Does Kogorou have any siblings?

[meidei]

This have been bothering me for a while now.
I don't remember if any info about Kogorou's extended family was revealed but Kogorou's name means "small-5th-son". It is spelled å°

[kaitoushinichi]

I doubt he has any siblings. But it would be funny if he did 

[randompi314159]

Yeah, I doubt he has any, though Gosho could throw something in.

[Kleene Onigiri]

I HOPE not. Another Kogoro? no thanks!

But most DC characters don't have any siblings. The ones I can remember that have siblings are: Mitsuhiko, Sonoko, Shiho.
Shinichi, Ran, Kazuha, Heiji, Genta, Ayumi, Sato etc. don't have any (or at least they weren't mentioned)

I doubt it as well, but I still get the picture of five Kogoros in my head, and some are female, it is not a pretty sight

[Akonyl]

in a bizarre twist, when all the main characters find the leader of the BO, kogoro finds out it's his brother! What a twist!

Well, I heard, not a 100% sure about this, most families in Japan like having one child. But again, I don't remember my sources and whatnot.

I sense a slight dislike for Kogorou-ness...
Neither I believe that Kogorou has siblings, but the name keeps troubling me. There is always a slight possibility.

[randompi314159]

Yeah, since nothing's been mentioned, anything is possible.

[meidei]

We don't know anything about Kogorou's parents either, isn't it?

Mmm... *goes to crate some theories involving family tragedies*

[randompi314159]

Yep, we don't know the family history for most adult characters, (actually for several of the main characters all together).

We should add this in the "What do you want to see before the series end" topic. I suddenly became interested in their pasts.

[randompi314159]

Yeah, it'll add, possibly, more depth to the characters than they have right now.

Lack of siblings in the series really bothers me, as if it were in China.

Japan has had a lower birth rate than China for a while. Supposedly the birth rate increased last year, but it was only ahead of Hong Kong out of the whole world in 2008, according to Wikipedia/CIA World Guesstimatebook Factbook.
