Agasa met Fusae forty years before the current timeline, on the first day back from summer break the way to Okuho middle school. At the time, he was in 6th grade and she in the 4th at Teitan elementary. She was too frightened to pass the house which had a large dog who was owned by Mrs Choi. He helped her pass the house, and afterwards told him she was afraid of animals because she had been bitten by her pet dog when she was little, and she didn't have any pets from them on. To help her get over that fear of animals, he took her over to the house of a friend name Haruo Chouno who owned a hamster. She would later take care of the school's animals which she ended up enjoying taking care of the school chicken. She was very afraid of the hamster at first, but she got used to it after a while and overcame her fear of animals after a couple of months, and was able to walk past the dog unafraid. All this time, he had been walking with her to school every day.

Late in November, she didn't appear one day, and he found out she had suddenly moved away. Although she didn't tell him she was leaving, she had left a letter in his mailbox, saying that she will meet with him again ten years from that day, November 24, at "the place of memories". If he didn't come, she would wait again in another ten years. She left a riddle at the bottom of her letter "4163 33 6 0" and "Clue: Animals". Without knowing the answer, he had tried the house with the hamster thirty years prior and the house with the dog twenty years prior, but neither were correct. Conan wound up solving the riddle, revealing that the numbers corresponded to the number of letters in the English onomatopoetic sounds various animals make. 4163 was a rooster's "cock-a-doodle-doo", 33 was a dog's "bow-wow", 6 was a hamster's "squeak", and 0 meant no animal sounds could be heard. They in turn referred to the corresponding places where each could be found, which when put together made the phrase "under Teitan elementary's ginkgo trees" (in romaji).

At first, Ran persistent refused because Fusae will get wet, but she insisted. She then said, when she grows up, Ran will buys one of purses that she designed in return as repayment towards her. She showed a gingko leaf towards Ran and said that it's the mark, and also said although she is not famous now, she'll try her best. Then, they made a pinky promise together about it, with Ran agreeing to it. [[Shinichi Kudo|Shinichi]] was there and witnessed the whole thing.

Today a successful fashion designer, she is [[Hiroshi Agasa|Agasa]]'s first love in their childhood years. Because of her half-American heritage, she has blond hair, which had made her the target of ridicule among her fellow students and thus made her very shy. She usually wore a large hat to conceal her hair. Right after she found her first love, she had to move away, but promised to return every ten year to a special place to meet him again. However, the postcard on which she had placed her clues were too complicated for him to solve and it took him forty years, and the help of Conan, to find the place again. While they did not openly talk about their feelings and despite their misconceptions they had about each other, there is a hint that their relationship is now beginning to grow. When Agasa makes up an excuse to avoid demonstrating how the Fusae brand glass used in a murder, his real reason is he didn't want to further damage something with Fusae's name on it.
Kinoshita and Billy look very similar to the pair of people who [[Shuichi Akai]] asked to follow [[Yukiko Kudo]] and the [[Detective Boys|detective boys]] at the film studio in chapter 419. Fusae spoke English, and one of her parents was foreign and an English speaker. The name Billy suggests an American or at least English connection which would fit make sense for [[FBI]] related people. Billy's line, “I think the next time you meet will be much sooner than that...” could have a deeper meaning. The cars the two pairs of people drove don’t match. Additionally, Kinoshita had a three person meal in her car, although only two people were present.
 
  
Other potential known character couples are ruled out. The shadow people are not [[James Black]] and [[Jodie Starling]] because neither Jodie nor James smoke. They can't be [[Tomoaki Araide]] and his housekeeper [[Hikaru Yasumoto]] either because they are out of the country under protection. They are not members of the [[Black Organization]] because they were working with Akai. None of the other FBI officers guarding [[Setting#Haido Central Hospital (杯戸中央病院)|Haido Central Hospital]] resemble the two shadow people.

Offscreen Agasa learned that Fusae was Fusae Campbell which he recognised in The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters case.

Fusae may have had a father who was a magician who died for some unknown reason. When the members of the Magician lovers club <ref>chap 192, ep 132</ref> were talking about their favorite magicians, one of them mentioned liking one "Kinoshita Yoshiro". He shares the same last name as Kinoshita Fusae. Kinoshita Yoshiro is dead already, and it is stated that Kinoshita Fusae left suddenly for some reason during the school year and that she has a stepfather currently. The kanji spellings of the two’s last names (木之下) are identical, which is noteworthy because the spelling is a rarer variant. (The most common spelling is "木下".)

* The Fusae brand is referenced in other episodes. In the anime, it can be heard as the Sai brand instead. This is actually the result of mishearing the name Fusae: as when speaking Japanese, it is common to devoice the /i/ and /u/ vowels between voiceless consonants. So, in the name /fusae/, because both the /f/ and the /s/ are voiceless consonants, the /u/ vowel between them is devoiced, resulting in a very weak and difficult to notice presence. With the absence of the vowel, the preceding /f/ would be heard as an exhale and not be heard as part of the word, leaving just /sae/, itself easily misheard as /sai/ when spoken fast. The word itself is still being pronounced as /fusae/, and not /sai/.

* Fusae Campbell's voice actress [[Eiko Masuyama]] also voices [[Fujiko Mine]] in the [[Lupin III vs. Detective Conan]] TV Special. Oddly enough, "Fujiko" (不二子) and "Fusae" have the same number of syllables, start with the same kana, and the "ji" in "Fujiko" means 2 (二), while the "sa" in "Fusae" can point to 3 (三), or "san".

The two became very fond of each other, especially since Agasa did not ridicule her for her hair color, but she soon had to move away before she could confess her feelings for him. In a letter who left, she promised that once every ten years she would wait for Agasa at "the place of memories", the ginkgo trees behind Teitan elementary school, until he met up with her, but the hints she left were too complicated for Agasa to crack, and it was not until forty years later the two were finally reunited with the help of Conan. By that time, she had become a successful fashion designer, with a ginkgo leaf being her trademark signature, because Agasa had commented on her hair looking like ginkgo leaves in the fall.

While the two parted inconclusively, because of mistaken conceptions about the other which she assumed the Detective Boys are his grandchildren and lied that Billy is her husband, they did recognize each other, and Agasa was able to make his feelings known to her. Whether the two will meet anytime soon remains to be seen.[2]

Plot overview

Agasa's First Love Case (Manga: Volume 40: 410-412, Anime: 421-422)

Agasa met Fusae forty years before the current timeline, on the first day back from summer break the way to Okuho middle school. At the time, he was in 6th grade and she in the 4th at Teitan elementary. She was too frightened to pass the house which had a large dog who was owned by Mrs Choi. He helped her pass the house, and afterwards told him she was afraid of animals because she had been bitten by her pet dog when she was little, and she didn't have any pets from them on. To help her get over that fear of animals, he took her over to the house of a friend name Haruo Chouno who owned a hamster. She would later take care of the school's animals which she ended up enjoying taking care of the school chicken. She was very afraid of the hamster at first, but she got used to it after a while and overcame her fear of animals after a couple of months, and was able to walk past the dog unafraid. All this time, he had been walking with her to school every day.

One day, under the ginkgo trees behind Teitan elementary where the animals were kept, her hat blew off, revealing her brownish blond hair. She pleaded for him not to look at her hair, because she didn't want to be made fun of for looking different. He instead told her that he likes it and it is as beautiful as a ginkgo leaf.

Late in November, she didn't appear one day, and he found out she had suddenly moved away. Although she didn't tell him she was leaving, she had left a letter in his mailbox, saying that she will meet with him again ten years from that day, November 24, at "the place of memories". If he didn't come, she would wait again in another ten years. She left a riddle at the bottom of her letter "4163 33 6 0" and "Clue: Animals". Without knowing the answer, he had tried the house with the hamster thirty years prior and the house with the dog twenty years prior, but neither were correct. Conan wound up solving the riddle, revealing that the numbers corresponded to the number of letters in the English onomatopoetic sounds various animals make. 4163 was a rooster's "cock-a-doodle-doo", 33 was a dog's "bow-wow", 6 was a hamster's "squeak", and 0 meant no animal sounds could be heard. They in turn referred to the corresponding places where each could be found, which when put together made the phrase "under Teitan elementary's ginkgo trees" (in romaji).

She is waiting for him under the ginkgo trees with her step-father's friend, Billy. She doesn't tell him who she is, claiming to be someone who likes the colors of the ginkgo trees and that Billy is her husband. However, Conan recognizes her from ten years ago, when she decided to give Ran her umbrella after the girl told her she forgotten her's on that rainy day and Ran's hiding out at the gingko trees for now, when they meet each other after Fusae asked if Ran was waiting for someone. At first, Ran persistent refused because Fusae will get wet, but she insisted. She then said, when she grows up, Ran will buys one of purses that she designed in return as repayment towards her. She showed a gingko leaf towards Ran and said that it's the mark, and also said although she is not famous now, she'll try her best. Then, they made a pinky promise together about it, with Ran agreeing to it. Shinichi was there and witnessed the whole thing.

She doesn't want to tell him who she was because she thinks that the Detective Boys, who are with him, are his grandchildren and is afraid he would be heart-broken that she had waited for him for forty years. She doesn't think he had remembered her, but he reveals he does when Agasa calls after her that he still thinks ginkgo leaves are pretty. She wants to return again in ten years, but Billy says that he thinks their next meeting will be much sooner than that.

Relationships analysis

Hiroshi Agasa

Agasa reminisces Fusae.

Today a successful fashion designer, she is Agasa's first love in their childhood years. Because of her half-American heritage, she has blond hair, which had made her the target of ridicule among her fellow students and thus made her very shy. She usually wore a large hat to conceal her hair. Right after she found her first love, she had to move away, but promised to return every ten year to a special place to meet him again. However, the postcard on which she had placed her clues were too complicated for him to solve and it took him forty years, and the help of Conan, to find the place again. While they did not openly talk about their feelings and despite their misconceptions they had about each other, there is a hint that their relationship is now beginning to grow. When Agasa makes up an excuse to avoid demonstrating how the Fusae brand glass used in a murder, his real reason is he didn't want to further damage something with Fusae's name on it.

Offscreen Agasa learned that Fusae was Fusae Campbell which he recognised in The Clenched Scissors and the Clipped Letters case.

Ran Mouri

Ran met Fusae ten years ago.

Fusae and Ran met ten years ago prior to the current timeline. While waiting for Agasa under the ginkgo trees behind Teitan elementary school, she let Ran borrow her umbrella. She asked if was waiting for someone. At first, Ran persistent refused because Fusae will get wet, but she insisted. She then said, when she grows up, Ran will buys one of purses that she designed in return as repayment towards her. She showed a gingko leaf towards Ran and said that it's the mark, and also said although she is not famous now, she'll try her best. Then, they made a pinky promise together about it, with Ran agreeing to it. Ran managed to fulfill that present in the present timeline.

Trivia

Fusae brand's wallet.
  • The Fusae brand is referenced in other episodes. In the anime, it can be heard as the Sai brand instead. This is actually the result of mishearing the name Fusae: as when speaking Japanese, it is common to devoice the /i/ and /u/ vowels between voiceless consonants. So, in the name /fusae/, because both the /f/ and the /s/ are voiceless consonants, the /u/ vowel between them is devoiced, resulting in a very weak and difficult to notice presence. With the absence of the vowel, the preceding /f/ would be heard as an exhale and not be heard as part of the word, leaving just /sae/, itself easily misheard as /sai/ when spoken fast. The word itself is still being pronounced as /fusae/, and not /sai/.
  • Fusae Campbell's voice actress Eiko Masuyama also voices Fujiko Mine in the Lupin III vs. Detective Conan TV Special. Oddly enough, "Fujiko" (不二子) and "Fusae" have the same number of syllables, start with the same kana, and the "ji" in "Fujiko" means 2 (二), while the "sa" in "Fusae" can point to 3 (三), or "san".
