Masako Fukuhara (Case Closed)

Masako Fukuhara (Hiroko Emori) is a hidden villainess from "The Mysterious Prophetic Buddha", episode 27.19 of Case Closed (airdate September 30, 2017). She was the wife of Eikyu Fukuhara, the Hoto Temple Head Priest, and the mother of Yuka and Eizen.
Masako's backstory reveals that she had been bottling a huge amount of grudge against her selfish and demanding husband for always putting his own opinion above anyone in their family and never understanding their feeling. After hearing that Eikyu planned to force their daughter Yuka to marry his head disciple Junko Wakuda despite the fact that the latter was already engaged to another girl, Masako turned heel and decided to kill her husband as her vengeance had finally reached the breaking point.
Having known that Junko himself had planned to scare Eikyo into canceling the engagement with a trick involving a knife, the evil Masako hired the famous Detective Kogoro Mouri to investigate a strange phenomena involving a Kanon statue in their temple on the same day in order to carry out the crime and secure an alibi for herself. After the dinner, the villainess headed to her husband's room while the latter was chanting and used the same knife in the trick to stab her husband in the neck to death. She then left the room to rejoin with the rest, and was informed of her husband's death after Yuka discovered his body some time later. 
While Junko was initially suspected to be the culprit as Masako had expected, Conan Edogawa was able to figure out her involvement in the crime as the trick Junko used was incapable of killing Eikyu, and that a rice powder was found at the crime scene, indicting her as the killer as she and Conan were the only people to eat Daifukus prior to the murder. Confronted with the crime, Masako sarcastically confessed that she had always resented Eikyu for treating his family like servants, and laughed psychotically while claiming that she was happy for that she won't be able to see his face again as Eikyu's body was taken away by the police, much to both Yuka and Eizen's grief, before she was (presumbly) arrested offscreen.
