[[Masumi Sera|Masumi]] immediately notices his chipmunk, which has now become his trademark. He is happy to meet Shinichi and Heiji for the first time, agreeing to cooperate with them and Masumi. Since it's a prominent victim and the witnesses are well-known, he doesn't want to reveal the murder to the public so quickly. Later, he himself witnesses how a person is supposedly attacked by a Tengu in his hotel room. After this event, he and Heiji interrogate the witnesses at a restaurant in town, but are disturbed by commotion on the streets of Kyoto. While they are taking care of it, there is another murder. Now he is questioning the witnesses again, hoping to finally get some useful information. This gives investigators clues about the past of the suspects and the victims. Shinichi sees through the case. On his orders, he sends the suspects to their hotel rooms and allows one of them to sneak out of the hotel and drive to the Kiyomizu-dera Temple. There, the culprit pushes him off the temple's terrace, but he, following Shinichi's instructions, had an air cushion placed under the terrace, which saved his life. In addition to Shinichi, Masumi, and Heiji, the Kyoto police were also present at the temple. With their old school uniforms, he and his colleagues disguised themselves as students on a school trip to lull the perpetrator into security. He arrests the perpetrator and takes him away. | ||

He lives in the ancient district of Higashiyama.[2] He speaks the Kyoto dialect and usually uses sophisticated language. He is said to be a rather competent and intelligent inspector, which is the reason why he has been promoted so quickly two years before.

He is afraid by Tengu's stories and doesn't like archery. He is impressed by Conan's high intelligence and appreciates his help, knowing that he can be crucial help just like Heiji, often allowing him to investigate and tamper by himself, not like other regular policemen.

He meets a former US Army Captain in a Kyoto hotel along with his family, asking if he can explain the meaning of the murders. However, the victim blocks and demands that he finally find the suspect. As the victim is just finishing his call, he comes over and reports that the suspect was captured by a video camera at the Osaka train station and asks him not to fly home.
The Crimson Love Letter (Movie: 21)
At the murder scene, he meets Conan and Heiji and tells them everything he has found out so far. He allows the two to take a closer look at the entire crime scene if they give him their findings in return. Later, when the police deal with a suspect, he is also present and asks him to answer a few questions. Later, he meets Heiji at Momiji's manor: both had the same thought to ensure her protection. Her butler comes out with a tray of tea and thanks them for their work. During the karuta tournament, he has been keeping the players safe and talks to Kogoro about it. While Kogoro and Otaki go to the hospital to see the awakened suspect, he stay with Heiji and Conan at the tournament. Shortly thereafter there is an explosion and they learn that there is a victim. In a nearby tree, they discover a ring that belonged to the victim. He learns from Otaki on the phone that someone has also received a karuta card by email. Heiji has a premonition and asks him to check Kazuha's emails. He recognizes who the final target is. As the three make their way to the finals venue, he receives a phone call confirming Heiji's thoughts: Kazuha received a karuta card. He orders the finale to be canceled immediately. When he finally arrives at the temple venue, it's already on fire.
Kaiju Gomera vs. Kamen Yaiba (Anime: 965-968)
He saves Ran from an oncoming car, which shortly thereafter goes off the road and explodes. When Heizo finds out about the incident, he is surprised that Ayanokoji is in Osaka. He tells Heizo that there was a similar accident in Kyoto and there is a connection between the two victims. Through Conan and Heiji, Heizo suspects that there is more to the two accidents and has the case investigated more closely. When another victim is later found, they forget to notify the inspector, but he has brought new information with him: the three accidents were not accidents. The explosions were caused by bombs. Because of this, Otaki offers his cooperation, which he happily accepts. Together they question someone who knew the three victims and learn from him that another person worked with the victim. A man is suspected of this, but is found bound and gagged in his home by Otaki and Ayanokoji. When the suspect later wakes up in the hospital, he is questioned by Otaki and Ayanokoji, but they get no useful information from him. Conan finally solves the case and convicts two people as the killers. They can also prevent just in time the last murder.
Pome's Wonderful Life (Hanzawa the Criminal: 48, Anime: TBD)
Manga vs. anime
Files 33-35 are the first and only time when Kogoro goes in train to Kyoto for his best friend's wedding. Ran came along to see Kyoto for the first time, and brought Conan rather than leave him alone in Tokyo. The Kyoto police came at the end of the Black Organization bombing case solved by Conan, when the bullet train was stopped under their jurisdiction, but the anime version replaced them with inspector Megure and his men, who were too far away. In file 1001, he says to have met Conan and his associates before, but not Shinichi and Heiji. Then, he meet Kogoro, Ran, and Conan during that case, since the movies are not canon.
Name origin
His last name is a pun made for movie 7, when it was supposed to only last one case about the streets of Kyoto, which were the main hint to solve the code sheet. Ayanokoji-dori is actually one of the oldest streets in Kyoto, and one of the main streets in the old town.
His first name may be a allusion to Prince Fumimaro Konoe, a former Prime Minister of Japan, referencing his royal origins.
Trivia
- According to Gosho Aoyama in JUSTICE PLUS Super Digest Book, he got his pet chipmunk in a pet shop when their eyes met.
