Muga Iori (伊織 無我 Iori Muga) is a character that appears in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.
Contents
Background
He seems to have extensive knowledge of European history. He is a butler of Momiji Ooka, a Kyoto high school student.
Appearance
Muga's face seems to be designed very similarly to Shuichi Akai and Shukichi Haneda, however the eyes have marks that are similar to Movie 20's Curacao and various minor case characters. He is wearing a hat that is identical to the hat worn by Tsutomu Akai in Shuichi and Mary's flashback images of him. What hair can be seen from under the hat on the back of his head is similar to that of Ethan Hondou. He wears glasses with thick black rims similar to Kohji Haneda's and a button up coat.
Later, when Muga is at the airport, he removes the glasses, the scarf and the hat and reveals that he has long, curly hair.
Personality
Muga is a loyal butler of Momiji, who vows to do his best to support her and her romantic endeavor with Heiji. He is confident that Kazuha won't be an obstacle for Momiji. Muga is also analytic and careful about planning for Momiji, making him a trustworthy butler. During the first encounter with Heiji and Conan, Muga has shown his improvising skills in answering Conan, Heiji and the police's questions to make them believe him. He is also stealthy and suspicious because Conan and Heiji "could not feel his presence" and later leaves the crime scene without being noticed by even the police.
Plot overview
Murder inside Café Poirot (Manga: 981-983, Anime: TBA)
Conan and Heiji meet at cafe Poirot and are served by Amuro when Muga drinking tea enters the conversation. All three detectives look surprised. He is present when the attempted murder takes place and makes sure that no one could've escaped through the front door. He introduces himself to the police as Shinichi Wada, borrowing the Japanese name of Dr. Watson. Later, he receives the solution of the case from Momiji through his earphone and relays a hint in form of Hyakunin Isshu poem to Heiji, Conan and Amuro, with which they manage to solve the case. After the case is solved, Muga travels back to Kyoto and in a call with Momiji at the airport, he approves of her choosing Heiji as her future partner and tells her that he will do his best to support her.
Kendo Tournament Muder Case (Manga: 990-993, Anime: TBA)
Movie 21: The Crimson Love Letter
Name origin
His name, Muga Iori, comes from Iori Sakakibara (榊原 伊織 Sakakibara Iori), a doctor and close friend of Ooka Tadasuke in the series Ōoka Echizen, and Muga Takewaki (竹脇 無我 Takewaki Muga), the actor who plays the role of Iori Sakakibara in the series.
The name "Shinichi Wada" (和田 進一 Wada Shin'ichi) that he introduces himself with sounds identical to the first name of Shinichi Kudo, however, for Iori it is written with the kanji for "progress" (進) instead of the one for "new" (新) used in Shinichi's name. The last name "Wada" is written with the same kanji as the last name of Hina Wada, a 17 year old high school student, a member of the Haido High School karate club and a friend of Ran, whom Conan previously met during a case. Shinichi Wada was also the localized name of Dr. Watson in one of the first translated releases of A Study in Scarlet in Japan.
