After both Spider and Kaitou Kid escape, Hakuba falls asleep once more. Hakuba saves him by spraying him with water. Later, Hakuba forces himself to wake up when Kaitou Kid is caught in Spider's illusion. Kaitou Kid then disguises as Hakuba to get close to the gem, but the scheme is quickly figured out when the police finds Hakuba's sleeping body. He nearly captures the thief with sleeping gas, but Kaitou Kid takes his gas mask so Hakuba is taken down by his own trick. Hakuba humiliates the police and he figures out where Kaitou Kid was hiding. It is revealed that Hakuba has no interest in capturing Kaitou Kid, but rather, Spider who is part of the mysterious organization that Kaito is after. The target is a purple gem in the eye of the Bronze Statue. In the anime special adaptation of Hakuba's introduction, The Splendid Rivals, the circumstances of Hakuba's and Kaito's meeting have been altered. Hakuba fails to capture Kid but begins collecting clues as to Kid's true identity. According to Hakuba's father, Saguru is most interested in meeting the infamous Kaitou Kid and is taken to the Adam's Smile painting heist. Prior to arriving in Japan, Hakuba spent time as a detective in England and attended London Bridge High School. Main Article: Saguru Hakuba Appearances In Magic Kaito He also seems to have an eidetic memory, just as Shinichi, Heiji and Kaito have proven themselves to have, and is capable of remembering long strings of data, particularly (in Hakuba's case) precise times down to the millisecond. In the Twilight Mansion case, he showed himself to be skilled at billiards, and to have at least basic knowledge of falconry. According to Hakuba's own introduction to Aoko, Hakuba is 180 cm tall (5'11"), weighs 65 kg (143 lbs), was born on August 29th under the Virgo zodiac, and is blood type 'A'. Saguru Hakuba has brown-blonde hair his eye color is usually blue in the manga, but brown in the anime. He kissed Aoko's hand and tried to sweet-talk her into going on a date with him, And during the Detective Koushien he was particularly attentive to the female detective present, even promising that he would "solve the case for her." However, it's possible that in both of those cases his actions were at least partly intended to irritate Kaito and Heiji, respectively. Hakuba also appears to be something of a flirt. Kaito describes his tone as sugary yet obnoxious. In the Detective Koushien case in Detective Conan, he frequently mocked Heiji, calling him rash and hotheaded and repeatedly expressed his disappointment in Heiji's seeming incompetence, and despite being clearly defeated by Heiji's deduction, he showed no such regrets or humility. He displays an arrogant assurance in his ability to capture the Kaitou Kid, and conveys a superior attitude towards Inspector Nakamori's men in volume 3 of Magic Kaito. However, Hakuba displays a distinct sense of arrogance himself, particularly during his earlier appearances. His speech is usually formal and polite, like his attire for example, he uses the more humble pronoun 'boku' to refer to himself during the Detective Koushien case, while Heiji uses 'ore,' which is a cockier and less polite way of referring to oneself. In later appearances he has given up this look opting for a suit instead. During his first appearances in Magic Kaito, Hakuba is seen often wearing an Inverness cape and a deerstalker, much like the stereotypical portrait of Sherlock Holmes. He is even more extreme in his earliest appearances he notes during the Adam's Smile painting heist that Kaitou Kid is a minute and 13.02 seconds late. In cases, Hakuba tends to note the time to the second. In the Magic Kaito manga and 1412 anime franchise, his main goal is to capture the master thief, Kaitou Kid but in the Magic Kaito anime specials franchise, Hakuba's main goal is to capture the assassin, Spider and using Kaitou Kid as a bait.Īs a detective, Hakuba takes great interest in learning culprit's motives, asking "How come you did that?" Hakuba also pays a great deal of attention to time, carrying a pocket watch that only loses 0.001 seconds per year.
However, he does a lot of his work in England, as well as Japan, and claims to have handled more cases than Heiji. Hakuba is another teenage detective, just like Shinichi Kudo and Heiji Hattori.
