Aoko Nakamori (中森 青子 Nakamori Aoko) is a character in the manga franchise Magic Kaito, as well as the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.
Contents
Background
Aoko has been Kaito's best friend ever since they were young children, much like Ran and Shinichi in Detective Conan. Aoko currently attends Ekoda High School as a second-year student in class 2-B along with Kaito, Keiko, Akako, and Hakuba. Aoko dislikes the Kaitou Kid for making a mockery of her father, Ginzo Nakamori, but is unaware that Kid is actually her best friend in disguise.
Plot overview
Personality
Aoko has a tendency to refer to herself in the third-person. Aoko is usually calm but her temper can be riled up very easily, particularly when Kaito does something perverted such as trying to peek at her underwear.
Relationships analysis
- Aoko Nakamori and Saguru Hakuba
Prior to the heist in Volume 3, Chapter 3, Hakuba seems to flirt with Aoko after Kaito turns down Aoko's offer to go to the Prince Prince concert. Hakuba and Kaito then make a bet that if Hakuba manages to catch Kid then Hakuba will go to the concert with Aoko, and if he fails to capture the thief, Kaito will go instead. When interviewed before the heist, Hakuba notes "Tonight's battle has a special meaning to me".[1] Although initially excited to have Hakuba want to go to the concert with her, Aoko during the actual heist seems to want Hakuba to fail so that she can go to the concert with Kaito instead. This relationship has not been touched upon much since then because of Hakuba's limited appearances in Magic Kaito and Detective Conan.
Trivia
- Aoko shares a voice actor with Conan for her appearance in Detective Conan OVA 4 and episode 219.
- The name 'Aoko' means 'blue child' in Japanese. This contrasts with her classmate Akako Koizumi's name, which means 'red child.'
- Unlike her counterparts Ran and Kazuha, it has been suggested that Aoko has a high level of intelligence at least approaching that of her 'love-interest' Kaito. In the first file of the Magic Kaito manga, the two are causing havoc in the classrom; the teacher tries to get them to focus by asking first Kaito, then Aoko to answer a complicated math problem on the board, but both answer her question with hardly a glance at the board and continue with their mayhem.
- Aoko may be a fan of video games. She is seen playing one with Kaito during Magic Kaito, where she blames her frequent deaths on Kaito's stealing the best armor. In the Magic Kaito Special, the anime adaptation of the first chapter of Magic Kaito, when she receives a text from Kaito's mother informing her of his secret weakness, she raises her phone to the sky and cheers "Kaito's weakness GET!" a reference to the Legend of Zelda games and similar series.
