Who is Yuusaku Kudou?
Kudou Shinichi's Father. He is a famous mystery writer. 'Night Baron' is a character from his novel. He apparently also has the same sharp mind as his son, pretty much like a detective, probably because his novels are all mysteries. Yuusaku was already noted for his sharp intellect and deductive abilities at a young age. He met Inspector Megure and became a good friend and valuable adviser to him in solving very difficult cases.
