## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Genji_Kojima&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Genji Kojima first met [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") and the other [Detective Boys](/wiki/Detective_Boys "Detective Boys") during a "Super Kojima" contest, which is actually a front for the show's sponsor, an eccentric industrialist named Gonsaku Kojima, to find the thief who stole his expensive painting and murdered his beloved dog. However, the plan turns into a homicide case when the sponsor is murdered, and the three finalists, including Genji, become the suspects. Conan, however, manages to prove Genji's innocence and reveal the identity of the real culprit, who promptly denies it. However, Genji trips him up and confronts him so aggressively that he meekly admits his guilt and is subsequently arrested.[](#cite_note-1) Genta holds his father in very high regards. His residence is also a liquor store by the name of "Kojima Liquors".
## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Genji_Kojima&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Personality")]
He prides himself of being a true [edokko](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/edokko "wikipedia:edokko") ("child of Tokyo"). He has a strong sense of justice, is confrontational, loves sushi and speaks with a distinct, old-fashioned dialect.[](#cite_note-2) He can be harsh and demanding, but he is actually very kind and caring. Though he appears strongwilled, like his son, he may actually live under the thumb of his rather formidable wife.

### Genta Kojima[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Genji_Kojima&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: Genta Kojima")]
He is a relatively good father for Genta and treats him fairly. He wants Genta to be like him, an Eddoko so he introduces him to many ways of being that are proper to Tokyoite including picking sushi with your hands, eating at a real sushi shop etc. Genta is also aware of his father's liquor store and regularly goes there which helped him, in a case, to identify a victim who was in fact one of the store's regular customers.
