Background

He seems to have extensive knowledge of European history. He is a butler of Ooka family in Kyoto. It's was revealed that he's a former Public Security Bureau officer.[1] Iori met Momiji three years ago on a mission and decided to become her butler then. He graduated from the Police Academy, the same year as Kazami and was assigned the same division of Furuya.[2]

Appearance

Iori's face seems to be designed very similarly to Shuichi Akai and Shukichi Haneda, however the eyes have marks that are similar to Curaçao and various minor case characters. He is wearing a hat that is identical to the hat worn by Tsutomu Akai in Shuichi and Mary's flashback images of him. What hair can be seen from under the hat on the back of his head is similar to that of Ethan Hondou. He wears glasses with thick black rims similar to Kohji Haneda's and a button up coat. Later, when Iori is at the airport, he removes the glasses, the scarf and the hat and reveals that he has long, curly hair.

Personality

Iori is a loyal butler of Momiji, who vows to do his best to support her and her romantic endeavor with Heiji Hattori. He is confident that Heiji's primary love interest, Kazuha Toyama, won't be an obstacle for Momiji. Momiji relies on Iori for second opinions. For instance, she asks Muga's opinion on Heiji and even sent him to Tokyo so that Iori could see him with his own eyes. Iori approves of Heiji as the choice for her future partner. Iori is also analytic and careful about planning for Momiji, making him a trustworthy butler. During the first encounter with Heiji and Conan where he fell under suspicion of a murder at the Cafe Poirot, Iori easily improvised believable answers for Conan, Heiji, and the police's questions. Iori is apparently also stealthy because Conan and Heiji "could not feel his presence" and even the police didn't notice when he later leaves the crime scene.
