Background
Fumimaro Ayanokoji is an Inspector in plain clothes from Kyoto Prefectural Police. He is known to be polite and snarky, as well as of noble descent. He has no close friends, with the sole exception is the cute little chipmunk he takes everywhere with him. He was supposedly a school mate of Shiratori. He seems to be attracted by Suzu Chika, a 19 years old maiko. He lives in the ancient district of Kyoto, that was the key hint for movie 7, and works in the Prefectural Headquarters. He is said to be a rather competent and intelligent inspector, which is the reason why he has been promoted so quickly before age 30. He dispose of a wide range of staff for investigating and stays punctual.

Different looks
Manga vs. anime
In the manga, files 33-35 are the first and only time when Kogoro goes in train to Kyoto for a friend wedding. Ran came along to see Kyoto for the first time, and brought Conan rather than leave him alone in Tokyo. The Kyoto police came at the end of the case, but the corresponding anime episode replaced them with Inspector Megure and the police. In the manga, he says to have met Conan and his associates before, but not Shinichi and Heiji, then the movies are not canon.
Name origin
His last name is a pun made for movie 7, when he was supposed to only last one case about the streets of Kyoto, which were the main hint of the movie.
