He meets [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] in several cases and his great deduction impresses him only during Takagi's kidnapping, but Conan justifies himself saying which, when he consulted [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] earlier on the phone, that's what he told him.

Although he has hatred for Takagi, he collaborates in the case of Takagi's kidnapping by giving accounts of him having witnessed Takagi coming out of the record office a week earlier and that he was crying so he wondered what records was he looking at which alerted Matsumoto who quickly ordered his men to search the room.
He is always accompanied with several recurring detectives and sometimes asked on stakeouts. He seems pretty experienced in martial arts.
