Background
Goro is a young blue russian cat that is Eri Kisaki's pet. He wanders in Kisaki Law Office and also, in Eri's home but was a few times brought to Mouri Detective Agency so Ran could take care of him. He is the keyhole character for Volume 74 that he gained after a popular vote organized by Gosho himself. Eri once had another tomcat that was named Goro but it died because of an illness which incited her to buy another one whom she gave the same name. He also appeared in a video on a video sharing site with the same fashion as Youtube while he was playing with a flower pot.

He was once tempted by a stranger who put catnip to lure him but after a few minutes, the catnip effect wore off. He doesn't like to interact with others and run from strangers. He likes the care provided by Ran, Eri and Midori. He has a strong sense of protection after he tried to stop kidnappers to take Eri. He is tempted to go on treats and candies.
