Hidemi Hondou (本堂 瑛海 Hondou Hidemi), also known by her alias Rena Mizunashi (水無 怜奈 Mizunashi Rena), and by her Black Organization codename Kir (キール Kiiru), is a character in the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan.
Background
Rena Mizunashi Hidemi Hondou is an undercover CIA agent who has managed to infiltrate the Black Organization under the codename Kir. She has a younger brother named Eisuke. She was forced to kill her father, Eithan Hondo, who was also in the CIA, after a mistake nearly caused her to lose her cover in the organization.
Hidemi first meets Conan and the group in her news caster identity. For some time Rena has been stalked at her own housedoor, with sleeping pills left regularly on her doorstep. Rena's friend Yoko decides to call in Kogoro, who comes of course in Ran's and Conan's company. In order to track down the culprit, Conan pastes a bug next to her door.
Eventually, the stalker turns out to be a young boy. The reason for his leaving pills was that his late mother ostensibly resembles Hidemi, and in order to see her more regularly on TV, he has deposited the pills so she could have more restful sleeps. Facing these facts, Rena gently encouraged the boy to get over his mother's death and start his own life now. Shortly after Conan and the others leave, Rena also leaves her appartment, but in the process Conan's bug falls off and accidentally gets pasted onto the sole of her shoe. Right afterwards, to Conan's immense shock, she receives a call from no other than Gin, who directs her to the attempted assassination of a popular politician; under the guise of a TV interview, Rena is to guide him to a place where he can be easily dispatched.
Conan of course decides to intervene, and he, Professor Agasa and Ai take up the pursuit, during which they also meet Jodie Starling who tags along as well. They just barely manage to thwart the assassination, but the Organization decides to execute a backup plan, with Rena pursuing their target on a motorbike. When the FBI attempts to apprehend her, an accident ensues in which Rena is critically injured and falls into a coma. She is delivered into the Baker Clinic and kept under constant guard of the FBI.
Rena's Secret Shortly after these events, a clumsy young man named Eisuke Hondo moves into the neighborhood and decides to tag along with Kogoro. His suspicious behavior and his astonishing physical similarity to Rena leads Conan to believe that he somehow must be in cahoots with her.
