Kuroda Hyoue

Japanese name:

黒田 兵衛

Hyoue Kuroda is the former Nagano Police First Division Chief and a character within the manga and anime franchise Detective Conan. He is currently the Tokyo Police First Division Managing Officer.

Background:

Hyoue Kuroda was originally an officer from the National Police Agency. At some unknown point in the past, he became the victim of an accident, which put him in a 10-year long coma; that accident was what caused him to lose his right eye. His hair turned white due to the stress of the accident and he looked like a completely different person, and he says that he's missing a few memories. Detective Yui thinks that Kuroda has a prosthetic right eye as a result of the accident that put him in the coma. After having recovered, Kuroda was assigned to Nagano Prefectural Police as the Chief of the First Division, where he first encountered Conan. Some time after the Kawanakajima murder case, he was transferred to Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department to replace Kiyonaga Matsumoto. He has heard rumors about Conan being 'the brain behind Sleeping Kogoro' and seems to have trust in him.

Personality:

Kuroda is a very intimidating man, with the wound around his right eye being especially unnerving. Kogoro, Ayumi, Genta, Mitsuhiko and even Haibara have been scared by his demeanor and his face. His no nonsense approach to cases, coupled with his enigmatic persona keep those he works closely with on their toes. Unlike other policemen like Jugo Yokomizo, he is willing to listen to others than the police's thoughts on a case, as seen when he tells Kogoro that he is welcome to come with his own thoughts.
