Keiko Momoi (桃井 恵子 Momoi Keiko?) is a character in the manga and anime franchise Magic Kaito, as well as the manga and anime franchises Yaiba and Detective Conan.

Background

Keiko appears to be a close friend of Aoko Nakamori, possibly her best friend after Kaito Kuroba. It is not stated how long the girls have known each other. In the plot of Magic Kaito, Keiko often serves the same purpose that Sonoko Suzuki does to Ran Mouri: that of friend and foil to the female main character.

She attends Ekoda High along with Aoko, Kaito, Akako Koizumi, and Saguru Hakuba.

Personality

Although comparable to Sonoko, Keiko appears to have a far less abrasive personality. She is an avid Kaitou Kid fan, but knows better than to advertise this in front of Aoko.

Plot overview

Although Keiko often appears in Magic Kaito, she never appears in the Detective Conan manga, while she appears only once in the anime, in the first part of episode 219 which is adapted from the Magic Kaito manga.

Keiko is also a recurring character in Yaiba, and in the last chapter of that manga a scene set after a three years timeskip has her telling Sayaka Mine that Kuroba and Nakamori are a couple now, while Keiko's friend confirms having seen them together.

Magic Kaito plot overview

The Revived Phantom Thief (MK1412: 1)

The Police Are Everywhere (MK1412: 15)

The Clockwork Heart (MK Manga: 2)

A girl looking exactly like her already appears in the 2-B classrom on the second page, probably making this an unnamed, non-speaking appearance of Keiko at this point.

Kaitou Kid's Busy Day Off (MK Specials: 2, MK1412: 7)

Aoko, Keiko and someone who appears to be Sayaka in Episode 7 of Magic Kaito 1412.

Keiko only appears in the animated versions of this story. In Magic Kaito 1412 she talks with another girl who seems to be a version of Sayaka Mine, who get interested in Aoko Nakamori's and Kaito Kuroba's date in Tropical Land.

The Scarlet Temptress (MK Manga: 6, MK Specials: 4, MK1412: 5)

During her first named appearance, she teases Aoko Nakamori because of the fact that she wants to give Valentine's chocolate to Kaito Kuroba and implying that she couldn't give anyone her own chocolate so far, since everyone just wants one from the new girl in class, Akako Koizumi.

Stay Away From Him (MK Manga: 7, MK Specials: 6, MK1412: 13)

Keiko is the one who notices the "cute patch" Akako Koizumi put on Kaito Kuroba's back, causing him to finally remove it.

Japan's Most Irresponsible Prime Minister (MK Manga: 8)

Would You Grow Up (MK Specials: 4, MK1412: 8)

The Boy Who Bet on the Ball (MK Manga: 11)

Keiko asks another student whether she has heard about Kaitou Kid announcing to appear in Tokyo Dome that night.

Ghost Game (MK Manga: 12, MK1412: 8)

Star War (MK Manga: 14, MK1412: 12)

The Great Detective Appears!! (MK Specials: 7, MK1412: 4)

Yaiba vs. Kaito! (MK Manga: 18)

Keiko has a brief background cameo talking with Akako Koizumi in the classroom behind Kaito Kuroba the morning after his battle with Yaiba Kurogane the previous night.

Blue Birthday (MK Manga: 19, MK Specials: 5, MK1412: 2)

Keiko and her friend are two of the guests at Aoko Nakamori's birthday party, looking forward to Kaito Kuroba's appearance and his magic show, but alas, he never appears, since he got into a confrontation with the organization as Kaitou Kid.

Black Star (MK Manga: 23-24, Anime: 219, MK1412: 6)

The students of class 2-B of Ekoda High School are talking about Kaitou Kid's announcement to steal a whole clock tower. Aoko Nakamori is vehemently against it, but Keiko argues that it was supposed to get moved anyway, so it would be fine if it gets stolen by Kid as well, to which Aoko disagrees. Keiko later gets accompanied by Aoko as the only one who is not cheering, but against Kid's heist, to her slight embarassment.

Sun Halo (MK Manga: 34)

Keiko and Aoko meet Kaito with his new bike in Chapter 34 of Magic Kaito.

Keiko is on her way to school together with Aoko Nakamori, talking about Kaitou Kid's newest announcement and Kaito Kuroba's whereabouts, since Aoko normally goes to school with him, moments before he appears with his repaired bike.

Yaiba plot overview

What's "School"? (Yaiba Manga: 3)

This incarnation of Keiko debuts as one of Sayaka Mine's classmates in her second year of middle school who marvels at Yaiba Kurogane. He joyfully jumps at her chest, hanging on her like a monkey and making her laugh.

Lots of Samurai (Yaiba Manga: 4)

When Grandma Mine, Mr. Sudo and the school principal go looking for Yaiba Kurogane, they meet Keiko in the hallways of the school, asking her where he went. She tells them that he went to the dojo together with Sayaka.

Onimaru's Great Transformation (Yaiba Manga: 11, Yaiba Anime: 2)

She is again one of the girls celebrating Yaiba Kurogane's return to school, saying that he's cute. Keiko is also one of the first students to notice the transformed Takeshi Onimaru enter the schoolgrounds, being amused about his new horns at first. In the anime Kenyuu Densetsu Yaiba she - or a girl based on her - is also dragging Sayaka Mine away from the line of battle between Yaiba and Onimaru.

Are You Coming? (Yaiba Manga: 255)

Keiko's friend, Sayaka and Keiko herself on their way to school in Chapter 255 of Yaiba.

Sayaka Mine is going to Ekoda High School after a timeskip of three years, meeting Keiko and her friend on her way to school, who tell her that "Kuroba-kun" and "Nakamori-san" are an official couple now. She afterwards has art and english lessons with Sayaka, whom she tries to comfort when she starts crying, because she is missing Yaiba Kurogane and the gang - moments before the latter literally crashes into the classroom on a flying sword, shocking Keiko.
