[[Morofushi]] was the 1st one who realized that by observing the red wall for a long period of time then looking at the white wall, one sees Green in the after image before both Kansuke & [[Conan]] did too afterwards. This was meant to denote the Italian Flag, a vital clue to uncovering the culprit. Right after [[Morofushi]] noticed the secret message, he immediately text Kansuke a sentence "The late Koumei" but unfortunately, before the text was sent, he has his head smacked by the culprit.

The two are childhood friends who went to the same primary and high school as each other. Both have also become inspectors of a police headquarters. In the past, when Yamato was thought to be dead, Morofushi went against his boss' orders and went to look for him. Afterwards, Yamato was found and in the hospital while Morofushi himself got put down into the local police headquarters. This is to show even if Morofushi loses his position in the main headquarters, he will definite be willing to go and save his friend. Even now, they still remain as best friends and even compete with each other to see who can solve cases first. Yamato also on the other hand will go and help his friend out. This is shown by how he would go into a burning mansion to save him. Their friendship and rivalry can be considered similar to that of Heiji and Shinichi's, with Heiji being hot-tempered impatient Yamato and Shinichi being well-mannered calm Morofushi.

Kansuke Yamato (大和 敢助 Yamato Kansuke?) is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan. He was originally introduced as police detective from Nagano Prefecture. Some time before his second appearance, Yamato is promoted as police inspector. His direct subordinate is Detective Yui Uehara. Yamato lost his left eye in a snow avalanche and now has an X-shaped scar in its place. This same avalanche caused severe and "permanent damage" to his left leg, forcing him to use a forearm crutch to walk around.

Background

Yamato grew up in a small Nagano village with Yui Uehara. Like most people from the village, he greatly admired police officer and town hero Kuroto Kai, who inspired him and Uehara to join the police.[1] One year before the Furinkazan Case, Yamato chased a parole jumper he believed to be involved with Kai's mysterious death into a mountain, where he got caught in the avalanche that took his left eye and leg.[1] He was missing and believed dead for several days until school friend Taka'aki "Komei" Morofushi, also a police inspector, went against orders to track down the criminal and find Yamato.[2] After recovering, he returned to the force and resumed working on solving Kai's death. With the aid of Conan Edogawa and Heiji Hattori the case was finally resolved, and soon afterwards Uehara rejoined the police force as his partner.[1]

Personality

In contrast to other police inspectors like Megure, Sango Yokomizo, and Yamamura, Yamato is shown to be very serious and hard-boiled. He is often short-tempered and has been known to yell at and intimidate suspects.[3] This aspect of his personality causes him to become quite visibly annoyed with Kogoro's ignorance[4] and Yamamura's goofiness.[5] Still, he does have softer spots, though he does not show them often, and there are hints that he is both aware and accepting of Uehara's affection towards him.

Yamato does have a petty rivalry with fellow police detective Koumei, often competing with him to see who can solve a case first.[6] Despite this, they remain very close friends, and Yamato was even willing to run into a burning mansion to save him at one point.[7] Yamato is also aware of Conan's intelligence and is one of few characters who treats him like an adult and equal.[7]

This was meant to denote the Italian Flag, a vital clue to uncovering the culprit. Right after Morofushi noticed the secret message, he immediately text Kansuke a sentence "The late Koumei" but unfortunately, before the text was sent, he has his head smacked by the culprit. Fortunately enough, the message was successfully sent at a second before his consciousness lost.

Relationships analysis

Yui Uehara

Kansuke Yamato cares very deeply for his subordinate and childhood friend Yui Uehara. He was upset over her leaving the force and tried to distance himself from her,[14] but had no problem allowing her back on the force.[15] Uehara in return cares for him and even seems to have feeling for him,[1][15] affectionatley referring to him as Kan-chan, which he always scolds her for doing.[6]

Taka'aki Morofushi

The two are childhood friends who went to the same primary and high school as each other. Both have also become inspectors of a police headquarters. In the past, when Yamato was thought to be dead, Morofushi went against his boss' orders and went to look for him. Afterwards, Yamato was found and in the hospital while Morofushi himself got put down into the local police headquarters. This is to show even if Morofushi loses his position in the main headquarters, he will definite be willing to go and save his friend. Even now, they still remain as best friends and even compete with each other to see who can solve cases first. Yamato also on the other hand will go and help his friend out. This is shown by how he would go into a burning mansion to save him. Their friendship and rivalry can be considered similar to that of Heiji and Shinichi's, with Heiji being hot-tempered impatient Yamato and Shinichi being well-mannered calm Morofushi.

Conan Edogawa

In the Suspicious party of Two, he even told Yui Uehara that he suspects Conan of being "the one leading everything," in regards to Kogoro's cases, and that is after only after they met up in one case so far.

In fact, in that car ride, they were giving Agasa and Haibara a lift back to Tokyo, but he really kept taking in a Nagano dialect, using phrases that terrified Haibara, such as "Half-Kill" and "Over-Kill, which dealth with a kind of Mochi."

The reason why he and Yui were heading to Tokyo was to enlist Kogoro's help with the Red Wall Case, which Yui told Conan that it was really his help they were wanting.

Name origin

Yamato's name comes from Yamamoto Kansuke (山本勘助 ?), the strategist of Takeda Shingen, the famous daimyo who used "Fūrinkazan" as his battle slogan. This is even pointed out by Conan during the Red Wall Case.[16]
