Naomi (Case Closed 3.11)

Naomi (Emiko Matsuoka) is a villainess from "A Crab and Whale Kidnapping Case", episode 3.11 of Case Closed (airdate June 30, 1997). She and her male accomplice Komuro, kidnapped young boy Keita Endo, the son of dentist Keigo Endo. Their motive was solely monetary, as they were holding Keita for a large ransom. It was deduced by Conan and Kogoro that Naomi was caring for Keita, as he was unafraid during his calls with Keigo and had recently begun searching out mother figures after his own mother died of an unspecified illness.
Komuro and Naomi cancelled the original ransom dropoff with Keigo, with Conan Edogawa overhearing Keigo on the phone with Komuro and informing Kogoro Mouri about the situation. Keigo accepted Kogoro's help, and he (along with Conan and his daughter Ran) went with Keigo to deliver the new ransom at the Borndime Train Station.
However, rather than meeting with Keigo directly, Komuro instead drove up in a motorcycle and forced him to throw the money over a fence, allowing him to escape before Kogoro could stop him. Meanwhile, Conan was able to deduce that Keita was being held at a nearby hotel, arriving just as Naomi and Keigo were preparing to leave with the boy. As they checked out, Naomi showed reluctance to Komuro's plan to kill Keita, only for her accomplice to dismiss her reservations. Just as the villainous duo was able to leave with Keita, Conan ran into the lobby and revealed as kidnappers, leading Komuro to hold Keita at knifepoint before trying to flee with Naomi. But Conan was able to subdue the kidnappers by kicking a knight's head at the revolving door, throwing them back into the lobby. Naomi and Komuro were later handcuffed and arrested.
