Revision as of 13:41, 8 January 2014


Makoto Kyougoku

Makoto Kyougoku

 Voiced by Nobuyuki Hiyama (JP)

Sonoko's long-distance boyfriend, a famous karate champion. He's from Izu, actually, and his family owns a ryokan there.

Mandatory Naming Note: The last two kanji of his name (-goku Makoto) is Alternate Character Reading of Kyokushin, a major school of karate (This has been Lampshaded in-universe).

  • Adorkable
  • Ambiguously Brown
  • Big Damn Heroes: Not bad at these.
  • Genius Bruiser and Gentle Giant
  • Long Distance Relationship
  • Love At First Sight: Makoto actually saw Sonoko for the first time when she was cheering for Ran in a karate tournament, and since then he had a crush on her.
  • Made of Iron: Seems to have an uncanny resistence to pain. Come on, he gets a knife stuck in his left arm and just says he's okay!
  • Oblivious to Love: Since he's horribly Not Good With People, so he seems to have a hard time picking up on her "subtle" hints--in the Valentine's Day episode where she went to a resort with Kogoro's family to make a chocolate heart for (she told Makoto) "the person she cared for most," Makoto showed up to see who this person was and if he was a suitable companion for her. This turned out to be a good thing, as he arrived just in time to help KO two murderers who got the drop on everyone else. When he asked who it was and Sonoko pointed at him, he turned around to look behind him.
  • Pointless Band Aid: Near his left eye
  • Red Baron: "The Prince of Attack", according to Ran.
  • Skilled but Naive: Very talented karate expert. Very naive in any social interactions.
  • Tall, Dark and Handsome


Sumiko Kobayashi

Sumiko Kobayashi

Conan and the Detective Boys' class teacher.


Subaru Okiya

Subaru Okiya

 Voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu (JP)

A grad-school student that currently lives in the (now vacant) Kudo mansion and takes care of it after his apartment burns down.

  • Beware the Nice Ones: Currently being toyed with. While he looks and acts like a friendly Sherlock Holmes-loving grad student and a Big Brother Mentor living in Conan/Shinichi's house, yet he also sometimes gives Ai the chills, which only happens around Black Organization members and Shuuichi Akai.

 Conan, explaining why he let the fox-faced Subaru stay at his house: "A person who loves Sherlock Holmes couldn't possibly be evil!"


Yoko Okino

Yoko Okino

 Voiced by Yuri Amano / Miki Nagasawa (JP)

One of the earliest recurring characters on record, she is Kogoro's favourite Idol Singer. Often guides the Mouris in situations involving the entertainment industry.


Eisuke Hondou

Eisuke Hondou

 Voiced by Junko Noda (JP)

One of Sonoko and Ran's classmates, who has a somewhat weak health and is very clumsy.

Mandatory naming note: "Hondou" comes from Bondo (ボンド), the Japanese pronounciation of (James) Bond, Eisuke from mystery writer Eisuke Kaito.

  • Butt Monkey
  • Cute Clumsy Girl: A Rare Male Example
  • Dude Looks Like a Lady: And how-- go back above and check Kobayashi-sensei's picture, and he looks 80% like her.
  • Ill Boy: He had leukemia when he was a child, and he got better due to his older sister Hidemi's bone marrow donation. 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.
  • Kansai Regional Accent: He was born and raised in Osaka
  • Love Triangle: Invoked and subverted. In front of Conan, Eisuke claims to have fallen in love with Ran and that he wants to take her to America with him. When Conan/Shinichi reacts strongly, he takes it as the hint he needed to guess his secret identity, and then both promises to be one of his Secret Keepers and asks him to protect her in his stead.
  • Meganekko: Rare Male Example, due to his very high Moe quotient.
  • New Transfer Student
  • Nice Guy
  • Secret Keeper: One of the few people who actually guessed Conan's secret identity correctly, and by himself. This probably put his intelligence on par with Heiji!
  • Strong Family Resemblance: With his older sister, Hidemi Hondou aka Rena Mizunashi aka Kir. Unknowingly lampshaded by Ran, who notices it.

  • Amateur Sleuth
  • Bifauxnen
  • Bi the Way: Maybe, she did tease Ran and Sonoko by saying Ran's just her type.
  • The Mole?: Sera's done more suspicious things in two stories then Subaru's done in two years: She's unusually interested in finding a connection between Conan and Shinichi, she made an enhanced photo of Ai from a tiny reflection in a You Tube video that was used in a kidnapping attempt (they got Ayumi instead) and took particular glee in deleting it, and she recently caught the eye of Conan's FBI friends.
