Main characters of the series

The series was created and is drawn by Gosho Aoyama. The protagonists from his earlier series Magic Kaito look very similar: Kaito Kuroba has made a number of appearances as himself in the anime and manga of the series. The main protagonist of the Case Closed series Shinichi Kudo and the protagonist of the Magic Kaito Series, Kaito Kuroba are also similar. Hundreds of minor characters have been created and are always given backgrounds, motives, and a personalities that put them under suspicion during the investigation.

The English adaption dubbed by Funimation has different names than the one in the manga published by Viz Media. The names in the article follow the Funimation formats.
