The Black Organization

The Black Organization is the name of a secret crime syndicate. It is made up of many members, though no-one but the boss knows precisely how many there are. The boss's identity is unknown. He or she is referred to only as "Ano Kata", or literally, "that person".

Notable members of the organization include:
 * Gin. Gin is one of the first two members introduced in the story. He is a deadly killer, completely ruthless. He was the one who forced Shinichi Kudo to take aptx4869. He is a crack shot with a gun. He has long, blond hair, that from the back sometimes causes him to look female. He has very cold, calculating eyes, and is one of the only people who can scare Sherry.
 * Vodka. Deadly killer, though not as dangerous or as smart as Gin. A very large man, and good with a gun. Usually teamed with Gin, they are rarely seen apart.
 * Sherry. See article. (Spoiler warning.)
 * Pisco. A member for many years, he used the resources of the Organization for his own purposes and was ultimately killed. A crack shot with a gun. Elderly by the time he was encountered by Shinichi Kudo and Ai Haibara.
 * Tequila. A large man, intimidates people into making deals with the Organization. Was killed by a bomb.
 * Chianti and Korn. The top snipers, Chianti is a bloodthirsty, goth-like woman, while Korn is an elderly man, with an expressionless face.
 * Rye and Kir. See article. (Spoiler warning.)
 * Vermouth. Possibly the most dangerous member of the organization, right-hand man to the boss. Very good with a gun, extremely smart, perfect disguise skills. Learned the art of disguise from Toichi Kuroba. Learned Shinichi Kudo's identity as Conan Edogawa, and Sherry/Ai Haibara, but has not yet revealed this knowledge to anyone else. Is mysteriously far younger than she should be. Was originally named Sharon Vineyard, until she faked her death and began going as her own daughter, Chris Vineyard. Very little else is known about her.
 * Bourbon. The newest known member, nothing is known about him, though the concensus in the fandom seems to be he is Shuuichi Akai or Subaru Okiya.
 * "Ano Kata". Referred to only as the boss or, literally, "that person", nothing is known about him/her. Ideas about his/her identity in the fandom range from Dr. Agasa to Ran Mouri to Yukiko Kudo.
