Akai family

From Detective Conan Wiki
Revision as of 09:40, 27 January 2016 by Chekhov MacGuffin (talk | contribs) (Undo revision 146823 by Chukichi (talk) I don't think this has been confirmed beyond 100% reasonable doubt. I haven't spotted anything about Shuukichi's prior surname being Sera or Akai.)

The Akai family has three known members so far: Shuichi Akai, Masumi Sera, and an unknown middle brother. Masumi has also alluded to a well endowed mother and a deceased father. According to Masumi, her surname Sera comes from her mother's side, and her second brother had also been sharing this surname until he graduated from high school. There is an additional unknown child of middle school age who may be part of the Akai family.

Masumi Sera


Mr. Akai (The Father)

There is currently no information about him, other than the fact that he is deceased and passed his looks down to his middle son.

Mrs. Akai (The Mother)

  • Mrs. Akai is bosomy.
  • Mrs. Akai presumably passed her looks onto Akai and Sera.
  • Mrs. Akai is living in America.[1]

Shuichi Akai (1st son)

Shuichi Akai is the 1st son in Akai family. He is an FBI agent and a major figure in the battle against the Black Organization. He once assumed the identity of Dai Moroboshi and infiltrated the Organization, where he was given the codename Rye. During this time he made enemies with Gin and Bourbon and became romantically involved with Akemi Miyano.

Unknown (2nd son)

Assuming the middle brother is between 16 (assumed lower range for Masumi's real age) and 35 (assumed upper range for Akai's age based on his appearance and reasonable full-blooding sibling age separation), multiple characters could qualify for his identity. It's possible that the middle brother is a minor character who was a suspect or witness in a case, but did not distinguish himself or demonstrate his intelligence. It's also possible for the middle brother to be a character who has not been introduced yet, but will be later in a flashback. Some fans think the mysterious Unknown child who looks like a member of the Akai family might be the brother after being shrunken by APTX 4869.

Masumi Sera (1st daughter)

Masumi Sera is the 1st/2nd daughter in Akai family. She is a high school detective. She is the younger sister of FBI agent Shuichi Akai and a practitioner of the martial art Jeet Kune Do. Although she grew up in Japan during her elementary school years, she moved to America three years ago with her mother, presumably due to Akai infiltrating the Black Organization. She has recently returned to Japan for some unknown reason.

Speculation

Unknown child

Masumi Sera has been shown interacting with a child who may be related to the Akai family. The child appears to be a middle-school aged girl, has the characteristic Akai family eyes, and asks Masumi to tell Conan she is her little sister from outside the territory.

As Masumi didn't mention having a younger sister, this had led to fan speculation that the child could be one of the other family members shrunken by APTX 4869.
