Magic Kaito character

Kashiko Shikibe (式部 鹿紫子 Shikibe Kashiko?) is a minor character in Magic Kaito and Detective Conan.

Appearance and personality

Shikibe is an older woman with light-colored, curled hair and a hawk nose, which suggests some degree of non-Japanese ancestry. She is also fairly tall, as she sits level with 5'11" Saguru Hakuba when driving a car. In her only visible appearance, she wears a suit coat over a black turtleneck and glasses on a thin chain. Even though she appears stern, she is in fact quite affectionate towards her master and takes care of him lovingly.

However, later, she is seen to be much shorter, being about one foot shorter than her master, who has to crouch to be at the same level as her.

Appellations

Plot overview

Shikibe first appears in the Twilight Mansion Case, which marked Saguru Hakuba's first appearance as well. She drove him to the Mansion and remained hidden nearby in case he needed help. They marked the top of her car with a large 'X' so Saguru's hawk Watson could find her and relay messages between them.[2]

She is also mentioned in the Detective Koushien. However, this time Saguru has come alone and told her not to wait for him.

The housekeeper also appears in the Dark Knight case in Magic Kaito. She is driving Saguru to the Kaitou Kid heist, but Kaito tricks her into taking a route right through a traffic jam which slows their progress, so Saguru gets out of the car and runs the rest of the way.

Later, during the Green Dragon heist, she serves tea to her master and is allowed a ski vacation in Canada, which she enjoyed quite well. However, her master later joined her thinking she was kidnapped, which was a ploy by Kid to send him away from the heist.

Name origin

Her full name is revealed in Magic Kaito chapter 37. Like other characters in Magic Kaito, her name contains a color. The kanji 紫 (shi) in "Kashiko" means "purple". Her name may come from Murasaki Shikibu (紫 式部), famous Japanese poet from the XIth century.

Trivia

  • The word 'baaya' means either 'old housekeeper' or 'wet nurse'.
