Shinichi, Ran and Sonoko's old sempai, and apparently Shinichi's first love. She invites them to a karaoke party to celebrate her birthday, but then the encounter goes sour as a fire breaks in and Asami, who's taking a nap since she doesn't feel well, almost dies...
----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Ran thinks this way about her, though she doesn't hate her one bit.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: {{Inverted|Trope}}. At first, Shinichi was just an extraordinary soccer player to her, but one day she brought some handmade lemon pie so the team could eat. Unlike the other members who pretended the lemon pie was delicious, Shinichi point-blankly said they were terrible. She then decided to bring him every lemon pie she made until he said it was truly delicious. And, at some point, she fell for him.
* BrokenAce: She is very smart, very popular, VERY beautiful... In fact, when she's introduced she has already won both a literary contest ''and'' a beauty one, beating at least three sempais of hers to the punch. But never mind her accomplishments, she has a perpetually sad air around her. Not to mention, she has yet to get over her feelings for her FirstLove, Shinichi.
* CuteSportsClubManager: Of the soccer team in Shinichi, Ran and Sonoko's junior high.
* DrivenToSuicide: {{Averted|Trope}}. This trope is discussed by Kogoro and the police as one of the possible causes for what happened to her, but it isn't correct.

* LoveConfession: It's not officially shown, but she confessed her love to Shinichi back when she was still in their middle school.
* LoveHurts: She loved Shinichi, but he rejected her love declaration. Her friend and sempai Sawai loved her, but she didn't return his feelings. Then, Sawai drugged her and caused a fire [[RescueRomance to try being her]] KnightInShiningArmor. [[TheWoobie Ouch, poor Asami]].

----
* AntiVillain: Not a bad person, but still a SerialKiller.
* DrivenToSuicide: Tries to shoot himself in the head when found out. Heiji struggles with him and manages to stop him... at the cost of being shot.
* LoveMakesYouEvil: The love for his father drove him to kill the ones responsible for the DeadlyPrank that murdered him.
* KnightTemplar: Views himself as such. [[ShutUpHannibal Heiji disagrees]].
* SerialKiller: He killed four people, and was planning to kill two more and use the last one as a scapegoat.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks a lot like his late father. [[spoiler: Actually a huge plot point: seeing him caused Numabuchi a VillainousBSOD that let Yusuke learn what happened to Inaba... and then seeing Inaba's picture lets Conan and Heiji identify him as the real culprit.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He bears a surprising number of similarities to [[spoiler: Seiji Asoh from the previous arc. Both lost their fathers years ago and go by a different name than their birth name to avoid being connected to their fathers' deaths. When they confronted one of the people who killed their father the culprit revealed what happened and both Seiji and Yusuke decided to kill everyone responsible and frame the last victim as the culprit who then committed suicide.

The character that drives the {{backstory}} of the ''12 Million Hostages'' story arc. Former member of the bomb squad, he was later transferred to the criminal team because of his ThatOneCase-- and it was ''him'' who became [[spoiler:another painful ThatOneCase]] for Sato.
----
* BrutalHonesty: Flashbacks show that he spoke out his mind no matter what anybody would think.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: In the non-serial movie ''The Darkest Nightmare'', Tooru Amuro reveals that he learned how to defuse a bomb from Matsuda himself, and is instrumental in stopping a bomb planted by the Black Organization which, coincidentally, is placed on yet another ferris wheel.]]
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:To Sato, via text -- "I kinda like you"]].
* FirstLove: For Sato. [[spoiler: Sort-of TheLostLenore later.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He is a smoker, [[SmokingIsCool and looks damn cool while at it.]]
* TheLostLenore: To Sato. He died in an HeroicSacrifice to thwart the plans of a MadBomber. Sato herself is revealed to be deeply, ''deeply'' traumatised by his death, to the point of believing herself to be afflicted of a CartwrightCurse when her prospect SecondLove Takagi also almost falls victim to similar deals. It's only when the MadBomber is properly captured (and Takagi convinces her to not ''kill'' him right there) that she can finally move on.
* NervesOfSteel: Despite his personal interest in the case which eventually claimed his life, Matsuda remained cool and professional, placing the safety of Sato (for whom he had come to care as well) and innocents over his own life -- [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan qualities which had won Sato's heart.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: He was already dead for 3 years when he was first mentioned.
* TheResenter: In ''Wild Police Story'', it's revealed he had a heavy grudge against the police [[spoiler:due to his boxer father being innocently arrested for murder, leading to him to miss an important match and becoming an alcoholic.]]

The "Detective of the South" in the ''Detectives' Koshien'' arc. She's from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuoka Fukuoka]], a big town in the southern island of Kyushu.
----
* AmateurSleuth: One of the more famous High School Student Detectives. [[spoiler:She ''was'', but she's no longer a high schooler.]]
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Her murder of Tokitsu is very sympathetic since it was his erroneous deduction that got her friend arrested which led to her suicide. What also helped make her more sympathetic is how Tokitsu didn't care about the fact he sentenced an innocent person to jail, but more about his reputation.]]
* {{Bifauxnen}}: No wonder the guys, save for Tokitsu, simply assumed that she was a boy too [[GenderReveal until they saw her]] [[SailorFuku in a girly school uniform]].
* {{Bokukko}}: Besides her {{bifauxnen}} appearance, another reason the guys (sans Tokitsu, who already met her before) mistook her for a guy was her use of male pronouns. [[spoiler: Subverted as soon as she's uncovered as Tokitsu's killer, she switches to the more gender-neutral ''watashi'', apparently feeling that she's too bloodstained to use ''boku'' anymore as it was a symbol of her youthful innocence.]]
* BrokenBird: [[spoiler: She was deeply, ''deeply'' affected by the death of Kana, and planned to kill the one responsible for it.]]
* FearOfThunder: [[spoiler: Subverted, she was faking it.]]
* GenderBlenderName: While "Natsuki" is mostly known as a girl's name, it's actually for both genders.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: Quietly tuned herself in after she was exposed for being the murderer and her plan failed to have all of them starve to death on the island.]]
* HasAType: Apparently, Natsuki likes hot-blooded guys.
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Invoked. Natsuki wore huge earphones in the beginning, which confused the others and made them think she didn't want to speak too much to them. [[spoiler: She actually used them to hide her pierced ears, which would let others know she wasn't a highschooler anymore (Japanese schools are ''very'' strict about dress codes and often prohibit the use of any piercings, earrings included). She later hid them with her hair when she couldn't use the 'phones anymore.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: Is already 20 but looks young for her age. She exploits it to try fitting in the group better and not raise any eyebrows.]]
* RedBaron: "Detective of the South".
* SailorFuku: Hers is light blue, with white scarf/collar and black socks. It's also depicted realistically, with a long skirt below the knee.
* SympatheticMurderer: [[spoiler: Killed fellow AmateurSleuth Tokitsu, as he insisted that the dead socialite was killed (He had been fooled by a "closed room trick" performed by a thief ''after'' the murder, believing it to have been performed by the murderer.) This led to the suicide of the only suspect, Natsuki's friend Kana.]]
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Hakuba, Heiji and Conan didn't know that the ''very'' tomboyish Natsuki was a girl, and [[http://www.mangareader.net/139-8610-10/detective-conan/chapter-563.html they only found out]] when they saw her in [[SailorFuku a seifuku uniform]].
-->'''Heiji''': T-that guy's a girl?!

The "Detective of the North" in the ''Detectives' Koshien'' arc. He's born in Tokyo and raised in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokkaido Hokkaido]], a huge island in northern Japan.
----
* AmateurSleuth: One of the more famous High Schooler Detectives.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: While he didn't ''intentionally'' drive Natsuki's friend Kana Mizoguchi to kill herself, he showed no remorse about it and was more worried about his reputation. No wonder Natsuki got pissed and killed him.]]
* BlindingBangs: [[spoiler: Had these in the anime flashbacks.]]
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: What he thought of the case in the manor. [[spoiler: [[BewareTheHonestOnes Too bad he said that in front of the suicidal suspect's best friend]]. [[KarmicDeath Enjoy being bludgeoned to death, buddy]].]]
* DrivenToSuicide: Not ''him'', but 50 culprits in the 300 cases he's resolved. [[spoiler: One of them just so happened to be Natsuki's close friend.]]
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: [[spoiler: In the anime flashbacks.]]
* RedBaron: "Detective of the North".
* SmugSnake: He constantly tried to make himself look humble despite his ''lack'' of humility, and it made him look rather unlikeable instead.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: The tallest of the high school Detective, with long dark hair and quite the snarky behavior.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed: [[spoiler:While he's the victim of the arc and Natsuki killed them, she is considerably more sympathetic since it was his erroneous deduction that got her friend jailed, and ''then'' showed no concern about said friend's suicide, only his reputation. Even the other detectives of the arc, who can all be considerably arrogant and/or insensitive, are nowhere near his level.]]

An old friend of Wataru Takagi, and his deceased BigBrotherMentor. [[spoiler: Apparently a friend of Tooru Amuro, too.]]
----
* BigBrotherMentor: For Takagi, who Date was assigned to a police mentor towards -- Date even nicknamed them as the "Wataru Brothers". [[spoiler: Including the [[MentorOccupationalHazard typical death part]], sadly.]]
* BigOlEyebrows: Huge and thick black eyebrows.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: This, too. Takagi [[spoiler: and Amuro]] had made no mention of him until this case.
* LookBothWays: [[spoiler:He didn't do this while trying to retrieve his notepad, got hit by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel of his car, and ended up dead for his trouble.]]
* LoveHurts: It hurts so much in his case, that [[spoiler: his girlfriend Natalie crossed the DespairEventHorizon after identifying his corpse and [[DrivenToSuicide hung herself]].]]
* OneSteveLimit: He and Takagi had the same first name (albeit written in different characters), and Date referred to the two as the "Wataru brothers". [[spoiler: [[ExploitedTrope A plot point]]: Fuemoto mistook Takagi for the already dead Date and put him in the DeathTrap he had staged for him, not knowing that his target had kicked it.]]
* OralFixation: He often had a toothpick in his mouth.
* PosthumousCharacter: Is already dead before the main story, and has been for at very least two years.

[[quoteright:183:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hiroki_sawada.jpg]]
->''Voiced by Creator/AiOrikasa (JP) / Creator/MaxeyWhitehead (EN)''
From the NonSerialMovie ''Phantom of Baker Street''. [[spoiler: He is Noah's Ark.]]
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: {{Subverted}}, if not {{deconstructed}}. While he is young (10) and bears as much adult responsibility (being a master programmer) as for the norm of this trope, he is portrayed as an angsty character. That does not prevent some fans from portraying him per the norm of this trope, though.
* AuthorAvatar: Often suspected to be one towards the movie's writer Hisashi Nozawa, not helped by the fact Nozawa himself committed suicide about 1.5 years after the movie screened.
* BarefootSuicide: His death is implied this way.
* {{Bishounen}}: At 10, he's a kid edition, but he does have the looks for it.
* BrainUploading: He pretty much coded his entire brain as Noah's Ark before his suicide. In the entire movie nobody even questioned whether Noah's Ark ''is'' Hiroki.
* ChildProdigy: [[spoiler:{{Deconstructed}}. This poor kid's life ''sucked'' because he was one.]]
* DeusAngstMachina: Consider all tropes surrounding him, and consider his age. ''Everyone'' would have reached their DespairEventHorizon.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: What is being said is the immediate reason for his death is because he found out Schneider was the direct descendant of UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.
* HeroicSacrifice: his self-destruction at the end of this movie was that an AI of that complexity is too early for this world and would easily be controled by the bad guys.
* IllBoy: While this has not been further expounded about, it certainly does not help with his social issues. [[spoiler: But it's not what takes his life.]]
* ImprobableAge: [[spoiler: Remember, he's ''studying grad school in MIT'' and ''written two marketable, major pieces of software'' at ''10 years old'', it's pretty {{exaggerated}}. Of course, this is also a {{deconstruction}}, as he has huge ''emotional'' problems because of it.]]
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: A pretty [[TearJerker tear jerking]] example as this was not because of his failure to connect with others. In the beginning, Japanese schools just ignored his intelligence. Under the wing of Schneider, he got accelerated at an improbable rate--and in effect became [[spoiler:house arrested by Schneider]].
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: He almost has no friends.
* InnocentProdigy: He switches between this and WiseBeyondTheirYears.
* LivingProgram: He [[BrainUploading coded himself as an artificial intelligence program]] "Noah's Ark" and released it to the cyberspace before [[StartsWithASuicide killing himself]]. The main story is about Noah's Ark invading into a [[HolodeckMalfunction public preview event of a new VR gaming system]]. While Noah's Ark, for most of the movie, took over the identity and appearance of one of the event's participants, at the end it does show up as itself, or Hiroki in AI form.
* LonelyRichKid: While under foster care by Schneider, although the reason is a bit different from the the standard of that trope--Schneider put him in a highly accelerated educational program [[spoiler:and then pretty much put him to work]]. Understandably, he was a bit broken for that.
* ParentalAbandonment: His parents separated over his education, and he followed his mother to the US. Not long after that, his mother died.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Were he alive, the entire plot didn't exist ''at all''.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted and then played straight. Hiroki is a very common male name in Japan, and there has been at least two one-timer that has the same name before him. Although, referring to "Hiroki" without any quantification usually refers to him
* StartsWithASuicide: What begins his case.

* SerialKiller: He killed four people, and was planning to kill two more and use the last one as a scapegoat.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks a lot like his late father. [[spoiler: Actually a huge plot point: seeing him caused Numabuchi a VillainousBSOD that let Yusuke learn what happened to Inaba... and then seeing Inaba's picture lets Conan and Heiji identify him as the real culprit.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He bears a surprising number of similarities to [[spoiler: Seiji Asoh from the previous arc. Both lost their fathers years ago and go by a different name than their birth name to avoid being connected to their fathers' deaths. When they confronted one of the people who killed their father the culprit revealed what happened and both Seiji and Yusuke decided to kill everyone responsible and frame the last victim as the culprit who then committed suicide. They both invite famous detectives to their towns and pose as helpful allies and committ (or try to in Yusuke's case) suicide when caught.]]

[[folder:Jinpei Matsuda]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/jinpei_matsuda.PNG]]
->''Voiced by Creator/NobutoshiCanna (JP)''
The character that drives the {{backstory}} of the ''12 Million Hostages'' story arc. Former member of the bomb squad, he was later transferred to the criminal team because of his ThatOneCase-- and it was ''him'' who became [[spoiler:another painful ThatOneCase]] for Sato.
----
* BrutalHonesty: Flashbacks show that he spoke out his mind no matter what anybody would think.
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler: In the non-serial movie ''The Darkest Nightmare'', Tooru Amuro reveals that he learned how to defuse a bomb from Matsuda himself, and is instrumental in stopping a bomb planted by the Black Organization which, coincidentally, is placed on yet another ferris wheel.]]
* DyingDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:To Sato, via text -- "I kinda like you"]].
* FirstLove: For Sato. [[spoiler: Sort-of TheLostLenore later.]]
* GoodSmokingEvilSmoking: He is a smoker, [[SmokingIsCool and looks damn cool while at it.]]
* TheLostLenore: To Sato. He died in an HeroicSacrifice to thwart the plans of a MadBomber. Sato herself is revealed to be deeply, ''deeply'' traumatised by his death, to the point of believing herself to be afflicted of a CartwrightCurse when her prospect SecondLove Takagi also almost falls victim to similar deals. It's only when the MadBomber is properly captured (and Takagi convinces her to not ''kill'' him right there) that she can finally move on.
* NervesOfSteel: Despite his personal interest in the case which eventually claimed his life, Matsuda remained cool and professional, placing the safety of Sato (for whom he had come to care as well) and innocents over his own life -- [[SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan qualities which had won Sato's heart.]]
* PosthumousCharacter: He was already dead for 3 years when he was first mentioned.
* TheResenter: In ''Wild Police Story'', it's revealed he had a heavy grudge against the police [[spoiler:due to his boxer father being innocently arrested for murder, leading to him to miss an important match and becoming an alcoholic.]]
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Matsuda was really, ''really'' hot.
* ThatOneCase [[spoiler:Hagiwara's death, to the same bomber; that's the reason he was transferred to Criminal Investigation, Team 1.]]

[[folder:Natsuki Koshimizu]]
[[quoteright:275:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/275px_natsuki_koshimizu_profile.jpg]]
->''Voiced by Creator/RisaHayamizu (JP)''
The "Detective of the South" in the ''Detectives' Koshien'' arc. She's from [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fukuoka Fukuoka]], a big town in the southern island of Kyushu.
----
* AmateurSleuth: One of the more famous High School Student Detectives. [[spoiler:She ''was'', but she's no longer a high schooler.]]
* AntiVillain: [[spoiler:Her murder of Tokitsu is very sympathetic since it was his erroneous deduction that got her friend arrested which led to her suicide. What also helped make her more sympathetic is how Tokitsu didn't care about the fact he sentenced an innocent person to jail, but more about his reputation.]]
* {{Bifauxnen}}: No wonder the guys, save for Tokitsu, simply assumed that she was a boy too [[GenderReveal until they saw her]] [[SailorFuku in a girly school uniform]].
* {{Bokukko}}: Besides her {{bifauxnen}} appearance, another reason the guys (sans Tokitsu, who already met her before) mistook her for a guy was her use of male pronouns. [[spoiler: Subverted as soon as she's uncovered as Tokitsu's killer, she switches to the more gender-neutral ''watashi'', apparently feeling that she's too bloodstained to use ''boku'' anymore as it was a symbol of her youthful innocence.]]
* BrokenBird: [[spoiler: She was deeply, ''deeply'' affected by the death of Kana, and planned to kill the one responsible for it.]]
* FearOfThunder: [[spoiler: Subverted, she was faking it.]]
* GenderBlenderName: While "Natsuki" is mostly known as a girl's name, it's actually for both genders.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler: Quietly tuned herself in after she was exposed for being the murderer and her plan failed to have all of them starve to death on the island.]]
* HasAType: Apparently, Natsuki likes hot-blooded guys.
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Invoked. Natsuki wore huge earphones in the beginning, which confused the others and made them think she didn't want to speak too much to them. [[spoiler: She actually used them to hide her pierced ears, which would let others know she wasn't a highschooler anymore (Japanese schools are ''very'' strict about dress codes and often prohibit the use of any piercings, earrings included). She later hid them with her hair when she couldn't use the 'phones anymore.]]
* OlderThanTheyLook: [[spoiler: Is already 20 but looks young for her age. She exploits it to try fitting in the group better and not raise any eyebrows.]]
* RedBaron: "Detective of the South".
* SailorFuku: Hers is light blue, with white scarf/collar and black socks. It's also depicted realistically, with a long skirt below the knee.
* SympatheticMurderer: [[spoiler: Killed fellow AmateurSleuth Tokitsu, as he insisted that the dead socialite was killed (He had been fooled by a "closed room trick" performed by a thief ''after'' the murder, believing it to have been performed by the murderer.) This led to the suicide of the only suspect, Natsuki's friend Kana.]]
* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Hakuba, Heiji and Conan didn't know that the ''very'' tomboyish Natsuki was a girl, and [[http://www.mangareader.net/139-8610-10/detective-conan/chapter-563.html they only found out]] when they saw her in [[SailorFuku a seifuku uniform]].
-->'''Heiji''': T-that guy's a girl?!
* WorthyOpponent: [[spoiler: Expresses admiration for the boys after her arrest, and wished she could've done a real koshien with them.]]

[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/275px_junya_tokitsu_profile.jpg]]
->''Voiced by Creator/ShinichiroMiki (JP)''
The "Detective of the North" in the ''Detectives' Koshien'' arc. He's born in Tokyo and raised in [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokkaido Hokkaido]], a huge island in northern Japan.
----
* AmateurSleuth: One of the more famous High Schooler Detectives.
* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler: While he didn't ''intentionally'' drive Natsuki's friend Kana Mizoguchi to kill herself, he showed no remorse about it and was more worried about his reputation. No wonder Natsuki got pissed and killed him.]]
* BlindingBangs: [[spoiler: Had these in the anime flashbacks.]]
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: What he thought of the case in the manor. [[spoiler: [[BewareTheHonestOnes Too bad he said that in front of the suicidal suspect's best friend]]. [[KarmicDeath Enjoy being bludgeoned to death, buddy]].]]
* DrivenToSuicide: Not ''him'', but 50 culprits in the 300 cases he's resolved. [[spoiler: One of them just so happened to be Natsuki's close friend.]]
* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: [[spoiler: In the anime flashbacks.]]
* RedBaron: "Detective of the North".
* SmugSnake: He constantly tried to make himself look humble despite his ''lack'' of humility, and it made him look rather unlikeable instead.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: The tallest of the high school Detective, with long dark hair and quite the snarky behavior.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Downplayed: [[spoiler:While he's the victim of the arc and Natsuki killed them, she is considerably more sympathetic since it was his erroneous deduction that got her friend jailed, and ''then'' showed no concern about said friend's suicide, only his reputation. Even the other detectives of the arc, who can all be considerably arrogant and/or insensitive, are nowhere near his level.]]

!!Introduced in the Bourbon Arc
[[folder:Wataru Date]]
[[quoteright:195:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/275px_wataru_date_profile.jpg]]
->''Voiced by Creator/KeijiFujiwara (JP)''
An old friend of Wataru Takagi, and his deceased BigBrotherMentor. [[spoiler: Apparently a friend of Tooru Amuro, too.]]
----
* BigBrotherMentor: For Takagi, who Date was assigned to a police mentor towards -- Date even nicknamed them as the "Wataru Brothers". [[spoiler: Including the [[MentorOccupationalHazard typical death part]], sadly.]]
* BigOlEyebrows: Huge and thick black eyebrows.
* ForgottenFallenFriend: This, too. Takagi [[spoiler: and Amuro]] had made no mention of him until this case.
* LookBothWays: [[spoiler:He didn't do this while trying to retrieve his notepad, got hit by a driver who fell asleep at the wheel of his car, and ended up dead for his trouble.]]
* LoveHurts: It hurts so much in his case, that [[spoiler: his girlfriend Natalie crossed the DespairEventHorizon after identifying his corpse and [[DrivenToSuicide hung herself]].]]
* OneSteveLimit: He and Takagi had the same first name (albeit written in different characters), and Date referred to the two as the "Wataru brothers". [[spoiler: [[ExploitedTrope A plot point]]: Fuemoto mistook Takagi for the already dead Date and put him in the DeathTrap he had staged for him, not knowing that his target had kicked it.]]
* OralFixation: He often had a toothpick in his mouth.
* PosthumousCharacter: Is already dead before the main story, and has been for at very least two years.
* SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The aggressive Manly Man to Takagi's passive Sensitive Guy.

!!Introduced in the Non-Canon Movies
[[folder:Hiroki Sawada]]
[[quoteright:183:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hiroki_sawada.jpg]]
->''Voiced by Creator/AiOrikasa (JP) / Creator/MaxeyWhitehead (EN)''
From the NonSerialMovie ''Phantom of Baker Street''. [[spoiler: He is Noah's Ark.]]
----
* AdorablyPrecociousChild: {{Subverted}}, if not {{deconstructed}}. While he is young (10) and bears as much adult responsibility (being a master programmer) as for the norm of this trope, he is portrayed as an angsty character. That does not prevent some fans from portraying him per the norm of this trope, though.
* AuthorAvatar: Often suspected to be one towards the movie's writer Hisashi Nozawa, not helped by the fact Nozawa himself committed suicide about 1.5 years after the movie screened.
* BarefootSuicide: His death is implied this way.
* {{Bishounen}}: At 10, he's a kid edition, but he does have the looks for it.
* BrainUploading: He pretty much coded his entire brain as Noah's Ark before his suicide. In the entire movie nobody even questioned whether Noah's Ark ''is'' Hiroki.
* ChildProdigy: [[spoiler:{{Deconstructed}}. This poor kid's life ''sucked'' because he was one.]]
* DeusAngstMachina: Consider all tropes surrounding him, and consider his age. ''Everyone'' would have reached their DespairEventHorizon.
* HeKnowsTooMuch: What is being said is the immediate reason for his death is because he found out Schneider was the direct descendant of UsefulNotes/JackTheRipper.
* HeroicSacrifice: his self-destruction at the end of this movie was that an AI of that complexity is too early for this world and would easily be controled by the bad guys.
* IllBoy: While this has not been further expounded about, it certainly does not help with his social issues. [[spoiler: But it's not what takes his life.]]
* ImprobableAge: [[spoiler: Remember, he's ''studying grad school in MIT'' and ''written two marketable, major pieces of software'' at ''10 years old'', it's pretty {{exaggerated}}. Of course, this is also a {{deconstruction}}, as he has huge ''emotional'' problems because of it.]]
* IntelligenceEqualsIsolation: A pretty [[TearJerker tear jerking]] example as this was not because of his failure to connect with others. In the beginning, Japanese schools just ignored his intelligence. Under the wing of Schneider, he got accelerated at an improbable rate--and in effect became [[spoiler:house arrested by Schneider]].
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: He almost has no friends.
* InnocentProdigy: He switches between this and WiseBeyondTheirYears.
* LivingProgram: He [[BrainUploading coded himself as an artificial intelligence program]] "Noah's Ark" and released it to the cyberspace before [[StartsWithASuicide killing himself]]. The main story is about Noah's Ark invading into a [[HolodeckMalfunction public preview event of a new VR gaming system]]. While Noah's Ark, for most of the movie, took over the identity and appearance of one of the event's participants, at the end it does show up as itself, or Hiroki in AI form.
* LonelyRichKid: While under foster care by Schneider, although the reason is a bit different from the the standard of that trope--Schneider put him in a highly accelerated educational program [[spoiler:and then pretty much put him to work]]. Understandably, he was a bit broken for that.
* ParentalAbandonment: His parents separated over his education, and he followed his mother to the US. Not long after that, his mother died.
* PlotTriggeringDeath: Were he alive, the entire plot didn't exist ''at all''.
* OneSteveLimit: Averted and then played straight. Hiroki is a very common male name in Japan, and there has been at least two one-timer that has the same name before him. Although, referring to "Hiroki" without any quantification usually refers to him
* StartsWithASuicide: What begins his case.
