Appellations

Plot overview

Kawanakajima Murder Case (Manga: 913-917, Anime: 810-812)

This case marks Kuroda's first appearance. He came to the crime scene right after Shigeru Takeda's head was found in the river. Conan got surprised as he was a well-built and old one-eyed man, which partially fits Haibara's description of Rum. He hinted knowing that Conan was the brain behind the Sleeping Kogoro, which was a rumor he heard from the National Police Agency.

He was shown to be a scary person but in the end he turned out to be on Kansuke Yamato and Taka'aki Morofushi's side, helping them to catch the real killer in the case. Yui Uehara said that he had been in a coma for ten years after an accident and had pitch black hair before that. Kansuke jokely says that with a face like that he looked like a boss of some organization.

A Blog That Causes a Death (Manga: 918-920, Anime: 814-815)

Conan and Haibara were discussing about Kuroda. Ai said that they shouldn't worry because he didn't make any suspicious moves and he was in Nagano, far from the Black Organization. However, at the end of the case it was found out that he had moved to the Tokyo police department replacing Kiyonaga Matsumoto who presumably got promoted. A bit earlier in the case Takagi spoke with him (referring to him as the Superintendent), where he gave orders to Megure and Takagi that they should do what Conan tells them to do. When Takagi mentions that he was surprise to learn that Conan knew their new superintendent, he arrives saying that he had confident in at Conan could help with the case. He asked Conan to take care of him. Haibara got scared when Kuroda leaned in closer.

A Secret of the Big Couple (Manga: 925-927, Anime: 822-823)

Haibara said to Conan that she hadn't felt the Black Organization Aura from Kuroda. She had only gripped his shoulder because his face was and his expression were really scary. In fact, she implied Kuroda couldn't be Rum as he saw her and should have noticed she resembles Shiho Miyano. If this had happened, things would have gone out of control and Rum would've broken into Agasa's house and this didn't happen.

Rumi Wakasa's Neighbor Murder Case (Manga: 980, Anime: 896-897)

Kuroda reads on his phone an article about Rumi Wakasa catching a killer and comments that it was well done.

Burning Tent Murder Case (Manga: 987-989, Anime: TBA)

Kuroda is sitting at his desk looking at the details of the Case from 17 years ago. Shiratori brings Kuroda the file on the robber case that occurred at the elementary school at the time Rumi began working there. Shiratori also informs him that the Detective Boys are going camping with Rumi soon and gives him a pamphlet for the camp grounds. Kuroda goes to the camp grounds and spies on Conan's group through the opening of his tent. The tent next to his catches fire and he is forced to reveal himself. He catches Rumi spaced out staring in his direction and asks her if they should call the police. As Yuminaga's team investigates, Rumi accuses Kuroda of spying on someone.

Both to Shiratori and to Yuminaga, Kuroda calls Conan: "Sleeping Kogoro's bag of wisdom", perpetuating the rumor further.

Kyoto School Trip Case (Manga: 1005, Anime: TBA)

After the case is solved, Kuroda, along with Wakita is seen reading something on his phone that mentions Shinichi's involvement in the case.

Missing Maria Higashio Case (Manga: 1008, Anime: TBA)

He is seen reading the article where the blogger who claimed that Shnichi that she saw was nothing but an illusion, with a smirk on his face.

Speculation

Rum

Kuroda has a bad right eye which he hides behind a darkened glasses lens, but it is shown to be closed similar to Kansuke's eye socket and not an artificial eye like Rum is described to have. Kuroda is well built, and with his white hair he could be considered old, but it is not obvious how he could be mistaken as a feminine man. Haibara explains to Conan that she was afraid when Kuroda leaned in to look at her closely because his face was scary, not because she recognized him or because the scent of the Black Organization emanated from him. Ai also says he must not be a Black Organization member because, if he was, Kuroda would have recognized her as Sherry the traitor and attacked Agasa's house right away.[12]

Relationship analysis

Family and friends

Nagano Police Detectives and Investigators

They have respect for him and follow his orders.

Conan Edogawa

Conan is suspicious of Kuroda. Kuroda on the other hand seems to have trust in Conan's abilities, even goes as far as to order the police to follow Conan's instructions. He calls him the 'Brains behind the Sleeping Kogoro'. When Kuroda becomes the new Police Superintendent in Tokyo, he greets Conan with 'Yoroshikuna' (Take care of me) which could mean that he's hoping for Conan's help in the future.

Rumi Wakasa

It is unknown if they had a history together, but Kuroda seems to know something about Wakasa-sensei, judging from his remark that camping wasn't something she did. In addition, Rumi also seems to know the purpose of Kuroda on the camping trip was to spy on her.

Name origin

The name comes from Kuroda Kanbei (黒田 官兵衛 Kuroda Kanbee?, a.k.a. Kuroda Yoshitaka (黒田 孝高)), Japanese daimyo of the late Sengoku through early Edo periods.
