Shuichi Akai (赤井 秀一 Akai Shuuichi?) is an F.B.I agent and a major figure in the battle against the Black Organization. He once assumed the identity of Dai Moroboshi (諸星 大 Moroboshi Dai?) and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename Rye (ライ ?). During this time he made enemies with Gin and Bourbon and became romantically involved with Akemi Miyano.

Background

"Scar Akai"

Recently, Jodie Starling has encountered a man who looks exactly like Shuichi, however he has a huge scar from a large burn on the side of his face. Jodie is reluctant to believe that this man is Shuichi, and has not told anyone of her discovery, rather figuring it out on her own. In the Detective Boys vs. Robber Group case, the man helps Conan defeat the robbery gang, though Conan himself doesn't know who it was that helped him.

Personality

Relationship Analysis

  • Shuichi Akai and Akemi Miyano

Shuichi originally met Akemi Miyano by accident. She accidentally hit him with her car when he was walking in the street. Akemi was concerned over this, 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 told him her name, while he told her his fake name: Dai Moroboshi. After this, both of them discovered they were in the Black Organization, and began dating. However, for Akai, there was a catch involved. To the FBI, Akai's relationship was merely a stepping stone, something to use to take advantage of the Black Organization, and to get information. However, as James Black later recalls, Akai had begun to fall in love with Akemi, and consider her his real girlfriend.

The last text message Akemi had sent Shuichi, before her death.

In Akemi's heart, she always felt that Akai (Dai,) really wasn't who he seemed to be. Later, due to a massive error by Andre Camel, Akai is discovered to be an FBI agent, leading to his exile from the Organization. When Akemi discovers this, she runs to him in tears, sad and angry, and afraid that Akai really had only used her to get information on the Organization. When Akai asks her why she never said anything about her suspicions before, Akemi basically hints it is because she loves him. After this, Akemi and Akai don't hear from each other for a long while, and Akemi's role in the Organization dwindles because they believe that she gave information about the Organization to Akai. After the successful bank heist, she is killed by the Organization. However, on the day of the heist, Akemi sent Akai a long text message, tell him that after the heist, when she is finally free from the Organization, if he wants to be her real boyfriend. Akai is never able to answer this, as she is killed by Gin. Akai treasures this text message, and it was even still in his phone, many months after Akemi's death.

  • Shuichi Akai and Jodie Starling

Later on in the series it shows that Akai and Jodie used to go out in episode 563 and he broke up with her because he was going out with Akemi and didn't want to feel guilty about two timing them

Name origin

Akai's name comes from the Mobile Suit Gundam character Char Aznable, whose nickname was the "Red (Akai) Comet", and Char's voice actor 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.
