!!The Detective Boys
[[folder:General]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/643875_498829280158086_1326426437_n.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350: From lower left to lower right: Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Conan (center), Genta, and Haibara.]]

Consisting of Conan, Haibara, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Ayumi, they are a FiveManBand of kid detectives.

[[ThemeNaming Mandatory Naming Note]]: Their group name comes from the group of the same name in Edogawa Ranpo's novels.

DubNameChange: The Junior Detective League.
----
* BadassAdorable: All of them are cute kids who often help bring criminals to justice. And while they may not be at Conan's level, they have had their share of awesome moments in the series (canon or non-canon).
* BigThinShortTrio: Out of the boys, Genta is Big, Mitsuhiko is Thin, and Conan is Short.
* FiveManBand:
** TheLeader: Conan, he leads the investigations, but Genta insists on the credit.
** TheLancer: Haibara, like Conan, is a genius adult shrunk to child form but her coldness contrasts his heroics.
** TheSmartGuy: Mitsuhiko ''thinks'' he's the smartest because he's LockedOutOfTheLoop. He provides information Conan lacks.
** TheBigGuy: Genta, the tallest and strongest (and chubbiest) of them.
** TheChick: Ayumi is a cheerful girl who's friends with everyone; even FirstNameBasis with Haibara.
* FreeRangeChildren: The kids spend a lot of time wandering around without even nominal adult supervision. They regularly do things like take bus trips, canvas neighborhoods, and explore caves, forests and scary mansions alone. True, Conan and Ai are OlderThanTheyLook, but almost any adult who isn't [[SecretKeeper Professor Agasa]] doesn't know that since Conan and Ai look about seven.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: They are a group of 7-year-olds who are friends with the elderly Professor Agasa, adult Tokyo police, and main teenage characters (mostly Ran and Sonoko).
* KidDetective: They think of themselves as a detective group, hence the group name, but it's Conan that solves all their cases.
* LimitedSocialCircle: They are rarely seen spending much time with classmates outside their group but Ayumi at least is shown with a list of her other friends. [[JustifiedTrope Justified]] with Ai and Conan, who simply don't have any reason to make more friends at elementary school.
* LoveDodecahedron: Genta likes Ayumi, Mitsuhiko likes Ayumi and Ai, Ayumi likes Conan, Ai is believed to like Conan and Conan is Ran-sexual.
* NonIndicativeName: Despite the name, the group started with one TokenFemale, and now there are two girls. Averted in the Funimation dub.
* SheIsAllGrownUp: OVA 9 has them all aged to their high school years. [[spoiler:It turned out to be part of Conan's dream.]]
* ShipperOnDeck:
** They often refer to Shinichi as "Ran-oneesan's boyfriend".
** All of them prefer that Takagi and Satou became a couple.
** They all give a knowing, sly smirk to Agasa after his meeting with his FirstLove, Fusae Campbell-Kinoshita.
** After discovering that [[spoiler:Kobayashi]] is [[spoiler:Shiratori's "girl of destiny"]], they all were anxious for them to become a couple.
** Apparently, they are all for Heiji and Kazuha becoming a couple, since Conan told Heiji that ''all'' of them made [[spoiler:their own copy of Heiji's confession to Kazuha.]]
* SnoopingLittleKid: The group together is mostly seen as this to grown-ups; particularly, the police department and Kogoro. They style themselves {{Kid Detective}}s, but aren't quite up to snuff without Conan or Haibara helping them. They ''do'' show potential though, when they try to beat Conan to solving a mystery. They still need help, but Hattori mostly dropped hints for them to work it out themselves. They also provide the occasional EurekaMoment.
* TagAlongKid: Conan is pretty much followed by the three actual kids of the group, Mitsuhiko, Genta and Ayumi. Ai on rare occasions takes Conan's place here sometimes. Otherwise, she stands along side Conan.
* TwoGirlsToATeam: Ayumi was initially the only girl but the trope is played straight after Haibara joined the Detective Boys.

The one and only emotional girl of the Detective Boys before Ai Haibara joined the group later in the series.

DubNameChange: Amy Yeager.
----
* TheCutie: Most of the time she's a smiling cutie.
* DudeMagnet: Both [[BigEater Genta]] and [[TheSmartGuy Mitsuhiko]] have a crush on her.
* FirstNameBasis: Ayumi is the only child of the group who calls Haibara by her first name.
* HopelessSuitor: For Conan, due to the latter's age problem. Though to her defense, it's more like admiration than a crush.
* NiceGirl: Ayumi is a sweet and innocent girl and acts as the group's cheerful spirit.
* ObliviousToLove: Ayumi is blissfully unaware that Mitsuko and Genta both have a huge crush on her.
* PluckyGirl: She has a habit of confronting murderers or criminals much larger than her head on despite being scared out of her mind. Best demonstrated when she refused to run to seek help in the Old Blue Castle Murder case because her friends are still in trouble and the Find the Buttock Mark case where she wants to be present to identify the attempted murderer. [[spoiler:Her courage is what inspired Haibara to refuse the Witness Protection Program]].
* PrecociousCrush: An example of the child not being aware that said older crush is a young adult. Ayumi has a crush on Conan but he's actually a high school student who was shrunk by a pill.
* TheSmurfettePrinciple: She was the only girl of the group before Haibara joined.
* ThirdPersonPerson: In later chapters, Ayumi constantly refers to herself as such.
* TokenMiniMoe: Pretty self explanatory seeing how any other major or secondary female character in the series is either a teenager or an adult not counting the shrunk Haibara.

[[quoteright:189:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/021.png]]

The big kid of the group who enjoys to eat, but isn't the brightest of the bunch.

DubNameChange: George Kaminski.[[note]]His original last name of Kojima is used instead in a few early episodes[[/note]]
----
* BigEater: Eats a lot for his age. Although he ''is'' fat.
* BigOlEyebrows: Has thick, square-shaped eyebrows.
* BookDumb: Genta is not very good at school and has difficulty with simple basic Japanese and math. Although, he ''is'' a first grade elementary student.
* BridalCarry: Give one to Haibara in Movie 5 to stop her SenselessSacrifice.
* DumbMuscle: Seen to be the least intellectual of the group, but at least makes up for it for being the biggest and the strongest of the Detective Boys.
* HopelessSuitor: Genta has a crush on Ayumi, but she has a crush on Conan, which makes her this as well [[FountainOfYouth given]] [[OlderThanHeLooks Conan's]] [[SecretIdentity circumstances]]...
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Even though he is brash, outspoken and can be intimidating, Genta is actually very kind and dependable.
* MeaningfulName: One of the kanjis of his first name means "plump, fat". He's also the fattest of his friends as well as a BigEater.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:
** During the ''Tragedy of the Pier in Plain Sight'' case (episodes 366-367/volume 45), his uncharacteristic action of fully concentrating on fishing (to the point of almost skipping lunch) turns out to be a secret plan to catch a rare fish for Professor Agasa's birthday.
** When he doesn't want lunch (chapter 303), his friends know something's wrong. [[spoiler:He's afraid because someone tried to kill him.]]
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The loud, tough Manly Man to Mitsuhiko's thoughtful, organized Sensitive Guy.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Genta gained his physical looks from his mother. The only trait he got from his father are the BigOlEyebrows.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Unajuu, or eel on rice.

[[quoteright:100:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/019.png]]


The lead boy before Conan joins the group who genuinely tries to provide Conan with legitimate feedback on cases that the group comes across; most of the time to no avail.

DubNameChange: Mitch Tennison.
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Besides Conan and Ai, Mitsuhiko is the most mature of his friends.
* AuthorAvatar: Gosho Aoyama has stated in an early interview that [[TheSmartGuy Mitsuhiko]] is modeled after his childhood self.
* CovertPervert: He is a genuinely respectful and sweet kid... who also joins in with Genta on looking at cute girl in swimsuits. And another time has him (with Genta) asking Conan if he saw Ayumi and Haibara naked.
* ADayInTheLimelight: There have been a few episodes where Mitsuhiko solves the case before even Conan pieces everything together. Episode 303, "The Victim Who Came Back", notably features his deductions.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: Mitsuhiko has shown a dislike towards carrots.
* HopelessSuitor: ''Twice''.
** Mitsuhiko has a crush on Ayumi, but she has a crush on Conan, which makes her this as well [[FountainOfYouth given]] [[OlderThanHeLooks Conan's]] [[SecretIdentity circumstances]]...
** He later gains a crush on Haibara, but it obviously won't work out given her dilemma is the same as Conan's.
* NiceGuy: Mitsuhiko has shown to be a consistently polite young man. Due to his strict and formal upbringing by his parents, he tends to be very formal towards his elders, addressing them (in Japanese) with the formal suffix "-san" without regard to the intimacy of their relationship.
* PrecociousCrush: Like Ayumi, Mitsuhiko has a crush on someone who is older than him but doesn't look it. In his case, it's Haibara who is an adult woman shrunken by the same pill that put Conan in his current form.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The thoughtful, organized Sensitive Guy to Genta's loud, tough Manly Man.
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler:Him secretly filming Ai as Shiho after the latter took the antidote to save the Detective Boys from a burning Cabin and sending the video to Kogoro to find her again leads to the Black Organization catching wind of Shiho still being alive and the events of the Mystery Train arc.]]
* WiseBeyondHisYears: It can be argued that Mitsuhiko acts quite sharp and clever for his age. One episode even has ''HIM'' solving the case!
* YouthfulFreckles: Notable the only Detective Boy who has this.

!!Friends of Shinichi and Ran
[[folder:Dr. Hiroshi Agasa]]
!!Hiroshi Agasa
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenichiOgata (JP), Bill Flynn (EN, Creator/{{Funimation}})/ Michael Sorich (EN, TMS[=/=][[Creator/BangZoomEntertainment Bang Zoom]]), Creator/KazunariTanaka [Youth] (JP), Guillermo Romano (first Latin American Spanish dub), Jaime Vega (second Latin American Spanish dub, movies 1 and 2 only), Mario Santander (third Latin American Spanish dub), Tasio Alonso (first European Spanish dub), Javier Amilibia (second European Spanish dub, first part), Salvador Serrano (second European Spanish dub, second part and movies), Ryosei Tayama (Live-Action Drama Actor)

[[quoteright:185:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/.png]]

Shinichi's next door neighbor who makes a living developing odd inventions; some of which are put to use by Shinichi throughout the series. Shinichi appears to have the utmost trust in him, having no problem of revealing his identity to Agasa only moments after being shrunk by the APTX-4869 pill.

Later on, most of his appearances amount to playing the adult who looks after the Detective Boys, becoming the unintentional guardian of Ai Haibara (aka Shiyo Miyano) when said character shows up at Shinichi's doorstep, and providing insight for Shinichi to help combat the Black Organization.

During most cases that involve the Detective Boys, Shinichi will force Agasa into the spotlight to explain the case at hand.

[[ThemeNaming Mandatory Naming Note]]: "Agasa" is the {{Engrish}} pronunciation of ''Agatha'' Christie.[[labelnote:Phonological Note]]UsefulNotes/JapaneseLanguage lack the [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_dental_fricative Voiceless Dental Frictive consonant]], i.e. the "th" sound. They pronounce the "th" as "s."[[/labelnote]]

DubNameChange: Hershel Agasa.
----
* AbsentMindedProfessor: Most Triumphant Japanese Example.
* BadassBookworm: While Professor Agasa doesn't engage in any violence in the series, he ''does'' create all of Conan's helpful and amazing gadgets.
* BigFancyHouse: The mansion located next to the just-as-big Kudo home.
* BigFun: A chubby old man with a heart of gold and a cheerful disposition.
* BigOlEyebrows: Has thick, square-shaped eyebrows.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: His number one talent is inventing.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The early volumes try to play up Dr. Agasa as a BunglingInventor, with Shinichi saying ''to his face'' that his lab's turned out nothing but junk. Later volumes? Intelligence agents flat-out admit he's making toys [=MI6=] could only dream of, and everyone ([[NoHeroToHisValet except Ai]]) treats him with unflinching respect.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Fusae, but it's {{downplayed}} given that while they were each other's FirstLove they haven't made any progress in their relationship in a romantic fashion.
* EinsteinHair: Matches perfectly with his inventing skills.
* FirstLove: To his childhood friend, Fusae.
* FriendToAllChildren: Frequently takes the Detective Boys out for fun.
* GadgeteerGenius: He made Conan all those [[strike:assistive technology]] gadgets.
* HerrDoktor: Drives a German car, a Käfer. In the dub, he has a German accent.
%%* NiceGuy: One of the nicest in the series.
* NoNameGiven: Averted, but not with a bit of AssPull. His given name, given as Hiroshi only later on, is an AlternateCharacterReading of ''Hakase'', the Japanese term for the title of Doctor, while devoid of the latter's connotations.
* OlderSidekick: To Shinichi. Despite being significantly older than the teenage Shinichi, Agasa often follows the young one's lead.
* OnlyFriend: He was this to his childhood friend, Fusae Campbell Kinoshita; he was the only one among their peers who didn't viciously tease her about her {{mixed ancestry}}.
* ParentalSubstitute:
** Acts as a sort-of, second father-figure towards Shinichi, to a degree. His parents are still alive, but live in New York.
** Even moreso for Haibara, who lives in his house and unlike Shinichi, no longer has any real family. She grows to love him like a real father and often tries to protect him above anyone else. He's even her cellphone background picture! [[spoiler: It turns out he knew her dead parents.]]
* RunningGag: In the movies, there's always a scene dedicated to him coming up with a quiz for the Detective Boys that usually have answers that are silly homo-phonic puns, much to Conan and Haibara's chagrin.
* SecretKeeper: With the distinction of being the first person ''ever'' who found out about Shinichi shrinking into a child, who later became "Conan Edogawa".
* ShipperOnDeck: Ships Shinichi/Ran.
* SmartBall: Pocketed it. Shinichi said he never invented anything useful right in the beginning, yet he eventually became one of the most GadgeteerGenius in anime [[AssPull without any further explanation]] (to the point where ''actual secret agents'' express jealousy at his skills). That being said, several of his inventions still do malfunction from time to time, but those are few and far between.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: Sports circular glasses and is a brilliant inventor.
* StarCrossedLovers: [[spoiler:With Fusae Campbell Kinoshita -- She disappeared one day when they were children and when they meet up again, PoorCommunicationKills comes again when Fusae lies about having a husband because she ''thought'' the Detective Boys were his grandchildren and that he didn't remember her; however, Agasa tells her in his own way that he ''never'' forgot her. And then she leaves for mysterious reasons, thinking she won't see him again for another 10 years.]]
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Agasa has a special love for pasta.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's 53-years-old, but you wouldn't know that just be looking at him. You could easily mistake him for being somewhere in his 70s.

[[folder:Sonoko Suzuki]]
!!Sonoko Suzuki

[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/28_detective_conan_sonoko_4.jpg]]

The love-seeking daughter of a very rich family, and Ran's best friend. On rare occasions, mostly from cases that involves just her and Ran, Shinichi will put Sonoko to sleep, and talk as her in a manner similar to how he uses Kogoro as the scapegoat for explaining the case at hand.

She eventually gains an actual boyfriend in the form of an international karate champion, Makoto Kyogoku, but still finds time to flirt with other men (Kaitou Kid in particular) to compensate for the fact that she can't handle being in a long-distance relationship.

DubNameChange: Serena Sebastian.
----
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Downplayed. In the earlier parts of the manga and anime, Sonoko was an avid [[ShippingTorpedo anti-shipper]] for Shinichi and Ran, often trying to find a suitor for the latter before supporting them. However, in the ''Episode One'' special, Sonoko still keeps her JerkWithAHeartOfGold personality, but starts off as a ShipperOnDeck for the couple from the get go.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: {{Subverted|Trope}}. While she's a big fan of [[PhantomThief Kaitou Kid]], it doesn't go anywhere deep and she's already in [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan love]] with [[GentleGiant Makoto.]]
* AlliterativeName: '''S'''onoko '''S'''uzuki. Also counts with her dubbed name ('''S'''erena '''S'''ebastian).
* AloneWithThePsycho: At least twice.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Sonoko is nearly ''obsessed'' with handsome men and is in a relationship with one, but some of her dialogue towards Ran implies she may like her or at finds her attractive. And in a non-canon OAV, Sonoko gives Kazuha a kiss on the cheek during their karaoke session.
* BewareTheSillyOnes: The girl's a GenkiGirl who borders on BrainlessBeauty, but she strongly believes in those she cares for and even if she can't fight like Ran does, she'll do what she can to protect them ''and she'll expect you to appreciate your loved ones too''.
* BrainlessBeauty: Borderline case. She's a pretty but ditzy rich girl.
* BullyHunter: As a child, Sonoko used to defend Ran from bullies.
* ButtMonkey: She really has extraordinarily bad luck at times.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Sonoko was avid in finding a man better than Shinichi for Ran, believing he wasn't good enough for her. A few chapters/episodes later, and she is teasingly calling them "husband and wife".
* ChildhoodFriends: She has known both Ran and Shinichi since they were all four-years-old.
* ClingyJealousGirl: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. It's not shown a lot (unlike with Ran and Kazuha), but in a few cases, she's shown to send Makoto gifts[[note]]Normally bought off the shelves, but if time permits, she would hand make her gifts to show more value weight.[[/note]] ahead of other girls because she fears Makoto may potentially be taken away by other women through exploiting [[NiceGuy his]] [[BigBrotherInstinct sincerity]].
* DamselInDistress: Catches the DistressBall more than once.
* FakeUltimateHero: Gets a bit of this treatment due to the fact that she's the most common person Conan knocks out and solves cases through when Kogoro is unavailable. As a result she's come to be thought of as a GeniusDitz in spite of the fact that she doesn't even have a fraction of Kogoro's deductive skills, let alone Conan's.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Sono'''ko''' shares a syllable with her older sister Aya'''ko''' and mother Tomo'''ko'''.
* {{Fangirl}}: Goes crazy when Kaitou Kid makes an appearance.
* TheFashionista: Especially seen in one case where Sonoko identifies the victims as belonging to the ''[[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganguro ganguro]]'' fashion sub culture upon seeing their pictures. She even distinguished ''what'' kind of ganguro they were!
* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: A downplayed example. Sonoko isn't necessarily irresponsible but she's more flighty, loud, and sillier than her older sister, Ayako.
* ForeheadOfDoom: Often noted to have a big forehead.
* HairstyleInertia: Sonoko has always had her chin-length hairstyle since childhood.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Ran Mouri's closest friend since childhood; they have always been loyal best friends who can confide in one another about their problems.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: One of her biggest desires is to have a genuine connection to people who aren't just using her for financial gain. One of her most longstanding dreams is to be able to eat ramen with her friends after school (a dream Conan noted to be quite humble for someone of her status) despite being able to eat a lot of different foods through her family.
* JerkassHasAPoint:
** In general, Sonoko may be overly harsh but she's not wrong about Shinichi's character faults.
** After Shinichi makes his LoveConfession to Ran during the London arc, the latter doesn't properly respond despite having the same feelings for him. When Ran tells Sonoko about this, the latter is peeved at her best friend and chastises her over not doing something similar at the time even though Ran has always been hoping for that moment.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: With all of her shallowness and childish fits, she really cares for Ran, Makoto, her friends and family.
* LadyAndKnight: The Lady to Makoto's Knight, though they are an informal example; Sonoko is a GenkiGirl {{Ojou}} with [[ButtMonkey very bad luck]], whereas Makoto is a karate champion with downright SuperStrength, and he has protected his "Bright Lady" just like a "White Knight" would several times.
* LongDistanceRelationship: With Makoto. This is mostly due to him being a world-ranked karate practitioner and is always travelling. The couple is also enrolled in different schools, not to mention from the school that [[TheRival rivals]] Sonoko's best friend in karate.
* OfficialCouple: With Makoto Kyogoku.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Sonoko has made it no secret that she doesn't particularly think highly of Shinichi. Therefore, when she comes to his defense after Ran fails to properly respond to his LoveConfession, you know it's serious for her.
* OppositesAttract: Sonoko (an excitable, lovey-dovey, modern gal) is [[OfficialCouple officially paired]] with Makoto (a mellow, ObliviousToLove, old-school kind of guy).
* PluckyGirl: She never ever gives up on what she wants.
* RescueRomance: Her relationship with Makoto began when he saved her from being killed by the [[MonsterOfTheWeek Villain Of The Week]], and at other times, he would come to her rescue at the perfect moment.
* {{Retcon}}: In the ''Episode One'' special, Sonoko clearly ships Shinichi and Ran together (she tells them they can date another time, calls Shinichi a noisy husband and puts a "Shinichi Love" inscription on the karate outfit which her parents and her give to Ran). And thus, her former ''anti''-shipper mentality seems to have been retconned.
* RunningGag: Her bad luck with men, until she started dating Makoto. Goes into NotFunnyAnymore in 153-154, where she goes boy-hunting in Izu (with Ran and Conan in tow)... and the attractive boy who showers her with compliments turns out to be the {{AxCrazy}} [[MonsterOfTheWeek killer of the week]], driven by a hatred for blonde girls. [[RescueRomance She is rescued by Makoto, which marks the start of their relationship.]]
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Energetic Girl (an easily emotional GenkiGirl) to Makoto's Savvy Guy (and kinda more oblivious than the average "savvy guy").
* SheIsAllGrownUp: In the ''Stranger of 10 Years Ago'' OAV, she's not only OlderAndWiser but is almost as much of a Type 1 {{Ojou}} as Ayako.
* ShipperOnDeck:
** After being an [[ShippingTorpedo antagonist]] against Shinichi/Ran, she practically refers to the couple as Husband/Wife, and about sending pictures to Shinichi regarding Ran to either make him blush or jealous.
** Sonoko later ships the HELL out of Officers Takagi and Satou. In fact, is PISSED [[http://33.media.tumblr.com/405e6dc8c0fe7c4dc35767729747024f/tumblr_n5yuxufpJV1qgf1bho7_500.gif when Conan]] [[MomentKiller interrupts]] what [[AlmostKiss could have been]] Takagi and Sato's FirstKiss...
** Sonoko believes that Conan and Ayumi would be cute together.
* ShippingTorpedo: For a long time she's a Shinichi/Ran ''anti''-shipper since [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim she believes he's not good enough for her]] and she can't stand seeing Ran suffering because of Shinichi - for all Sonoko knows he's enjoying himself while her best friend is having a bloody miserable time. She later mellows out on this.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Despite her flirty tendencies, Sonoko is only interested in [[GentleGiant Makoto]]. A [[NiceGuy polite]], [[NervesOfSteel brave]], and [[LovableJock noble]] young man. Not to mention, they started their relationship after Makoto [[RescueRomance rescued]] her from a serial killer and in subsequent appearances.
-->'''Sonoko:''' "Makoto-san is... absolutely fantastic and nice and is a good person!"
* SpoiledSweet: Sonoko is the daughter of an extremely wealthy family, and while she certainly has her quirks, she is shown to be a loyal friend, a caring girlfriend and nice to the people around her despite their much less wealthy financial status.
%%* SweetTooth
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: One may ''think'' she's Ran's girly girl and her older sister Ayako's tomboy but Ran thing is [[PlayingWithATrope more complex than that.]] Sonoko is less physically active and more boy-crazy/fashionista than Ran, but is also more outspoken and straightforward than her (Unless Ran's in tsuntsun mode, yeah.) In fact, their friendship started when ''Sonoko'' protected Ran when they were children!
* UptownGirl: Sonoko (her parents are the heads of an extremely wealthy and large company) and Makoto (was introduced working at his family's inn).
* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: {{Downplayed}}. She doesn't do anything violent, but when Inspector Yamamura begins to obnoxiously think Makoto is a suspect in a murder case, Sonoko shouts at the Inspector that Makoto isn't the murderer and continues to give Yamamura death glares when he makes veiled comments about him believing Makoto to be the culprit.

Heiji's childhood friend and love-interest who becomes close friends with Ran.

DubNameChange: Kirsten Thomas (Anime)/ Katrina Tolliver (UsefulNotes/{{Wii}}).
----
* AbortedDeclarationOfLove: Kazuha attempted to confess to Heiji in the aftermath of the Furinkazan murder mystery. She calls to him to speak privately but ultimately couldn't do it.
* ActionGirl: Aikido expert. Very helpful when par her with Ran's Karate.
* AngerBornOfWorry: Anytime she gets angry (usually at Heiji), most of the time, it's because she worries for their safety.
* BadassAdorable: She knows Aikido and is quite cute, especially when talking about Heiji.
* BadassInDistress: In the Kyoto movie, she was kidnapped and used as a bait for Heiji and Conan. Once she was released by Conan, though, they both helped Heiji in his fight.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Kazuha's initial attitude with Ran was rather frosty and standoffish because she was under the belief that Ran was romantically interested in Heiji. By their second meeting with each other, she's still frosty because Ran and Heiji, coincidentally wore the same type of outfit twice, making her [[ClingyJealousGirl jealous]]. However, the moment Kazuha explained this, Ran wordlessly took off the shirt and put on another one, surprising Kazuha at how [[NiceGirl nice]] Ran is. Afterwards, Kazuha softens up and truly befriends the other girl.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Heiji -- they have a classic SlapSlapKiss relationship and fell in love with one another at some point.
* BettyAndVeronica: The tomboyish, HotBlooded childhood friend "Betty" to Momiji's mysterious, girly, [[TheOjou ojou]] "Veronica" for Heiji's "Archie". {{Subverted|Trope}} in that the promise Heiji made with Momiji wasn't of marriage and he's already in love with Kazuha.
* BirdsOfAFeather:
** With Heiji -- both are stubborn, HotBlooded, have a strong love of Osaka, fathers are in the police force, attract a number of people from the opposite sex, and they have a strong belief in magic (though Heiji refuses to state it out aloud).
** With Ran -- Practitioners of a martial art (aikido for Kazuha, karate for Ran), afraid of the supernatural, [[FriendToAllChildren love of children]], are {{Dude Magnet}}s but [[SingleTargetSexuality only have eyes for]] [[ChildhoodFriendRomance their childhood best friend]]. And even though they can be exasperated by their love interest's detective work and occasional jerkish side, both think that whenever their "not" boyfriends solving cases look cool when doing so and [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan admire them for their better qualities as well]]. Also, both of their fathers are connected to some kind of detective/police work.
* BrutalHonesty: She is highly confrontational, and unafraid of letting others know about her dislike.
* CannotSpitItOut: [[spoiler:When she finally ''does'' get the nerve to do so (mentioning Shinichi's confession to Ran in London), Heiji rushes off to find and tease Conan before she can.]]
* ChainedHeat: With Heiji. When they were kids, they got handcuffed while playing with a pair that belonged to Heiji's policeman dad. They spent a whole a day like that, and when they were released Heiji kept an amulet made with a piece of said 'cuffs. [[spoiler:Which would later become a Pocket Protector, and save Conan from being stabbed to death.]] As teenagers, they got handcuffed together again, this time held as hostages and almost murdered for being potential witnesses.
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Heiji -- they've known each other since they were kids and now have romantic feelings for each other.
* ClingyJealousGirl: PlayedForLaughs in her first appearance where she grilled Ran (who she thought was Shinichi) about how she should treat Heiji. Her next appearance has her being jealous over Ran because she and Heiji wore the same kind of outfit twice. Needless to say, Kazuha can get easily jealous.
* DaddysGirl: Kazuha has a close relationship with her dad.
* DefrostingIceQueen: Kazuha was rather frosty towards Ran because she thought that Ran may have took an interest in Heiji (they wore the same type of shirt twice). After Ran wordlessly changed shirts to put Kazuha at ease, the Osakan girl realized how nice Ran was and they instantly became friends.
* DudeMagnet: Similar to Ran, Kazuha has many gentlemen ogling over her. And then there's [[ChildhoodFriendRomance Heiji...]]
* EmbarrassingNickname: Condescendingly nicknamed "Leafy" (Happa-chan) by Momiji.
* EverybodyHasStandards: She gave Heiji a major WhatTheHellHero moment when he cheerfully (or enthusiastically) proclaimed someone's death.
* {{Foil}}: To Ran -- Kazuha lives with both parents (her mother has yet to make an appearance), is a little affectionate, but is capable of a lot, and is classified as a Type A {{Tsundere}}. Heiji is physically with her, but their feelings for each other have yet to be spoken. Kazuha is an Aikido expert and uses her hands more when fighting; Ran lives with her father (both her parents are separated), is generally more affectionate, and is classified as a Type B {{Tsundere}}. Shinichi is not with her currently, but he's really Conan Edogawa, and because of that her romantic feelings were noticed. She is a karate expert, and implores [[KickChick a lot of kicks when fighting]].
* FriendToAllChildren: In a side OVA, Kazuha showed a great talent with nursing children and told Heiji she would like to have one someday.
* GoodLuckCharm: She considers the picture of Heiji she carries around as this.
* HairstyleInertia: Her ponytail hairstyle has been with her since childhood.
* HeroicSacrifice: When she and Heiji are hanging precariously off the edge of a cliff, she attempts one and [[spoiler: stabs him in the hand to make him let go of her. He doesn't.]]
* HeterosexualLifePartners: Becomes this with Ran over time -- They have become close friends since the second time they met and seem to regard each other as confidantes, since they are in similar romantic situations; and when Shinichi/Conan and Heiji are on cases together, Ran and Kazuha almost always spend the time together.
* HiddenDepths:
** She may not be on Heiji's level, but Kazuha was able to get his hint of a code in a murder investigation. Before that, she remembered a relatively small detail of how Ran and Heiji wore the same type of t-shirt twice, even though the time between her first and second appearance was a long one.
** The 21st movie shows that Kazuha is proficient in ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uta-garuta hyakunin issha garuta]]'', good enough to join school competitions. [[spoiler: Just like her potential love rival, Momiji Ooka.]]
* HotBlooded: Though she's more calmer in comparison with Heiji, she can still be passionate and emotional.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: In her introductory chapter/episode, Kazuha mistakenly believes that the "Kudo" person Heiji has talked about is a girl, and that girl is Ran. She acts quite hostile to Ran for [[ClingyJealousGirl obvious]] reasons, but also warns Ran to not break Heiji's heart.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Her first and second appearance has her acting cold and snippy to Ran because of her jealousy-fueled fear that Ran liked Heiji. Then, there's how her HotBlooded nature makes her more temper-y. But she is brave, loyal, and friendly, the latter of which showed more after her [[DefrostingIceQueen defrosting]].
* KansaiDialect: It's not as thick as Heiji's. It helps that her seiyuu is from Kobe.
* LoveConfession: Kazuha ''tried'' to do this and managed to carry it after the "The Design of Poison and Mirage" case, but Heiji left to go tease Conan about him making his own love confession to Ran as Shinichi.
-->"Ya might have already heard this from Kudo-kun, but... In London, apparently Kudo-kun confessed his feelings to Ran-chan. That's why, though I wouldn't have said this... The truth is... The truth is, I also... Since a long time ago... I... I LIKE YA VERY MUCH!"
* MusclesAreMeaningless: Can effortlessly toss larger criminals with ease.
* ProtectiveCharm: They aren't real since the genre of the series doesn't include "magic", but Kazuha has a marked belief in spirits, good-luck charms, and other superstitions. Right from her first experience, she displayed her belief in the importance of hers and Heiji's omamori, charms which Kazuha made to protect her and Heiji from harm. A later case shows that Kazuha and her mother (but Kazuha even more so) are apparently well-known in Osaka thanks to the good-luck charms they make, said to be ''very'' effective good luck magnets for their owners.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: Pale skin with raven hair.
* RedOniBlueOni: The HotBlooded, temperamental Red Oni to Ran's calmer, sensitive Blue Oni.
* SailorFuku: Her and Heiji's school in Osaka also favors the seifuku (also a dark blue one) and the gakuran, and they show up wearing them at the start of the Desperate Revival arc.
* SheCleansUpNicely: Invoked on her in the seventh movie. [[spoiler: In a subversion, this happened to her years ago, when she was a little girl visiting her family in Kyoto and they put her in a fancy kimono. Then little Heiji saw her under the CherryBlossoms...]]
* ShipperOnDeck: She ships Shinichi and Ran.
* {{Shorttank}}: Her usual outfit.
* SingleTargetSexuality: [[{{Foil}} In a reverse situation from Shinichi and Ran]], it was Kazuha who realized her feelings for Heiji before he did and has never looked at another guy.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Kazuha is in love with her childhood best friend [[AmateurSleuth Heiji]] [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold Hattori]]. To reiterate, Kazuha loves the Osakan detective who has a strong sense of justice and has proven to her time and again that he will do anything to protect her, including get into a brawl.
* SlapSlapKiss: Her whole dynamic with Heiji -- They argue and call each other idiot, but they have a deep connection and love each other dearly.
* SpannerInTheWorks: Whenever Heiji has a plan that involves him dressing up as someone else. She knows him ''that'' well.
* {{Tomboy}}: More so than Ran. Kazuha's way of dressing ranges from shirt and jeans to (though rarely) dresses.
* TomboyishPonytail: Her trademark hairstyle.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: While Kazuha is more tomboyish than Ran, she does love romance and has a thing for the theatre.
* TookALevelInKindness: By the end of her second appearance, Kazuha went from acting coldly to Ran to becoming one of her two {{heterosexual life partners}}.
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A this time, meaning she's more temper-y than Ran.
* {{Tuckerization}}: Her first name comes from one of Aoyama's assistants.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Like Ran, Kazuha has an intense fear over the supernatural.

!!Yusaku Kudo
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/HideyukiTanaka (JP), Randy Tallman, Creator/JohnSwasey (EN, Creator/{{Funimation}}) / Creator/KeithSilverstein (EN, TMS[=/=][[Creator/BangZoomEntertainment Bang Zoom]]), Juan Zadala and Roberto Alexander (first Latin American Spanish dub), Jorge Lillo (third Latin American Spanish dub), Luis Grau (second European Spanish dub, first part)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/infobox___yusaku_kudo.jpg]]

Famous mystery writer and Shinichi's father. He lives with his wife Yukiko in Los Angeles, but he and Yukiko drop by regularly to check on Shinichi. [[spoiler:As of chapter 1007 (anime episode 942), he and his wife have returned to Japan to monitor the situation and live with Subaru Okiya in Shinichi's house]].

[[ThemeNaming Mandatory naming note]]: Yusaku's name comes from Shunsaku Kudo (protagonist of the TV Drama Tantei Monogatari aka Detective Tales) and actor Yusaku Matsuda (who portrayed Shunsaku Kudo).

DubNameChange: ''Booker'' Kudo.
----
* AffectionateNickname: "Yu-chan" by his wife, Yukiko.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Among the few who can outsmart Shinichi/Conan on a regular basis.
* AmateurSleuth: In his youth, Yusaku would solve cases.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Yusaku possesses a very sharp intellect and observation skills, traits which his son inherited, though Yusaku's own abilities remain more well-honed. He demonstrates in multiple cases an ability to operate one step ahead of both Shinichi and criminals, but he chooses to not get involved unless Conan appears unable solve the case alone in time to save the intended victim.
* BadassBookworm: Knows as much trivial info as his son, or even more.
* BadassMustache: Has a pretty cool mustache.
* BadassPacifist: In the "North Star #3 Express Leaving Ueno" mystery, Yusaku was able to get the culprit to surrender to the police without having to resort to any violence.
* BrilliantButLazy: He is supposed to be an even better detective than his son and has even outsmarted him a couple of times, he'd just rather work as a writer instead. His relationship with Shinichi is a very clear ShoutOut to Literature/SherlockHolmes and his older brother Mycroft.
* FamedInStory: Yusaku is famous for his mystery novel series, ''Night Baron''.
* {{Fanboy}}: His love of Sherlock Holmes is briefly explored in the non-canon 6th movie, ''The Phantom of Baker Street'', wherein Yusaku and Agasa helped develop one of the Cocoon VR modules as 19th Century London and included Holmes, Watson, and Irene Adler as non-playable characters modeled visually after Yusaku, Agasa, and Yukiko, respectively.
* GreatDetective: Yusaku has helped solve some of Megure's cases in the past and has been known to be faster at deduction than his son.
* GuileHero: He's good at catching criminals because writing complicated and engaging novels from a villain's POV gives him insight on details and human psyche.
* HappilyMarried: He and Yukiko are in a more stable marriage that Kogoro and Eri.
* InsufferableGenius: Yusaku knows he's a ''very'' smart man and constantly reminds everyone, or at least Shinichi.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Can be pretty insensitive and an InsufferableGenius sometimes, but still a decent man overall. Oh well, LikeFatherLikeSon.
* MeaningfulName:
** His first name translates to, "make abundance"; Yusaku is a world famous novelist who owns a BigFancyHouse.
** Yusaku's DubNameChange to '''Book'''er, given his love of reading and that his job is a mystery novelist.
* MellowFellow: He is very laid back and calm, never seen to lose his temper.
* MysteryWriterDetective: He writes the popular ''Night Baron'' stories.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Not to the same prominent extent as his wife, nor the extreme extent as his son, but still present. [[spoiler:Though his son encounters the new Kaitou KID by complete coincidence within the plot, Kaito's father was one of Yuusaku's best friends and Yuusaku's wife's mentor.]]
* OpenMindedParent: He has a very laissez-faire style when it comes to parenting Shinichi, even more so than Yukiko. For example, he often took his son to crime scenes before Shinichi was eleven, and showed no concern over six-year-old Shinichi dragging Ran and Agasa into a potentially dangerous area of town to investigate a code. This is briefly deconstructed in the latter incident, since his son and another child (a young Ran in this case) could've been harmed and the latter's parent (Eri) was justifiably angry at Shinichi's parents for being so lax.
* ParentalNeglect: When Shinichi was a young teen, he and his wife left Japan to jetset around the globe, leaving their son behind to take care of himself. They've continued this into the present, although the situation with Black Org seems to have begun to encourage more direct involvement in their son's life.
* TheProfiler: {{Implied|Trope}}. The reason his ''Night Baron'' novels are so popular is because of his ability to get inside the mind of a criminal.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: The Savvy Guy (a cool-minded, InsufferableGenius who nevertheless loves Yukiko dearly) to Yukiko's Energetic Girl (a grown-up GenkiGirl who loves Yusaku back but sometimes is quite {{tsundere}} towards him).
* SecretKeeper: He, along with Yukiko, know about Conan's true identity.
* ShipperOnDeck: He teases Shinichi about his obvious love for Ran.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Even with his mild flirting to other women, Yuusaku has only had eyes for Yukiko. There's also how he modeled "Irene Adler" after Yukiko in the third movie; in the mystery game Yusuaku was Franchise/SherlockHolmes and Irene Adler was Holmes's one and true love.
* SlapSlapKiss: With Yukiko, at their worst. She'll run away from him due to his insensitivity, he'll brusquely tell her to come back, and she'll oblige in a {{Tsundere}}-like manner.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He sports glasses and is sharper than his son.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: [[http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/File:Young_Yusaku.jpg Here is Yusaku in his 20's, sans-moustache and glasses.]] The similarities between Dad and Shinichi went off the freaking ''ceiling'' with that.
%%* TallDarkAndSnarky
* TeenGenius: Yeah, LikeFatherLikeSon in ''this'' too as Yusaku would start solving cases when he was roughly Shinichi's age.
* WackyMarriageProposal: While in a restaurant with his future wife, Yukiko, a murder occurred. Yusaku solved the case brilliantly in front of her and then when it was resolved, he asked for her to be his wife, which she accepted. His son, Shinichi, would attempt this with his love, Ran, but fail on his part.
* WackyParentSeriousChild: He and Yukiko are both more laid back than their more serious son. It's downplayed in that while they their lifestyle may annoy him, they both know when to get serious.

DubNameChange: ''Vivian'' Kudo.
----
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: She's quite..... unique and hyperactive, to say the least.
* AttentionWhore: Like her son, she loves to be in the spotlight.
* BadassDriver: The New York case has Yukiko show off her impressive, if illegal, driving skills.
* BerserkButton:
** Do ''not'' allude to her age! Or even call her "auntie"!
** If you're Yusaku, do ''not'' flirt with women in front of her!
* BewareTheSillyOnes: Yukiko may be a bit of a ditz, but she's no slouch when it comes to action.
* BikerBabe: Catsuit included.
* ClingyJealousGirl: A married variant. One of her {{berserk button}}s is her husband flirting with other women. At one point, it upset her so much she flew back to Japan to teach him a lesson!
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: As air-headed and ditzy as she is, she's also an accomplished actor, who can fool just about anyone.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Either in a car or her motorcycle, Yukiko pulls some dangerous, illegal stunts.
* DudeMagnet: Was and still is flirted by many men.
* FamedInStory: She is a retired actress.
* FriendlyRivalry: She and Eri, despite not being in similar fields, were classmates and often engage in friendly competition.
* FriendlyScheming: Being at the same time a loving mother, a very mischievous person, and a MasterOfDisguise, Yukiko is really fond of playing those on Shinichi (the most prominent example being "Conan Edogawa Kidnapping Case"; though this time it was Yusaku's idea, so that Conan could realize the dangers of detective work and reunite with his parents in America).
* TheGadfly: She loves to tease.
* HappilyMarried: She and Yusaku are in a more stable marriage that Kogoro and Eri.

* IdolSinger: Before marrying Yusaku, she was a famous teen actress and beauty queen.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While not on the same jerk-level as her [[InsufferableGenius husband]] and [[FirstPersonSmartass son]], she does have a certain amount of immaturity and attention seeking nature. However, when the stakes are high she's able to show her bravery and loyalty.
* LetsGetDangerous: Usually acts quite childish, unless she needs to be serious.
* MasterOfDisguise: She has NOT lost her acting skills after retirement.

* OjouRinglets: She has the three prominent ones.
* OneOfTheKids: Yukiko's childish nature makes her get along well with children.
* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Yukiko is ''very'' prone to this. [[spoiler:Though her son encounters the new Kaitou KID by complete coincidence within the plot, Kaito's father was Yukiko's mentor. Also, though Shinichi encountering the Black Org was equally a complete coincidence, Yukiko's fellow student during that same mentorship was the Black Org assassin who targets Haibara during her introduction arc.]]
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness:She tends to refer to her friends and family with a "-chan" suffix. So, in her (and Yusaku's) introductory chapter/episode, she at first uses her son's AffectionateNickname ("Shin-chan") when she and husband were trying to convince him to come overseas with them to be safer from the Black Organization. When Shinichi refuses to do so, telling them both to stay away since it's his case, Yukiko calls him by his full first name, no suffix, and while using a completely serious voice.
* OpenMindedParent: Not as much as Yusaku, but Yukiko is fairly open-minded about letting her shrunken son reside in his best friend/love interest's home to investigate the men who tried to murder him.
* ParentalNeglect: When Shinichi was a young teen, she and her husband left Japan to jetset around the globe, leaving their son behind to take care of himself.

* SecretKeeper: One of few people who knows Conan is Shinichi.
* ShipperOnDeck: For Shinichi and Ran. She even refers Ran as her future daughter-in-law! Needless to say, this caused Ran to blush. Interestingly enough, she also ships Shinichi and Ai, but that just may be her teasing her son.
* SlapSlapKiss: With Yusaku, at their worst. She'll run away from him due to his insensitivity, he'll brusquely tell her to come back, and she'll oblige in a {{Tsundere}}-like manner.
* TheTrickster: Very much so; see FriendlyScheming.
* {{Tsundere}}: Specially seen in a certain two-parter where it turns out she came to Japan alone after a fight with Yusaku. Once they get involved in a case which Yusaku resolves, cue to her hilariously refusing to come back to the USA with him.
* UndyingLoyalty: Yukiko is extremely loyal and cares for both her husband and her son (though a heavy streak of mischief causes her to often tease Shinichi). Her loyalty extends to her friends, as she thinks nothing of flying across the Pacific to help a friend from elementary school.

* AwesomenessByAnalysis: Eri is highly intelligent and has a sharp eye for details. She has proven on more than one occasion that she can lend a big helping hand in cases, and her deductions are almost always accurate.
* BadassBookworm: Eri is one of the most skilled lawyers in the series and her deductions are very helpful in cases.
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Kogoro. They are a ''married couple'' and argue to hide the fact that they want to live with one another again.
* BrainyBrunette: She has light brown hair and one of smartest adult in the series. She is shown to be a rather competent detective as well - which is why she makes a great lawyer!
* CantLiveWithThemCantLiveWithoutThem: With Kogoro. At one point, Kogoro even outright states that he cannot bear being separated from Eri and asks her to come back, but she pretends she didn't hear him because she's not ready yet. She ALMOST came back for Kogoro in ''The Day That Mouri Kogoro Ceased Being Detective''. Thanks to [[AbhorrentAdmirer Sayuri Tokomae]] however...
* ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Kogoro. They have known each other since elementary school and are now married, if estranged.
* DamselOutOfDistress: She put up quite a fight before and after she was kidnapped, to the point of alerting her family to locate her. The only reason that she was unable to escape is because the kidnappers outnumbered her and had a taser.

* HighSchoolSweethearts: With Kogoro -- They have a ChildhoodFriendRomance which included going to the same high school together before marrying at the age of 20.
* LethalChef: The real (and pathetic) reason why she separated with Kogoro; the guy is just too honest to tell her that her cooking sucks without giving a damn for what she feels. [[spoiler: He actually wanted to force her to go to bed after a ShootTheHostage situation that had ''her'' as the hostage and Kogoro as the one shooting, but she tried to cook for him despite having been wounded, [[PoorCommunicationKills and well]]...]]
* OmnidisciplinaryLawyer: The series never clarify what is her specialization were. "Kisaki SOS" arc seems to indicate that her law firm is "Door Lawyers" type. She has shown to take cases from divorce to domestic abuse and murder.

%%* MsFanservice
* NiceGirl: Despite her friction with Kogoro, Eri ''does'' love him. Besides that, she's a consistently polite person.
* ParentsAsPeople:
** Eri deeply loves Ran, but her stubbornness in returning home because of her friction with Kogoro doesn't help out her daughter. Her hurt and anger at Kogoro also make her badmouthing Kogoro in front of Ran.
** It's also implied that Eri is too focused on her career to be the primary caretaker for Ran given that Ran is living with Kogoro.
* PrimAndProperBun: Her usual hairstyle except in some flashbacks when she was younger. Otherwise, she has a serious and poise air around her that matches her bun.
* RapunzelHair: While she usually keeps her hair in a bun, when her hair was let down during one case, it was shown her hair reaches to her waist.
* RedBaron: Known as "The Queen of the Courtroom", owing to her track record as a defense lawyer. Recall 99% of all prosecutions in Japan are convicted, which means the best defense lawyers in real-life Japan would win once every several ''years''.
* ShippingTorpedo: {{Downplayed|Trope}}. Eri doesn't actively try to wane Ran's love for Shinichi, but she has often advised her to give up on him.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Whatever she may say, Eri has only ever romantically loved Kogoro Mouri.
* SmartPeopleWearGlasses: See her TeenGenius section and the fact that she has never lost a case in her entire career.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: All of Ran's physical good looks came from Eri.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: She's a cold {{tsundere}} to Kogoro, but can show him her warmer side.
* TeenGenius: She was one of the national top scorers when she was in high school, and actually turned down an offer to go to Harvard ''because'' of Kogoro.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Eri likes Zigoba, a brand of Swiss chocolates.
* {{Tsundere}}: She vehemently claims to hate the drunkard, gambling and womanizing Kogoro but she still wears her wedding ring and keeps on listening to his recorded voice on the Walkman asking her to come home and start over. She even named her pet cat "Goro" after him. In fact, she is always ready to come back to him once he quits his vices and starts to act like a responsible husband... but this IS Kogoro we're talking about.
