[Akemi~chan]

yukiko and yuusaku AREN'T childhood freinds. they met when she was in high school. get your facts straight

Repost from the other thread.

Most of the known known female recurring characters in the ballpark of Chiba's age who might fit the bill are: Kobayashi, Sato, Yumi, Azusa Enomoto, Yui Uehara, Yoko Okino, and heck I'll even throw Phantom lady/Kaito's Mom on the list. I'm leaving Eri, Yukiko, Akemi, and Hidemi Hondou off since they look a bit different as kids. Finally there are a few non-recurring chars to consider. Chiba is a bit of a kid's show lover, so I'm going to add Tomomi Sakaguchi from the Tragedy of Gomera case (128, V13.8-10). She shows feelings for murder case culprit Shugo Matsui

We also have Natori Mishio who played Kamen Yaiba's first love interest from the Onsen muder case (722, V69.4-6). She's tied up with her manager Tanzawa who was the murder case culprit.

Spoiler:

I may have forgot someone so I'll keep reviewing. Of course an unseen third party is possible. Maybe Chiba will be forced into a jailhouse romance?

Yumi, Yui, and Yoko have a symmetrical hairstyle. Kaito's mom is a question mark, although in the anime she has symmetrical hair. Sato and Kobayashi have more closely matching hairstyles to the girl. Azuha has long bangs and so is a possibility because cutting them might reproduce the appearance of the girl.
Yumi may have restyled her hair, but Kobayashi pre-haircut or Sato are candidates which would make for an interesting love triangle. The other two non recurring char candidates are both attached to someone who committed a murder thus making it more interesting.  We'll see how things go with the translation.

44.4-6

Later edit:

Granted, as a tokusatsu lover like him, i wouldn't be surprised to see his first love was that Fairy Lady from Gamera movies

I was scooped!

[Akemi~chan]

now that you mention it natori would kinda match

[baka1412]

Wait, you're hoping for Natori to pop out from nowhere sometimes in the next chapters ?

[Akemi~chan]

no not really i just said she'd match

[Detective Prince]

Well geez, the only logical answer here is Bo BossYumi.

[alicetama]

I think it may be Yoko...

I'm mainly voting for this, because it would be hilarious if it's true, and she announces it, and then all her fanboys and Kogoro would like have a fit.

Hm, when I came across this, I was a bit surprised, yet not.  I'm kinda hoping that this isn't going to follow the childhood friends set up, like with Shiratori (I actually found that set up extremely boring)...but let's hope for something more interesting.  I hope that maybe Chiba's first love isn't going to be from his childhood.  You know, a late bloomer type...then again, I'm just hoping for Yumi, and hoping that maybe he fell for her after first joining the dept or something like that and that before her, he never seemed to fall for pretty much anyone.

Okay, yep yep, there ya go! =P *Needs to actually read 741* lol

[Eve]

Hey, wait! Maybe this won't be like all the others! (Haha)

What if it turns out his childhood love isn't Yumi, but he falls for Yumi over whoever-it-was?  That would certainly be a nice change.

Well after:

Shinichi Kudou & Ran Mouri (Childhood Friends)
Kuroba Kaito & Aoko Ginzo (Childhood Friends)
Hattori Heiji & Toyama Kazuha (Childhood Friends)
Yusaku Kudou & Yukiko Kudou (Childhood Friends)
Kogorou Mouri & Eri Mouri Kisaki (Childhood Friends)

That would be a nice change ....

fixed
Also Agasa and Fusae ( I like her name) = also childhood friend
That teacher and that dude she married who tried to poison her in vol 10 XD = childhood friends
Shiratori x Kobayashi (childhood crush)

So YES! it better Be a nice change.... he better give me a twist

Spoiler: Aoyama Gosho

Aoyama Gosho is a great thinker when it comes to murdering ppl, when it comes to love, all he can come up with is childhood friends and memories =P. Maybe Gin and Sherry are childhood friends XD

[Abs.]

What would be awesome:  Chiba's childhood friend/first love is now a MAN!

[Akemi~chan]

What would be awesome:  Chiba's childhood friend/first love is now a MAN!

OH YEAH! that'd be hilarious

[Eve]

What would be awesome:  Chiba's childhood friend/first love is now a MAN!

wow, only you would think of chances there will be such a young transvestite XD

[Kleene Onigiri]

What would be awesome:  Chiba's childhood friend/first love is now a MAN!

I thought about that too!
Like the one friend of Agasa who turned out to be gay XD

I didn't read it yet but I voted for Yoko. Because she had boyfriend that was a bit fat too. And Chiba isn't very slim either ;p So it would fit together!
And I wanna see Kogoro doing such a face -> D:

Anyway, why is Chianti an option but Vermouth isn't? D:

[Abs.]

It'd be something different, that's for sure.  Anyway, probably not, since Chiba didn't mention that she sounded like a man on the phone.  The best we can hope for is someone with a dark and sordid past...

Anyone else think it's odd that Conan didn't use the old "Ran-neechan told me" excuse regarding knowing about Kunigami?

[GinRei]

Kuroba Kaito & Aoko Ginzo (Childhood Friends)

Aoko's last name is Nakamori.  Ginzo is her dad's first name.
