Biography[]
Kento made his first appearance at the Inn, where he along with his girlfriend and fellow Mystery Club member Ayako Oki are one of the finalists Sherlock Holmes contests, where he and Ayako insulted Kogoro for being below the range of the great Sherlock Holmes (which he found both annoying and offensive due to being compared to a fictional character). He and the others were informed by the host; Hiroyuki Kanaya the winner of the contest will receive a great gift; The very first edition of "The Study of Scarlet" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle but before they could enter the contest, they would be given a test where they must get at least 990 out of 1000 right in order to get a chance to enter the contest, even having them give up their cellphones and explain they have cameras all over the Inn.
The next day, Kento, along with everyone else waited in the dining room to see if Mr. Kanaya had finished grading the test, only for Hitomi Iwai, the employee to revealed that she hasn't seen him since yesterday. After the last few hours, most of the finalist (along with Kogoro and Ran) decided to turn themselves in having waiting too long for Mr. Kanaya to reveal the next test. It was then down to Kento, Ayako, Conan and Heiji who witness Hiroyuki taking one of the vans and drove off the cliff, while Conan and Heiji tried to get him to stop but it was too late as he drove off the cliff and died in the explosion.
Later as Conan, Heiji and the others sees the wreckage, Kogoro (in one of his failed deductions) believed that Hiroyuki killed himself because he didn't want to give up that book, as it was valuable, But Kento thinks that it wasn't a suicide but rather someone place his body in the van and caused him to drive off the cliff but Heiji remembered hearing a sound when he tried to wake up Hiroyuki while he was in the van. Later when everyone went to get their cellphones, they discovered that not only was their phones destroyed but the book was gone, and the second van gas tank was leaked. To make matters worse, it was revealed that the cameras that were in the Inn were fakes, just to scare the finalists, so they can't figure out who the killer is. Because of what happened, Heiji came with the conclusion that the killer is one of the finalists, but ruled out him, Conan, Ran, Kento, Ayako and even Kogoro (who admit he didn't want the book).
Just then Ayako revealed that she knows who the killer is and will reveal who they are after returning from the restrooms, with Kento follow her in order to protect her, which he returned when he said that she didn't need protection to the others. Later Kento and the others arrived in the restroom when it took Ayako was gone for a while, thinking that she was killed, only for her to exit out as she told the others that she was mistaken when she knew who the killer was, which Conan and Heiji refuse to believe that she was mistaken.
Back in the room, Kento and the others heard another explosion when they saw that the garage where the second van was in and to Kento's horror, rush to see if Ayako's inside but Kogoro stopped him, warning him about the flames. After the flames was gone, Ayako's charred remains were found in the back sit, causing the others to believe that Hiroyuki isn't really dead and is the true killer and his motive is to make sure no one would get his book, but Heiji confirmed that Hiroyuki is dead and the body they saw in the van is his, this caused Kento to be enraged when he wanted to know who killed his girlfriend, which Kogoro suggest that they go back in the Inn until further notice.
While in the Dining Room, the lights went off and on as Kento and the others witness Toshiaki Fujisawa who was stabbed but survived from an ice pick. This led to Kogoro still believing that Hiroyuki is the killer and that he is hiding in the Inn but Heiji pointed out that it wasn't Hiroyuki. After learning how the Blackout happened and finally know who the killer is (while remembering how Ran told them earlier about seeing Ayako with her test) but once again Kogoro in another one of his failed deductions claimed that the killer was the fortuneteller Maria Toda, thinking she used her psychic powers to make Hiroyuki drive off the cliff. Not wanting to bear more of this, Conan used his watch to knockout Heiji (since throughout the 2-parter, Heiji believed that Conan and Shinichi are the same) and revealed that the killer is Kento. This however caused Kogoro to hit him on the head (while not waking him up) as he was annoyed that Heiji would question his deductions and wanted to hear how he figured out how he killed Hiroyuki and Ayako, which Conan explained why.
A while back Heiji mention rigamortis and how Kento killed Hiroyuki the night before and used the van's heater to acerate the process, which would explain the noise he and Conan heard from before and since the body was destroyed when it felled from the cliff, there would be no one to figure it out. Later it was then revealed the reason why he killed Ayako was because her claim of her knowing the killer would expose him. So he told her that he hid the book (that he stole) and place it in the van and when she went to get it, only to not be able to see a thing, she used her lighter, not knowing the gas tank was leaking, which resulted in her dying in the fire. This upset Ran as she wondered why Kento would kill his girlfriend with Heiji revealed that he originally needed her when Hiroyuki fell off the cliff and didn't want her to expose him. It was also discovered that the fire was meant for Toshiaki, who also had a lighter as he was given a note about the book.
Kento still denied that he was the killer, even saying that without Ayako, they don't have anything on him until Conan (via Heiji) asked him a few questions that were founded in the Holmes test that they were given, including giving him one that wasn't on the test and revealed that the reason Ayako knew that Kento was the killer because when she tried to get some answer from his test, they were all blank, finally exposing him as the true killer. This caused Toshiaki to grab a hold on Kento and demanded why he tried to kill him and murder Hiroyuki and Conan revealed the motive.
Turns out a while back, both Hiroyuki and Toshiaki published a book together called "Irene Adler Sneer", where it would focus on Irene sneering, gloating and even laughing at Holmes and his mistaken deductions on his cases, which Kento took offense as he remembered that Irene was the only person that Sherlock viewed as his equal, and that book nearly ruined her reputation, so to save her, he would killed both men for making that book.
