Akemi Miyano (宮野 明美 Miyano Akemi), also known by her alias as Masami Hirota (広田 雅美 Hirota Masami), is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan. Akemi is the older sister of Shiho Miyano, and both were members of the Black Organization. However, unlike her sister, Akemi was never considered a high ranking member of the Organization. After completing a bank heist that was supposed to free her and her sister from the Organization, Gin and Vodka betray her and kill her before Conan can save her. Akemi is one of the few characters in the show that know that Conan is Shinichi Kudo, as he admits it to her while she is dying in front of him, telling him about how dangerous the Organization. Although she dies in her first appearance, Akemi shows up numerous times throughout the series, mostly in episodes featuring Haibara, whom looks at Ran Mouri as a spitting image of her sister. It is also later learned that Akemi was the girlfriend of Shuichi Akai, back when he was undercover in the Organization, and wanted to begin a real relationship with him after she would have left.
Background
Akemi was never considered a high ranking member of the Organization, as her sister was considered more important, due to her being the one tha created the poison the shrunk Shinichi. After many years in it, she decides she wants to leave, along with her sister. Both wanted to start a new life, and Akemi was in love with undercover FBI agent Shuichi Akai, who she knew as her boyfriend Dai Moroboshi.
Akemi made a deal with Gin to pull a bank heist in exchange for her and Shiho's freedom. She hired two men to help her out, taxi driver Kenzo Hirota for his getaway car, and a large man for his strength. The night before the heist, Akemi sent Dai-kun (Akai) a text message, asking him to be her real boyfriend if she is able to escape from the organization.[1]. However, after successfully completing the heist, Hirota betrayed them and took the loot for himself. In order to find Hirota and the money, Akemi disguised herself as a school girl and visited Kogoro's office, claiming to be Hirota's daughter Masami searching for her runaway father. After they found him, Akemi contacted the giant, whom had hired his own detective, and a fight broke out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Hirota. Akemi and the giant hung Hirota's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grabbed the cash, and left for a hotel. Akemi slipped some pills given to her by Gin into the giants drink, unaware that they were poisonous and would kill him instantly.With both of her partners dead, she hides the suitcases of money at the hotel's front desk and heads of to meet Gin and Vodka, with Conan following closely behind.[2]
In the anime, she works at a bank under the name Masami Hirota and pulls an inside job, without any partners[3], while the Kenzo Hirota part of the story was used for another case unrelated to Akemi or the Black Organization.[4] When she arrives at the meeting place, she tells Gin she will only tell him where the money is after he frees her sister, but Gin goes back on his word, saying her sister is far too valuable to let go of. He gives her one last chance to cooperate, but she refuses and he shoots her. Conan arrives at the scene too late, and she dies while he tries to save her.[3] It is here that Conan reveals to her, while she is dying, that he is Shinichi Kudo.[3] Akemi's death is ruled a suicide, as Gin's fingerprints were not found on the gun that killed her.[3]
