The reaction of most characters when they see him, is to be completely bewildered; Kogoro even notes that he cannot believe that this is the only detective from the Gunma prefecture that can help him out during a murder case.[3] Misao also does other work in the department, including robbery cases, as well as covering traffic observations.[4] He also does work escorting criminals to different places.[5] In a few circumstances, Conan had to use the tranquilizer stun watch on him, much to Conan's chagrin.
Personality
