[[File:Akai Middle Brother's hand.png|thumb|right|The middle brother's hand and cellphone]]
 
* He does not look like [[Shuichi Akai]] or [[Masumi Sera]]. Those two take their looks from their mother, while the middle brother looks more like their father.<ref name=859p6-7/>
 
* The middle brother is older than Masumi, but younger than Shuichi.<ref name=859p6-7/> Neither of their ages have been revealed, but Masumi attends class with Ran and Shinichi who are 16-17, and [[Subaru Okiya]] claims to be 27.
 
* He is apparently in the middle of an important job and won't tell Masumi where he is.<ref name=859p6-7/>
 
* He is very intelligent; note that Sera characterizes the already intelligent Akai as "strong" in contrast to the middle brother. He advises Masumi on cases via cellphone.<ref name=859p6-7/> He was able to correctly deduce over the phone that masumi's deduction was unreliable in [[Volume_81#Steamy_Relations|a bathroom murder case]].
 
* In one panel, we see the middle brother responding to Masumi's message using his right hand and a black cellphone. Unless the brother is disguised, this would imply he has light skin. The use of the phone with the right hand is not an absolute indicator of handedness because sometimes characters with known handedness will use phones with their off hands.<ref name=860p16>Manga [[Volume 81]], File 10 (860), pg 16: "The smell of kerosine"</ref>
 
* The middle brother recognizes Conan and knows he is a good detective.<ref name=860p16/> After an exchange of information regarding deductions, the brother asked Masumi who she was referring to. Masumi shows the brother Conan's picture thinking he will be surprised. The brother replies back that "if it's him, then there's no problem". Masumi is very surprised and wonders how her brother knows Conan. Her suspicion makes sense because Conan didn't exist prior to Shinichi shrinking.<ref name=861p4>Manga Volume 81, File 11 (861), pg 4: "Just like Magic"</ref> The brother later sends another text to Masumi, which makes Masumi react "Ah, I see. So ''that's'' how it is."<ref name=861p15-16>Manga Volume 81, File 11 (861), pg 15-16: "Just like Magic"</ref>

== Possible Suspects ==
 
Assuming the middle brother is between 16 (lower range for Masumi's real age) and 40 (upper range for Akai's age based on his appearance) the following characters could qualify as suspects in reverse order of their introduction date.
 
 
 
=== Minor or New Character ===
 
It's possible the middle brother is a minor character who was a suspect or witness in a case, but did not distinguish himself of demonstrate his intelligence. It's also possible for the middle brother to be a character who has not been introduced yet, but will be later in a flashback.
