Background
Heizo Hattori is the father of Heiji Hattori, the husband of Shizuka Hattori and the second highest ranking officer at the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, as Superintendent Supervisor.[1] He is close to Goro Otaki and Ginshiro Toyama, and it is due to his friendship with the latter that Heiji was able to meet Toyama's daughter Kazuha. He respects Sleeping Kogoro and thinks that he is a good detective, and does not suspect about Conan.
Personality
He is very serious and seemingly cold (he once punched Heiji in front of many people, and the punch was hard enough for Heiji to fall down; later it was revealed that he did so for Heiji to be more aggressive in solving the case, allowing Heizo to use him as a bait). However, in reality, he cares about his family members and friends, and also seems supportive of his son's aspiration to be a detective.
Skills
He possesses a very sharp intellect and observation skills. His intelligence is on par with Yusaku Kudo, as evidenced by both fathers's ability to solve Yuki-Onna Murder Case before their cons could and without even seeing the murder scene. He was able to correctly deduce the culprit in the murder cases that involved Hideyoshi Toyotomi's castle. His deduction skills were further demonstrated during a flashback, when he was able to solve case just by listening to the details on phone and give hint to Heiji. His police rank means that he is in command of many of the police officers of Osaka.
He used to practice kendo with Dosan Nagato, who would always beat him, and always fought his friend Toji Samezaki in kendo matches.

Relationships analysis
Shizuka Hattori
They appear to have a good relationship. Shizuka is not intimidated by his fierce personality, and he seems to listen to her.
Heiji Hattori
He seems to disapprove of Heiji's choice to be a detective. He knows his son very well, however, including how Heiji would react to being forcefully told to leave a case alone: rather than obey, Heiji continues to investigate and distracts the culprits, so that Heizo can surround the criminals with his police force. Hei does care for and will protect his son, but his brusque and stoic personality leaves him unlikely to say as much, or even if he is proud of him. Heiji, for his part, doesn't seem to care what his father thinks of him, and addresses him very informally. He will place himself between a dangerous criminal and Heiji in order to protect the latter.
Name origin
His surname stems from Inspector Hattori, a police officer who often cooperates with Detective Shunsaku Kudo of the TV drama Detective Tales, while "Heizo" Hasegawa is the main protagonist of Onihei Hanakacho.
Quotes
“ | He's just getting in the way! The spoiled brat lets all this nonsense about "high school detectives" go to his head. He's disturbing the body and the crime scene to feed his own ego. He's just a liability to preserving the evidence. Just now, two people died right under his nose while he couldn't do a thing to stop it. He figured the police had established a perimeter so nothing would happen. | „ |
— Heizo giving some "tough love" to his son. |
