Background
They initially worked as maids for a former singer star. After she was murdered, they got introduced by a person, who was an acquaintance of the hotel staff, and became employees of that hotel.
Personality
They do not usually show any exaggerated emotions, and speak in a steady, ruthless tone. They know each other fairly well, and their speeches and movements are all synchronised, probably with telepathy. When they perceive a sense of crisis, especially when seeing horrendous murder cases, they hug together.
Appearance
They are identical twins with short brown hair, and wear a maid outfit.

Plot overview
A Cursed Mask Coldly Laughs (Anime: 184)
They are the maids that work for a mansion owner, which is divided into the east and the west wing. Honami greets everyone at the east entrance, while Minaho those at the west one. After supper, they inform the guests that there is a tradition of locking the door of the room of the masks after midnight. Both of them have stayed on the first floor: Honami in the east wing and Minaho in the west one, spliting by the room with the masks in the middle. After receiving an intimidating phone call in the west wing, second floor, Kogoro inquires Ran to wake Honami up and take the key to the masks room. As entered, they realise that the masks display are gone. Honami calls Minaho to open the door of that room from that side, to make way to the owner's bedroom. Later, they find her dead in a locked room, surrounded by those masks. Conan thus solved the case in front of them, who are completely astonished.
The Black Wings of Icarus (Anime: 203-204)
After losing their job due to the mansion owner'death, they get another job, as employees at a hotel on the plateau. The Mouri family also happens to have resided there for some time, thus the twins meet them once again. During the day, Kogoro and them are leaving behind to watch the hotel. In the afternoon, the twins accompany Kogoro watching a TV drama, starred by Yoko Okino. After that, they go to the kitchen and prepare dinner for everyone, as the rest will be back at night. After the arise of another murder, they become suspects.
Trivia
- Abnormally, these characters appeared in two anime-original cases, although having different screenplay writers: Koujin Ochi and Chiaki Hashiba. Ochi was the screenwriter who created these characters. When the second case was aired, Hashiba had already passed away, and precisely Ochi was responsible for the storyboard and episode director. Therefore, Shimogasa twins were not included in the original script by Hashiba, and they have been added by Ochi during the episode conception.
