Personality
Relationship analysis
- Shinichi Kudo/Conan Edogawa and Dr. Agasa
- Ai Haibara and Dr. Agasa
The relationship between Ai and Professor Agasa is a rather unusual, if not humorous. Despite what their actual ages are, Ai often times acts more like a mother to the professor, constantly reminding him to watch what he eats. On several occassions, she has removed fattening foods from his reach, and is attempting to help get him into better shape. There's also been instances where she'll automatically step in front of Agasa in cases of danger.[1] Out of all the people she's met, Ai seems most comfortable about acting herself with the Professor; which might be attributed to the fact that he was the one who found her after she escaped the BO, and took her in.
- Dr. Agasa and Fusae Campbell
Name origin
Agasa's name comes from mystery writer Agatha Christie. Also, his first name Hiroshi is a pun as it is written with the same kanji for hakase (博士 professor).
Additionally, his great uncle and aunt, Kurisuke (栗介 ) and Teiko (定子 ), get their names from the Japanese pronunciation of Christie (クリスティ Kurisuti) (Kurisuke obviously comes from Kurisu (クリス), but Teiko comes from Tei (テイ), and alternate writing for Ti (ティ)).
Trivia
- Agasa has a mole on his butt with a hair sticking out of it (which Conan revealed while trying to prove his real identity to the Professor).[2]
