{{nihongo|'''Rum'''|ラム|Ramu}}, alias '''{{nihongo|Kanenori Wakita|脇田 兼則|Wakita Kanenori}}''', is the second-in-command of the [[Black Organization]] and the second main antagonist in the entire manga and anime franchise ''[[Detective Conan]]''.
 
  
== Background ==
+
[[Category:Soft Redirect]]
Rum is actually disguised as Kanenori Wakita, a sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi. He is the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]] of the [[Black Organization]], then he is their second-in-command, and changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates. He was involved with the death of [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo]] and charges [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about him. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo]] a threat to the organization and orders [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.
 
 
 
== Personality ==
 
As Kanenori Wakita he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo") and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient.
 
 
 
He has a keen sense of observation, being able to detect different message codes due to the difference in romaji writing. As such, that saves his/her subordinates from being captured and allows them to counter attack the FBI.
 
 
 
== Appearance ==
 
He has damaged the left eye which has been replaced with an artificial eye. He has a strong build, short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye.
 
 
 
== Abilities ==
 
He has relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]]. He can't safely wield the knife due his injured eye.

== Plot overview ==
 
=== Scriptwriter Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 86#Scriptwriter Murder Case|906-908]], Anime: [[Three First Discoverers|792-793]]) ===
 
[[Ai Haibara|Haibara]] visualizes his three [["The Criminal"|black figure]]s, just like Conan later in the anime version with fake eyes.
 
 
 
=== Soul Detective Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 90#The Soul Detective|951]]-[[Volume 90#As If Connecting with a Demon in the Darkness|953]], Anime: [[Soul Detective Murder Case|863-864]]) ===

=== Interchanged Betting Ticket Case (Manga: [[Volume 92#Interchanged Betting Ticket Case|975-977]], Anime: [[The Tokyo-Style Detective Show Next Door|894-895]]) ===
 
Wakita correctly guesses which horse [[Kogoro Mouri|Kogoro]] must have bet on to cause him to visit Beika Iroha Sushi and order the highest quality servings. He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. He turns out to be a fan of Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.

=== Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: [[Volume 95#Missing Maria Higashio Case|1008]], Anime: [[Search for Maria-chan!|941-942]]) ===
 
Wakita is seen talking to [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]], claiming that he came to deliver a sushi in his neighborhood, but couldn't due to a mass of paparazzi surrounding Shinichi's house. After he finished his conversation, he is seen reading an article in his phone, where the blogger who claimed that she saw Shinichi was nothing but an illusion, calming down the uproar about Shinichi. Rum sends an email to Bourbon, asking him to gather information about Shinichi, telling him to hurry up stating that "Time is money".

In this case, he seems has relatively good deductive ability by solving the mysterious coding with the murder case. After the case, he asks conan whether he is concern of something which is missing like a shogi piece which Conan denies.
 
 
 
=== FBI Serial Murder Case (Manga: [[Volume 100#FBI Serial Murder Case|1061-1066]], Anime: TBD) ===
 
After several [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]] members were killed as the Black Organization was able to decode their communication, the FBI planted a fake code.

== Non-canon plot overview ==
 
=== The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===
 
Rum doesn't appear in this movie directly:
 
* Haibara visualizes his three black figures as in file 906, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.
 
* Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs.
 
* Rum also orders them to retrieve Curaçao to verify if the message is authentic or not.
 
* When she finally regained her lost memory, Curaçao's flashback shows Rum speaking to Vermouth through a computer in an altered voice. Vermouth was about to execute Curaçao because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, but Rum's voice stopped her. He appointed Curaçao as his right-handed agent.
 
* Vermouth has a conversation with him/her during the ending credit, while she is in her car along with Kir. She lets Kir listen to what he has to say before hanging up.
 
 
 
== Relationships analysis ==
 
=== Black Organization ===
 
==== The Boss ====
 
The [[boss]] is his only direct superior, meaning that [[Renya Karasuma]] must trust him the most, enough to make him the highest ranking executive agent.
 
 
 
==== Curaçao ====
 
[[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent, but has only appeared in the non-canon movie. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but Rum decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.
 
 
 
== Character inspiration ==
 
[[Gosho Aoyama]] was inspired by the fictional character [[Wikipedia: Sebastian Moran|Colonel Sebastian Moran]] in the ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]''' series to create the Black Organization second-in-command. He was the Professor Moriarty's right hand man and "the second most dangerous man in London".

== Trivia ==
 
* Wakita's character is a homage to one-eyed boxing coach Danpei Tange from the 1968 boxing manga series ''[[Wikipedia: Ashita no Joe|Ashita no Joe]]''.
 
* His enemy role in the series is just like the second-in-command of the alien boss of the evil organization Jocker in the children's show ''[[Kamen Yaiba#Trivia|Kamen Yaiba]]''.<ref>Manga volume 92, file 7; anime episode 895.</ref>
 
* [[Wikipedia: Rum|Rum]] is a distilled alcoholic beverage made from sugarcane byproducts, such as molasses or honeys, or directly from sugarcane juice, by a process of fermentation and distillation. It's the liquor pirates often drink.
 
* In the hand-drawn poster by Gosho Aoyama for The Darkest Nightmare, Conan is riding a black horse on fire, that represents nightmare. The title of the movie confirmed the horse is Rum.
