Inspector Yuminaga

Yuminaga (弓長 ^?), better known as Inspector Yuminaga (弓長警部 ,Yuminaga-keibu^?), is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Inspector Yuminaga is from the Arson Investigation Section 1 of the first Division^[1], who therefore deals with arson cases. Kogoro Mouri, who was his subordinate at some point, nicknamed him "fiery old fossil".

Personality

Yuminaga, like most other inspectors, trusts and listen to Conan Edogawa's deductions, even once called him "the boy who has put the police to shame". He has gotten angry at a man that burnt down an apartment because "I thought resetting it would fix it", and angrily mentions that the culprit, in one day, destroyed a lifetime of memories of a family.^[2] Similar to most other police officers, he shows professionalism and dedication in his job. He is also quite calm and collected during cases.
