Taii (大尉 Taii?), also known as Soseki (漱石 Soseki?), is a character in the anime and manga franchise Detective Conan.

Background

Taii, aged under 1, is a kitten stray cat that lives in the streets of Beika City. He usually settles up in Beika 5-chome near Mouri Detective Agency and likes to lure around Cafe Poirot. He used to have an owner though but because Teishi Masuko, his master, was moving, Taii alias Soseki went walking a bit everywhere in their appartment and got lost. Too lazy to write panels for people to search for him, he decided to move alone and to forget it but since Taii saw him get in the Cheetah Delivery Company truck, he tried to chase it but lost track of it. He tries to spot his master everytime he sees a similar truck and being a baby, he isn't pretty well-trained to follow tracks and his master. He eventually found his master when Azusa and the Cafe Master decided to write a notice in the journal about them having found a stray cat but it wasn't that easy to find his master because they had to deal with 3 eventual owners instead of one. Using his intelligence Conan helped Taii to distinguish the good owner and Taii happily returned with him. His return wasn't long with Teishi since he was struck by an unknown culprit who resented him and finished in the hospital. He therefore returned to Poirot with Azusa, the Cafe owner and Amuro. Being a calico male cat, he is pretty rare because of certain influencial facts making it possible to find male calico cats in only 1 in a thousand of them. A specimen like him can be sold at thousands of dollars to tens of thousands.
