Heizo has sometimes lent his son a hand in solving a tough case. Though he has a hard exterior, Heizo is very caring for his son, family, and friends. At the Osaka district, he is very close with Goro Otaki and Ginshiro Toyama. It is due to his friendship with Ginshiro Toyama that his son, Heiji, originally met Toyama's daughter, Kazuha. His wife is Shizuka Hattori. He is one of the most avid admirers of Sleeping Kogoro. He has a very serious attitude and seemingly cold, especially when he punched his son in front of many people hard enough for Heiji to fall down. But it was revealed later on that he merely punched Heiji for his son to be more aggressive in solving the case and using Heiji as a bait, although he apologized later on. He also is supportive of his son's career as a high school detective but also, as a caring father, he is also cares for his son's well-being. Heizo possesses a very sharp intellect and observation skills. His intelligence is on par with Yusaku Kudo, given how both fathers are able to solve a case before their sons do. Heizo was able to correctly deduce the culprit in the murder cases that involved Toyotomi's castle. His deduction skills were further demonstrated during a flashback, when he was able to solve case just by listening to the details on phone and give hint to Heiji. He is also the highest ranking officer at Osaka Prefectural police Headquarters, and thus has the command of many of the police officers of Osaka. (Source: Detective Conan World)
