Plot overview
The Time-Bombed Skyscraper (Movie: 1)
When the mayor of Nishitama City was still in the position, he had a plan to revitalise the city and promoted him to do the city design. However, after Shinichi uncovered the truth that he was the actual culprit who caused a car accident, the mayor lost his position and, as a consequence, the revitalization plan was terminated. He still had his ideal Nishitama City design model in his art gallery. He held a grudge against the high school detective, thus wanted to challenge. He stole loads of plastic explosives containing octogen, from a munitions warehouse. He installed some of the bombs on an aeroplane and offered it to the Detective Boys. Conan approached them timely and successfully refrained from harming anyone. After that, he installed a bomb in a cat box, which was later mistakenly carried by an elderly woman. Once again, Conan diverted the bomb near a pond, and made it explode there, resulting in no casualties. Subsequently, he phoned Conan and challenged him: he installed five bombs on the Tohto Loop Line and, using Conan's wits, easily figured out the location where the bomb should have been laid to match his description in the phone call. The reason that he was planting bombs on the railway line was to actually destroy his early works from his thirties, as a section of the loop line was on top of the bridge, which was one of his early works. Before that, he also burned down several mansions that he had designed when he was young. Those buildings he ruined had one thing in common: they were not symmetrical, and as he is a perfectionist, he could not stand that. He even attempted to detonate the entire Beika City Building, as it was not exactly symmetrical, and Ran was also there, waiting to see a film with Shinichi, and celebrate his birthday after midnight. Luckily, Conan quickly realised it and got there, although they were separated by a wall, he was still able to assist Ran in disarming the bomb using a voice-changing bowtie.
Countdown to Heaven (Movie: 5)
The Detective Boys visited Nishitama City, where they saw the newly constructed Nishitamashi Twin Building Towers.

They learned that these twin towers were designed by an architect named Kazama Hidehiko, He greeted everyone and disclosed that he was a former student of Professor Moriya. After the astonishments conducted by Kogoro and Conan, he explained that although the builidng is asymmetrical, he would not destroy it like what his teacher did.
Name origin
His name is adapted from James Moriarty, a character from Conan Doyle's novel, who is the rival of Sherlock Holmes.
Trivia
- His original name was "Genji Moriya" and the reason that he changed it is to maintain symmetry, since each character from Japanese is symmetrical.
- Gosho Aoyama indicated that he liked this character and added that it's abit "wasting" to only use him in one film.
