Yukiko Kudo (工藤 有希子 ,Kudou Yukiko) is the mother of Shinichi Kudo and, along with her husband Yusaku, one of few characters who knows he is Conan Edogawa. She was once a famous actress, but retired after marrying Yusaku.

Personality

Despite her adult age, Yukiko still behaves like a teenager. She is attention-seeking and prefers to stand in the lime-light (literally) whenever possible. She is an extremely reckless driver and very sensitive about her age: Whenever her son dares to call her "oba-chan" in Japanese (in English, the closest equivalent would be "aunt"), she sets up such a furious face that Shinichi must quickly correct himself by calling her "one-chan" ("older sister").

Name origin

The name Yukiko Fujimine (藤峰) name comes from Lupin III character Fujiko Mine and actress Yukiko Nikaido (the original voice of Fujiko). Her alias, Fumiyo (文代), comes from Fumiyo Akechi, wife of Edogawa Rampo's Kogoro Akechi.

Quotes

Episode 286 (talking about Ran): Hey, you may be looking at my future daughter-in-law.

Episode 335 (talking to Conan about Haibara): There's only two reasons for a girl to look at a boy like that: he has something on his face or she likes him.
