## Background[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Inspector_Yuminaga&action=edit&section=1 "Edit section: Background")]
Yuminaga is an inspector from the Arson Investigation Section 1 of the first Division[](#cite_note-1), who therefore deals with arson cases. [Kogoro](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri"), who was his subordinate at some point, nicknamed him "fiery old fossil". He has an [assistant](/wiki/Inspector_Yuminaga%27s_assistant "Inspector Yuminaga's assistant") who always accompany him on his cases.
## Personality[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Inspector_Yuminaga&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Personality")]
Like most other inspectors, he trusts and listen to [Conan](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa")'s deductions, even once called him "the boy who has put the police to shame". He has gotten angry at a man that burnt down an apartment because "I thought resetting it would fix it", and angrily mentions that the culprit, in one day, destroyed a lifetime of memories of a family.[](#cite_note-2) Similar to most other police officers, he shows professionalism and dedication in his job. He is also quite calm and collected during cases.

### Red Horse Case (Manga: [394-397](/wiki/Volume_39#Red_Horse_Case "Volume 39"), Anime: [325-327](/wiki/The_Red_Horse_within_the_Flames "The Red Horse within the Flames"))[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Inspector_Yuminaga&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Red Horse Case (Manga: 394-397, Anime: 325-327)")]
Yuminaga thinking about the suspect Genda.
He investigates a string of arsons committed by a culprit who leaves red horse dolls at the crime scene. After [Heiji](/wiki/Heiji_Hattori "Heiji Hattori")'s client dies in the fourth fire, he meets the group, including Kogoro, whom he had worked with back when they were officers. Throughout the case, he vehemently believes the prime suspect, Takanori Genda, is innocent as he witnessed first-hand the man's obsessiveness in preventing possible fires. As a relatively competent inspector, he often listened to Heiji and Conan's observations and plans, and even took part in the final deduction. In the end, he cited the two boys as the true heroes of the case.
