Yaiba and Kojiro checking out the Mine family tree.
The **Mine family** (峰家 ,*Mine-ka*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese")) currently consists of 4 people: [Fuji Mine](/wiki/Fuji_Mine "Fuji Mine"), her son [Raizo Mine](/wiki/Raizo_Mine "Raizo Mine"), the latter's wife [Shizuka Mine](/wiki/Shizuka_Mine "Shizuka Mine") and the daughter of the latter two, [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine"). They are a lineage of incredibly skilled swordsmen, allegedly descending from the folk hero [Urashima Tarō](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urashima_Tar%C5%8D "wikipedia:Urashima Tarō") and [Otohime](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oto-hime "wikipedia:Oto-hime") of Japanese mythology. They own and live in a [traditional samurai house](/wiki/Mine_residence "Mine residence") with a dojo and kendo school in the (fictional) district of [Yaoya](/wiki/Yaoya "Yaoya"), [Tokyo](/wiki/Tokyo "Tokyo").
These characters originated in [Gosho Aoyama](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama "Gosho Aoyama")'s previous series *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*, but have all had (so far non-[canon](/wiki/Canon "Canon")) appearances in *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* and *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")*. Their surname (峰) is, down to the kanji, adapted from [Fujiko Mine](/wiki/Fujiko_Mine "Fujiko Mine")'s family name from the *[Lupin III](/wiki/Lupin_III "Lupin III")* series.

### Taro Urashima[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mine_family&action=edit&section=2 "Edit section: Taro Urashima")]
**Taro Urashima (浦島 太郎 ,*Urashima Tarō*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** is a mythological figure and the protagonist from the folk tale [of the same name](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urashima_Tar%C5%8D "wikipedia:Urashima Tarō"), who rescues a turtle and gets invited to Otohime's [Dragon Palace](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%ABg%C5%AB-j%C5%8D "wikipedia:Ryūgū-jō") under the sea in return. He is a historical person in *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*, being the direct male ancestor of the current Mine family, who created the current family line with [Otohime](/wiki/index.php?title=Otohime&action=edit&redlink=1 "Otohime (page does not exist)").
The magical box Taro owned, which rapidly ages the person opening it, briefly appeared in [Yaiba Volume 6](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_6 "Yaiba Volume 6"). The folk tale, its protagonist and Otohime also serve as integral hints in the Onikame Island Case (Manga: (/wiki/Volume_35#Onikame_Island_Case "Volume 35")-(/wiki/Volume_36#Onikame_Island_Case "Volume 36"), Anime: [291-293](/wiki/Solitary_Island_of_the_Princess_and_the_Dragon_King%27s_Palace "Solitary Island of the Princess and the Dragon King's Palace")).
### Otohime[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mine_family&action=edit&section=3 "Edit section: Otohime")]
**Oto-hime (乙姫 ,*Princess Oto*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** is a [mythological figure](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oto-hime "wikipedia:Oto-hime") from the folk tale *[Urashima Tarō](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urashima_Tar%C5%8D "wikipedia:Urashima Tarō")*, the princess of the underwater [Dragon Palace](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%ABg%C5%AB-j%C5%8D "wikipedia:Ryūgū-jō"), and a historical person in *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*, being the direct female ancestor of the current Mine family.
The magical box Otohime gave to Taro as a present, which rapidly ages the person opening it, briefly appeared in [Yaiba Volume 6](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_6 "Yaiba Volume 6"). The folk tale, its protagonist and Otohime also serve as integral hints in the Onikame Island Case (Manga: (/wiki/Volume_35#Onikame_Island_Case "Volume 35")-(/wiki/Volume_36#Onikame_Island_Case "Volume 36"), Anime: [291-293](/wiki/Solitary_Island_of_the_Princess_and_the_Dragon_King%27s_Palace "Solitary Island of the Princess and the Dragon King's Palace")).
### Grandpa Mine[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mine_family&action=edit&section=4 "Edit section: Grandpa Mine")]
Husband of [Fuji Mine](/wiki/Fuji_Mine "Fuji Mine"), father of [Raizo Mine](/wiki/Raizo_Mine "Raizo Mine"), father-in-law of [Shizuka Mine](/wiki/Shizuka_Mine "Shizuka Mine") and grandfather of [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine"). Never appeared in any series proper, because he seemingly passed away before the start of the story. He is mentioned without name by his wife Fuji, who says that she heard the legend about Ryujin's Sphere from her husband in the past.
### Fuji Mine[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mine_family&action=edit&section=5 "Edit section: Fuji Mine")]
Widowed wife, mother of [Raizo Mine](/wiki/Raizo_Mine "Raizo Mine"), mother-in-law of [Shizuka Mine](/wiki/Shizuka_Mine "Shizuka Mine"), grandmother of [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") and current head of the family besides her son. Her forename is never given in *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*, with her just being called "**goinkyō**" (ご隠居, "retired person") in the original text, while in [OVA 1](/wiki/Conan_vs._Kid_vs._Yaiba_-_The_Grand_Battle_for_the_Treasure_Sword!! "Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba - The Grand Battle for the Treasure Sword!!"), she's identified as **Fuji Mine (峰 富士 ,*Mine Fuji*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** (probably another play on [Fujiko Mine](/wiki/Fujiko_Mine "Fujiko Mine")). She appeared in a non-[canon](/wiki/Canon "Canon") role in [chapter 18](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Volume_3#.28Extra_Chapter.29_Yaiba_vs._Kaito.21 "Magic Kaito Volume 3") of *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")* and the first Original Video Animation of *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* based on it, throwing inspector [Ginzo Nakamori](/wiki/Ginzo_Nakamori "Ginzo Nakamori") out of [Mine residence|their house]] in both, getting wooed by [Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid") and giving [Conan Edogawa](/wiki/Conan_Edogawa "Conan Edogawa") some "family medicine" against colds in the latter version, which causes him to turn back into [Shinichi Kudo](/wiki/Shinichi_Kudo "Shinichi Kudo") (after turning into [Kogoro Mouri](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri") and [Heiji Hattori](/wiki/Heiji_Hattori "Heiji Hattori") during the first two tries). This was revealed to be nothing more than a dream Conan had after reading too many *Yaiba* manga, though.
### Raizo Mine[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mine_family&action=edit&section=6 "Edit section: Raizo Mine")]
Main article: [Raizo Mine](/wiki/Raizo_Mine "Raizo Mine")
**Raizo Mine (峰 雷蔵 ,*Mine Raizō*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** is the son of [Fuji Mine](/wiki/Fuji_Mine "Fuji Mine"), the husband of [Shizuka Mine](/wiki/Shizuka_Mine "Shizuka Mine") and father of [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine"). Besides his mother, he is the current head of the Mine family and an old rival of [Kenjuro Kurogane](/wiki/Kenjuro_Kurogane "Kenjuro Kurogane"). He briefly appeared in a non-[canon](/wiki/Canon "Canon") role in [chapter 18](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Volume_3#.28Extra_Chapter.29_Yaiba_vs._Kaito.21 "Magic Kaito Volume 3") of *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")* and the [first Original Video Animation](/wiki/Conan_vs._Kid_vs._Yaiba_-_The_Grand_Battle_for_the_Treasure_Sword!! "Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba - The Grand Battle for the Treasure Sword!!") of *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* based on it, inviting [Kogoro Mouri](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri") to drink in the latter and trying to hunt down [Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid") in both versions of the story.
### Shizuka Mine[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mine_family&action=edit&section=7 "Edit section: Shizuka Mine")]
Main article: [Shizuka Mine](/wiki/Shizuka_Mine "Shizuka Mine")
**Shizuka Mine (峰 静香 ,*Mine Shizuka*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** is the wife of [Raizo Mine](/wiki/Raizo_Mine "Raizo Mine"), mother of [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") and daughter-in-law of [Fuji Mine](/wiki/Fuji_Mine "Fuji Mine"). She seems to be an absurdly oblivious and forgetful person, at one point not even recognizing her own daughter anymore after she put on a pair of sunglasses. She briefly appeared in a non-[canon](/wiki/Canon "Canon") role in [chapter 18](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Volume_3#.28Extra_Chapter.29_Yaiba_vs._Kaito.21 "Magic Kaito Volume 3") of *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")* and the [first Original Video Animation](/wiki/Conan_vs._Kid_vs._Yaiba_-_The_Grand_Battle_for_the_Treasure_Sword!! "Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba - The Grand Battle for the Treasure Sword!!") of *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* based on it, hiring [Kogoro Mouri](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri") to catch [Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid") in the latter and getting wooed by the phantom thief in both versions.
### Sayaka Mine[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mine_family&action=edit&section=8 "Edit section: Sayaka Mine")]
Main article: [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine")
**Sayaka Mine (峰 さやか ,*Mine Sayaka*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** is the only daughter of [Raizo Mine](/wiki/Raizo_Mine "Raizo Mine") and [Shizuka Mine](/wiki/Shizuka_Mine "Shizuka Mine") and granddaughter of [Fuji Mine](/wiki/Fuji_Mine "Fuji Mine"). Since she's part of [Otohime](/wiki/index.php?title=Otohime&action=edit&redlink=1 "Otohime (page does not exist)")'s blood line and born 1000 years after the last Dragon Priestess, she is the current reincarnation of her, as proven by [Kaguya](/wiki/Kaguya "Kaguya") trying to hunt her down to regain her youth and real appearance. She appears in a non-[canon](/wiki/Canon "Canon") role in [chapter 18](/wiki/Magic_Kaito_Volume_3#.28Extra_Chapter.29_Yaiba_vs._Kaito.21 "Magic Kaito Volume 3") of *[Magic Kaito](/wiki/Magic_Kaito "Magic Kaito")* and the [first Original Video Animation](/wiki/Conan_vs._Kid_vs._Yaiba_-_The_Grand_Battle_for_the_Treasure_Sword!! "Conan vs. Kid vs. Yaiba - The Grand Battle for the Treasure Sword!!") of *[Detective Conan](/wiki/Detective_Conan "Detective Conan")* based on it, joining her mother hiring [Kogoro Mouri](/wiki/Kogoro_Mouri "Kogoro Mouri") to catch [Kaitou Kid](/wiki/Kaitou_Kid "Kaitou Kid") and scolding [Kagetora](/wiki/Kagetora "Kagetora"), [Shonosuke](/wiki/Shonosuke "Shonosuke") and [Gerozaemon Geroda](/wiki/Gerozaemon_Geroda "Gerozaemon Geroda") for scaring the [Detective Boys](/wiki/Detective_Boys "Detective Boys") in the latter and getting wooed by the phantom thief in both versions. She can also briefly be seen as a character of the video game professor [Hiroshi Agasa](/wiki/Hiroshi_Agasa "Hiroshi Agasa") made in [File 1039](/wiki/Volume_98#File_1039_-_Momiji.27s_Challenge "Volume 98").
### Gosho Aoyama[[edit](/wiki/index.php?title=Mine_family&action=edit&section=9 "Edit section: Gosho Aoyama")]
Main article: [Gosho Aoyama (Character)](/wiki/Gosho_Aoyama_(Character) "Gosho Aoyama (Character)")
The fictional alter-ego of **Gosho Aoyama (青山 剛昌 ,*Aoyama Gōshō*[?](/wiki/Help:Japanese "Help:Japanese"))** actually is part of the Mine family tree, according to a brief joke in [chapter 143](/wiki/Yaiba_Volume_14#Dangerous_Guy_Approaching "Yaiba Volume 14") of *[Yaiba](/wiki/Yaiba "Yaiba")*, but it's not explained how he relates to [Sayaka Mine](/wiki/Sayaka_Mine "Sayaka Mine") and the rest. [Yaiba Kurogane](/wiki/Yaiba_Kurogane "Yaiba Kurogane") misreads his name as "Gonosuke Aoyama", with Sayaka reprimanding him that this is rude.
