Series: Detective Conan
Timeline: After Ch. 740 - "The Eight Virtues"
Canon Resource Link: Wikia
Personality:
Heiji is some what of a typical high school student. Give or take a few of his unique quirks, for instance, he's more intelligent than most boys his age. He has astounding memory. Where most find a corpse frightening and become squeamish, Heiji is first to jump to it and decipher the cause of death or if it's even dead. Mysteries fascinate him like kids to an interesting video game. If a case emanates you can bet Heiji will be there ready to crack with every cell in his brain. He could be described to be quite impulsive and even a bit absent-minded at times. His father described Heiji as so: "He's like a kid runnin' on pure instinct."
Like Kudo, Heiji's intelligence is unmistakable. With or without Kudo's help, he can interpret clues, predict motives and reveal the culprit all in a days work. Complicated puzzles and strange clues aren't safe from his deductions. With this intelligence is clever thought process is his ability to create clues of his own. Aware of much knowledge and facts, he can determine how long a body has been dead, what killed them, and (after a bit of investigating) how.
He seems to have a lack for higher authority. When his father (knowingly mind you) punched Heiji to the ground, he belittled him and told him to go home because this case wasn't his business. Instead Heiji rebelled and continued working on it despite his father's action. He also has a knack for calling his mom old woman, and he doesn't even properly address Mouri.
Additionally, unlike Kudo, Heiji is more hot-blooded. He's quick to lose his temper, first to jump the gun, and quick to race anywhere a clue leads him. While he can keep his composure most of the time, it's still reveals itself enough to be notable. Hakuba actually berated Heiji for his imprudence regarding a crime scene about how he disrupted the crime scene. However, this did not fully compromise the deduction as he was still able to figure out the killer. The culprit herself complimented on him it. Saying she didn't know detectives like him still existed. Also while solving cases, Heiji refers to corpses as stiffs.
At first, Heiji was rather negligent if a culprit killed themselves after being found out. During a case with Kudo where Kudo prevented a woman from committing suicide, Heiji said. "Maybe we shoulda let her die." In which Kudo responded "A detective who corners someone with logic, but lets them commit suicide...is no different from a murder." Since then, Heiji has followed this, and during another case where a culprit was going to shoot himself in the head, Heiji intervened and wound up taking a bullet to the abdomen because of it.
While not always applied, Heiji is excessively expressive. An extroverted soul if you will. He is often seen prompting to do things, instigating others, and lightly playing off somewhat serious manners. When in a good mood, he'll have a huge grin on his face (though not the same kind of grin he gets when he's solving/solved a case) and almost comes off a bouncy. This behavior only amplified when he's trying to sneak around the others to eagerly speak to Kudo. Of course this goes without saying, that no matter how clever he is. Heiji is only human and makes mistakes. He will sometimes (more like all the time) address "Conan" as Kudo. Ran will over hear this, and Heiji has to quickly cover his tracks so she doesn't find out.
One great way to explain his overly expressive behavior is when he is annoyed. He calls a lot of the people around him "morons" or "idiots". Not just that, but he'll yell at them too. Heiji called his own mother an idiot. When Mouri and Ran went banging on his door during his nap he opened it to yell at them. Also when Ran and Kazuha, or even just Ran alone pester and nag him he'll scream at them about how annoying they are.
At first Heiji was snarky to Kudo and looking to out do him. Sometimes he still acts in this way, but the more Heiji bonds with Kudo the closer they become. Now this west side detective will go out of his way to not only protect Kudo from harms way, but help him too. Such things include offering to help him out when converting between his original self and child self. Another when Kudo called him asking if he could get information on an individual named Eisuke. Heiji even likes to refer Kudo as his friend, rival or not. (Though they do act like friends.)
This trait also applies to Kazuha, a childhood friend of Heiji's. He is naturally overprotective of her and will do irrational things to see to it that she goes unharmed. When they were in a hanging off the cliff side by a branch Kazuha wanted Heiji to live on. In attempt to force him to let her go he stabbed his hand with an arrow, but he refused such action. Instead it is show that they both made it safely back and Kazuha unconscious. Another during the time they both were held hostage in an attic. Heiji continually exasperate the female lawyer and so he was the only one physically harmed. (On a side note, Heiji had placed such great faith in Kudo that Kudo would be the one to find and save them.)
He makes it very clear and very prominent that he doesn't believe in the misconception of curses, magic, and ghosts. To him, it's a trick and there must be a logical explanation for it. Folklore and scary stories hardly scare him because he doesn't believe them to exist. Of course when uncovering such nonsense with truth, how can he believe it? He and Kudo share this trait in common. Hell, when they were at a magic show with the girls they were theorizing explanations as to how the magician was pulling the stunts on the stage. If someone claims otherwise it is 100% likely you're not going to convince him otherwise.
Although he does make it a point to carry around a lucky charm that Kazuha made herself. While he doesn't take the charms seriously (as far as he's willing to admit), he is considerate enough to keep it around because Kazuha is a special person to him. He will sometimes blame the charms on his horrible luck as he is often injured during the cases he solves with Kudo. It got to the point where his mom went undercover to see if Mouri was fit enough to continue having her son around because his injuries escalated.
Heiji is so painfully oblivious to the love concept. In fact he's not very good at understanding women either. The most he can unveil is one time in Okinawa with Kudo, the two were deducting bathing suits based on exterior composure of women. Anything deeper than that and he's lost. He can't even tell when his own childhood friend is bashful around him. It doesn't help that he is insisted on them being childhood friends, in fact almost like brother and sister. He even mistook a 'nervous almost confession' with nervous because they're 'feeling hungry.' When in reality their feelings run deeper than that and more intimate. Heiji is also oblivious to his own feelings for her. There were some moments where he wanted to confess to her, but chicken how half way and changed the subject to something ridiculous in comparison.
One thing you'll notice about Heiji every time you see him, and I mean every time, is the fact that he wears a beige baseball cap with a dark blue visor. On it is the abbreviation "SAX". Having said that, baseball is his favorite sport and he follows it actively. You will almost never see him without his cap. The cap is even used as an instrument. Like during cases, if he flips his hat forward, where the bill becomes in front and worn properly, it means he's close to solving a case.
Powers & Abilities:
STRENGTHS:
Physical -
Heiji is in no sense weak. If need be, he can pull around own weight and even the weight of others. Heiji is well built, athletic and in shape. Often, due to being a detective, he is forced to sprint from location to location. Even having done so it's unlikely for him to become winded after all of it. He also bears the strength a boy his age would have. Maybe even a little stronger than that given his second hobby. It's not easy to over power him (but by no means impossible.)
For a high school boy, Heiji is very enduring. Despite having a bullet wound in his gut, he was still able to carry a full grown man on his back out of a burning building and save him from death. This caused much stress and worsened his injury but for the most part remained conscious. He only insisted he rest because he didn't sleep well the night before. Dis-concerning his obvious pain, he was actually fine.
Like his father, Heiji participates and enjoys the sport of kendo. He is exceptionally good at it and admired among his peers because of it. Because of it, he has a lot of endurance and upper body strength despite looking lanky. His previous loss he refuses to count because the medic canceled the duel due to Heiji's inability to stop bleeding. Nevertheless, its unwise to strike at him and expect to hit. Likewise, if he has something to hit you with, it's going to hurt and could quite possibly end up fatal.
Mental/Emotional -
Heiji is intelligent, keen, and clever. Solving puzzles, mysteries, and deciphering codes is his forte. His aptitude for this sort of thing is almost like second nature to him. There's practically nothing he can't interpret or figure out. Additionally his memory is solid and near perfect. Upon brief glimpses he can recall things, passages, phrases perfectly. This is what makes him such a great detective and Kudo's rival. It's hard to fool him in general.
Heiji is confident, and optimistic. He's not easy to depress. His eager attitude drives him. His sheer train of thought is enough to get him pumped for anything (unless it's boring.) If a challenge presents itself before him he will take it on and continue to do so until it's solved. He is head strong to say the least.
WEAKNESSES:
Physical -
He's in no way immortal. Being human, he is vulnerable to the reality of injuries. He has a few scars to prove this. The one behind his ear he obtained from his kendo tournament. The back of his right hand from the arrow that Kazuha stabbed with, and supposed one on his abdomen where he got shot while stopping a suicide. He is every bit capable of receiving more injuries just as these ones. In fact he's notorious for getting hurt after all.
Kendo is meant for armed offense (or defense depending on how it's used.) Which doesn't necessarily mean it will protect him even if he knows it. The fact that it's only useful when he has something to attack with proves that his abilities are strongly limited. Otherwise he would probably be able to avoid some of the causalities he encounters during his cases.
Mental/Emotional -
Heiji is horribly conceited and way too confident in his ability sometimes. This leads him to run around blind and has potentially threatened his safety because of it. Also his lack for through before speaking has lead him to nearly give away Kudo's cover almost every time he's with the other detective. If not for his quick saves Ran might have figured it out.
While he is very smart and keen, Heiji has his own special brand of obliviousness and ignorance. Like he can't understand the concept of love or bring in love very well. Perhaps part of it has to do with his age, in either case it's not one of his strongest suits and he doesn't wildly advertise this fact. It seems he only presents this problem to Kudo, secretly asking questions for his answers and opinions regarding the topic.
What items will they be bringing with them?
His SAX baseball cap, and his cellphone, on it a charm Kazuha gave him.
Third-Person Sample:
Hattori wasn't doing any particularly special activities today. There hasn't been any cases recently to speak of and his last one was a thriller. Today he was hoping he could fish Kudo from Tokyo to visit Osaka so he could show him more of its famous landmarks. Before he knew it, the young detective found himself dialing in his alleged rival's number. Patiently he waited as the phone rang, and rang, and rang. Heiji placed forth a second call only to receive the same reaction. The teen stared at his phone. "Guess Kudo's busy today." He muttered to himself. No matter, he could just ring his friend up later.
His teal hues stole a glimpse of the sky only to notice that it radiated vibrant orange and yellow shades. His glance than diverted back to the screen of his phone where he saw the time at the corner of his phone display. Seven O'clock. "Huh. It's later than I thought. Musta lost track of time." Heiji snapped his phone shut and slipped it into his jacket pocket. He best start going home so his mom doesn't start worrying about him. He loved her and all, but she annoyed him sometimes. With slow strides down the streets of Osaka, Heiji wasn't even half way home before something caught his attention through the corner of his eye. His brows furrowed when he realized it was nothing more than a lazy cat. Perhaps he was a little too eager to find some kind of case with an interesting mystery. "Kudo's probably on a case." With that half-baked detective Kogoro Mouri. He didn't think ill of the guy as a whole, but didn't respect him as far as his occupation went.
A ring emitted from the depth of his jacket pocket. The volume tone wasn't very loud, but it was loud enough for Heiji to hear it should someone contact him. His hand slipped into his pocket to pick it up. His teal gaze examined the caller ID, once he noticed it was Kudo's a number a grin pulled at the edge of his cheeks. A rather big one at that. He flipped the phone open. "Hey Kudo! I was just about ta call you!" He replied enthusiastically. The detective was always excited to talk to his partner in justice. "Hey listen, I wanted to tell you somethin'." He replied before the other could slip in a word. "Kazuha wanted to know if yer free this weekend, she's hopin' we could all go to Nipponbashi Denden. Whad'dya say? ... I ain't exactly that thrilled to go either, but it'd be nice to hang out again! See you soon." Before Kudo could even think about declining, Heiji cut the feed by hanging up.
First-Person Sample:
[He had a bit of a rude awakening today.] Great. First Kudo drops off the face of the Earth fer who knows how long, an' then I wake up in some strange place. Ain't any clues nearby to evaluate my situation with either.
The place does look peculiar though, foreign. Don't tell me this is where Kudo is. [He became slightly amused.] It's a probability. My doesn't get any service out here though so I can't call him.
[His expression quickly hardened.] This doesn't make any sense though. There hasn't been any missing persons case recently an' if so how come I got involved? Kudo an' I don't even live in the same prefecture so it lacks consistency. Only a hand full of people know of Kudo's condition so it can be because we're detectives. [He rested his hand on his chin while he pondered.]
Then there's the fact that this place is open. Most culprits keep their victims confined if they haven't already killed 'em. Maybe I ain't dealin' with a murder, but a kidnapper... Still what's the point of desertin' me in a place like this where I can wander freely? [His expression loosened with a grin.] Guess I'll have to investigate my situation.
