| | | | |
| − | == Background ==
| + | [[Category:Soft Redirect]] |
| − | Rum is actually disguised as Kanenori Wakita, a sushi chef at Beika Iroha Sushi. He is the close aide of the [[The Boss|boss]] of the [[Black Organization]], then he is their second-in-command, and changes his voice with a machine when he communicates with his subordinates. He was involved with the death of [[Kohji Haneda]] seventeen years ago. He is interested in [[Shinichi Kudo]] and charges [[Rei Furuya|Bourbon]] to gather information about him. He also considers [[Yusaku Kudo]] a threat to the organization and orders [[Vermouth]] to investigate him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Personality ==
| |
| − | As Kanenori Wakita, he is a true [[Wikipedia: edokko|edokko]] ("child of Tokyo") and has the stereotypical personality: forward, confrontational, and fond of justice and sushi. Bourbon describes Rum as exceedingly impatient. He has a keen sense of observation, being able to detect different message codes due to the difference in romaji writing. As such, that saves his subordinates from being captured and allows them to counter attack the [[Federal Bureau of Investigation|FBI]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Appearance ==
| |
| − | [[File:EP864 Rum.png|thumb|right|200px|Rum's appearances.]]

| − | Rum is an older bald man with a strong build, where he has damaged the left eye and replaced it with one artificial. When disguise as Kanenori Wakita, he has short black hair, a toothbrush mustache, prominent buck teeth, and soft medical dressing over his left eye.
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are conflicting accounts of his overall appearance and build among the Black Organization members, but he fabricated them to keep his identity a secret. Some think Rum is a strongly-built man, some say he looks feminine, and some say he is an old man.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Abilities ==
| |
| − | He has relatively good deduction skills just like [[Conan Edogawa|Conan]], liking mystery since he was a child. He was also able to brainwash [[Curaçao]]. He can't safely wield the knife due his injured eye.

He also deduces it is very out of character for Kogoro. Conan, worried about Rum, wants to know what happened to Wakita's eye. He turns out to be a fan of Kogoro's and wants to know about Kogoro's cases. Kogoro tells him about the recent [[A Cottage Surrounded by Zombies|zombie murder]], leaving out certain embarrassing details. A pickpocketing case then coincidentally falls into their laps. He challenges Kogoro to a deduction contest: a race to figure out which customer stole the lady's million yen winning ticket first. He cleverly and decisively comes up with excuses to keep all the suspects from leaving the sushi bar when they try to leave to avoid being accused. Although disappointed he won't get to see Kogoro in action, he is also first to propose a solution, which is very nearly close to correct, although he might have made his error in order to test Sleeping Kogoro in action. However, since he was mistaken, Conan darts Kogoro to put the case to rest decisively. He is impressed and asks to be Kogoro's disciple in exchange for discounts on sushi. Kogoro accepts, but it isn't clear if the response was serious.

| |
| − | === The Darkest Nightmare (Movie: [[The Darkest Nightmare|20]]) ===

| − | Rum doesn't appear in this movie directly:
| |
| − | * Haibara visualizes his three black figures, and his artificial eye in her hallucination.
| |
| − | * Rum sends orders to Vermouth and Gin ordering them not to execute Bourbon and [[Hidemi Hondo|Kir]] because he received a new message, apparently from Curaçao but in reality from Agasa as instructed by Conan, that they weren't NOCs.

| − | == Relationships analysis ==
| |
| − | === Black Organization ===
| |
| − | ==== The Boss ====

| |
| − | | |
| − | ==== Curaçao ====
| |
| − | [[Curaçao]] is a member who works as Rum's right-hand agent, but has only appeared in the non-canon movie. In the past, because her brain recorded facts inconvenient to the organization, Vermouth was about to execute her, but Rum decided to appoint her as his right-hand agent.
