Detective of the East
All because of the simple fact that I don’t see him in action much. I don’t have anything against Heiji though. :) On another note, if you think about it, there are now two ‘Detectives of the East’ though the other one I think isn’t at par with Shinichi yet… does anyone know who ‘she’ is? :)
We now have the artists portraying Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha in the live-action. ^^
Hands down…
赤井秀一 / Akai Shuichi
There really isn’t much of a choice: James Black? Nah. Jodie Sterling? Well, I can’t forget her weird Japanese when she was Jodie Saintmellion (how do you spell that?) so it’s a minus. Andre Camel? Not enough cool scenes and air time to like (not to mention he’s basically why both Miyano Akemi is dead and Akai Shuichi is dead?).
Simple enough…
Karate-do
… because I do that. ^____^
Ok… so whose ‘idealistic childhood-friend-turned-lover story, with a few exceptions’ touched you the most?

高木渉 & 佐藤美和子 / Takagi Wataru and Satou Miwako
Yes, thankfully it’s not from the majority of couples. Even the newly formed one (Chiba x Naeko) and the one-episode long one (Agasa x Fusae) is based on the osananajimi formula (what is Chiba’s firstname anyway?). Well, why them? Just count the number of dedicated episodes for this pair. ^__^
It’ll be…

円谷光彦 / Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko
Nerdy as he is (he is, admit it), he’s the closest to any of the five geniuses among the three kids… I dare say even becoming the sixth, or one of the new geniuses when he reaches that age.
So it’s a choice among: Kudou Shinichi, Hattori Heiji, Miyano Shiho, Hakuba Saguru, and Kuroba Kaito….. hmmmmm…

白馬探 / Hakuba Saguru
Miyano Shiho too is actually a tempting choice - but I’ll go with him. I’ve never read/seen Magic Kaito so aside from the episodes that I’ve seen him in, I have no idea what he’s like… maybe that’s why I chose him. Haha, odd I know.
It’s none other than this guy:

毛利小五郎 / Mouri Kogoro
Even though he’s so foolish most of the time, he has his moments of cool… I’ve actually yet to see him become unusually sharp when it comes to Ran (when it comes to Eri or a close friend though, it’s a different story) but he’s just awesome to have around. And besides, counting all the episodes that aired, which parent do you see the most? ^__^

It’d be this guy: Yamato Kansuke, Inspector from Nagano Prefecture. He just has that violent cool aura emanating from him. Haha. XD
It’s actually a tie between this…
Murder Prophecy Cases
and this…
Sealed Room Murder Cases
For the first one, it’s just a rare case where we find the victim still alive - most of the episodes focus on looking for the culprit and how they killed the victim. For the second… well, let’s just say it’s for “future references.” >:D
I don’t actually have a favorite but…
Time After Time (花舞う街で) by 倉木麻衣
This song was used as the theme to the movie “Crossroads in the Ancient Capital” - the Heiji x Kazuha movie. Why this? Perhaps because it’s the only song played at the end that’s on my player. Haha! :D
It would be…
「愛は暗闇の中で」 by ZARD feat. 上木彩矢
Ai wa Kurayami no Naka de by ZARD feat. Kamiki Aya
The song was originally released in 1991 by ZARD, and it’s been re-arranged (?) and used as the OP Theme during the “Clash of Red and Black” Arc.
The still (I think) unknown…
Codename: Bourbon
I haven’t gone that far into the anime yet, nor have I read the manga to know the latest details on this guy. *Possible Spoiler* He may be Subaru… or Sera for all we know. ^__^
