Satoru Maeda is a Jonan University Electronics Department assistant and the Japanese karate champion who is admired by [[Ran Mouri|Ran]]. He's her main inspiration in the world of karate six years ago. He met her as well as [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]] and [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] during the [[Night Baron]] case. He is arrested by the Shizuoka police for interfering with their investigation in a murderer against his girlfriend Akiko Sayama, a 24-year-old high school math teacher and his best childhood friend's younger sister, and the offenses that came with it, but is likely to get a lighter sentence due to the circumstances of his crimes and his own good behavior beforehand.
