with other male colleagues, including their superior Inspector Megure (though in that case it was more a daughterly affection to a father figure, since Sato's father had died when she was very young).<ref>Manga Chapter 233: Countdown</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 269: Time's Up</ref> In time, thanks to several severe incidents - and despite the interference of the other officers in the department, chiefly [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] -, their professional relationship grew more personal,<ref>Manga Chapters 267-269: Sato's Father Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 366-368: Parade Bomber Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 369-373: Serial Bomber Case</ref><ref>Manga Chapters 404-406: Missing Ring Case</ref> and finally Sato and Takagi shared their first kiss after he had been hospitalized in the course of a difficult case<ref>Episode 683: The Life-Threating Broadcast of Love (entering the scene)</ref> and kissed the second (and third!) time in Episode 683 when he almost died in a bomb accident.

Takagi is among the investigators who receive the most near fatal experiences. That includes, among many things:
* Handcuffed to the window of a burning warehouse.
* Trapped in a tower containing a countdown bomb.
* Held hostages and shot by the criminal.
* Tied on a plank on a roofless two story building containing a countdown bomb, while the temperature outside is -20 Celsius degree.

Although at some point, Takagi briefly develops PTSD, he nevertheless relentlessly pursues justice, even if it endangers his life.

== Personality ==
While he is initially self-conscious and bumbling, Takagi is a dedicated member of the Tokyo Police Force and shows promise as a good officer as the series progresses. He is one of the few officers who trusts [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s judgments the most, listening to him at case scenes to find important evidence and sometimes even letting Conan take the lead in their investigation (the case with [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] handcuffed to the wrong suspect in the bathroom being a good example).<ref>Manga Chapter 232: Finding Evidence</ref>

Takagi has a strong intuition and sense of justice, and is very honorable. He has a strong drive to protect others, partially based in his profession as an officer, and partially based on a self-sacrificing trait in his personality. He is always very polite, even when alarmed, and defers to the judgment of his partner Miwako Sato not only because she is his senior, but because he truly respects her. 

His hobbies are playing the maracas<ref>Manga Chapter 620: The Vanished Blunt Weapon</ref> and following the international wrestling scene, being a fan of wrestlers such as [[Wikipedia: Bruiser Brody|Bruiser Brody]] and [[Wikipedia: Keiji Mutoh|Keiji Mutoh]], and recognizing a move that Ran does as the "Shining Wizard," a finishing move of Mutoh's.<ref>Manga Chapter 388: Wolf's Shadow</ref> In summary, his hobbies involve a lot of martial arts and sports.

== Plot overview ==
=== Actor's Apartment Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|170]]-[[Volume 18|172]], Anime: [[The Historical Actor Murder Case|102-103]]) ===
Takagi makes his debut in the Manga series.

=== Treadmill Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 21|208-210]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story|146-147]]) ===
This is the first case to show detective Takagi’s romantic affection for a female police officer, [[Miwako Sato]].

Initially, Takagi is tasked with the mission of recording the [[Detective Boys]]' testimonies regarding the events at the [[The Old Blue Castle Investigation Case|Blue Castle]]. Just as they're about to begin, the children notice his untidy clothing and wonder if he doesn't have a girlfriend. [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] offers to introduce to him his cousin's granddaughter, but Takagi awkwardly declines, stating that he has already had someone that he likes, right before detective [[Miwako Sato]] enters the room. Takagi keeps blushing, and his unnatural manner in front of Sato makes the Detective Boys think that she is really his girlfriend. However, both of them denies that this is true. Takagi wonders why Sato didn't go to assist [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] in the bank robbery case, and learns that the bank manager, together with his wife, will arrive at the Police Headquarter. Sato asks Takagi whether he has heard anything from her friend Yumi. He silently recalls Yumi's words, about what Sato told her when she was drunk, that the person she likes is someone from the first investigation division, who may very well be Takagi himself.

The bank manager, Keizo Masuo, comes by himself and decides to call his wife. During the phone call, Takagi and the others suddenly hear the wife's scream. He, Sato, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and Keizo rush to Keizo's house and find his wife's dead body. The person to be in charge of this murder case is Inspector [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], a police officer who has just been promoted recently. When Sato sarcastically suggests that Shiratori may as well consider her "a possible wedding match", Takagi misunderstands and begins to suspect that the person whom Sato said she has feelings for is none other than Shiratori. He keeps thinking of unreal scenarios with Shiratori and Sato being together, and isn't able to fully concentrate on the case.

Later, with the help from Conan, the trick and the identity of the killer are uncovered, and the case goes to an end. After turning down the invitation of Shiratori, Sato invites Takagi to go out and have ramen for dinner, to which he accepts happily. Unexpectedly, a drunken Megure comes up and asks them to go for a drink with him at the bar, and Sato immediately approves of the idea despite the invitation to Takagi earlier. Because of this, Takagi suddenly suspects that Sato's love interest is in fact Inspector Megure, and declines the offer.

The case ends with a depressed Takagi lying on the table and being unable to do anything, even though he still hasn't taken the Detective Boys' testimonies yet.

=== Genta's Shot (Manga: [[Volume 55|567-569]], Anime: [[Genta's Certain Kill Shot|477]]) ===
In the anime, episode 477, at 11:50, Takagi is heard speaking numbers in French. In one of the Japanese Audio/English subtitles, his words are translated as "eins, zwei, drei," which is German, but he is actually saying "un, deux, trois." The victim was German, and Agasa says that when the dying victim (who spoke German, English and Japanese) was asked who the culprit was, he answered in his native tongue. Megure then turns to Takagi, who starts counting in French. Agasa then corrects him, saying "That's French," and then proceeds to count from one to eleven in German, solving the case. This exchange does not take place in the manga. This could suggest that Takagi is bilingual in French and Japanese (or at least took French in school).

[[File:681-7.png|thumb|200px|Takagi kidnapped.]]
[[File:Takagi and Sato second kiss.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Takagi and Sato's second kiss.]]
Takagi is kidnapped by a mystery man misunderstanding he is [[Wataru Date]] who made his daughter commit suicide. Around a year after the death of his friend and mentor Date, Takagi discovered that a suicide victim Natalie Kuruma was Date's girlfriend. Since the police investigation assumed that she killed herself due to having been dump, Takagi concluded that Natalie didn't know that Date had passed away in a traffic accident and decided to contact Natalie's next-of-kind to inform them of the truth. Since Natalie's parents had passed away, Takagi contacted the one who claimed her possesions, a colleague from English conversation school and old friend, Ryusaku Fuemoto. But due to that Natalie had never told her family her boyfriend's family name and because Date and Takagi had the same given name, Ryusaku mistook Takagi as the boyfriend who dumped Natalie, and lured him to Hokkaido. Police officers including [[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] and [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] find their way to save Takagi with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s help. [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] saves Takagi on time before the bomb under him exploded.
{{clear}}

=== A Missing Item Case (Manga: [[Volume 82|869-871]], Anime: [[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 9|748-749]]) ===
Takagi sees Sato is hesitates when thinking about that she's expecting some lost. Takagi thinks that she might be pregnant. The thing Sato was actually missing was her red badge which is given to all officers in the 1st Division. The whole pregnancy situation was a huge misunderstanding.

=== A Killer in Ramen Ogura (Manga: [[Volume 88|930]], Anime: [[Ramen So Good, It's to Die For 2|828]]) ===
Takagi and Sato put on disguise to catch the culprit at a ramen shop. It's again stated that they're sexually active, as Sato tells Takagi that she plans to work out *intensely* that night to burn out calories (implying that she wants to have sex with him) and is mad when he misses the point of her remark.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Prior to manga appearances ===
Takagi was originally introduced as an [[anime]] only character to assist [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] as well as [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] with the solutions to cases. He was inserted into both Manga canon episodes as well as TV originals. He appeared in 23 episodes spanning 20 cases before the [[The Historical Actor Murder Case|anime adaptation]] of his [[Volume 18#Actor.27s Apartment Case|first official Manga appearance]] aired.

=== On Location, TV Drama Murder Case (Anime: [[Episode 21|21]])===
Takagi's first appearance in the [[anime]] series.

=== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11#TV Station Murder Case|102-104]], Anime: [[Episode 31|31]])===
The first Manga canon episode to feature Takagi despite him still being an Anime Original character at the time.

=== [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan]] ===
When [[Lupin III]] arrived in Japan to steal a jewel called the Cherry Sapphire, [[Inspector Zenigata]] of the ICPO asked to use some of Inspector Megure's officers as part of a plan to prevent the theft. After seeing Miwako eagerly volunteer to join Zenigata's team (as Lupin was her first love), Takagi took part in the operation as well. However, at the scene of the planned crime, it was revealed that Takagi was actually Lupin, who had replaced Takagi after stealing his clothing and identity. After the heist, [[Yumi Miyamoto]] and [[Naeko Miike]] discovered the real Takagi stripped, bound and gagged inside a parking garage.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Miwako Sato ===
[[File:Episode 535 - Sato and Takagi kiss.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sato and Takagi.]]
{{main|Wataru Takagi and Miwako Sato}}
His affection for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]] is a driving force of his character development. While his insecurity and comical outside interference regularly get in the way, he slowly manages to win her heart through his dedication, honesty and sincerity - traits Sato had also admired in her late colleague [[Jinpei Matsuda]]. Sato finally kisses Takagi after he has been severely wounded while protecting others.

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Takagi has come the closest of any of the Division One members to finding out [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]'s true identity. In the Tokyo Tower Bomber Case, while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime, [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]], as Conan, told Takagi that he would answer Takagi's questions about his real identity "on the other side." Takagi has also come to acknowledge Conan's sharp mind and intellect, taking Conan's observations seriously and even allowing him to accompany him to question suspects, most notably during the New Scar and the Whistling Man Case where he has the rest of the Detective Boys remain in the car. He also fully supports Takagi's relationship with Sato, at one point orchestrated a plan to foil Shiratori's attempt of an arranged marriage with Sato. When asked for reasons, he didn't answer, but quietly relate the experience with Ran's relationship.

=== Kazunobu Chiba ===
Takagi and [[Kazunobu Chiba]] always work together on murder cases. Chiba is also the only male officer in their department who has had no obsessive crush on Sato, and in fact supported Takagi in his romantic endeavors on several occasions.

=== Wataru Date ===
[[Wataru Date|Date]] was Takagi's mentor and close friend who passed away in a traffic accident. As the pronunciation of his name was the same as Wataru Takagi's, Takagi and Date were nicknamed "the Wataru brothers" (ワタル・ブラザーズ). He is very loyal to his late friend's memory, as demonstrated when he tried to clear out misunderstanding around the death of Date's girlfriend. And he feels guilty in not living up to what he believes was Date's last wish; Giving Natalie a ring hidden in the notebook. He couldn't give her the ring, because Natalie had committed suicide soon after Date's death.

=== Other ===
In the 16th movie, "The Eleventh Striker," Takagi mentions that he saw a football (soccer) game with his nephew, but does not give a name. This implies that he has at least one sibling.

== Character popularity ==

* He ranked 9th in the SDB 80+'s poll "Characters you want to marry the most", with 446 votes.

== Name origin ==
* Takagi is named after his voice actor. In the anime he was originally a nameless character called "Detective A" who would appear in the background in some episodes<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1603/29/news079.html|title=声優・高木渉が「PON!」に生出演　高木刑事＆元太の声で映画「名探偵コナン」をアピール|date=2016-03-29|publisher=https://nlab.itmedia.co.jp|accessdate=2019-06-04}}</ref>. However while recording for episode [[Night Road Murder Case|episode 66]], Megure's voice actor [[Chafurin]] adlibbed asking Detective A "What's your name?", to which Takagi's voice actor mistakenly responded with his own name and replied "It's Takagi" <ref>{{cite web|url=https://otapol.com/2016/01/post-5345.html|title=大河ドラマ『真田丸』に『コナン』の高木刑事が出陣中!?　ベテラン声優・高木渉の人気にNHKも東スポも驚く！|date=2016-01-17|publisher=https://otapol.com|accessdate=2019-06-04}}</ref>. While this ad-lib was not kept in for the airing, the name stuck and is used in this episode and beyond. Gosho included the name Wataru Takagi since it is also the name of a Detective created by Kenzo Kitakata named Yoshibumi '''Taka'''gi where only the first kanji in the surname is similar (高 - Taka).

'''{{nihongo|Kazunobu Chiba|千葉和伸|Chiba Kazunobu}}''', commonly referred to as '''{{nihongo|Detective Chiba|千葉刑事|Chiba-keiji}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Chiba is a detective in the Tokyo district, and very often works alongside [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and [[Wataru Takagi]]. His main duty appears to be to obtain information outside of the crime scenes. Sometimes, he will even go out and substitute as inspector when Megure is busy on another case. He is a childhood friend and the love interest of [[Naeko Miike]].

== Background ==
[[File:Young Chiba.PNG|thumb|left|200px|A young Chiba.]]
Initially, he was introduced with a minor cameo in the anime version of [[The Final Screening Murder Case]]. Like several other Anime Original characters, he was [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Category:Anime_to_manga_characters later introduced in the manga] and has taken on a larger role. In many of his early appearances he is depicted as rather average build, but later depicted as overweight. Chiba currently works in the Second violent crimes investigative division, section 3.<ref>Manga Chapter 792 page 4</ref> His duties usually consist of questioning non-suspect characters outside of the crime scene, and running evidence back to the lab as well as returning with the results. A majority of his appearances happen just over half way through a case where he returns to the crime scene with a vital clue needed to solve the case. He has a strong moral compass that usually puts the law above everything. If any one were to break the law they must be punished, even himself.

Chiba has an older brother who worked as an employee at a video rental store. Because of his job, the brother had to open the heads of VHS tapes to check if they had been rewound properly. Chiba has picked up knowledge of VHS tapes as well as this habit of opening their heads to check them.

Chiba attended [[Setting#Teitan Elementary School|Teitan Elementary School]], in the 20th graduating class, 2 classes below [[Sumiko Kobayashi]]. While still in elementary school he was a part of the broadcasting committee and was put in charge of making a mini-audio drama, which was successful. As a result, he tried to put together a short Tokusatsu (live action special effects) drama based on the [[Kamen Yaiba]] show he watched. With the help of fellow classmate [[Naeko Miike]] rallying the other members, he was able to complete it. He began to suspect that she may like him so he wrote her a love letter, which she responded to by saying that there was a hidden message left in the video room with her answer. Her family then moved away and Chiba was unable to find her answer.

In the present day, he returned to the school and with the help of the [[Detective Boys]] found her response. It was something that only Chiba would have been likely to find because since childhood, he has a tendency to sweat often. Recently Naeko, who joined the police force because of Chiba, has transferred to Tokyo as a patrol woman who works with [[Yumi Miyamoto]]. However, Chiba doesn't seem to recognize her despite having several chances to do so. After realizing that Chiba doesn't recognize her, Naeko has been trying to keep it a secret until he realizes it for himself.<ref name=Naeko>Manga Chapters 741~742: The VHS of Memory Case</ref>

== Personality ==
Chiba can be serious, but he is shown to be a mostly light-hearted officer. He loves to eat and is sometimes shown stuffing his face, usually with burgers and sodas, but usually this is merely done for comic effect. Chiba can be very supportive, and is a big help, especially for using his size to catch criminals. He, as well as [[Yumi Miyamoto]], is very supportive for [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]]'s relationship and feelings for [[Miwako Sato|Sato]], and is one of the few officers in the Tokyo district to not get involved in [[Ninzaburo Shiratori|Shiratori]]'s schemes to get the couple to break up.

A very notable trait of Chiba praised by his colleagues in Law Enforcement is that he would always follow and uphold the law no matter what the circumstances are, especially when it is he who breaks it. This is one of the main reasons why Naeko liked him in the first place; it was because he scolded her over a traffic violation, saying that doing the wrong thing will develop into a habit that's hard to get rid of. This event also inspired Naeko to join the Police Force as a traffic cop.

He has been a huge fan of ''tokusatsu'' shows like ''[[Kamen Yaiba]]'' and ''[[Gomera]]'' for a long time, and was a member of the broadcasting committee at his elementary school. For a project, he and the other club members made a tokusatsu film called ''Kamen Baiya''. Since then his enjoyment tokusatsu has grown and his apartment seems to be covered in figurines based on the characters.

Chiba seems to be very knowledgeable about Betamax tapes He has a habit of checking VHS tapes to see if they were rewound. He believes he picked this habit up from his older brother.<ref name=Naeko></ref>

=== [[Naeko Miike]] ===
{{main|Kazunobu Chiba and Naeko Miike}}
Chiba and [[Naeko Miike|Naeko]] were childhood friends and attended Teitan Elementary together where they both joined the school broadcasting committee (although Naeko only joined because Chiba did). One time Naeko tried to walk over a street despite there was red light, but Chiba stopped her and lectured her about bad habit, which caused her to cry, but also impressed her with his morality. When Naeko was to move away, Chiba wrote down his feelings in a love letter. Naeko wrote her response on the side of a VHS in the committee storage room, hoping Chiba's sweating habit would cause the message "I like you, too" to show up on his hands after grabbing the tape. Unfortunately, Chiba couldn't find the right tape and never got the message.

On the day of his elementary school reunion, Chiba returned to the school and searched for the tape again. With the help of Conan and the [[Detective Boys]], he finally finds the message and heads for the reunion. Unfortunately Naeko doesn't show, and he hears from a former classmate that she said she is "now with the one she loved". Depressed, Chiba immediately leaves and finds a lady traffic cop giving him a ticket. When the officer offers to forget about the ticket since he is a fellow officer, Chiba scolds her for offering to ignore his illegal parking. Chiba leaves with the ticket, but then wonders how the girl knew he was a detective. The officer turns out to be Naeko, who has just been transferred to the police headquarters in Tokyo (working under Yumi) and looks forward to working with the one she loves.<ref name=Naeko></ref>

=== [[Sakurako Yonehara]] ===
Chiba remembers that the person who created the message on the VHS tape (Naeko) was good friends with Sakurako, and they were always together. Sakurako was in the grade level below Chiba.

=== [[Chiba family|Chiba's older brother]] ===
Chiba's older brother worked at a video store where he was required to open the heads of VHS tapes to see if the video had been rewound. Chiba has picked this habit up from him because he thought it was cool.

== Name origin ==
Chiba's name comes from his voice actor [[Isshin Chiba]]. The kanji for {{nihongo|Isshin|一伸}} can also be pronounced as "Kazunobu", which was the voice actor's original name. [[Gosho Aoyama|Gosho]] gave the character a given name with different kanji that are still pronounced as {{nihongo|"Kazunobu" |和伸}}. His original physical appearance was modeled after him as well.

SDB70+ : Q73: Have you established detective Chiba’s first name? 
A: His voice actor’s is Isshin… It might just become Isshin. But everyone with “一” (ichi) in their name is a cool guy… I don’t know what to do. (laughs)

He effectively removed the "一" (ichi) in {{nihongo|Isshin Chiba|千葉一伸}} and changed it to a "和" which can be read as "Kazu" for the original name {{nihongo|Kazunobu Chiba|千葉和伸}}.

'''{{nihongo|Yukiko Kudo|工藤有希子|Kudō Yukiko}}''' is the mother of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with her husband [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]], one of few characters who [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|knows]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku. She was also close friends with fellow actress, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]], both being excellent masters of disguise.

== Background ==
Yukiko became internationally famous as a talented actress after having played the part of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakamoto_Ryoma Sakamoto Ryoma's] older sister Otome in a historical drama.<ref>Manga Chapter 733: ''[[Volume 70#Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt|Kaitou Kid and Ryoma's Gunbelt]]''</ref> 

Despite her then-tender years as a student at Teitan High, Yukiko had a prospectively prosperous future in the film industry.<ref>Manga Chapter 414: Mama's Rival!?</ref> Thus it came as a major surprise to the world when, practically out of the blue, she married [[Yusaku Kudo]] and retired from acting.<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref> She still retains good contacts in the acting and film industry, however, and has since become known as the "Night Baroness" (named after one of her husband's characters) after babbling out some clues provided by Yusaku on a live television show which helped solve a criminal case.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

During her acting years, Yukiko went to a famous [[Toichi Kuroba|stage magician and disguise artist]] to learn the finer arts of disguise for a role she was preparing to play. There she met another actress who would become one of her closest friends, [[vermouth|Sharon Vineyard]]. Until Sharon's (supposed) death, the two women stayed in touch, and Yukiko even attended her funeral, but her appearance was overshadowed by a small scandal involving Sharon's 'daughter', Chris Vineyard. Yukiko has since learned from her son about Chris/Sharon's secret life, a revelation which troubles her deeply.<ref>Manga Chapter 341: Golden Apple 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 433: The Truth Behind The Mask</ref> She has since confronted her former friend with her knowledge, partially to know for sure, but also to save the life of [[Ai Haibara]], who was being threatened by the [[Black Organization]].<ref>[[Volume 78#Mystery Train|Manga Chapter 818-824: Mystery Train]]</ref>

Despite a certain rivalry for popularity in their high school years, which had culminated in a Miss Teitan Election, Yukiko is also a close friend of [[Eri Kisaki]], and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter [[Ran Mouri]], a perfect match for her son.<ref>Manga Chapter 342: Golden Apple 2</ref>

== Personality ==
[[Image:Eri and Yukiko.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Yukiko and her childhood friend, [[Eri Kisaki]].]]
Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is bubbly, overconfident and attention-seeking, and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She can be prone to jealousy over Yusaku's occasionally flirtatious behavior, and can demonstrate impulsive tendencies. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: whenever her son ''dares'' to call her "oba-san" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt" or "old lady"), she sets up such a furious face that Conan must quickly correct himself by calling her "onee-san" ("older sister" or "young girl").
[[File:783-1.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko showing her displeasure at being called "obasan".]]
However, despite her faults, Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.<ref>{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=14 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1997-03-18 |isbn=4-09-125044-0 |chapter=File 4 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> She takes pride in being an excellent actress and a mistress of disguise, able to fool even close friends and family with her skills. She is also willing to pressure Shinichi to practice his role, so he won't embarrass her.

Shuichi had learned to how to apply the disguise himself satisfactorily, which makes Yukiko a little disappointed since she has no reason to meet Shuichi anymore. Conan becomes annoyed that Yukiko liked seeing Shuichi a little too much. Yukiko nearly outed Conan's secret identity as Shinichi in front of the three [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] agents.

{{main|Kudo family}}

==== Yusaku Kudo ====
{{main|Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo}}
Not much is known about Yusaku and Yukiko's backstory before they get married. The most notable scene was from 20 years ago, when Yusaku and Yukiko met in a high end restaurant. Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Yukiko can be really angry with Yusaku if he has flirtatious behavior, but they truly love each other.

==== Conan Edogawa / Shinichi Kudo ====
Shinichi is her son. When Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yukiko staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yusaku and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization he was trying to investigate. As a mother, she truly cares for his wellbeing (sometimes too much, much to Conan's annoyance) and assists him when it comes to cases. Nevertheless, their relationship is quite dynamic: Yukiko enjoys teasing Shinichi/Conan; in addition, she sometimes disguises to fool him. In return, Conan often makes sarcastic remarks about Yukiko being old (obasa-san) and retired for many years, which earned him death glares and even physical blows from Yukiko.

=== Friends ===
==== Eri Kisaki ====
20 years ago from the current timeline, she and Eri were rivals in Miss Teitan, a beauty contest that shook the country. Yukiko had a charming beauty that attracted men, while Eri had a more bookish look, relying her advantage on academic talents. The vote was split at 20000 votes for each before the competition was canceled, with [[Mouri Kogoro]] having the last uncounted ticket.

In later years, despite their previous intense competition, the two are actually in good terms with each other, supporting the other party emotionally. On relationships of their children, Shinichi and Ran, Yukiko shows her full support, at one point even calls Ran her future daughter in law; however, Eri is more reluctant. Eri doesn't like Yukiko's hand off approach with Shinichi and constantly reminds Ran to be beware of Shinichi, remarking on her rocky marriage as reference.

==== Ran Mouri ====
Yukiko treats [[Ran]] like her own daughter in law, and often teases her about her romantic relationship with Shinichi. She is also able to read through her thoughts; in episode 96, when Ran suspected that Conan is Shinichi. Despite that Yukiko covered for Conan telling Ran that Conan is a smart kid who learnt deductive skills from Shinichi, Yukiko found the last smile that Ran made was a bit weird, realising that the girl wasn't convinced about Yukiko's answer; which turned out to be true in the [[Desperate Revival]] arc.

==== Shuichi Akai ====
Yukiko helped Shuichi Akai go into hiding after he faked his death. She taught him how to disguise himself and cooking. She likes visiting him every week.

== Name origin ==
The name Yukiko Fujimine ({{lang|ja|藤峰}}) name comes from [[Lupin III]] character [[Fujiko Mine|'''Fuji'''ko '''Mine''']] and actress [[Wikipedia:二階堂有希子|"Yukiko" Nikaido]] (the original voice of Fujiko). Her alias, "Fumiyo" ({{lang|ja|文代}}), comes from Fumiyo Akechi, wife of [[Rampo Edogawa]]'s [[Kogoro Akechi]].

== Trivia ==
* Aoyama has stated in Super Digest Book 10+ that Yusaku and Yukiko met because Yukiko had been chosen to play the main character of a drama based on one of Yusaku's books.
* In Episode 286, it is revealed that Yukiko has (or had) a California Driver's License. Her ID is 471108628. This would seem to be inconsistent with the actual ID number system used by the State of California in issuing driver's licenses, in which only eight digits are used.

'''{{nihongo|Yusaku Kudo|工藤優作|Kudō Yūsaku}}''' is the father of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and, along with his wife [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], is one of only a few characters to [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|know]] he is [[Conan Edogawa]]. He is also a world famous novelist and the creator of the popular [[Night Baron]] series.

== Background ==
[[File:Young Yusaku.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Young Yusaku.]]
Yusaku Kudo was already noted for his sharp intellect and deductive abilities at a young age. He met Inspector Juzo Megure and became a good friend and valuable adviser to him in solving very difficult cases.<ref name="Call">Manga Chapter 204: The Initial Call</ref> While he often assisted the police, Yusaku's primary aspiration was that of a writer. Quickly attracting acclaim in his early twenties as a young novelist, he encountered the girl whom he resolved to marry: [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], an already famed and beautiful actress. While taking her out in an expensive restaurant to make his proposal, he was involved in a murder case which he solved brilliantly, and right afterward proposed to a startled Yukiko - which she accepted (twenty years later, his son [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] would become involved in a follow-up of the exact same case in the exact same restaurant, but unlike Yusaku he wouldn't be able to profess his feelings to his own love, [[Ran Mouri]]).<ref>Manga Chapter 260: The Memorable Place</ref>

Yusaku's detective stories have won international acclaim, especially his novels involving the character called Night Baron, who has become a popular cultural item. He prefers to be known as a novelist, despite multiple demonstrations of a Mycroftian tendency to solve a case before Shinichi reaches the same conclusions (as in the OVA where Shinichi was trying to prove the alibi involving, supposedly, a black labrador dog). In the course of his career, he also encountered the first [[Toichi Kuroba|Kaitou Kid]] and struck a sort of competitive friendship with him; it is implied that Yusaku knew Kid's identity, but chose to chase Kid only during heists in order to foil the theft and no further.<ref name="Code">Manga Chapter 573: Setting Sun</ref>

After Shinichi becomes Conan, Yusaku learns from [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] what occurred, and stages an elaborate false kidnapping to drive home to Conan what the stakes are if he is caught by the [[Black Organization]]. He offers to take Conan to a new life in America, but understands when Shinichi refuses due to a desire for independence and feelings for Ran - though Yusaku doesn't expect that resolve to last.<ref name="Kidnapping">{{cite book |last=Aoyama |first=Gosho |title=Detective Conan |volume=6 |publisher=Shogakukan |date=1995-07-18 |isbn=4-09-123376-7 |chapter=File 1 |language=Japanese |location=Tokyo|}}</ref> He and Yukiko occasionally check up on Conan, but seem content to respect Shinichi's wishes to pursue the Black Organization without their help.

== Personality ==
Yusaku Kudo possesses a very sharp intellect and observation skills, traits which his son inherited, though Yusaku's own abilities remain more well-honed. He demonstrates in multiple cases an ability to operate one step ahead of both Shinichi and criminals, but he chooses to not get involved unless Conan appears unable solve the case alone in time to save the intended victim.<ref name="Train">Manga Chapter 218: The Last Station</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 752: A Troublesome and Difficult Case</ref><ref>Episode (English #99-102: The Cornered Detective)</ref> His success as a novelist is to a large part based on his keen understanding of the criminal mind, as his most famous recurring character is a criminal. While he is an excellent author, he will occasionally blow off his editors in order to do other things, such as travel with Yukiko.<ref name="Kidnapping"></ref> He is very laid back and calm, never seen to lose his temper. Some might think him too laid back, as he often took his son to crime scenes before Shinichi was eleven,<ref name="Call"></ref> and showed no concern over six-year-old Shinichi dragging Ran and Agasa into a potentially dangerous area of town to investigate a code.<ref>Manga Chapter 572: Broad Daylight</ref> The only time he has been shown to be caught off-guard or stressed by a situation is after the false kidnapping, when Shinichi alerts Yusaku's editors to his location and they force him to make up for missing his deadlines.<ref name="Kidnapping"></ref> His less tolerable personality traits include a certain cockiness and a very bad touch at making humor.<ref name="Train"></ref>

Yusaku loves to read, and is the one who compiled the massive library of mystery fiction Shinichi read as a child. His love of Sherlock Holmes is briefly explored in the non-[[canon]] 6th movie, '[[The Phantom of Baker Street]]', wherein Yusaku and Agasa helped develop one of the Cocoon VR modules as 19th Century London and included Holmes, Watson, and Irene Adler as non-playable characters modeled visually after Yusaku, Agasa, and Yukiko, respectively.

Yukiko was angry as this, but Yusaku tells her they should respect Shinichi's decision and says mischievously that he had another reason to stay in Japan. Later on a plane, Yukiko began to worry about Shinichi, but Yusaku calmed her down and told her that Shinichi will be alright and believes that he will come back to them. People from Foreigner Magazine find Yusaku, who was surprised that they found him. He asks how they found him. The Foreigner Magazine people said that Shinichi told them.

In the present day [[Ran Mouri]], [[Sonoko Suzuki]], and [[Masumi Sera]] stumble across a body that also has a bloody "death" kanji next to it. They meet up with Conan and [[Subaru Okiya]] at the Kudo home and go through Yusaku's files. A combination of information from the past and present lead them to the solution that Yusaku had come up with all those years ago. The death had been a accident, but the first person who discovered the body, a young boy, had accidentally created the character, by placing candy next to the body, so the blood would flow around it and shape into the 'death' character.

After Bourbon reveals the trick that allowed Akai to survive, he gets a call from his co-workers announcing that they had encountered Akai while trying to capture [[Jodie Starling]] and [[Andre Camel]]. Bourbon apologizes to the "Subaru" and leaves. Afterword it is revealed that this was a new plan orchestrated by Conan with Yusaku wearing the Subaru disguise. The Yusaku on the TV in the background, receiving a Macademy Award, was actually [[Yukiko Kudo]] also in a disguise.

Yusaku observed a murder crime, quickly solved it and suddenly proposed to a startled Yukiko, which she accepted. Despite occasional quarrels, they truly love each other and Yusaku fully supports Yukiko on her connections with the film industry after her retirement.

=== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ===
Shinichi is his son and learns detective work from him. Yusaku began taking Shinichi to crime scenes as soon as Shinichi was 7 years old. Overall, Yusaku is a better detective, both from his experience and his astute observations that Shinichi sometimes misses. Yusaku fully supports Shinichi's goal and gives him the needed independence to solve cases, only dropping hints or stepping in when it is absolutely necessary. Although Yusaku and Yukiko left their son in Japan 3 years ago when they moved to America, they still supported him financially and occasionally came back to Japan to check their son's wellbeing.

When Shinichi shrunk into Conan, Yusaku staged a fake kidnapping scheme with Yukiko and Professor Agasa to make Shinichi realize the danger of the organization Shinichi was trying to investigate. He offered to bring Shinichi to America, which Shinichi refused. Since then, he still acted the same way towards Conan as before and limited his involvement with Black Organization, only helping his son on a single case by disguising as Subaru Okiya to fool Tooru Amuro.

'''{{nihongo|Hiroshi Agasa|阿笠博士|Agasa Hiroshi}}''', most commonly referred to as '''{{nihongo|Professor Agasa|阿笠博士|Agasa-hakase}}''', and known in the [[Funimation]] dub as '''Hershel Agasa''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Agasa is [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s next door neighbor and family friend. The first person to [[List of characters who know Conan's identity|learn]] that [[Conan Edogawa]] is actually Shinichi, he invented all of Conan's special [[gadgets]] as well as the [[Detective Boys]]' badges and flashlight-watches.

== Background ==
[[Image:Agasa's_house.JPG‎|thumb|left|200px|Agasa's house]]
Hiroshi Agasa is an inventor and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]'s next-door neighbor. He makes his living with a wide number of patents and inventions, including video games (of which the [[Detective Boys]] are enthusiastic test players). While many of his inventions are useless or have even damaged his in-house research laboratory, Agasa has been successful enough to live in a large house and even rebuild it when necessary. He has been a friend of Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] since their childhood years.

After Shinichi was shrunk by the [[APTX 4869]], the first person he met and entrusted himself to was Agasa. After having been convinced that the little boy was Shinichi, Agasa was also the first one to advise Shinichi to exercise caution in his pursuit of the [[Black Organization]]. He also helped Shinichi in establishing his new identity as [[Conan Edogawa]], including constructing several gadgets which help Shinichi in carrying on his detective work surreptitiously. In order to perfect Conan's cover, he also enrolled him in [[Teitan Elementary]] and thus came to know the children who would form the [[Detective Boys]]. When [[Ai Haibara|Shiho Miyano]] fled the clutches of the Black Organization, she fled to Shinichi's house but collapsed from exhaustion near Agasa's doorstep. Agasa subsequently took her in, learned about her true identity and helped her establish her new identity as Ai Haibara. He also entrusted Shinichi's parents with the secret about what has happened to their son.

Ever since these beginnings, Agasa has been an invaluable friend for Shinichi and the Detective Boys as a confidant, paternal friend, and someone to hang out with. He often takes the children on trips, most of which turn into criminal cases instead.

Agasa owns a Volkswagen Beetle for at least 10 years, but it is quite unreliable and often breaks down in trips. At one point, he owns a Persian rug which can be sold for money to replace his Beetle, but since the rug was involved in a theft, the police is investigating and Agasa hasn't been able to sell it.

By knowing Shinichi and Shiho's identity, Agasa is aware of the existence of Black Organization as well as their crimes. While not confronting them directly, Agasa has been quite active in helping Shinichi and his allies planning against them. Agasa is entrusted by Shinichi when it comes to such cases.

=== Childhood and relatives ===
Agasa went to Teitan Elementary<ref name=410p>Manga Volume 40, File 7, Agasa's First Love</ref> and then Okuho middle school.<ref>Manga chapter 572 page 10</ref> He met [[Fusae Campbell|Fusae Kinoshita]] during sixth grade, though she moved away during the fall term and his family moved from Tokyo to the countryside soon after the term ended.<ref> Manga chapter 410 pages 08-10</ref>

Agasa has a rich accountant uncle named Kurisuke Agasa who died 50 years before the present timeline at the age of 38.<ref>Manga chapter 111 page 06</ref> The uncle liked gadgets. Kurisuke's sister, Teiko, was alive until a year ago when she passed away at age 76.<ref>Manga chapter 111 page 07</ref> Agasa’s cousin’s granddaughter is of the right age to be introduced to Takagi.<ref>Manga chapter 208</ref>

== Personality ==
Hiroshi Agasa is a jovial, caring and outgoing person and has many friends in his community, a fact which helped him in his covering up of Conan's and Haibara's true origins (he simply claims that they are the children of his friends and acquaintances). Agasa is highly intelligent, having achieved at least one advanced degree and managing to invent a slew of useful gadgets. He is especially proud of his inventions, and their quality must have been recognized, since they have already been used during official events<ref>[[Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2|Episode 157: Metropolitan Police Detective Love Story 2]] where his "Tropical Rainbow" explosive is used during a celebration to destroy the Haido City museum.</ref>. While a bachelor, he is very paternal and enjoys the company of the [[Detective Boys]]. Agasa has a special love for pasta and tomato juice.

== Appearance ==
Agasa is an average size man with slightly-overweight frame. Looking somewhat older than his actual age, he is bald on the top of his head with the rest of his hair silver. He sports thick eyebrows and a mustache and a somewhat bulbous nose. He wears round glasses and is regularly seen in his lab attire

== Non-canon plot overview ==

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ===
[[Conan]] treats Agasa like an uncle. Due to the fact that they both share the secret behind Shinichi's transformation and knowledge about the Black Organization, Conan often comes to him when in trouble or seeking for help. Agasa creates the necessary gadgets for Shinichi to play Conan's role and works hard to ensure this secret identity is safe, even from Shinichi's close friends like Ran and Sonoko. Agasa has also acted as mouthpiece for Conan when deducing crimes if Kogoro Mouri is not around or it's not safe to tranquilize him. Agasa has been supportive of Shinichi and Ran's relationship.

In private, Agasa calls Conan by his real name Shinichi. Sometimes he tends to slip and nearly exposes Shinichi's identity to public.

=== Ai Haibara ===
{{main|Agasa family}}
The relationship between [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] and Professor Agasa is rather unusual, if not humorous. Despite what their actual (and apparent) ages are, Haibara often times acts more like a mother to the professor, constantly reminding him to watch what he eats. On several occasions, she has removed fattening foods from his reach<ref name=Depths>[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref>, and is attempting to help get him into better shape. There have also been instances where she'll instinctively step in front of Agasa to protect him from danger.<ref name=Eyes>[[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]]</ref> Out of all the people she's met, Haibara seems most comfortable about acting herself with Agasa; which might be attributed to the fact that he was the one who found her after she escaped the Black Organization, and took her in.

Though they only realized the fact some time later, Agasa knew her parents when they were still alive—especially her father, [[Atsushi Miyano]]—even though he didn't know at that time that they'd had children.<ref>Manga Chapter 398: The Torn Friendship, Part 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 423: A Mystery Left by a Visitor</ref>

Unlike with Conan/Shinichi, both in public and in private, Agasa calls Haibara by her alias name Ai, even though he knows her real identity as Shiho Miyano.

=== Yusaku Kudo ===
Agasa and [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] are good friends.

=== Juzo Megure ===
Since Agasa's trips with Detective Boys often lead them to crime scenes, Agasa has met Megure frequently. Megure trusts and listens to Agasa's deduction (which actually comes from Conan using Voice Changing Bowtie, but Conan doesn't have to tranquilize Agasa). They are in good terms with each other, but at one point Megure remarks that Agasa has become a corpse magnet like Mouri.

=== Wataru Takagi ===
For the same reasons, Takagi and Agasa meet frequently and are in good terms with each other.

=== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ===
In the story, Akai and Agasa meet for the first time after Akai fakes his death and becomes Subaru (Akai uses the Voice Changing Choker invented by Agasa to fake his voice as Subaru). Agasa eventually learns about Akai's secret identity and helps him with his disguise. On daily events, Subaru helps Agasa on his inventions or picking up the Detective Boys when he is not around.

Both in public and in private, Agasa calls Akai by his alias name Subaru.

[[Image:Child Agasa.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Sixth Grade Agasa with Fusae Campbell]]

=== Fusae Campbell ===
[[Fusae Campbell]], today a successful fashion designer, was Agasa's first love in their childhood years. Because of her half-American heritage she has blonde hair, which made her the target of ridicule among her fellow students and thus very shy; she usually wore a large hat to conceal her hair. Three months after meeting Agasa, her family abruptly moved away, but she promised to return every ten years to a special place to meet him again. However, Agasa could not figure out what location she meant, until the [[Detective Boys]] and Conan find the original note she left behind and help him realize the answer to her clues. While they did not openly talk about their feelings during their brief reunion, there is a hint that their relationship is now beginning to grow.

*In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from.

== Quizzes ==

{{main|Agasa's Quizzes}}

In the non-[[canon]] movies, Agasa usually gives a multiple-choice quiz to the [[Detective Boys]] as a reward or just to test their knowledge. These are mostly based on puns or rearranging the strokes in a character to get the answer.

== Name origin ==
Agasa's name comes from mystery writer [[wikipedia:Agatha Christie|'''Agatha''' Christie]]. His first name '''Hiroshi''' is a pun as it is written with the same kanji for {{nihongo|''hakase''|博士|professor}}. Agasa's English given name "Herschel" likely comes from the physician friend of [[Haibara Ai|V. I. Warshawski]], Dr. Charlotte “Lotty” ''Herschel''.

Additionally, his great uncle and aunt, '''{{nihongo|Kurisuke|栗介}}''' and '''{{nihongo|Teiko|定子}}''', get their names from the Japanese pronunciation of '''{{nihongo|Christie|クリスティ|Kurisuti}}''' (''Kurisuke'' obviously comes from ''Kurisu'' (クリス), but ''Teiko'' comes from ''Tei'' (テイ), and alternate writing for ''Ti'' (ティ)).

'''{{nihongo|Genta Kojima|小嶋元太|''Kojima Genta''}}''', also known as '''George Kaminski''' in the English dub and manga, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Genta Background Clear.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Genta]]
Genta Kojima is a student in [[Teitan Elementary School]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins his class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Shortly afterwards, he and his classmate [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] decide to investigate an apparently haunted mansion, and they persuade Conan to come along. When their friend and classmate [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] expresses his skepticism about supernatural hauntings, Genta forcefully 'persuades' him to tag along as well. As it turns out, the haunting is a cover-up for an old homicide case.

Soon after, the accidental acquisition of a treasure map leads Ayumi, Genta, Mistuhiko and Conan on a hunt for a cache of stolen Italian gold coins, during which Conan saves them from getting killed by the mafia members who are also after the gold. After the case is resolved, Mitsuhiko joins Genta and Ayumi in forming the nucleus of an amateur detective group, the [[Detective Boys]].<ref>Manga Chapter 39: Code Sheet Case: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref> Genta is quick to pronounce himself the leader of the group, but his lackadaisical leadership abilities are commonly neglected in the field, and in fact everyone (even Genta) unconsciously views Conan as the group's actual leader. Genta's school shoe locker is used as a mailbox for any of their fellow students to present them with a case to solve.

Genta is apparently an only child living with his parents, who run a liquor store called "Kojima Liquors". He also has an uncle who lives in Gifu.<ref name="Uncle">[[Volume 35#File 360 - Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3|Volume 35, File 360 "Disappearing Mitsuhiko 3", page 18]]: "Hey, I'm going to see my uncle in Gifu soon..."</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Genta is the self-proclaimed leader of the Detective Boys. He loves food, especially braised eel on rice, and can eat more than all the other Detective Boys members combined. When discussions of money come up, Genta tends to think about it in terms of how many eel bowls he could buy. He also tends to mess up certain Japanese terms with similar-sounding words (especially if the latter are related to food) and sometimes has trouble reading even the most common Kanji, which on occasion causes some ridicule from his classmates and friends. His brash personality, lack of awareness of his surroundings, and tendency to not think before acting often lands the Detective Boys (or at least himself) in sticky situations.

Even though he is brash, outspoken and can be intimidating, Genta is actually very kind and dependable. He is a good friend of [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and has been shown to greatly admire [[Genji Kojima|his father]], who is considered to be a classic [[wikipedia:Edokko|"Child of Edo"]].

== Non-canon plot overview ==

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Ayumi Yoshida ===
Genta clearly has a crush on his teammate [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], and as a result he, along with Mitsuhiko, is rather jealous of Conan because she likes him the most. He and Ayumi have been friends since pre-school.

=== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya ===
Genta and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] are generally on very good terms with each other, and are also just as mutually jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi decides to give him her full romantic attention. However, the two do not feel rivalry with each other, likely because Ayumi treats them both only as friends.<ref>Anime episode 418: ''[[Home of Beika's Grenier]]''</ref>

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Genta's relationship with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is multi-faceted. While he generally admires Conan for his intelligence, courage and expertise, in his brashness he frequently attempts to promote himself as the leader of the [[Detective Boys]]. He also tends to become very jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi has set her romantic intents on him.

=== Ai Haibara ===
Genta initially expressed some interest in [[Ai Haibara]], but while his interest has cooled off somewhat because of her adult-like manner, the two generally remain on a good standing with each other. Nevertheless, Genta sees her as one of his friends and does not hesitate to help her when the situation demands it.

'''{{nihongo|Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|円谷光彦|''Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko''}}''', also known as '''Mitch Tennison''' in the English dub and manga, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Mitsuhiko Clear Background.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Mitsuhiko]]
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya is a student in [[Teitan Elementary School]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins his class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Shortly afterwards, his classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] have the idea of investigating an apparently haunted mansion, and they persuade Conan to come along. When Mitsuhiko expresses his skepticism about supernatural hauntings, Genta forcefully 'persuades' him to tag along as well. As it turns out, the ghost story is a cover-up for an old homicide case.

Soon after, the accidental acquisition of a treasure map leads Ayumi, Genta, Mistuhiko and Conan on a hunt for a cache of stolen Italian gold coins, during which Conan saves them from getting killed by the mafia members who are also after the gold. After the case is resolved, Mitsuhiko joins Genta and Ayumi in forming the nucleus of an amateur detective group, the [[Detective Boys]].<ref>Manga Chapter 39: Code Sheet Case: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref>

Mitsuhiko's parents are both teachers, and he has an older sister, [[Asami Tsuburaya]], about ten years his senior. Mitsuhiko doesn't like eat carrot but be careful.<ref>[[Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision|Episode 289: Mitsuhiko in a Forest of Indecision]]</ref>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Mitsuhiko - Impressed Ayumi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Mitsuhiko happy to have impressed Ayumi.]]
Mitsuhiko enjoys reading science books and takes a scientific approach to problem-solving. He is a smart and well-read first-grader who believes that technology can solve most problems. Due to his strict and formal upbringing by his parents, he tends to be very formal towards his elders, addressing them (in Japanese) with the formal suffix "-san" without regard to the intimacy of their relationship.<ref name=358p8>Volume 35, File 8, pg 8: "Mitsuhiko's Disappearance 1"</ref>
[[File:Mitsuhiko daydreams about Haibara Ai.jpg|thumb|right|220px|Mitsuhiko daydreams about marrying Ai.]]
It has been shown at numerous times that Mitsuhiko really likes to be prepared for any occasion. He enjoys studying scientific, historic and general subjects for his own interest and fun. This eventually allows him to provide useful insights whenever necessary. He's been (or felt) rewarded a few times for his knowledge. In one instance, Ayumi said how impressed she was after Mitsuhiko provided some precise historical facts behind the Ohashi House in Kurashiki, and he thought to himself with a big happy smile on his face: "I'm so glad I studied!".<ref name="ep377">[[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|Episode 377-378: Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]]</ref>
[[File:Mitsuhiko explains a riddle.png|thumb|left|200px|Mitsuhiko explaining a riddle.]]
One of his other qualities is that he tends to be proactive in many situations and thinks ahead to possible outcomes. For example, while the [[Detective Boys]] were trying to solve riddles they found in a Momotaro container in a small river in Kurashiki, a murder occurred which eventually led to the different codes to get burned. [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], knowing that resolving those codes would lead to concrete proof as to who the murderer might be, was quite pleased when Mitsuhiko proudly announced that he took notes in his Detective Boys notebook "thinking that something like that could happen".<ref name="ep377"/> He has often been shown as shrewder and more quick-witted than Genta and Ayumi, sometimes leading the investigation when Conan and Haibara aren't present.

Despite the preciousness of his intelligence, Mitsuhiko remains an elementary school child, and enjoys activities of his age, such as making a snowman or treasure hunting. As a consequence, he is best friends with Genta and Ayumi.

Mitsuhiko has a dislike for carrots, and will always eat them last (if ever) if he can help it.

== Plot overview ==
=== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 25#Dangerous Cave Case|251]]-[[Volume 26#Dangerous Cave Case|254]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|188-189]]) ===
After the Detective Boys have been trapped in a cavern, and after Conan has fainted, Mitsuhiko, hinted by Conan's last words and Ayumi's opinion, is the one to find the solution of the riddle leading to the exit of the cavern.

=== Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys (Manga: [[Volume 27#Bear Hunters Case|273]]-[[Volume 28#Bear Hunters Case|275]], Anime: [[Mushrooms, Bears, and the Detective Boys|212-213]]) ===
* Searching for Genta, Mitsuhiko and Haibara find the body of a dead hunter, and start being tracked by his murderer, who fears they might have seen him. When Haibara sprains her ankle, he makes her a bandage, using a method that Conan had taught him; he then carries her to a safer place. With Haibara's help, he leaves a code to signal his position to the other Detective Boys.
* This is the case where Mitsuhiko develops romantic feelings for Haibara.

=== Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest (Manga: [[Volume 35#Disappearing Mitsuhiko Case|358-360]], Anime: [[Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest|289-290]]) ===
The Detective Boys realize that Mitsuhiko has been missing from his home for specific periods of time, and follow his trail to a forest in Gunma. Mitsuhiko, having heard Haibara and Ayumi expressing their admiration for the beauty of fireflies, wanted to please them by bringing them some. However, having caught a firefly, he realizes that he can't answer Conan's call on his badge without releasing it. He is eventually caught by the escaped serial killer [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] who was also hiding in the forest. Since Numabuchi loves fireflies too, he does not hurt Mitsuhiko, and even carries him back to his friends. This case is a good example of Mitsuhiko's dedication for Ayumi and Haibara.

=== Class 1-B's Great Operation (Manga: [[Volume 53#Kobayashi-sensei's Mystery|548-549]], Anime: [[Class 1-B's Great Operation!|460]]) ===

=== Mountain Witch's Cutlery (Manga: [[Volume 56#Onibaba Legend Murder Case|579-581]], Anime: [[Mountain Witch's Cutlery|481-482]]) ===
During the night, Mitsuhiko catches sight of the owner of the house sharpening a cleaver with a fiendish face; a vision which leaves him terrified. It later becomes an essential element of incrimination against the owner during the police investigation.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== [[Countdown to Heaven]] ===
Noticing that both Haibara and Ayumi seem to be interested in Conan, Mitsuhiko asks Ran to meet with her at a café the day after. While they eat, Mitsuhiko tells Ran that he likes both Haibara and Ayumi equally, and asks her if that makes him a bad person. When Haibara falls from the car in mid-air from Tower A to Tower B at the end of the movie, Mitsuhiko saves Haibara by taking her hand and tells her "I'll never let you go!"

== Relationship analysis ==
=== Ayumi Yoshida ===
As the cheerful and innocent girl she is, [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] has attracted the romantic interests of her teammates Mitsuhiko and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], but she is blissfully unaware of that. Her crush on Conan and tendency to innocently flirt with him leads to feelings of annoyance or disappointment on Mitsuhiko's part. According to [[Movie 5]], Mitsuhiko seems to have liked Ayumi since kindergarten, and according to [[Magic File 2: Shinichi Kudo, The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab|Magic File 2]], they have been friends since at least preschool.

=== Ai Haibara ===
[[Image:279haibaramitsuhiko.png|thumb|right|200px|Haibara listening in on Mitsuhiko's radio.]]
{{main|Ai Haibara and Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya}}
After [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] joins the Detective Boys, Mitsuhiko develops a crush on her due to her intelligence and competence. To date, Ai hasn't shown any romantic feelings for him and uses his feelings to her advantage when she needs him to do something, but she also admires his intelligence and courage during missions. In some episodes, she even shows more confidence in Mitsuhiko than in Ayumi or Genta when the going gets tough. In some episodes, he notices that Ai and Conan interactions are more mature adults while she talks to Mitsuhiko and other Detective Boys like kids.

=== Conan Edogawa ===
Mitsuhiko's relationship with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is a bit of a two-faced matter. While he generally admires Conan for his intelligence, courage and expertise, he tends to become very jealous of him whenever Ayumi has set her romantic intentions on Conan. He also suffers from being less shrewd and dexterous than him in front of Haibara.<ref>[[Volume 28|Manga Volume 28, Case 274: The Shrunken Target]], page 11</ref>

=== Genta Kojima ===
Mitsuhiko and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]] are generally on very good terms with each other, and are mutually jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi decides to give him romantic attention. However, the two do not feel rivalry with each other, likely because Ayumi sees them both as friends.<ref>Anime episode 418: ''[[Home of Beika's Grenier]]''</ref>

== Character popularity ==
eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Mitsuhiko placed 26th in the poll with 8 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Mitsuhiko's name comes from novelist [[wikipedia:ja:内田康夫|Yasuo Uchida]]'s reporter character {{nihongo|[[wikipedia:ja:浅見光彦|Mitsuhiko Asami]]|浅見光彦|Asami Mitsuhiko}}. His name in the funimation dub is named after the main protagonist of a popular TV show named [[Wikipedia: Prime Suspect 1973|Prime Suspect: Tennison]] and its sequel named [[Wikipedia: Prime Suspect|Prime Suspect]]. The protagonist is Jane Tennison, one of the first female Inspector in London who gets promoted to the rank of Superintendent and who confronts the sexism in law enforcement.

== Quotes ==

== Trivia ==
* It is stated in [[Conan Disappeared on the Cliff]] that Mitsuhiko's favorite meal is pudding. However, this episode is [[Canon#Non-canon|an anime original]], and hence not canon.
* Between episodes [[Episode 425|425]]~[[Episode 436|436]] Mitsuhiko's voice actor [[Ikue Otani]] went on maternity leave and was replaced by [[Ai Orikasa]].<ref>http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=2074.msg45241#msg45241</ref>
* Mitsuhiko's family name “Tsuburaya” (円谷) means “round valley”. “Mitsuhiko” (光彦) is written with the characters for “light” and “lad, boy”.
* Mitsuhiko's parents have been very rarely mentioned. A [[The Whistling Bookstore|filler episode]] indicates that his father likes photography, but this information has not been canonized as of yet.

'''{{nihongo|Ayumi Yoshida|吉田歩美|''Yoshida Ayumi''}}''', also known as '''Amy Yeager''' in the English dub and manga, is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

== Background ==
[[File:Ayumi clear background.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ayumi]]
Ayumi Yoshida is a student in [[Teitan Elementary School]] when [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] joins her class as [[Conan Edogawa]]. Ayumi befriends Conan and convinces him to join her, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] in investigating an apparently haunted mansion. As it turns out, the haunting is a cover-up for an old homicide case, and due to Conan, the mystery is solved and the culprits are arrested.

Soon after, the accidental acquisition of a treasure map leads Ayumi, Genta, Mistuhiko and Conan on a hunt for a cache of stolen Italian gold coins, during which Conan saves them from getting killed by the mafia members who are also after the gold. His actions earn Ayumi's gratitude, which quickly develops into a serious crush.<ref>Manga Chapter 39: Code Sheet Case: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref> Additionally, after the case is resolved, Ayumi joins Genta and Mitsuhiko in forming the nucleus of an amateur detective group, the [[Detective Boys]]. Ayumi is the sole female member of the Detective Boys until [[Ai Haibara]] joins their ranks.

== Appearance ==
Ayumi has short hair, having some hair points sticking out on the side of her face and a hair band on the head usually pink. Furthermore, she has blue eyes and brown hair. She often wears dresses.

== Personality ==
Ayumi is a primarily naive and innocent little girl who enjoys adventure. She demonstrates courage as time goes on and acts as the group's cheerful spirit. She has an open crush on Conan, which makes him uncomfortable, though Ayumi thinks that he has feelings for Haibara because he tries to protect her and she often sees them talking amongst themselves in private. Ayumi later becomes better friends with Haibara, and in the Japanese version, Haibara allows Ayumi permission to use the more informal term Ai-''chan'' to address her.<ref>[[Volume 39]]</ref>

When on a case, Ayumi often makes simple observations that help lead to progress and resolution. For instance, she unlocked one of the codes from the Momotaro container the [[Detective Boys]] found in Kurashiki by deducing that it was most likely referring to one of the statues at the Oohara Art Museum: they had to walk 25 steps from the statue towards the direction it was facing.<ref name="ep377">[[Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour|Episode 377-378: Momotarou Mystery Solving Tour]]</ref>

Ayumi plays hide and seek with the Detective Boys. She hides in the trunk of a parked car, not knowing that the owners would drive off with her. While in the dark, she hears the driver and passenger saying criminal things and, feeling around in the dark, finds a bundles of cash and a severed head. Conan, Genta, and Mistuhiko chase after the car using Conan's skateboard. When they catch up and free Ayumi, they discover the "criminals" were really actors practicing their lines for a play and the "severed head" and "money" were only props made out of newspaper. To make up for the damage they caused, the reluctant Ayumi has to play the role of the dead girl in the play.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[Image:Conan Ayumi Kiss.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Ayumi gives Conan her first kiss.]]

Ayumi has strong romantic feelings for [[Conan]] and sees him as a role model as well as an extremely reliable person she can look up to and may always count on.<ref>Manga Chapter 039: The Shining Fish's True Form</ref> Conan in turn is a bit unnerved by Ayumi's feelings, though he does respect her as a good friend.<ref>Manga Chapter 081: A Dangerous Game of Hide-And-Seek</ref>

==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima ====
Ayumi gets along well with [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], but blissfully fails to realize that they both have a crush on her.<ref>Manga Chapter 081: A Dangerous Game of Hide-And-Seek</ref> As a result, her open flirting with Conan leaves them frequently jealous or disappointed.<ref>Manga Chapter 437: Ai Haibara's Resolution</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 386: Stairs in the Setting Sun</ref>

==== Ai Haibara ====
Ayumi is the first to approach and try to befriend their new classmate, [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]], by offering to walk her home and then inviting her along on a Detective Boys investigation. At first Haibara remains distant, but later recognizes the value of friendship and allows Ayumi (and only her) to call her "Ai-chan". In turn, Haibara considers Ayumi like a little sister and gets along with her much better than with her other teammates.

Ayumi is a proud fan of Hide and encourages him and is persistent in rooting for him since she almost cried after a Roupeiro told her she couldn't give Hide a water bottle. She almost passed out after Hide thanked her for her gift.

'''{{nihongo|Juzo Megure|目暮十三|Megure Jūzō}}''' (also known as '''Joseph Meguire''' in the Funimation dub), commonly referred to as '''Inspector Megure''', is a Police Inspector (Rank 6) in Division 1 of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department<ref name=PoliceRanks>http://forums.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=6114.0</ref> in the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''.

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

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

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

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

In some anime originals, Megure has the habit of trying to tell the culprit about the morals of doing wrong, which he rarely does in the manga series.

== Plot overview ==
Megure appears in a majority of the episodes. He is always involved in questioning suspects, although his deductive powers are not as well-developed as [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] or [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]].

== Non-canon plot overview ==

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Midori Megure ====
[[Midori Megure|Midori]] is Megure's wife. During a case a long time ago, she insisted on being a decoy for a serial killer. This is explained in episode 217-218. Juzo jumped in front of the car to save her. While she was hit, he only hit his head. This is explained why he never takes off his hat, which is to hide the scar. She survived and later they were married.

==== Yusaku Kudo ====
Megure is on very friendly terms with [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and respects his deductive powers, so much so that he sometimes looks to him for guidance on tough cases.

==== Shinichi Kudo ====
[[Shinichi Kudo]] is respected and seen as a helpful guide on cases by Megure. Their working relationship began with [[The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case|Shinichi's first solo case aboard an airplane]]. Shinichi's habit of helping the police likely comes from his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]], whom Megure also respects. Megure often comments how cases would be much easier if "Kudo-kun" was still around. Conan often pretends that Shinichi tells him the truth to cases by phone so that Megure is more accepting of Conan's deductions.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
[[File:Megure and Conan_Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective.]]
Megure tends to treat Conan as a nuisance, and does not think much of him. Unlike Takagi and Sato, he does not notice as much as others the tips and hints Conan drops regularly.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
In episode 218, Juzo shielded Sonoko from a serial killer. The serial killer was going to kill Sonoko with a iron club until Juzo shielded her at last second. The killer was arrested and Juzo went to the hospital. Sonoko, Ran, Conan, Kogoro and the Superintendent went to visit him.

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[Kogoro Mouri]] and Megure used to work together in the past before Kogoro left the police force. Megure found Kogoro's work behavior and poor deductions irritating. Now that Kogoro has become the "Sleeping Kogoro", Megure's respect for him has increased somewhat. It is a running gag that Megure refers to Kogoro as a shinigami or a 'death-god', because of the sheer number of murder cases that Kogoro coincidentally has come by. Now whenever Kogoro and Megure work together, the inspector always impatiently awaits [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|Kogoro's characteristic "Hynaaa~" sound and dance]] that marks the beginning of the [[Conan Edogawa|sleeping detective]]'s deduction.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Wataru Takagi and Ninzaburo Shiratori ====
Megure and [[Wataru Takagi|Takagi]] usually work together on criminal cases. [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]], though an Inspector himself, is also frequently seen conducting investigations with Megure. Both policemen share cordial relationships with Megure and treat him with respect. He can be strict with them, but he also shows concern for them, if they are put in danger.

==== Miwako Sato ====
[[Miwako Sato|Miwako]] and Juzo have been shown to have a father-daughter relationship, probably because Sato's father had died at a young age.

==== Kiyonaga Matsumoto ====
[[Kiyonaga Matsumoto|Superintendent Matsumoto]] is Megure's superior. He has great respect for him.

== Character popularity ==
eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Megure placed 24th in the poll with 17 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
[[File:Detective 5.jpg|thumb|right|Maigret was featured by Gosho Aoyama in the fifth volume.]]
"Juzo Megure" comes from '''[[Wikipedia:Jules Maigret|Jules Maigret]]''', a fictional Paris police detective created by the writer Georges Simenon. Maigret and Megure physically resemble one another as well, both are stocky and somewhat overweight. Megure's first name "Juzo" has also been used as a pun on thirteen, the Japanese numeral.

== Quotes ==

== Trivia ==
* Megure's scar has yet to be seen, because even when he was hospitalized, he either had his hat or had a bandage that wrapped the whole top of his head.
* Megure does not know how to work with computers well. He doesn't know the most basic jargon nor the proper way to turn one on or off.<ref name=379p>Manga Volume 37, File 7, :"Footsteps of Darkness 3"</ref>
* His last name Megure (目暮) is written with the characters for 'eye' and 'to get dark'. His first name Jūzō (十三) literally means 'thirteen'.

'''{{nihongo|Akemi Miyano|宮野明美|Miyano Akemi}}''', also known by her alias as '''{{nihongo|Masami Hirota|広田雅美|Hirota Masami}}''', is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Akemi is the older sister of [[Shiho Miyano]], and both were members of the [[Black Organization]]. However, unlike her sister, Akemi was never considered a high ranking member. Akemi dated [[Shuichi Akai]] while he was infiltrating the Organization. Akemi was shot by Gin and killed after she performed a bank robbery. Although she dies in her first appearance, Akemi shows up numerous times throughout the series, mostly in episodes featuring Haibara, whom looks at [[Ran Mouri]] as a spitting image of her sister.

== Background ==
Akemi Miyano, the oldest child of [[Elena Miyano]] and [[Atsushi Miyano]], was born into the Black Organization approximately some 25 years before the current timeline.<ref>She was close to 5 when she visited Sohei Dejima's house with her parents 20 years ago in [[Volume 41]], File 423: "A Mystery Left by a Visitor"</ref> Unlike her younger sister [[Shiho Miyano]], Akemi was never considered a high ranking member of the Organization and managed to live a mostly normal life, traveling about freely and going to school and college like normal, despite being watched over by the organization. Both of her parents later died an accident while she was young, orphaning Akemi and Shiho. Although her sister became a highly ranked codenamed scientist, Akemi remained in close contact with Shiho and served as her lifeline to normalcy. She only involved herself into the organization to try get Shiho out of it.

Some five years before the current timeline, Akemi met undercover FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]] who was using the alias Dai Moroboshi. He planned to date Akemi in order to get close to Shiho Miyano so he could gain standing within the Black Organization as part of his mission. Although Shuichi initially was just using her, they wound up really falling in love. Akemi discovered Shuichi was an FBI agent and guessed his plan, but kept this knowledge secret even from him. Three years later, Shuichi's true allegiance was uncovered and he was ejected from the Organization. Akemi then revealed that she knew his secret, and that she wished to leave the Organization and date him seriously.

This did not happen because Akemi was unwilling to leave without her sister, and the Black Organization would not allow Shiho to go because her work on the [[APTX 4869]] project was extremely valuable. Although Shuichi stopped contacting Akemi for her safety, the Organization was planning to get rid of her anyway because her connection to Shuichi was considered a serious risk. The Organization could not simply eliminate her though because it would jeopardize Shiho's loyalty. The Black Organization finally put their plan to kill Akemi into motion two years later just after [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] had shrunk into [[Conan Edogawa|Conan Edogawa]].
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
Akemi had a friendly,kind, gentle cheerful and outgoing personality and a good sense of humor. When she was a child, she was naive, mischievous and native; she hid the work tools of her father's friends and happily watched as they panicked, however, she only wanted them not to work hard anymore. As an adult, she was a loving, caring person well at odds with the rest of the Black Organization. She and her sister Shiho were very close although they met each other rarely, they often shared with each other the stories. Shuichi says Akemi was always crying in the dark while pretending to be strong. This tells that she is a weak girl and does not want to annoy the others.
She is sensitive and may have many sad stories or secrets which she does not tell outside.

== Appearance ==
[[Image:Akemi Before (1).png|thumb|right|200px|As Masami Hirota]]
Akemi is often noted to be very similar to [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. Both Haibara and Shuichi get the feeling that they are alike. She is a nice japanese girl with long black hair, a medium height.

== Plot overview ==
=== ¥1,000,000,000 Robbery Case (Manga: [[Volume 2#.C2.A51.2C000.2C000.2C000 Robbery|013-016]], Anime: [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|13]]/[[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]]) ===
[[Image:Conan and Akemi manga.png|thumb|right|200px|Akemi's death in the manga.]]
The Organization's plan to silence Akemi was to pretend to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful one billion yen bank robbery, [[Gin]] told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her. Akemi hired two partners to help her. Kenzo Hirota, a Tokyoite with no family, would be the get-away driver, because he used to work as a taxi driver. An unnamed giant man would serve as muscle. The day before the mission, she send a text to Akai, explaining the situation and asked if he would want to go out with her for real, should she manage to get out of the organization.

Akemi and her two partners successfully pull off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Unfortunately, Kenzo Hirota then backstabs Akemi and the giant by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approach different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Akemi creates the alias Hirota Masami, borrowing from [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|a professor friend's name]], and changing her hairstyle so she appears to be a high school girl from Yamagata looking for her missing "father".<ref>Manga [[Volume 2]], file 4 (13): "The Missing Man "</ref> Akemi approaches the then-not-well-known Detective [[Kogoro]] at his office and convinces him to help her. Kogoro begins to search for the man's via his contacts.

[[Image:Conan and Akemi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Akemi's death in the anime.]]
Sometime while Kogoro is searching for Kenzo, Akemi meets with Shiho at a restaurant and describes Conan to her. Akemi tells Shiho that Conan lives in the [[Mouri Detective Agency]] near the [[Setting|Kudo house]] that Shiho had visited earlier (as part of a search to ensure Shinichi was really killed by APTX 4869) and that he has the composure of an adult. Shiho then asks Akemi to tell her about the dangerous mission that Akemi had just performed, but Akemi tells Shiho she is fine and that she should stop working on that drug and try to get a boyfriend instead.

With Conan and Ran's help, Kogoro finds Kenzo and "Hirota Masami" pretends to be overjoyed at their "reunion". Later that night, Akemi and the giant man confront Kenzo to take back the money. A fight breaks out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo to death against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hang Kenzo's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grab the cash, and leave for a hotel. Akemi slips some pills given to her by Gin into the giant's drink so she could take the money, unaware that they were laced with cyanide and would kill him instantly. With both of her partners dead, she hides the suitcases of money at the hotel's front desk and takes a taxi to meet Gin and [[Vodka]] at the shipping yard, with [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] following closely behind.<ref name=manga>Detective Conan Manga Files 13 to 16</ref>

When she arrives at the meeting place, she tells Gin that she will only tell him where the money is after he frees her sister, but Gin goes back on his word, saying her sister is far too valuable to let go of. He gives her one last chance to cooperate, but she refuses and he shoots her. Conan arrives at the scene with her bleeding out.Akemi is one of the few characters in the show that knows Conan is [[Shinichi Kudo]], as he admits it to her while she is dying in front of him, while she tells him about the dangers of the Black Organization.<ref name=Akemi/> Akemi's death is ruled a suicide, as Gin's fingerprints were not found on the gun that killed her,<ref name=Akemi/> but her fingerprints were.<ref name=manga/>

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Shuichi Akai ===
{{main|Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano}}
[[Shuichi Akai]] and Akemi Miyano were lovers while he was infiltrating the [[Black Organization]]. Shuichi's original mission was to date Akemi Miyano in order to meet Shiho Miyano. Shuichi used Shiho's influence to gain rank in the Organization, intending to become trusted enough to meet with high level agents so the FBI could capture one for questioning. As [[James Black]] later recalls, although Shuichi's relationship with Akemi was merely a stepping stone, Shuichi actually fell in love with Akemi, and considered her his real girlfriend. Because of this he broke up with the woman (and felow agent) he dated until then, [[Jodie Starling]]; he cared deeply for Jodie, but since he had fallen for Akemi he didn't want to keep two parallel relationships.
[[File:Akai and Akemi.png|right|thumb|200px|Shuichi asks Akemi why she didn't get away from him after knowing that he was just using her.]]
Sometime later, Akemi develops the suspicion that Shuichi really wasn't who he claimed to be. Later, due to a massive error by [[Andre Camel]], Shuichi is discovered by the rest of the Organization to be an FBI agent, leading to his expulsion. Shuichi confirms that he is an FBI agent to her. To Shuichi's surprise, Akemi doesn't seemed surprised by this, so Shuichi asks her why she never said anything about her suspicions that she was being used by him before, and Akemi hints it is because she loves him. Initially, the Organization couldn't do anything about Akemi because they needed the loyalty of her sister, but two years later they decided that the risk of her contact with Shuichi was too much. They decided to create a situation where they could eliminate her by having her do a bank heist she was supposed to fail. Sometime near the day of the heist, Akemi sent Shuichi a long text message, asking him if he wants to be her real boyfriend when she is finally free from the Organization. After the heist, Akemi is killed by [[Gin]], and it is unknown how Shuichi responded if at all. Shuichi treasures her final text message, and keeps it in his phone many months after Akemi's death.

How Akemi and Shuichi met in the manga is unknown, but in the anime, Shuichi Akai originally met Akemi by an intentional accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he deliberately walked into the street in front of her in order to be hit by her.<ref>Episode 497</ref> Akemi helped take him to the hospital, watching over him until he was better. When he woke up, he felt no anger over what she did, and even asked for her name, to which a very flustered Akemi replied, while he told her his fake name: Dai Moroboshi. After this they began dating.

=== Ai Haibara ===
Despite the fact that they couldn't see each other often, Akemi and her sister Shiho were very close to each other. Akemi had constantly tried to encourage the studious and workaholic Shiho to relax and find herself a boyfriend.

Akemi's death scarred her sister deeply. Much of Akemi's personality Shiho finds personified in [[Ran Mouri]] - perhaps this is the main reason why Shiho was first reluctant to accept her (due to the still-fresh pain of her loss), but eventually came to consider her as a surrogate sister.

=== Rei Furuya ===
Akemi seems to have known [[Rei Furuya]], and described him and his relationship with Shuichi to Shiho.This is not revealed yet. In the flashback during [[The Unsolved Cocktail Case]], it tells that Akemi and Rei met and know each other when they were children. They might be close. Akemi cared about Rei. However, according to Aoyama Gosho, Akemi did not remember Rei when she is a adult. This implies that when meeting each other in the black organization, Akemi did not realize that Bourbon was Rei. This protected the true person of Rei.

== Speculation ==
=== Hidden P.S. ===
[[Image:Akemi's Text Message.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The last text message Akemi had sent Shuichi, before her death.]]
In the text message that Akemi Miyano sent to [[Shuichi Akai]] before she commits the bank robbery, aside from the main content, there is also a '''"P.S."''' shown below it, at the bottom left corner of his cell phone's screen. However, what Akemi wrote ''under'' that part (the things she wanted to say in the P.S.) has never been revealed to the readers (watchers).

There is a common speculation among the fans that Akemi has asked [[Shuichi Akai]] to protect the safety of her sister, [[Shiho Miyano]], in case the robbery she planned ends up in failure, or that the [[Black Organization]] decides to betray their promise, which is to let her and her sister leave if she succeeds. It is important to note that in the Manga File 810, Shuichi, while disguising as [[Subaru Okiya]], has mentioned in his mind about the promise he made with a certain '''"her"''', because of which he refuses to make [[Ai Haibara]] go with him by force.<ref>[[Volume 77|Volume 77, File 810, Page 16]]</ref> This woman whom Shuichi was referring to might have been his late girlfriend Akemi, and his promise with her might be relevant to the hidden content of the mysterious P.S.

{{nihongo|'''Shiho Miyano'''|宮野志保|Miyano Shiho}} is a former [[Black Organization]] researcher, codenamed '''{{nihongo|"Sherry"|シェリー|Sherī}}''', who was working on [[APTX 4869]]. After the Black Organization killed her [[Akemi Miyano|sister]], she took APTX 4869 to commit suicide but shrank instead. She fled the Black Organization and now currently goes under the alias of '''[[Ai Haibara]]'''.

== Background ==
[[Image:Shiho Miyano computer picture.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Shiho as she appears on Pisco's computer in the manga version.]]
Shiho Miyano and her older sister, Akemi Miyano, were born into the secret crime syndicate known unofficially as the [[Black Organization]]. Shiho's English mother, [[Elena Miyano]], and Japanese father, [[Atsushi Miyano]], were both important researchers for the Black Organization. They both died in what other members of the Black Organization described as an accident while Shiho was very young.

While Akemi lived a normal life, Shiho was sent to America as a small child to go to school and was groomed to finish her parents' research on [[APTX 4869]].<ref> File 384-386 Volume 38 File 2-4</ref> Most of her time in America was lonely; she ate lunch alone, and was otherwise isolated from her peers for being different. Despite the difficult social situation, Shiho was an academic prodigy, and by the age of thirteen she was working as a highly ranked scientist for the Black Organization.<ref>Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization five years ago. He did so by becoming Akemi's girlfriend in order to get close to Shiho and use her influence to get in. (Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past") According to the FBI's description, Shiho was "a scientist for them" at the time. Furthermore, this took place in Japan since everyone was speaking Japanese, Akemi lived in Japan, and the FBI bust two years prior to the current timeline was in Japan (607 pg 8). If Shiho is 18 in the present, then she would have been 13 at the time that Akai started infiltrating the Black Organization, and she was already a scientist for them at this point and high ranked.</ref> Her codename in the Black Organization is "Sherry", after the alcoholic drink.
Her only real friend was Akemi, who only involved herself in the organization to get Shiho out.

At some point, along with [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]], she has visited the Mermaid Island, where there supposedly lived a woman rumored to be immortal. She has always know that [[Renya Karasuma]] is the Black Organization head.

Shiho was about 18 years old when she developed the most current incarnation of the experimental test compound [[APTX 4869]]. Although it was not her intended purpose<ref>Manga Volume 18, File 9, page 9</ref>, she discovered that it could be used as a poison to kill without leaving any traces of itself in a body. While researching its effects, Shiho noticed that one of her lab mice had become younger after being given the drug instead of dying. Meanwhile, the Black Organization started using APTX 4869 to commit untraceable murders.

After the death of her sister at the hands of Gin, she rebelled against the Black Organization, refusing to complete any work for them until she received a satisfactory explanation for why her sister was killed. Instead she was confined to a small room to await the boss decided her execution. She took an APTX 4869 pill she had pocketed earlier to commit suicide, but shrank instead to elementary school child age. That allowed her to slip her handcuffs and escape via a rubbish chute. Her only hope was her suspicions about the potential survival of [[Shinichi Kudo]], the only unconfirmed death of the human trial subjects. She fled towards Shinichi's house, but collapsed in the rain outside the house of Shinichi's neighbor, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. Agasa found and adopted her, and she now lives with him under the alias [[Ai Haibara]].

Naturally, the boss ordered the organization to hunt her down and murder her, and to get rid of anyone associated with her.

== Personality ==
Initially, Shiho was very cynical, which was reflected in her valuing her own security above idealistic principles of justice. She also did not wish to become close to others. While attending school in America, she ate lunch alone<ref>[[Volume 30|Volume 30, File 303: "Genta's Misfortune"]]</ref>. It was only by repeatedly approaching her that the [[Detective Boys]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] finally became her friends. Shiho was also untrusting of others in general, and preferred to put on an expressionless, cold mask while bottling up her pain and sadness. Shiho's views about death have been complex and at times contradictory. She was prepared to likely kill [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]] with APTX 4869 as part of her tests, but on the other hand, she detested the Black Organization's use of APTX as a killing tool and Conan labeling her as a murderer.
Her fascination with her work seems to be stronger than fear for the organization, while she was still a member, since she risked changing Shinichi Kudo's data to avoid him getting killed before she could study him.

Shiho speaks very formally.

=== Changes as Ai Haibara ===
Her time as [[Ai Haibara]] has softened her personality, making her more optimistic and open to Conan's idealistic pursuit of justice.

== Appearance ==
Shiho is a thin woman of average height with naturally wavy auburn hair at mid neck length. Although she is multiracial, she is Japanese looking. Many characters refer to her as very beautiful, a trait she seems to have inherited from her mother.

== Abilities and skills ==
=== Biochemistry ===
Shiho is a biochemical genius, taking up her parents' research work on [[APTX 4869]] for the Black Organization by the age of thirteen after going to school in America.

=== Medical knowledge ===
Shiho has demonstrated knowledge of medicine, recognizing the symptoms of Shiratori's [[Wikipedia:Subdural hematoma|subdural hematoma]].<ref>Tokyo hostage/Matsuda case</ref> Using knowledge of osteology, she also is able to deduce a long decayed woman's ambulatory condition.<ref>Castle treasure case</ref>

=== Detective skills ===
Shiho was able to deduce Conan as Shinichi by inspecting the clues left in Kudo residence. As Haibara, she shows sharp observation, keen thinking process and ability to make logical deduction; however, unlike Conan/Shinichi, she often lacks specialized knowledge or experience to make the conclusive argument to solve the case. Moreover, to avoid attention, she stays quiet, which Conan often takes the spotlight. Haibara does not identify herself as a "mystery freak" as Conan. In the few cases that Haibara leads the investigation, she shows that she can be a great detective on her own, although this is not her prime speciality. Haibara has also known to read some mysteries like
Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot novels and PD James's Cordelia Gray novel but it is not known whether she enjoys the genre.

=== "Black Organization sense" ===
[[Image:Ai's BO radar.png|thumb|right|200px|Shiho as Haibara senses a Black Organization member is nearby.]]
Shiho has the ability to sense when Black Organization members are around, which she characterizes as their unique "smell" or "pressure". So far, her sense only detects Black Organization members and not people with malevolent intent generally,<ref>She has only claimed the sense for Black Organization members, and she does not seem to have the same magnitude reaction around people who aren't, such as case culprits, although she may be generally suspicious of them;</ref> however, it doesn't always trigger when Black Organization members are present.<ref>This is the case especially when the Black Organization members aren't focusing or in an aggressive mood. Numabuchi is an example of this.</ref> nor does it reveal their numbers.<ref>The case with Vermouth and Shuichi on the bus, and when she was unsure if Pisco had an accomplice (Vermouth) at the party.</ref> Sometimes the sense is fleeting ([[Subaru Okiya|Subaru]], or [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] passing by pursuing [[James Black]]), or context sensitive (when Akemi was planning the bank robbery).

=== Pain tolerance ===
[[Gin|Like]] [[Vermouth|other]] Black Organization members, Shiho has also demonstrated a strong tolerance for pain. During the initial apoptoxin transformation, Shiho does not scream despite the sensation of 'bones melting', as doing so would likely have ended in being caught and killed when someone came to check on her. It is unclear if she even passes out at all, and regardless she manages to recover quickly enough to escape through a chute/ventilation shaft before her captors know anything happened.

Additionally, she climbs barefoot up a chimney while extremely sick from the effects of a cold combined with [[Baijiu]]-induced regrowth. She then crawls back to the chimney after she is shot multiple times by Gin on the frigid, snowy roof. She still maintains consciousness after falling down the chimney over a story in height and experiencing the agony of reverting back to Ai Haibara. Nowhere during this ordeal or her rescue afterwards did she cry from the pain. Shiho also handled the painful side affects of being reverting back to an adult with a [[prototype antidote]] better than Shinichi.

=== Shooting ===
Shiho is familiar with firearms. As Haibara, she was confident enough to intentionally miss a shot with a handgun.

=== Driving ===
In Lupin III vs Detective Conan The Movie, Haibara is able to ride a Harley motorbike, she stated that she used to own a Harley when she was Shiho.

In The Disappearance of Edogawa Conan, she is shown driving a car as Haibara.

== Plot overview ==
=== Prior to escape ===
After being orphaned by the death of [[Atsushi Miyano|her]] [[Elena Miyano|parents]] at a young age, Shiho was groomed to take over their [[APTX 4869]] research project. She was educated overseas in America before returning to Japan at or before she was 13. She became a high ranking member, codenamed Sherry, in the Black Organization's internal drug development division.<ref>Conan Drill page 237</ref> When she was about 13,<ref>Five years before present timeline</ref> undercover [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] began dating Shiho's sister [[Akemi Miyano]] in order to use Shiho's rank to his advantage while infiltrating the Black Organization.

During the 5+ years Shiho worked in the Black Organization lab, Akemi was Shiho's lifeline to normalcy and her primary emotional support within the darkness of the Black Organization. Akemi would arrange meetings with Shiho in restaurants and such to chat about current happenings, and Shiho would sometimes tell Akemi about her Black Organization activities, although it appears she did not go into much detail.<ref name="Akemi Meeting">Volume 18, File 10, Page 15</ref> Akemi would also send Shiho floppies of pictures of her travels and friends which Shiho would quickly look at. During this time, Shiho accidentally mixed up the disks and mailed a disk of extremely sensitive information back to Akemi by mistake. The disk eventually would up in the hands of Akemi's professor friend, Masami Hirota.

[[Image:Investigation Kudo's house.jpg‎|thumb|left|200px|Search team were sent to Kudo's house to investigate.]]Closer to the beginning of the current timeline, Shiho Miyano was ordered to test the most recent, yet still incomplete, version of APTX 4869 on [[Ki'ichiro Numabuchi]], a failed assassin. Shiho received the data about him, but he managed to escape the Black Organization before she could test it on him. Shiho fled the Black Organization herself soon after, so her superiors never found a substitute test subject. [[Shinichi Kudo]] wound up being the first "guinea pig" of APTX 4869 according to [[Gin]], who decided to use the newly approved poison to kill him after Shinichi witnessed a Black Organization transaction.

Unaware of the APTX 4869's rare deaging side effect when they used it on Shinichi Kudo, the Black Organization ordered a search for him because his body had not been found. As the creator of the drug, Shiho was part of the team who searched Shinichi's house twice to confirm his death. She began to suspect Shinichi's transformation when she noticed his clothes from primary school had disappeared between the first and second searches. Sometime earlier, one mouse dosed with APTX 4869 had become younger, so she suspected something similar had happened to Shinichi. Shiho did not want the Black Organization to kill such an interesting "test subject" before she could examine him, so Shiho confirmed Shinichi as deceased so the organization would not look into the matter further. Shiho later met with Akemi and told her that she went to Kudo's house in Beika city to "look after something".<ref name="Akemi Meeting"/>

==== Akemi's robbery plan and death ====
[[Image:Conan newspaper.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's picture in the newspaper article about Akemi Miyano's death. Shiho remembered Conan from this picture.]]
Meanwhile, Akemi Miyano wished that she and Shiho could leave the Black Organization. The Black Organization itself was in an awkward position as Akemi had been in love with the FBI spy, Shuichi Akai, whose true allegiance had since been uncovered when Shiho was about 16.<ref>Two years before present timeline</ref> The Black Organization could not simply kill Akemi because that would jeopardize the loyalty of Shiho, who was valuable to the Black Organization's research efforts. Exasperated, the Black Organization came up with a trap for Akemi; they told her that she could leave the Black Organization with Shiho if she would rob 10 billion yen from a bank for them. The Black Organization expected Akemi to fail, which would give them the excuse to eliminate her while keeping Shiho loyal; however Akemi, with a team of robbers, succeeded in obtaining the money.

In the event of her success, the Black Organization had designed the second part of the robbery plan so that Akemi's assistants would kill each other or be unintentionally killed by the unwitting Akemi. However one accomplice had fled, forcing Akemi to use detective [[Kogoro Mouri]] to find him. After her first meeting with Kogoro, Akemi met with Shiho again.<ref name="Akemi Meeting"/> Akemi had not told Shiho about the robbery plan, but it seems that Shiho's detection of the Black Organization aura from Akemi<ref>Mitsuhiko's Mystifying Forest case (some translations do not have this line correct)</ref> and gossip had made Shiho aware that Akemi had done something dangerous. Without telling Shiho about the robbery, Akemi redirected the conversation to [[Conan Edogawa]], whom Akemi said was brilliant and had the composure of an adult. This conversation likely helped Shiho deduce Conan's identity as the missing Shinichi.

Later, after all the accomplices were killed, Akemi planned to hand access to the money over to Gin and Vodka at the shipyard.<ref>This is based on the manga version of this case. The anime alters this scene</ref> Instead, Gin murdered Akemi. A newspaper took a photo of the crime scene that included Conan looking downcast. Shiho later identified Conan using it.

Shiho already resented the Black Organization for using the incomplete APTX 4869 for killing purposes, but the news of Akemi's death was the final straw that induced Shiho to boycott her research until she received an official explanation for why her sister was killed. She was aware that Akemi pulled out a robbery, but Shiho might have suspended that there was more to the story. The Black Organization refused, and faced with the possibility that Shiho could defect or do something else drastic in revenge, decided to cut their loses by executing Shiho.

=== Escape from the Black Organization ===
[[Image:Shiho taking APTX4869.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Shiho swallows the [[APTX 4869]].]]
Awaiting the boss decided her execution, Shiho was handcuffed to a wall in a sealed room that also featured a garbage chute too small for an adult to fit in. With no other way out, she took a pill of APTX 4869 she had pocketed to commit suicide before she could be killed, but instead she shrank into a six- or seven-year-old girl. In her new, smaller body, she slipped her hand free of the cuff and used the garbage chute to escape the sealed room. She then attempted to reach Shinichi Kudo's house, hoping he might be able to help her. Exhausted, she collapsed in front of Kudo's house, where she was found by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], who eventually adopted her.<ref>Manga Chapter 179: The Girl Made Of Lies</ref> After this, Shiho Miyano took up the role of Ai Haibara. It turned out later that Agasa was a professional acquaintance of her parents and had spoken some with her father, [[Atsushi Miyano]], even though Agasa didn't know at that time the Miyanos had children.<ref>Manga Chapter 398: The Torn Friendship, Part 1</ref><ref>Manga Chapter 423: A Mystery Left by a Visitor</ref>

{{Main|Ai Haibara#Plot overview}}

=== Reunion with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume 24|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]]) ===
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]], Conan and Haibara find Gin's [[Cars#Porsche 356A|Porsche]] by chance. Conan plants a tracker and transmitter in the parked car and eavesdrops on Gin and Vodka when they return. Gin calls an agent named [[Pisco]] and discusses part of a plan to kill someone at a mourning party that will take place at the [[Haido City Hotel]]. Gin tells Pisco he can use the [[APTX 4869|"experimental detective"]] if needed. Gin then finds the tracker and destroys it, believing Sherry placed it there because he also found a single red hair that Haibara inadvertently lost while Conan was planting the bugs. Gin then warns Pisco about Sherry. Although initially reluctant, after hearing Pisco has APTX, Haibara decides to go to the party to try to obtain a sample. Pisco, who knew Shiho as a child, recognizes her as Haibara, kidnaps her using chloroform, and confines her in a wine storage room in another part of the hotel. He doesn't get the opportunity to tell anyone about his discovery because the police are rounding up suspects for the mourning party murder and he is one of them.

After Haibara wakes up, Conan tells Haibara to drink some [[baijiu]] in order to escape. While waiting for the change to occur, she copies some APTX data from a computer Pisco left behind onto a floppy disk. Haibara turns back into Shiho and changes into some leftover janitor clothes that Pisco left behind in the room as part of his disguise. Gin and Vodka break into the storage room looking for Pisco, but Shiho manages to hide herself just before they arrive by bracing her body in the chimney. Unfortunately, Gin hears her breathing and finds another one of her hairs. Instead of simply shooting her in the chimney, however, he goes to the roof to wait for her to finish climbing.
[[image:Sherry-getting-shot.png|thumb|left|200px|Shiho shot by Gin.]]
After she climbs out of the chimney, Shiho is confronted by Gin, who shoots her from behind. After exchanging some banter, Gin demands to know how Shiho escaped from the locked chamber room. Shiho remains silent, so Gin shoots her several more times non-fatally, hoping she will crack. Eventually, Gin and Vodka realize she won't talk, so Gin prepares to kill her. Conan meanwhile has arrived and darts Gin in the back with his tranquilizer watch. Using the voice changer to disguise his voice, Conan orders her to get back to the chimney. Vodka shoots Shiho just as she reaches the chimney, so Shiho falls down awkwardly.

In the fireplace, Shiho reverts back into Ai Haibara while Pisco watches. He congratulates her for having made so much progress on the APTX, whose effects he has just witnessed. He tells Shiho he was a close friend of the Miyanos while they were still alive, and they told him much about the drug they were developing. He knew her from when she was a baby, even though Shiho does not remember him. Pisco prepares to shoot her, but Conan stops him by distracting him at the last minute. Conan manages to trick Pisco into setting himself and the room on fire, and carries Haibara out of the room on his back before Pisco can find them again. Gin comes down the chimney and confronts Pisco. Before Pisco is able to tell Gin the truth about Shiho and APTX 4869, Gin kills Pisco for accidentally getting his picture taken in the act of murder during the mourning party.

Conan sneaks Haibara to Agasa's beetle and gives her his jacket. Haibara then lies to Conan about losing the disk of APTX data she copied.<ref>The bloody disk is on the bottom of the stack shown in Volume 25 File 9 (Chapter 251), Page 8 and Episode 188.</ref> Worried that the organization knows that she has shrunk, Haibara tells Conan she must leave the city. Agasa tells Haibara that her identity is safe because he eavesdropped on the conversation when Gin killed Pisco by using the tracking glasses Shiho dropped when she fell down the chimney.

=== Temporary antidote in Gunma (Manga: [[Volume 77|815-817]], Anime: [[The Shadow Approaching Haibara's Secret|699-700]]) ===
[[File:Shiho video.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The video of Shiho saving the [[Detective Boys]] (filmed by [[Mitsuhiko]]) that [[Amuro]] found on [[Kogoro]]'s computer.]]
On a camping trip in Gunma, the Detective Boys run across a murderer burying a body and are chased to a cabin in the woods where the killer and the victim had been staying. The murderer bars the door and sets the cabin alight with the children inside. The strength of the children is not enough to open the door and Ayumi passes out from the smoke. With Conan nowhere nearby, Haibara takes a temporary [[Antidote (Prototype)|antidote]], borrows the victim's clothing, and uses the murder weapon - an axe - to break down the door. Mitsuhiko, not realizing who she is, films her carrying Ayumi from the burning cabin and mails the video to Kogoro hoping he would find their savior. Bourbon logs into Kogoro's computer and sees the video, precipitating the events on the Bell Tree Express.

=== Impersonation by Kaitou Kid and faked death (Manga: [[Volume 78|818-824]], Anime: [[The Jet-Black Mystery Train|701-704]])===
[[File:Kaito Shiho 824.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Kaitou Kid flies away in the Shiho disguise.]]
To counter [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] and [[Vermouth]]'s plan to capture or kill Shiho aboard the Bell Tree Express, Conan, with [[Subaru Okiya]] and [[Yukiko Kudo]]'s help, devised a plan to keep Haibara hidden and force the ignorant [[Kaitou Kid]], only present to scout ahead for a future heist, to disguise as Shiho and confront Bourbon. Bourbon wound up confronting "Shiho" and fell for the thief's disguise because Haibara told Kaitou Kid what to say. In the confusion that followed, Subaru Okiya separated the rearmost carriage from the train, which then blew up because Vermouth had planted explosives there intending to kill Shiho to prevent Bourbon from capturing her alive. Kaitou Kid escaped in the nick of time, but the rest of the Black Organization, sans Vermouth, now believe Shiho Miyano is dead.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Akemi Miyano ====
After the death of Shiho's parents, Akemi became Shiho's only true ally within the darkness of the Black Organization. Through direct conversation and mail, Akemi showed Shiho the normal side of life that Shiho was unable to experience. Akemi would often admonish Shiho gently to do things normal for her age, such as encouraging her to get a boyfriend. Akemi's death had enough emotional impact to convince Shiho to betray the Black Organization by boycotting her research, even though she knew the act of defiance would likely result in her own death. Indicating that her sister was more important to Shiho than her research. Shiho greatly misses Akemi. In the non-canon [[Movie 5]], Shiho's desire to hear Akemi's voice again, even if only a message on a phone answering machine, was used by Gin and Vodka to nearly pinpoint Shiho's location.

==== Elena Miyano ====
Elena died when Shiho was young, so Shiho doesn't remember much of her. Elena left tapes for Shiho for each of her birthdays. Some of the messages are serious and mysterious, but others are more lighthearted and reveal things about Elena's past. It is clear from the tapes Elena loved Shiho very much, and Shiho misses her mother in turn and takes comfort in hearing her voice.

==== Atsushi Miyano ====
Shiho's feelings toward her late father is unknown, but she does show interest in seeing the house where he grew up.

==== Rumi Wakasa ====
It seems like Haibara was "triggered" by Rumi in the Burning Tent Murder Case when "prosthetic eye" was mentioned. Haibara then questioned whether Rumi got problems with her right eye's vision. But after the case was solved, she told Conan that she liked Rumi and that Conan shouldn't speak ill of her. Their relationship has been peaceful ever since.

=== The Black Organization ===
==== Gin ====
{{main|Gin and Sherry}}
[[Gin]] has an abnormal attachment for Shiho Miyano<ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref> and seems to enjoy hunting for her, while she seems to fear and hate him. They appear to know each other well despite being in different parts of the Organization. Gin can identify Shiho from a single auburn hair. [[Episode 129|When Shiho escaped from the Black Organization]], Gin began searching for her, ordering Vodka to bring her back dead or alive. Gin and Shiho had [[Reunion with the Black Organization|a direct confrontation]] later in the [[Setting#Haido City Hotel|Haido City Hotel]]. Since then, Shiho has managed to avoid any more direct contact with Gin.

The theory that the two may have had a relationship in the past has been mentioned in at least one official guidebook for the manga<ref name=CD239/> and has some traction in the fandom. [[Gosho Aoyama]] has deferred questions related to the issue in past interviews, asking for fans to be patient.<ref>青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013 [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/?p=287218]

Q: A girl asked about the "Sherry naked" thing, that why does Gin always think about her without clothes, what exactly is their relationship?

A: Gosho answered that they indeed had a relationship, but it wouldn't be interesting if (he) revealed it there, so please wait for it. The poster also mentioned that Gosho had a trolling (or something like that) laugh/smile at the time.
</ref>

==== Vodka ====
Shiho and [[Vodka]] have met and are acquaintances.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] and Shiho have some connection, although it has not been elaborated on. Shiho fears Vermouth more than other Black Organization members except perhaps Gin. Shiho was Vermouth's target, but Vermouth gave up on her after Conan's intervention. Vermouth appears to dislike the research the Miyanos engaged in, calling it foolish. Vermouth resents the Miyanos in general, but it is unclear if she hates Shiho specifically. That said, Vermouth considers Shiho to be someone who absolutely must die. If Shiho was in a romantic relationship with Gin, then Vermouth and Shiho were love rivals as Vermouth was in a sexual relationship with Gin.<ref name="CD239c">Conan Drill page 239, "恋のライバル…?" (Love rivals?)</ref>

==== Shuichi Akai ====
[[Shuichi Akai]] and Shiho are likely to have known each other via Akemi Miyano, whom Akai was dating. Shiho knew Akai under his alias "Dai Moroboshi", and she likely knows he was a spy and an FBI agent. In chapter 824, Bourbon mentions that Dai Moroboshi worked for the FBI in front of Kaitou Kid, disguised as Sherry, who was listening through a microphone <ref>Manga Chapter 824 ([http://25.media.tumblr.com/4b40277b84692b54c491654534be7ccf/tumblr_mpc528w9hS1qfn9zio1_r1_500.png])</ref>. Nonetheless, as Haibara, she is still afraid of and senses the "Black Organization aura" from Akai. Akai recognizes Haibara as Shiho, saying he is not willing to face her yet, likely over guilt related to the incidents culminating in Akemi's death.

== Name origin ==
"Shiho" (志保) means "will and sail", her surname is "Miyano" (宮野) means "shrine field". Sherry is Detective Shunsaku Kudo's (from [[wikipedia:ja:探偵物語|Tantei Monogatari (Detective Tales)]]) favorite liquor.

'''{{nihongo|Vodka|ウォッカ|Wokka}}''' is a character in the manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''. He is [[Gin]]'s partner and, like him, was first introduced under the name of Kaspar in the English manga, but then was later renamed to Vodka.

== Background ==
Vodka is a member of the [[Black Organization]] who is often seen by Gin's side. His official position is that of secretary in the general oversight division<ref>Conan Drill page 237. Vodka's position is 全体監視役秘書係 which roughly translates to General Oversight division secretary</ref>, so he handles most of the research and information for the duo, such as setting up meetings (309-311), and relaying information to other members (54, 345). Vodka is often seen using some transport.

== Appearance ==
Vodka has a muscular body, a wide chin making him look more like a member of the mafia, yakuza or simply a thug. Vodka wears a black fedora with a red stripe around it, also he wears black clothes but his shirt is red. Vodka is mostly seen wearing black glasses.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vodka calls Itakura.png|thumb|left|200px|Vodka makes a phone call to Itakura, but instead of him, Agasa and Conan are in Itakura's cottage.]]
Vodka speaks and acts like a typical mafia or Yakuza type gangster, and he is just as ruthless a killer as his partner Gin. However, he is also more easy-going and trusting than the latter, thus making him more susceptible to traps Conan sets to apprehend the Organization. In addition, he tends to not perform well under stress without guidance from Gin or other characters, as exemplified in [[Sherry's Return]] when, distracted by Gin being sedated, he fails to realize Shiho is escaping and stop her before it is too late.

While his astuteness is largely overshadowed by Gin, Vodka can notice details that Gin does not, sometimes to the point of endangering Conan. An example of this would again be in Sherry’s Return, where Vodka noted Haibara’s partially consumed bottle of [[baijiu]] and the unfolded laptop containing data about [[APTX 4869]]. (She had left these behind in order to be able to climb through the chimney and successfully escape from the room before the two arrived).
On the bullet train's dining car,<ref>Note that in the anime, their appearance was replaced by a pair of generic lookalike criminals.</ref> Vodka spotted a piece of gum that Conan had previously planted; however, Vodka then confirmed it was just a piece of gum, apparently unaware of the tracker hidden inside.
Another example occurred while Vodka was on the phone with Conan, who at the time was impersonating the Organization contact [[Suguru Itakura]] with his [[voice changing bowtie]]. During the conversation, Vodka heard the click of [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] turning on the lights in the background, although Conan again alleviates his suspicions by telling him that the sound was just the wind blowing. 

== Abilities ==
=== Shooting ===
Vodka is a fairly accurate shot with handguns. In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] he pretty accurately shoots at adult height where Conan is standing behind the door. Note that in the anime, Vodka is depicted as shooting wildly because the animators mistook the drawings of the muzzle flash for wall impacts.

=== Memory ===
Vodka apparently has a good memory. He could recall offhand the conditions, reasons, and circumstances of the Shinichi's death quite some time after the fact when Gin asked.

== Plot overview ==
Vodka was the first Black Organization member introduced to the series.

=== Blackmail Transaction with a Company Owner (Manga: [[Volume 1|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ===
[[File:Vodka's blackmail transaction.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Vodka conduct a blackmail transaction with a company owner.]]
Gin and Vodka blackmailed an unnamed company owner who had been smuggling guns for over 100 million yen in cash. After Vodka received the briefcase of cash, he returned the film evidence of the business' gun smuggling. Vodka may have intended to kill the man when the transaction was complete as he began to draw his gun, but it could also have been in response to the company owner's remark the Black Organization does even worse things than gun smuggling. The man escaped when Gin assaulted Shinichi who had been spying on the transaction and Vodka was distracted.

=== Murder of Akemi Miyano (Manga: [[Volume 2|16]], Anime: [[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]]) ===
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Gin confronting Akemi Miyano.]]
In order to free both her sister and herself from the Black Organization, [[Akemi Miyano]] accepts the mission to rob one billion yen from a bank. To increase the chances of her sucess, she hires a driver and a giant-like man as assistants. However, the driver, Kenzo Hirota, disappears with the cash after the robbery, forcing Akemi to search for him. She hires [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] under the alias "Masami Hirota", supposedly Kenzo's teenage daughter. Kogoro luckily manages to find Kenzo for Akemi; after she is left alone with Kenzo, she and their third partner kill Kenzo and stage his death as a suicide hanging after taking the money. Meanwhile, Gin and Vodka meets Masami, who call her Akemi Miyano. Gin asks where the money is. Akemi refuses to reveal the location without them giving up her sister, since she'd done the job on the condition that the two of them could leave after. Gin answers that her sister, as a "top brain" in the organization, is too indispensable to have ever considered giving up. Akemi refuses Gin offer of one last chance to reveal the money cache.

=== Bullet Train Case (Manga: [[Volume 4|33]]) ===
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|right|thumb|150px|Conan encounters Gin and Vodka.]]
Gin and Vodka board a bullet train to complete a transaction: selling information about gold for 400 million yen. They arrange the meeting place to be a dining car on the second floor of the bullet train. On the way to their seats, Gin and Vodka coincidentally encounter [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]. However, neither of them recognize that he is actually [[Shinichi Kudo]], because they are unaware of the rare shrinking effect of [[APTX 4869]]. Vodka simply orders Conan to get out of the way and they take their seats, which are very near the Mouris', without paying further attention to him. When Gin and Vodka go to make the transaction, Conan plants an eavesdropping bug in the seat ashtray. Once they return, he overhears them discussing how the black briefcase they exchanged for 400 million yen has no information about gold, but is a bomb their client is sure to set off without meaning to at a specific time. Conan also learns their codenames at this time. They leave the train at Nagoya station, before the explosion is set to occur when the client dials a specific phone number as instructed to learn how to open the case; the number is actually the bomb activator. It is unknown if Gin, Vodka, or the Organization know that Conan was the one who found the bomb and kicked it off the train just before it exploded.

=== Game Company Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]]) ===
[[File:Tequila talk with Vodka by phone-call.jpg|left|thumb|right|200px|Conan overhears Tequila start a phone-call with Vodka.]]
At the Mantendo Convention, Conan encounters the man code-named [[Tequila]]. Tequila appears at the Mantendo Corporation convention to buy a list of the best programmers in the world from one of the company employees, Hideaki Nakajima. The exchange occurs by the two men bumping into each other in the hallway and exchanging claim tickets for the convention hall's coat-check area. Tequila uses the claim ticket to obtain Hideaki's company briefcase; however, both men are unaware that Hideaki's ticket was previously switched with that of his co-worker with the intention of killing him via a briefcase-bomb. When Tequila opens the briefcase, the explosion kills him.

Meanwhile, Conan sees Tequila again on their way back, trading tag 98 for a Mantendo-employee briefcase. Conan is curious, but decides it's not his problem until he overhears the man start a phone-call with Vodka by identifying himself as Tequila and ask Vodka to tell Gin that he promise to meet both of them later.

=== The University Professor Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 18|179-180]] and [[Volume 19|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ===
[[File:Conan realize Vodka voice.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Conan and Haibara realize Vodka disguised as a person from "Kuro Life Insurance".]]
Masami Hirota, age 61, was a Nanyo University professor. Akemi Miyano had contact with and was probably close to him because she borrowed his name when coming up with an alias. Shiho mistakenly sent him an APTX 4869 disk when it was mixed up for a disk of Akemi's pictures Shiho was sending back via the professor's address. The Black Organization intended to kill Masami Hirota, but he was killed by an unrelated person first. Vodka disguised his voice and left a message on his answering machine pretending to be from "Kuro Life Insurance" so he could try to set up a meeting.

=== Reunion with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume 24|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]]) ===
Gin and Vodka are planning to eliminate someone, and already has a member named [[Pisco]] in Haido City Hotel. Pisco recognizes Haibara's childhood form and on Gin's order, kidnaps her from the wake after he murders the target. Then Gin and Vodka are on their way to the hotel and intercept her, in Shiho's form, on the roof. Gin shoots her several times as torture to make her answer how she escaped the gas chamber. When she refuses, Gin is about to kill her when Conan shoots Gin with the tranquilizer needle and orders Shiho via th voice-changing bowtie to escape back down the chimney. Gin shoots himself in the arm to stay awake, while Vodka tries unsuccessfully to shoot Conan, letting Shiho escape successfully just before she reverts to Haibara.

In the chimney, Haibara meet Kenzo Masuyama who is revealed to be Pisco. When he is just about to shoot Haibara, Conan reveals himself to Pisco. Ethanol fumes are set alight by Pisco's cigarette and the whole cellar catches fire. Conan and Haibara escape in the confusion. Pisco hears someone getting down the chimney. He thought that it was Conan and Haibara, but it was actually Gin who had survived from Conan's tranquilizer darts. He then tells Pisco that he was photographed when commiting the crime, and then shoots him, resulting in his death.

=== Vodka's rendezvous with Suguru Itakura (Manga: [[Volume 37|380-382]] and [[Volume 38|381]], Anime: [[Contact with the Black Organization|309-311]]) ===
[[File:Vodka call Conan.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Vodka talking with Conan who using Itakura's voice with his voice changing bowtie.]]
[[Ran Mouri|Ran]] tells Conan that [[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] is an FBI agent causing Conan to wonder what the FBI are doing in Japan. Conan heads to Agasa to analyze the data from [[Suguru Itakura|Itakura]]'s disk and learn that the Black Organization were going to Itakura's cottage to retrieve the program he was working on. Conan and Agasa head to Itakura's cottage in an attempt to intercept the email the email the Black Organization would send in order to trace them. However, the email was programmed to be deleted if the correct password was not typed and subsequently causes the Black Organization members to believe Itakura is in the cottage. Vodka phones the house and believing Itakura is in the cottage, to pick up the phone.

Once arriving at their destination point, Conan reveals that the two people are the jewelry robbers. Conan reveals that they hijacked a car as evidenced by the man's inability to handle the foreign car and how coins were found in the ashtray yet the man is a smoker. Conan apprehends the two culprits and proceeds to the subway. Once there Conan places the CD containing the program the Black Organization wants and places it in a coin locker with a check sticking out of the prearranged locker. Vodka arrives and takes the CD but is stopped by Gin who revealed that there is tape on the CD which means that someone was trying to get his fingerprint. Gin finds a tracker device. He places his hand on the case to find out its warm meaning the one who set up the disk is nearby. Conan manages to hide in a coin locker and passes out due to the lack of oxygen; He is found by [[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] the next day.

=== Disguised as Zombie in Halloween Party (Manga: [[Volume 42|429-434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ===

[[Vermouth]] sends a signed off-season Halloween party invitation to Kogoro Mouri and to Conan addressed for Shinichi Kudo challenging them to solve a murder on the ship. Conan asks Haibara who is still sick about the name Vermouth, and learns from her reaction that it is the codename of one of the Black Organization members.

Agasa’s house is still bugged and Conan takes advantage of that to manipulate Vermouth into believing he is going to go to the party. Conan knows at this time Vermouth wants to avoid catching him up in her plan to capture Sherry because of the events at New York in the Golden Apple case.

Gin has been ordered by the boss to look into Vermouth’s movements related to the Halloween party and tells Vodka to board the ship and investigate. He has no idea what Vermouth is doing but tells Vodka to kill her if she does anything weird even if she is the boss' favorite.

The invisible man gathers the party guests to the bow of the boat and reveals his identity as Shinichi and declares werewolf as the murderer. Vodka is very surprised and remembers that Gin had killed Shinichi in Tropical Land. The Shinichi present at the boat is then revealed to have been [[Heiji Hattori]] in disguise.

Vermouth is on the phone with Gin. Vermouth passes on the information that [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] came across, which is that Sherry was hiding in Gunma and was going to travel on the Bell Tree Express, a train own by Suzuki family which hosts a special mystery onboard. Vermouth recalls her encounter with Conan and her promise to let Sherry go. She justifies the upcoming attack on Sherry as Bourbon's job and asks Gin not to interfere before the train reaches its destination.

At the Bell Tree Express, there's an unexpected murder case. Etsuto Murobashi, a passanger room B car 7, was killed in a sealed room (8B).

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Differences in the anime ===
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
==== The Shinkansen's Bomb Case ([[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Anime 5]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred after [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin and Vodka are replaced with unrelated criminals who look and dress very similarly. The replacement of Gin and Vodka created a continuity error because the episode omitted how Conan learned their codenames, which was important to identifying Tequila as a member of the Black Organization in the [[Game Company Murder Case]]. In the Funimation dub, they fixed this continuity error by having Heiji Hattori hint the code names Gin and Vodka.

==== The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case ([[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Anime 13]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred before [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin was replaced by a similar looking man with glasses who shot but did not kill Akemi Miyano. This created a rather large continuity error.<ref>Akemi's participation in the robbery was a deal she made with the Black Organization stipulating that if she successfully stole the money, she and her sister would be freed. However, the Organization had intended for her to fail so they could kill her for having a relationship with the FBI infiltrator [[Shuichi Akai]]. Although Akemi was successful, Gin killed her anyway. Her death, which the Black Organization refused to explain, was part of the motive that led to Sherry betraying the Organization.</ref> The continuity error was corrected in [[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]]. Other information that wound up being delayed included Gin revealing that Akemi had a scientist sister who was valuable to the Organization, and that he was left handed based on how he held his handgun.

==== Murder of Akemi Miyano ([[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|Anime 128]]) ====
Akemi Miyano, works as a bank teller under the alias "Masami Hirota" to prepare for the upcoming robbery. With the assistance of Shirou Kaizuka (a racecar driver) and Kishi (one of the bank guards), Akemi steals one billion yen from a transport van. However, soon after the Black Organization murders Akemi’s two accomplices and a lipstick-smeared facemask is left at the crime scene in order to frame Akemi as the third robber (which she is), who killed her partners to keep all the money herself (which she didn't). Meanwhile, Gin and Vodka meets Masami, who call her Akemi Miyano. Gin asks where the money is. Akemi refuses to reveal the location without them giving up her sister, since she'd done the job on the condition that the two of them could leave after. Gin answers that her sister, as a "top brain" in the organization, is too indispensable to have ever considered giving up. Akemi refuses Gin offer of one last chance to reveal the money cache.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Gin ===
Vodka is a subordinate of [[Gin]]'s and they frequently work together as a team, or are seen communicating with one another by phone. Vodka shows Gin absolute respect, using honorifics<ref> Vodka refers to Gin as "aniki", which literally means "big brother" and is a quasi-affectionate term for people within a tight social circle. However, the term is also used by yakuza-types to respectfully refer to their bosses.</ref> while speaking with Gin rather than just simply using his codename. Gin in turn values Vodka for his obedience. Gin views and treats Vodka as an "inexperienced little brother".<ref name=CD239a>Conan drill page 239: 出来の悪い弟分</ref>

=== Tequila ===
Vodka and [[Tequila]] are approximately equally ranked. Both are Gin's subordinates.<ref name=CD239/>

=== Sherry ===
Vodka is acquainted with [[Shiho Miyano]].<ref name=CD239>Conan drill page 239</ref>

=== Vermouth ===
Throughout the series, Vodka has not been shown as having any negative emotions regarding [[Vermouth]], unlike other members of the Organization (like [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]]). Vodka and Vermouth have been seen along on missions sometimes, but in general they don't pay much attention to each other.
She does tease Vodka about his lack of literary knowledge when he fails to understand how Haido Park could be a place most suited for hunting.

== Character popularity ==
eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character.

== Name origin ==
Vodka is the name of a type of wine made by the distillation of converted substances such as grains, potatoes, or sometimes fruits or sugar.

Vodka's English dub name, Kaspar, is the name of one of the three Magi in Christian tradition. In accordance with that theme, Gin's English name, Melchior, is also the name of one of the Magi.

== Trivia ==
* Vodka was the first Black Organization member to appear and speak. In the first episode of the anime, he rushed towards the roller coaster yelling, "Move it! Move it! We were here first!". His bulky body blocked Gin from view for a few seconds, who was walking right behind Vodka. Gin remained silent as they boarded the roller coaster and only uttered his first words after the murder took place.
* Vodka has never been seen taking off his hat or sunglasses. His eyes were shown only during episode 345.

'''{{nihongo|Gin|ジン|Jin}}''' is the third-in-command in the [[Black Organization]] and a main antagonist of the series. He is the organization member who gave [[Shinichi Kudo]] the experimental poison [[APTX 4869]] which turned him into [[Conan Edogawa]].<ref name=Eyes>Manga Chapter 1: The Heisei Holmes</ref> He is frequently paired on missions with [[Vodka]]. In the English manga, he was first introduced as Melkior, but later was reverted to Gin. This is likely due to the fact that Conan is often reminded of the Black Organization by references to alcohol.

== Background ==
Gin is a high-ranking "executive agent", often giving the other members their orders and supervising group missions. He works in the "[[Black Organization#Organization structure and divisions|general oversight division]]" along with [[Vodka]] who is his partner. Despite his high ranking leadership position, he often takes to the field to participate in missions, complete business transactions, and assassinate people. When on missions, he is typically the one giving orders, even to agents who are equally ranked, like Vermouth. Gin seems to be able to communicate freely with the [[The Boss|boss]].

Virtually nothing of Gin's history before the present timeline is known. From the FBI's discussion, he was in a high ranking position, perhaps the same one, two years ago, and his appearance has not changed between then and the current timeline.

Two years ago, FBI agent [[Shuichi Akai]], who was on a infiltration mission, was promoted to the codename Rye. He was called to work under Gin and a meeting for them was set in a warehouse. The FBI staked out the warehouse hoping to capture Gin as it was believed he could lead them to the boss,<ref name=599p9>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 9: "Akai's Past"</ref> but the Black Organization discovered Akai's true allegiance and Gin never appeared.<ref name=599p10>Manga Volume 58, File 2, pg 10: "Akai's Past"</ref>

When the tracker placed on the new agent [[Hidemi Hondou|Rena Mizunashi]] indicated she was in a warehouse where she shouldn't be, Gin and Vodka went to investigate. At the time she was meeting with her father and fellow CIA agent, [[Ethan Hondou]]. Recognizing that if Gin discovered the situation he would know they were spies, Ethan committed suicide to protect Hidemi by making it look like she had confronted him for being a spy and had killed him. Gin believed the ploy.

== Personality ==
Of the high ranking members of the Black Organization shown, Gin is the most loyal: he follows the boss' orders most closely and virtually never acts against the Organization's greater interests. He is also one of the Black Organization's most dangerous operatives; Conan miscalculating his intelligence, abilities, and speed of response have resulted in several very close calls and awry plans.<ref>Volume 24, Files 7-11, Chapters 238-242</ref><ref name=383p>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383: "The New Weapon Gadget"</ref><ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref>

[[Image:Gin's murderous eyes.png‎|thumb|left|200px|Gin's murderous eyes.]]
Gin is a merciless and efficient assassin. He has no compunctions about killing or threatening fellow teammates. Fitting his icy personality, Gin's displayed range of emotions so far is relatively limited. Wearing a threatening smirk, he enjoys hunting traitors, watching the plans he has concocted succeed, and cornering his targets. Although he seems to take satisfaction with taking out someone personally, Gin is also satisfied with orchestrating a target's death even if he does not pull the trigger himself.<ref>In the Red Shirt's case while Gin was staking out the Beika department store waiting for Scar Akai to appear, he replies to Kir's remark that "Why don't you [Gin]... just enjoy the fact your nemesis is gone?" with "Yeah, I'm so happy... If he is still alive, I get to kill him again." This shows that Gin considers Akai's death as "his kill" even though it was Kir who pulled the trigger at Raiha pass, and if scar Akai is killed, it will be Chianti or Korn who finishes the job. He is apparently satisfied with the orchestrator role and doesn't feel the need to personally kill Akai himself.</ref> He is not easily frustrated and takes setbacks in good stride, shown when he coolly orders a retreat when Shuichi Akai ambushed the Black Organization and when [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] tricks him and wastes his time by disguising as [[Scar Akai]]. He is patient and cautious, preferring to wait until success is most likely.<ref>He orders Chianti and Korn on several occasions to wait before shooting for better opportunities.</ref> He does not like potential loose ends, preferring to get rid of anything doubtful.<ref>In Volume 49, File 4, Chapter 504, Gin orders for Conan to be shot because he acted suspiciously, even though he was a child.</ref> Gin does not trust anyone and does not fully believe anything he doesn't witness himself.<ref>Manga Chapter 702: The Bomber's Aim</ref>
 Certain individuals elicit more of a response than others from Gin. Gin doesn't seem to enjoy Vermouth's antics; he tried to put an icepick through her head after she disguised herself as a waiter to tease him. Gin finds Bourbon<ref name=703p3>Manga Volume 67, File 7, page 3: "The Truth Amidst the Snowstorm"</ref>, who has several shared characteristics with Vermouth<ref name=703p3/>, annoying as well. He has a personal rivalry with Shuichi Akai, and takes interest when the FBI agent gets involved. [[Gin#Sherry|For uncertain reasons]], Gin has an abnormal attachment<ref>[[Conan Drill]] page 239, Gin's feelings towards Shiho on a relationship diagram were listed as "異常な執着": "abnormal attachment"</ref> to Shiho Miyano, so he broke from his normal efficiency-oriented hunting strategy in favor of a more dramatic confrontation with her for his personal enjoyment.

Gin is very skilled in his managerial role; he keeps the boss informed on current happenings, yet is also a decisive and quick acting leader in his own regard. Gin often consults the boss about actions that may have potentially serious ramifications, like getting permission to kill Kogoro, who is popular and closely connected to the police, after Gin found a [[Microphone|listening device]] and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|tracking device]] on Kir's shoe that he believes were planted by the detective. Although Gin follows all orders from the boss, he acts on his own initiative on more than one occasion. One such action was deciding to poison [[Shinichi Kudo]] with the recently approved [[APTX 4869]] at [[Tropical Land]] after Gin caught him spying. Gin is more than willing to take matters into his own hands when he feels another member has endangered the Organization.<ref name=Smart>Manga Chapter 383: The New Weapon</ref> He even once pulled a gun on his own partner, Vodka, when he went against orders and rescheduled a meeting with one of their contacts outside of the organization to an earlier time.<ref name=Smart/>
[[File:Maybe he really did know Conan was in there....PNG|thumb|right|200px|Gin opens the locker Conan is hiding in.]]
Gin's effective leadership is shown in how he manages the diverse personalities of his team on missions. If Gin feels any frustration or scorn regarding the behavior or abilities of any of his teammates, he does not show it unless it is actively interfering with his plans or threatening the Organization. However, that doesn't stop him from being contemptuous about others behind their backs.<ref>Gin disliked Pisco, but did not show it while detailing him about his mission. Gin only complains about Bourbon, Vermouth, and Pisco when they are not around (Bourbon, Vermouth) or their opinion does not matter. (Pisco)</ref> The other members' respect for Gin keeps them in line and coerces them into obeying orders. Only Vermouth has actively objected to Gin's plans on a mission. He also respects the desires of his teammates to a certain degree, even though he may distrust them. Despite his personal suspicions, he let Vermouth persuade him to leave Conan and Kogoro alone, and he decided not to kill anyone at the hospital after Kir requested it even though he was unsure of her loyalty.

However, Gin has two notorious weaknesses. He has difficulty remembering the faces and names of those he has killed. Vodka's memory makes up for this somewhat, but Gin notices connections later as a result. As soon as Gin becomes suspicious of someone he gets to work looking into them,<ref>Manga Chapter 700: Dangerous Area</ref> but if his suspicions are proven wrong he tends to lose interest completely.<ref>Vodka's report about "Shinichi" appearing on the Ghost Ship.</ref><ref name=Scar/><ref>Movie 13: [[The Raven Chaser]]</ref> His more conventional logic has also meant he has missed important deductions. This was most notable when Gin decided to stop searching lockers because no adult could fit in them, apparently overlooking that one of the lookouts had mentioned a kid entering the station earlier.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Gin2 color page V24-7 closeup.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Gin's manga appearance in color.]]
Gin is a tall, thin man of uncertain age. His most noticeable feature is his long silver hair that goes down to his hips. (In the anime, Gin's hair was light-brown at first, then blond, then finally changed to match the manga as can be seen in the 13th movie: [[The Raven Chaser]].) It is cut at the front into bangs which often obscure his eyes, which are blue (like all the other characters) in the manga, and green in the anime. He has, as Shinichi had put it, the eyes of someone who has easily killed many people without a care.<ref name=Eyes/> In the manga, his face is somewhat gaunt, with visible cheekbones and a triangular dark patch below each eye. Later in the series he receives a scar on his left cheek after a bullet from Shuichi Akai's rifle grazes him.<ref name=Scar>Manga Chapter 504: Black Organization vs. FBI 2</ref>

Gin's look has never changed in all of his appearances. He wears a black fedora with a grey or white hatband. His only shown outfit is a knee length, notched lapel, black trenchcoat with the collar upturned to obscure part of his face and a loose white turtleneck underneath. He likely also wears a ballistic vest beneath these. He wears black trousers and black dress shoes. When trying to avoid leaving fingerprints, he dons a pair of white gloves, black in the anime.

Gin is a heavy smoker. He is also left handed.

== Abilities ==
=== Intelligence and instinct ===
Gin is quite perceptive and intelligent.<ref name=Smart/>. He can smell out traps his partner Vodka easily falls for. Gin is also good at deduction. He correctly infers the FBI plan to move the captured Organization member Kir, and also explains to Vodka the biological principles behind why an old man with severe heart conditions wouldn't go to a cold cabin in the dead of winter. Unlike most intelligent characters in the series, Gin also relies on his good instinct. A few times so far, he correctly suspects there is more to a situation than the evidence alone indicates. He correctly suspects that Kogoro (really Conan) was not completely innocent<ref>Volumes 48, Files 9-10, Volume 49, Files 1-4, Chapters 599-504</ref> and that getting Kir back from the FBI was too easy. At one point while searching for the "clever fox" who set them up, Gin begins opening child size lockers on a whim. He just stops at the one Conan was hiding in and chides himself for doing so because there was no way an adult could hide in those lockers.<ref>Volume 38, File 1, Chapter 383</ref> By the close of the Bourbon arc, he is aware [[Conan Edogawa|someone]] is investigating the organization and that there are likely spies within it, thus a purge is justified.

=== Stamina ===
Gin seems to have undergone serious physical training, giving him incredible stamina and a high pain tolerance, as shown when he remained conscious after being hit by Conan's [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|stun-gun wristwatch]] and then shot himself in the arm to regain full consciousness in Episode 178. He then climbed down and back up a chimney despite the shot in the arm.<ref>Manga Chapter 242: A White World</ref> In Episode 425, he was able to flee with internal injuries bad enough to cause him to bleed from the mouth when Akai put two rifle rounds in his ballistic vest.

=== Firearms ===
==== Handguns ====
Gin is skilled with handguns. He prefers a Beretta 92.

=== Sniping ===
Although Gin has not fired a sniper rifle canonically, Gin probably has sniping skills based on the way he handled Korn's rifle to locate [[Shuichi Akai]] who is 700 yards away, center him in the scope, and steadily aim at him while standing up.<ref>Anime Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out</ref> In [[Countdown to Heaven]], Gin is an excellent sniper, as shown when he attempts to snipe [[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]], mistaking her for Sherry.<ref>Movie 5: Countdown to Heaven</ref>

== Plot overview ==
==== Shinichi and APTX 4869 (Manga: [[Volume 1#Prologue - Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|1]]) ====
[[File:EP1 26.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi Kudo is forced to ingest the poison APTX 4869.]]
In his first appearance in the series, Gin goes to [[Tropical Land]] with Vodka to complete a transaction with [[Black organization#Unnamed Weapons Smuggler|a company owner]] they were blackmailing for gun smuggling. The two board the Mystery Coaster before the meeting to observe from the pinnacle of the coaster if the business man had come alone to the meeting spot below the ferris wheel. A murder occurs on the coaster and the two are forced to remain at the scene as suspects, although Gin yells at [[Shinichi Kudo]] and [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] several times to hurry up and let them go. Shinichi observes that Gin has the appearance and air of a cold-blooded killer. They are released after Shinichi apprehends the true killer. His and Vodka's suspicious appearance cause Shinichi to follow them and encounter them completing the transaction with the businessman. Gin, who seems to have been keeping watch, knocks down Shinichi with a pipe he found, then force-feeds him [[APTX 4869]]. His parting words to Shinichi are "So long, great detective."

==== Murder of Akemi Miyano (Manga: [[Volume 2#Masami Hirota Case|16]], Anime: [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|13]]&[[The Black Organization: One Billion Yen Robbery Case|128]]) ====
[[File:V2-7 Such an awkwardly shaped panel.PNG|thumb|left|150px|Gin converses with Akemi just before he murders her.]]
Before the current storyline, undercover [[FBI]] agent [[Shuichi Akai]] dated [[Akemi Miyano]], the older sister of [[Shiho Miyano]], in order to infiltrate the Organization. Akai's true allegiance was discovered and he was expelled from the organization. Initially, the Organization couldn't do anything about Akemi because they needed the loyalty of her sister Shiho Miyano, who very valuable as a researcher on the APTX 4869 project.

Two years later the Organization decided that the risk of her contact with Akai was too much. They decided to create a situation where they could eliminate her by having her do a bank heist she was supposed to fail, and Gin was put in charge of making a deal with her. Akemi Miyano was told that the only way that she and [[Shiho Miyano|her sister]] would be allowed to leave the Black Organization was to successfully pull off a 10 billion yen bank robbery. After succesfully completing the robbery and tricking her into accidentally poisoning one of her team members, she confronts Gin at the shipping yard to complete the transaction. She tries to tell Gin to hold up his end of the bargain, but he tells her the Organization wouldn't let her sister leave anyway because she was too valuable. He then kills Akemi and flees.

==== Bullet Train Case (Manga: [[Volume 4#Shinkansen Bomb Case|33]], Anime: [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|5]]) ====
[[File:Gin and Vodka on a train.PNG|thumb|right|150px|Gin and Vodka appear on the Shinkansen in the manga.]]
Gin and Vodka are tasked with eliminating a former business parter who had become useless by tricking her into making a transaction with them involving what she thinks is information about 400 million yen worth of gold. Their plan is set aboard a [[Wikipedia: Shinkansen|Shinkansen]]. During a meeting in the dining car, Gin and Vodka will receive a large case of money from the client who will be given a black attaché containing what she believes is the gold information. However, the case actually contains a bomb rigged to explode when she calls a certain number on her mobile phone.

Conan almost walks into Gin's legs when Gin and Vodka board the Shinkansen. Vodka yells at Conan, and Gin glares coldly, but neither recognize him. It is much later revealed Gin is particularly bad at remembering the faces of those he killed. They sit down nearby with their black attaché case. When they leave to go to the dining car and make the transaction, Conan bugs their seats. After they return with the suitcase full of the client's money, Conan overhears Gin explain to Vodka the details of the bombing plan. Conan is also able to learn Gin and Vodka's codenames. Gin and Vodka disembark at Nagoya to avoid being caught in the explosion, and Conan is stopped from chasing them by Ran. Conan then turns his attention to finding the bomb and successfully ejects the black case from the train before it explodes. Unfortunately, the client knows little about Gin and Vodka or their Organization so the police are unable to do anything.

==== Contact with the Black Organization (Manga: [[Volume 12#Game Convention Case|114-116]], Anime: [[Game Company Murder Case|54]]) ====
[[Tequila]] calls Vodka and tells him to inform Gin that the briefcase exchange for the list of world's best programmers was successful. Gin does not show up in person in this case.

==== Sherry's Escape (Manga: [[Volume 18#Missing Older Brother Case|177]], [[Volume 19#Murdered Professor Case|181]], Anime: [[The Girl from the Black Organization and the University Professor Murder Case|129]]) ====
Gin and Vodka were supposed to kill Sherry because she stopped all work on the APTX project to boycott the Organization's reticence about Akemi Miyano's death. Gin and Vodka pull Shiho from her lab and handcuff her to a pipe in a small locked room to await the Organization's judgment. At this time, Sherry takes the Apoptoxin 4869 she had hidden to commit suicide, but instead she shrinks and escapes through a rubbish chute. When Gin and Vodka return, she isn't there. They and many other members of the Organization are ordered to find her, but he and Vodka have no luck. Gin in particular is shown to have an obsession with capturing Sherry and killing her himself.

==== Haido City Hotel (Manga: [[Volume 24#Hotel Party Murder Case|238-242]], Anime: [[Reunion with the Black Organization|176-178]]) ====
One day, Conan and Haibara saw Gin's car on a street. They attached a transmitter to it only some seconds before he arrived there. After a while, Gin found an auburn hair in the car and he deduced it was Shiho's. He also found the transmitter and destroyed it, after that is the famous moment when he imagines Shiho naked.
However, Conan and Haibara knew he was going to go to the Haido Hotel, so they followed him too. There, Pisco kidnapped Haibara and took her to a room with a big fireplace. When Gin and Vodka arrived at the room, she (with her adult body because of the Baikal) was hidden in the fireplace. Gin heard her breathing, and intercepted Haibara at the roof when she tried to flee, shooting her many times. When he was ready to kill her, Conan arrived and shot a sleeping dart at Gin. However, he showed a resistance to it, not falling asleep instantly, and shot himself in the arm so that he could stay conscious. After that, he climbed down the chimney, killed Pisco and climbed back up. He returned to his car with Vodka and Vermouth and conversed about Sherry or Shiho. In this chapter, it is hinted that he knows Shiho very well, predicting her movements and being able to confidently identify her by just a hair she left in his car.

==== Prior to the Bus Hijacking (Manga: [[Volume 29#File 287 - The Unseen Horror|287]], Anime: [[The Mysterious Passenger|230]]) ====

[[File:Heat Checking.png|thumb|right|200px|Gin can tell the CD was planted very recently.]]
Once arriving at their destination point, Conan reveals that the two people are the jewelry robbers. Conan reveals that they hijacked a car as evidenced by the man's inability to handle the foreign car and how coins were found in the ashtray yet the man is a smoker. Conan apprehends the two culprits and proceeds to the subway. Once there Conan places the CD containing the program the Black Organization wants and places it in a coin locker with a check sticking out of the prearranged locker. Vodka arrives and takes the CD but is stopped by Gin who revealed that there is tape on the CD which means that someone was trying to get his fingerprint. Gin finds a tracker device. He places his hand on the case to find out its warm meaning the one who set up the disk is nearby. Conan manages to hide in a coin locker and passes out due to the lack of oxygen; He is found by Haibara the next day.

==== Vermouth's Unmasking (Manga: [[Volume 42#Halloween Party Case|429, 434]], Anime: [[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|345]]) ====
Gin has been ordered by the boss to look into Vermouth's movements related to a Halloween party aboard a ship and tells Vodka to board in costume and investigate. Gin has no idea what Vermouth is doing but tells Vodka to kill her if she does anything weird even if she is the boss’s favorite. Aboard the ship, a man blackmailed by Vermouth kills the ship's captain, and the murder is solved by [[Heiji Hattori]] in disguise as Shinichi Kudo. Vodka initially reports Shinichi's presence to Gin, but then corrects the information when Heiji takes off the Shinichi disguise and states that he was hoping that appearing as Shinichi would lure the real guy out.

The murderer then begins shouting that someone named Vermouth forced him to murder the captain. Vodka presumably reports this development to Gin who reports to the boss because Vermouth later receives a message from the boss ordering her back. Vermouth, who was never aboard the ship in the first place, is badly injured by [[Shuichi Akai]] and a self-inflicted gunshot and calls Gin from a telephone booth for pickup because she can't move. While on the phone, Gin asks her if she knows someone named Shinichi Kudo and she lies, saying she doesn't know him.

==== Black Impact (Manga: [[Volume 48#Black Organization vs. FBI|500]][[Volume 49#Black Organization vs FBI|-504]], Anime: [[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out|425]]) ====
[[File:Gin's scope sniped.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shuichi Akai shoots Gin's scope out and grazes his cheek. The wound will eventually scar and is seen in all of Gin's later appearances.]]
Gin coordinates the assassination of Domon Yasuteru. His first plan, is to get Domon interviewed using Kir, have him sit down on a bench, where [[Chianti]] and [[Korn]] to kill him. His backup plan; which consisted of Vermouth in disguise crashing in front of Domon's car, after which Kir, Chianti, and Korn would kill Domon and his two bodyguards, was canceled when he discovered the transmitter Conan set up. Gin assumes the transmitter was set up by Kogoro, and gets permission from the boss to kill him. However, the assassination of Kogoro is interrupted by Conan whose soccer ball breaking Mouri's window distracts Chainti and Korn who were taking aim. Over the protests of Vermouth, Gin orders the two snipers to kill Conan as well for, as Vodka says, being suspicious. This too is interrupted when Shuichi Akai snipes the transmitter out from between Gin's fingers from 700 yards away. A brief exchange of gunfire ensues, but ends quickly after Akai shoots out Gin's scope and puts two bullets in his flak jacket. Gin recognizes the disadvantage and orders the Black Organization members to disperse without taking any more action against Conan or Kogoro. Gin and the other operatives assume the transmitter was set up by the FBI, but still has residual suspicions about Kogoro. Gin eventually decides not to kill Kogoro at the word of Vermouth.

==== The Search for Kir (Manga: [[Volume 53#Mysterious Job Case|553,]] [[Volume 54#Mysterious Job Case|555]], Anime: [[The Shadow of the Black Organization|464-465]]) ====
In an attempt to locate Kir's whereabouts throughout the city, Chianti is convinced that Kir is captured by the FBI and tells about past Kir over a dead man killed by Kir and says he has a new track. Later, he remember the name is Hondou repeatedly to listen to the man who called the man's body.

==== Clash of Red and Black (Manga: [[Volume 58#Kir Transport Case|599]]-[[Volume 59#Foreign Suspect Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black|491-504]]) ====

===== Akai's Assassination (Manga: [[Volume 58#Foreign Suspect Case|605]]-[[Volume 59#Foreign Suspect Case|609]], Anime: [[Clash of Red and Black!#Friday the Thirteenth .28Manga: 605-609.2C 501-504.29|501-504]]) =====
Gin is the one that orders Kir to kill Akai. He doubted her allegiances to the Organization and was suspicious of her so he put her at gunpoint and forced her to call Akai to tell him to meet her somewhere. He tells her he will be watching the whole assassination so if she planned on doing anything suspicious, he would kill her. Kir kills Akai, actually helped him to fake his death, and Gin is reassured of her allegiance to the Organization.

==== Scar Akai and the Beika Department Store (Manga: [[Volume 67#Department Store Bomber Case|700-704]], Anime: [[The Crisis Beckoned by the Red Omen|578]]-[[The Red Shaking Target|581]]) ====

Before Gin orders Chianti to shoot Scar Akai, Vermouth appears and speaks with Gin about a plan she received the boss' authorization for. Scar Akai notices Chianti taking aim at him and smirks, which makes her lose her aim and allows Scar Akai to disappear into the crowd. Gin lowers the gun from Kir's head and decides to drop the assassination attempt, commenting how Bourbon likes to do what he pleases.

==== Sherry and the Bell Tree Express Train (Manga: [[Volume 78|818-824]], Anime: [[The Raven Mystery Train|701-704]]) ====
After finding out from Vermouth that Sherry was going to board the Bell Tree Express train, Gin and Vodka organized an effort to place enough explosives at the train's destination station to blow up the entire train. Meanwhile, Vermouth and [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] boarded the train with a separate plan in mind to catch Sherry. When Vodka wondered how Vermouth and Bourbon were going to get off the train before it arrived at the station, Gin revealed that he didn't know or care about their fates. Vermouth's attempted assassination of Sherry wound up stopping the train before it arrived at the destination station, rendering Gin's plan moot. Gin asked for confirmation that Sherry was killed, which Vermouth endorsed only to find out soon after that she had been tricked. Because Vermouth kept this deception secret, Gin believes Shiho to be dead.

==== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90|951-953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ====

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Differences in the anime ===
{{main|List of differences between the manga and anime}}
==== The Shinkansen's Bomb Case ([[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case|Anime 5]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred after [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin and Vodka are replaced with unrelated criminals who look and dress very similarly. The replacement of Gin and Vodka created a continuity error because the episode omitted how Conan learned their codenames, which was important to identifying Tequila as a member of the Black Organization in the [[Game Company Murder Case]].

==== The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case ([[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case|Anime 13]]) ====
In the manga, this case occurred before [[The Shinkansen's Bomb Case]]. In the anime version of this case, Gin was replaced by a similar looking man with glasses who shot but did not kill Akemi Miyano. This created a rather large continuity error.<ref>Akemi's participation in the robbery was a deal she made with the Black Organization stipulating that if she successfully stole the money, she and her sister would be freed. However, the Organization had intended for her to fail so they could kill her for having a relationship with the FBI infiltrator Shuichi Akai. Although Akemi was successful, Gin killed her anyway. Her death, which the Black Organization refused to explain, was part of the motive that led to Sherry betraying the Organization.</ref> The continuity error was corrected in [[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|episode 128]]. Other information that wound up being delayed included Gin revealing that Akemi had a scientist sister who was valuable to the Organization, and that he was left handed based on how he held his handgun.

==== The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case ([[The Black Organization: 1 Billion Yen Robbery Case|Anime 128]]) ====
This case corrected by continuity error created in [[The Strange Person Hunt Murder Case]] by having Gin kill Akemi. Akemi Miyano under the alias "Masami Hirota" and two other robbers successfully steal 10 billion yen. A mask with forged lipstick mark is left behind with the empty getaway vehicle by an unknown party to implicate Hirota. Later that night, Gin and Vodka assassinate the two other bank robbers and place Hirota's lipstick at the crime scene. After realizing she was set up my someone, Conan sneaks into Hirota's apartment and attempts to stop her from meeting the assailants. Ignoring Conan's warning, Hirota heads to an empty warehouse and meets Gin who reveals her true identity to be Akemi Miyano. She asks him to release her sister in exchange for the 10 billion yen. Gin however murders her and takes the keys to a coin locker containing the money from the robbery. Akemi then reveals to Conan the existence of the Black Organization, and the location that she hid the stolen money before dying.

=== Movie Appearances ===
==== [[Countdown to Heaven]] ====
Initially, Gin is involved in the plot because he is to eliminate a traitor in the Organization. Later though, he finds out that Sherry was attending a party at the Twin Tower Buildings, the targeted location, and decides to kill two birds with one stone. He shoots at Sonoko, who got her hair permed and looks a lot like Sherry, but he realizes that it wasn't her after all after Conan gets Sonoko to dodge the bullet and she starts panicking in a very uncomposed manner. He leaves the towers in the end, looking forward to killing Sherry the next time he sees her.

==== [[The Raven Chaser]] ====
In the beginning, during Conan's dream, Gin appears and is shown to know Conan's true identity. Later, in reality, Gin is looking for a memory card that contains information crucial to the Organization. His next appearance is during the climax of the movie. He, Vodka, Chianti, and Korn arrive at the top of Tokyo Tower in a black helicopter. Gin calls Irish and tells him to hold out the computer chip, then orders Chianti to kill Irish and destroy the chip in one shot. He spots someone (Conan) trying to hide and orders Vodka to start using the machine gun that was built into the helicopter. After Conan catapults the broken light into the back of the helicopter and Vodka is trying to get it back in control, he wonders who could have done so much damage to the Organization and leaves the scene.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Black Organization ===
==== The Boss ====
The [[The Boss|boss]] trusts Gin enough to make him the third-in-command in the organization and an executive agent, and for good reason: Gin is among the most loyal of the high-ranking BO 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. He has his boss ear which make him a made-man and the third-in-command, anything he want to handling the operatings that against the interests of the organization, such as change the assasination plan from Domon to Kogoro, because his wanting to deal with Sherry and set up a lot of bombs in station containing police officers. For this reason the FBI thought Gin would be able to lead them to the boss if they captured him.

==== Vodka ====
Gin is [[Vodka]]'s superior and they frequently work together, or are seen communicating with one another by phone. Vodka shows Gin absolute respect, using honorifics<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> while speaking with Gin rather than simply using his codename like other agents do. Gin in turn values Vodka for his obedience, so Gin occasionally orders Vodka to go on missions where he needs objective observation or that are annoying.<ref>Both of these were requirements in the Halloween Showdown. Gin and the boss needed a clear idea of what Vermouth was doing so Gin sent Vodka because he could trust him. The mission also required Vodka to dress up in a monster costume, something most other agents, Vodka included, would not have liked to do.</ref> Gin views and treats Vodka as an "inexperienced little brother".<ref name=CD239a>Conan drill page 239: 出来の悪い弟分</ref> Despite this, Gin does not truly trust anyone, including Vodka, and interrogated Vodka about his actions at gunpoint before. Although Vodka is slower than Gin and frequently jumps to incorrect conclusions, Gin patiently explains his deductions to Vodka creating a sort of Sherlock Holmes and Watson dynamic between the two. Vodka covers for Gin's weakness of not remembering the names or faces of those he has killed.

==== Sherry ====
[[Image:Gin imagines Sherry naked.png|thumb|right|200px|Gin imagines Shiho Miyano naked.]]
{{Main|Gin and Sherry}}
Gin has an abnormal attachment for [[Shiho Miyano]]<ref name=CD239/> and seems to enjoy hunting for her, while she seems to fear and hate him. They appear to know each other well despite being in different parts of the Organization. Gin can identify Shiho from a single auburn hair. [[Episode 129|When Shiho escaped from the Black Organization]], Gin began searching for her, ordering Vodka to bring her back dead or alive. Gin and Shiho had [[Reunion with the Black Organization|a direct confrontation]] later in the [[Setting#Haido City Hotel|Haido City Hotel]]. Since then, Shiho has managed to avoid any more direct contact with Gin.

The theory that the two may have had a relationship in the past has been mentioned in at least one official guidebook for the manga<ref name=CD239/> and has some traction in the fandom. [[Gosho Aoyama]] has deferred questions related to the issue in past interviews, asking for fans to be patient.<ref>青山剛昌先生と話そうDAY (Let's talk with Aoyama Gosho-sensei day), held January 3, 2013 [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/?p=287218]

Q: A girl asked about the "Sherry naked" thing, that why does Gin always think about her without clothes, what exactly is their relationship?

A: Gosho answered that they indeed had a relationship, but it wouldn't be interesting if (he) revealed it there, so please wait for it. The poster also mentioned that Gosho had a trolling (or something like that) laugh/smile at the time.</ref>

==== Vermouth ====
{{Main|Gin and Vermouth}}
[[File:Ep704-14.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Gin hates Vermouth's treacherous personality.]]
Gin and [[Vermouth]] have rather different personalities. They get along well enough on missions, but Gin does not like Vermouth's habit of keeping secrets or her teasing. Before the events of the showdown on the ghost ship, Gin and Vermouth mostly trusted one another<ref name=CD239/>, but Gin's trust seems to have eroded as Vermouth failed to inform even the boss of her activities and intentions on several occasions. At one point, Gin told Vodka to kill her if he noted her doing anything suspicious, and he didn't particularly care about how she would escape a train heading towards a station packed with explosives. Gin and Vermouth are or were in a sexual relationship with one another, which was hinted in [[Episode 230]] when Vermouth asked Gin if they could make a martini tonight, noting that a martini is a mix of Vermouth and Gin.<ref name=CD239>[[:File:ConanDrill239.jpg|Conan drill page 239]]</ref>

==== Tequila ====
Although [[Tequila]] is a subordinate of Gin's, he doesn't use honorifics like Vodka does<ref>Vodka uses "aniki" meaning literally meaning "older brother", but in context means "one's senior".</ref> to refer to Gin, giving the impression Tequila and Gin appear equally ranked.<ref name=CD239/>

==== Pisco ====
Although [[Pisco]] and Gin are executive members and Pisco is Gin's senior, Gin dislikes and looks down on him.<ref name=CD239/> He does not show emotion when he kills him in the burning hotel.

==== Irish ====
It seems as though Gin did't really care about Irish, leading to his death in the Raven Chaser.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Shuichi Akai ====
{{Main|Gin and Shuichi Akai}}
Gin and [[Shuichi Akai]] are rivals and enemies.

== Character popularity ==
* eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character.

== Name origin ==
Gin comes from the [[Wikipedia: Gin|hard liquor]] which is known for its juniper berry flavor. It follows the Black Organization codename pattern of hard liquor codenames for men. The codename is probably also a pun on Gin's hair color. Gin pronounced with a hard "g" like "gun" in Japanese (ぎん ''Gin'') means "silver" (銀). This pun was used by a victim to implicate Gin as his killer in [[Countdown to Heaven]].

Gin's English name, Melkior, is the name of one of the Magi, or three kings, who visits the infant Jesus in Christian tradition. The name is Semitic and means 'king city.' Gin's English name was later switched to Gin to follow the Japanese.

== Trivia==
* Gin is left handed.<ref name=304p16>Manga Volume 30, File 9, pg 16: "Genta's Trap"</ref>
* Gin can't seem to remember faces he encounters or kills, which explains that he doesn't remember [[Shinichi]].
:* In the anime, although Gin doesn't recognize the name Shinichi Kudo when Vodka mentions it in episode 345, he knows who he is immediately in episode 1 stating: "Sure didn't want him around". Gin shows no recognition of Shinichi in the corresponding manga scene; only Vodka seems to have heard of the high school detective.
* His favorite car is his [[Vehicles in Detective Conan#Porsche 356A|Porsche 356A]], which he refers to as "German black rain frog". Notably, the car's registration is A 48-69, the same numbers that are used in APTX-4869. In episodes after the reunion with Sherry, the plate is changed to MI 43-68.
[[Image:Gin's Porsche.png|thumb|right|200px|Gin's Porsche.]]
* Gin's design has drastically been changed throughout the anime. At first, his hair is actually light brown, and the line structure is not as detailed. In addition, part of his hair comes down his face across his nose. As the series progresses Gin's hair is blond, and the line structure is strongly detailed. Moreover, there is no hair that comes down across his face anymore. Gin's hair color changes once again in Opening 24 where it is then silver to match his manga depiction.
* One glare from Gin can end an argument before it even starts. In episode 176, Gin and Vodka were jaywalking and a man from vehicle that had been forced to stop sharply was preparing to yell at them. Gin looks at him harshly, and the man fearfully shrinks back into his car. In some regions, it is believed that the people with green eyes can bestow the evil eye, intentionally or unintentionally.
* In Episode 425, Gin took Korn's rifle to locate Shuichi Akai who was on a building that is 700 yards. At that moment Akai shot at Gin and the bullet was very visible on Gin's reticule. Gin managed to move his head in time to mostly dodge the bullet.
* The name "Gin"(銀)is also known as "Silver" in Japanese, which is also the color of Gin's hair, a point that is noted in Countdown to Heaven.

The legally separated wife of [[Kogoro Mouri]], Eri is a lawyer who often gets tangled in Kogoro's cases, usually serving as an extra pair of eyes when it becomes time to investigate a crime. Although she does not like Kogoro's attitude and personality (especially his drinking and skirt-chasing habits), she still deeply loves and cares for him, often testing him to see if he still cares about her as well.

Eri and Kogoro, like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] and [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]], had been best friends since childhood, falling in love in their teens. Ten years before the ''Detective Conan'' storyline starts, however, Kogoro and Eri separated and took different paths in their lives.<ref>[[Volume 11|Volume 11, File 107, Page 15: "The Two Mysteries"]]; Ran says that it's already been 10 years since Eri left.</ref> Ran had believed that Eri had separated from Kogoro because he had shot her in the leg to get her away from a crazed serial killer, when in fact Eri had completely respected Kogoro for his decision, which she also believed was the correct one. She had actually left him when she had cooked him a gratitude dinner afterwards, which Kogoro assessed (perhaps rightfully) to be completely inedible.<ref name=target>[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: ''The Fourteenth Target'']]</ref> After this, Eri focused full time on her duties as a lawyer and has since become a highly respected (and feared) member of her profession, which in time even resulted in a movie based on her performance in court.<ref>[[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|Volume 93, File 986: "Eri's SOS"]]</ref>

In high school, Eri and her schoolmate and close friend, [[Yukiko Kudo]], were involved in a "Miss Teitan High School" pageant, and were tied in the number of votes, due to the lateness of Kogoro.<ref name=Alike>[[Alike Princesses|Episode 333-334: Alike Princesses]]</ref> He had forgotten to vote, and by the time he had come to vote, it was too late.<ref name=Alike /> It was later discovered that due to his clumsiness, he thought that the "Miss" meant "mistake" and was going to vote for Eri as a result of that misconception, much to her anger later on.<ref name=Alike/>
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:Eri's Cat, Goro.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Eri's pet cat, Goro, whom she named after Kogoro.]]
Eri is considered incredibly attractive. Various men of different ages have pined for her, but she always turns them down, mostly due to her feelings for Kogoro.<ref name=coffee/><ref name=LoveOf>[[The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki|Episode 474: The Love of Lawyer Eri Kisaki]]</ref><ref name=Suspect>[[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|Episode 199-200: Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]]</ref> She and Yukiko were considered the two most beautiful girls at Teitan High School back when they were students.<ref name=Alike/> However, even though the result ended in a tie, the two remained very close friends, often letting little [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] play together and have playdates.<ref name=childhood>[[Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudō's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> Shinichi remembers often how Eri would give him a big scolding for starting trouble.<ref name=coffee/>

Eri's personality suits her occupation as a lawyer. She is often very questioning, and gets herself involved in the investigation of cases along with Kogoro, much to his chagrin. She has a cat, a [[Wikipedia: Russian Blue|Russian Blue]] named "Goro," whom she cares for very deeply; in fact, Goro's name comes from "KoGORO" of Kogoro Mouri, since to her the cat and Kogoro both act very similar in some ways.<ref name=Goro>[[Secret of the Russian Blue|Episode 445: Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref><ref name=LoveOf/> Eri is also very close friends with her secretary, [[Midori Kuriyama]].

Eri is highly intelligent and has a sharp eye for details, and is also a skilled judoka, taught by Kogoro himself.<ref name=coffee /> She has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.<ref name=Alike /><ref name=Suspect /> Ran often goes to Eri for advice, especially on Ran's relationship with Shinichi.<ref name=Blind>[[The Blind Spot in the Darkness|Episode 170-171: The Blind Spot in the Darkness]]</ref> Eri has often half jokingly said that her best advice for Ran is to never get involved with a detective.<ref name=coffee/>

In chapter 985, its revealed Lawyers like Eri use Western-style comma (,).

== Appearance ==
Eri is a fairly tall and light-skinned woman. She has long and wavy brown hair with shorter bangs framing the sides of her face, most of which she usually keeps done up in a bun. She is rather slender yet curvaceous in built, she is shown to be very beautiful and admired by most men as she and Kudo Shinichi's mother were shown to be stunning beauties when they were in high school. She wears simple black glasses and is commonly seen wearing business suits.

=== Family and friends ===
==== Eri's father ====
[[File:Eris father.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Eri speaking to Eri's father.]]
Eri's father has only been mention once, but it's notes that he cares a lot for his daughter and is very overprotective.
{{clear}}

==== [[Kogoro Mouri]] ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
[[File:Kogoro and Eri.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro and Eri.]]
Even though Eri is separated from Kogoro, and has been for quite some time, she still cares for him, and loves him. She often mentions that she would go back to him if he would just be a little bit nicer and not act immaturely to her.<ref name=coffee>[[Coffee Shop Murder Case|Episode 32: Coffee Shop Murder Case]]</ref> Very often, she sees Kogoro treat her nicely and gets hope, but then he does something stupid that angers her again, ruining any hope she has of them being back together. She remembers many very important dates in their relationship, and it is found out that she and Kogoro share many things in their minds, including the idea of wearing the outfits both wore on their first date on its anniversary (each of them made this decision independently).<ref name=LoveOf /> Very often, their daughter, Ran, tries to get them to hook up with each other by planning out ways for them to see each other out of the blue.<ref name=scuba>[[Scuba Diving Murder Case|Episode 114-115: Scuba Diving Murder Case]]</ref> Ran also tries getting Eri to help give Kogoro clients.<ref name=miaso>[[Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!|Episode 96: Caught Up With the Great Detective! Two Murder Cases!]]</ref>

[[File:Eri Kisaki hair down.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Eri with her hair down while getting a hair cut.]]

In ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]'', Eri and Kogoro are shown having a great time eating dinner, but it ends when Kogoro looks out the window and sees the very attractive owner of the bar that he visits.<ref name=target/> This makes Eri turn angry and act how she normally acts to Kogoro. In the two-part episode, ''[[Scuba Diving Murder Case]]'', Eri accidentally loses her wedding ring on the beach, but pretends to have left it at home to see if Kogoro noticed.<ref name=scuba/> She gets visibly angry when Kogoro doesn't appear to notice it, especially when he leaves their lunch early to go back to the beach.<ref name=scuba/> Later, it is discovered that Kogoro had always known that she wasn't wearing her wedding ring, and had gone back to the beach to look for it.<ref name=scuba/> This left a visibly shocked Eri to drive home speechless, but pleased.<ref name=scuba/>

In another episode, Eri actually captures a confession from Kogoro saying that he misses her and wishes she would come back to him on a minidisc, replaying it over and over again afterwards.<ref name=Suspect/> However, even though they both miss each other, both of them still pretend not to care, and even become incredibly nasty to each other.<ref name=scuba/> Kogoro even goes on the opposing side of a case that Eri is working on, in a plan done by her professional rival [[Reiko Kujo]] to try and get under Eri's skin.<ref name=Battle>[[Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro|Episode 264-265: Courtroom Battle: Kisaki vs. Kogoro]]</ref> However, her plan fails, as Kogoro's testimony is able to help out Eri's case instead of Reiko's.<ref name=Battle/>
{{clearleft}}

==== [[Ran Mouri]] ====
Despite having a rocky relationship with Kogoro, Eri continues to have a very loving and nurturing relationship with their only daughter. Ran has been trying to get her parents back together ever since they started living separately when she was 6 years old <ref name=The Two Mysteries>Manga Volume 11: Files 107 (The Two Mysteries)</ref>. When they can find the time, Eri and Ran like to meet up so they can catch up on what's been happening in each others lives and during those moments together Ran tries to convince her mother to come back home to live with them as a family again <ref name=Coffee Shop Case>Manga Volume 11: Files 105-107 (Coffee Shop Case)</ref>.

==== [[Shinichi Kudo]]/[[Conan Edogawa]] ====
Shinichi/Conan and Eri share a somewhat equal level of intelligence when analysing crime scenes. Eri's deducing skills were more notable in [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect]], where she was able to submit a string and a piece of metal before Conan could bring it to Inspector Yamamura's attention. She considers Conan a big help in murder cases. At first, Eri seemed slightly suspicious of Conan, but later she concludes that he is simply a boy who is very smart for his age, even helping him in showing off deduction shows. Eri respects Shinichi/Conan's and his deducing skills, and vaguely accepts Shinichi and Ran's relationship. She has also told Ran to "choose her man carefully," indicating not to make the same mistake she did (most likely referring to her current unstable relationship with Kogoro jokingly).

On the other side, although Conan respects Eri, he is also afraid of her because he got scolded so many times by Eri in the past that he developed a negative reaction just from seeing her. Conan forgot her face when Eri was first introduced in the anime, since he hasn't met her for ten years.

==== [[Yukiko Kudo]] ====
Yukiko Kudo is a close friend of Eri, and (unlike Eri) finds her daughter Ran Mouri, a perfect match for her son. Yukiko and Eri competed in a "Miss Teitan High School" contest, which ended up being a tie because Kogoro did not show up in time to cast his vote.

=== Rival ===
==== [[Reiko Kujo]] ====
Reiko Kujo is a prosecutor and rival of Eri Kisaki. They compete in several anime-only episodes called variations of "Courtroom Confrontation".

{{nihongo|'''Kogoro Mouri'''|毛利小五郎|''Mōri Kogorō''}} is the tritagonist of the [[manga]] and [[anime]]. He is a private detective and [[Ran Mouri]]'s father.

== Background ==
[[File:Young Kogoro and Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Young Kogoro in school]]
Kogoro is a private investigator,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> but he prefers to laze around his office all day unless his client is a beautiful woman. Kogoro attended Teitan High School, the same high school as his daughter [[Ran Mouri]] and [[Shinichi Kudo]], along with [[Eri Kisaki]] (his future wife), [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko Fujimine]], and the actress Ruri Ujo.<ref>[[Volume 37]]</ref> He then graduated from Beika University, where he was the ace of the judo team, though he was highly vulnerable to stage fright.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 086 - The Two Benkei Standing Deaths|Volume 9, File 86: "The Two Benkei Standing Deaths"]]</ref>

Some time after graduating, Kogoro became a police officer, working in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Division One with [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]], but while an excellent marksman he was not a particularly good investigator. According to [[Ninzaburo Shiratori]] in [[Movie 2]], however, the duo were famous for the way they apprehended criminals. He also worked for some time under [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division. While Movie 2 strongly suggests that Kogoro left the police force because of the incident where he gave his wife, [[Eri Kisaki]], a bullet graze on the leg to save her from a hostage situation, his reasons for leaving the force have not been confirmed in the manga. <ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> Around the time Kogoro left the police force, Eri also moved out, though they have never officially divorced despite ten years having passed.<ref name="m2" /> Their daughter, [[Ran Mouri|Ran]], keeps trying to get them back together, but she has yet to succeed. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still has feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet,<ref>[[Volume 17]]</ref> though she still has feelings for him as well. These are expressed mainly through jealousy when Kogoro's attention is caught by other attractive women in the vicinity, which occurs on a regular basis.

After [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was forced to adopt the identity of [[Conan Edogawa]], [[Hiroshi Agasa]] concluded that Shinichi couldn't openly continue investigating the [[Black Organization]] without attracting undue attention. To maintain his cover, Agasa suggested Shinichi to move in with Kogoro and use him as a front. During a case Kogoro took soon after, he reached the wrong conclusion, and Conan knocked him out with an ashtray before he could accuse an innocent person. Kogoro conveniently falls unconscious in a reclining pose, and Conan uses his [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|Voice Changer]] to imitate Kogoro's voice, presenting his conclusions and the identity of the true murderer.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9: An Unfortunate Misunderstanding]]</ref> After a few more cases occur in this fashion (though Conan uses his [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] instead of an ashtray), Kogoro receives the title "Sleeping Kogoro" and a public reputation as a master detective.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref>. In the few instances where Kogoro remains awake for some reason, Conan still does the main detective work and uses Kogoro as his official mouth-piece by drawing Kogoro's attentions to important clues he has uncovered.

In the Japanese version, due to his name Kogoro Mouri, he is often mistaken for the famous astronaut [[Wikipedia: Mamoru Mohri|Mamoru Mohri]] when he introduces himself, because they both are in the news frequently, of Japanese decent, and have the same last name. In the English version, when Kogoro introduces himself he is often mistaken for a famous astronaut as well, possibly [[Wikipedia: Patrick Moore|Patrick Moore]].

In the US version, Kogoro Mouri says that he is forty-three, as opposed to being thirty-eight in the Japanese version. It is unknown if Eri's age remains the same, since they attended school together. If not, if it will affect the ''Princess Pageant'' storyline that occurred twenty years ago, making her in her twenties when she participated instead of a teenager.

Kogoro has several medical issues common amongst middle aged men: high uric acid and high cholesterol.<ref>File 975</ref>

[[File:701 5.png|thumb|200px|Kogoro as "Poirot" Mouri|link=The Jet-Black Mystery Train]]
Kogoro has an overinflated sense of his own importance and detective prowess to the point where he doesn't investigate why he is suddenly and consistently passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep with different deductions than he was making while awake. Kogoro is also frequently unprofessional in his work, frequently making sarcastic and blunt comments about suspects or even his own clients. On cases, Kogoro is typically lax with his deductions and investigation, following only the most obvious clues or assumptions to reach his conclusions, which are often silly or fall directly into a culprit's trap. The police, especially Megure, often find him to be an embarrassment while awake and hope to see "Sleeping Kogoro" as soon as possible. Kogoro does have a serious side which only emerges when the case has personal importance to him, such as when Eri and Ran are involved. When this happens, Kogoro's entire personality and demeanor changes and he begins acting professionally, demonstrating improved deductive skills and cunning. While he is not up to the standards of Shinichi and he still can have problems with finding clues, his logical reasoning becomes better, and Kogoro often demonstrates he has a better sense of interpersonal relationships than Shinichi does. <ref>[[Volume 37#File 376 - Kogoro's Choice 3|Volume 37, File 376: Kogoro's Choice 3]]</ref>

Kogoro easily becomes infatuated with beautiful women. His favorite celebrity is pop idol [[Yoko Okino]], and he never misses (or tries not to miss) her television shows.<ref>[[Volume 3#File 025 - The Dream That Will Not Come True|Volume 3, File 25: "The Dream That Will Not Come True"]]</ref><ref>Such behaviors can be seen consistently from [[Volume 1#File 006 - From Third-Rate to Great Detective|Volume 1, File 6: From Third-Rate to Great Detective]] to [[Volume 52#File 541 - Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Volume 52, File 541: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]].</ref> He also keeps a large collection of Yoko related goods and his office and bedroom have Yoko posters. Because of his flirtatious behavior around attractive women, he often embarrasses Ran, and while it is not stated as the reason why Eri left him, it is one of the primary reasons why she hasn't come back.

While never outright called an alcoholic, Kogoro has a tendency to get intoxicated and [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi/Conan]] often makes sarcastic remarks about him spending money on alcohol. In the anime, particularly in early episodes, his office is littered with empty beer cans,<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> and he keeps a well-stocked liquor shelf. Kogoro is also a heavy smoker, and is usually seen with a cigarette in his mouth. Other hobbies include watching his favorite idol star, [[Yoko Okino]], betting on horse races, playing mahjong (which he tends to lose) and playing or watching baseball (he even plays in his neighborhood's team).

However he does, once in a while, show interest in things, he claims not to like, like asking what happened to three cats, that the Detective Boys found while searching for a missing girl, and pointing out that it was cruel for a victim to point at Genta and call him a criminal, despite that Genta didn't do anything.

In the movies, Kogoro suffers from a mild acrophobia (fear of heights) and is quite uncomfortable in high settings where he has the chance to see how high up he is.

== Appearance ==
Kogoro is a fairly tall and fit man (especially for the amount of beer he drinks), and is reasonably good-looking. He has high cheekbones, a short mustache, and short black hair. His hair is constantly slicked back with two loose locks hanging across his forehead. Ten years ago, when Kogoro was still on the police force, he was clean shaven.<ref>Manga Volume 55, File 7, page 6: "Dawn"</ref> While on cases Kogoro usually wears a muted blue or grey suit and necktie, and just a collared shirt when being more casual. If he has been drinking heavily, he often ties his necktie around his forehead like a bandana. He seems to be reasonably fit, as he is capable of doing an [[#Judo|Ippon seoi-nage]]. Kogoro is right handed.<ref>Manga Volume 51, File 8, page 3: "Goroo is Goro?!" Kogoro writing with his right hand</ref> Kogoro also smokes, although over the course of Detective Conan's run he has gradually been depicted smoking less often.

== Abilities ==
=== Detective skills ===
:''See also: [[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]'' 
Throughout most of the series, Kogoro is depicted as a fairly incompetent (or just plain lazy) detective, often missing clues and jumping to the wrong conclusions, though several of these conclusions are shared by other people on the scene. However, Kogoro does follow the proper police procedures, asks questions, and (with a little help from Conan) follows leads quite well. Despite his ineptness, he had been a police officer under [[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] and in also the arson department ten years prior to the start of the series<ref name="m2" /> He is shown to have left the police force after events addressed in the second movie, ''[[The Fourteenth Target]]''.<ref name="m2" />[[File:Kogoro is stunned.PNG|thumb|right|Kogoro's characteristic strange expression when Conan uses the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]]]]

Thanks to Conan's undercover help in solving numerous cases, Kogoro's reputation as a detective grows quickly.<ref>[[Volume 4#File 032 - The Pen That Cannot Write|Volume 1, File 4: The Pen That Cannot Write]]</ref> He hardly remembers the solutions of any cases because Conan knocks him out with tranquilizer darts before solving the case. However, Kogoro never seems to wonder about this fact and often boasts about his merits. Because of this, he has become nicknamed the '''{{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorou}}'''. [[Jugo Yokomizo]] often mistakenly calls him '''{{nihongo|Smoking Kogoro|煙の小五郎|Kemuri no Kogorou}}''' because of his heavy smoking habits. Because of his (or rather, Conan's) tendency to coincidentally come across a crime scene, Inspector Megure has referred to Kogoro as a '''shinigami''' (death god).

In several stories, Kogoro demonstrates the ability to solve crimes without (or with little) help from Conan, especially when people he knows or cares about are involved; it appears that, while he can connect the dots just fine, he can't actually find them as quickly as Conan does. The first of these events takes place during a trip to a hot spring, where one of his old college friends is murdered. Kogoro is actually so disturbed and determined to find the killer on his own that Conan cannot bring himself to drug him, limiting himself to surreptitiously drawing attention to the necessary clues.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 084 - Kogoro's Class Reunion|Volume 9, Files 84-86: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> Despite his frequent moronic analyses, Kogoro is actually pretty smart when he applies himself. He is even able to completely solve a crime on his own in the ninth movie, ''[[Strategy Above the Depths]]'', due to the fact that the culprit Minako resembles Eri, and Conan applauds him mentally for his success. (For a more detailed list of the cases he has—more or less—solved on his own, see '''''[[List of cases solved by Kogoro Mouri]]''''').

=== Judo ===
Kogoro is an expert in judo. He was on the judo team while he was at Beika University. Although he was the strongest on the team and can still toss large men with ease, he lost all the time at tournaments because he got excited and his strength was used against him. His trademark maneuver is the [http://www.judoinfo.com/images/animations/blue/ipponseoi.htm Ippon seoi-nage] (one-arm shoulder throw), which he often uses to incapacitate escaping suspects. He appears to also be a capable teacher in the art, having taught both Eri and Ran.

=== Shooting ===
In volume 11, chapter 2, and in its anime adaptation (episode 31), Kogoro says that even though he is a former policeman he is not very skilled at using guns, while in the non-[[canon]] [[Movie 2]], Kogoro was an excellent shot with a handgun, being able to hit targets at great distance with an impressive level of accuracy. However, Aoyama stated in the Super Digest Book 40+ that Kogoro's excellent shooting skills shown in movie 2 were now officially canon.
{{clearleft}}

== Appellations ==
Kogoro earned the nickname {{nihongo|Sleeping Kogoro|眠りの小五郎|Nemuri no Kogorō}} because of his trademark technique of solving cases while looking like he is asleep. Many characters unfamiliar with him call him by this nickname when they realize who he is.

== Plot overview ==
=== Company President's Daughter Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|2-5]], Anime: [[Episode 2|2]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro takes the credit.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro happily takes the credits for "solving" the case.]]
This is Kogoro Mouri’s first depicted case in the series,<ref>Even though this is the first case of Kogoro in [[Detective Conan]], it is not his first case ever, since he has been a private detective since before the current timeline started.</ref> after [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|the event]] where [[Shinichi]] was turned into a child by the [[Black Organization]]. He is requested by phone to find Akiko Tani, who is suspected to have been kidnapped by “a large man dressed in black”. Kogoro then immediately calls a taxi to go to the Tani mansion in Yayoi, without knowing that [[Ran|his daughter]] and [[Conan|a strange kid]] has already jumped in with him. He expresses his excitement about the case, calling himself “Great Detective”, but only to be sarcastically addressed as “Confused Detective” by the two instead.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 2, Page 28]]; the two characters 名 (renowned) and 迷 (confused) have the same pronunciation (mei) and can be used as a pun.</ref> Kogoro becomes furious and questions Ran about the identity of the strange kid, then intends to get rid of them from the car. He is unable to do so however, as they are on a highway.

When the three arrive at the Tani household, Kogoro questions some of the household members about the details of the kidnapping. However, Conan’s continuous interference gets on his nerves, even to the point that he wants to “kill” the boy after solving the case.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 3, Page 10]]. However, it was most likely just an exaggerated type of expression rather than his true desire of killing Conan.</ref> Later, with help from Conan’s hints, Kogoro is able to come to the conclusion that the house butler is behind the kidnapping. However, Akiko Tani has already been abducted in truth by someone else. After the case is over, it is revealed that the first kidnapping was just a set-up by the girl with the help from the butler, while the second one was by mere chance. Kogoro then laughs in satisfaction and takes all the credits for himself while Conan is actually the one to release the dog and locate Akiko. At the end, Kogoro finally accepts Conan and adopts him, feeling that with the boy around, “he will solve the cases smoothly as silk”.<ref>[[Volume 1| Volume 1, File 5, Page 16]]</ref> With this statement, Kogoro is, ironically, correct.

=== Bloody Idol Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|6-9]], Anime: [[Episode 3|3]]) ===
[[File:KogoroRose.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro holding a rose, trying to act "charming" in front of Yoko.]]
This case marks the very first appearance of '''“Sleeping Kogoro”'''. [[Conan]] wakes up in the morning and finds a slothful Kogoro drinking beer and watching television shows, including the musical performance of his idol star, [[Yoko Okino]]. [[Agasa]] advises Conan to build Kogoro into a great detective, in order to find cases related to the [[Black Organization]], but Conan doubts if that is even possible given Kogoro's laziness.

Busying enjoying one of [[Yoko Okino]]’s shows, Kogoro tells a new client to come back the next day. However, after discovering that his client is none other than Yoko herself, he rushes to his room and cleans up into an impeccable suit. Yoko explains she is being stalked, and agreed to investigate her apartment secretly (after asking for her personal information and an autograph). However, to everyone's shock, when they arrive at the apartment there is a dead body inside. Kogoro orders them to call the Police and is furious when Yoko’s manager, Eiichi Yamagishi, tries to dissuade him in order to protect Yoko from the media. When Inspector [[Megure]] arrives, he gets depressed about his old subordinate’s appearance, thinking of him as the one who always makes situation turns into a “nightmare”.<ref>[[Volume 1|Volume 1, File 7, Page 5]]</ref>

Conan's investigations once again annoy Kogoro while Kogoro tries to defend Yoko despite the apparent evidence that she committed the murder. He repeatedly accuses Eiichi of being the murderer, as he has a copied key, though there's no proof of either person's guilt or innocence. He switches suspicions to fellow idol Yuko Ikezawa after Yuko's earring is discovered in the apartment. When Yuko is trapped into admitting she was the the "stalker" but still denies being the murderer, he switches back to accusing Eiichi. Realizing Kogoro’s mistake, Conan kicks an ash-tray at his head, knocking him unconscious. He uses the [[Voice-Changing Bowtie]] that [[Agasa]] has given to him earlier to imitate Kogoro’s voice, and points out that the case is in fact a suicide. Kogoro wakes up after the case is solved when the cigarette in his hand starts to burn his fingers. From then on, Conan has used Kogoro as a puppet mouthpiece for solving cases, with the secondary purpose of turning the man into a famous detective.

=== Mysterious Shadow Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|10-12]], Anime: [[Episode 38|38]])===
[[File:Kogoro suspects Conan.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro is suspicious about Conan's identity.]]
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]]'s identity for the first time in this case. When talking to the boy, Kogoro suddenly feels like he has seen Conan from somewhere before. He thinks that it might have been around the time when Ran was still in elementary school.<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 010]]</ref> Later, when Kogoro is investigating the death of a man whom he has been hired to observe for three days, Conan provides a hint by pointing out that every picture of the suspect taken during the supposed time of the murder has clocks in them, which helps Kogoro figure out that they must have intentionally been taken that way in order to make people clearly see the "alibi". Kogoro immediately finds it strange that whenever it seems like he has been stuck, Conan always gives him some kind of clue, just like in the previous cases. He, for the first time, notices that Conan is not an ordinary child and begins to wonder who the boy is. However, after Conan purposefully messes up with other photos, Kogoro completely loses his suspicions, thinking: "A brat is a brat after all..."<ref>[[Volume 2|Volume 2, File 12]]</ref>

=== Masami Hirota Case (Manga: [[Volume 2|13-16]], Anime: [[Episode 128|128]])===
This is Kogoro's first direct encounter with a member from the [[Black Organization]], though he is unaware of it at the time.

=== Museum Owner Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 4|30-32]], Anime: [[Episode 8|8]]) ===
This case marks Kogoro Mouri's first fame as a private detective.

[[File:Volume 4 File 032.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro's first fame.]]
[[Ran]] forces Kogoro and Conan to go to a medieval-themed art museum exhibit, because she heard a rumor about a knight armor that moves by itself at night. The three of them browse the museum, though Kogoro and Conan lack enthusiasm. However, when they walk into a gallery called the "Room of Hell", Ran discovers the corpse of the museum's new owner, Manaka, been brutally slashed and impaled on a sword. After the police arrive, Kogoro watches the security camera recording of the murder with them, showing that the culprit had been waiting for Manaka inside the exhibition room inside a knight's suit of armor. The armor both hid the murderer's identity and mirrored a painting in the gallery called "Divine Punishment" that depicts a knight having gruesomely killed a monster. Kogoro recalls the fact that the entrance to the "Room of Hell" was blocked during the time of the murder, indicating that the culprit must have been among the museum staff, as they know the museum and could access the equipment. With Conan's help, the police discover a dying message inside Manaka's hand. The crumpled note has the name "Kubota" written on it.

With this piece of evidence and some further discoveries, Kogoro and the police accuse Kubota of being the culprit. However, Conan is suspicious of the simplicity and of Manaka's behavior on the video while writing the note. Conan realizes that Kubota was framed by someone with a great love of art who could order Kubota into doing a job alone: the museum curator, Ochiai. Ochiai prepared the note beforehand and gave Manaka a pen without ink. Conan tricks Ochiai into revealing that he switched the pen found with Manaka with the one in his pocket, and Ochiai confesses to the crime. At the end of the case, Kogoro is shown reading a newspaper article that features him. He is proud of himself for "solving" the murder case, and is happy that he has become an "instant celebrity".

=== Kogoro's Class Reunion (Manga: [[Volume 9|84-86]], Anime: [[Kogoro's Class Reunion Murder Case|27-28]]) ===
[[File:Angry Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro is furious because the murderer is one of his friends.]]
Kogoro brings [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] together to Togichi, to the reunion vacation with his old classmates from Beika University's Judo Club. These friends of his are [[Jun Omura]], model shop manager; Yukio Ayashiro, high school P.E. teacher; Yumi Horikoshi, businessman; Noriko Ayashiro, Yukio's wife and homemaker; and Kazushi Nakamichi, a police officer from Chiba Prefecture. During their conversation, they reveal that Kogoro used to skip practices and often lost in tournaments, while he has told Ran that he was "invincible".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 3]]</ref> Later, Kazushi suggests everyone play ping-pong before they go watch the fireworks at 6:30 PM. All of them agree to participate in the activity, except for Yumi Horikoshi, Kazushi's ex-girlfriend from their university days. While Kogoro plays against Yukio, Ran compliments Kazushi as being the strongest on their Judo team. However, Kazushi disclaims that title by specifying that there is a person even more powerful than himself whom he can never beat. He also states that the person he is talking about is present with them at that moment.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 84, Page 11]]</ref>

[[File:Kogoro KOs Kazushi.png|left|thumb|200px|Kogoro knocks out Kazushi with Judo.]]
Much later in the evening, when everyone gets back to the inn from the fireworks location (even though most of them got lost, they find out that Yumi is still sleeping, and decide to wake her up. Much to their surprise, the moment they walk into Yumi's room, she has already been shot. Kogoro, together with Kazushi, take the role in investigating her death before the police arrive. Using professional techniques, they conclude that Yumi has been dead since 7 hours ago, when they all went to the ping-pong room. Just as usual, Kogoro becomes furious at Conan's interference, despite the boy's hints, and claims that she has committed suicide. However, right after Conan intentionally asks him how Yumi was shot, he rushes to her body and finds out that there are no burn mark around the wound, which wouldn't make sense if it was a suicide. Kogoro then comes to the conclusion that his friend was actually murdered.

Suspecting that Jun Omura is hiding something, Kogoro interrogates him and learns that he saw Yumi after 5 PM, when she was supposed to have died. Even though on the outside, Kogoro keeps saying that the killer was some intruder, deep inside he knows for sure that the culprit must have been among his best friends, since outsiders wouldn't bother faking the crime scene. When being questioned by Conan, Kogoro angrily punches at a house-stake, yelling that he will not forgive the culprit, and determines to "expose them with no question, no matter what".<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 85]]. In the anime version, he punched the wall.</ref>

[[File:Cheerful Kogoro.png|right|thumb|200px|Kogoro has got his "spirit" back.]]
Seeing Kogoro's determination, despite having found out the truth behind the murder, Conan decides not to use the [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch]] this time, and chooses to give Kogoro clues so he can solve the case by himself. With Conan's helps, Kogoro is able to figure out that the culprit is Kazushi Nakamichi. Yumi was actually killed after playing ping-pong with Kazushi after 6 PM, that way, her muscle would harden much faster than usual. Another evidence was when Kazushi knew for sure that she had been dead the moment they discovered her corpse. When Kazushi confesses and says that she was a demon who was destroying his life, Kogoro sarcastically asks him who the real demon is. Kazushi angrily grabs his yukata, only to be thrown by Kogoro, who thinks that he doesn't want to understand the feeling of a killer.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 16]]</ref> It is then revealed that Kogoro is the "strongest person" whom Kazushi was talking about earlier. He compliments Kogoro, saying he is still as strong as ever. However, Kogoro answers that Kazushi is actually the one who got weaker in both strength and mind.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 17]]</ref>

The case ends with Kogoro staring sadly out of the window because of his friends' story, but his "spirit" immediately revives after seeing a girl's pink underwear.<ref>[[Volume 9|Volume 9, File 86, Page 18]]</ref>


=== TV Station Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 11|102-104]], Anime: [[Episode 31|31]]) ===
Kogoro Mouri becomes suspicious about [[Conan]] for the second time in this case.

Kogoro is invited to attend a live television show as a guest star. However, a murder occurs at the studio. After finding out all the evidence, Conan lures Kogoro to a separate room with the lie that [[Yoko Okino]] is in there. Just as usual, he decides to tranquilize Kogoro and use the man to solve the case. When Kogoro wakes up, he begins to question Conan about Yoko's whereabouts. He is also suspicious about the fact that whenever Conan tries to pull him outside, he always falls asleep right after. Kogoro angrily grabs the boy's suit jacket and wants to "clear things up". Luckily for Conan, Yoko Okino appears for real and Kogoro completely loses his suspicions.

=== Game Convention Case (Manga: [[Volume 12|114-116]], Anime: [[Episode 54|54]])===
Kogoro's fame has reached the point that a video game was developed with him as the main character. Though Conan encounters someone from the [[Black Organization]], Kogoro is only involved with investigating the man's death.



=== Scuba Diving Case (Manga: [[Volume 17|163-165]], Anime: [[Scuba Diving Murder Case|114-115]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro Eri beach.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro encounters Eri at Izu.]]
Kogoro, [[Ran]] and [[Conan]] vacation at a beach in Izu. When Ran asks her father to look at her new swimsuit, he tells her to keep quiet because it will be harder for him to flirt with women once they know that he's together with her. Suddenly, Kogoro notices a beautiful woman in a swimsuit standing right next to them and excitedly asks if she needs any sun cream. To his surprise, when the woman turns around, he finds out that it is none other than [[Eri Kisaki|his wife]]. Kogoro and Eri soon realize that the coincidental encounter was actually set up by Ran in an attempt to get them back together. They react poorly to being manipulated and mock each other until Kogoro leaves to use the toilet. Ran starts to worry after Kogoro is gone for some time, but Eri predicts that Kogoro stopped to flirt with other women. When Kogoro comes back, he is indeed shown with two young girls, Kiwako Toda and Harumi Matsuzaki. The situation worsens when Eri notices traces of sand on Kogoro's legs, and assumes he must have been kneeling while applying sun scream to those girls at the beach, then brought them back to show off to her. However, Conan suspects that Kogoro actually went searching for Eri's lost wedding ring until Kogoro’s goofiness makes Conan dismiss the idea.

[[File:Kogoro Eri giving cards.jpg|thumb|200px|The relationship between the two is still very tense despite Ran's efforts.]]
Later, with the invitation from the university students, the Mouri family have lunch together at a seaside restaurant. When Ran once again attempts to alleviate the tense relationship between Kogoro and Eri by commenting that Kiwako Toda and her boyfriend Masahiko Matsuzaki are childhood friends like they were, Kogoro sarcastically tells them that many couples have suffered in marriage for loving a friend they’ve known since childhood. He and Eri even give the young couple their business cards and recommend the two to seek them in case “he suspects that his wife is cheating” or because “they plan to divorce and she wants to get a lot of alimony from her husband”.

[[File:Kogoro returns ring.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Kogoro returns the ring back to Eri.]]
After Kiwako Toda goes diving with Ran and gets bitten by a sea snake, Ran is asked to identify it. Kogoro compliments his daughter for having good sense of observation, but Eri takes advantage of the topic and comments that she is completely different from “a certain someone who still hasn’t even noticed that his wife’s finger is empty”. However, Kogoro acts as if he doesn’t understand Eri’s hint. Later, as Kogoro is about to drive Kiwako’s friends to the hospital, Eri decides to drop Ran and Conan off there and then goes home right away. However, Kogoro informs her with a serious expression that he has something to tell her after the case is resolved. At the hospital, when Eri is about to leave after seeing Kogoro to some girls, Conan asks a nurse to call Eri and Harumi Matsuzaki and tells them to go to an office to see Kogoro. He then immediately lures Kogoro into becoming "Sleeping Kogoro" and reveals that the culprit is none other than Harumi. Conan also adds that Eri didn't purposely remove the wedding ring in order to attract Kogoro’s attention. After the case is solved, it is revealed that Kogoro did indeed go search for the wedding ring, which explains the sand traces on his legs, as he knelt on the sand to do so. Kogoro takes the ring out of his pocket and throws it to Eri. He says that he figured it out because Eri was drying her hair with her glasses on; normally no one would do that unless they’re trying to find something on the ground. He also assumes that Eri intentionally dropped her ring and tried to make him see that by using her left hand to hold the cup and continuously waving it around. Just as their relationship looks to be improved by this act, Kogoro completely ruins the moment by showing off with the female nurses, which enrages Eri and she leaves right after.

=== Murderer Kogoro Mouri Case (Manga: [[Volume 27|264-266]], Anime: [[Kogoro Mouri, Suspect|199-200]]) ===
[[File:Kogoro at the bar.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro is drunken at the bar.]]
Kogoro encounters his wife Eri once again at a vacation spot, where he eventually becomes the prime suspect in the murder of her colleague and rival, Ritsuko Usui.

The events take place when Kogoro, along with Ran and Conan, unexpectedly finds Eri shopping with a fellow lawyer, Norifumi Saku. He suspects that his wife is going out with Saku, not knowing that she's actually trying to pick a present for himself as the next day will be their wedding anniversary. They agree to have a drink together with Eri's other acquainted lawyers, but the detective's old bad habits while drunk once again enrages her.

[[File:Kogoro talking to Eri.jpg|thumb|left|200px|A healed relationship?]]
Later, Kogoro accompanies the lawyers back to the hotel, where he, while unconscious, is instead brought to Usui's room as one of her tactics to ruin Eri's career by having "the queen" suspect that her husband has been cheating on her. An unexpected turn of events occurs when Usui is strangled by an unknown culprit with Kogoro being the only one found sleeping inside the locked crime scene. He is then suspected to have committed the murder.

Much to everyone's surprise, Eri refuses to defend her husband in court, while openly declaring her accusation of Kogoro. However, her real intention is to remain at the crime scene in order to find a way to prove his innocence, but Kogoro misunderstands this and angrily walks away after replying with some sarcastic comments.

Eri, with Conan's help, eventually manages to unmask the true murderer and clear Kogoro's name. The next day morning, after learning of his wife's deeds, Kogoro walks to where Eri is sitting and apologizes to her. He also sincerely asks her to come back with him, only to find out that she's just listening to Ran's MD without actually hearing anything that he said. Kogoro gets angry at Eri again as she leaves, not knowing that she has recorded all of his nice words into the disk.

The dinner doesn't go as well as planned. Kogoro behaves in his usual casual manner, acting indifferent to Eri's presence and seemingly having no intention of giving Eri the necklace.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
=== Shooting ===
In the Wild Police Story spinoff, chapter 2, Hachizo Onizuka says to [[Rei Furuya]] that there is a genius senior who got full points in his first shooting test and hit the bulls-eye with all 20 bullets, states that he quits the force and was running a detective agency in Beika after, with Kogoro appears briefly.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki}}
Eri Kisaki is Kogoro's wife, who has been living separately from him for the last ten years. A primary reason that they have not yet gotten back together is because of Mouri's constant flirting with other women. It is shown that Eri still cares for him, even naming her cat 'Goro', which is taken from Kogoro. She is also annoyed by his frequent alcoholic indulgences. Despite constantly feigning disinterest in her, Kogoro still appears to have feelings for Eri. He even asked her to move back in with him at one point, but at the time she pretended not to hear him because she was not "ready" yet, though she still has feelings for him as well.

==== Ran Mouri ====
Kogoro has raised his daughter Ran ever since he and Eri separated. She often has to look after her father because of his drinking and gambling habits. She is very determined to get her parents back together and tries every chance she gets to make them reconcile, though her attempts usually end in failure. Kogoro is very protective of Ran and deeply cares for her. There are many times when Kogoro shows concern for his daughter's safety, often getting serious when Ran is in trouble. He is also concerned about Ran's relationship with Shinichi, who he thinks always tries to seduce Ran (movie 'Captured In Her Eyes'), and can get terribly agitated whenever his daughter's honour is threatened. This is evident from Kogoro's angry outburst at Ran's sleepy mumblings about the somewhat offensive words Shinichi had said to her aboard the flight to New York, in the episode 'The Locked Room In The Sky: Shinichi's First Case'.

==== Conan Edogawa ====
Kogoro took in Conan after he had 'solved' the case in episode 2, saying that Conan was his 'luck' and allowing Conan to live with them, but he mostly leaves it to Ran to take care of the boy. However, on multiple occasions, he has treated Conan nonchalantly, terming him a 'freeloader'. He has been suspicious of Conan's behavior at times, but quickly drops his suspicions as ridiculous. Ever since Yukiko (disguised as Conan's nonexistent mother) gave Kogoro a large sum of money for Conan's expenses, he has been more than happy to take care of Conan. While Kogoro often shows a level of disregard towards his ward and has a habit of hitting Conan for disturbing him during investigations, there are rare moments where it is apparent he has become quite protective of Conan as well, and considers him a normal part of the family.

==== Yoko Okino ====
Yoko is Kogoro's idol. He always watches her television appearances and admires her. Yoko sometimes invites Kogoro to host a show or appear on commercials, which helps to spread his fame as a detective.

==== Shinichi Kudo ====
They are both detectives, but due to Shinichi being the better detective, Kogoro is constantly complaining about how he never gets any work because of the 'detective brat' taking all of the cases. He is also against his daughter being with Shinichi so much, likely due to his own rocky marriage with his childhood friend.

==== Rei Furuya ====
[[File:名侦探柯南-第679集000347.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Rei wants to go on a case with Kogoro.]][[Rei Furuya]] (under the alias Tooru Amuro) became Kogoro's apprentice in the [[Wedding Eve]] case in exchange for a large fee every time Kogoro brought him on a case. Rei tends to act ingratiating whenever Kogoro Mouri is around, and is especially fawning over his "Mouri-sensei". Kogoro is alternatively flattered by Rei's praise and annoyed with his effusive personality. Overall Kogoro tends to treat Rei flippantly despite being paid a handsome sum for the apprenticeship. When among members of the [[Black Organization]], Rei doesn't speak too badly of Kogoro despite Kogoro's obvious incompetence. Rei is becoming more skilled at herding Kogoro through cases without having the older man realize that Rei is a far superior detective and is manipulating him for information.
{{clear}}

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Juzo Megure ====
Kogoro used to work with [[Juzo Megure]] when he was still part of the police force. Megure thought that Kogoro was incompetent as a police detective. Their relationship has dramatically improved since Conan began using Kogoro as a mouthpiece for his deductions. Juzo hates that the police have to rely on an outside detective to solve cases, yet he is also very grateful that Kogoro wraps up difficult cases that the police could have mishandled.

Kogoro is familiar with but usually respectful of Megure at all times. Megure, who has a bit of a love hate relationship with Mouri, tends to be exasperated around Kogoro, especially when Kogoro appears in middle of a case or while Kogoro is awake and making his usual bad deductions. Megure likes the "Sleeping Kogoro" persona much more. Megure has noted that Kogoro shows up unnaturally frequently at the scenes of murders, leading to him jokingly calling Kogoro a harbinger of bad luck or a "death god".

==== Inspector Yuminaga ====
Kogoro Mouri briefly was the subordinate of [[Inspector Yuminaga]] in the arson division. Kogoro's nickname for Yuminaga was "fiery old fossil". Yuminaga noted that Kogoro would always jump to the conclusion that every fire was an arson.

== Trivia ==
[[File:Lupin 2-05 Kogoro.png|thumb|right|200px|Kogoro's flashy gold business cards]]
* In the movie continuity, Kogoro's practice of using ostentatious gold business cards carries over from [[Private Eye in the Distant Sea]] to [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]].
* Although Kogoro suffers from acrophobia, he sometimes seems to forget about his fear. For instance he leans over the railing of a balcony on the 21st floor in episode 69 (Night Baron Murder Case). Furthermore he feels perfectly comfortable on board of a plane in episode 162 (The locked Room in the Sky, Shinichi Kudo's First Case). In episode 596 (the Alibi of the Fall), he looks out of a window from the 6th floor, but then "remembers" his fear and recoils. The discontinuity is probably because Kogoro's fear was invented for [[Movie 2]] and did not originate in the manga where Kogoro is relatively fine around cliffs and tall buildings.
* Physician confirms that Kogoro would not survive Conan's stun-gun.<ref>[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2019-03-04/physician-confirms-that-detective-conan-kogoro-would-not-survive-conan-stun-gun/.143964 Anime New Network]</ref>

'''{{nihongo|Sonoko Suzuki|鈴木園子|Suzuki Sonoko}}''', known in the Funimation English dub as '''Serena Sebastian''', is a character from the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''. Sonoko is [[Ran Mouri]]'s best friend and is the girlfriend of [[Makoto Kyogoku]], with whom she currently is in a long-distance relationship. [[Conan Edogawa]] sometimes has to knock her out with his stun gun watch to use her as his mouthpiece. Because of this, Sonoko has claimed to be a great high school detective in her own right, "Deduction Queen Sonoko".

== Background ==
Sonoko Suzuki is the second daughter of Shiro Suzuki, head of the extremely wealthy family and large company, second only to [[Renya Karasuma]]<ref>Detective Conan SDB Black Plus (2018)</ref>, and his wife Tomoko. She has an older sister, [[Ayako Suzuki|Ayako]], and an uncle, [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi]], who is often involved in trying to capture [[Kaitou Kid]]. She and Ran have been close friends since kindergarten.

== Personality ==
[[File:Vlcsnap-2013-11-04-20h34m41s202.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko is rather expressive.]]
Sonoko's primary character traits are her impulsiveness, her temper and sense for romanticism. She often acts without thinking ahead, thereby usually dragging [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] (and by extension, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]]) into her schemes<ref name=e457-458>[[Sonoko's Red Handkerchief|Episode 457-458: Sonoko's Red Handkerchief]]</ref> or firing her mouth away with wild tales.<ref name=m94>[[Volume 94#Crimson School Trip Case|Manga Volume 94, File 1000: ''Crimson School Trip Case'']]</ref> Often she acts very insensitively to other's feelings; while she encourages Ran to take her relationship with [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] to a higher level, she just as much enjoys teasing her best friend and beholding her embarrassment.<ref name=m22>[[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|Manga Volume 22, File 219: ''Sonoko's Camera Case'']]</ref><ref name=m25>[[Volume 25#Skating Rink Case|Manga Volume 25, File 243: ''Skating Rink Case'']]</ref><ref name=m72>[[Volume 72#Horror Show|Manga Volume 72, File 756: ''Horror Show Case'']]</ref><ref name=m94/>

At the series' start, Sonoko's primary interest was in boys and in trying to snag the "perfect boy". She often tried multiple avenues to attract a boyfriend, including dressing up specifically to attract a boy, making a boy chocolates,<ref name=e6>[[Valentine Murder Case|Episode 6: Valentine Murder Case]]</ref> trying to impress a boy while wearing a bikini,<ref name=e72>[[The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case|Episode 72: The Triplet's Country Home Murder Case]]</ref> or going to various events that young guys were going to attend.<ref name=e84-85>[[Ski Lodge Murder Case|Episode 84-85: Ski Lodge Murder Case]]</ref> Whenever Ran's company diverts the attention of Sonoko's target, Sonoko feels jealous and disappointed (although this has never affected their friendship).<ref name=e34-35>[[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|Episode 34-35: Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case]]</ref> However, this changed when Sonoko met and began dating [[Makoto Kyogoku|Makoto]]. Although Sonoko is still easily attracted to other men,<ref>[[Volume 61#Paper Airplane Case|Manga Chapter 638: Paper Airplane]]</ref> she is loyal to Makoto and tries to act the way she thinks a girlfriend should, including making him gifts<ref name=e228-229/> and planning romantic rendezvous.<ref name=e457-458/>

Sonoko loves to go on big vacations, like expensive ski trips,<ref name=e84-85/> and loves to buy fancy clothes and items.<ref name=e217-218/> She also loves to go to festivals where sugary sweets are on display, often picking up gigantic plates filled with various cakes.<ref name=e368>[[The Candy House the Witch Lives In|Episode 368: The Candy House the Witch Lives In]]</ref> She has even used [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] for the sole purpose of having a children's discount on food.<ref name=e547-548>[[Two Days with the Culprit|Episode 547-548: Two Days with the Culprit]]</ref> She is also a big fan of the band LEX,<ref name=e42>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> and various other people in pop music, including [[Two-Mix]].<ref name=e81-82>[[The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case|Episode 81-82: The Kidnapping of a Popular Artist Case]]</ref>

Conan has had to use Sonoko sometimes when he needs to do a deduction show. At first he struggled to mimic Sonoko's mannerisms and feminine speech patterns, but now he is better at it.<ref name=e79>[[The Bank Heist Murder Case|Episode 79: The Bank Heist Murder Case]]</ref> However, because he has had to use Sonoko so often for a deduction, she, like [[Kogoro Mouri]], has completely bought into her whole "sleeping" person, calling herself the best detective in [[Setting#Teitan High School|Teitan High School]], and a "Deduction Queen."<ref name=e79/> This makes Conan sometimes regret using her to solve a case, though he does admire her courage in certain situations. Sonoko is sometimes able to solve little things on her own, and can figure things out when she is provided some assistance by Conan, such as when Conan was sick and had to communicate to Sonoko, Kogoro, and [[Misao Yamamura|Yamamura]] in charades and sign language.<ref name=e331-332>[[The Suspicious Spicy Curry|Episode 331-332: The Suspicious Spicy Curry]]</ref>

Like many other people, Sonoko is a big fan of the [[Kaitou Kid]], due to his style, charm and daring exploits. She keeps cheering him on in trying to steal something, even when that 'something' is a rare treasure of the Suzuki family. She wishes to meet Kid up close (and have it develop into something more), and sometimes almost gets her wish, but is very disappointed at the ultimate failure.<ref name=e356>[[Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk|Episode 356: Kaito Kid's Miracle Midair Walk]]</ref>

== Appearance ==
When not in the Teitan High School uniform, Sonoko often wears a bandanna holding back her fringe, a skirt, and a cute shirt. Her clothes often show more skin compared to Ran, mostly for the purpose of attracting guys. In [[Countdown to Heaven]], she temporarily changes her hairstyle to a perm.

== Plot overview ==
=== Deduction Queen Sonoko (Manga: [[Volume 5#Bandaged Man Case|40-44]], Anime: [[Mountain Villa Bandaged Man Murder Case|34-35]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko35.png|thumb|left|200px|Deduction Queen Sonoko appears!]]
Conan and Ran visit Sonoko's mountain villa to see the autumn leaves and meet up with some old friends. On the way to the front they see a strange bandaged man in a dark cloak crossing the bridge. When they see him turn around, they are shocked at his face, as he quickly makes a retreat around the side of the house. Everything seems fine as Ran tries to find her room, accidentally walking in on the men also staying the house. When everyone is asked about the bandaged man he is brushed off as possibly a crazy man with nothing better to do. However, he is taken far more seriously when Ran is attacked in the woods, but the attacker is scared off by Conan, and later one of the women is seen being carried off by him from the windows. Conan and the other men chase him and find her dismembered body in the woods.

Everyone decides that it's best to go to bed for the night, when he strikes again, this time trying to kill Ran in her sleep. Conan saves Ran by waking her up to defend herself, but when the bandaged man retreats Conan wonders why Ran is a target. Everyone decides to stay up for the night and keep together to throw off the murderous man. Conan suspects that Ran saw something that made her a target, and the culprit is one of the people staying there. Despite having solved the case, Conan cannot present the solution, since his usual mouthpiece Kogoro isn't there to be put to sleep. So, he decides to solve the case through Ran. When he shoots the anaesthetic needle, however, Sonoko ends up in the way and she falls asleep. Left with no choice, Conan reveals the killer via Sonoko. While Sonoko doesn't remember making the deductions, she is very proud at having "solved" the case.

=== An Important Date (Manga: [[Volume 11#Coffee Shop Case|105-107]], Anime: [[Coffee Shop Murder Case|32]]) ===
At the end of the case, Conan asks Ran if she was meeting Shiro Wakaoji, a young man who was in the coffee shop with plans to take advantage of a "naive" teenage girl he met while skiing, despite his already having a girlfriend. She says no, but Shiro tries to flirt with her just before Sonoko announces her presence—Sonoko was his intended date, but she overheard Conan revealing Shiro's intentions. She slaps Shiro and storms away.

=== Makoto's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 22#Sonoko's Camera Case|219-221]], Anime: [[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|153-154]]) ===
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan go to Izu, where Sonoko's schemes to get a boyfriend. At the beach, Sonoko takes a picture of Ran fixing her bathing suit and threatens to send the picture to Shinichi (since she likes teasing Ran and Shinichi frequently about being an "old married couple"). Sonoko also laments about her lack of a love life, just before a college student, Michiwaki, asks her out to lunch. Ecstatic at the romantic attention, she agrees to lunch and then to dinner as well. However, due to nervousness, she has Ran and Conan come along for lunch. During the meal, Michiwaki tells a story that young brunette girls have been found murdered in the woods not far from the restaurant, once a year ago and once much more recently, but he offers to keep Sonoko safe.
[[File:EP153-154b Case.jpg|thumb|right|200px|The serial killer tries to kill Sonoko.]]
Later, Sonoko is attacked when she interrupts a suspicious figure searching her belongings, and bites him in self-defense before he escapes. The stoic and somewhat unfriendly high school student, [[Makoto Kyogoku]], who is working at the ''ryokan'' moves the group to another room. Ran thinks she has seen him somewhere before but cannot remember where. Michiwaki arrives muddy and wet and Conan suspects him of attacking Sonoko, but he does not have a bite mark on his arm. Makoto has a bandaged bicep and falls under suspicion but Sonoko says he wasn't the attacker because the attacker was hairy. Michiwaki, Sonoko, Ran, and Conan decide to have dinner at the ''ryokan'' because Michiwaki says that his car has broken down. Conan speculates that Sonoko's attacker was looking for the photographs she was taking during the trip, but cannot figure out why. Conan does not think there are any incriminating photos, but perhaps the murderer overheard Sonoko talking about the photographs (about sending them to Shinichi) and misunderstood.

The next day, Michiwaki, Ran and Conan go to eat at a restaurant while Sonoko tries to have a light sleep in the car. Suddenly, the car starts rolling towards the nearby cliff edge, and Sonoko barely escapes with her life. However, there is no evidence pointing towards the culprit. Ran and Conan go to report the incident while Michiwaki keeps Sonoko company. When alone on a walk in the forest, Michiwaki reveals that he is the serial killer and Sonoko is his target. He had the mistaken notion that Sonoko took a picture of him with his lastest victim and wants to get rid of both the picture and Sonoko a witness. Before he can hurt her, Makoto appears and saves her with an impressive martial arts display. Ran realizes that Makoto is a martial arts champion she has seen in competitions before. Makoto confesses awkwardly that he loves Sonoko, to Sonoko's surprise and delight. Though Makoto is often travelling for tournaments, he and Sonoko maintain a long-distance relationship.

=== Jodie's Introduction (Manga: [[Volume 27#Arcade Murder Case|271-273]], Anime: [[The Battle Game Trap|226-227]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko227.png|thumb|right|200px|Sonoko thinks about Makoto.]]
Sonoko, Ran, and Conan are at the arcade taking sticker photos, which Ran realizes Sonoko suggested because Sonoko wants to put a sticker with her face on a letter to Makoto. Sonoko blushes but doesn't deny it. Soon after, they encounter their High School English teacher, Jodie Saintemillion, who is an avid gamer. Jodie introduces Ran to a virtual reality fighting game which uses mechanics to simulate a real fight. Ran loses to a gamer named Kengo Bito who taunts her for losing before going on to fight against his rival, Takayasu Shimizu. The battle is projected on a large screen, showing Bito's avatar overwhelming Shimizu's until just before the final blow. At the strange behavior, spectators check on Bito and discover that he is dead.

The police investigate and after reviewing the security camera's footage, they limit the suspects down to four people. When Conan deduces the culprit, he uses Sonoko again as he mouthpiece to expose the murderer. On the way home, Jodie says that Sonoko was like Kate Martin, and Ran says Sonoko was just like Shinichi. Ran and Sonoko part with Jodie on good terms.

=== Girl Clubbing Case (Manga: [[Volume 28#Girl Clubbing Case|284-286]], Anime: [[Megure's Sealed Secret|217-218]]) ===
Ran and Sonoko shop for a sweater that Sonoko wants to buy for Makoto; Ran scold Sonoko when she realizes Sonoko wants to pass the sweater off as hand-knitted by her. Ran sends Sonoko ahead to join Kogoro and Conan at a pasta shop, where they had coincidentally encountered the police investigating serial attacks on Japanese women following the "ganguro" fashion with darkly tanned skin, bleached hair, turtlenecks, miniskirts and high platform boots. Ran gets turned around and ends up in the parking lot, where she discovers a fourth victim, dead.
[[File:Sonoko218.png|thumb|right|200px|Sonoko... saved!?]]
During the investigation, Sonoko and Ran point out that the victims are wearing a jacket that wasn't theirs, and Conan realizes the victims were attacked just after leaving somewhere warm—their cars. Sonoko leaves to put her shopping in the car and then use the toilet, attracting the attention of someone in the crowd. It turns out the culprit blames the victim wearing platform shoes while driving on the death of his son, and he is attacking any woman who drives with platform shoes. Sonoko is wearing platform shoes, and when she leaves the department store toilet the culprit is waiting to attack her. Sonoko screams and runs away, but manages to knock off the hat and scarf hiding his face, leaving him determined to kill her so she can't identify him. As Sonoko runs, her ankle twists under her and she falls. When the murderer attacks her, however, Inspector Megure arrives in the nick of time to protect her and confront the culprit. Megure was injured while protecting Sonoko, and at the hospital, Superintendent Matsumoto tells Ran and Sonoko the story of a girl Megure knew who impersonated a serial killer's victims and was gravely injured. Sonoko and Ran are moved to tears, thinking that the girl died, but it turns out that she survived and is now Megure's wife.

=== Murderous Pottery Class (Manga: [[Volume 30#Pottery Class Case|305-307]], Anime: [[The Murderous Pottery Class|228-229]]) ===
[[File:Sonoko228.png|thumb|left|200px|Sonoko looking at Ran's vessel.]]
Sonoko shows off to Ran what she made in pottery class, a small cup for her with Makoto's name on it and a large cup for Makoto with her name on it. Her purpose is to have Makato think of her every time he drinks from it, so that he can't forget her and fall in love with another woman. She invites Ran to join the pottery class as well, and Ran thinks of Shinichi and accepts. As Ran works on her project, Sonoko tries to have Ran confess what she's written on the cup, but Ran refuses. Meanwhile, Conan sneaks in to spy on them, but gets caught. Sonoko keeps teasing Ran as they continue working, until a strange crash leads Ran to investigate—but not before warning off Sonoko from checking on Ran's project. A murder has occurred, and Conan investigates to discover the culprit. On finding the truth, he uses "Deduction Queen Sonoko" to reveal the killer.

A few days later, Sonoko shows Ran a picture that Makoto sent her—to Sonoko's embarrassment, Makoto mistook her cup for a vase, and sent her a picture showing off the flowers he'd put in it.

[[Kogoro Mouri]] receives an invitation to a Halloween cruise; the Halloween cruise is famous for hiring guests to star in a horror film. Sonoko lends her makeup skills to turn Kogoro into a vampire.

During the cruise, the party members are divided into groups; team "Devil" consists of Kogoro, Sonoko, and people disguised as a werewolf, a mummy, a medusa and an invisible man. During the party, the host is murdered by a crossbow arrow with a card identifying team devil attached. Sonoko investigates with Kogoro and both suspect the mummy, who has no card, but later it is revealed to have been a trick. Sonoko is shocked when the invisible man turns out to be Shinichi, who solves the case, although he is later revealed to have actually been [[Heiji Hattori]] in disguise.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends===
{{main|Suzuki family}}

==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko hugging Ran.]]
Sonoko and [[Ran]] have been best friends ever since they were little.<ref name=MF3>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko is often there to help Ran whenever she is bullied by other school children, more often there than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was.<ref name=MF3 /> They were often shown hanging out with each others on the way home after school. Sonoko usually invites Ran to join her on trips, family events (such as [[Jirokichi Suzuki|Jirokichi's]] [[Kaitou Kid|Kid]] heists), other trips or activities<ref>The Bell Tree Express.</ref>, or simply just go shopping together. Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=e576>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship. Ran once chose to not go on a ski vacation with Sonoko because she didn't have the money to pay for her own trip, when she knew that Sonoko would pay for her to go if asked.<ref name=e329-330>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Despite teasing Ran about her feelings for Shinichi, it also seems that Sonoko, at some point, wants Ran to respond to Shinichi's confession and at least try helping her on that matter.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|the man of her own]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got the attentions from boys.<ref>[[Volume 22#File 219 - Go On.2C Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> However, this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

==== Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa ====
Sonoko Suzuki and Shinichi are childhood frineds. They know each other since childhood. Sonoko finds Shinichi's mystery affection annoying and considers him as arrogant and showoff but acknowledge his knowledge and intelligence deeply. On the other hand Shinichi finds Sonoko annoying as she constantly teases Ran and him about their relationship, calling them Husband and Wife, or Boyfriend and Girlfriend. Shinichi also finds Sonoko's attempts of attracting boys rather irritating. Sonoko is one of only few people who calls Shinichi by his first name with the honorific '-kun'. Shinichi, in turns, also calls Sonoko by her first name, but without including any honorific.
In Conan Edogawa form, whenever Shinichi/ [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is near Sonoko, she gets annoyed. She thinks of him as a brat who knows a lot of weird stuff. Conan finds her annoying in turn, especially when she teases Ran about her relationship with Shinichi.

==== Makoto Kyogoku ====
Sonoko originally met [[Makoto Kyogoku]] while on a vacation, when he worked at his father's hotel in his spare time.<ref name=e153-154>[[Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story|Episode 153-154: Sonoko's Dangerous Summer Story]]</ref> At first, neither she, Conan, nor Ran recognized him, because he wore glasses to hide his features. He later saves her when he takes a knife in the arm for her, to protect her from getting killed by a crazed serial killer.<ref name=e153-154/> This is when Ran finally realizes that he is the famous karate champion. After defeating the killer, he confesses his feelings for her, which leaves Sonoko dumbfounded and flustered.<ref name=e153-154 /> According to Makoto, he originally met Sonoko during one of Ran's tournaments, and loved how feisty and fiery she was in trying to cheer her friend on.<ref name=e153-154/> After this, Sonoko and Makoto begin a long distance relationship.<ref name=e153-154/>
[[Image:Sonoko Presents Her Chocolate to Makoto.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Sonoko presenting the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Makoto often saves Sonoko from dangerous peril, like in a snow lodge,<ref name=e266-268>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> and in a forest.<ref name=e457-458/> Sonoko loves to plot romantic rendezvous with Makoto,<ref name=e457-458/>; he tries to go along, though things don't always go the way Sonoko imagines they will.<ref name=e266-268/><ref name=e457-458/> He often warns her against dressing to revealingly, afraid she'll attract predatory men as a result.<ref name=e153-154/><ref name=e266-268/>
[[Image:Sonoko Gives Makoto Her Chocolate.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Sonoko gives the chocolate she made to Makoto.]]
Sonoko often wants to show Makoto that her feelings for him are stronger than he thinks, planning simple ideas to make him feel special. However, these often go in awry, as she either cannot make what she had planned to make, like when she promised to make him a home-made sweater, but had to resort to buying one in a mall,<ref name=e217-218>[[Megure's Locked Away Secret|Episode 217-218: Megure's Locked Away Secret]]</ref> or Makoto has no idea what she gave him is, like when he believed that the pottery she sent him was supposed to be for flowers.<ref name=e228-229>[[The Murderous Pottery Class|Episode 228-229: The Murderous Pottery Class]]</ref> Sonoko keeps a photo of Makoto in her purse, and uses it as a good luck charm for when she takes exams.<ref name=e304>[[Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages|Episode 304: Trembling Metropolitan Police Headquarters 12 Million Hostages]]</ref> She has also made him Valentine's chocolate, trying to make him feel jealous by not saying who it was for, thus forcing him to visit her in a snow lodge to ask her what was going on.<ref name=e266-268/> When he finds out that indeed, she made him the chocolate, he gets very embarrassed himself.<ref name=e266-268/>

Although long distance relationships can be hard to be in, Sonoko has stayed faithful to Makoto, other than dreaming of meeting up with the Kaitou Kid, though this is mostly to see him up close more than anything else.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
While having a conversation with Ran and Kazuha, Sonoko once jokingly stated that she was interested in Heiji.<ref>[[Volume 26]], File 255, Page 7</ref>

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Sonoko and Kazuha have met each other only a few times in the anime. Despite this, they have a friendly relationship. In movie 10, Sonoko seemed to be pleased after seeing Kazuha at the Wonder Land, she even offered her to come with her and Ran.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Sonoko and Ran are good friends with [[Masumi Sera|Masumi]], and they are often seen returning home together after school. Sonoko has a habit of teasing Masumi about her "flat chest". However, she does acknowledge Masumi's popularity in school due to her deductive abilities and her prowess in martial arts.

=== Others ===
==== Kaito Kid ====
[[File:701 4.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is really impressed with Kaitou Kid.]]
Sonoko thinks that [[Kaitou Kid]] is a really cool guy because of his quick and versatile actions when he is doing his thievery. She is also very much charmed by him, often daydreaming of how he will fight for her affections or fall hopelessly in love with her. This occasionally brings trouble because of Sonoko's infatuation with Kaitou Kid, most notably the time where her boyfriend Makoto thought he had to fight Kaitou Kid for her heart. In the end, Sonoko, although she flirts with Kid and often tries to catch his attention, is actually committed to her relationship with Makoto. This is even attested by Kaitou Kid, who told Makoto that he couldn't capture her heart because it belongs to Makoto.

== Trivia ==
* According to Detective Conan producer Michihiko Suwa, Sonoko was supposed to appear only once in the anime, but since the staff liked Sonoko's voice actor's portrayal so much, they made her appear more.
* According to Suwa, [[Momiji Ooka]] was made to be the "Sonoko of the West".
* Sonoko has been shown to be very aggressive. For example when Genta called her "Auntie Sonoko", she punched him extremely hard, and when she was interrupted by a soccer ball, she threw it back at the kicker, causing him to fall back.
* The first Latin American Spanish dub (until Episode 123) was very inconsistent regarding Sonoko's name. She was usually called Sarita, but she has also been called Susana, Anabela, Sonia and others. The new dub retains the original names, so the inconsistency is now gone.
* "Sonoko" (園子) is written with the characters for "garden" and "child".

'''{{nihongo|Ran Mouri|毛利蘭|Mōri Ran}}''', also known as '''Rachel Moore''' in the [[Funimation]] dub, is a main protagonist in the manga and anime series, ''[[Detective Conan]]''. She is the childhood friend and the romantic interest of [[Shinichi Kudo]] and the daughter of [[Kogoro Mouri]].

== Background ==
[[File:Child Ran and Fusae.jpg|thumb|left|200px|First Grade Ran meets Fusae Campbell, ten years before the present storyline, and borrows her umbrella.]]
Ran is a childhood friend of [[Shinichi Kudo]]. She is the daughter of [[Kogoro Mouri]], a private detective, and [[Eri Kisaki]], a lawyer. Her parents separated when she was seven,<ref name="m2">[[The Fourteenth Target|Movie 2: The Fourteenth Target]]</ref> and one of her biggest goals is to get them back together. Her best friend besides Shinichi is her classmate [[Sonoko Suzuki]], who often teases her about her relationship with Shinichi. Her other friends include [[Masumi Sera]], [[Kazuha Toyama]] and [[Heiji Hattori]].

Ran first met Shinichi back in Sakura class. Ran began liking Shinichi when she noticed he was wearing a paper name badge like her, so she wouldn't be bullied for being the only one without a proper badge. Unknown to her, her home room teacher was secretly planning to kidnap her, which Shinichi - with his father's help - foiled. Ran seemed unaware of the plot.

When Ran and Shinichi were six, they snuck into [[Teitan Elementary School]] at night to uncover the truth behind a hat-wearing monster rumor. They met the elder [[Kaitou Kid]] in the school library who played a nasty prank on them before handing over a code inside a leather wallet. With the help of Agasa, Shinichi and Ran partially solved the case and Shinichi started to informally call Ran by her first name. That same year Ran met [[Fusae Campbell]] who was waiting to see if Agasa would appear at their promised meeting place. Fusae gives Ran her umbrella and asks Ran to buy one of her designer purses when she gets older.

At ten years old, Ran developed an interest in karate after witnessing national champion Satoru Maeda.<ref name="karate">[[Volume 8#File 072 - Night Baron|Volume 8, File 72: "The Night Baron"]]</ref> By age sixteen, she had developed into a highly skilled martial artist, captaining Teitan High School's karate club.

Around a year before the series' start, Ran joined Shinichi on a trip to visit his parents in New York (her own father being otherwise engaged by a community trip). She was there when Shinichi solved his first case and gained recognition as a detective. They met [[Yukiko Kudo]], his mother, and her actress friend, [[Sharon Vineyard]] (the public face of [[Vermouth]], a member of the [[Black Organization]]). Later that evening, she encountered [[Shuichi Akai]] who warned her there was a serial killer on the prowl in the area. Ran later encountered [[Vermouth]] in disguise as the serial killer. Vermouth would have fallen to her death, but Ran caught her arm and Shinichi helped her pull Vermouth to safety. Due to this, Vermouth gave Ran and Shinichi the nicknames "Angel" and "Cool Guy", respectively.<ref>[[Volume 34#File 350 - Golden Apple 1|Volumes 34-35, Files 350-354: "Golden Apple 1"]]</ref> Vermouth later showed hesitance to kill Ran and later [[Conan Edogawa]] (Shinichi's childhood form) as well,<ref name="e345">[[Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night|Episode 345: Head-to-Head Match with the Black Organization: A Dual Mystery on a Full Moon Night]]</ref> but whether or not it was because of any emotional attachment is unclear. It was during this trip that Ran realized her true feelings for Shinichi, finally realizing that she is in love with him.

Before the tropical land meetup, Shinichi and Ran visited Beika Aquarium together where Shinchi solved a case. After the case Shinichi accidentally making her drop her new cellphone on a sewer, he promises to replace it and take her to Tropical Land if she wins the Karate Championship as an apology, she also half-jokingly demands her new cellphone to be strapped with a sea cucumber strap, which Shinichi actually got for her.

After Shinichi's disappearance while on a trip to [[Tropical Land]] Amusement Park with her, Ran met Conan, who was introduced by [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] as a "distant relative". At Agasa's request, Ran agreed to look after him, and immediately came to think of him as a surrogate little brother.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> Ran has come to suspect Conan's identity multiple times, but Conan always manages (helped by his friends like [[Ai Haibara]] and even [[Kaito Kid]]) to find a sufficient alibi to satisfy her concerns.
{{clearleft}}

== Personality ==
[[File:773-1.png|thumb|200px|Ran is mad at Shinichi for losing her phone.]]
[[File:773-2.png|thumb|200px|"Why would you make me say that?!"]]
Ran's greatest personality trait is that she genuinely cares for those she loves. She is also patient, kind, and nurturing. She has a very overwhelming personality, quickly able to intimidate people when angered. Like Shinichi, she highly values justice to the point of idealism. To avoid making Shinichi choose between her and his important case (which is actually useless because Shinichi has turned into Conan and can't return as of now), she has decided to wait for him to finish it, trusting his promise that he will come back, despite their separation causing Ran a lot of emotional pain. Ran is also very hot-blooded and tends to act on impulses when the people she cares about are involved; the combination of jumping to conclusions and not hesitating to use karate on those who she perceives to have wronged someone have led to several "near-miss" misunderstandings. She is also not above using martial arts as a subtle threat to keep people, including her father, in line. In earlier stories, she would become violently suspicious if she thought Shinichi was philandering, although more recently his confessions (in the [[Holmes' Revelation]] Arc) have led her to trust his intentions.

Ran can be very brave and resourceful when she wants to be, and has rescued Conan from trouble on many occasions. She has remained bold, steady, confident and calm in many situations that would usually cause others to remain frozen in fear, such as being threatened by a gun <ref name="e345"/> or surrounded by flames<ref>[[Movie 5]]</ref>. However, she has an irrational fear of the supernatural and is thus — unlike her friend Sonoko — absolutely no fan of anything related to the horror genre.<ref name="e274">[[Truth About the Haunted House|Episode 274-275: Truth About the Haunted House]]</ref> She also constantly tries to reunite her father and mother again, though with little success, thanks to the mutual stubbornness of both parents. Ran is typically unaware of her own attractiveness, and usually remains oblivious when men try to flirt with her, often to Sonoko's exasperation, who believes her wait for Shinichi to be hopeless. If made aware, Ran doesn't respond in kind due to her feelings for Shinichi. Even though Ran is in love with Shinichi, she has repeatedly failed to convey her feelings (until The Crimson School Trip) because she suddenly becomes self-conscious.

Ran is very self-sufficient for her age, since her father Kogoro is often drunk, slovenly, and fiscally irresponsible. She handles many of the Mouri household's financial affairs and all the cooking and housework. She also ensures Kogoro doesn't slack off on his job, is on his best behaviour for client meetings, and she often greets and provides refreshments for potential clients. She also appreciates fine art. Ran is noted by both Shinichi and [[Shuichi Akai]] as one who "cries a lot".<ref> Manga file: "Ran's Tears"</ref>

Ran also seemed to have a sense of noticing when something seems wrong or strange, although she doesn't always figure out on her own what it is. Like in a [[Volume 29#Girl Clubbing Case|case]] where a ganguro woman was killed, Ran could feel that there something that didn't fit in with the victim's look (the killer had switched platform boots with regular shoes). And during the Macademy awards Ran noticed that Shinichi's father who was on TV (who was Yukiko in disguise) behaved 'cute'.

It has happened that Ran, like her father, can become serious about a case, if it involves something personal to her. During the Night Baron murder, upon realizing that her idol Satoru Maeda was the most likely suspect, she - after considering what Shinichi would have done in her situation - made considerable effort to prove him innocent. Another time she helped an old classmate, accused of theft, proving her innocent.

Ran also likes to rush wherever she goes, believing both her name and nature to be like the word "Run" from English. She even said to Shinichi, "My name is Ran! I was born to run!"

== Appearance ==
Ran is a light-skinned girl of average height. She is slender in frame, yet sports an athletic and curvaceous build. She has big bluish-purple eyes and dark brown hair. Her hair is straight and hip-length, tucked behind her ears with short wavy bangs over her forehead. What was originally a wave in her bangs has evolved into a stylized triangular point as the manga has progressed. Ran is also very beautiful, as described by many characters throughout the series. Many men have become infatuated with her in the series, as noted by Sonoko (much to Sonoko's annoyance). [[Eisuke Hondou]] had openly confessed before Conan that he was in love with Ran (though the statement's truth is somewhat doubted). Ran was once even offered a [[An Elevator Murder Case|modeling job]].

== Abilities ==
[[File:691-16.png|thumb|200px|Ran beats up a gangster.]]
=== Martial arts ===
Ran's most notable ability is her great prowess in martial arts; she is a black-belt in karate as well as team captain and ace of her high school team with enough skill to win regional tournaments in her age group.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 001 - The Heisei Holmes|Volume 1, File 1: "The Heisei Holmes"]]</ref> Her skills are also shown comparable to [[Makoto Kyogoku]], a world-class martial artist (and Sonoko's boyfriend), able to effectively attack in perfect sync with him.<ref>[[Volume 33#File 334 - Bloody Valentine 4|Volume 33, File 334: - "Bloody Valentine 4"]]</ref> She is also well-trained in Judo by her father, showing similar proficiency in his signature one-armed shoulder throw. Her deceptive strength and skill have been seen repeatedly, both from her ability to effortlessly smash stone and other very sturdy objects and with noticeable dexterity and agility also take out various and multiple assailants, most with just a single hit. From watching Shinichi play soccer over the years, Ran has also developed similar flexibility and accuracy in her kicks.<ref>[[Movie 16]]</ref> Despite her prowess, she may not always be able to fight if scared too much.<ref name="m2"/> Ran was also unable to fight due to suffering from amnesia in [[Captured in Her Eyes|Movie 4: Captured in Her Eyes]].

=== Physical prowess ===
Despite her slender frame, Ran has considerable raw strength, as seen from prying open a powerless elevator door, and holding up a much-larger Vermouth when she almost fell to her death in the 'Shinichi Kudo's NY Adventure' arc. She is also shown to be remarkably fast, able to quickly react to and knock away falling pipes and likewise dodge a bullet up-close while on guard. Her strikes have also shown similar speed, able to swat down a bee with a single kick. Conan states that Ran has an unusual amount of stamina.<ref name="m9">[[Strategy Above the Depths|Movie 9: Strategy Above the Depths]]</ref>

=== Intelligence ===
Ran is quite intelligent. She was able to solve a few cases on her own, and has been shown to be a better detective than several characters such as Sonoko on a number of occasions. Shinichi/Conan has even acknowledged that Ran is a skillful detective<ref name="e196">[[The Invisible Weapon, Ran's First Investigation|Episode 196: The Invisible Weapon, Ran's First Investigation]]</ref>. Ran also has a very good memory and attention to detail, having used both to contribute to investigations more than once. If Shinichi/Conan had not gone through extreme lengths to fool her, she would have been the first to deduce that Conan and Shinichi are the same person.

=== Other skills ===
Ran is also very skilled in running a household, including sewing and cooking. She is musically talented, noted to be a very good singer and she can also play the piano well. She also speaks adequate English. She also has astonishing luck and good instincts when it comes to gambling, lotteries, and any game of chance; she has never been known to lose.<ref>[[Volume 8]]</ref><ref name="e75">[[Loan Company President's Murder Case|Episode 75: Loan Company President's Murder Case]]</ref> Likewise, Ran has shown very alert senses in darkness, able to notice an attacker with a weapon and strike to protect herself.<ref>File 041 - The First Victim!</ref> She was also shown to be very fast when needed, such as dodging a bullet in [[The Raven Chaser|Movie 13: The Raven Chaser]].

== Appellations ==

== Plot overview ==
=== Doubts about Conan's identity ===
In time, Ran comes to suspect that Conan is actually Shinichi, despite what her common sense would say, but he always manages to trick her and prove her wrong. There are, however, occasions where she appears to be sure that Shinichi and Conan are one and the same.

==== Monthly Presents Case (Manga: [[Volume 3|026-029]], Anime: [[Once-A-Month Present Threat Case|7]]) ====
[[File:007-1.png|right|thumb|200px|Episode 7]]
The first time Ran suspects Conan is episode 7. After seeing how Conan, like Shinichi, can deduce someone's occupation by just touching the person's hand, Ran becomes very suspicious and keeps an eye on Conan during the whole case. However, Professor Agasa calls Ran with the voice changing bowtie at the end, freeing Conan of suspicion for a while.

==== Suspicious Uncle Case (Manga: [[Volume 14|131-134]], Anime: [[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|96]]) ====
[[File:096-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Episode 96]]
[[The Cornered Famous Detective! Two Big Murder Cases|Another time]], when Ran finds Conan asleep on the sofa, she takes off his glasses and notices the striking resemblance he has to Shinichi as a child. She later confronts Conan about this resemblance, his similar powers of deduction, and even his shared lack of any musical knowledge. However, Shinichi's mother unexpectedly shows up and covers for Conan by explaining that Conan resembles Shinichi because they are distant relatives and that Conan possesses Shinichi's deductive ability because he admires Shinichi and learns from him. Despite apologizing to Conan for doubting him, Ran does not lose her suspicions, but keeps them to herself for awhile, as noted by [[Yukiko]], telling Conan that Ran's last smile wasn't convincing her, immediately realising that the girl wasn't satisfied with her last answer and that she is keeping her suspicions for herself until she finds real proof.<ref>[[Volume 26|Volume 26, File 254: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref>

==== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 26|256-257]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|191]])====
[[File:191-1.png|right|thumb|200px|Episode 191]]
[[The Desperate Revival|When Conan is critically injured]] and requires a blood donation, Ran donates her blood without hesitation, knowing she and Shinichi share the same rare blood type. Since this act proves Ran's suspicions are correct, with the help of [[Ai Haibara]], Conan manages to fool Ran by allowing Shinichi to appear before her while Conan (Ai Haibara in disguise) is present.

==== Suspicious Cellphone Case (Manga: [[Volume 47|483]], Anime: [[Ran's Suspicions|400]]) ====
[[File:Ran suspecting Conan.jpg|left|thumb|200px|Episode 400]]
In [[Ran's Suspicions]], Conan once forgets his cell phone on the couch and Ran, in the room at the time, remembers to send an email to Shinichi to let him know that she's going with her father on a case and that his presence would be most welcome as Kogoro could use the help. Right after sending the message, Conan's phone starts vibrating. Ran, quite perplexed by the perfect timing, checks his phone only to discover a new email (she hasn't seen the content yet). At that moment, Conan enters the room, and seeing his phone in Ran's hands, rushes towards it while shouting and grabs it back asking: "''Did you look?''". He quickly understands that Ran's email may have risen doubts about his identity.<ref name="e398">[[The Weird Family's Commission|Episode 398-399: The Weird Family's Commission]]</ref>

Following this event, Ran first believes that Shinichi often contacts Conan without her knowing, which would in some way explain how he always seems to help out on cases. Later on, after seeing Conan give an important clue to the investigation team without making use of his cell phone (to eventually contact Shinichi like she was suspecting), she starts to believe that Conan is actually Shinichi thinking that past occurrences of both being present at the same time was just a trick he used to fool her.<ref name="e398" />

At the end of the day, Ran is able to retrieve Conan's phone. Late at night, after waiting for everybody to go to bed, she tries to get past the phone's PIN code to check whether her email is there or not. This, to her, would be undeniable proof that Conan is indeed Shinichi. After finally guessing the number equivalent of "Sherlock" to be the PIN code, she's surprised not to see her email there. She instantly tries a few times to resend another email but nothing comes up on Conan's phone. That's when Shinichi calls her complaining about the numerous emails she's been sending. Conan, then knocks at the door and claims back his phone saying that he didn't want people looking inside because of messages he received from a girl he likes. It is later showed that Conan actually exchanged his phone with Agasa's (which are both of the same model) and used his phone upstairs to call Ran, while she was experimenting with the Professor's phone, to create this whole alibi. Shinichi then tells Ran that she now knows his phone number. And Ran, pleased with the situation, clears her mind out of all suspicions she had about Conan's identity<ref>[[Ran's Suspicions|Episode 400: Ran's Suspicions]]</ref> - at least, consciously.

==== Kazuha's Charm Case (Manga: [[Volume 66|694-695]], Anime: [[The Whereabouts of the Embarrassing Charm|574]]) ====
[[File:574-1.png|right|thumb|200px|Episode 574]]
During "[[The Whereabouts of the Embarrassing Charm]]" case we can see that Ran's suspicions are arising again. This is thanks to [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]], who openly revealed that his charm had Shinichi's fingerprints during the "Murderer, Shinichi Kudo" case. Ran asks [[Kazuha Toyama|Kazuha]] how that's possible when it was only Conan and Heiji who touched it. Kazuha supposes that Heiji lent it to Shinichi at some point. Ran is doubtful and glances toward Conan. Later, Ran talks directly to Conan about the assault case they'd gotten involved in, and he points out that she should talk to Heiji. She responds with "I have a feeling you figured out the proof too", but thinks "Why do I think that?" Unconsciously she thinks she is talking to Shinichi.

==== Cold Case (Manga: [[Volume 77|813-814]], Anime: [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case|691]]) ====
[[File:691-13.png|left|thumb|200px|Episode 691]]
In [[Volume 77|manga chapter 814]] / [[Yusaku Kudo%27s Cold Case|Anime episode 690-691]], Conan and the girls solve a case similar to one [[Yusaku Kudo]] abandoned 10 years ago. While explaining the solution, Conan talks so convincingly that Ran feels a strong impression that Shinichi is the one speaking. It unnerves her to the point where she stops Conan, but he states that he's only reading Shinichi's e-mail.

==== Eri Kisaki Abduction Case (Manga: [[Volume 93#Eri Kisaki Abduction Case|984-986]] , Anime: [[Lawyer Kisaki's SOS|901-902]]) ====
When Eri was kidnapped, Ran became suspicious of Conan's identity after witnessing Conan's deductions and skills that lead them to the place where her mother was kidnapped. Ran told Conan that he must be Shinichi, but Conan manages to deceive her by recording himself speaking with Shinichi's voice giving advices to her mother so she wouldn't be involved in the same case, which made Ran lose suspicions, much to Conan's relief.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
==== Movie 3: [[The Last Wizard of the Century]] ====
[[File:Movie3.jpg|thumb|right|200px|]]
In movie 3 when Natsumi and Seiran are revealing the date of their birthdays, which are May 3rd and May 5th, [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] reveals his birthday is on May 4th. Ran is shocked as Conan's birthday is the same date as Shinichi's birthday. Ran begins to doubt Conan's identity and begins to suspect he and Shinichi are the same person, but she soon brushes off her beliefs, knowing it's a ridiculous possibility. However, despite her earlier remark, Ran continues to be suspicious of Conan throughout the movie as she keeps a close eye on him and listens closely whenever he is making a deduction, even telling her father to be quiet at one point. Later, when the Scorpion is about to shoot Ran, Conan hurriedly pushes Ran to avoid the bullet. In that moment, Ran imagines Conan to be Shinichi, thus increasing her suspicions of them being the same person. Later, when Ran and everyone escape and witness the burning castle, everyone becomes worried about Conan. Ran refers to Conan as "Shinichi" as she witnesses the castle burning, confirming that Ran officially believes that Shinichi and Conan are the same person.

Later at the Mouri Detective Agency, Ran and Conan talk, where Ran thanks him for saving her, but reveals he acted very much like [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]]. Ran begins to cry and asks Conan if she isn't crazy for thinking he and Shinichi are one and the same. Upon witnessing Ran crying as she reveals her suspicions, Conan realizes that he has to tell her the truth, but when he is about to reveal himself, Kid appears as Shinichi, making Ran believe once again that Shinichi and Conan are not the same.

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Shinichi Kudo ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Image:Shinichi and Ran.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi and Ran.]]
[[Shinichi Kudo]] and Ran Mouri have been friends ever since childhood.<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure|Episode 472-473: Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure]]</ref> As teenagers, their closeness has developed into romantic feelings for each other. Ran recalls that she realized she is in love with Shinichi during their trip to New York together.<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref> However, when Shinichi vanishes and Conan appears, her regard for Shinichi is mostly subsumed by her worry for his well-being. Conan tries to call her using his bowtie to impersonate his usual voice in order to allay her fears, but his long absence with no explanation other than a "tough case to solve" leaves her worried and hurt that even the times he does briefly appear, he vanishes before anything meaningful can be said. Shinichi also loves Ran and hates to see her hurt either emotionally or physically. Even as Conan he is very protective of her. For a long time, Shinichi has said nothing of his feelings so that his absence won't hurt Ran worse than it already does; he also wishes to tell Ran the truth about his identity but chooses her safety above their happiness. Currently, she appears to have consciously accepted that Shinichi is ''not'' Conan, although she seems to know his identity subconsciously.
[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|200px|Shinichi reveals his feelings for Ran.]]
Ran and Shinichi have shared many romantic moments, such as when Shinichi bought Ran a pair of red gloves for Christmas,<ref name=Karaoke>[[Karaoke Box Murder Case|Episode 42: Karaoke Box Murder Case]]</ref> or when he pretended that as Shinichi, while she was asleep he ate the Valentine's Day chocolate that she had made for him.<ref>[[The Truth Behind Valentine's|Episode 266-268: The Truth Behind Valentine's]]</ref> In London, Ran's distress at Shinichi's seeming coldness to her care for him led Shinichi to confess his feelings for her—an act that left Ran so stunned that she didn't say anything about her own feelings in return. Sonoko speculates that Ran's omission will make Shinichi move on, but Conan is well aware of Ran's feelings already. Shinichi and Ran also appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making them almost impossibly aware of when the other is in extreme danger, and often able to sense the other's worried thoughts.<ref>[[Volume 36#File 372 - The Most in This World...|Volume 36, File 372: "The Most in This World..."]] and [[Volume 37#File 373 - Bye Bye|Volume 37, File 373: "Bye-Bye"]]</ref>

However in the latest file 1008 it was confirmed that Shinichi and Ran are now dating. During the end of the crimson school trip Shinichi asked Ran about how she felt about the confession in London. Which she replied with a kiss to the cheek. Shinichi was about to kiss her back but he began to transform back into Conan. This caused him to leave early. Ran and Shinichi have been emailing each other since then. Ran even asking if they were boyfriend and girlfriend now. With Shinichi replying back of course we are.

==== Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki ====
{{main|Mouri family}}
Ran remains close to both [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and [[Eri Kisaki|Eri]] even though they have been separated for ten years. Her constant hope is that they finally get together again, and on occasion she even plays (re-)matchmaker by arranging not-so-accidental meetings between them. However, while possible, any reunion has so far been constantly hampered by their mutual stubbornness as well as the occasional criminal incident taking place in the immediate vicinity.

==== Kazuha Toyama ====
Despite having rather different temperaments and personalities, Kazuha and Ran have several things in common, including: proficiency in a martial art, father's connection to police work and detective work, and detective-obsessed childhood love interests. Kazuha was initially cold and rude to Ran, suspecting her of being interested in Heiji. However, thanks to Kazuha's frankness and Ran's accommodating nature, the girls quickly overcame this misunderstanding. They have since become close friends and seem to regard each other as confidantes, since they are in similar romantic situations: Ran and Shinichi cannot confess their feelings for each other, as Shinichi is, aside from telephone calls, physically absent from her life, and Kazuha and Heiji cannot confess their feelings for each other due to their own stubbornness and irascibility. After learning that Shinichi basically confessed his own romantic feelings for Ran, Kazuha strongly encouraged Ran to reveal her own back to him. While Conan/Shinichi and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend the time together. When Kazuha visits the Mouris' in Tokyo with Heiji, she is shown to share Ran's bed.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Heiji]] and Ran are very good friends, bonding after Heiji's many trips to Tokyo because he "misses Conan". Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side.

Since Heiji knows that Ran is Shinichi's Girlfriend, he tends to tease Shinichi about her quite often and will give him advice on his romantic relationship with her. He is also sometimes protective of her for the sake of Shinichi, such as when Soshi Okita flirted with Ran and he told him to back off since she is "his friend's girl" referring to Shinichi. Since it's practically identical with his relationship with Kazuha (Even though they aren't on the same level as Shinichi & Ran's romantic relationship).

Heiji almost views Ran as a sister, as he will tease her from time to time and he'll help explain things to her during cases along with Kazuha.
He acts brotherly toward Ran, at several occasions, he often called her "sister" (neechan in Japanese). Ran respects Heiji as a very skilled detective who reminds her of Shinichi, but whenever Heiji and Kazuha run into an argument, Ran seems to take Kazuha's side. Despite this, they have become very good friends.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
[[Image:Ran and Sonoko.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Ran and Sonoko.]]
[[File:691-6.png|thumb|left|200px|Sonoko likes to tease Ran]]
[[Sonoko Suzuki|Sonoko]] and Ran have been best friends ever since they were children.<ref name=Magic>[[Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata|Magic File 3: Mahjong Pieces and the Memories from Tanabata]]</ref> Sonoko was often there to help Ran whenever she was bullied by other school children, more so than even [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]].<ref name=Magic/> Sonoko and Ran are often shown walking together after school. Sonoko often invites Ran to join her on trips or events hosted by the Suzuki family (most commonly her [[Jirokichi Suzuki|uncle]]'s showdowns with [[Kaitou Kid]]). They also go out shopping or to karaoke together.<ref name=Karaoke/>

She also seem to notice Ran's emotional attention to other. When Ran believed that Conan was Shinichi, Sonoko noticed that Ran was behaving lovely-dovey toward Conan.

Sonoko once said to a murderer what she thought about friendship: "So what if friendship is unreliable and fragile! That way when you communicate with your heart, you can feel the warmth inside. If it were as hard as some chattering iron plate, you wouldn’t feel the warmth, y’know?"<ref name=Loli>[[The Alibi of the Black Dress|Episode 576: "The Alibi of the Black Dress"]]</ref>

Meanwhile, even though Ran knows that Sonoko has a lot of money, she always makes sure that money never gets involved in their friendship, not going to ski vacations with Sonoko because she doesn't have the money, when she knows that Sonoko would pay for her to go.<ref name=Friendship>[[Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money|Episode 329-330: Friendship Can't Be Bought With Money]]</ref> This, along with other things, has helped strengthen the bond between both Ran and Sonoko.

Before meeting [[Makoto Kyogoku|her boyfriend]], Sonoko was sometimes envious that Ran always got more attention from boys,<ref>[[Volume 22#File 219 - Go On.2C Sonoko.21|Volume 22, File 219, Page 4.]]</ref> but this didn't affect the deep friendship between them.

==== Masumi Sera ====
Masumi and Ran are high school classmates who met each other in the past. During the "Which Sweets Show" murder case, when Ran sees Masumi running away from her from behind, she hears the sound of rippling waves and feels a spell is casted on her. After the murder case at the pool in Hotel Hyde Pride was solved, Sonoko says Masumi is a magician, but Masumi denies that. Because the conversation about magicians sparked a memory in Ran's mind, Ran asked her if they met before; unfortunately, Sonoko interrupts them and so the question was never answered.

=== Detective Boys ===
==== Ai Haibara ====
[[Image:Ran saves Ai aspect ratio fixed.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Ran saved Ai Haibara as she was about to be shot by [[Vermouth]] and [[Calvados]].]]
There are instances where [[Haibara]] will caution Conan from actions that involve Ran, though it's assumed this is due merely to the fact that she wants to keep her identity hidden. At one point, she was very cold and distant towards Ran, just like she was to most other people. Ran believed that it was because that Haibara had hated her.<ref>[[The Mystery in the Net|Episode 246-247: The Mystery in the Net]]</ref> However, later that day, after hearing Ran speak about the nature of justice to a criminal, Haibara finally properly introduced herself to Ran and they slowly became friends.

Haibara considers Ran to resemble her older sister, Akemi Miyano, so she takes special interest in protecting her. These feelings began after Ran jumped through a slew of bullets from [[Calvados]] (and later [[Vermouth]]), to save Haibara and hold her down to the ground to shield her from the gunfire.<ref name="e345"/> Haibara is reminded of Akemi, and begins to treat Ran with more personal investment. When at a later point Haibara learns that [[Korn]], [[Chianti]], and the rest of the Black Organization are lurking about, Haibara begs for Ran to stay at Agasa's house, immediately thinking of her own sister's death, and wanting to keep Ran safe.<ref>[[Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!|Episode 425: Black Impact! The Moment the Black Organization Reaches Out!]]</ref>

=== Black Organization ===
[[Image:Ran saves Vermouth.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran saved Vermouth (who was disguising as a serial killer) back in New York.]]
==== Vermouth ====
Ran was a fan of the actress [[Sharon Vineyard]] and is currently unaware about Sharon's double-life as Chris Vineyard and Vermouth. Vermouth has a great deal of respect for Ran and protects her from the Organization's activities because Ran unknowingly saved a disguised Vermouth from falling to her death during the Golden Apple case (even though she was about to kill Ran).<ref>[[Shinichi Kudo's New York Case|Episode 286-288: Shinichi Kudo's New York Case]]</ref> Vermouth's codename for Ran is "Angel".

=== Others ===
==== Eisuke Hondou ====
In [[The Blind Spot in the Karaoke Box]], [[Eisuke Hondou|Eisuke]] expresses romantic interest in Ran. He admits to Conan that he loves Ran and claims that he wants take Ran to America to live happily ever after there, and to ask for Shinichi's permission. Conan, without hesitating, refuses his permission, which confirms his true identity to Eisuke.

==== Tomoaki Araide ====
[[Tomoaki Araide]] and Ran Mouri became friends while Araide was acting as a temporary basketball coach in place of a teacher who broke his leg. During "The Unseen Angle of the Darkness" Conan wrongly came to the conclusion that Ran was attracted to Araide. In truth she wanted to borrow his sweater in order to knit a similarly patterned one for Shinichi. Some anime-original features play with the idea that Araide is interested in Ran, most notably in the OVA story [[The Stranger from Ten Years Later]] where he proposed to her, but this was only a dream of Conan's and can be ignored.

==== Subaru Okiya ====
[[File:691-4.png|thumb|200px|Ran apologizing to Subaru.]]
Ran lied to [[Subaru Okiya|Subaru]] about Shinichi's fact because she felt that something terrible will happen to Shinichi if she did. She made Subaru confused about Shinichi and "Kinichi" but later in [[Yusaku Kudo's Cold Case]], Ran apologizes to Subaru for lying and told him the truth. In this episode, Subaru finds out that Conan is Shinichi.

==== Mary Sera ====
Before Ran walks home after the murder case at the pool in Hotel Hyde Pride is solved, she turns around and sees Masumi talking to Mary. Ran thinks she has seen that child before.

== Fan theories ==
*''Ran's 17th birthday will play a major role during the main plot of Detective Conan.''

In an interview given on January 3, 2012, Gosho Aoyama revealed that there is an "obstacle" preventing him from revealing Ran's birth date, "but since the birthday hasn't passed Ran is 16 right now".<ref name="Goshodayinterview" />

* ''Its possible that Ran actually knows Conan is Shinichi, and is simply hiding it.''

The reasoning behind this is that Ran should know that the Fingerprint evidence is Ironclad, meaning Conan HAS to be Shinichi, and in the Cold Case episode, where Conan should have phrased it as "Shinichi's father" instead of Dad, as anyone reading an email from someone else that was sent to them out loud to someone else would normally do. Another piece of evidence is when Ran talked to Conan about giving him her blood while helping Eisuke out to find his birth records. She brings it up, yet does not question how she knew Conan's blood type, or why Conan never questioned it himself. Additionally, back on the Cold Case file, she stops him while reading the email, and while she does not tell him out loud, the images we see imply she recognizes him as Shinichi, because instead of showing the adult Shinichi, we see child Shinichi. She likely then did this to stop him from revealing this in front of Sonoko and Sera, having him quickly make up an excuse in front of both of them so they don't get clued in. When you piece these three moments together, it is reasonable to conclude she not only knows, but is protecting Conan/Shinichi's identity consciously, though its highly doubtful she knows why.

She can probably conclude though her father cannot be trusted with the truth.

* ''It is possible that Ran will play a major role in the final battle with the organisation and will save Shinichi's life. ''

== Name origin ==
Ran's Japanese name derives from the Japanese rendering of [[Maurice Leblanc|Maurice Leblanc]] (from ''Mouri''su Rubu''ran'', according to Aoyama). Ran (蘭) itself means "orchid," which is also one of the flower tiles in [[Wikipedia: Mahjong|Mahjong]].<ref name=Magic/> "Ran Mouri" is also the name of a writer of the anime ''[[Wikipedia: Lupin III: Part II|Lupin III: Part II]]'', a source of inspiration for ''Detective Conan''.<ref>[http://twitter.com/conan_dana_/status/367654320365256704/photo/1 Twitter]</ref>

== Trivia ==
[[File:Ran's cellphone strap.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Ran's cellphone strap.]]
* Her second phone (the pink one) was presented by Shinichi after he accidentally made Ran lose her phone during the [[Shinichi Kudo Aquarium Case]].
* Gosho Aoyama, the creator of the ''Detective Conan'' series, stated that Ran is one of his favorite female characters.<ref>Monthly B.L.T. magazine interview for the 16th Movie Eleventh Striker (approx April 29, 2012) 
Ｑ. 兰など素敌な女の子たちが登场しているが、『名探侦コナン』という作品の中で特に好きな女の子は谁か？ 
Q. Charming girls like Ran appear (in your work). In the work called Detective Conan, which female character do you especially like? 
⇒やっぱヒロインの兰かな。好きなのは兰、そして特别な女の子が灰原かな。こなん通信社の中で灰原の一言もオレが考えているんだけど、ほぼ灰原はオレの代弁者になっているね。あと兰は勇往迈进というか（新一のことを）待っていてくれるのは嬉しいというか…あと强いしね。ちなみに女の子が强いシーンを描くのって嬉しい。今、世良ちゃんも出ているけど、描くのが楽しい…目の下にクマがあるけど(笑)。 
A. I guess it would have to be the heroine, Ran. I like Ran, and the special girl would be Haibara. I think about Haibara's comments in the Conan News Agency, too; she's become my spokeswoman, hasn't she? Ran is full of courage, and she waits for Shinichi, which makes (Gosho?) happy . . . she's strong, too. By the way, I feel happy drawing scenes where girls are strong. Right now, Sera-chan is appearing, too, and it's fun to draw (her) . . . although, she has bags under her eyes (laughs).</ref>
* She keeps a blissful sea cucumber key-ring on her phone, which she demanded from Shinichi as a penalty for causing her to lose her previous phone. Ran didn't actually expect him to buy it, but he did. This made Ran wonder if Shinichi was already in love with her at that time.
* Ran is one of the few characters who use old-fashioned cellphones, instead of trendy smartphones.
* There is a pun relating to the name "Ran" in the 'Shinichi Kudo Aquarium Case', where Ran told Shinichi that she liked to run because of her name (Ran=past tense of 'run').
* Ran (蘭) literally means “orchid”.

{{nihongo|'''Shinichi Kudo'''|工藤新一|Kudō Shin'ichi}} is the high school detective, narrator and main protagonist of the manga and anime ''[[Detective Conan]]''. While on a date with his childhood friend and romantic interest [[Ran Mouri]], Shinichi encounters [[Gin|two]] [[Vodka|men]] from a [[Black Organization|secret criminal organization]] who force feed him [[APTX 4869|a strange poison]] that causes his body to shrink back to first grade age. Shinichi takes up the alias '''[[Conan Edogawa]]''' and plans to use his immense skill as a detective to make Ran's [[Kogoro Mouri|bumbling private detective father]] famous in hopes that he will find a case involving the secret organization so he can expose its crimes and acquire an antidote that will turn him back into a teenager.

Viz romanized his original name as '''Shin'ichi Kudo'''.

== Background ==
Shinichi is a 16-year old<ref name="f2"/><ref>[[Volume 15#File 141 - Gone.21.3F|Volume 15, File 141, page 12: "Gone!?"]]</ref> (17, according to the anime)<ref name="e3"/> student at [[Setting#Teitan High School|Teitan High School]] who has become famous for helping the [[Law Enforcement#Tokyo Metropolitan Police|Tokyo police]] solve murder mysteries. Shinichi was born to [[Yusaku Kudo]], a mystery writer, and [[Yukiko Kudo]], a former movie star.<ref>[[Volume 5#File 049 - An Unfamiliar Visitor|Volume 5, File 49, page 163: "An Unfamiliar Visitor"]]</ref>

He met Ran when he started in kindergarten and spotted strange things that his father figured out were preparations to kidnap Ran. The kidnapping was foiled, and Ran and Shinichi formed a friendship when Shinichi defended her from the bullies.

The story begins when Shinichi takes his childhood friend [[Ran Mouri]] to a theme park, [[Tropical Land]], to celebrate her victory in a recent karate championship. During the course of their visit, Shinichi ends up solving [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|a murder case]]. He separates from Ran to follow a man in black, [[Vodka]], who was blackmailing a company president. He didn't notice when another man in black, [[Gin]], sneak up behind him and knocks him out with a baseball bat. Gin decides to test an experimental untraceable poison, [[APTX 4869]], on Shinichi to ensure that his death couldn't be traced back to them. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurs: his body shrinks into that of his six-year-old self.<ref name="f2"/>

[[Image:Conan Edogawa Investigating.jpg|thumb|right|165px|Conan Edogawa, the "small" Shinichi]]
=== Conan Edogawa ===
{{main|Conan Edogawa}}
After escaping from well-meaning but skeptical park security, with nowhere else to go Shinichi runs home. He there encounters into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. He convinces Agasa of his identity and head inside [[Setting#Kudo Residence|Shinichi's home]] to discuss the next move. Agasa warns him that he must keep his identity secret because the [[Black Organization]] will kill him and others associated with him should they discover the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>

Ran arrives to find out what happened to Shinichi, which forces him to come up with the alias Conan Edogawa from [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Rampo Edogawa|Rampo '''''Edogawa''''']] and he pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's, who places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2"/> Ran's father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], owns a [[Setting#Mouri Detective Agency|Detective Agency]], which will allow Conan to run into cases involving the Black Organization. He occasionally uses Kogoro, and Agasa, among others as a mouthpiece to solve crimes while searching for how to get his body back.

In the meantime, to protect his identity he is forced to play the part of a first-year Elementary student, enrolling as a student at [[Teitan Elementary School]]. Three of his classmates, [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], befriend him and pull him into creating the ''[[Detective Boys]]'', <ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> after which he tries to keep them out of trouble. Their group is later joined by the creator of APTX 4869, [[Shiho Miyano]], shrunk down and using the alias [[Ai Haibara]].

Although he mostly uses the Conan alias to solve cases, in some (especially emergency) situations, he uses the Voice-Changing Bowtie to call the police using his original, Shinichi's voice and get involved with cases, which allow him to gain the authority that Conan lacks. In the aftermath; however, Shinichi requests his identity not to be revealed to the public, a clear contrast to his earlier attention-seeking behavior before turning to Conan.

== Personality ==
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi is already well-known as a brilliant young detective, the "Savior of the police force", for solving many difficult cases the professionals could not.<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]].</ref> He is extremely intelligent, and even from a young age was very intuitive and observant. Due to the influence of his father and the general laissez-faire environment at home, he has long been an incessant and persistent reader, especially of mystery novels.<ref name="f569">[[Volume 55#File 569 - The Mischievous Boy|Volume 55, Files 569-572: "The Mischievous Boy"]]</ref> His father, Yusaku started taking Shinichi to crime scenes as a child, which inspired him to be a detective.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205, pages 74-78: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref> Due to his bluntness and matter-of-fact manner, Shinichi can come off as rude and arrogant. However, he cares deeply about human life, unable to understand how any reason could be sufficient motive for murder,<ref>[[Volume 26#File 258 - Momentary Rest|Volume 26, File 258, page 71: "Momentary Rest"]]</ref> and is convinced that driving a culprit to suicide is no better than murder itself. <ref>[[Volume 16#File 153 - Bonds of Flame|Volume 16, File 153: "Bonds of Flame"]]</ref> The few times he has been too late to save a life haunt him throughout the series. He also thinks of other people's feelings, and in some cases he has been willing to conceal facts from certains parties in order spare them from being scarred from the ugly truth.

Prior to his transformation, Shinichi enjoyed being in the spotlight and was rather arrogant, reveling in making local headlines and receiving fan-mail. Throughout the series, Shinichi's predicament causes him to gain a sense of humility. Shinichi still keeps his flair for the dramatic (like his mother) that can be seen every time he sets out a deduction in pieces building to a climax.

Despite his popularity with the masses and his schoolmates, Shinichi has very few close friends. He is close to Ran and Agasa, and after deaging, he befriended Heiji, Haibara, and to some extent the other Detective Boys. Another reason for his lack of close friends was because his arrogant personality was a negative turn-off to many of his classmates and even teachers, making it hard to befriend him. Even with his close friends (one being older than him), Shinichi doesn't hesitate to call them "idiot", instead of calmly explaining his reason for doing or not doing something, sometimes causing arguments between him and Ran.

Shinichi also had a tendency, since elementary school, to have an air of being the "distant, cool guy". While he is a truly good and heroic individual, he doesn't make it known to others that obviously, and will make some "deductive reasoning" for why he did such a thing. His insensitive nature is also horrible, which was shown most prominently during the Holmes' Revelation Arc, when Ran started crying because she believed that Shinichi not telling her he was in London meant that he was indifferent to her feelings for him. However, instead of trying to comfort her, Shinichi repeatedly asked her about the [[Yukiko Kudo|strange woman]] she met, and told her to pull herself together.

Shinichi was ready to confess his feelings during the Roller Coaster Murder Case but due to Ran's teasing, he didn't. After turning into Conan and knowing that Ran loved him, whenever he turned back into Shinichi, he would try to confess his feelings for her but the antidote running out would foil his attempts. He was successfully able to convey his feelings in London.

== Appearance ==
Shinichi is a 174 cm<ref name=CD41/> (5'8.5") Japanese teenager with a thin, athletic build. He has pale skin and a dark brown/black hair with a cowlick in front and distinctive tuft in the back. Shinichi bears a striking resemblance to his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]] albeit a less defined jawline and minus his father's mustache or round glasses. Shinichi has blue eyes in the manga (a trait shared by all the characters), and they are blue in the anime as well.

Shinichi is right handed and right footed, but he is good with both feet because of his soccer skills.

Shinichi often appears in his high school uniform, but he also wears a suit and tie or regular clothing depending on the occasion. When Conan turns back into Shinichi by using [[baijiu]] or a [[temporary antidote]], Shinichi will wear whatever appropriately sized clothing he can find at the time. He was also very popular with the girls as he was handsome not to mention a high school detective.

== Skills ==
:''See also: [[Conan Edogawa#Skills|Conan's Skills]]''
=== Intelligence ===
Consistently, Shinichi has proven himself to be a very sharp-witted and calculating individual. While only in high school, his passion mysterious have lead him to be a very well-read and methodical in investigations. His detective skills often earns him comparisons to [[Sherlock Holmes]]. Shinichi has acquired various nicknames because of his prowess, such as the "[[Wikipedia: Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and the "Detective of the East". He has a keen eye for details, and can spot any unusual aspects in a case that most people tend to miss or not take into account. He repeatedly demonstrates an eidetic memory and perfect recall, able to recount every aspect from the situation he has placed himself in. Shinichi's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Shinichi has extraordinarily broad and deep knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases. Few people are able to match wits with him, including [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Kaito Kuroba]], while only his father, [[Yusaku Kudo]], has shown able consistently proven himself to far surpass his son, both solving mysterious well-before Shinichi and even regularly tricking his on for "tests".

=== Language ===
Besides his native language, Shinichi is fluent in English, as seen when he solved a case in London without evidence of any language barrier.<ref>[[Volume 21#File 205 - Midair Sealed Chamber|Volume 21, File 205: "Midair Sealed Chamber"]]</ref><ref name="f743">[[Volume 71#File 743 - Holmes' Apprentice|Volumes 71-72, Files 743-752: "Holmes' Apprentice"]]</ref> Shinichi also knows some German,<ref>[[Genta's Certain Kill Shot]]</ref> and Italian.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> Shinichi seems to understand "Girl Writing", due to the fact that he had solved an e-mail cipher of a 2nd year high school girl quickly.<ref>[[Secret of the Russian Blue]]</ref>

=== Athletic ability ===
[[File:Shinichi playing soccer 4 years ago.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi playing soccer in middle school.]]
Like his intelligence, Shinichi also has an amazing athletic ability. Shinichi is an extremely skilled soccer player, having been professionally scouted while only in middle school, but he chooses to stay at the amateur level. He initially played to hone his reflexes and often juggles a ball to clear his mind, but he is also an enthusiastic fan of the sport in its own right.<ref name="e1"/> In battle, his signature technique is launching various objects with superb precision from his kick at the criminal. Shinichi's kick is accurate over long distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing and snowboarding.

Aside from sports, Shinichi exhibits a knack and impeccable accuracy for handling firearms due to his father taking him to shooting ranges from time to time. During the Clocktower Heist, Shinichi is able to shoot and dislodge the support beam of a giant projection screen with a single shot from a moving helicopter. Additionally, in [[The Fourteenth Target]], Conan shot a bullet at Ran's leg with such precision, that while it rendered her unable to walk to force the criminal to let her go, but afterwards her leg healed cleanly with no lingering signs or damage.

Shinichi is nimble as well as strong. He is capable of considerable acrobatics, jumping great distances and swinging from tree to tree to escape onlookers.<ref>[[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|Shiragami case]]</ref> He has been able to skillfully dodge a kicking assault from an angry Ran, something very few have ever managed.

While never as passionate about it as Ran, Shinichi is also well-trained in karate and judo, having learned from watching and being taught by Ran.<ref>Manga Volume 1, File 1; Anime episode 1 and [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small]].</ref><ref>Manga Volume 1, File 5 ; Anime episode 2.</ref> With his proficiency, as seen in [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|Shiragami Case]], he disarms the culprit trying to commit suicide, and even against the expert judo practitioner Kogoro, in [[Drama Episode 13]], he avoided Kogoro and take him down as he tries to hurt him. He has a strong sense of coordination giving him the abilities of shooting darts like in [[The Detective Boys Get Out of the Rain]], when he throws them to a giant [[Gomera]] puppet so it can fall on the culprit.

=== Music ===
Shinichi cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Shinichi has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody.<ref>[[Volume 15#File 144 - Their Voices Are Alike!?|Volume 15, File 144: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref> Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in [[Full Score of Fear]], when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

== Plot overview ==
Because the main plot revolves around the fact that Shinichi has become 'Conan' and is forced into hiding, Shinichi is rarely in the series as himself. However, Conan is frequently shown calling Ran using his voice-changing bow tie to sound like Shinichi and sending/receiving text messages from her with "Shinichi's" phone. In these instances, it can be said that the character of Shinichi, albeit in the body of Conan, is appearing, since these phone conversations and text messages allow Shinichi to be himself, however briefly. The below instances however, are actual appearances of Shinichi as well as flashbacks from before the series began.

=== Transformation into Conan ===
==== Roller Coaster Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 1|001-002]], Anime: [[Roller Coaster Murder Case|001]]) ====
[[Image:Shinichi appears.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi appears to correct Hattori's deduction]] Shinichi starts as himself in the Roller coaster murder case, but by the end he has been transformed into Conan, thus beginning the series' plot. Since then, Conan has temporarily turned back to Shinichi several times.

=== Transformations back into Shinichi ===
==== Great Detective of the West (Manga: [[Volume 10|092-095]], Anime: [[Diplomat Murder Case|048-049]]) ====
Shinichi's next real appearance after shrinking is when a strange detective from Osaka named [[Heiji Hattori]] arrives at Mouri Detective Agency looking for Shinichi in order to determine which of them is the better detective. A strange combination of having a cold and drinking the [[baijiu]] that Heiji had brought along allows Conan to briefly grow into Shinichi once again.<ref>[[Volume 10#File 092 - The Great Detective Of The West|Volume 10, Files 92-96: "The Great Detective Of The West"]]</ref> However, he develops an immunity to the alcohol and cannot replicate the transformation.

==== The Desperate Revival (Manga: [[Volume 26|254-260]], Anime: [[The Desperate Revival|188-193]]) ====
Conan is able to become Shinichi using an [[Antidote (prototype)]] that [[Ai Haibara]] synthesized. As himself, he tries to surprise Ran by disguising himself as a character in her play, but is interrupted by a murder case and ends up revealing himself to his entire high school. [[Heiji Hattori]] covers for him and Shinichi is able to spend about 48 hours as himself, albeit with a brief collapse about halfway through. He turns back into Conan just as he seems to be about to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 26#File 254 - An Infatuated Heart|Volume 26, Files 254-260: "An Infatuated Heart"]]</ref>

==== The Murderer is Shinichi Kudo (Manga: [[Volume 62|646-651]], Anime: [[Murderer, Shinichi Kudo|521-523]]) ====
Shinichi's next appearance is not until when, while on a case with Heiji, Conan goes missing and 'Shinichi' seems to appear. The 'Shinichi' is actually someone who had gotten plastic surgery to look like Shinichi Kudo, and is actually trying to blame Shinichi for a murder. The real Shinichi hides in the forest until he can clear his name. Shinichi had been temporarily restored by another of Haibara's prototypes, but this time by accident; Agasa mistakenly gave them to Shinichi thinking they were cold medicine.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 646 - Village of Animosity|Volume 62, Files 646-651: "Village of Animosity"]]</ref> After the case is solved Shinichi transforms back to Conan, but luckily, Haibara secretly followed him there and gives him another antidote, saving him from revealing his identity to Kogoro, Ran and Kazuha. While driving home from the case, the group is stopped by another murder which Shinichi and Heiji investigate together, despite increasing pangs that warn of his imminent reversion to Conan. After the case is resolved, Ran tries to stop Shinichi from leaving, saying she has something to tell him. Shinichi stops her, saying "According to my deductions, what you have to say and what I have to say are the same thing." Ran seizes his hand while he is transforming back into Conan, and though Haibara knocks her out with Conan's wristwatch, she refuses to let go of his hand. Haibara and [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] have to cut and re-pin Conan's shirt onto him because Ran is still clutching his hand and he refuses to pull out of her grip.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 652 - The Thing She Really Wants to Ask|Volumes 62-63, Files 652-654: "The Thing She Really Wants to Ask"]]</ref>

==== Holmes' Revelation (Manga: [[Volume 71|743-751]], Anime: [[Holmes' Revelation|616-621]]) ====
Conan, Ran, and Kogoro are invited to England by a rich, elite British woman, Diana Kingstone, after Kogoro finds her cat under the table in Café Poirot. However, since 'Conan Edogawa' doesn't have the proper credentials to fly internationally, Ai gives him a prototype pill so that Shinichi and Agasa can fly low-profile to England on the same plane that Ran and Kogoro are flying. Ai provides a second prototype pill for the return journey, but Conan uses it while Ran was pursuing him in London. During that trip, Shinichi answers Ran's hurt feelings over his behavior with the fact that he cares for her and that he likes her; unfortunately, before she could respond or confess in kind, Shinichi has to vanish and becomes Conan again. Luckily for Conan, Shinichi's parents appear because Ai had expected him to use the second pill, and they provide him with an extra antidote to let Conan return to Japan. <ref name="f743" />

==== Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: [[Volume 94|1000-1005]], Anime: [https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/The_Scarlet_School_Trip 927-928]) ====
Shinichi returns to his real body to take part in the field trip of his school to Kyoto. Shinichi meets an old friend of his mother and through her gets involved in a serial murder case among her and her famous movie friends. After the case was solved, jealousy led Shinichi to ask Ran how she feels about him, since she never formally replied to his confession in London. Ran responds by kissing him on the cheek. Shinichi wants to go in for a full kiss after that, but before they can do it, the antidote wears off and Shinichi has to leave. He later thanks Ran for her reply via text message, making her happy and forget his rushed exit.

Although Shinichi asked the police to keep his involvement in the case secret again, rumours about high school detectives helping in the case spread quickly through the internet, with one poster mentioning seeing Shinichi in Kyoto, which doesn't go unnoticed by [[Hyoue Kuroda]] and [[Kanenori Wakita]]. The rumours then rapidly evolve into another media frenzy around Shinichi's person.

== Relationships analysis ==
Since Shinichi is not featured as prominently as Conan throughout the series, only a few of his relationships with other characters have been substantially explored.

=== Family and friends ===
[[File:Shinichi Ran SPVer. Episode One.png|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi and Ran (Scene from [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode one]].)]]
==== Ran Mouri ====
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
[[Ran Mouri]] is Shinichi's childhood friend and canonical love interest. They have been friends and playmates since kindergarten<ref name="f569"/><ref>[[Volume 11#File 107 - The Two Mysteries|Volume 11, File 107: "The Two Mysteries"]]</ref>, though Shinichi's tendency to drag Ran along into minor trouble caused some censure from [[Eri Kisaki|her mother]]. Shinichi has liked Ran since they were little. It was revealed when he is in the first year of middle school, and turned down any other potential love interests as a result, but she has never realized this.<ref>[[Volume 18#File 175 - Unlock Your Heart!?|Volume 18, File 175, page 92: "Unlock Your Heart!?"]]</ref> Shinichi was similarly oblivious to Ran's regard until Ran confessed to Conan that despite his faults, which she is well aware of, she has liked Shinichi for some time.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 64: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> He is very protective of her, and has been amazed by her various skills and kindness on more than one occasion. Shinichi has since confessed his feelings to Ran in the non-[[canon]] 4th movie 'Captured In Her Eyes' (which Ran mistook as his attempt to get her memories back), and made attempts to say something during temporary cures in the manga and anime, but cases always seem to interfere until the cure runs out. Shinichi since then has finally canonically confessed to Ran in the case in London.<ref>[[Volume 72#File 752 - A Troublesome and Difficult Case|Volume 72, File 752, page 14: "A Troublesome and Difficult Case"]]</ref> Later, Ran kissed Shinichi in the cheek in Kyoto school trip as her answer for his confession in London. Immediately, Shinichi tries to do a full kiss with Ran, only for the antidote's effects to wear off; turning him back into Conan.

[[File:Shinichi Confesses.jpg|thumb|200px|Shinichi Kudo somewhat and somehow confesses his feelings for [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] to her under the Big Ben in London, during the Holmes' Revelation Arc.]]
Shinichi's initial disappearance troubled Ran to the point of insomnia and nearly going to the police. Since then, Shinichi sometimes calls Ran over the telephone and imitates his normal voice with the [[voice-changing bowtie]] so that she doesn't worry about him. He convinces her that he is off solving a very difficult case and will return once the investigation concludes.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 009 - An Unfortunate Misunderstanding|Volume 1, File 9, Page 15: "An Unfortunate Misunderstanding"]]</ref> In reality, he is the brain behind her father's rapid rise to fame as a detective.

Shinichi/Conan is not without sexual fantasies regarding Ran, the most obvious evidence being his nosebleeds or blushing when he sees her in a bathing suit<ref>[[Volume 83#File 873 - Red Devil|Volume 83, File 873, Page 4: "Red Devil"]]</ref>, or when Ran pulled him into an [[wikipedia: onsen|onsen]] with her.<ref>[[Volume 9#File 084 - Kogoro.27s Class Reunion|Volume 9, File 4: "Kogoro's Class Reunion"]]</ref> For her part, Ran often blushes when thinking of Shinichi, especially when Sonoko teases her about their relationship. Her attitude towards Conan is one of more open, sisterly affection, such as giving him hugs or holding his hand. Shinichi has some concerns of bodily harm should Ran realize that not only has he been lying to her, but they've shared a bed and taken a bath together.<ref>[[Volume 14#File 134 - Question In Dead Leave|Volume 14, File 134, pages 60-67: "Question In Dead Leave"]]</ref>

Shinichi and Ran appear to share a close empathic link due to their strong feelings for each other, making each of them feel the other's worry and agitation in times of extreme danger.<ref>Manga Chapters 372-373: Serial Bomber Case</ref>

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
{{main|Kudo family}}
[[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]] Kudo are both aware that [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] is in fact Shinichi. His parents are even more famous than he is, with Yusaku being a famous mystery novelist and Yukiko being a retired actress who remains partially involved in the industry. They currently live in the United States and travel extensively, having left Shinichi in Japan on his own when he was fourteen. Though he sometimes finds his parents' carefree ways to be annoying, he loves them dearly. Yusaku is also a detective with the same keen eye for details, and similarly to Holmes' brother Mycroft, Yusaku always seems to solve a case one step ahead of his son.

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
Although not related by blood, there is a strong family-like bond between Shinichi and [[Hiroshi Agasa]]. Agasa was the first to know about Shinichi's shrunk predicament and was the one to tell him to keep it a secret. Most of the gadgets that Shinichi has were made by Agasa to help Shinichi catch the criminals and solve the cases as Conan. He also knows about Shinichi's romantic relationship with Ran and sometimes teases him about it in front of her (when Shinichi can't do anything about it since he is Conan).

==== Heiji Hattori ====
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats Heiji in their first case. Even though Heiji discovers Shinichi's secret, he decides to keep quiet (though he often slips up and calls him Kudo in front of others). After Heiji realizes the truth, the two have become best friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They have solved many cases together, and Heiji is the person Shinichi turns to for advice or for confirmation regarding a deduction. Heiji has, on several occasions, declared himself to be Shinichi's best friend or brother.

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better (or even equal), and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives.
In canon, Heiji is also seen piggybacking Conan, as Conan has shrunken and cannot run as fast as Hattori.

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====
Sonoko and Shinichi have known each other since childhood. Sonoko finds Shinichi's obsession with mysteries annoying and considers him to be an arrogant showoff.{{citation needed}} That being said, she acknowledges his knowledge and intelligence. Sonoko enjoys teasing him about his relationship with Ran, calling them husband and wife or boyfriend / girlfriend. Shinichi finds her attempts at attracting boys to be rather irritating. Sonoko is one of the few people who calls Shinichi by his first name without kun. Shinichi also calls Sonoko by her first name without including any honorific.

=== Detective Boys ===
So far, Shinichi did not canonically meet the detective boys before becoming Conan. In the non-canonical animated special, [[Magic File 2: The Case of the Mysterious Wall and the Black Lab|OVA Magic File 2]], four years prior to him becoming Conan, a thirteen-year-old Shinichi came across the Detective Boys, [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], while they were still three years old. He needed their help in confirming a client's alibi. Also, in the first live action drama and the first episode of the anime<ref>The anime was altered to introduce the Detective Boys early. In the manga they met after Shinichi became Conan.</ref>, the Detective Boys are seen sneaking into Tropical Land for treasure. Ran then says, pointing to the children, "It was like that last time, huh?" to Shinichi.

==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}
Both are de-aged by APTX4869 and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes [[Ai Haibara]] and Conan close confidants and more empathetic with each other than most other characters. They share an interesting relationship. They believe and rely on each other. She certainly has no qualms about teasing him, and is more than willing to poke a hole in his ego. While Conan initially was disgusted by Ai's ties to the Black Organization, especially with how she introduced herself, seeing her remorse and pain has improved his opinion of her. He is repeatedly protective of her and tries to give her hope when her fear of the men in black is overwhelming.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Juzo Megure ====
[[Juzo Megure|Inspector Megure]] has worked together with Shinichi to solve many cases. During Shinichi's [[The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case|first case on the plane]], Megure mentions that he has not seen him since he was in his 6th year of Elementary school. Megure seemed irritated that Shinichi was poking his nose into a murder case. Since then, because Shinichi has proven himself solving cases one after the other, Megure has grown to respect Shinichi and his deductive abilities, thanking him for his assistance.

=== Others ===
==== Kaitou Kid ====
Despite the fact [[Toichi Kuroba|Toichi]] and Shinichi only met once prior to Toichi's death, it's worth mentioning that Toichi referred to Shinichi as his "older brother" and himself as the "younger brother". This is because Yusaku created and thus was the '''father''' of the moniker [[Kaitou Kid|Kaitou '''Kid''']], Toichi's secret identity. Toichi's son and successor, [[Kaito Kuroba|Kaito]], has also only crossed paths with Shinichi as Shinichi once, during the [[The Gathering of the Detectives! Kudo Shinichi vs. Kaitou Kid|Clocktower heist]]. Kaito thought Shinichi made the heist harder (and thus less boring) in [[Saguru Hakuba]]'s absence, and Shinichi found Kid's intention of 'stealing' the Clocktower in order to save it from demolition to be fairly admirable. Notably, neither of them saw the other's face.

In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi had become Conan, Kid disguised himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki Black Star pearl. When Conan cornered him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid suggested that he'd stolen all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ended up being a bluff, Conan was shocked and infuriated. In subsequent encounters between Kid and Conan, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid. In several instances he appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence; knowing Kid is close by often causes Conan to behave far more frenetically. However, in several instances, beginning with the "Big Adventure in the Eccentric Residence" case, when Kid does Conan/Shinichi a favor, such as saving Genta's life in the aforementioned case, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape unhindered.

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity and none have betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], Conan's parents, [[Heiji Hattori]] and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] also knows, but she has kept it a secret from the rest of the Organization to protect Shinichi because he had [[Vermouth timeline#Golden Apple Case .28Manga: 350-354.2C Anime: 286-288.29|saved her life in New York]]. [[Eisuke Hondou]], the younger brother of C.I.A. agent [[Hidemi Hondou]], also knows and keeps Conan's secret. [[Kaitou Kid]] was first aware of Conan's identity in the movies, showing up as Shinichi in the third movie to protect Conan's identity, making it non-canon. Canonically however, File 1018 implies that Kaito is aware of Conan's secret, as he addresses Conan and Heiji as "the high-school detectives". [[Ran]] gets suspicious on occasion, but so far Conan has managed to trick her into thinking Conan and Shinichi are two different people. Also, [[Subaru Okiya]] has seen Conan use Shinichi's voice with his bowtie voice modifier. Since Subaru Okiya is actually [[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise, this means that Akai knows about it as well.

== Character popularity ==

== Name origin ==
Shinichi's given name is a pun on "one truth". The "ichi" (一) means "one" and "shin" can be read as truth (真), however the kanji actually used for "shin" (新) in Shinichi's name means "new".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C|title=WWWJDIC: Word Search|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref> Shinichi's family name "Kudo" comes from the fictional detective Shunsaku Kudo created by Nobumitsu Kodaka.<ref>{{cite book|last=Aoyama|first=Gosho|title=Detective Conan|volume=18|publisher=Shogakukan|date=1998-01-17|isbn=4-09-125048-3|chapter=|page=Back cover flap|language=Japanese|location=Tokyo}}</ref> The ON-readings of the kanji for "Kudo" mean "craft" or "construction" (工) and "wisteria" (藤).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1B|title=WWWJDIC: Kanji Selection|date=2011|publisher=Jim Breen|accessdate=2011-09-04}}</ref>
"Shinichi" may also have come from "Shinichi Suzuki", a famous violinist. Shinichi Kudo plays violin.<ref>File 936: Ran mentions that Shinchi plays the violin very well but also mentions his tone-deafness.</ref>

== Character inspiration ==
Shinichi's design was based off of Conan's. Gosho said Shinichi's hairstyle was designed in about one minute. He smoothed [[Yaiba]]'s hair and added a tuft modeled after the apostrophe hairstyle of Kabu from [[Wikipedia: Sally the Witch|Sally the Witch]]. The tuft on hair on the top of Shinichi's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia: Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Shinichi's speech habits were meant to be slightly rough like Joe from [[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]] and [[Wikipedia: Touch (manga)|Touch]].<ref>File 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Shinichi has been mentioned and parodied in many other anime series. See [[Detective Conan#Appearances in other media|this wiki page]] for more information.
* He was used as a character to promote people to follow the law in Japan, due to the popularity of the series.
* Shinichi seems to have plane narcolepsy, as mentioned in [[The Sealed Chamber in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case|episode 162]] and [[Volume 21|file 204]]. This shows up when he is Conan as well.
* The name 'Shinichi' appears to be inspired by the word for 'truth' (真実 ''shinjitsu'') and the word for 'one' (一 ''ichi''). Roughly translating to mean "one truth" much like his/Conan's famous catchphrase.
* The name 'Kudō' is a transliteration of the word 'code'.

'''{{nihongo|Conan Edogawa|江戸川コナン|Edogawa Konan}}''' is the alias used by [[Shinichi Kudo]] in his shrunken form. Shinichi took the appearance of his six or seven year old self after being exposed to a prototype poison called [[APTX 4869]], which he had been forced to swallow by two men in black later revealed to be members of the [[Black Organization]].<ref name="e1">[[Roller Coaster Murder Case|Episode 1: Roller Coaster Murder Case]]</ref> The poison de-aged Shinichi's entire body except for his nervous system and therefore he still has the personality, memories, and incredible deductive ability of his teenage self. Conan's goal is to hunt down the Black Organization and have them arrested for their crimes, as well as find an antidote to the APTX 4869. To do so he plans to make the washout detective [[Kogoro Mouri]] famous in hopes of attracting cases related to the Black Organization.

Conan is often treated as a separate character from Shinichi by fans, and often viewed as the main character of the series while Shinichi is viewed as a recurring character. He has become a popular figure in Japan and even appeared at numerous occasions in different anime series (i.e. mainly cameo appearances) as well as other medias.

== Background ==
''Conan Edogawa'' is [[Shinichi Kudo]]'s alter ego. He did not exist prior to the chain of events, involving members of the [[Black Organization]], that led Shinichi to transform back into a child.

[[File:APTX 4869 given to Shinichi.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi being drugged.]]
=== The Transformation ===
At the beginning of the series, Shinichi brings his friend [[Ran Mouri]] to [[Setting#Tropical_Land|Tropical Land]], a local theme park, to celebrate her victory in the Metropolitan Karate Championships. He later ends up solving a murder case there.<ref name="e1" /> As they are leaving, Shinichi witnesses a suspicious exchange between an unknown business man and [[Vodka|a man in black]] in a secluded area by the ferris wheel. While spying on the suspicious men, Shinichi does not notice [[Gin|another man in black]], who knocks him out from behind and forces him to swallow a new experimental poison known as [[APTX 4869]]. They then leave him to die. However, instead of killing Shinichi, a rare side-effect occurred. Shinichi's body shrunk back to that of his six-year-old self.<ref>[[Volume 1#File 002 - The Great Detective Turned Small|Volume 1, File 2, page 59: "The Great Detective Turned Small"]]</ref> In desperation and confusion, Shinichi heads back to his house and runs into his next door neighbor and close family friend, [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]]. After a few attempts at proving he's in fact Shinichi, he finally succeeds in convincing the Professor. The latter warns him he must keep his identity secret as the [[Black Organization]] will surely try to kill him and others associated with him should they learn the truth.<ref name="e2">[[Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case|Episode 2: Company President's Daughter Kidnapping Case]].</ref>
{{clearleft}}
[[File:Agasa shinichi.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Shinichi as conan in his shrunken form with Hiroshi Agasa first time met and Profressor Agasa will go to
Report to the police about this kid]]
=== Taking a new identity ===
Shinichi comes up with the alias Conan Edogawa using the mystery author names [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Arthur '''''Conan''''' Doyle]] and [[Edogawa Rampo|'''''Edogawa''''' Rampo]] and pretends to be a distant relative of Agasa's who then places Conan in Ran's care.<ref name="e2" /> Ran's father, [[Kogoro Mouri]], owns a Detective Agency which may provide a chance for Conan to run into a case involving the Black Organization. However, Kogoro is a terrible detective with little credibility. Using helpful gadgets that Agasa makes, Conan sets out to improve Kogoro's detective reputation by solving cases for him while also hiding the truth that Conan is really the one solving cases. By knocking Kogoro out at crime scenes with a fast-acting [[Stun-Gun Wristwatch|tranquilizer]] and using a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice modulator]] to relay deductions in Kogoro's voice, Conan creates 'Sleeping Kogoro'. The conceited Kogoro enjoys his newfound reputation and the money it brings in so much that he doesn't question why he is suddenly passing out at crime scenes and solving cases in his sleep.

=== Creation of the Detective Boys ===
Conan enrolls at [[Teitan Elementary School]] to further protect his identity and is befriended by classmates [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]], [[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]], and [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], who create the ''[[Detective Boys]]'' not long after.<ref>[[The Coded Map of the City Case|Episode 4: The Coded Map of the City Case]]</ref> In the beginning he found the kids annoying, but he started to warm up to them and even gives them missions to accomplish.

[[Image:Conan Stuns Kogoro.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan stuns Kogoro with his wristwatch, ready to solve a case!]]

=== Solving cases ===
As Conan, Shinichi helps Ran's father solve cases by putting him to sleep and simulating Kogoro's voice using the special bowtie gadget Professor Agasa made for him. He also spends a good amount of time with his Detective Boys fellows and solves many small cases with them and sometimes in the company of Professor Agasa. In some situations, when there's only Ran, Sonoko, and himself, he will use Sonoko instead to solve the case at hand. Because of that, Sonoko eventually becomes another moderately well-known "sleeping" detective, although her reputation is only known to the local police investigation team and Sonoko's friends. In much later files, Conan has solved the case as himself then claimed afterwards that Shinichi told him what to say.

=== Encounter Black Organization ===
Soon after being shrunk, Conan sets the plan to pursue and arrest the Black Organization members. Initial attempts were in vain until Haibara appears and starts giving clues on their whereabouts. However, in some of his early attempts, Conan tends to underestimate the ability of the Organization, leading to situations where he or his close friends being harmed and almost killed. Once understood the Organization and having allies to help, among them Shuichi Akai, who had been undercover in the organization and knows their ways, his later plans are more successful to foil Black Organization's plans, although he hasn't been able to expose the Black Organization and arrest their members yet.
{{clear}}

== Personality ==
As Conan, Shinichi tries to behave like a child. He refers to Ran as "Ran-neechan" (''nee-chan'' meaning older sister, a common nickname Japanese children give to teenagers and young adults they look up to), and refers to Shinichi as "Shinichi-niichan" (''nii-chan'' meaning older brother). He also refers to Kogoro as "Oji-san" or "Occhan" (both meaning Uncle), although he also does this as Shinichi. As Shinichi, he refers to Conan as usually "Conan-kun" or the "Kid in the Glasses". Shinichi treats Conan as a separate person completely, thinking for example, "changing back into Conan".

[[File:Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi.]]
[[File:Ran conan do not tell.PNG|thumb|right|200px|Ran telling Conan she likes Shinichi (Picture from the "[[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode one]]" version).]]
Conan remains very close to Ran, who in return is very protective of him. However, because Ran is unaware of his true identity, Conan often finds himself in awkward situations with her, such as when she confessed her feeling for Shinichi to him and when she made him bathe with her at a hot spring.

Conan's intelligence remains intact even though he has shrunken into a child. As Shinichi, his deductive ability earned him the monikers "[[Wikipedia: Heisei|Heisei]] Holmes" and "Savior of the Japanese police force". Conan maintains an extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases and escape tricky situations. Conan tries to speak in a child-like manner when dealing with adults, but he often gets caught up in the current case and begins speaking like an adult, referring to advanced topics and using reasoning much too complex for a normal child. When this happens, he often tries to pass it off as "something [he] heard on TV" or "taught by uncle Kogoro/professor Agasa/Shinichi-niichan".
Likewise, he makes no effort to hide his love for [[Sherlock Holmes]] and soccer, so if he called out for talking about either subject in too much detail, he tries to escape suspicion by saying it was something Shinichi told him about. Although as the series has progressed the adults around him have
become more used to his "being quite smart for a child", causing him to behave more like himself around them, he still tries to pass as a normal child.
[[File:Conan, Tome, and Chiba.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan whispers to [[Kazunobu Chiba]] and [[Officer Tome|Tome]].]]
The only police officers with whom Conan can speak in a professional manner are the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]], especially [[Jodie Starling]], [[Shuichi Akai]], [[James Black]], and Inspector [[Kansuke Yamato]] of the Nagano Police, all of whom suspect that there is more to Conan than meets the eye.

Conan tends to act more like himself around the [[Detective Boys]], even to the point that they find it odd when he acts like a child around adults. He will often play games like baseball with the Detective Boys, but he is too used to soccer to perform well and will even instinctively use soccer techniques, such as kicking in games that do not call for it. Because he is unfamiliar with popular games and TV shows, and bad at video games, Genta and the others tend to think of him as dumb. This annoys Conan so much that he will secretly watch TV in the living room after Kogoro and Ran go to sleep to get more "practice" in.

While he thinks that criminals should be punished, he also seem willing to give culprits, who has attempted murder due to misunderstandings and fail, a second chance and let them off the hook.

After he had one time failed to stop the culprit from committing suicide, he began to believe that a detective who has cornered a killer and just let him kill himself is no better than a murderer, and therefore he tries to do everything to stop it. At times when he fails to save the killer it haunts him.

== Appearance ==
[[File:Conan full face.png|right|200px|]]
Conan has dark brown hair which mostly hangs downwards just above his blue eyes, but there are also a few strands that stick up at the front and back of his head. Conan's usual outfit consists of a blue blazer with a single button and a pair of shorts, red trainers and white socks, even though he has taken to wearing more casual clothing as time goes on. He also wears a red bowtie and his dad's old glasses. Both these items were later [[Gadgets|specifically modified]] by Professor Agasa to include a [[Voice-Changing Bowtie|voice changer]], [[Button Speaker|microphone]], and [[Criminal Tracking Glasses|homing device]], to aid in Conan in his cases. His [[Power-Enhancing Kick Shoes|red shoes]] have also been modified to harness electric and magnetic fields to stimulate pressure points on Conan's foot, greatly enhancing his kicking power.

Additionally, much like Hattori and Shinichi, Conan is incredibly popular. Ayumi and Haibara both have crushes on him, he has been hit on by girls around his shrunken age repeatedly, and even Jodie and Vermouth have both been charmed by his charisma. One even promised to make him her husband. Additionally, in the Red, White, Yellow case, Conan was specifically referred to and asked for help by a fellow classmate.

== Skills ==
:''See also: [[Shinichi Kudo#Skills|Shinichi's Skills]]''
=== Detective skills ===
[[File:Glasses Modification(Microphone).PNG|210px|thumb|right|
Conan eavesdrop Police investigation meeting in [[Zero the Enforcer|Conan the movie 22]] to save Kogoro mouri from being a suspect.]]
All of Shinichi's detective skills carry over to his Conan form, although Conan does not the have the reputation Shinichi had. He repeatedly demonstrates the ability to remember every detail of an investigation or other topics he cares about, and may have a photographic memory to manage such perfect recall so consistently. Conan's fastidious attention to detail allows him to notice minor inconsistencies in crime scenes and suspect testimony that other people miss, and using astute logic he uncovers the reasons behind those inconsistencies in order to link them to the crime. Conan has extraordinarily broad knowledge of many subjects and trivia that help him solve cases; something he likely acquired from his incessant reading in his "first childhood". There are only few people like [[Heiji]], [[Hakuba]] and [[Yusaku]] who are at the same detective level as Conan, with Yusaku be the only person who is noticeably better than Conan.

As a child, Conan can attract less suspicion while investigating crime scenes, get away with searching people's personal property, and ask innocent questions without setting suspects on guard, although it comes with the drawback of not having Shinichi's authority or reputation. He is also shown able to read lips.<ref>[[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]]</ref>

=== Athletic ability ===
Conan is just as skilled as Shinichi in soccer, but a lot less powerful because he only has the strength of a young child. To make up for this, Conan uses Agasa's Power-enhancing kick shoes. Conan uses signature, powerful precision kick to knock out criminals using soccer balls or whatever substitute is handy. Like Shinichi, Conan's kick is accurate over distances and he is capable of mentally reckoning the angle of impact necessary to rebound a soccer ball off a wall and strike an attacker from behind. He is also good at skiing, snowboarding, and ice-skating.

Conan also has some skill with firearms despite the recoil being much more severe for a child's body. He shoots out a bus window during a bus hijacking, and precisely grazes Ran's leg to render her useless as a hostage in the second movie.

Conan's nimbleness is especially noticeable in the non-[[canon]] movies. For example, in the sixth movie, Conan is seen to fight with various antagonists, and he even holds his own against Jack the Ripper, a notorious serial killer who bests even Ran in combat. In the fourteenth movie, Conan does a back flip on his skateboard in order to avoid being killed by the blimp's hijackers. Conan shows a proclivity for skateboarding. In the movies and anime, Conan can easily perform very complicated tricks and dodges with his skateboard at high speed.

=== First aid ===
Conan has repeatedly dispensed first aid to stabbed/shot/cardiac/poisoned/hurt victims before the rescuers arrive.

=== Stamina ===

=== Music ===
[[File:Conan singing.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Conan sings in the Karaoke.]]
Conan cannot sing on key in the slightest so he is often accused of being [[Wikipedia:tone deaf|tone deaf]]. Despite being a hilariously awful singer, Conan has [[Wikipedia:perfect pitch|perfect pitch]] and can identify notes accurately even in difficult contexts like the sound of phone button presses forming a melody. In Episode 11: The Moonlight Sonata Murder Case, he knows that the piano is in tune and deciphers a message at the end just by listening to the notes that are played. Haibara directly described Shinichi Kudo as having perfect pitch in the last scenes of the twelfth Detective Conan movie, [[Full Score of Fear]]. He also manages to replicate and sing dial tones for a phone, showing that the reason he can't sing is because he simply doesn't have ''relative'' pitch. In File 728 (Episode 614), Conan stated he isn't very knowledgeable about music but identified the untuned piano key whereupon Haibara joked about his sharp ears despite being tone-deaf.

Also, to be like his favorite detective, Sherlock Holmes, he plays the violin. This was confirmed in movie 12 of the 'Full Score of Fear' when he played "Amazing Grace" for Ran. However, he is stumped on what Ran meant when she said, "He has a funny habit when he plays."

=== Bomb defusion ===
Conan can defuse a bomb effortlessly without external instruction. This has been demonstrated once in canon, and multiple times in movies.

=== Criminal psychology ===
Conan shows a keen understanding for criminal psychology, occasionally being able to sense if someone is the true criminal. He can also predict movement and plan of the criminals, and in some cases, he used this skill to "bluff". By deliberately giving wrong deduction, he managed to make the criminal reveal the key evidence of the case, confess, abandon suicide's attempt, or lead them to the wrong ends (if they are chasing Conan).

In non canon, it was shown that if the criminal doesn't conform to the general intellectual pattern, Conan will have trouble deducing their crime, even if it is so obvious that the Detective Boys can deduce perfectly.

[[File:Conan First met Kaito Kid.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan introduces himself to Kaito Kid when they first met. "Conan Edogawa, a detective!" in [[Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small|Episode One]].]]

=== Computer skills ===
Conan has some programming skills, for being able to create Mouri Detective Agency's website. He doesn't have the knowledge of hacking, at least he is not able to crack Black Organization's encrypted data.

=== Kaitou Kid radar ===
Conan occasionally seems to be able to sense if [[Kaitou Kid]] is present at a crime scene.<ref>Black Star</ref><ref>Luna Memoria File 964 page 10</ref> Unlike [[Shiho Miyano#"Black Organization sense"|Haibara's "Black Organization smell" sense]], Conan's Kid detector isn't very reliable.

== Appellations ==
Although most people will call Conan by his name suffixed with ''-kun'', or simply ''kid'', a lot of the characters have different ways of calling him due to the special relationships they share. The following is a list of the different appellations for Conan (and the ones Conan gives in return) encountered in the series.

== Plot overview ==
=== Initial pursuit ===
After Shinichi becomes Conan, he sets out to find the men in black almost immediately. At the suggestion of Agasa, he moves in with Ran and Kogoro, hoping that cases related to them come by. Pretty soon, a case involving a woman name [[Akemi Miyano]] (using the alias Masami Hirota) appears. Akemi robs a bank for the men in black in the hopes that they will free her sister from their organization. Conan is unable to realize the case's connection to the organization until after the men in black have shot Akemi and left her for dead rather than give up such a valuable asset as her sister. In her dying moments, Akemi warns Conan of the danger of the organization.<ref>[[Volume 2#File 013 - The Missing Man|Volume 2, Files 13-16: "The Missing Man"]]</ref>

Conan runs across the men in black again on a bullet train, this time learning their codenames: [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]].

At a game convention, Conan meets a third man in black named [[Tequila]], only to have him die in an explosion meant for someone else. Conan learns about a meeting place from the murderer, but just before he reaches the bar an explosion set by the men in black destroys the place entirely, leaving Conan without any leads.

=== Introduction of Ai Haibara===
Later on, Conan meets child-size biochemist [[Ai Haibara]], the creator of [[APTX 4869]]. Ai grew up within the Black Organization as [[Shiho Miyano]] and is a former member of it along with her deceased sister, Akemi.<ref name="f178">[[Volume_18#File 178 - Code Name Sherry|Volume 18, File 178: "Code Name Sherry"]]</ref> After Akemi died, Shiho refused to keep working and took APTX 4869 to die before the Black Organization could execute her. Instead, she shrinks like Conan did and is adopted by Agasa so she and Conan can work together to find a cure and catch the men in black.

=== Meeting with the Black Organization ===
In [[Reunion with the Black Organization]] Conan and Haibara crossed paths with them at an hotel party while they were trying to prevent someone from dying at the hands of the organization. While there Haibara is kidnapped by one of the members of the organization [[Pisco]]. Conan manages to save Haibara and also learn about [[Anokata]]

=== After Vermouth ===

=== The Phone Number of 'That Person' ===
After Conan solves a [[The Dissonance of the Stradivarius#Postlude|case]] of serial murders, the [[Kyosuke Haga#Friends and acquaintances|culprit]] tells Conan that the tune created by dialing the phone number for the Leader of the Black Organization is the song "[[Seven Children]]".

=== Returning Back to Shinichi ===
Throughout the series Conan has returned back to Shinichi several times, but never permanently.
==== East versus West Detective ====
First he temporary returns to normal after drinking alcohol while infected with a cold.<ref>[[Diplomat Murder Case|Episodes 48-49: Diplomat Murder Case]].</ref>
He quickly turns back into Conan after solving the case and develops an immunity to the alcohol.

==== Desperate revival ====
{{Main|Antidote (Prototype)}}
Haibara invented an [[Antidote (prototype)|antidote]] prototype for the APTX 4869, and Conan first uses it in [[Volume 26]] to conceal his identity and allay Ran's suspicions that he is Shinichi. Haibara disguises as Conan and appears in front of Ran with Shinichi in order to put Ran's fears to rest.<ref>[[The Desperate Revival|Episodes 191-193: The Desperate Revival]].</ref><ref>[[Volume 26#File 256 - Concealed Truth|Volume 26, Files 256-258: "Concealed Truth"]]</ref>

==== Shiragami case ====
The antidote prototype is again taken, this time accidentally in place of cough syrup. It wears off 24 hours later, with Haibara giving him another one to protect his identity. This time it wears off in a shortened 4 hours, once again interrupting his chance to confess his feelings to Ran.<ref>[[Volume 62#File 647 - The Lost Memory|Volumes 62-63, Files 647-654: "The Lost Memory"]]</ref>

==== London Arc ====
During the Holmes' Revelation arc in London, Conan takes an antidote so he can go overseas, because "Conan Edogawa" does not exist in real life, and has no passport. Ran quickly deduces that Shinichi is in London as well. She asks some Londoners about a Japanese boy, and they give her directions, without specifying it was actually a six-year-old they saw. In a phone booth, Conan takes the pill originally meant for his return trip to Tokyo in order to conceal his identity from Ran. During this time, he manages to confess his feelings to her. Luckily for Conan, Haibara asks Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo, his parents, to go to London and give him a third pill, as she guessed he would have used his spare one for Ran.<ref>[[Holmes' Revelation|Episode 616-621]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 71#Following Holmes|Volume 71, Files 743-751]]</ref><ref>[[Volume 72#Following Holmes|Volume 72, File 752]]</ref>

== Relationships analysis ==
=== Family and friends ===
==== Ran Mouri ====
[[File:Ran and Conan.jpg|thumb|200px|Ran holding Conan.]]
{{main|Shinichi Kudo and Ran Mouri}}
Although they are romantic interests as Shinichi and Ran, Conan and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share a brother/sister kind of relationship. Ran plays a nurturing protective role and treats Conan like a child version of Shinichi. They do a lot of activities together, such as swimming, going to the movies or festivals, and more. Ran and Conan both look out for each other's well-being. Ran stands up for Conan during Kogoro's outbursts and destroys any criminals seeking to inflict harm on Conan with her karate. Conan lends an ear and advice when Ran is in an difficult situation or needs to vent, and he comforts and encourages her when she is feeling down, especially about Shinichi being away for so long. It is even likely that Ran subconsciously knows that Conan actually ''is'' Shinichi, even though she seems reluctant to follow that notion.<ref>Ran told Conan that if only he is Shinichi on Episode 308.</ref>
{{clearright}}

==== Kogoro Mouri ====
[[File:Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.jpg|thumb|200px|Kogoro noticing Conan in the car.]]
[[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] and Conan most often see each other as nuisances. Conan dislikes Kogoro's usually poor detective ability and case handling, slovenly personal habits, and overinflated ego. Kogoro's deduction doesn't seem to improve so Conan almost always needs to knock Kogoro out when he starts spouting off incorrect theories. Although in most cases Conan merely sees Kogoro as a drunk idiot, he often is impressed when Kogoro gets serious and actually gets the case right, so he will allow the "non-sleeping Kogoro" to take the spotlight. Kogoro views Conan as a freeloader who constantly gets underfoot and never fails to insinuate himself at cases, "interfere" with the scene, and pipe up with childish observations that consistently ruin Kogoro's deductions. Sometimes, Kogoro will also grab Conan by the jacket, leave him outside, or knock him on the head if he is too nosy when involved in a case. However, their relationship is actually intimate and Kogoro takes care of Conan just like a member of the house. At times when Conan is in danger or his life is in peril, Kogoro is seen to be visibly distressed, focused only on getting Conan back. In one episode where Conan was kidnapped, put into a car, and the car was in the process of being crushed, Kogoro was even in tears at Conan's apparent death but then rejoiced tearfully when he was shown to be unharmed.
Conan in return does everything in his power to protect Kogoro from getting into troubles with the Black Organization, saving his life multiple times whenever Kogoro unknowingly gets involved with them.
They are usually seen going to cases together (probably because Conan sneaks along with Kogoro, inserts himself into the case, or simply annoys Kogoro enough to bring him) and sometimes they'll follow Ran whenever they think she might be off to see a boy or "that detective brat" as Kogoro refers to Shinichi.
{{clearright}}

==== Yusaku and Yukiko Kudo ====
[[File:783-2.jpg|thumb|200px|Yukiko nearly calls Conan "Shinichi" in public]]
Conan's parents, [[Yusaku Kudo|Yusaku]] and [[Yukiko Kudo|Yukiko]], like to push their child towards becoming an even better detective. They enjoy giving him challenges, typically without letting Conan know who's giving them; once they disguised as Black Organization operatives trying to kill Shinichi Kudo in order to show Conan how dangerous his goals are. However after seeing that their son is determent to dive into the matter, they decide to follow his wish, and even helps him out with disguises and plans.

Yukiko loves to meddle in Conan's (and Shinichi's) love life, as she will often make allusions regarding Ran being her possible future daughter-in-law and Ai or Ayumi having feelings for Conan. He doesn't usually pay much attention to them. Once she told Conan that Ai has romantic feelings for him because she looked at him ten times in a short span of time, saying that the only time a girl would do that is if she likes the boy or the boy has something on his face. Conan simply pushes it off as Ai checking on her "lab mouse," but at night, in bed, Conan asks Ai if he has something on his face.

Yukiko helped him out once to keep his secret identity from being exposed to Ran by creating an alibi for him. Yukiko once nearly called Conan "Shinichi" in public but Conan was able to cover it by creating a distraction.
{{clearright}}

==== Hiroshi Agasa ====
[[image:Agasa and Conan investigating.png|thumb|right|200px|Conan investigates with Agasa.]]
Conan treats [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]] as a member of his own family, like an uncle. Due to the fact that they both share the secret behind Shinichi's transformation and knowledge about the Black Organization, Conan often comes to him when in trouble or seeking for help. Agasa's willingness to help whenever possible makes Shinichi's life as Conan more convenient. He was the one who created most of Conan's gadgets, including his power shoes and tracking glasses. He willingly plays Conan's case solving mouthpiece when Conan lacks someone else convenient to use. When Conan needs something, such as information regarding past cases, he usually asks Agasa to get it. Agasa often acts as a chauffeur because he is trustworthy and the only adult with a car regularly available.

Agasa often worries about Shinichi, especially when he thinks Shinichi might be getting over his head. Agasa almost always responds positively to Shinichi's requests, but doesn't like it when Shinichi hides the reasons for it, especially if it is dangerous.
{{clearright}}

==== "Shinichi Kudo" ====
They never meet each other for obvious reasons: Conan is Shinichi's secret identity. However, since Conan tries to act as a child, he often thinks Shinichi as a separate character (in one episode, when Ran claims to go to a date with Shinichi, Conan bids goodbye, oblivious for a while that he is actually Shinichi). Judging from his completely made up speech, Conan talks to Shinichi frequently by phone and learns a lot of skills and knowledge from him, and Conan really admires and loves Shinichi. In turn, Shinichi is willing to satiate Conan's curiosity, but at one point he gets really annoyed for Conan's inquisitiveness.

==== Heiji Hattori ====
[[Image:Heiji teasing Conan.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Heiji enjoys teasing Conan.]]
When they first meet, Conan and [[Heiji Hattori|Heiji]] seem bound to become lifelong rivals, especially after Kudo beats Heiji in their first case. However, after discovering Conan's real identity, Heiji starts to act like an older brother towards him, much to the annoyance of Conan. Since then, the two have become closest friends, and consult one another on cases, developments concerning the Black Organization, and even their "girlfriends". They tend to stick together on cases, although sometimes this is because Heiji forces the less enthusiastic Conan to come along. While fond of Heiji as a fellow detective he can relate to, Conan finds Heiji's antics occasionally annoying. Much to Conan's chagrin, Heiji even convinces others that Conan is his disciple. Conan especially dislikes Heiji's dangerous habit of unthinkingly calling Conan 'Kudo' when others are present.

Heiji still maintains some of his original feelings of rivalry, and gets annoyed if anyone claims Shinichi is better , and will often go to great lengths to show that the "west" (Osaka) is better than the "east" (Tokyo). Shinichi usually starts off acting like he is disinterested in the frivolous competition, but may then become competitive himself if Heiji starts "winning" or someone bruises his ego. Others, like Ran and Kazuha, see them both as equally skilled detectives.
{{clearright}}

==== Sonoko Suzuki ====

==== Masumi Sera ====
Masumi Sera is like a older sister figure to Conan. She knows that Conan is actually Shinichi Kudo. She is a mystery but is revealed to be the sister of Shuichi Akai and Shukichi Haneda. Conan takes Sera to be like a fellow detective, similar to how he treats Heiji and Suguru. Sera in return, is very protective of him and also seems to have a crush on him, calling him a "wizard"; because when they first met 10 years ago, Shinichi/Conan was able to make her brother Shuichi laugh when she couldn't.

==== Eisuke Hondou ====
Eisuke discovered that Conan is the real Sleeping Kogoro before they even first met. Conan found him suspicious due to his resemblance of Rena Mizunashi. Eisuke was quick to notice that Conan's behavior towards Ran was similar to that of a protective boyfriend and decided to monitor him. Eventually, Conan found that he is the younger brother of Rena who is a member of CIA infiltrating the organization, the relationship between the two seems to have improved somehow after Conan reveals his identity to Eisuke without hesitating refusing his offer to take Ran with him in America. At that moment, Eisuke confesses to Conan in an amicable way that he was aware from the beginning that he was sleeping Kogoro and Shinichi Kudo. He asked Conan to take care of Ran and the two leave on good terms.

==== Shukichi Haneda ====
Shukichi seems to have noticed Conan's intelligence and trusted his deductions the first time they met. Shinichi has met Shukichi in the past as a child, so it's possible that Shukichi might recognize him as Conan because of his memorization skills, and also due to Shukichi calling Conan a Wizard, the same nickname that Masumi attributed to Shinichi when they met 10 years ago.

=== Detective Boys ===
[[File:Conan and Ai.jpg|thumb|200px|Conan and Haibara investigating]]
[[File:conan scary face.png|thumb|left|200px|Conan's scary face when he's intending to know Haibara's secret song]]
==== Ai Haibara ====
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ai Haibara}}
Both are de-aged by APTX4869 and have almost equal levels of intelligence, which makes [[Ai Haibara]] and Conan close confidants and more empathetic with each other than most other characters. They share an interesting relationship. They believe and rely on each other. She certainly has no qualms about teasing him, and is more than willing to poke a hole in his ego. While Conan initially was disgusted by Ai's ties to the Black Organization, especially with how she introduced herself, seeing her remorse and pain has improved his opinion of her. He is repeatedly protective of her and tries to give her hope when her fear of the men in black is overwhelming.
{{clearright}}

==== Ayumi Yoshida ====
[[File:759-3.png|thumb|200px|Sonoko is teasing Conan about Ayumi]]
{{main|Conan Edogawa and Ayumi Yoshida}}
Conan grows to respect the little girl in his class for her sharp wit and observational skills, along with the other members of the [[Detective Boys]]. [[Ayumi Yoshida|Ayumi]] in turn clearly seems to like Conan and isn't aware that the other two Detective Boys are jealous of him because of this. Sonoko is also thinking the same after Sera teased Conan about the girl he likes.

==== Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya and Genta Kojima ====
[[Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya|Mitsuhiko]] sees Conan as a role model, someone he looks up to. [[Genta Kojima|Genta]], and more so Mitsuhiko, are often impressed by Conan's vast knowledge and incredible deduction skills. However, they both become quite jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi shows gestures of affection towards him (usually a small kiss on the cheek). While Conan initially only tolerated their presence, he has grown fond of them despite their relative immaturity.
In a case, where Genta's father was a suspect, Conan decided to solve the case without telling the other, because he didn't want Genta to worry about his father being a suspect for murder.

=== Law enforcement ===
==== Police ====
[[File:Megure and Conan Relationship.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Megure waffles between treating Conan like a child and a detective]]
With the exception of a few inspectors, most listen to the little clues that Conan points out. After a while, Conan gets the attention of the whole Tokyo police department for noticing things even pros miss. [[Wataru Takagi]] in particular has taken to trusting Conan completely and doing whatever Conan asks him to without hesitation.

==== Wataru Takagi ====
Wataru Takagi is the only police officer who has come the closest to finding out about [[Conan]]'s identity .In episode 304 ,while they waited for the elevator bomb's clock to run down to give the final clue to stop the greater crime. Takagi asked Conan about his real identity to which Conan answered that he would in the afterlife. He also is aware of Conan's sharp intelligence and takes him seriously so as to take him for questioning the suspects. He trusts Conan so much that he would take him seriously.

==== Kansuke Yamato ====

==== Hyoue Kuroda ====
[[Kuroda]] is aware how good Conan is as a detective, calling him " Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", he also trusts his deductions and have already ordered the Tokyo police to follow Conan's Instructions. On the other hand, Conan is suspicious of Kuroda because he almost matches [[Rum]]'s description, he also became shocked that Kuroda became the Superintendent of Tokyo Police in [[Matsumoto]]'s place.

==== FBI ====
The FBI contains most of the few people that Conan acts normally around despite them not knowing his identity. Conan seems to place trust in the FBI, and occasionally helps in their operations.

==== Jodie Starling ====
[[Jodie Starling|Jodie]] nicknamed Conan "Cool Kid" and Conan (despite being wary when he first met her) now places complete trust in Jodie. Jodie has also called Conan to share what would normally be classified information, notifying him of a new Black Organization member, Bourbon.

==== Shuichi Akai/Subaru Okiya ====
[[File:The Scarlet Return-Shuichi and Conan.jpg|right|thumb|200px|Shuichi and Conan ([[The Scarlet Return|Ep. 782]])]]
[[Shuichi Akai|Shuichi]] has been shown to respect Conan's detective skills. Together they hatched a plan to send Hidemi Hondou back into the organization and fake Akai's death. He has discovered that Conan and Shinichi are one and the same by spying on him in a [[Volume 77#File 814 - Conan-kun, Right?|recent plot line]]. Conan once says to Shuichi, "I'm glad you're an ally."

=== Black Organization ===
==== Gin and Vodka ====
Even though [[Gin]] and [[Vodka]] do not yet know who's interfering with their operations, Gin has been shown to be curious who "that guy" is, referring to Conan. In the movie [[The Raven Chaser]], Gin tries to catch a glimpse of Conan's face from a helicopter, but fails when Conan successfully downs the helicopter. Conan seems to have a very bitter hatred towards them, and this only increases as more people are targeted by the Black Organization.

==== Vermouth ====
[[Vermouth]] seems to have great personal interest in Conan, referring to him as the Black Organization's 'Silver Bullet'. She also protects Conan, probably because when she was disguising as a serial killer in New York she was saved by Conan (Shinichi at the time) and Ran. When the Organization plans on killing Kogoro, and later Conan, she strongly objects to a degree where Gin suspects whether Kogoro is related to Vermouth. Because of this, Conan does not react strongly when she is mentioned, as opposed to Haibara. He also seems to consider her less of a threat than the other members because he is able to bargain with her about Haibara and knows Vermouth is keeping his secret for personal reasons.

==== Bourbon ====
[[Rei Furuya|Tooru Amuro]] (codenamed Bourbon) has attached himself to the Mouri Detective Agency as Kogoro's "apprentice". Conan initially treats him in a somewhat friendly manner, though he privately thinks "another annoying person's showed up" when he learns Amuro will be joining Kogoro on cases. After learning of Amuro's membership in the Black Organization, though, Conan has been relatively nervous about him being near Ran. He's become more cautious and is somewhat confused by Amuro's helpful behavior, though he attempts to pretend nothing has changed. His bond with Amuro later seemed to improve when he learns that Amuro is actually an undercover operative from Japanese Secret Police when the two exchange smiles in Café Poirot.<ref>[[Volume 85#File 897 - Scarlet Truth|Volumes 85, File 897: "Scarlet Truth"]]</ref>

=== Others ===
==== Kaitou Kid ====
{{Main|Shinichi Kudo and Kaito Kuroba}}
Before being shrunk, Shinichi encountered [[Kaitou Kid]] once during the Clock Tower heist, though they did not meet face-to-face. In their next encounter, however, after Shinichi has become Conan, Kid disguises himself as Ran in order to steal the Suzuki family's Black Star pearl. When Conan corners him on the Suzuki cruise ship, Kid implies that he stole all of Ran's clothes to impersonate her, and left her naked on the deck. While this ends up being a bluff, Conan displays a much more intense desire to capture Kid in subsequent encounters. Conan stops Kid from escaping with the jewel often enough that Conan has gained reputation with the press as Kid's "natural enemy". In several instances Conan appears to be able to 'sense' Kid's presence, and seems excited by the chance to catch Kid again; appropriately, Kid seems to find Conan dangerous enough to warrant specific measures to keep him distracted.

[[File:704 20.png|thumb|200px|Kaitou Kid disguised as [[Shiho]] as requested from Conan]]

Conan does not buy in to Kid's reputation as a mysterious, uncatchable phantom, saying once "He's only a thief that uses magic",<ref>Anime Episode 515: Kaitou Kid's Teleportation Magic</ref> and encouraging police officers that Kid is only a man and he can be arrested. However, if necessary, the two can put their rivalry aside for a little while and work together.<ref>[[Kaitou Kid and the Four Masterpieces]]</ref> Conan has something of a gentleman's agreement with Kaitou Kid, in that he doesn't try to find or catch the thief outside of heists. In several instances, when Kid does Conan a favor, such as saving Genta's life<ref>[[Big Adventure in the Eccentric Mansion]]</ref>, Conan reciprocates by halting his investigation just shy of capturing Kid, thereby allowing him to escape mostly unhindered. This exchange of favors can sometimes become a bit unbalanced; in exchange for not giving Kid away on a train Conan has Kid face down the [[Black Organization]] in disguise, and because Kid narrowly escapes an explosion with his life, he says that Conan now owes ''him'' one.<ref>Manga [[Volume 78]], File 7 (824): "Mystery Train (Final Destination)"</ref>

In the non-[[canon]] movies, it is implied that Kid knows Conan's identity; he even helps Conan maintain his cover by disguising himself as Shinichi so that a suspicious Ran would stop suspecting Conan.

==== Mary Sera ====
Conan has been trying to discover the truth about [[Mary]] since the day he first saw her in a picture with Masumi Sera. In "The detective boys in the grove" case, he noticed Ai's uncanny resemblance to Mary. Then, he find out that the mysterious girl is the mother of Masumi Sera, Shukichi Haneda and Shuichi Akai and the wife of Tsutomu Akai, now somehow shrunken. On the other hand, Mary remains skeptical of Conan telling her daughter to be aware of him as he isn't the same boy they met 10 years ago.

== People who know Conan's real identity ==
{{main|List of characters who know Conan's identity}}
There are only a few characters in the series who know Conan's real identity. None of them have ever betrayed Conan's identity to date. The main characters to know the secret are [[Hiroshi Agasa]], [[Yusaku Kudo]], [[Yukiko Kudo]], [[Heiji Hattori]], and [[Ai Haibara]]. [[Vermouth]] of the Black Organization also knows about Conan's secret. Later, in Episode 508 of the anime, [[Eisuke Hondou]] confirms Conan's identity as [[Shinichi Kudo]] straight from him. In manga chapter 812-814, [[Subaru Okiya]] ([[Shuichi Akai]] in disguise) confirms that Conan is Shinichi. [[Masumi Sera]] also knows that Conan is Shinichi Kudo before they even first met. It is also hinted that [[Mary]] knows about Conan's true identity, telling her daughter Masumi to be wary of him.

In the 13th movie, the Black Organization member [[Irish]] discovers that Conan is actually Shinichi Kudo.

The 3rd, 8th, 14th, 19th and 23th movies also demonstrate that [[Kaitou Kid]] apparently knows Conan's identity and acts to protect it. Though it was once unconfirmed if he knew in the manga, it was recently confirmed in the Fairy Lips case, where Kid thinks that there are "two high school detectives" on the scene, referring to Heiji, and Conan, the only other high school detective there. It is unknown how he came to figure this out.

== Gadgets ==
{{main|Gadgets}}
Professor Agasa has made many gadgets for Conan, including a tranquilizer wristwatch, voice-modulating bow tie, kick-enhancing shoes, tracking/binocular glasses, stretchable suspenders, and a solar powered skateboard. Conan uses the first two regularly to create "Sleeping Kogoro", and the glasses and other gadgets to investigate cases or catch criminals. Agasa also created radio badges and watch flashlights Conan and the other Detective Boys.

== Character popularity ==
* eBookJapan held a character popularity poll from April 12, 2011 to May 12, 2011 in which readers of Detective Conan (international included) could vote for their favorite character. Conan placed 3rd in the poll with 866 votes out of the 5,883 that were cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ebookjapan.jp/ebj/special/conan/vote_kekka2.asp|title=『名探偵コナン』人気投票結|date=2011-05-12|publisher=eBookJapan|accessdate=2011-05-15}}</ref>

* In honor of the release of the 15th movie, [[Quarter of Silence]], the official Conan movie website held a popularity poll for the top 10 Detective Conan characters. Shinichi/Conan placed 1st out of 10 with 30.46% of the votes cast.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.conan-movie.jp/camp_chara/camp15th_res.html|title=名探偵コナン「キャラクター人気投票」|date=2011|publisher=www.conan-movie.jp|accessdate=2011-08-12}}</ref>

* In honor of the release of the 800th manga chapter, Shonen Sunday held a popularity poll/contest containing 91 Detective Conan characters to choose from. Conan placed 1st overall with 2,843 votes.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://forum.dctp.ws/index.php?topic=8024.msg651566#msg651566|title=Shonen magazine detective conan official poll results published [magazine pic]|date=2012-02-28|publisher=eva|accessdate=2012-02-29}}</ref>

== Name origin ==
Gosho Aoyama (and Shinichi, in the story) got the name 'Conan Edogawa' from Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories, and Edogawa Rampo, the pen name of Japanese mystery fiction writer Hirai Tarō. Hirai Tarō himself got the pen name "Edogawa Rampo" from a transliteration of "Edgar Allan Poe." Pronouncing Poe's name in a Japanese accent sounds like 'Edogawa Rampo.'

== Character inspiration ==
Gosho said Conan's hairstyle was designed in about one minute. He smoothed [[Yaiba]]'s hair and added a tuft modeled after the apostrophe hairstyle of Kabu from [[Wikipedia:Sally_the_Witch|Sally the Witch]]. The tuft on hair on the top of Conan's head comes from the character Shichimi in [[Wikipedia:Niji Iro Tōgarashi|Niji Iro Tōgarashi]]. Conan's clothes were modeled after [[Wikipedia:Shichi-Go-San|Shichi-Go-San (7-5-3) clothing]]. Young Gosho wore a bow tie and shorts in his Shichi-Go-San photographs. Gosho tries to restrict Conan's gadgets to what Conan can wear, but he has run out of ideas lately. The use of glasses as a disguise was modeled after [[Wikipedia:Superman|Superman]]'s Clark Kent. Conan's speech habits were meant to be slightly rough like Joe from [[Wikipedia:Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]] and [[Wikipedia:Touch (manga)|Touch]].<ref>File 865 Shounen Sunday Special Booklet</ref>

== Trivia ==
* Conan's bad singing came to light as a joke after the anime began airing because Conan's voice actress [[Minami Takayama]] is a well-known singer. In [[Volume 15]] of the manga, Takayama herself is kidnapped and Conan, who sounds similar to her, tries to take her place at a concert. However, despite having similar voices, they sound completely different when it comes to singing.<ref>[[Volume 15|Volume 15, Files 144-146: "Their Voices Are Alike!?"]]</ref>
* [[Image:EP622-623 Gallery 16.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Conan's cellphone wallpaper - Kogoro changed it when he was drunk]]He owns two cellphones, the one he uses as Conan and one that he uses as Shinichi. He is also shown using different kinds of cellphones throughout the series.
* Conan often uses the expression "Ah-le-le?" when he is trying to point out a clue, something that is usually said by Japanese grade-schoolers. The expression was even [[The Sullied Masked Hero|said by Kogoro]] out of irritation at Conan (right before Conan tranquilized him). Conan's habit of acting juvenile to disguise his real abilities also [[Festival Dolls Dyed in the Setting Sun|draws the ire]] of the Detective Boys.
* Conan/Shinichi and [[Ran Mouri|Ran]] share the same blood type.
* Conan/Shinchi's favorite food is lemon pie and favorite drink is iced coffee. Shinichi's favorite food is lemon pie and was first shown in [[The Memories of First Love Case]] and is also shown in [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan: The Movie]] when Daisuke say's that he isn't the only one who drinks iced coffee throughout the year.

== Misc ==

* This section only has one item at the moment. When FUNimation began releasing their artbox sets, Case 4's starter set was first, including two DVDs. One was '''Deadly Illusions''' (4.1), the other was '''The Secret Life of Jimmy Kudo''' (1.1). When FUNimation finally got around to releasing Case 1's artbox, they changed their minds entirely regarding packaging among other things and re-released 1.1 with two discs as '''The Investigation is Afoot'''. Thus, '''The Secret Life of Jimmy Kudo''' is all by itself.

== Misc ==

* This section only has one item at the moment. When FUNimation began releasing their artbox sets, Case 4's starter set was first, including two DVDs. One was '''Deadly Illusions''' (4.1), the other was '''The Secret Life of Jimmy Kudo''' (1.1). When FUNimation finally got around to releasing Case 1's artbox, they changed their minds entirely regarding packaging among other things and re-released 1.1 with two discs as '''The Investigation is Afoot'''. Thus, '''The Secret Life of Jimmy Kudo''' is all by itself.
