Muga Iori (伊織 無我 Iori Muga?) is the butler of Momiji Ooka's family.

Background

He seems to have extensive knowledge of European history.

Appearance

Muga's initial appearance at Café Poirot.

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 devoted to Momiji and 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. In turn, Momiji asks for Muga's opionion on Heiji and even sent him to Tokyo, so that Muga could see him with his own eyes; Muga approves of Heiji as the choice for her future partner.

Plot overview

Cafe Poirot Murder (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 murder takes place and makes sure that no one could've escaped through the front door. 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.

Personality

Name origin

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 the Mystery man it is written with the kanji for "progress" (進) instead of the one for "new" (新) used in Shinichi's name. His last name 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.
