Gin (ジン Jin) is a high-ranking official in the Black Organization and the primary antagonist of the series. He is the organization member who gave Shinichi Kudo the experimental poison APTX 4869 which turned him into Conan Edogawa.[1] He is frequently paired on missions with Vodka.
Appearance
Gin is a tall man with, as Shinichi put it, the eyes of someone who has easily killed many people without a care.[1] He has long silver hair (blonde at first in the anime, but this was later changed to match the manga) that goes down to his hips and dark green eyes. He wears a black hat, long black coat, and a white turtleneck sweater.
Later in the series he receives a scar on his left cheek after a bullet from Shuichi Akai's rifle grazes him.[2]
Background
Gin appears to be a high-ranking agent, often giving the other members their orders and supervising group missions, and seems to be able to communicate freely with Anokata. However, his true position is unknown, as he often goes on missions himself.
Gin seems to have undergone serious physical training, giving him incredible stamina and a high pain tolerance, as shown when he remained conscious after receiving a sleep dart and shot himself in the arm to regain full consciousness.[3]
Personality
Although Gin is loyal to Anokata and follows all of their orders, he is also shown to act on his own intuition on more than one occasion. He is more than willing to take matters into his own hands when he feels another member has failed.[4] He does not trust anyone and does not fully believe anything he doesn't witness himself.[5]. He even once pulled a gun on his own partner, Vodka, when he went against orders and rescheduled a meeting with one of their contacts outside of the organization.[4]
Gin is quite intelligent[4] and has yet to be truly outsmarted by Conan, although he has been foiled a couple of times. As soon as he becomes suspicious of someone he gets to work looking into them,[6] but as soon as his suspicions are proven wrong he tends to lose interest completely.[2]
