Akemi Miyano (宮野 明美, Miyano Akemi), also known by her alias Masami Hirota (広田 雅美, Hirota Masami), is a supporting character in the manga and anime franchise, Detective Conan. Akemi is the older sister of Shiho Miyano, and both were members of the Black Organization. However, unlike her sister, Akemi was never considered a high-ranking member. Akemi dated Shuichi Akai while he was infiltrating the Organization. Akemi was shot by Gin and killed after she performed a bank robbery. Although she dies in her first appearance, Akemi shows up numerous times throughout the series, mostly in episodes featuring Haibara, who looks at Ran Mouri as a spitting image of her sister.
Background[]
Akemi Miyano, the oldest child of Elena Miyano and Atsushi Miyano, was born into the Black Organization approximately some 25 years before the current timeline.[1] Unlike her younger sister Shiho Miyano, Akemi was never considered a high ranking member of the Organization and managed to live a mostly normal life, traveling about freely and going to school and college like normal, despite being watched over by the organization. Both of her parents later died an accident while she was young, orphaning Akemi and Shiho. Although her sister became a highly ranked codenamed scientist, Akemi remained in close contact with Shiho and served as her lifeline to normalcy. She only involved herself into the organization to try get Shiho out of it.
At some point 13 years ago, she attended Teitan Elementary School and graduated from it. She was in Class 6-A.[2]
Some five years before the current timeline, Akemi met undercover FBI agent Shuichi Akai who was using the alias Dai Moroboshi. He planned to date Akemi in order to get close to Shiho Miyano so he could gain standing within the Black Organization as part of his mission. Although Shuichi initially was just using her, they wound up really falling in love. Akemi discovered Shuichi was an FBI agent and guessed his plan but kept this knowledge secret even from him. Three years later, Shuichi's true allegiance was uncovered, and he was ejected from the Organization. Akemi then revealed that she knew his secret, and that she wished to leave the Organization and date him seriously.
This did not happen because Akemi was unwilling to leave without her sister, and the Black Organization would not allow Shiho to go because her work on the APTX 4869 project was extremely valuable. Although Shuichi stopped contacting Akemi for her safety, the Organization was planning to get rid of her anyway because her connection to Shuichi was considered a serious risk. The Organization could not simply eliminate her though because it would jeopardize Shiho's loyalty. The Black Organization finally put their plan to kill Akemi into motion two years later just after Shinichi had shrunk into Conan Edogawa.
Appearance[]
As Masami Hirota
Akemi is often noted to be very similar to Ran. Both Haibara and Shuichi get the feeling that they are alike. She is a pretty Japanese girl with long black hair and a medium height.
Personality[]
Akemi had a nurturing, kind, friendly, cheerful and outgoing personality, with a good sense of humor. Playful as a child, she enjoyed playing games and creating codes for other people, but never to hurt them. For example, she hid the work tools of her father's friends and happily watched as they panicked; however, she only wanted them to work less hard. Even though she knew of her elementary classmates’ mischievings, in the class memory capsule, she did not rat them out but simply wished everyone well. She was popular among classmates for her sweet nature. She appeared likable and well-adjusted considering that she had to change schools many times.
As an adult, she remained loving despite being in the Black Organization. She likely had to violate her moral code to complete criminal missions for them. However, she was strong-willed enough to arrange an escape deal for her and her sister. Although they rarely saw each other, she and her sister Shiho were very close and confided in each other. However, Shuichi says Akemi was always crying in the dark while pretending to be strong, suggesting that she had painful memories she did not want to burden other people with. Her selfless, nurturing, and slightly vulnerable personality reminds Shiho (as Haibara Ai) as well as Akai Shuichi of Ran Mouri.
Akemi was clever and calculating, given that she could plan a 1-billion-yen robbery. Her convincing disguise and acting eluded even Conan.
Plot overview[]
¥1,000,000,000 Robbery Case (Manga: 013-016, Anime: 13/128)[]
Akemi's death in the manga.
The Organization's plan to silence Akemi was to pretend to make a deal with her; in exchange for a successful one-billion-yen bank robbery, Gin told Akemi she and Shiho could go free. The Organization thought Akemi would surely fail and thus they would have an acceptable reason to kill her. Akemi hired two partners to help her. Kenzo Hirota, a Tokyoite with no family, would be the get-away driver, because he used to work as a taxi driver. An unnamed giant man would serve as muscle. The day before the mission, she sends a text to Akai, explaining the situation and asked if he would want to go out with her for real, should she manage to get out of the organization.
Akemi and her two partners successfully pull off the robbery, killing a guard in the process. Unfortunately, Kenzo Hirota then backstabs Akemi and the giant by running away with the billion yen. In order to track him down, Akemi and her partner approach different detectives pretending to be Kenzo's relatives. Akemi creates the alias Hirota Masami, borrowing from a professor friend's name, and changing her hairstyle so she appears to be a high school girl from Yamagata looking for her missing "father".[3] Akemi approaches the then-not-well-known Detective Kogoro Mouri at his office and convinces him to help her. Kogoro begins to search for the men via his contacts. Sometime while Kogoro is searching for Kenzo, Akemi meets with Shiho at a restaurant and describes Conan to her. Akemi tells Shiho that Conan lives in the Mouri Detective Agency near the Kudo house that Shiho had visited earlier (as part of a search to ensure Shinichi was really killed by APTX 4869) and that he has the composure of an adult. Shiho then asks Akemi to tell her about the dangerous mission that Akemi had just performed, but Akemi tells Shiho she is fine and that she should stop working on that drug and try to get a boyfriend instead.
With Conan and Ran's help, Kogoro finds Kenzo and "Hirota Masami" pretends to be overjoyed at their "reunion". Later that night, Akemi and the giant man confront Kenzo to take back the money. A fight breaks out between the two men, resulting in the giant strangling Kenzo to death against Akemi's wishes. Akemi and the giant hang Kenzo's corpse from a rope to make it appear like a suicide, grab the cash, and leave for a hotel. Akemi slips some pills given to her by Gin into the giant's drink so she could take the money, unaware that they were laced with cyanide and would kill him instantly. With both of her partners dead, she hides the suitcases of money at the hotel's front desk and takes a taxi to meet Gin and Vodka at the shipping yard, with Conan following closely behind.[4]
When she arrives at the meeting place, she tells Gin that she will only tell him where the money is after he frees her sister, but Gin goes back on his word, saying her sister is far too valuable to let go of. He gives her one last chance to cooperate, but she refuses and he shoots her. Conan arrives at the scene with her bleeding out.Akemi is one of the few characters in the show that knows Conan is Shinichi Kudo, as he admits it to her while she is dying in front of him, while she tells him about the dangers of the Black Organization and tells him where the money is.[5] Akemi's death is ruled a suicide, as Gin's fingerprints were not found on the gun that killed her,[5] but her fingerprints were.[4]
