Who are the 5 cherry blossoms of Police Academy in Conan?

What is F5 Conan? Who is 5 cherry blossom Conan? Let's find out together!

Detective Conan is one of the longest running anime series of all time, with thrilling cases. The series revolves around 17-year-old Shinichi Kudo, a talented teenage detective who has helped the police solve all kinds of murders, but one day, he is caught up in a huge conspiracy when he eavesdrops on members of a criminal organization called the Black Organization and is forced to drink an experimental drug that will kill him.

Instead, the drug reverts him to the form of an eight-year-old child, after which he takes on the alias Conan Edogawa, concealing his true identity and moving into the home of his childhood friend, Ran Mori, the daughter of private detective Kogoro Mori. As Conan, Shinichi follows Kogoro on various cases and eventually solves them with the help of his father, Dr. Agatha, while secretly learning more about the organization that plotted to assassinate him. VIZ Media licensed the manga for an English release under the title "Case Closed". The Detective Conan (Case Closed) anime began airing in January 1996 and has spawned a series of theatrical films, the first of which was released in 1997.

In the latest movie of Detective Conan: The Halloween Bride, the 5 cherry blossoms of the Police Academy, also known as the F5 group, are the central characters of the movie. So who are those guys, what is their background, let's find out with TipsMake.com.

Matsuda Jinpei

Matsuda Jinpei is the first name of the F5 group to be introduced to the audience. He appeared through the flashback of Lieutenant Sato in chapter 366, during the serial bombing case in Tokyo.

Through the content of the manga and anime, we know that Jinpei was a guy who was good at all subjects when he was at the Police Academy. When he graduated, he joined the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team, Mobile Force, Security Division, Police Department with Hagiwara Kenji. However, after Kenji's death, Matsuda was transferred to the Criminal Investigation Group, Investigation Team No. 1, Criminal Division, Police Department and worked with Sato.

In Matsuda's final mission, he decided to sacrifice himself to receive a hint about the location of a bomb that the terrorist had placed. The hint would only appear in the last seconds before another bomb exploded. Thanks to Matsuda's message, the police found and disposed of the last bomb. However, in this message, Sato learned that Jinpei also liked her, which caused her to close her heart for quite a while.

Hagiwara Kenji

This is a character introduced to readers through chapter 369 in Matsuda Jinpei's memoir. He is a famous playboy of the academy. However, he is also quite carefree, sociable and has excellent observation skills. He is the one who joined the Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team with Matsuda Jinpei. He is the first person to die in F5 and because of the terrorist's bomb, Matsuda later died.

Furuya Rei - Amuro Toru - Bourbon - Zero

Long after the two members mentioned above were introduced to fans, the third member of F5, Furuya Rei, was introduced. This guy started appearing from chapter 785 of the Detective Conan series.

This guy has many different identities, at first he took the name Amuro Toru, a private detective and waiter at Poirot's cafe. Next we know him as Bourbon - a member of the Black Organization.

We gradually learn that his real name is Furuya Rei - an agent of the Security Bureau, the National Police Agency, who was placed in the Black Organization to carry out a mission. Besides, this guy also has the nickname Zero - with the meaning derived from the number 0, the name of the secret police.

Furuya Rei is the person with the best entrance exam results in history to the Police Academy. However, his relationship with other students is not very good because of the difference in skin color and hair color. Only the 5 cherry blossoms of the Academy always love and accompany him.

Rei is a special police officer with excellent intelligence and thinking ability, also possesses excellent shooting ability, and is a super racer. He also has a deep hatred for Akai Shuichi when he believes that Akai is the one who killed Morofushi Hiromitsu. However, in reality, Morofushi Hiromitsu committed suicide in front of Akai because he was afraid that his identity as an undercover agent would be exposed and could endanger Rei.

Date Wataru

He is the leader of the F5 group, he appeared in chapter 804 of the series in the case of Sergeant Takagi Wataru being kidnapped.

According to people, Date was a passionate and physically strong man, second only to Rei. He was a police officer in the Criminal Investigation Group, Investigation Division No. 1, Criminal Division, Police Department, and was also the one who guided and instructed Takagi. Unfortunately, he passed away in a car accident.

Morofushi Hiromitsu - Scotch

The last of the five cherry blossoms of the Police Academy is Morofushi Hiromitsu - codename Scotch. This boy appeared in chapter 937 through Rei and Sera's flashbacks.

We know that he was Rei's childhood friend and infiltrated the Black Organization with Rei. However, due to a careless act, his identity was exposed, and in order to protect Rei's safety, Hiromitsu decided to sacrifice himself despite Akai's unsuccessful attempts to stop him.

The 5 cherry blossoms of the Police Academy are young, passionate people who wholeheartedly protect justice, but for many different reasons they sacrificed, leaving only Rei. This must have left many regrets for the audience, but you can still understand more about these guys through Detective Conan: Halloween Bride, the latest movie in theaters.
