## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=James_Black&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
According to James Black's own account, he was born in London, England, in the Marylebone district of Westchester City, the same district where the original [Baker Street](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baker_Street "wikipedia:Baker Street") is located, before he moved to Chicago, growing up as a naturalized American citizen.[](#cite_note-1)
Black first met [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa"), the [Detective Boys](/wiki/Detective_Boys "Detective Boys"), and [Professor Agasa](/wiki/Hiroshi_Agasa "Hiroshi Agasa") when he was visiting Japan to attend an animal show. They saved him from a crowd of reporters who mistook him for a famous American actor, the patron of the show. In fact, he was shortly afterwards kidnapped because of this, and it was thanks to Conan and the Tokyo police that Black was safely rescued from a dangerous hostage situation.[](#cite_note-2) At this time, Black developed a deep respect for Conan's intellect, calling him "Cool Guy".
Conan didn't meet up with Black again until he encountered [Jodie Starling](/wiki/Jodie_Starling "Jodie Starling") again while trying to save a popular politician from an assassination attempt by the [Black Organization](/wiki/Black_Organization "Black Organization"). It was at this time that Black's allegiance with the FBI was revealed; Black is in fact the head of operations on the hunt for the Organization in Japan, and ever since this revelation, he and his colleagues have worked closely with Conan whenever their common cause would bring them together.[](#cite_note-3)
## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=James_Black&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Personality")]
Stoic and collected, James Black often lets his underlings, chiefly [Jodie](/wiki/Jodie_Starling "Jodie Starling") and [Shuichi](/wiki/Shuichi_Akai "Shuichi Akai"), take the initiative, knowing their capabilities, and for the same reason he listens to Conan's judgements as well.

James is first seen getting mistaken by reporters for Randy Hawk, a rich person who sponsors zoos and animal shows. After Conan realizes that James wasn’t Randy Hawk, he and the detective boys save him by pretending that he is their grandpa. James decides to invite them out for lunch as gratitude for helping him but on the way to get his car, he gets kidnapped by some fake policemen who mistake him as Randy Hawk and are using him as a hostage for ransom. Before he got forced in the car, James left a clue for Conan to find him in a police car. After James is saved from the kidnappers, he disappears before the police can question him and meet up with [Shuichi Akai](/wiki/Shuichi_Akai "Shuichi Akai"), the man from the bus incident. It is revealed that James knew that the kidnappers were fake policemen due to them not asking for his name in the beginning. James asks Shuichi that since he called him if it is possible to get back with his “lover”, which Shuichi says yes too.

James picks up Jodie and Conan from his car and pursues the Black Organization to stop their assassination plans. With help from Conan, James is able to catch Kir and chases her but due to an accident, Kir goes into a coma and has to be brought to the hospital. After Conan realizes that the Black Organization are about to target Kogoro, James drive to the detective agency and arrives just in time for Conan and Shuichi to save Kogoro from them.

James asks Jodie whether Rena Mizunashi has regained consciousness yet, to which Jodie says that she hasn’t. James is worried that the longer it takes for her to wake up, the likelihood of the Black Organization rises as well.

### Colleagues[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=James_Black&action=edit&section=26 "Edit section: Colleagues")]
#### Jodie Starling[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=James_Black&action=edit&section=27 "Edit section: Jodie Starling")]
[Jodie](/wiki/Jodie_Starling "Jodie Starling") and James hold a close subordinate relationship and James is shown to trust Jodie's judgement deeply and recognizes her strengths and weaknesses. He is close enough to Jodie to understand her thoughts, mainly as shown when he cautions Camel not to speak too much about Akai in front of her, understanding that Akai had been more than a mere FBI colleague to Jodie. The two have been acquainted prior to the series at least 20 years ago following the death of Jodie's father. Due to his respect for his deceased friend and concern for the girl's safety, James consistently tried persuading Jodie to join the Witness Protection Program, though the latter constantly refused over and over until a point at time in which she made a deal with James to join the Witness Protection Program under the promise that she be guaranteed a position in the FBI when she grew older. Despite often taking over the role of giving out orders, Jodie holds deep loyalty to James, whom she has shown to somewhat view as a father figure.
#### Shuichi Akai[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=James_Black&action=edit&section=28 "Edit section: Shuichi Akai")]
While their relationship is not shown as much as Jodie's, it is shown that James holds high regard in [Akai](/wiki/Shuichi_Akai "Shuichi Akai")'s abilities and respects and trusts him deeply and vice versa. James has also noted Akai's habit of performing missions on his own and planning things without informing him or Jodie, but does not appear to bear a grudge because of it. He also appears to be knowledgeable of Akai's loner personality coming from Akemi's death, showing that he understands Akai quite well despite not having interacted with him much. James had shown to have taken Akai's death hard (though not to the same extent as Jodie), but is still able to maintain his composure despite the obvious tragedy. Later on, it was revealed that Black was in on the ploy to fake Akai's death, which would explain his maintaining his composure. A major hint to this is provided in the movie *[Dimensional Sniper](/wiki/Dimensional_Sniper "Dimensional Sniper")*, where [Subaru Okiya](/wiki/Subaru_Okiya "Subaru Okiya") (apparently Shuichi's undercover identity) is shown to be in secret contact with Black.
Speculatively, James Black's English background may have assisted the young British-Japanese Shuichi Akai in fast-tracking his way to a US citizenship and then enrolling in the FBI.
Curiously, James correctly identified Sera Masumi, Akai's younger sister, as being female, when almost every other person in the cast initially mistook her for a boy. James denies having seen her before, but it may also be related to any connections he had with Akai's family in the past.
#### Andre Camel[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=James_Black&action=edit&section=29 "Edit section: Andre Camel")]
While their relationship is even less shown than Akai's, it is shown that James still trusted and respected [Camel](/wiki/Andre_Camel "Andre Camel"). The two were shown spending time as friends along with Jodie at a liquor store at one point, where Camel's less-than-sensitive personality causes Jodie to storm out of the store, with James later cautioning Camel to not mention Akai's name in front of Jodie, knowing that she had taken his death particularly hard, having viewed him as more than a mere FBI colleague.
### Others[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=James_Black&action=edit&section=30 "Edit section: Others")]
#### Conan Edogawa[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=James_Black&action=edit&section=31 "Edit section: Conan Edogawa")]
James is one of the few adults that views [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") as an equal and the even fewer few that seemingly knows his true identity due to being part of the FBI. As such, James holds high regard in Conan's abilities and trusts him deeply. He also has the habit of calling Conan, "Cool-guy".
## Name origin[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=James_Black&action=edit&section=32 "Edit section: Name origin")]
Haibara notes that James Black's name is similar to [James Bond](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bond "wikipedia:James Bond"), and both are British as well. Conan points out that there is another British man with a similar name: [James Moriarty](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Professor_Moriarty "wikipedia:Professor Moriarty").

* In James' first appearance, he was blond.
* James likes [Fujiko Mine](/wiki/Fujiko_Mine "Fujiko Mine").[](#cite_note-7)
* James is completely unrelated to, however he deeply resembles the suspect, Edward Crowe from the episode [The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case](/wiki/The_Locked_Room_in_the_Sky:_Shinichi_Kudo%27s_First_Case "The Locked Room in the Sky: Shinichi Kudo's First Case"), although they are both English Speaking, and possibly British.
* According to Gosho in JUSTICE PLUS Super Digest Book, he was aware of Sera Masumi when she visited the FBI and he saw her.
