Gin is a dangerous and highly ranked member in the "Black Organization". He is the one that attacked and force-fed Shinichi Kudo the with APTX-4869, the drug that turned kudo into Conan Edogawa. Wearing all black and long yellow/blonde hair, Gin is a tall person, who always covers his eyes with his black hat. He is always looking for Shiho Miyano (also known as Ai Haibara), and aside from considering her a traitor to the Black Organization, he also seems to have some weird obsession with her i wunder y.
He is usually seen being followed around by his lower ranked comrade/sidekick, Vodka, who doesn't really add much to the missions other than being there (though, he works alone in the Dark Contact Case). Vodka's low rank status is noted in how he calls Gin "Aniki" (or brother), which is what a low-ranked gang member calls a high-ranked gang member. Despite being menacing and coldblooded, Gin appears to respect certain members of his team; Vodka, Vermouth (when she persuades him to leave Conan and Kogoro alone), and Kir (when he decides not to kill anyone at the hospital after she asks him not to).
Since Gin is normally leading the Black Organization's operations he probably has a high position in the Black Organization. Very sharp-minded, perceptive and efficient, he can smell out any trap and deception his partner Vodka would easily fall for. He takes great pleasure in "rooting out" traitors to the organization; with Shiho ("Sherry") it is possibly a special case, because she is the one prey which has (with Conan's help) repeatedly eluded him.
There is a rivalry between Gin and Shuichi. Gin considers Shuichi dangerous, and Shuichi refers to him as his old enemy in episode 425 (before shooting him). It is revealed in File 599 that this rivalry stems from the death of Akemi Miyano (Ai Haibara's older sister), who had a relationship with Akai. There also appears to be something personal between Gin and Sherry (Ai Haibara) when they confront each other in the "Gin & Sherry" case.
Gin also proved to be able to withstand Conan's sleeping needles to some degree (as proven in episode 178); probably due to some sort of immunization against drugs to avoid capture (in the Ai Kidnap Case, Vermouth was also able to withstand her own knockout gas to a degree, even though she was inside a closed car. However it is more likely a result of both of them shooting themselves to keep themselves awake. Gin shot himself in the arm, while Vermouth shot herself in the leg in the car. Though it's possible that Vermouth fell asleep (because of the gas), only to wake up before Conan. That's why while releasing the sleeping gas she said to Conan that it's a "bet" to see who wakes up first.
Gin is left-handed, and often drives a Porsche 356A. Cold-blooded and callous, Gin doesn't bother to remember any strangers he kills.[3]
* Gin's design drastically changes throughout the series. At the start, his hair is actually light brown, and the line structure is not as detailed. In addition, part of his hair comes down his face across his nose. As the series progresses Gin's hair is blonde, and the line structure is strongly detailed. In addition, there is no hair that comes down across his face anymore.
His weapon of choice is the Beretta M1934. He has been known to use other weapons, and uses poison quite often.
. Could you tell me where I can find it? Is it only in manga?
