=== Red Wall Case (Manga: [[Volume 65#Red Wall Case|682-686]], Anime: [[The Mansion of Death and the Red Wall|558-561]]) ===
Morofushi was the 1st one who realized that by observing the red wall for a long period of time then looking at the white wall, one sees Green in the after image before both [[Kansuke]] & [[Conan]] did too afterwards. This was meant to denote the Italian Flag, a vital clue to uncovering the culprit. Right after Morofushi noticed the secret message, he immediately text [[Kansuke]] a sentence "The late Koumei" but unfortunately, before the text was sent, he has his head smacked by the culprit. Fortunately enough, the message was successfully sent at a second before his consciousness lost.

The nickname "Komei" (高明) comes from the Japanese reading of "Kong-ming" (孔明), the courtesy name of [[Wikipedia: Three Kingdoms|Three Kingdoms]] era Chinese strategist [[Wikipedia: Zhuge Liang|Zhuge Liang]] (諸葛 亮). Komei got this nickname most probably because the ''on'yomi'' (Sino-Japanese reading) of the name 諸伏 高明 is ''Shofuku Kōmei'', somewhat similar to ''Shokatsu Kōmei'', the Japanese reading of Zhuge Kongming.

Morofushi's name has a lot to do with [[Wikipedia: Zhuge Liang|Zhuge Liang]] (诸葛亮), a prominent Chinese military strategist living in the [[Wikipedia: Three Kingdoms|Three Kingdoms]] era, about 1800 years ago. The courtesy name of Zhuge Liang is "孔明", which is pronounced as "Kōmei" in Japanese. Morofushi's given name "高明" is also pronounced in this way with the on'yomi reading (Sino-Japanese reading) ("Taka'aki" is the kun'yomi reading, or native reading, of the name "高明"). Furthermore, the on'yomi reading of Morofushi ("Shofuku") is somewhat similar to the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese surname 诸葛 ("Shokatsu").

Taka'aki Morofushi (諸伏 高明 Morofushi Takaaki?), more commonly known as Komei (高明 Kōmei?) is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Taka'aki's parents died prematurely, and his younger brother Hiromitsu was taken in by relatives in Tokyo and separated from Taka'aki. Morofushi and Kansuke Yamato were students at the same elementary school, which is where the two met.[1] Morofushi's exploits were so well known that a book about a child who solved a case in a elementary school, titled "Komei-kun from Second Grade Class A!" was based off of him, while another character in the book was based off of Yamato.[1] Morofushi cherishes the book, keeping it in the glove compartment of his car, as the author was a friend of his (she unfortunately died).[1] He was originally a high ranking inspector in Nagano, until he abandoned his job briefly to try and find Yamato when he was left for dead in the snow during a case.[1] After Morofushi found the suspect, and helped save Yamato, he was demoted as an inspector in a local force in Nagano.[1] In episode 653, it is revealed that he has returned to the main headquarters using his abilities.

Personality

Komei is generally shown to be calm and well-mannered, in contrast to the quick-tempered Yamato. According to Yamato, Komei tends to ignore others completely while investigating, and sometimes goes out of his jurisdiction to try and solve a case. He will even put his life on the line if he has to.

After seeing through Kid's tricks and "solving" the case, he meets up with Sato and Takagi, who hands him the envelope. Inside Morofushi finds a destroyed phone with a hole on it.

Relationships analysis

Hiromitsu Morofushi

Taka'aki and Hiromitsu are siblings. After their parents' death, Hiromitsu was taken in by relatives in Tokyo and was separated from Taka'aki, but they still kept a good relationship. Their contact was forced to stop when Hiromitsu quitted the Tokyo MPD and "took on another assignment" (i.e. began working for the Public Security Bureau). Afterwards, Hiromitsu became an undercover and died during his mission, but Taka'aki was not aware of this until he retrieves Hiromitsu's broken phone four years later and infers from the phone the fate of his younger brother.

Kansuke Yamato

The rivalry between Yamato and Morofushi is mostly friendly, in which they see who can solve the case first. The two are also friends, and although they sometimes clash (with Yamato being quite rude to Morofushi), the overall relationship is not affected (as evidenced by, for example, Yamato's attempt to get Morofushi back to the prefectural police force after Morofushi's demotion to a local police station).

Morofushi is grateful that Yamato has introduced him to Conan, as he realizes after the Red Wall case that Conan is highly intelligent.[1] He even believes, and confides this to Yamato, that if it were not for Conan's observations, they would have never even come close to solving the case.[1] He even compares Conan to a young version of Zhuge Liang.[1]

Name origin

The Komei nickname in kanji with a katakana reading.

Morofushi's name has a lot to do with Zhuge Liang (诸葛亮), a prominent Chinese military strategist living in the Three Kingdoms era, about 1800 years ago. The courtesy name of Zhuge Liang is "孔明", which is pronounced as "Kōmei" in Japanese. Morofushi's given name "高明" is also pronounced in this way with the on'yomi reading (Sino-Japanese reading) ("Taka'aki" is the kun'yomi reading, or native reading, of the name "高明"). Furthermore, the on'yomi reading of Morofushi ("Shofuku") is somewhat similar to the Japanese pronunciation of the Chinese surname 诸葛 ("Shokatsu").

Quotes

Make no intrusion into others' affairs. When it comes to relationships between close people, outsiders must never interfere.[citation needed]

Trivia

  • During Taka'aki's first appearance, after hearing him noting about the case being under his department's jurisdiction and learning his name, Conan inwardly commented "Shokatsu no Kōmei" (Komei's jurisdiction). This is a pun on the Japanese reading of Zhuge Kongming.
