Sango Yokomizo, also known as Inspector Worthington in the Funimation dub, is a character in the anime franchise Detective Conan. Although he is shown as a menancing inspector, he is considered more adept to Conan than Kogoro Mouri, and has softened his demeanor during a situation that calls for comfort. His twin brother is another inspector, named Jugo Yokomizo. Sango is considered a secondary character, however he makes more appearances as the head inspector and detective than any character other than Inspector Megure, and he always appears a handful of times every season.

Background
Sango is the head inspector of the Shizuoka district, and Conan often runs into him when he is away for a festival, or on a vacation. It is hinted that Sango is the head inspector of a richer town, as he often is involved in a case at a fancy hotel, or one of Sonoko Suzuki's vacation spots, as well as the homes of her relatives.[1] He is also the head inspector in most cases involving a famous actor or actress,[2] and at many festivals.[3] Sango has a twin brother named Jugo Yokomizo, who is also an inspector. His personality is the complete opposite of Sango's, in that he is much more serious than Sango. Sango Yokomizo makes frequent appearances in the anime, as compared to other non-Tokyo district inspectors and detectives, like Misao Yamamura and his twin brother Juugo.
Personality
Sango considers him a big fan of Kogoro Mouri's work.[4] Often when he sees Kogoro, his demeanor changes and he has him help him investigate a case.[5] Sometimes, he even actually calls Kogoro and asks him to come with him, because there is a case that he is having a problem solving.[6] Kogoro however, sometimes puts down Sango's theories, even when it turns out Sango's intuitions are indeed the correct ones.[3] Kogoro does not always react the same way to seeing Sango, as Sango does to him,[7] but he does appear to consider Sango a good friend. Sango always acts very excited when he sees that Kogoro becomes "The Sleeping Kogoro," almost like he is a fanatic of Kogoro and not a detective, happily cheering him on and telling everyone that it must mean that Kogoro has solved the case.[8]
Although he can be a menancing figure, he is shown to be a very adept inspector. He is shown in his first appearance on the show to realize who the killer is, and he is also the only one other than Conan to doubt the suspect's alibi, right down to the photographic trick the killer used to solidfy their alibi.[4] Conan even has Sango look at the evidence Conan has found, to accuse the killer of the murder.[4] Conan also belives that Sango is a very adept and smart inspector, commenting during a case that Sango, who was the one in charge, would be a much smarter choice for figuring out the case over Kogoro Mouri.[9] In another case, he is the only adult to believe that a murder took place instead of a suicide at a temple, but Conan, when voicing Kogoro, still chides him for not paying attention to the obvious clues Sango had found.[5]
He also has a softer side, like when he is shown with Dr. Agasa and Conan Edogawa trying to comfort Ai Haibara after she breaks down to Conan, asking him why he didn't save her sister, Akemi Miyano.[10] He later on comes to think of Kogoro, Ran, and Conan as friends, often running to them and talking to them before anyone else if they appear at a murder case that he is investigating.[9] Unlike most other characters, Sango does not mind Conan involving himself in cases. In fact, Sango often values Conan's opinion, as well as his keen observations, often asking him if he has found any clues, much to the chagrin of Kogoro.[11] Whenever Conan makes a point, or points out a clue, Kogoro immediately disregards it, while Sango is the only one who listens to Conan's points without acting in anger towards him, even taking his concerns seriously.[8] It is hinted that Sango also understands the Conan is no ordinary seven year old boy, and very smart for his age.
