Wikia
[ Personality ] :
Kogoro's most obvious trait is his unusual sense of pride. It wasn't always like this, but since adopting Conan into the Mouri residence, more people started to come to him for help. Whether it be to find a lost person, or figure out who murdered their beloved. Kogoro gets a lot of commissions for cases he often never solves. Little to everyone's knowledge it's actually Conan. However, Kogoro isn't entirely unaware of this. In some cases he actually does believe he solves things, but in actuality he hasn't the slightest idea how or why it happens. Because this is secretive, he's under the impression that it's actually his doing. Now the fame has gone to his head, but luckily it doesn't dictate every waking moment of his life. However, it does pose to be a problem every so often.
He's not what one would call "best in the business" due to his slow nature and recurring false accusations. Unfortunately because of the nature of the series, he's not the smartest detective, and it has not yet been proven if there is one worse than him. He may be not equipped, but he's not terrible. When the case holds sentimental value and he has something to lose, Kogoro inexplicably becomes efficient. His willingness to protect his family is at the top of his priorities and there's nothing he wont do to see to it that it happens.
He's not necessarily a bad guy- in fact, he has great intentions. The fact that he became a detective to solve mysteries and put criminals behind bars is admirable. The only thing is, he has his priorities out-of-order. Like most typical men, Kogoro thinks more so with his smaller head than his larger one. His weakness for an attractive woman is transparent and almost pitiful. This also means he'll be willing to help them more than the nest person and makes him more vulnerable to being deceived by them. Kogoro will also base their innocence or inability to commit a crime based on their looks and surface level feelings alone.
All is fun and games until someone gets hurt. Just as easily as he can spring into fun; he can also spring into a serious mood to match the situation. While he can throw a crude humorous comment or two depending on the murder, he often doesn't mean it and he genuinely does his best to get to the root of it. He's protective of the people he loves, in this case it falls mostly on his daughter, Ran. In his eyes, she means the world to him. Even though his wife left him, he still has feelings for her too and would just as readily jump in to save her as he would for Ran.
He's not all business. Kogoro knows how to have a good time. Usually his idea of a good time involve some booze, maybe some decent entertainment. Occasionally in the company of others. Being a rather famous detective allows him many invites to various outings. People offer him much to eat and drink at times as well. When you manage to achieve being on his good side, he's quite the friend to hang out with. Kogoro is known for having very low tolerance and little to no patience though. This trait becomes obvious when around Conan in particular. He may not be abusive, but he does use physical force to add measure to his words. When Conan gets in the way, he'll either hit the kid, toss him out of the room or a combination thereof.
Like everyone, Kogoro has his downfalls. In his case it happens to be minor phobia. He generally avoids heights when possible, but it isn't totally detrimental to his job and how he preforms. Usually when such a thing occurs he simply freezes up. How he came to develop this phobia has not yet been explained, but given he doesn't travel very high often. It's usually not a big deal. Additionally, this why allowing him to be a flying-type pokemon is out of the question.
[ Strengths/Weaknesses ] :
STRENGTHS:
While he might not be all that athletics and growing in age, he's not out of shape. Kogoro is fully capable of chasing down anyone for a prolonged amount of time before becoming completely exhausted. Another advantage to being a fully grown male is having the strength of an average human male. He can knock down a door if he needed to, or hold his own in a fight if it came down to that.
Additionally he is an excellent marksman, his days as a policeman provided him that practiced perfection he has now. No matter how difficult the target, Kogoro will likely still able to hit it. He doesn't advertise this fact and usually doesn't have a need to use it. This also implies that Kogoro has good, if not excellent, eye sight.
Kogoro is a rational. Even under dire or terrible situations. He's not quick to jump into danger without first thinking about it. This will only falter if a loved one of his happens to be a target. Otherwise he's well-rounded. Formerly being a police officer and now a private investigator, it's not entirely uncommon for him to encounter a dead body. More so now because of the fact that he's detective.
WEAKNESSES:
Like everyone else in this series, he is also human and, therefore, as vulnerable as any other powerless human can be. He doesn't have any special abilities or can exceed the lifespan of a human. Kogoro can die just as easy as the next guy. When it comes down it, he is and forever will be a human.
Kogoro isn't the brightest crayon in the box, and without Conan secretly holding his hands through cases, he would never be able to solve them. Kogoro just doesn't have that keen eye most of the only detectives seem to bear. Especially of the high school variety.
He also seems to have a slight phobia of heights. Luckily, living in Japan, fligth isn't really an issue. The phobia as a whole doesn't impact him in a unfavorable way. Since he doesn't usually encounter it in a way where it obstructs his ability to function on a day-to-day basis.
[ Other Important Facts ] :
~ It has not yet been clarified why Eri left Kogoro
~ Kogoro is, in fact, slightly aware that doesn't always solve the cases
