Background
Jugo is the younger twin brother of Sango Yokomizo, who is also an inspector from Kanagawa police district. Both started their police career in Saitama, but some time later, Sango transferred to the Shizuoka district. However, they do stay in touch and have even assisted each other in various (and even locally unrelated) cases.
As children, Sango and Jugo would often play with other kids near the beach. Both brothers were actually afraid of swimming in the ocean, but while Jugo would go near the water, Sango was so scared that he would never even leave the boat.[2] Thus, Sango, even as an adult, does not know how to swim.[3]
Personality
Unlike his brother Sango, Jugo is serious, stern, less easygoing, and more impatient. Jugo is considered an adept inspector, but because of his habitual sinister stare, he appears even more intimidating than his brother. As a result, he is not very popular with many people outside the force, especially if they can compare him with his brother.
In addition, Jugo is, unlike his brother, very critical of Kogoro Mouri, whom he nicknames Smoking Kogoro (煙の小五郎 Kemuri no Kogorō ) because of his heavy smoking habits, instead of by his more common nickname Sleeping Kogoro (眠りの小五郎 Nemuri no Kogorō ). He is also not a big fan of Conan Edogawa and the Detective Boys, often yelling at them and telling them to stay away from an investigation; as a result, they believe that Sango is the nicer of the two brothers and the only one able to smile, and Haibara declares that even if they have a similar appearance, their ways of speaking and personalities are different[4]. However, when they do get through to him, Jugo always readily listens and considers their opinions. He is also quite capable in his own right, skeptical about suspects' alibis, and quick to spot obvious discrepancies in a case; he has shown to be able to resolve intricate cases while only relying on a few hints from Conan.[2]
He also seems to have a strong sense of moral. In a case, the murderer mocks his girlfriend about how he was only going out with her to use her as a scapegoat for his murder, Jugo hit him in the face with his elbow and told him that if he continued he might need to 'stretch' his leg (hinting that there would be more beating).[5]
He is also a competent officer in the heat of action, ready to threaten his own life without hesitation to protect the safety of a civilian[6].
Appellations
Plot overview
Chinatown Murder Case (Manga: 348-350, Anime: 284-286)
Jugo is called to investigate the murder case at the Chinese restaurant. Thanks to his resemblence to his brother, Kogoro initially thinks that they are the same person (and that Sango has changed his hairstyle); Jugo clears the misunderstanding by telling Kogoro coldly that he has a twin brother.
Poisoned Fisherman Case (Manga: 461-462, Anime: 366-367)
Butsumetsu Murder Case (Manga: 497-498, Anime: 417)
Jugo is asked by his brother to help out in a case involving twins. Although Jugo does not seem to be very eager about this, he still agrees to help.
Seashell Hunt Case (Manga: 526-527, Anime: 443-444)
Jugo is called to investigate the death of a man who seems to have drunk poison in his car. He first shows some doubts, but then concludes that it was a suicide; however, once hinted by Conan, he discloses the culprit's name and stratagem. This case is his first encounter with the Detective Boys.
Ikkaku Rock Case (Manga: 665-666, Anime: 542-543)
This is Jugo's second encounter with the Detective Boys. Despite being able to make some valid deductions, he is unable to understand the dying message, and so at the end it is still Conan who solves the case.
Onsen Murder Case (Manga: 723-724, Anime: 597-598)
Steamy Relations (Manga: 857-858, Anime: 740-741)
Again, Jugo is not able to solve the case on his own. His most notable action in this case is hitting the murderer with his elbow as the murderer talks unremorsefully about him having broken the heart of countless girls, manipulating his current girlfriend (whom he does not love at all) etc.
Marriage Partner Searching Party Murder Case (Manga: 1085-1087, Anime: TPD)
Non-canon plot overview
The Private Eyes' Requiem (Movie: 10)
Although being part of the Investigation department, Jugo is sent to secure an art museum apparently targeted by Kaitou Kid. Later in the movie, he puts his life in danger in order to protect a kid threatened by a bomb, getting injured in the process.
Raven Chaser (Movie: 13)
Jugo is called to the police conference for the serial murder case. He is reluctant about calling in Kogoro to help the police and letting his brother follow him in his aberrant strategies.
Relationships analysis
Sango Yokomizo
Sango and Jugo are twin brothers. They seem to be in good relations, but Jugo disapproves of the way that Sango tends to admire every of Kogoro's theories. He sometimes prevents him from going to ridiculous lengths of following him. He is however willing to give a hand to his brother's investigation.[10].
Kogoro Mouri
Unlike his twin brother, Jugo is not fond of Kogoro Mouri. He nicknames the detective "Smoking Kogoro" due to his heavy smoking habit.
Chihaya Hagiwara
Jugo is her superior and he got angry at her for what she did. But she doesn't seems to afraid Jugo. Jugo said he will report something other than truth and blushed and Chihaya said Of course, Love you, Jugo. From what Chihaya said Jugo asked her to go to dinner with him.[11] Jugo tried to remember Chihaya number at the masquerade party as well as Jugo and Chihaya's feelings for each other seemed to have strength during their time at the masquerade party.[12]
Conan Edogawa and the Detective Boys
Shinobu Ooe
Name origin
Jugo's name comes from TV Drama Stray Detective Pure-Hearted Group character Shigetada Yokomizo (横溝 重忠 Yokomizo Shigetada ). His twin Sango's given name combines with his to make a numerical pun: three (三 san ) times five (五 go ) makes fifteen (十五 jūgo ).
