Background
Initially he was introduced as a minor role in the 4th Detective Conan Movie. He then onwards takes more of a noticeable role throughout the series.
Personality
Chiba can be serious, but he is shown to be a mostly light hearted officer. He has been a huge fan of Kamen Yaiba for a long time, and loves to eat. He is sometimes shown stuffing his face, usually with burgers and sodas, but usually this is merely done for comic effect. Nonetheless, Chiba can be very supportive, and is a big help, especially for using his size to catch criminals. He, as well as Yumi Miyamoto, is very supportive for Takagi's relationship and feelings for Sato, and is one of the few officers in the Tokyo district to not get involved in Shiratori's schemes to get the couple to break up.
Name Origin
Chiba's name comes from his voice actor Isshin Chiba. His original physical appearance was modeled after him as well.
