Vodka holds a high-ranking position within the Black Organization, a criminal syndicate pivotal to the series. As Gin’s partner and managerial secretary, he oversees logistics—scheduling meetings, transmitting intel, and coordinating illicit transactions. His duties frequently involve hands-on engagement in the group’s activities, from blackmail and assassinations to covert operations. In one early mission, he and Gin extorted a gun-smuggling company owner, trading damning evidence for cash before moving to eliminate the target—a testament to his ruthless adherence to the organization’s methods.
Muscular and broad-jawed, Vodka dons a black ensemble accentuated by a red-striped fedora and sunglasses, mirroring classic mafia enforcer tropes. Despite his imposing physique, his occasional overtrusting nature exposes vulnerabilities. During a mission to retrieve a program from Suguru Itakura’s cottage, he overlooked a tracking device planted by Conan, resulting in a direct clash with the protagonists.
His career is marked by high-stakes operations. He aided in assassinating Akemi Miyano after her bid to secure freedom for herself and her sister, Shiho. In the Bullet Train incident, he and Gin negotiated a bomb deal, unaware Conan had thwarted their scheme. Another mission saw him detonate a spy’s car following a tense bar confrontation, exemplifying the syndicate’s flair for calculated, theatrical executions.
Though less analytically sharp than Gin, Vodka exhibits keen situational awareness—spotting irregularities in Sherry’s abandoned lab or detecting faint noises during Conan’s disguised calls. Skilled in marksmanship, his precision occasionally varies in anime portrayals. His loyalty to Gin and the organization remains absolute, enforcing hierarchy and executing orders without question.
Vodka’s media appearances include *Episode One: The Great Detective Turned Small*, where he coordinates a spy’s elimination in a bar. Interactions with figures like Vermouth and Rum underscore his standing within the syndicate, though he predominantly follows Gin’s lead. His codename, drawn from alcoholic beverages, mirrors the group’s naming tradition, cementing his entrenched role in its shadowy hierarchy.
