Since Yukiko was a famous beauty, Shinichi is frequently mentioned as being handsome in the series; he receives love letters from female students and is the crush of the celebrity Terumi Hoshino. Personality: Generally rational and calm. Having encountered many dismembered bodies at crime scenes, he often treats them as no big deal, a trait shared by police detectives. However, inheriting his mother's temperament, he also has a passionate side. This can make him appear arrogant to adults, as he often talks over the police. True to his detective nature, he is intensely curious and often acts recklessly. He admits himself that he cannot rest once he starts to uncover the truth of a case. Wealth: While perhaps not "diamond spoon" level, he grew up in a very wealthy environment. His father, Kudo Yusaku, is a world-famous mystery writer. While some criticize the low income of writers in reality, a mega-bestseller like J.K. Rowling makes this setting plausible. With Yusaku's novels translated and sold worldwide, adapted into films, and merchandised, his income is likely massive. His mother, Kudo Yukiko, was also a famous actress who made it to Hollywood at a young age; though her career was short, the family is economically very well-off from her earnings alone.
