Subaru Okiya (沖矢 昴 Okiya Subaru) is an engineering student who currently resides in Shinichi Kudo's house next to Professor Agasa. It is strongly hinted that he is the Black Organization member Bourbon.
Background
Okiya is a graduate student attending Tokyo University to earn a doctorate degree in engineering. He originally lived at a boarding house, where the landlord's son nicknamed him "Red Man", after a firetruck, because he frequently saw him watering the plants. After the boarding house burned down in the Red, White, and Yellow Arson Case, Conan suggested he move into Shinichi's house, explaining to Agasa and Haibara that someone living in the house would help to hide his (Shinichi's) disappearance.[1]
Okiya is left handed and greatly admires the deductive power of Sherlock Holmes. He is also shown to be quite skilled at hand to hand combat, capable of knocking a knife out of someone's hand.[2]
Bourbon
As mentioned above, it is frequently hinted that he may be Black Organization member Bourbon. Okiya is intelligent and observant, much like Hidemi Hondou describes Bourbon. In both the Paper Airplane Case and the Department Store Bomber case he is shown to be exactly on par with Conan.[3][4] Okiya is also shown to be drinking Maker's Mark brand bourbon after the Paper Plane Case.[5]
During the Department Store Bomber Case, Okiya notices Bourbon's hated enemy Shuichi Akai, but when Akai turns to look in his direction, he has suddenly moved out of sight to the back of the crowd, hiding his face and smiling.[4] He also smiles when he sees Chianti in the building across the street, aiming at the store entrance.[6] Additionally, it is hinted that either he or Akai sent the text message that helped Kogoro Mouri finish Conan's deduction after the tranquilizer wore off, as both were present, hidden in the crowd, and left immediately after the case was solved.[7]
Ai has told Conan that Okiya definitely gives her the dreaded feeling she gets from the Black Organization,[8] and she became certain he was with them during the Ikkaku Rock Case, where he gave a speech to the culprit about how impossible it is to ever truly escape anything, a speech she felt was intended for her[2] When Ai asks why Conan would allow someone as suspicious as him live in the Kudo house, he jokingly answers "No one who likes Holmes can be bad",[1] but his real reason appears to be to observe him for suspicious activity.[9]
Ran also feels uneasy around him and thinks he looks familiar.[10] At Shinichi's request, Ran goes out of her way to refrain from talking to Okiya about him during the Paper Airplane Case, although Okiya seems to realize anyway who the mystery loving classmate Ran is talking about is.[10]
Personality
Okiya is generally shown to be quiet and reserved, often seeming unfazed by normally stressful situations, such as when Ran attacked him while he was brushing his teeth, believing he had broken into Shinichi's house.[11] He often tends to behave in a friendly and modest manner, smiling and rubbing the back of his head whenever someone compliments him or says anything about him.
Name origin
Okiya's name comes from Casval (sounds like Kyasubaru in Japanese) Rem Deikun, the real name of Mobile Suit Gundam character Char Aznable, whom Shuichi Akai is also named after.
