He was born in Onizawa Village, appears to be modelled by Shirakawa-go[1], a World Heritage site in Gifu Prefecture. Then, two months later, the Onizawa area was officially registered as a World Heritage site.
He is surprised by the comments of Conan, Haibara, and the Detective Boys, but Kogoro pleases him to pay them no mind. What they've said, even an amateur could have figured out, and Ran asked the guys don't get in the way. However, at their second meeting, he asked them to give him the details of the case again.
He has head about Professor Agasa, who solve cases with deductive abilities on par with Detective Mouri's, and is impressed. Conan boasts they're both him, though, and Haibara warns him they'll hear him.
