Contents
Background
Genta Kojima was a student in Teitan Elementary when Shinichi was enlisted into his class after he had been shrunk by the drug APTX 4869. Shortly afterwards, he and his classmate Ayumi had the idea of investigating an apparently haunted mansion. They persuaded Conan to come along, and Genta also personally drafted Mitsuhiko when the latter expressed his criticism about supernatural hauntings.
As it turned out, the haunting served as a cover-up for an old homicide case. Following its resolution, the foursome decided to stay together and form the nucleus of what would become the Detective Boys. Genta was quick to pronounce himself the leader of the group, but his lackadaisical leadership abilities are commonly neglected in the field, and in fact everyone (even Genta) unanimously views Conan as the group's actual leader. His school shoe locker is used as a mailbox for any of their fellow students who can present them with a case.
Personality
Genta is the overweight, self-proclaimed leader of the Detective Boys. He loves food, especially braised eel on rice, and can eat more than all the other Detective Boys members combined. He also tends to mess up certain Japanese terms with similar-sounding words (especially if the latter are related to food) and is quite inept in reading even the most common Kanji, which on occasion evicts some ridicule from his classmates and friends. His brash personality, ignorance of his surroundings and tendency of not thinking before leaping often lands the Detective Boys (or at least himself) in sticky situations.
Even though he is brash, ignorant and outspoken and can be intimidating, Genta is actually very kind and dependable. He is a good friend of Ayumi and Mitsuhiko, and has been shown to admire his father, who owns a liquor store.

Relationship analysis
Detective Boys
Ayumi Yoshida
Genta clearly has a crush on his teammate Ayumi, and as a result he - along with Mitsuhiko - is rather jealous of Conan because she likes him the most.
Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya
Genta and Mitsuhiko are generally on very good terms with each other, and are also just as mutually jealous of Conan whenever Ayumi decides to give him her full romantic attention. However, somehow the two fail to realize that they both like Ayumi and therefore should also be rivals with each other.[4]
Conan Edogawa
Genta's relationship with Conan is a bit of a two-faced matter. While he generally admires Conan for his intelligence, courage and expertise, in his brashness he frequently attempts to promote himself as the leader of the Detective Boys. He also tends to become very jealous at Conan whenever Ayumi has set her romantic intents set on him.
Ai Haibara
Genta has also intially expressed some interest in Ai Haibara, their newest member. While his interest has cooled off somewhat because of her adult-like manner, the two generally remain on a good standing with each other.
