## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Momiji_Ooka&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Momiji Ooka is a second-year student from Kyoto Senshin High School. Her family is linked to the Ooka Group and likely to be wealthy, since she has a personal butler and her grandfather is a former Prime Minister[](#cite_note-f114-2), third to [Renya Karasuma](/wiki/Renya_Karasuma "Renya Karasuma") and [Suzuki plutocrats](/wiki/Suzuki_family "Suzuki family") in Tokyo.[](#cite_note-3) She has romantic interest in [Heiji Hattori](/wiki/Heiji_Hattori "Heiji Hattori") and refers to him as her future husband. They knew each other when they were kids and played karuta together.[](#cite_note-4) This makes her a rival of [Kazuha Toyama](/wiki/Kazuha_Toyama "Kazuha Toyama") and she tries to disrupt their romance.
Momiji appears to be an extremely competent detective, as she saw through a trick merely based on a sound she heard in a phone call with her butler, [Muga Iori](/wiki/Muga_Iori "Muga Iori"), before [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa"), Heiji or [Amuro](/wiki/Rei_Furuya "Rei Furuya") did. Later, Iori says that her deduction was great as usual, implying that she regularly solves cases and also says that Heiji's great deductive skill was to be expected from the person that Momiji chose as her partner.
## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Momiji_Ooka&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Personality")]
Momiji has a close personal interest in Heiji's cases as he makes the news. For some reason, she believes Heiji will be her future husband, despite his feelings for Kazuha. She and Heiji did meet as children and apparently made a promise. Momiji is also extremely smart, especially in regards to catching details that others miss. When Iori informed her via phone some details about a case Heiji was working, Momiji actually caught other signals that Iori himself had missed and used them to reach a correct deduction that would greatly help Conan and Heiji. Iori also implies that Momiji engages in her own detective work at times, as she is no stranger to making such deductions. Momiji seems to be very girlish and a bit vain, plus fond of taking some degree of care in her appearance.
## Appearance[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Momiji_Ooka&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Appearance")]
Momoji is a fair-skinned girl of average height and slender frame. She is considered very beautiful with noticeably full lips and wavy, ash-blond hair that is cheek-length and parts on to the left of her forehead. The most noticeable trait about her is her very large bust, which is bigger than most girls her age, so much that the flat-chested [Masumi](/wiki/Masumi_Sera "Masumi Sera") was jealous and baffled and [Okita](/wiki/Soshi_Okita "Soshi Okita") to simply referring to Momiji as "Boobs". She is a very stylish girl with pierced ears and small earrings, and her nails are seen painted in intricate patterns.
## Abilities[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Momiji_Ooka&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Abilities")]
Momiji is a skilled detective as she could solve a case just from hearing voice from phone and noticing knowing names of Kyoto on code.
