Takashi Ichieda (jap. 一枝隆, Ichieda Takashi) is a major antagonist in "Wealthy Daughter Murder Case".

He's voiced by Hiroshi Nakano.

Past[]

Almost two years ago, Takashi was traveling on a yacht with his friends when a severe storm suddenly broke out. Yaeko Nanao, Takashi's girlfriend, went looking for Reika Yotsui with a boat and two life jackets, but didn't return. Instead, Reika and Yuji Nikaido were found with the life jackets. However, they stated that they hadn't met Yaeko. Meanwhile she drowned and her corpse was later discovered without her life jacket, which convinced Takashi that Reika and Yuji took her life jacket and left her behind. Therefore they were responsible for her death.

Present[]

Takashi is invited to Reika's 24th birthday and meets Ran, Kogoro and Conan at the party. He's thrilled with Kogoro because he found Reika's little dog without any problems. Since Reika wants to choose her future husband on her birthday, who will inherit everything after her father's death, he also tries very hard to please her. For example, he offers to drive her home in his Porsche when he finds out that her car has a flat tire. However, this is just a cover as he had planned from the start to kill her and get revenge for Yaeko's death.

While everyone is looking for the missing Reika, he lures Yuji to the estate's well and drowns him there. He puts Reika himself unconscious and tied up in the bathtub, which he fills so that she drowns too. After her death, he places the corpse so that it appears as if only her head was submerged under water until her death. To reinforce this false belief, he indiscriminately anesthetizes Ran and submerges her head underwater several times, leading those present to believe that the perpetrator wanted to kill her. The others now assume that Reika also drowned in this way and Takashi creates an alibi because he was with Kogoro at the estimated time of death.

The evidence that only Ichieda could have committed the murder is the water on his undershirt. In fact, all of the suspects have water on their shirts. However, the water on Osamu Gojo's sleeve is from the time he washed his hands, and the water on Takuya Mifune's collar is from the time he washed his face. On the other hand, Ichieda's arms were soaked against his shirt. This is evidence that he took off his jacket first before water got on it. When he committed the murder, he took off his jacket so that it wouldn't get wet. His elbows are wet from rolling up his sleeves to get Reika out of the bathtub.

Ichieda admits that he killed Reika and Nikaido and tells the others how they murdered the sweet and gentle Yaeko, who had come to their aid but was rewarded with abandonment and death. Before he murdered her, he asked her to tell him the truth, that they had both confessed to murdering Yaeko. He then proudly says that the two of them deserved to be murdered for what they had done, but Yone Nanao, Yaeko's grandmother, angrily calls him a fool. She then goes to Reika's corpse, closes her eyes and says that although she cannot forgive the two victims for what they did to her granddaughter, she believes that no one deserves a violent death because whenever that happens, someone will always cry and mourn someone around others because no one should feel what she felt and no one should do it.
