Teitan Elementary School is the elementary school that Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, Genta, and Haibara currently attend. Its graduates include Shinichi, Ran, and Sonoko and many other characters.

Contents

Background

Conan's blue uniform. The shorts are supported by suspenders. The back of the jacket is plain.

Teitan Elementary School is a coeducational school serving grades 1-5. It is affiliated with Teitan Middle School, Teitan High School, and Teitan University. Teitan Elementary School has been around for a long time, but the timeline is somewhat conflicted as to when it began. Agasa attended Teitan elementary which means it is as least 40 years old; however, the first graduating class based on Sumiko Kobayashi's history is 33-34 years ago.[1] According to the anime, the new school building was constructed 30 years ago.[2] Unlike Teitan High, Teitan Elementary does not currently require a uniform. However, it is worth noting that, in the anime, Shinichi referred to the classic "blue jacket over a white shirt with a red bowtie" outfit he first wore as Conan as his old primary school uniform, implying Teitan Elementary at one point did require uniforms.[3]

Layout and facilities

Places of Interest

Class 1-B

Conan and the Detective Boys are enrolled in Teitan Elementary School's first grade B class. The teacher is currently Sumiko Kobayashi. Before Sumiko Kobayashi took over mid-year, the teacher used to be a woman named Toya. There are roughly 30 students in class.[4] Class 1-B is located in the central wing of the main building on the right side looking from the gate.[5]

Shoe Lockers

Students arriving at Teitan Elementary, per Japanese custom, take off the outdoor shoes they arrive in and swap them for indoor slippers. They keep their shoes in small lockers. Genta's locker has a sign on it adverting the services of the Detective Boys Club and where students may drop off case requests.

Animal hutches

Teitan Elementary has several animal hutches with rabbits and turtle that students can take care of. They are near several ginkgo trees. They are important in the Gingko-Colored First Love case.

Staff Room

The Staff room is where teachers keep desks, meet together, and plan and prepare their lessons. It appears in Kobayashi-sensei's Love.

Library

Teitan Elementary has a library which was thought by students 10 years ago to be haunted by a hat-wearing monster that appears on full moon nights. In Shinichi Kudo's Childhood Adventure, young Shinichi and Ran go to investigate the tale and encounter the original Kaitou Kid.
