Koji Haneda (羽田 浩司 Haneda Kōji?) was a professional shogi player and Shukichi Haneda's brother-in-law in the manga Detective Conan.

Background

Koji was a talented shogi player that his "not-related-by-blood"[1] brother, Shukichi Haneda, deeply respected. Many had high hopes that Koji would win all seven of the major Shogi titles.

He died under mysterious circumstances when in the United States participating in a chess tournament, a game he also enjoyed. Ai Haibara suggests that Koji may have been murdered with APTX 4869 since a person with the same name appeared on the list of people killed by the poison.

Personality

Koji's motto was "one should stick with one's original plan" (初志貫徹 shoshi kantetsu?).
