Popular characters known as "tsundere" appear in various anime. However, when watching Detective Conan, although there are many female characters, it seems like it's hard to find a character that fits the description of tsundere. However, there is one special tsundere character in Detective Conan. That person is Kisaki Eri, Kogoro's wife and Ran's mother! Eri is usually cool and prickly, but at key moments she shows her dere side towards Kogoro. This time, let's take a look at Kisaki Eri!

Whenever the two meet, a marital quarrel is a given. Most of the time, it's verbal rather than physical, and Kogoro always ends up being defeated. By the way, although she uses her maiden name, "Hime," her name remains "Mori" on her family register, so the two are undoubtedly husband and wife.

Although Eri often fights with Kogoro, she cares deeply for her daughter, Ran, and they regularly meet up for meals together, fostering mother-daughter communication. He sometimes advises her, drawing on his own experience, to be careful when dating a childhood friend and a detective...
Her appearance is captivating.

Eri is 37 years old, which is by no means young, but she's a beautiful woman who attracts attention despite her completely unsociable personality. When she first appeared in the anime and came to the cafe, even Conan was captivated by her appearance, saying, "What an incredible beauty." (Shinichi hadn't seen her in 10 years and had forgotten what she looked like.)

You might think that such a beautiful woman would be ignored by those around her, but Eri married Kogoro when she was a university student. This means that they were married before she became a successful lawyer. Eri, a beautiful woman who even attracted attention as a student, would undoubtedly have been highly sought after if she had remained single and entered the workforce.

Eri, a top-notch lawyer, is a skilled attorney who has never lost a case in court. She has been nicknamed the "Queen of the Legal World." And the one who has repeatedly thrown down the gauntlet to her is Kujo Reiko, known as the "Madonna of the Prosecutor's Office." Kogoro sometimes gets caught up in the conflicts between the two.

While Eri describes Kogoro as a close childhood friend, she is also a classmate and friend of Yukiko. Their friendship continues to this day, and when they meet for the first time in a while, they call each other "Eri-chan" and "Yuki-chan," revealing their close friendship.
They even competed in a beauty pageant during their student days.

Yukiko is a very famous and beautiful actress, even though she retired after getting married. Even back then, her cuteness was unparalleled, with Eri describing her as "unbelievably cute." However, Yukiko and Eri received the same number of votes in the beauty pageant, and that year's beauty pageant is still talked about as a legend at Teitan High School to this day.

When Eri is involved in a case and meets Kogoro, they often fight, but towards the end of the story, there's a scene where she falls in love with him again due to one of his casual actions. It would have been a happy ending if it had ended there, but as usual, Kogoro makes a mistake and they continue to live apart...
Conan has a hard time dealing with Eri Kisaki

Conan was once captivated by a beautiful woman at first sight, but after learning that she was actually Ran's mother, he began to hide and avoid Eri. This is because it reminds him of the many times he was severely scolded as a child. This seems to have left a slight trauma on Conan's mind.

Seeing Conan hide and fear her, Eri wonders if he's started to dislike her. It seems that since they live together at the detective agency, she thinks of Conan as family. Not only is she fond of Conan, but she also senses that he is no ordinary person, thanks to the insight she developed as a lawyer.
Eri Kisaki's Cooking Skills Are Disappointing

She is beautiful and intelligent. Eri seems like a perfect person except for her unsociable nature, but she has one terrible flaw: her cooking skills. When Kogoro, Conan, and even Ran hear that Eri will be cooking, they all look visibly flustered and rush around trying to avoid having to cook. By the way, Eri doesn't consider herself a bad cook...
Eri Kisaki's beloved cat is "Goro-chan"

Eri has named her Russian Blue cat "Goro-chan" because "he purrs a lot," but no matter how you look at it, it's likely a reference to "Kogoro" (Kogoro). While she's harsh towards her husband, Kogoro, she speaks to her cat Goro-chan in a gentle voice and often smiles.
Goro-chan's voice is the same as Conan's!?

Goro sometimes lets out a cute cry, and that cry is voiced by Minami Takayama, who also voices Conan. Speaking of Minami Takayama, she's appeared as herself in the Conan anime, but it's surprising to hear her play a cat as well.
The moment Eri Kisaki became lovey-dovey!

Eri's most famous lovey-dovey moment is when she receives a birthday present from Kogoro! After solving the case, Kogoro gave him a present, and in return he kissed him on the cheek in front of Conan and Ran, calling him a "clumsy detective." Of course, there's a twist, and she later realizes that she gave Eri a rosary instead of a necklace...
Even after Kogoro begs her to come back...

Eri is also often affectionate when she appears in other scenes. There are scenes where he clearly looks happy, such as when they find the ring he lost in the pool, or when he rushes over to help Kogoro when he hears him calling his name while having a nightmare. He was particularly pleased when Kogoro asked him to come back, recording his voice and playing it back over and over again.

They're not close enough to fight... but when Kogoro's in trouble, Eri steps in to help, and when Eri's in trouble, Kogoro shows his manliness by climbing up the wall to the second floor to help her. When the investigation hits a dead end, Kogoro sometimes calls Eri for help, demonstrating their excellent teamwork.
