| − | '''{{nihongo|Ano Kata|あの方|That Person}}''' is what the [[Black Organization]] refer to their boss as. The true identity and gender of "That Person" is still unknown, with only a few insignificant facts about them revealed in the manga's 15 year (and counting) run. | |

| − | * The boss uses the first few notes of the song [[Nanatsu no Ko]] to encode his/her phone number. The number is #969#6261, which was purposefully made non-functional by Gosho Aoyama to prevent prank calls. The number might have a Tottori area code; but it is uncertain because of the way the number, including the area code, was altered to prevent prank calls. It is worth noting that Haibara reacts to the word Kurayoshi – a city in Tottori province, when she notices Shinichi Kudo had taken an interest.<ref>Manga Volume 45, File 9: Chapter 466</ref>
| |
| − | * The operatives dress in black, which Akemi says is supposed to resemble crows. This is probably an expression of the boss’s dress code preferences.
| |
| − | * He/She uses alcoholic codenames for agents.
| |
| − | * The boss is very careful. Vermouth says, “The boss is always careful to the extreme. He’s the type to ruin the plan by overthinking it.”<ref>Manga Chapter 704. "He" stands for a gender unspecific pronoun with no English equivalent.</ref>
| |
| − | * [[Vermouth]] is the boss’ favorite for an unknown reason and he/she allows her some degree of independence.
| |
| − | * The Boss thought [[Shuichi Akai]] could become the Black Organization’s silver bullet.<ref>Manga Chapter 434</ref> In that regard he/she's more like Vermouth than Gin who doesn't believe a single person who can take the syndicate down in one shot exists.

| |
| − | さとう：「金田一」の連載当初は、１年ぐらいだと思ってました。<br />
| |
| − | Sato: At the beginning of Kindaichi's serialization, I thought it would only last about a year.<br />
| |
| − | 青山：僕もネタ的に続かないから、３か月ぐらいかなと。<br />
| |
| − | Aoyama: I, too, thought that it [Detective Conan] would only last about three months, since it's difficult to continue material-wise.<br />
| |
| − | [http://www.detectiveconanworld.com/forum/topic/1555-translating-interviews/page__view__findpost__p__89133 Translation credit to JustWantAnAccount]</ref> This indicates that the boss might have been hinted early in Detective Conan.

| − | | |
| − | == Speculations ==
| |
| − | *The organization uses clever codenames, passwords, etc. based on mysteries and history. If the boss is behind the naming scheme then perhaps the boss has an interest in detectives and mysteries.
| |
| − | *If the FBI's assessment of the boss is correct, the boss is a forward thinker. The FBI believed he ordered the assassination of Yasuteru Domon who wasn't even part of the [[Wikipedia:Diet of Japan|Diet]] yet because he was hard on crime and had a chance of becoming the next [[Wikipedia:Prime_Minister_of_Japan|Prime Minister]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fan speculation has led to many theories concerning "that person's" identity, ranging from [[Vodka]] to [[Yusaku Kudo]] to even one of the [[Detective Boys]] after having taken [[APTX 4869]]. In a "Who is That Person" fan poll in [[Magazines#Weekly Shōnen Sunday|Shonen Sunday]], [[Hiroshi Agasa|Professor Agasa]] was ranked the most likely suspect, while [[Gin]] was voted in a Case Closed FUNimation community poll.
