Momiji Ooka (大岡 紅葉 Ōoka Momiji?) is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Momiji Ooka is a second-year student from Kyoto Senshin High School. Her family is linked to the Ooka Group and likely to be wealthy, since she has a personal butler and her grandfather is a former Prime Minister[2], third to Renya Karasuma and Suzuki plutocrats in Tokyo.[3] She has romantic interest in Heiji Hattori and refers to him as her future husband. They knew each other when they were kids and played karuta together.[4] This makes her a rival of Kazuha Toyama and she tries to disrupt their romance.

Momiji appears to be an extremely competent detective, as she saw through a trick merely based on a sound she heard in a phone call with her butler, Muga Iori, before Conan, Heiji or Amuro did. Later, Iori says that her deduction was great as usual, implying that she regularly solves cases and also says that Heiji's great deductive skill was to be expected from the person that Momiji chose as her partner.

Personality

Momiji has a close personal interest in Heiji's cases as he makes the news. For some reason, she believes Heiji will be her future husband, despite his feelings for Kazuha. She and Heiji did meet as children and apparently made a promise. Momiji is also extremely smart, especially in regards to catching details that others miss. When Iori informed her via phone some details about a case Heiji was working, Momiji actually caught other signals that Iori himself had missed and used them to reach a correct deduction that would greatly help Conan and Heiji. Iori also implies that Momiji engages in her own detective work at times, as she is no stranger to making such deductions. Momiji seems to be very girlish and a bit vain, plus fond of taking some degree of care in her appearance.

Appearance

Momoji is a fair-skinned girl of average height and slender frame. She is considered very beautiful with noticeably full lips and wavy, ash-blond hair that is cheek-length and parts on to the left of her forehead. The most noticeable trait about her is her very large bust, which is bigger than most girls her age, so much that the flat-chested Masumi was jealous and baffled and Okita to simply referring to Momiji as "Boobs". She is a very stylish girl with pierced ears and small earrings, and her nails are seen painted in intricate patterns.

Abilities

Momiji is a skilled detective as she could solve a case just from hearing voice from phone and noticing knowing names of Kyoto on code.

Non-canon plot overview

The Crimson Love Letter (Movie: 21)

Momiji Ooka is introduced as a champion of Hyakunin Isshu karuta who met Heiji when they were younger at a karuta tournament. Momiji claims Heiji promised to marry her. At the end, Heiji reveals she misheard him and that he actually said: "But next time we meet, I'll be even stronger, so hone yer skills and wait for me".

The Million-dollar Pentagram (Movie: 27)

Momiji and her butler, Iori, go to possible romantic spots in Hakodate, Hokkaido, knowing Heiji would most likely be considering the best spot to confess. Momiji and Heiji never meet face to face in the film, but Momiji helps Heiji with a code part of the central mystery. She and Iori help in the climax by dropping flash bombs on the antagonists during a car chase involving Conan.

Relationships

Heiji Hattori

Momiji and Heiji met when they were kids. Momiji has a love interest for Heiji and even calls him her "future husband".

Kazuha Toyama

Because of this love interest, Momiji and Kazuha consider one another as rivals and their interactions are laced with one or another degree of passive-aggression.

Muga Iori

Iori is Momiji's butler and loyal servant. She values that he approves of Heiji as her future husband.

Soshi Okita

Momiji and Okita are classmates. While talking to Ran, Momiji is annoyed at the mere mention of Okita, whom she calls "that kendo boy", though she is willing to deliver a message from Ran to him. When he later comes over to the crime scene with some kendo buddies to hunt down tengus, Momiji only has sarcastic comments and further annoyance to offer. In turn, Okita doesn't want Momiji to learn of the girl he has a crush on, fearing he would never hear the end of it if she heard of his crush. Somewhat rudely, Okita only refers to Momiji as "Boobs" in a conversation with Ran, in reference to her overly large breasts.

Ran Mouri

Ran and Momiji are acquainted but not close. They exchanged contact details and Momiji tried to send a message to Shinichi through Ran. They're mostly polite to one another.

Manga vs. movie

Momiji is unique in that her character was introduced primarily in the movie The Crimson Love Letter. Despite movies being non-canon, her background and her connection with other characters are established in the movie, without which the manga does not fully make sense. In the movie, Momiji meets Ran, Kazuha and Conan for the first time and she knew Heiji from when they were younger. In file 1002, Ran says they only met recently when she and her father travelled to Kyoto (not depicted in the manga) while Kazuha and Heiji are already very familiar with Momiji despite never having met in the manga.

Name origin

Her first name means "red leaves," which is the name of the Japanese maple tree. In Japan, the custom of viewing the changing colour of maples in the autumn is called "Momijigari," and Kyoto, the city where Momiji is from, is known for its "momijigari" spots.

Her surname means "large hill", and it comes from Ooka Tadasuke (大岡 忠相). Not only was he a real-life samurai and magistrate in the service of the Tokugawa shogunate, but he has also been featured in jidai geki series like Ōoka Echizen and Meibugyō! Ōoka Echizen, among others.
