* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She was at first attracted to [[spoiler: Shiratori]] for his gentlemanly and protective behavior, but what made her ''actually'' fall in love with the guy was [[spoiler: seeing [[LawfulGood him]] deal a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the guy who [[HeKnowsTooMuch tried to silence her]], which [[ForgottenFirstMeeting lets her remember]] how he protected her as children in a very similar way ''and'' dispelled the belief that he was using her to forget about Sato.]]

[[folder:Masumi Sera]]
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250723.jpg]]
->''Voiced by Creator/NorikoHidaka (JP)''

A rather peculiar NewTransferStudent to Ran and Sonoko's class. Like Shinichi and Heiji, she is a high-school detective.\\\
She moved from England to Japan to find out what happened to her brother, Shuuichi Akai, after getting word of his supposed death.\\\
[[ThemeNaming Mandatory Naming Note]]: Her name comes from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'''s Sayla Mass. The family connections are not coincidental.
----
* ActionGirl: Jeet Kune Do practitioner.
* ACupAngst: Exclaims "They're due to pop out every day now!" when her small bust is commented upon, and then she insists that her mother has quite large breasts and therefore hers will become this too.
* AmateurSleuth: Another high-school age detective.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Maybe. She ''did'' tease Ran and Sonoko when they first met by saying that Ran's just her type, and also has had quite a bit of LesYay with her. Meanwhile she also at one point jokes about having a secret boyfriend, and shows a rather strong fondness for Conan/Shinichi.
** In chapter 1002, when she meets Momiji, she's ''very'' fixated on [[BuxomIsBetter Momiji's really large chest.]] But this is due to her ACupAngst.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Like the other high-school age detectives of the series, if slightly less prone to dramatics, Sera has a very good eye for details and is able to largely work out and give detailed explanations of tricks used in crime scenes.
* BadassArmfold: Her CharacterTic is doing this. Most commonly while leaning on a wall.
* BadassBiker: Uses a motorcycle most of time, and once used it to '''smack''' a criminal about to kill Conan.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: She's an AmateurSleuth who at first is mistaken as a TroubledButCute guy until she shows up in Ran and Sonoko's class wearing the school's female uniform. In-story she's mostly seen as a tomboyish BikerBabe, and at least one of her friends (Sonoko) has found her pretty in a boyish way.
* {{Bokukko}}: As fitting with her appearance and personality, her [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns pronoun of choice]] is the boyish "boku"
* ButNotTooForeign: She claims to have studied abroad in America, but Conan eventually realizes little slips, such as calling soccer "football", that confirm she was actually in the United Kingdom. The flashback to when Shinichi and Ran first met Masumi confirms her mother was British and that she was indeed born and raised in the UK. Interestingly, both her parents have Japanese surnames (Sera and Akai), implying that despite her mother's extremely European features, there's Japanese heritage on both sides of the family.
* CatchPhrase: Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is "case closed".
* CuteLittleFangs: She has prominent canines that sometimes show when she smiles.
* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod confirmed she is based off of ''another'' ''Case Closed'' character, [[Characters/CaseClosedOneSceneWonders Natsuki Koshimizu]].
* {{Fangirl}}: When she was young she liked to read the "Night Baron" series, so she is fan of Yusaku Kudo.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: Her green eyes turn out to be inherited from her mother [[spoiler: Mary.]]
* FearlessFool: Downplayed. Sera isn't entirely fearless and is remarkably intelligent, but she often behaves in an incredibly reckless manner and seems to routinely underestimate exactly how dangerous the circumstances she's embroiling herself in actually are. [[spoiler:This has so far come back to bite her in the form of Conan and his allies' repeated hesitance to confide in her despite knowing she's both Akai's sister and the daughter of a fellow APTX 4869 victim who needs their help. Sera has routinely and intentionally made [[HintDropping obvious references]] to very dangerous information in insecure and public settings around uninformed people, and doesn't seem to understand why this has made others hesitant to reply in kind. She's reckless to the point of behaving entitled to what she clearly knows are others' life-threatening secrets despite not treating those secrets with the respect, care, or cautionary security required to maintain the safety of those involved]].
* FedoraOfAsskicking: Almost always seen wearing a fedora and utilizes her motorcycle to capture criminals. Plus, she's a Jeet Kune Do expert.
* FindTheCure: [[spoiler:Her mother was shrunk to middle-school age with APTX, so Sera's other main goal is find an antidote.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Eisuke Hondou. Both are {{Mysterious Transfer Student}}s with mixed backgrounds and a keen eye for detail and turn out to have some connection to [[spoiler:an undercover agent in the Black Organization, both of them being the younger sibling to said agent (Eisuke to Hidemi Hondou aka Rena Mizunashi aka Kir, Sera to Shuichi Akai aka Rye]]. Eisuke is clumsy, resembles a [[LadyLooksLikeADude woman]], and has only met Ran and heard about Shinichi as a teenager; Masumi is athletic, often mistaken for a [[DudeLooksLikeALady man]], and it's heavily implied she met Shinichi and Ran as children. [[spoiler:Both figured out Conan was Shinichi on their own, but while Eisuke kept this knowledge hidden and only told Shinichi about this after Shinichi willingly informed Eisuke himself, Masumi has made frequent and obvious references to knowing Conan's true identity in public settings, which has made him hesitant to confide in her.]]
** She could also be argued to be one for Shinichi, as her foolhardy and almost carefree demeanor despite her circumstances is very reminiscent of his own personality at the beginning of the series, and his conflict with her over how recklessly she as a detective appears to handle dangers and security risks highlights how much more careful and paranoid Shinichi has become since the beginning of the series (at least, [[LoveMakesYouStupid when romance isn't involved]]).
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: It's been heavily alluded to that both Conan/Shinichi and Ran met her before when they were children, with both of them having vague feelings of recollection around her. [[spoiler: Confirmed later: they met in the beach around 10 years before the story began.]]
* HintDropping: Like many characters in the series, Sera has her secrets. Uniquely however, she seems to be actively trying to drop large hints about what they are so that Conan can figure them out, short of outright telling him.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Appearance wise, anyway. Unlike most of the other high-schoolers in the series (that aren't known to be privy to Conan secretly being Shinichi), Sera treats Conan like a friend more her own age instead of a child ten years younger. That being said, there are many hints she is aware that Conan isn't the child he looks to be.
** All but outright confirmed that Sera knows Conan is actually her age. She still has the distinction of very openly treating Conan as an equal in any and all situations without tiptoeing around the issue. This is the friendliness that has had Sonoko teasingly label Sera a paedophile.
* LadyLooksLikeADude:
** Almost every character who meets her when she's in her casual clothing mistakes her for a boy at first. Her appearance even manages to confuse [[spoiler: Kaitou Kid who after mistaking her for a teenage boy, [[MuggedForDisguise knocked her out and stripped her of her clothes]] in order to impersonate her and ''still'' failed to notice [[UnsettlingGenderReveal until he was told]]]].
** This was actually a clue in the Red Woman murder case. One of the pieces of evidence that point to [[spoiler: Sumika]] as the killer is that they didn't mistake Masumi for a boy.
* MessyHair: Part of her {{Bifauxnen}} appearance.
* MuggedForDisguise: It happens to her [[spoiler:in ''The Blush Mermaid Heist''. She's knocked out and stripped of her clothes by Kaitou Kid, who disguises himself as her and leaves her BoundAndGagged in the men's bathroom]]. It becomes a crucial plot point to solve the case, [[spoiler:as Kaitou Kid mistakenly [[LadyLooksLikeADude assumed she was a boy]] and thus made several mistakes when impersonating her]].
* NewTransferStudent: The newest student of Teitan High after Eisuke left for America. Her various behaviors and comments made by and about her suggests she's got quite a few plot relevant secrets and connections under her belt.
* NiceGirl: Sera has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High.
* NiceHat: Has a number of Fedoras.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Has shown a tendency to throw chummy hugs around her friends, or excitedly get right up in Conan's face when she's enquiring him about something.
* PantyShot: Happens to her a few times. In one case, when Mouri knocks on her door as her apartment is right next door to a murder victim's, she's shown wearing pants, but the button is undone and exposes a small portion of her underwear. In a prior case, she was knocked out by Kaito Kid and had her clothes stolen, leaving her in only her underwear. She's less concerned about running around in her undies and more about the fact that Kaitou stripped her down and used her.
* PluckyGirl: Masumi is a {{biker babe}} {{bifauxnen}} who does her best to help her friends and look for both [[spoiler:her missing older brother]] and [[spoiler:a cure for her mother, who is an APTX survivor like Conan and Ai.]]
* RunningGag: About the above, people being unsure if she's a girl or a boy.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ran, Conan and Sonoko, as well as the audience who don't find out concretely that she's female until after the first case she's involved in.
* SecretKeeper: Is mysteriously hiding an unusually mature-behaving young girl, whom Sera resembles, in the hotel room where she is living. Said child has specifically asked Sera to keep her presence hidden from others. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that the child is her mother, Mary Sera, who like Shinichi/Conan and Shiho/Ai was shrunk to a child-age. Both of them are looking for clues to find a cure for her.]]
* ShesGotLegs: Whether she's in her uniform or in normal clothes, there's quite the focus on her long legs.
* ShipperOnDeck: She teases Ran about her and Shinichi's relationship, and even calls her Shinichi's girlfriend.
* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: Implied. It's mentioned that [[spoiler:Shuichi Akai went to America and decided to join FBI after their father's death. Then in Chapter 972, Akai mentioned that their mother, Mary, was still pregnant when Akai left Japan for America. This means Masumi wasn't born yet by the time their father died.]]
* SpiritedCompetitor: In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:As of Chapter 822, she's been revealed to be Shuuichi Akai's younger sister. Lampshaded and foreshadowed by the fact that Conan mentions that she looks like someone he knows when they first met.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: According to WordOfGod, the entire reason Sera was created was to have a character similar to the aforementioned Natsuki, who had proven popular with fans, [[spoiler: but could no longer be used since she was arrested for killing someone]].
* TemptingFate: In Chapter 969[=/=]Episode878, Conan tells her, Sonoko, and Ran about a troublesome customer at a clothing store he happened upon. Masumi remarks that the woman is the most likely to be a victim of a murder. Not ten minutes later, she and the others find the woman murdered.
* {{Tomboy}}: When she said she was going to dress more girlishly for an ''Series/IronChef''-style show's taping she meant she'd be wearing ''girly panties''.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly.

[[folder:Tooru Amuro]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tumblr_m9luwqcvjl1qbzw5lo1_1280.jpg]]
->''Voiced by Creator/ToruFuruya (JP), Creator/KyleMcCarley (EN, TMS[=/=][[Creator/BangZoomEntertainment Bang Zoom]])''

A PrivateDetective who first appeared posing as a waiter while helping a client with a case. He currently works at Café Poirot, and has become Kogoro's apprentice.\\\
[[spoiler:He is, in fact, Bourbon of the Black Organization, and is shown to be one of the few operatives Vermouth is willing to work with. He is THEN revealed to actually be Rei Furuya, a member of the Japanese secret police having infiltrated the Black Organization]].

There is a spinoff manga focusing on him, ''Zero's Tea Time'', drawn by ''Literature/TheSagaOfDarrenShan'' and ''Manga/{{Arago}}'' artist Takahiro Arai. It is set to receive an anime adaptation through Netflix in 2022.
----
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: [[spoiler:File 1011 reveals that despite having been born in Japan and having lived there his whole life, he was picked on as a child for having foreign ancestry.]]
* AmbiguouslyBrown: Amuro has dark skin, lighter than, but closer to Heiji's color. File 1011 reveals that one of his parents isn't Japanese.
* TheApprentice: He asks to be Kogoro's apprentice to improve his deductional skills.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Amuro's deduction skills are on par with the likes of Shinichi/Conan and Heiji.
* BadassDriver: Amuro is a capable driver, capable of precisely swinging his car in front of another during a high speed car chase in order to stop it with a controlled collision.
* {{Bishonen}}: He is often described as "good-looking".
* BreakoutCharacter: One of the most popular characters in the series, in spite of being introduced very far into its run. His popularity is significant enough that he got his own spinoff in 2018.
* CharClone: Ironically, he has a lot more in common with Char than Akai. Blonde, handsome and charismatic, [[TheAce good at everything]], [[spoiler: hiding his identity behind [[MultiLayerFacade multiple layers of aliases]], working for the bad guys but planning on betraying them, and constantly getting distracted from his heroic goals by his obsessive hatred for one of the protagonists]].
* ButNotTooForeign: See AmbiguouslyBrown. However, he was born in Japan and and has lived there his whole life.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: As [[spoiler:Bourbon]], he initially attempts to find and bring back [[spoiler:Sherry to the syndicate]] alive and promises that he will not use violence as long as [[spoiler:she]] comes quietly with him. Considering [[spoiler:Sherry was originally going to be executed for insubordination and The Big Boss through Gin deploys a manhunt to specifically hunt down and seize Sherry, dead or alive]], this implies that [[spoiler:Bourbon]] is perhaps not so bad as an individual. Turns out he has a special role as a [[spoiler:mole]] and his loyalty lays in [[spoiler:Public Security Bureau and his late friend Scotch]].
* GeniusBruiser: Besides being a great detective, he's also great at boxing, as shown when a single punch from him to an attacker's gut causes him to spray blood from the mouth and collapse.
* HeroesGoneFishing: The ''Zero's Tea Time'' spinoff, as the title implies, shows what he does to relax, including online gaming and actually going fishing.
* {{Homage}}: To [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro]], complete with white RX-7 which is ShoutOut to '''RX-7'''8-2. And with the same seiyuu, to boot. [[spoiler: His real name comes from both the character and seiyuu as well. In the ''Zero Tea Time'' spinoff, he adopts a dog he eventually names Haro, also the name of ''Gundam'''s spherical SeriesMascot.]]
* IntergenerationalFriendship: He's implied to have had one with [[spoiler: none other than Elena "Hell's Angel" Miyano.]]
** File 1011 elaborates on this: [[spoiler:Elena felt a kinship with the young Rei Furuya since she was also part Japanese. She encouraged him to not feel discouraged by his foreign ancestry and try to get along with other children.]]
* LivingADoubleLife: A triple life in this case. On the surface, he maintains a civilian identity of Tooru Amuro, a cafe worker and amateur sleuth. [[spoiler:Secretly, he's a Black Organization operative codenamed Bourbon. His real identity, however, is that of Furuya Rei, a police officer of the Public Security Bureau, the Japanese secret police.]]
* MarriedToTheJob: When Conan randomly asks him whether he has a significant other in the ''Zero the Enforcer'' movie, he invokes this.
--> My lover is... this very country!
* MasterOfDisguise: [[spoiler:As Scar Akai. Apparently he had some help from Vermouth for that.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:He is Bourbon. And the fake Akai that was around for a while.]]
* MysteriousPast: Previously attended the police academy and was a friend of Takagi's deceased superior, Wataru Date. [[spoiler:Becomes even more mysterious after one wonders how someone from the police academy became a member of the Black Organization, or if he was already a member of the Organization before applying to the academy.]]
* TheReveal:
** [[spoiler:When he announces his Bourbon codename in front of a normally sized Shiho Miyano (Kaito Kid in disguise) during the Mystery Train arc.]]
** [[spoiler: Much later, it ''also'' turns out that he's actually a mole infiltrating the Black Organization. His actual allegiance is that it's not the FBI, which he has some disdain for; he seems to be working for the Japanese Secret Police instead.]]
* TheMole: [[spoiler:Yet another spy in the Black Organization.]]
%%* SherlockScan:
* ShoutOut: His name, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro]].
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:In order to further infiltrate the Organization's inner circle, he planned to run over an elementary school teacher and hand over Shuuichi Akai to them. Akai calls him out on this, reminding him not to forget their true targets.]]
* WhamLine: During the Mystery Train arc. [[spoiler: "Bourbon... that's my codename!"]]

->''Voiced by Creator/YukoKobayashi / Yuko Khato (JP), Creator/StephanieYoung (EN, Creator/{{Funimation}})'', Erika Robledo (first Latin-American Spanish dub), Laura Orlázabal (third Latin-American Spanish dub)

Conan and the Detective Boys' homeroom teacher who later appoints herself as their "manager" when they're out solving cases.

[[spoiler:She later becomes Inspector Shiratori's girlfriend on account of him remembering that she was the girl he had helped in the past and not the physically similar Sato, whom he had been chasing after originally.]]
----
* AdaptationDyeJob: Her "Before" appearance was colored brown. Her "Middle" and "After" appearances had her colored as dark blue.
* AscendedExtra: Originally a one-shot character, it took her about ''150'' chapters to show up a second time[[note]]Not counting a brief cameo in one of Haibara's nightmares[[/note]], and she only becomes a semi-regular about 200 chapters after ''that''.
* BettyAndVeronica: [[spoiler:The gentle, ShrinkingViolet teacher "Betty" to Sato's aggressive, ActionGirl cop "Veronica" for Shiratori's "Archie". Subverted in that Shiratori ''thought'' that Sato was his true love he met in childhood...which was actually Kobayashi; besides that, Sato is an OfficialCouple with Takagi and Kobayashi ''thought'' Shiratori was only interested in her because of her resemblance to Sato. Thankfully, it was all sorted out.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: When she thought that [[spoiler:Shiratori was only with her because of her strong resemblance to Detective Sato, she remained cold and took quite the distance towards him until she remembered him as the boy who helped her.]]
** Even before that there's her whole SadistTeacher act, which worked so well that only the kids stepping into her rehearsals could undo it.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With [[spoiler:Shiratori]]. It's also rather curiously played with: [[spoiler: They met as children, yes, but unlike the other "childhood couples" they didn't know each other's names and lost sight of each other for ''decades'' after their chance encounter. When they met again, adulthood and time had changed them thoroughly (Shiratori was quite more prideful, Kobayashi was more shy and quiet), he had chased after another woman for a long time [[LovingAShadow believing that she was Kobayashi]], and [[ForgottenFirstMeeting she couldn't remember him]]. [[FirstGirlAfterAll He still recognized her as the "destiny girl"]] [[LoveAtFirstSight upon laying his sight on her]], she later recalled him, and then they got together.]]
* CoolTeacher: After her first episode she becomes a more fun, but still firm teacher to her students.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindows: Her "after" appearance has her with matching black-blue hair and blue eyes, rather than her original light brown hair/black eyes looks.
* {{Fangirl}}: Of Ranpo Edogawa.
* FirstGirlAfterAll: [[spoiler:Shiratori had always been in love with a girl he befriended when young, and after thinking for some time that she had grown to become Detective Sato ([[LovingAShadow leading to]] the LoveTriangle with Detective Takagi), it turned out "the girl" was Kobayashi-sensei, who to be fair [[IdenticalStranger looks a lot like Satou]].]]
* FlowerMotifs: [[CherryBlossoms Sakura]]. Which turn out to be [[spoiler:a huge hint that she was Shiratori's true love from childhood.]]
-->'''Kobayashi:''' "Because the sakura [[spoiler:is the symbol of police officers! Determined, kind, and dignified.]] It's a flower [[spoiler:of justice!]]"
* {{Foil}}: In contrast of Kobayashi-sensei's physical resemblance to [[spoiler:Sato]], however, the two women have almost entirely different personality traits: While Kobayashi-sensei is more gentle, softspoken, cautious, and careful in any given situation. [[spoiler:Sato is reckless, outspoken, daring, and impulsive.]]
* FriendToAllChildren: Even with her SadistTeacher act, she was only doing it for the children's sake. After she drops it, she plays the trope completely straight and all the kids adore her.
* FriendToAllLivingThings: During her SadistTeacher act, Kobayashi took care of the plants and fish in secret. Ayumi once caught her doing so.
* GirlyGirl: [[TomboyAndGirlyGirl Towards]] Sato's {{tomboy}}. Rather eagerly lampshaded by Yumi when they meet and she mistakes her for Sato, then is surprised by "Miwako"'s meekness.
* HiddenDepths: A retroactive example. [[spoiler:In Shiratori's flashback to when he first met Kobayashi-sensei, notice how she is acting more assertive when she catches the two '''grown up''' thieves.]]
* HotTeacher: More of a [[{{Moe}} cute one]], though.
* IdenticalStranger: Without her glasses, Kobayashi looks a LOT like Detective Sato. [[spoiler: Which troubles her when Shiratori shows interest in her, as she believes at first he [[LovingAShadow only likes her because of her physical similarity to Sato]]. (Not to mention, the reason why Shiratori mistook Sato as the girl he liked was ''because'' of her looks.)]]
* ManicPixieDreamGirl: [[spoiler: Subverted. She was this [[SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl to Shiratori]], but only when they were children. When they meet again as adults and properly get together, she has grown into a more shy and thoughtful person. Nevertheless, Shiratori [[TrueLove loves her just the way she is]].]]
* MeaningfulName: Sumiko, means "lovely child" which reflects her [[FriendToAllChildren fondness for children.]]
* {{Meganekko}}: A rare adult version, but Kobayashi is a cute teacher who wears big glasses.
* MoralityPet: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. While [[spoiler:Shiratori]] is far from evil or a being a straight up jerk, it's all but stated that [[MoeCouplet she brings out the best in him.]]
* NiceGirl: One of the friendliest people you'll meet in the series.
* OfficialCouple: With [[spoiler:Shiratori]].
* {{Otaku}}: Of mystery novels.
* PetTheDog: Even when she was making herself pass as a SadistTeacher, Kobayashi couldn't fully hide her kind nature, thus she watered the plants and fed the pet fishes in secret.
* RescueRomance: [[spoiler:With Shiratori. As children, he supported her when she stood up to shoplifters. As adults, he is one of the persons who protects her when she's targeted by a murderer because s{{he knows too much}} (complete with a DeclarationOfProtection), and him giving a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the culprit that sounded almost ''exactly'' like the one he gave to the shoplifters is what [[FirstGirlAfterAll makes her remember that he was the boy from their past]].]]
%%* SadistTeacher: A facade used to hide a HiddenHeartOfGold. For the reason, see the ShrinkingViolet section.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: {{Subverted}} [[spoiler:with [[GentlemanDetective Shiratori]]. They ''used'' to fit in the trope [[spoiler: during [[ForgottenFirstMeeting their first and almost last encounter]] when [[ChildhoodFriendRomance they were children]] ]], but [[spoiler: when they found each other again 20 years later, Sumiko had grown into a much gentler ShrinkingViolet and Shiratori was more [[{{Pride}} arrogant]] than savvy. [[OfficialCouple They still got together]].]]
* {{Sensei chan}}: Downplayed. She only shows traits of the trope when she tries to be the manager of the Detective Kids, but otherwise she's pretty competent and serious in her job and her students love her to boot. [[spoiler: And since she has a boyfriend, there's nothing to worry in regards to the ChristmasCake part.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: After some really bad experiences in her former workplace, poor Kobayashi was so terrified of doing badly in parent meetings that she used to practice in the empty school at night with dolls. The Detective Kids thought she was a witch, though. (And Conan thought she was planning to kill someone else!).
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She was at first attracted to [[spoiler: Shiratori]] for his gentlemanly and protective behavior, but what made her ''actually'' fall in love with the guy was [[spoiler: seeing [[LawfulGood him]] deal a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to the guy who [[HeKnowsTooMuch tried to silence her]], which [[ForgottenFirstMeeting lets her remember]] how he protected her as children in a very similar way ''and'' dispelled the belief that he was using her to forget about Sato.]]
* ThroughHisStomach: Once she and [[spoiler: Shiratori]] get together, she begins making ''bento'' lunch boxes for him.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type B. See her BewareTheNiceOnes section.

->''Voiced by Creator/JunkoNoda (JP)''

A NewTransferStudent to Sonoko and Ran's class who has a somewhat weak health and comes off to be extremely clumsy. He came to Japan to find his sister's whereabouts, [[spoiler: that sister being Hidemi Hondou of the CIA, aka, Kir of the Black Organization.]] He returned home shortly after the discovery, [[spoiler: but not before telling Conan that he knew of his true identity, and that he had developed feelings for Ran.]]

* ButtMonkey: Always falling on his face.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Always got in accidents, which at one point, almost led to him bleeding to death. Parents died when he very young. And his only relative, [[spoiler:his elder sister Hidemi]], mysteriously disappeared.
* DudeLooksLikeALady: And how-- go back above and check Kobayashi-sensei's picture, and he looks 80% like her.
* HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Eisuke figuring out Conan's real identity as Shinichi Kudo proves his intelligence is on par with Shinichi/Conan and/or Heiji Hattori.]]
* HopelessSuitor: [[spoiler: His talk of bringing Ran to America with him may have been a bluff but he seems to recognize that it wouldn't have worked even if he had been serious about it.]]
* IllBoy: He had leukemia when he was a child, and he got better due to his older sister Hidemi's bone marrow donation. [[spoiler:This is a plot point as his blood type changed because of it: he used to be a O, but now he ''and'' Hidemi/Rena are AB.]] ''All'' story arcs related to him happened in hospitals. ''Even'' when he's not the one admitted.
* ImprovisedWeapon: [[spoiler: Eisuke used [[ShearMenace a pair of scissors]] to try and stab Mizunashi Rena when he found her in the hospital.]]

[[folder:Masumi Sera]]
[[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250723.jpg]]
->''Voiced by Creator/NorikoHidaka (JP)''

A rather peculiar NewTransferStudent to Ran and Sonoko's class. Like Shinichi and Heiji, she is a high-school detective.

She moved from England to Japan to find out what happened to her brother, Shuuichi Akai, after getting word of his supposed death.

[[ThemeNaming Mandatory Naming Note]]: Her name comes from ''Anime/MobileSuitGundam'''s Sayla Mass. The family connections are not coincidental.
----
* ActionGirl: Jeet Kune Do practitioner.
* ACupAngst: Exclaims "They're due to pop out every day now!" when her small bust is commented upon, and then she insists that her mother has quite large breasts and therefore hers will become this too.
* AmateurSleuth: Another high-school age detective.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Maybe. She ''did'' tease Ran and Sonoko when they first met by saying that Ran's just her type, and also has had quite a bit of LesYay with her. Meanwhile she also at one point jokes about having a secret boyfriend, and shows a rather strong fondness for Conan/Shinichi.
** In chapter 1002, when she meets Momiji, she's ''very'' fixated on [[BuxomIsBetter Momiji's really large chest.]] But this is due to her ACupAngst.
* AwesomeByAnalysis: Like the other high-school age detectives of the series, if slightly less prone to dramatics, Sera has a very good eye for details and is able to largely work out and give detailed explanations of tricks used in crime scenes.
* BadassArmfold: Her CharacterTic is doing this. Most commonly while leaning on a wall.
* BadassBiker: Uses a motorcycle most of time, and once used it to '''smack''' a criminal about to kill Conan.
* {{Bifauxnen}}: She's an AmateurSleuth who at first is mistaken as a TroubledButCute guy until she shows up in Ran and Sonoko's class wearing the school's female uniform. In-story she's mostly seen as a tomboyish BikerBabe, and at least one of her friends (Sonoko) has found her pretty in a boyish way.
* {{Bokukko}}: As fitting with her appearance and personality, her [[UsefulNotes/JapanesePronouns pronoun of choice]] is the boyish "boku"
* ButNotTooForeign: She claims to have studied abroad in America, but Conan eventually realizes little slips, such as calling soccer "football", that confirm she was actually in the United Kingdom. The flashback to when Shinichi and Ran first met Masumi confirms her mother was British and that she was indeed born and raised in the UK. Interestingly, both her parents have Japanese surnames (Sera and Akai), implying that despite her mother's extremely European features, there's Japanese heritage on both sides of the family.
* CatchPhrase: Sera's catchphrase upon the conclusion of a case is "case closed".
* CuteLittleFangs: She has prominent canines that sometimes show when she smiles.
* {{Expy}}: WordOfGod confirmed she is based off of ''another'' ''Detective Conan'' character, [[Characters/DetectiveConanOneSceneWonders Natsuki Koshimizu]].
* {{Fangirl}}: When she was young she liked to read the "Night Baron" series, so she is fan of Yusaku Kudo.
* FamilyEyeResemblance: Her green eyes turn out to be inherited from her mother [[spoiler: Mary.]]
* FearlessFool: Downplayed. Sera isn't entirely fearless and is remarkably intelligent, but she often behaves in an incredibly reckless manner and seems to routinely underestimate exactly how dangerous the circumstances she's embroiling herself in actually are. [[spoiler:This has so far come back to bite her in the form of Conan and his allies' repeated hesitance to confide in her despite knowing she's both Akai's sister and the daughter of a fellow APTX 4869 victim who needs their help. Sera has routinely and intentionally made [[HintDropping obvious references]] to very dangerous information in insecure and public settings around uninformed people, and doesn't seem to understand why this has made others hesitant to reply in kind. She's reckless to the point of behaving entitled to what she clearly knows are others' life-threatening secrets despite not treating those secrets with the respect, care, or cautionary security required to maintain the safety of those involved]].
* FedoraOfAsskicking: Almost always seen wearing a fedora and utilizes her motorcycle to capture criminals. Plus, she's a Jeet Kune Do expert.
* FindTheCure: [[spoiler:Her mother was shrunk to middle-school age with APTX, so Sera's other main goal is find an antidote.]]
* {{Foil}}: To Eisuke Hondou. Both are {{Mysterious Transfer Student}}s with a MixedAncestry and a keen eye for detail and turn out to have some connection to [[spoiler:an undercover agent in the Black Organization, both of them being the younger sibling to said agent (Eisuke to Hidemi Hondou aka Rena Mizunashi aka Kir, Sera to Shuichi Akai aka Rye]]. Eisuke is clumsy, resembles a [[LadyLooksLikeADude woman]], and has only met Ran and heard about Shinichi as a teenager; Masumi is athletic, often mistaken for a [[DudeLooksLikeALady man]], and it's heavily implied she met Shinichi and Ran as children. [[spoiler:Both figured out Conan was Shinichi on their own, but while Eisuke kept this knowledge hidden and only told Shinichi about this after Shinichi willingly informed Eisuke himself, Masumi has made frequent and obvious references to knowing Conan's true identity in public settings, which has made him hesitant to confide in her.]]
** She could also be argued to be one for Shinichi, as her foolhardy and almost carefree demeanor despite her circumstances is very reminiscent of his own personality at the beginning of the series, and his conflict with her over how recklessly she as a detective appears to handle dangers and security risks highlights how much more careful and paranoid Shinichi has become since the beginning of the series (at least, [[LoveMakesYouStupid when romance isn't involved]]).
* ForgottenFirstMeeting: It's been heavily alluded to that both Conan/Shinichi and Ran met her before when they were children, with both of them having vague feelings of recollection around her. [[spoiler: Confirmed later: they met in the beach around 10 years before the story began.]]
* HintDropping: Like many characters in the series, Sera has her secrets. Uniquely however, she seems to be actively trying to drop large hints about what they are so that Conan can figure them out, short of outright telling him.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Appearance wise, anyway. Unlike most of the other high-schoolers in the series (that aren't known to be privy to Conan secretly being Shinichi), Sera treats Conan like a friend more her own age instead of a child ten years younger. That being said, there are many hints she is aware that Conan isn't the child he looks to be.
** All but outright confirmed that Sera knows Conan is actually her age. She still has the distinction of very openly treating Conan as an equal in any and all situations without tiptoeing around the issue. This is the friendliness that has had Sonoko teasingly label Sera a paedophile.
* LadyLooksLikeADude:
** Almost every character who meets her when she's in her casual clothing mistakes her for a boy at first. Her appearance even manages to confuse [[spoiler: Kaitou Kid who after mistaking her for a teenage boy, [[MuggedForDisguise knocked her out and stripped her of her clothes]] in order to impersonate her and ''still'' failed to notice [[UnsettlingGenderReveal until he was told]]]].
** This was actually a clue in the Red Woman murder case. One of the pieces of evidence that point to [[spoiler: Sumika]] as the killer is that they didn't mistake Masumi for a boy.
* MessyHair: Part of her {{Bifauxnen}} appearance.
* MixedAncestry: Born to a Japanese father and a British mother.
* MuggedForDisguise: It happens to her [[spoiler:in ''The Blush Mermaid Heist''. She's knocked out and stripped of her clothes by Kaitou Kid, who disguises himself as her and leaves her BoundAndGagged in the men's bathroom]]. It becomes a crucial plot point to solve the case, [[spoiler:as Kaitou Kid mistakenly [[LadyLooksLikeADude assumed she was a boy]] and thus made several mistakes when impersonating her]].
* NewTransferStudent: The newest student of Teitan High after Eisuke left for America. Her various behaviors and comments made by and about her suggests she's got quite a few plot relevant secrets and connections under her belt.
* NiceGirl: Sera has a cheery, sociable, boyish personality and is well liked by her classmates at Teitan High.
* NiceHat: Has a number of Fedoras.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Has shown a tendency to throw chummy hugs around her friends, or excitedly get right up in Conan's face when she's enquiring him about something.
%%* PantyShot
* PluckyGirl: Masumi is a {{biker babe}} {{bifauxnen}} who does her best to help her friends and look for both [[spoiler:her missing older brother]] and [[spoiler:a cure for her mother, who is an APTX survivor like Conan and Ai.]]
* RunningGag: About the above, people being unsure if she's a girl or a boy.
* SamusIsAGirl: On Ran, Conan and Sonoko, as well as the audience who don't find out concretely that she's female until after the first case she's involved in.
* SecretKeeper: Is mysteriously hiding an unusually mature-behaving young girl, whom Sera resembles, in the hotel room where she is living. Said child has specifically asked Sera to keep her presence hidden from others. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that the child is her mother, Mary Sera, who like Shinichi/Conan and Shiho/Ai was shrunk to a child-age. Both of them are looking for clues to find a cure for her.]]
* ShesGotLegs: Whether she's in her uniform or in normal clothes, there's quite the focus on her long legs.
* ShipperOnDeck: She teases Ran about her and Shinichi's relationship, and even calls her Shinichi's girlfriend.
* SomeoneToRememberHimBy: Implied. It's mentioned that [[spoiler:Shuichi Akai went to America and decided to join FBI after their father's death. Then in Chapter 972, Akai mentioned that their mother, Mary, was still pregnant when Akai left Japan for America. This means Masumi wasn't born yet by the time their father died.]]
* SpiritedCompetitor: In some degree, she seems to like rivalry or contests to see who is the winner.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[spoiler:As of Chapter 822, she's been revealed to be Shuuichi Akai's younger sister. Lampshaded and foreshadowed by the fact that Conan mentions that she looks like someone he knows when they first met.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: According to WordOfGod, the entire reason Sera was created was to have a character similar to the aforementioned Natsuki, who had proven popular with fans, [[spoiler: but could no longer be used since she was arrested for killing someone]].
* {{Tomboy}}: When she said she was going to dress more girlishly for an ''Series/IronChef''-style show's taping she meant she'd be wearing ''girly panties''.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Masumi is quite quick-minded, coming up with clever plans and adapting them to sudden changes rapidly.

* HeroesGoneFishing: The ''Zero's Tea Time'' spinoff, as the title implies, shows what he does to relax, including online gaming and actually going fishing.
* {{Homage}}: To [[Anime/MobileSuitGundam Amuro]], complete with white RX-7 which is ShoutOut to '''RX-7'''8-2. And with the same seiyuu, to boot.

* IntergenerationalFriendship: He's implied to have had one with [[spoiler: none other than Elena "Hell's Angel" Miyano.]]
** File 1011 elaborates on this: [[spoiler:Elena felt a kinship with the young Rei Furuya since she was also part Japanese. She encouraged him to not feel discouraged by his foreign ancestry and try to get along with other children.]]
* LivingADoubleLife: A triple life in this case. On the surface, he maintains a civilian identity of Tooru Amuro, a cafe worker and amateur sleuth. [[spoiler:Secretly, he's a Black Organization operative codenamed Bourbon. His real identity, however, is that of Furuya Rei, a police officer of the Public Security Bureau, the Japanese secret police.]]
* MarriedToTheJob: When Conan randomly asks him whether he has a significant other in the ''Zero the Enforcer'' movie, he invokes this.

* MasterOfDisguise: [[spoiler:As Scar Akai. Apparently he had some help from Vermouth for that.]]

* TheReveal:
** [[spoiler:When he announces his Bourbon codename in front of a normally sized Shiho Miyano (Kaito Kid in disguise) during the Mystery Train arc.]]
** [[spoiler: Much later, it ''also'' turns out that he's actually a mole infiltrating the Black Organization. His actual allegiance is that it's not the FBI, which he has some disdain for; he seems to be working for the Japanese Secret Police instead.]]
