Eisuke is rather clumsy and has an extreme case of bad luck as he has constantly bumped into or falls over something several times. Despite his clumsiness, He is a brilliant detective and also extremely intelligent. Even from a very young age, he was very intuitive and observant and has become well-known as a very skilled young detective, the "Savior of the police force" for solving many difficult cases the professionals could not. As a person, Eisuke is usually very quiet jovial, and friendly, though very emotional at times in stressful situations.

Eisuke is someone who is not good with words, as stated by Kai, and can be overly direct and blunt as he had very few close friends. As such, he can come off as a rude person to others by Ran and Minato. Eisuke seems to enjoy angering and teasing people as well and often annoyed others with his love for Sherlock Holmes, more notably Ran. He isn't afraid to say anything that makes people angry and asking a question directly that would make people embarrassed in which makes him somewhat insensitive. However, He can become socially awkward or uncomfortable when doing mischievous favors for others, as he's seen physically flustered during Operation Maid Watch.

Despite these negative traits, as stated by his Adoptive Parents Ran, Conan, his mother, and his sister, Eisuke is a very kind person having a strong sense of generosity and compassion and was a kindhearted and considerate person who thought about the needs of others. He would often help others when others are in trouble and give them advice, He would put the well-being and safety of others before himself. He also refrains from telling anyone of him being involved in a dangerous case or situation to keep others from getting hurt. He also cares deeply about human life, unable to understand how any reason could be sufficient motive for murder. Eisuke was convinced that driving a culprit to suicide is no better than the murder itself. This fact was strongly influent by the death of Sayaka Okudera, who had committed suicide after he reveals her to the culprit had caused him to feel a great deal of guilt for not being able to prevent her from committing suicide.

Eisuke is almost always a calm and collected character, rarely showing any signs of distress by most of the events that occur, even at the sight of a dead body though He may appear to be calm and serious. He can be a bit timid and is many pushovers where he was often bullied by others in Elementary and Middle School and often act as a gofer to avoid fighting with others. Although he no longer often does personal favor, he still has a habit of doing a personal favor for others to which resulted in Kai noted that Eisuke doesn't know when to say no.

Though Eisuke is usually modest about his Detective skills, though he strongly dislikes his skills being criticized or being mock, by others and can sometimes be very competitive. He often mentions the cases he solves and enjoyed being in the spotlight, and is often flattered by praises.

Eisuke is also rather single-minded whenever he focuses on solving a case as such he doesn't think about the feeling of other or other situation, only think about solving the case at hand. However, whatever situation switches his attention as such when initially tried to comfort Ran in London only to change attentions when she mentions Minerva Glass and asks a question about her.

Eisuke has shown to be a bit shy when it comes to love or romantic subjects.

After several failures, he finally succeeded in confessing his feeling in London.
